The Melropolif aii I'olloe IJIII. Tub arguments in lavor of a Metropolitan Volice Commission are strengthened by the faot that Mayor Fox, notwithstanding the forbear iug spirit he has displayed up to this time, occasionally holds levees, which are re markably well attended, for the reoeption of applications for police appointments. The local reporters inform us that after the aspi rants for the honor of wearing the city uui forni are duly formed into a long line by a Reserve, wearing white gloves, they eaoh, in turn, receive a hearing before the Mayor. The sweet words of affection and vows of fidelity on the one hand, and the assurances of a de a: re to serve faithful henchmen on the other, which are presumably uttered on these occa sions, do not reach the ears of disbelievers iu the purity, patriotism, and wisdom of modern Democracy, but it requires no great stretch of the imagination to suppose that the fol lowers of Seymour have net yet lost their faith in the doctrine they always devoutly worship after their party triumphs, that "to the vio. tors belong the spoils." Of the thousands of applicants for police appointments, it is questionable Whether a single one among the number ever thinks of seriously basing his claims for favor upon the pretext that he would improve the efficiency of the force, or that the public good really requires the displacement of any special inoumbeut for his accommodation. The rauge of argument narrows down to the stereotyped phrases of spoils-hunting partisanship; and when Patrick, erst of county Cork, bat now of the ward, appears, osp in hand, he deems it a work of supererogation to define in detail his special qualifications &s a con servator of the public peace, or to say mora than that he has served the party well at delegate and general elections, and that he has won the favor of this or that magnate of the organization. As the case now stands, there is a general complaint among the Demo cratic politicians that "the Mayor moves very slowly," but if the Legislature adjourns without passing a Metropolitan Police bill, and if Mayor Fox, after such escape from pro posed restrictions upon his power, should be disposed to retain any considerable number of Republican polioemen, he would be subjected to a partisan pressure that few men could withstand. Every weapon in the Democratic armory would be employed to change his de termination, and he would in turn be im plored and denounced, praised and perse cuted, until he either guillotined the last of the Republican policemen or openly quarrelled with his original supporters, and gained a niche in the calendar of traitors to the Democratic party. No good citizen who calmly reflects upon the subject can desire that any such thoroag4i change In the police force should be effected now or at any future time. The gravest public interests imperatively demand that the police force shall not be at the meroy of every partisan revolution. It holds to the city a relation very similar to that held to the National Government by the regular army, and nobody was ever insane enough to pro. pose that its commanding officers and sol diers should be subjected to the changes which periodically ocour In the olvll servloe. Phil j delphia needs, for the common good of all parties, for the "outs" as well as for the "ins," and for the protection of her eight nonared thousand, men, women, and children and her hundreds of millions of dollars' worth of property, a permanent police force, to be modified only by dismissals for cause, promo tions for merit, and new appointments to fill unavoidable vacancies. While we disapprove of the incorporation of ufjr features in .a Metropolitan Police bill, it would be a grave mistake for tlie Legislature to adjourn without decisive action on this subject, and to leave Philadelphia at the mercy of a raw corps of polioemen, more familiar with thejart of carrying Demooratio delegate eleotions than the business of guarding life and property. Now what kind of a bill is at once the most just and most praotical 1 In all its seleclious the Legislature should be guided by the fact that it is not a temporary party expedient, but a permanent reform. We think that the Board of Commissioners should certainly number among its members the Mayor of Philadelphia, and it seems to us only just that . he should be its President. As to the other members, whila every mode of selecting them is open to objection, it seems to us that appoint ment by the Governor, with confirmation by the Senate, is least liable to abuse. The selection by the Judges of the Court of Common Pleas baa its advantages, but it also has great dan ger. By vesting so great a power in their Lands, we make those positions, which should be utterly removed from all political bitter ness, become at once the prize for which poli ticians would scramble. We endanger the purity and dignity of the bench by plaoing such a duty on Its members. These Commis sioners, it seems to as, ought to be paid for their services, and ought to be compelled to devote to the duties of their position all their time. They should, In faot, be as much Com missioners as the Chief of Police is Chief. In Other words, it should be made their sole busi ness. It would oost the city but little add!, tional, and would be the commencement of a j jnugli-needed and eminently proper reform. I TIIE DAILY EVENING The Acquittal of Mt. Twltchell. Tll BnHUl.1 A . , -"jm.vw. yeuieraay or Mrs. Camilla K iwncneuas an aocomplioe in the murder o mrs. inn, did not create much surprise in the imu. o, mose wnonad read the evidence pro- "um, VJ me commonwealth against her. The proofs adduced were clearly insufficient to iiiBien upon her the heinone offense with which she was charged. Under these clroum stances, District Attorney Bheppard had no alternative save that of abandoning the case. by requesting the jury to return a verdiot of not guilty. This ollioial and his associates have done their full duty, under the law, to the people and the accuted. So long as there was & prima fane case against the prisoner, it was dearly the duty of Mr. Sheppard to press forward with the case until that prima facie case was either strengthened to one of posi tive certainty or entirely undermined. This he did, and public seutlment will justify him, both in insisting upon the detention of the accused until she could be brought to trial, and in abandoning the case as soon as the proofs were found insuflioient to warrant a conviction. Instruction oi'DErBviATEnFuM!. Forthe past twenty years the annual reports of the State Treasurer have been burdened with a statement of the existence of $41,000 of depredated funds which were held by the State. As the amount was added in the suru- ming-up of the assets of the Commonwealth, and continually led to confusion, the Gov ernor, in his annual message, advised that a committee be appointed to examine into these iunds, and if they were worth anything, sell them, or if not, to have them destroyed. Ills recommendation was acted upon, and a com mittee have investigated their character. They consist of notes of broken banks, and of "relief money," and are, all combined, not worth a dollar. They therefore recommend the destruction of the entire amount. The report was adopted, and hereafter we shal1 lose that old-time item in the statement of what Pennsylvania is worth. Thr postage of the membars of the Penn sylvania House of Representatives is paid for by the State, the expenditures for this purpose at the session of ISo'S being $19,35004. This would allow an average for each member of 1193-50, or an amount sufficient to purchase six thousand four hundred and fifty (6450) three cent postage stamps. A portion of this sum is appropriately used in prepayment of thepostage oh documents, but the Legislature has onV a few publications of general interest printed, and we were on the point of giving the legis lative sages credit for conducting an extensive and instructive correspondence with their con stituents, when we noticed the statement made in the House that one member had recently forwarded by mail a single package chargeable with five dollars postage ! If parcels of this size ofteu find their way to the post office, the expenditure is easily accounted for; but a new mystery remains do the live dollar package? codsisi oi boots or dirty linen f iiie bKSATorjAL Bolt. The Deniooratw fcenators bolted yesterday from the chamber in order to leave that body without a quorum. and succeeded, there being but fifteen Repub licans in liarrlsburg. There is nothing which can excuse such an action as this. These gentlemen had all the rights of members and could resort to all the tactics of members. If, after all, the rules of the Senate and the laws of the land were against them, then it was their duty to remain, and not, by an unjust and almost illegal aot, deprive the body to which they belonged of their presence. There is another lesson to be drawn from this action. It is that Republican Senators should not absent themselves from their posts during the session of the Senate. Nor should they pair off with the Opposition. Had it not been for the system of pairing, there would have been eighteen Senators present, and the Democrats might have absented themselves as lone as they saw fit. 6 Cokkkction. Mr, Eliaha W. Davis says that he did not call The Evening Tkleoraph a "guerrilla sheet," but that it was only the Morning JW, lining JJulletin, and Sundau JMspaich that were thus characterized. O course we are immeasurably relieved by th correction, though why we should not be con sidered in the same category we do not know lo be sure we did not bitterly denounce the Receiver of Taxes bill, but we have spoken so freely of its merits and of other proposed sta tutes that we maybe almost called "guerril las." The North American is praised by Mr. Davis, though for what cause we oannot say except that it has preserved a silenoe' throughout all the discussion. Now, the truth is that the pipers above named are those which saved the Republican party in Philadelphia from utter annihilation last fall, and are the true exponents of the sentiments of the people who compose the party. When Mr. Davis, therefore, denounoes them as "guerrillas," he reminds us of the Irish recruit who complained that all the regiment was out of step with him. SOLACE iOH ilfcLAWAUE.

I would say to those who are similarly aillioted, especially In cases like mine, where the disease has run for a long time, that although one bottle will relieve, it will not effect a cure; but by perse venng in its use.
