Last night, the halfway drinking house on the
Common street shell road better known as "Sports-

TEE POLICE ExcrrEMRNT in the Fourth District
appears to have subsded and to have taken its place
| among the things that were.


Mayor Stith yesterday appointed and swore in
eight policemen for duty in the Fourth District.
These, with twelve Of the regular First District po-
lice went up last evening" and Chief Adams himself
went along, to assist Lieutenant Dryden in the
proper disposal Of their force The Mayor will proba
bly, get through with his new appointments to-day.
Since Saturday night the revolted police Of the
Fourth have not gone around or done any duty as
citizens patrol" The downtown police at present
acting up there, have met neither insult nor
trouble Of any kind. The population Of the District
have not been seriously disturbed excited by the
police revolution, and the District generally appears
to be following the tenor of its way, and pre-
serving its reputation as the most quiet and orderly
District Of the city.


1t is alleged by some that the police revolt
casioned by personal hostility to Lieutenant Dryden
How true this is we unable to state authorita.
lively. But If it be true, it would seem odd that
there should be such strife against an officer who
never before this time, had anything to do with the
| Fourth District or its police.


| In regard to the men who revolted, we have only
| to remark that, whether they did it voluntarily OF
through the influence of Others they displayed bad
judgment as men, and sad forgetfulness Of their
duty to the people of their District whose peace and
property they had sworn to protect, aud for which
service they were deriving their pay from the people
OF the whole city If they felt like quitting the ser
vice, why did they not give the Mayor timely warn
ing or else, If suddenly aggravated, stay duty a
least for short time, in justice to the people whom
they had taken an oath to protect? Their strike wa
like "jump" among steamboat hands devoid o
just cause, reason sense; act meriting the re
buke and condemnation OF the entire public, and o
the citizens Of the Fourth District in particular.
The excuse which will be offered, namely, tina


these men Immediately organized themselves into
"citizens PATROL can have weight with sensibl.
men. Their action was revolutionary, and opened
the door to anything that might have offered des
tructve to peace and property. Luckily for the Dis
trict its population are almost wholly on the side
peace and good order and the opening made by th,
revoted (and revolting) police, for confusion ant
anarchy, was not taken advantage Of by anybody.
