An Ordinance to Reduce the Police Force
The following is the ordinance to roduoe the
police force of our city, valid: was introduced in
Councils 'yesterday :
To the `elect and Common Council., of the City of
Philadeirkia :
Gas , mime : The Committee ou Retrenchment hare
deemed it advisable toxecommend to Couuclln a reduc-
Von in the number of policemen, and aloe a reduction
in the salaries of officers and men, and tick the adoption
of the supplement, which accompanies thin report.
The committee believe that it is incumbent upon
Councils to curtail the expenses of our municipal gov
erninent, whenever and wherever it can be done, with
out hopaieng its efficiency ; an thin Is the only way to
lessen the burden of taxation, which heart' no heavily
upon our citizens. The present number of policemen
is 850 There are 16 lieutenants, and .12 sergeants—
making together 608 men and officern. The committee
propose to reduce this number to 600, including
officers, thereby cutting off 08 men. -
The drat Councils after consolidation /darted with
820 men, excluedve of officers. Each ward Vat made a
police district, with one lieutenant and two nergennte,
making 72 officers. Men and officers together num
bered 802
This large force was thought to be neressery at that
time. insomuch as the fire companies kept the city in
an uproar, day and night. with their rioting and fight
ing. It is questiertable whether more than half of thin
member would hare been thought of had it not been
for the dinordera In the Ore department. In November,
1865, about the time the fire companies were reorgan
ized and reduced to order,
.the canto Contrite reduced
the pollee force to what it now ie. and what it boo boon

further reduced without endangering the peace of the
city, or impairing the efficiency of our government.
It is the fear of sudden outbreak"' that makes it ne
cessary fertile city to keep at its command so large a
police force. But the facility afforded by the police tele
graph in suddenly concentrating the force whenever it
is needed, Is deemed by the committee to be equal to two
hundred men. The cost of this valuable instrument
was about $52.000. and it is maintained at an annual ex
pence or only $2.300. Its chiefeet vain° consinte In ils
power to concentrate the force on a 'redden emergence.
Let us take a view of the action of the City Councils
totter the old system of watching, and eau what
their wisdom dictated wlthlregard to a police force.
t ()lately as 1835, we tied "that in order to provide 55
the security of the persona and property of the Inhabi
tants of the city of Philadelphia. by a auificient number
of watchmen, agreeably to the will of Stephen Girard,
Counolle ordained that there should be four captain.;
of the wattle, tilerkrztvro - ahem, and one.htinered and
forty watchmen, who ehould perform the duty of
lighters and watching the may. The pay of the watch
men under the stimulus of the donation of Stephen
(Heard for this very purpose was $363 per annum.
Each captain or the watch wan paid $6OO per annum.
Here we have 172 men and officer'', at a coot of only
164.180. to keep the citizens secure in their persons
and *petty. The police force now, for the same ter
ritorl, consists of 280 men, 4 lieutenants, and 8 tier
geants, at a cost of 5122 400, benides the cost of light
ing and cleaning the lamps This in nearly 100 par cent.
advance. So late as 1840, Spring Garden bed 83
watchmen, 1 captain, awl 1 lieutenant, at a cent of
0a1y514,300, for the security of persons And property.
At the yrceent time, the three wArde comprising the
same territory are entitled to a force of 87 men, 2
lieutenants, and 4 sergeants, at a cent of $47,200,
more than 100 per cent advance. The practice of plc-
Clog policemen at the steamboat landings and railroad
depots, at %entree, and places of amusement; at shows
and exlibitioes, to prevent disorder, and to detect pick
pocket'', drawl' largely upon the force. Frequent ap
plleaticon are made to the Mayor for policemen, by in
divides:a whole object en to bring together largo bodies
- of perms for various purposes. Your committee aro
of the cpinlon that all such applications, whether from
eeenpantee or individuate, should be met by the Mayor,
by qualfying, an he has a right to do, as ninny ',peeled
ixelicenon an the applicants may desire, to protect
them ant their property. at their turn expense; than
leaving hie own force for the general purpoaea of a
police.
An retards the reduction of 'Warden. your committee
are of tie opinion that City Counelle, as agent of the
°Hy, ant dinburner of the funds of their constituents,
should use them with the same care and economy that
each manlier of Counci is would use bin own. And by
what staulard does each bueluens man regulate the
management of hie own affairs, but by the universal
'standard 3 f eupply and demand. Ought members of
Council Is estahltah a different rule from that of indi
viduals, then they are using other people's money in
stead of bele own? Oiremustancen, we are all aware ;
are very dfferent now from what they were when the
pretiont salaries wore fixed. Your committee have
no hesitaton in declaring that. as regards the wages
of the wetting olaaaea, from which the police force is
principal]. derived, there Is folly a reduction of 26 per
cent. AA what is still more unfortunate for thin elan,
rally 25 per cent. are not able to obtain any employ
ment at al,. City Councils had no agency in bringing
&pout this state of things. But, like all other employ
ers and employees, they must yield to circumstances
which they cannot control. Your committee deplore,
'this state atilt:ma—but they look forward with a conso
nog hope, hat the time will Fenn arrive, when our own
labor, the labor of this city and this country, will be fully
employed Ineentributing to the comforts and luxuries of
our people. Labor in the great pulsation of the coun
try; mil - rhos and hale, the country must Ore and fall
also. In this depressed condition of affairs. when
those who supply our treasury end it so difficult
to obtain ;be lunde, would Councils be joetified
in retelobg the naiades that were paid in
1864, 'lea every department wee In the full tide
'of preepwity ? Lot no look at the salaries that
were paid jest before consolidation In 1848, whoa
taxee were much lower than they aro now, the old City
Counclln fixed the compel:titration of the p olice - force as
follows t Ctedsios of the night policemen, tato
'annum; leutenulls, FM; day policemen, $400; night
policemen, $380; turnkeys. CM. Those salaries are
lower than ye propose to fig them now. Sven In 1860
the marehals police were paid but $4OO per Annum and
the lieutenante 12 per day. If lowering the naiades of
the police could prevent a large clam of our mechanics

Special Meeting of the School Controllers.—
A special mooting of the Board of Controllers of
the Public ,Scliools tens hold yesterday morning.
Win. J. Reed, the president, said that he had
called the meeting on account of the City Con
troller refusing to sign the warrants of the teachers
passed ot tho last meeting of the board.
Mr. Duffield said that be supposed that the only
method left for the board was to call upon Councils,
as the overruling power, for relief. If they cannot
give it, nobody can. Ile understood that the Po
lice and highway Departments were in the same
way as the teachers. Mr. D. thip•offered the fol
lowing :
Whereas, The salaries of the teachers and others em
ployed by this Department will be due en the 30th in
stant; and whereto the term of the present City Con
troller does not expire until the 6th of July - DOW and
whereas, the mild officer woe waited upon by the pre
sident of this board. it having been intimated to him
that he would not sign the warrants which fell due at
the above. date; and whereas, the maid Oily Controller
distinctly and positively refused to sign Rohl warrant,' : '
therefore,
itesolved, That the City Councils be requested to
take such action in the matter as to require of the
Controller the auditing and signing of the warrants due
from this Department before the expiration of his term
of office.
Mr. Dufflehi woe of the opinion that if thoso re
solutions were presented to Councils in the after
noon, and their true intent made known to tho
*embers. they wowtd have the &shod effect, or
put Mr. Taylor in such a position that be would
rooedo from hie determination.
Mr. Fletcher was surprised nt the notion of the
.Contioller. He bad a conversation with the Con
troller elect and the late Controller, Mr. Hender
son. The latter informed him that he retired on
the first Monday 114 SulY, and at that time there
was not a bill outstanding, as his clerks and him
self had worked night and day to bring up the
work. The speaker thought that Mr. Taylor hail
no precedent for his course.
Mr, Dusenberry thought it boat to advise Coun
cils of the state in willed' Matters stood.
The President said that ho had argued with the
Controller for a half hour, and advised him to con
sider the matter, but he replied that be would not
change his" mind. Mr. English, the'chtof clerk of
the department, hod done ail ho could to convince
the Controller of his error, but failed. The bills
are duo on tho 30th of June, and. the Controller
has five days in dolly to sign theta:
Mr. Duffield rend from the Consolidation' not,
relative to the duties of the' Controller, pad the
supervisory powers of Councils.
,The 'question was then taken on the preamble
and resolution, and they 'were - unanimously
adopted.
Mr. Hancock moved that's committee of five be
appointed to urge upon Cotinoils the importance of
the matter contained in the resolution. 'The
motion Was,agreed .to, and the following gentle
men appointed on the committee Messrs. Dot-
Laid, Lukens, Dollingsviorth, Dusenberry, and
Leech.
Mr. Triniek inquired how it was that tho schools
south of Conics street were only bolding one ses
sion. The schools in' his section (20th) were all
holding two onions, and the scholars wore begin
ning to got rebellious.
Tho President said it was contrary to the rules
of the board to have but one session.
Mr. Frishinutb, Thirteenth ward, said that
his reheats had a session of six hours daily. They
eminence early in the morning; have a recess, and
then hold the balance of the cession
The Secretary then read the resolution of the
beard relative to the subject,
Several members from lower wards saitlihat tho
FOllOOlll in their seotione all had two eeseions.
Tim debate WS bacominggeneral, when Mr. Du
senberry objected, as it was out or order, and the
meeting was olosod abruptly.
./In Inebriate 4sylum.—A meeting to devise
the ways and means or providing a home for
drunkards was held last night at the lilusicel
Fund natl. The hour fixed for the meeting was
eight o'clock, at which hour about thirty people
were present. The exercises wore witnessed by
about sixty people.
The meeting wee organised by calling to the
chair Hon. C. C. Luther, when Rev. Dr. Newton
addresi.d the audience,
lie said, if wo wore to judge of a oauso by the
numbers that wore present at its incipiency, we
might, in the present once, be justly discouraged.
But many of the most noble enterprises arose from
the very smallest beginnings. We know that at
ono time the glorious church of Christ, which now
counts its myriads of members, was all contained
in one tipper room at Jerusalem, and ono hundred
and twenty was the number of their names. Ono
of our largest missionary societies hnd its origin,
some fifty years ago, under the shady side
of a hay stack, where three young men, with
hearts filled with love to Christ, sat down
together in friendly conversation upon the value
of their souls. If wo were standing upon the Alps,
in the grnnd mountain pass whore stands the con
vent of St. Bernard, we should be shown a little
rill, so small that it could be covered by the out
stretched'hand, and yet, if followed for a day or
two upon its onward course, we Should find that
little rill changed into tho magnificent Rhine.
The speaker remembered an instance when,
upon a resoling being called on a certain occasion,
only two persona were present. They, nevcrthe
leas, organized a meeting, the one electing the
other president, who then appointed the first al
secretary. They wont on, transacted their-busi
ness, passed resolutions, and in due time adjourn
aeoretary had the minutes published af
terwards in the newspapers, as held by a large
and respectable meettng. Shortly after, be met
the president, villein great surprise. asked him
how be dared give publicity to such falsehood.
"Falsehood !" said the secretary, " not a bit of
it." " Why, you said the meeting was large and
resptable," qtioth the president. " And so it
was,"was the reply. "Ain't you largo, and
ain't respectable'?"
Mr. Newton proceeded to show that if the
drunkard were removed from the temptations to
indulge in strong drink, ho would 'eventually be
weaned from the 'appetite for it, and at some
length elaborated the idea that the grass of God
seconding the aid of such au institution, alone
oould restore the drunkard to society and to him
self.
The proposed charter was then road, after which
Dr Joseph Parrish, of the Institution for the Im
becile, at Germantown, addressed the audience
briefly upon the pathology of intemperance.
He was followed by Judge Holley Judge Kel
ley made a capital address, for which we much
regret that we have no space in our columns to
day. What we need, said the Judge, is a place
something between the almshouse and the prison.
We do not want to offer a premium for drunken
ness by treating the drunkard with greater ten
derness than the virtuous poor, but to provide for
him some shelter whore hia evil appetite may be
cured, and at the same time ho may sustain him
self by his own labor.
Wo need a house of correction, whore the poor
inebriate may be eared for. At present we have
no place to which the drunkard may bo consigned,
but thejail Judge Kelley enlarged upon this
point with a good donl of force, citing his experi
ence while in the Quarter Sessions, in' defence of
his position. He said that the present wee not the
time for this movement, and wo wore
,not the per
sons to do It. Some forty or fifty gentlemen were
required who would put down their names for
$l.OOO each. A year hence, when the times grow
better, this could easily be clone. He spoke for
some time, and was listened to with ranked atten
tion.
Recent disclosures have had a decidedly bene
ficial affect in checking certain swindling opera
tions which wore complained of by those legiti
mately engaged in the book-trade Yet °dodges"
of every description are constantly developing
themselves, and we have to record to-day the
latest which has made its appearance. Yes
terday morning, a young man named Edward
Daly, apparently about Wanly years of age, was
arraigned before Recorder Eneu at the Central
Police-station. It appeared from the evidence
that was elicited at the hearing, that ayoungman
from Delaware, on Wednesday, went into Aft. J.
B. Oifford's store, No. 219 Market street, and pur
chased a bill of goods, amounting to $l5, and or
dered thorn to be sent to the steamboat, at the
foot of Chestnut street. Tho porter who marled
the articles was followed by the aroused, and as
soon as they were delivered to the captain, be en
gaged a small lad to go and represent that a mis
take' had been made; that the goods were to go
to Spruce-street wharf. The captain, suspeoting
thatall woe not right, followed the lad. and found
his surmise correct, and bad the Remised arrested.
The Recorder held him to bail to answer at court.

again. The Small ; hours to-day opened with two
highway attempts at robbery,;-About 1 o'clock a
stranger, residing at ti Vouilland-street hotel,
while returning from the Bowery Theatre, was
etrook at with a slung-shot, which smashed his
bat, and wounded hie cheek. His legs served him
in good stead. About half-past four, a citizen
was assaulted at thb ems/ref Tay and Hudson
streets. and Ilia watch MAO. Ile cried "Step
thief," and, with the assisiitee of an officer,. who
came up, pursued and captured the robber. Bur•
glories and highway plunder are otting alarm
ingly rife. The Pest to-night sums up in a half
dozen paragraphs, many valuable hints in rela
tion to the vtodus operandi of house-rob
bing; enumerating the " Repazring Dodges,"
whereby • the' thief obtains entrance - by as
suming to bo n perambulating house re
pairer, paper-hanger, locksmith, etc.; the " pod.
let's game," the operations of which are prinei-
Pally for stealing clothing; the "new drop game,"
where the thief takes a package or a box to a pri
vate residence, or hotel, with a bill receipted, and
protein's that the "goods" have boon bought at
some store, collects his charges, and the "goods"
turn out to be " steno," "old boots," or-something
equally valuable; the "burglar's confidence
game," which is carried on by making love in the
area to susceptible Bridgots; and, finally, the
"cousin" dodge,' by which, in conjunction with
this accommodating relative, Biddy herself ac
complishes the abstraction of silver, etc., while
"the front door is loft unlocked by accident."
Legion indeed are the tricks of city thieves ; and
housekeepers in Philadelphia should bo as much
on their guard as they ought to here. - - '
To-day, the indefatigable -Barnum- sailed foi
London, as it is said, to perfect, he sa,s, his
rangemonts with Lumley, for bringing over a new

good ono, because there is no knowing to what
oxtent our fashionable love of imitation may
overcome the natural parsimony of "upper ten

and whether Governor Walker Will curb his
anoieht steed , of " unbridled traffic " into the
sobor palm of " protection " for the occasion, aro
problems to bo solved, as political riddles usually
are, by the doctrine of "oxpedienoy." Meantime,
the Governor quietly ruralizes with his brother:
in-law, General Cooke, at Hoboken, and (rumor
so bus it) talks con Mien tinily with private friends
regarding the "inevitable heat man for '6O ;" and
that, you may bo sure, is neither the "Little

be the gent referred to who made the grand tour,

Dormer Cover—Judges Sharewood, Stroud, and

Queerest figestoss—Judge Allison —There were few
cases of any public importance at this court yesterday.
The following prison cases were disposed of:
John M. Freeland was acquitted of the larceny of a
quantity of clothing, the property of Mr. Anthony.
John Williams, a colored individual, who was lucky
enough to have the means to go on a grand spree, or, to
use his own language, •• have a high old time," was
charged with malicious mischief in making eternal
smash of all the benches in the Twenty-fourth ward
station house. where he had been token while In the
enjoyment of the pleasant time alluded to When
asked by the judge what etp'anation he had to offer of
his performances in the station house, he grinned face.
tiously, held down his bead, twiddled his finger s, and
wisely left the canoe to the Imagination of his Honor,
who sentenced him to one month in the county prison.
John Kane, for an assault and battery on Frerichs'
Herman, WBB sentenced to one month in the county
prison.
John Boyer was acquitted on two bills of indictment
charging him with passing $1 counterfeit bills on the
Shamokin Bank. There was a roladesetiption in these
indictments, and the judge directed a verdict of not
guilty, The Dietrict Attorney:llr .Longhead new
mile, and the defendant will be tried on them this
morning.
Charles Smith was acquitted of passing a counterfeit
$5 bill on the Philadelphia Dank. It appeared, from
the testimony. that this counterfeit, which wee admi
rably executed, and calculated to deceive any but en
expert, was received by Smith himself, in change for a
$lO gold piece. Au officer of thePhiladelphis Bank less
'coifed, who testified that he had taken tbo counterfeit
hithself, in hie exchanges. District Attorney Long
head for the prosecution; Messrs. Doran and 'Woodward
for the deem.
Dltiartt IS'est and Hiram Decker were acquitted of the
larceny of a keg of red lead.
The 'Yttrium"; School.—We made one of a
Party who visited The Training School for Veeble-
Alluded Children" at Germantown, on Tuesday last,
and have a ;reit desire to make our gratifiCati on public,
in order to induce our citisens who have not yet en
joyed the game treat to avail themselves of the first
opportunity during the favorable weather of our sum
mer months, and we are confident (if report says truly)
th a t we cannot give our sentiments more Judicious
publicity than through the columns of your highly re
spectable and widely circulated paper.
Having read and heard much of the merits of "The
Training School," we were prepared, in a measure, for
the progress of the pupils ; but we must confess we
went with a. feeling of depreselOn—think log it probable
we might be disposed to weep, but sorely not to laugh.
Judge, then, of our agreeable surprise upon oar antral
to find ourselves introduced into one of the happiest
and meat mirth a/ groups we hare ever had the plea
sure or mingling among.
Tho soperintendeute, matrons, and teachers, all seem
remarkab'y qualified for their peculiar charge, and ap
pear to vie with eech other While giving instruction to
render their pupils happy, which we think of the
highest Importance to a class. upon many of whom, alas!
happiness may never have dawned, until placed within
the range of their Infinence. As we listened to the play
ful remarks of these teachers and witnessed their smil
ing faces beamiog with affection, we felt that this alone
--this sunshine of mirthfitineas"—would prove en M-
I estimable blessing to 'minds by nature groping in
gloom and sadness. The exercises of the ;school are
varied by gymnsetica, music, dancing, Ai., one of the
termite sports being the use of the dumb-bells ; in this
diversion soma of the children greatly excel, perfomi
ing the motions into inimitable grace, keeping exquisite
time to the music; and judging from our own feelings
of delight an witnessing their exhibition. we think there
are few places where our citizens could enjoy them
selves more for an hour or two than at this delightful
retreat, and we confidently assure any who are diaposed
to pay a visit, that they will receive a cordial welcome
from - the polite Inmates of this noble institution, and
we greatly mistake if the clothing do not (as we our
selves did) laugh heartily before leaving, which Is worth
something these "hard times." To speak adequately
of the progress of the scholars in the various studies
would swell a volume; suffice It to say they are incredi
ble, and most be witnessed to be fully believed,
and reflect very great credit on all who have partici
pated in developing the imbecile mind.
But in speaking, of the improvement and enjoyment of
the pupils, we must not forget to mention that their
