TUt STEAMER HOWARD CAssARD, as
has been stated, made run down the
river Yesterday as far as Broad creek.
The steamer has recently received &
coat of white paint and her tunnels
have been decorated with yellow bands,
and her appearance was neat and trim
as she glided down the stream. LIE
purposes for which the trip was made
were satisfactory in every particular
to Mr.. Fryer, the designer OF the steam
er. Fires were started in the furnaces
about 10 o'clock liz the morning ana by
> O'Clock from so to 20 pounds OF steam
had been generated, and by the time
the vessel was cast loose from the
wharf 100 pounds were indicated. 1t
was Mr.. lryer's intention TO test the
working OF The steamers screw. but no
ATTEMPT was made TO attain speed,
though at times the Cassard forged
ahead lively. There was, however,
some difficulty experienced with the
condenser, which rendered ii necessary
to stop the machinery frequently.
Everything else worked satisfactory 10
Mr.. Fryer, though some Of the mem
bers of the company wore not satisfied
with the trial. a number Of invited
guests were aboard, al of whom ex-
pressed themselves is pleased with
their trip when the steamer returned
about o clock.

ALL FuDGE.-A Washington paper
this morning published sensational
story stating that Capt. Mushbach, OF
this city, and Sheriff Veitch, of the
county, had visited Frye's camp in the
county yesterday, ordered the men to
leave at once, and threatened to arrest
them and put them to work on public
works or hire them to individuals. The
paper also stated that the sheriff had
exhibited shacklcs and that in turn the
army had refused to leave the county
and had threatened to throw Captain
Mushbach in the river. As matter Of
fact Sheriff Veitch was not at the camp
yesterday and Capt. Mushbach was
there through curiosity, he with some
friends having gone to the county on
business. He had casual conversation
with some of the men but gave no or
ders and heard no threats.

( The investigation of New York
city's police has uncovered a depth
of infamy absolutely unimaginable.
It has shown that the police of
the metropolis annually receive
from houses of ill-fame, unlicensed
saloons and other institutions con-
Quoted in violation Of law $780,
100000 for so-called protection.
It has developed the fact that the
police appointments cost the ap-
pointees S500,OO0. Such bound
less corruption and Questionable
infamy do not seem possible in
this christian age, and shows more
than ought else to what immeas-
urable extremes men will 60 to
satisfy their selfish greed for gold.
This condition of affairs is not OF
course confined to Gotham, but
prevails measurably in all our
cities. The system needs chang
ing radically.
