Arrival In France A Sketch f Ills Past
Career.
Giuseppe Garibaldi has at last arrived in
France, to fight the battles of the so-called re
public against the German invaders. In this
new venture of his, he may accomplish much or
little time alone can tell. But now that he
once more emerges from the obscurity of
Coprera, his adventurous career is Invested
with a passing interest.
lie was born in Nice July 4, 1800. Ho was
brought up to his father's profession of mariner.
When a boy he rescued a poor woman from
drowning at the risk of his own life, and per
formed similar actions on several subsequent
occasions. He was first destined for the priest
hood, and for many years he was under the in
structions of a Roman Catholic tutor named
Giovanni. The over-severity of this training
probably disgusted him with the profession, for
we find that be refused in Vie strongest terms
to enter it, and to avoid doing so even attempted
to run away. The study of the la w was then
proposed, but with no better success, and ulti
mately he was allowed to follow his own choice
of the eea.
His second voyage was to Rome, where the
condition of that city led him to adopt the
revolutionary views which caused him to be
exiled from Italy in February, 1834. lie then
went to Marseilles and made voyages to various
ports for a living. At one time he was left sick
at Constantinople, and there became a teacher
in order to gain means to return. On his re
turn to Marseilles he embarked for Tunis and
from thence for Rio Janeiro, where he entered
into a business partnership with Rosetti, but
only to find that Heither were suited for
mercantile life. On the solicitation of
Zambeccari he espoused the cause of the
republic of Uruguay, then fighting for inde
pendence, and in its behalf took part in several
naval engagements. In one he received a gun
Bhot wound in the neck that proved nearly
fatal. While in a precarious condition he
landed on neutral soil and found himself a pri
soner. On attempting to escape he was recap
tured and was tortured in order to obtain the
names of those who had favored his flight. He
afterwards managed to reach Montevideo, and
from thence returned to Uruguay, where, with
a land expedition, he greatly distinguished
himself. He took the side of this country
until the close of the war, when he
married Anita, a South American woman of
great energy and devotion. By her he had two
sons, Menottl and Ricclottl by name, both
of whom have figured , conspicuously in his
revolutionary enterprises. He taught mathe
matics for a time in Montevideo after his mar
riage, but when Rosas, the Dictator of Buenos
Ayres, declared war against the Uruguayan Re
public, he again embraced its cause, and at the
head of an Italian legion of 800 men fought the
battle of Salto Saut' Antonio.
When Pius IX was elevated to the Papacy, in
1847, Garibaldi left South America with a por
tion of the Italian legion. Charles Albert, the
King of Sardinia, declined his services, where
upon he tendered them to the provisional gov
ernment of Rome. He was received with great
enthusiasm, and was in the thick of the figb.
during the French campaign against the revolu
tionary government, which resulted in the cap
tare ot Rome on Jane 80, 1849. Garibaldi fled
from the city, pursued by French and Austrians,
and for some time contrived to keep
together a small force. In August,
he endeavored to make his way into Venice,
then blockaded, but his fleet of fishing-boats, in
which were about 290 of his adherents, was dls
peried, many of them being captured. Gari
baldi managed to reach the shore with his wite
and a few companions. His wife, worn out
with fatigue and refusing to leave his side, died
two days afterwards, leaving him oppressed
with grief. He made bis way across Italy to
the Mediterranean coast, but was captured in
Sardinia, and sent to Genoa in a short lime.
In the cummer of 1850 be arrived in New
York, declined a public reception, and settled
down on Staten Island as a manufacturer of
soap and candles. He afterwards made seve'
ral voyages in the Pacific, and in 1854 accepted
an invitation to return to Nice,' bat subse
quently settled on the island of Caprera, where
he engaged in farming with much success.
At the outbreak of the war of 1859, he orga
nized a body of volunteers called Alpine Chas
seurs, consisting of 17,000 men, and with these
he engaged, in company with the Sardinian
generals, at Varese, Camerlata, Como, Brescia,
Magenta. Montebello, Solferlno, etc., and gained
decisive victories over the Austrians. Having
raised a small army for the liberation of South
ern Italy from the domination of the Bourbon
King of Naples, he landed at Marsala, in Sicily,
la May, 1800. He speedily, took Palermo and
Messlnl, and crossing to the mainland in
August, occupied the city of Naples about the
eighth of September. His army, reinforced by
Boaoy Liberals of. Southern Italy, defeated the
'troops of i King Francis in October, 1800, and
expelled him from the country, which was soon
fur annexed to the kingdom of Italy. Garl-
b444 afterwards jetled lo, his home In tie
ittivi o I'aprtra.
In April, W'2, he was appointed Gcneral-ln-Chief
of the Italian National Guard. In the
cummer of 1863 he engaged in an enterprise
which was disapproved by the Italian Govern
ment, and came into collision with the royal
troops at Aspromonte, where he was wounded
in the foot and taken prisoner.
He visited England in 18t54, and was received
with great enthusiasm. He fought against the
Austrians in the short war of 1800, at the head
of a corps of volunteers; but the hostilities were
ended by a truce before he came to any deci
sive action.
The war of 1806 resulted in the union of all
Italy except the remnant of the Papal SUtcs
under the sceptre of Victor Emanuel. Gari
baldi and his adherents were not content, and
soon after his retirement to Caprera he com
menced his intrigues for an assault on Rome.
The movement was at first fixed for June, 1807
and volunteers had begun to assemble in large
cumbers, but the precautionary measures taken
by the Italian Government Induced him to post
pone it. During July and August Garibaldi
travelled extensively through the northern por
tion of Italy, inflaming the people by speeches
and making occasional demonstrations in favor
of the contemplated expedition. On September
4 he lelt Bologna for Geneva, where
he attended the Peace Congress. The journey
thither was a mere leint, for while he was at
Genoa his son Menottl was preparing In Naples
for an Immediate invasion of the Papal pro
vinces. Garibaldi left Geneva to place himself
at the head of the expedition. Before he reached
the Papal frontier he was arrested by order of
the Italian Government, and after a brief im
prisonment sent under guard to his
island home at Caprera. He
soon escaped, however, and this
time made his way into the Papal country and
placed himself at the head of the volunteers
which had been collected by his son. On the
3d of November he encountered the Papal Zou
aves, supported by a small French force, at
Mentana, a few miles from Rome, where the
Invasion was brought to an inglorious termina
tion after a short but decisive contest. This ill
advised attempt on the part of the Garibaldlan
party to seize Rome seriously complicated the
Italian Government, but its defeat once more
permitted the consolidation of Italy to proceed.
Since the affair at Mentana he has been com
paratively quiet, but has been repeatedly en
gaged in intrigues for the seizure of Rome, and
has been under the surveillance of the Italian
Government a great part of the time. The
recent movement of the Italians upon Rome
was so sudden and summary that he was pre
vented from participating in it, or, what would
doubtless have been much more to his liking,
of heading a republican expedition against the
city as soon as Its evacuation by the French
gave a show of ultimate success. The
Italian Government blockaded him in
Caprera, ostensibly to prevent him
from going to France to engage in the service
of the republic, in behalf of which he issued, on
September 7, a short manifesto to his compa
triots. After the entry of Rome was completed,
however, he was suffered to escape from Ca
prera, and arrived at Marseilles on October 7.
Here he was enthusiastically received. He
Immediately pushed forward to Tours, where
another enthusiastic welcome awaited him,
and where bis arrival on the 8th was an
nounced in last night's cable telegram. To a
small battalion of sharp-shooters whom he re
viewed soon after his arrival, he made a speech,
In which he 6ald: "We shall meet again on the
battle-field, to rid France of the invader." It
is possible; and it is also possible, although
scarcely probable, that the great revolutionary
hero of two Hemispheres may become the man
around whom France will at last rally in her
dire strait.
ROME.
Letter ef Victor Emanuel to Plus IX.
The Italian journals publish the following let
ter, addressed by King Victor Emanuel to the
Pope, and sent to his Holiness by Count Ponza
di SanMartino:
Most Holy Fathir: With the affection of a son,
with the faith of a Catholic, with the loyalty of a
king, with the sentiment or aa Italian, I address my
self again, as I have done formerly, to the heart of
your Holiness.
A storm full of perils threatens Europe. Favored
by the war wblcn desolates the centre of the Conti
nent, the party of the cosmopolitan revolution in
creases in courage and audacity, and is preparing to
strike, especially In Italy and In the provinces gov
erned by your Holiness, the last blows at the monar
chy and the Papacy.
I know, most Uoly Father, that the greatness of
your soul iwould not fall below the greatness of
events, but for me, a Catholic King and an Italian
Blng, and as such guardian and surety by the dis
pensation of Divine Provtdeuce and by the will of
tbe nation and of the destinies of all Italians, I feel
the duty of taiiug, in face of Europe and of Catho
licity, the responsibility of maintaining order in the
peninsula, and tbe security of tbe Holy See.
Now, most Holy Father, the state of mind of the
populations governed by your Holiness, and the
presence among them of foreign troops coming
from different places with different Intentions, are
a source of agitation and of perils evident to all.
Chance or the effervescence of passions may lead to
violence and to an effusion of blood, which It Is my
duty and yours, most Holy father, to avoid and
prevent
I see the indefeasible necessity for the security of
Italy and the Holy See that my troops already
guarding the frontiers should advance and occupy
tbe positions which shall be Indispensable to the
security of your Holiness and to tho maintenance of
order.
Your Iloliness will not see a hostile act In this
measure of precaution. My Government and my
forces will restrict themselves absolutely to an
action conservative and tutelary of the rights,
easily reconcilable, of the Roman populations with
tbe inviolability of the Sovereign Pontiff and of bis
spiritual authority, and with the independence of
the Holy See.
If your Holtnew, as I do not doubt, and as your
sacied character and the goodness of your soul give
me tbe right to hope, is inspired with a wish equal
to mine of avoiding all conflict and escaping the
danger of violence, you will be able to take, with
the Count Ponea dl Kan Martino, who presents you
this letter, and who is furnished with the necessary
Instructions by my Oovernment, those measures
which shall best conduce to the desired end.
Will your Holiness permit me to hope still that the
nresent moment, as solemn for Italy an fur the
t bnrch and for the Papacy, will give occasion to
the exercise of that spirit of benevolence which has
never been extinguished In your heart towards this
land, which Is sUo your own country, and of those
sentiments of conciliation which 1 have always stu
died with an indefatigable perseverance to trauslate
Into acts, In order that while satts'ylng the national
aspirations tbe Chief of Catholicity, surrounded by
tbe devotion of the Italian populations, might pre
serve on the banks of the Tiber a glorious seat inde
pendent or an human sovereignty?
Your Holiness, in delivering Rome from the
f oreioTi trooiM. in freelnr it from the continual nrll
of being the .battle-Held of subversive parties, will
have accomplished a marvellous work, given peace
to the Church, and shown to Eirops, suecked by
the horrors of war; how great battles can be won
and Immortal victories achieved by an act of justice
and by a single word of aflection. f
1 tag your Holiness to bestow upon wie your
Apostolic benedlotlon, and I Knew to your Holiness
me expression ox my proroune respect, your Holi
ness' most humble, most obedient, and most devoted
t iivretce, Stpt. 6, isjo.
THE BOURKOSS.
The Ccmte de Chmnbord Claims the Throne,
Tha PL are de Loire publishes the following
letter, which, it asserts, has been written aud
distributed by the Coum de (Jhambord:
Monselgneur is greatly affected by the situa
tion of France. He follows with anxious solid
lude the disastrous events which have brought
the enemy before Paris, and now his bosom
swells with the thought tbat It is perhaps to
him, with Providence for his help, that should
be confided the honor of saving our unhappy
country.
The French Monarchy, of which Monselgneur
is the heir, and which Is resumed In his person,
has done great things In days past, and more
than once has saved France.
Monselgneur is convinced that this noble task
is now his, and that to-day, as ever, right will
triumph over might. He is, therefore, about'to
devote himself to this great work with all tbe
prudence and enerey which the circumstances
require, and he calls upon his friends to accord
him their devo ed assistance.
The cause of monarchy is now what it ha
always been the cause of France herself.
Many have given It to events, to Interest, and
influence, and other considerations. But now
we have light. Revolution, whatever its form,
has never given peace, security, or liberty to
tho country. From the beginning 6he has
always oscillated between anarchy and despot
ism, and to-day, for the third time, her sacred
soil is invaded and defiled by the foreigner.
Monselgneur savs, therefore, to all,
"Do not be disquieted, but hope. On the proper
occasion I will present myself. On the day
when France will have need of me, for whatever
Eurpose, I ehall be there. For forty years I
ave shown tbat I have not cared for power,
but I have always cherished in my heart the
love of France, and my devotion will always
keep on a level with my duty.'
The oath is abolished, and consequently he
can say that to his friends which he could not
say before. Monselgneur earnestly calls upon
them to avail themselves of the electoral func
tions, to become members of the communal and
departmental councils, mayors, adjuncts, etc.,
in order to be present everywhere where they
ma;' advance the moral and material interests
of the country.
In a few days a constituent assembly is to be
elected. Will it be able to meet and do its
work in the midst of the dangers and, peraaps,
disasters of the country? It is neces
sary, then, for the safety of our country that all
parties set aside their indecision and suscepti
bility and come to us, because we represent
right, truth, and justice. It Is necessary that
all those Frenchmen who have bowed the head
to circumstances, and to the ephemeral powers
which have owed their existence to circum
stances, should at lastS recognize the hereditary
monarchy Is now the only haven In which they
can find peace, honor, and security.
The empire has delivered us over to the
foreigner; the republic is impotent in the pre
sence of so great a disaster, and besides, she
alarms by her doctrines and exaggerations.
There remains, then, hereditary traditional
monarchy, which, In unison with the whole
country; will hunt the Invaders from our soil or
obtain from them an honorable peace, which
peace will be sincere and lasting, inasmuch as
it will preserve intact both the honor and terri
tory of France.
Monsignear presents these reflections to the
consideration of all his friends, and earnestly
requests them to conform to these instructions
In all those provinces where they have the right
to count on success.
Confidence, devotion, and firmness ! God will
do tbe rest!

Wanton Aisnult upon a Nohool Teacher with
Stones ratal ueauit.
The Boston Traveller has the following: The
usually quiet town of Canton, in Norfolk county,
was thrown into a state oi excitement last
Wednesday, in consequence of an attack on a
female school teacher, Etta K. Barstow by
name, by four school boys, with stones, which
resulted in her death. The circumstances of the
case are as follows:
It appears that the school in the Pleasant
street district, No. 5, has been a hard school to
manage, and that the previous teacher, a robust
and stout woman, carried on the school with a
measure of success, but gave It up on account
of the small remuneration, or for some other
good reason. Miss Barstow, ambitious to teach
school, and who, by-the-way, was out of health,
and was hardly fitted physically for the place,
undertook to teach the school. Evevythlng
passed off very well until hist Wednesday, when
at noon, and at the recess. Miss Bar6tow "rung
in" the scholars, but some of them refused to
return to the school-room. She then turned
the key in the door, shutting the delinquents
out, who immediately commenced to throw
stones through the window.
When the dinner hour arrived Miss Barstow
started for her boarding-house, kept by Mrs.
Bates; and while on her way there four boys,
named respectively John Coffee, eleven years of
age; James Cogswell, thirteen; Daniel Keliher,
nine, and Jeremiah Keliher, eleven, brothers,
commenced to stone their teacher. One of the
missiles, the size of a common inkstand, hit the
teacher on the neck, just below the ear, and
another stone struck her on the back, which
caused her to stagger, when the rascals twitted
her of being drunk. The poor girl finally
managed to get to the house, and entering It
she threw herself on a lounge, remarking to
Mrs. Bates, "Those awful boys have been ston
ing me."
Finally Miss Barstow started for the train to
go to Boston, and it was with a great effort that
she reached the cars, having required the assist
ance of a lady friend to place her in a seat, and
wno Kepi tne Kin awake during tne passage.
Upon the arrival of the train in Boston, friends
also saw her safely placed in a carriage, and
tne gin arrived at tne place ot ner destination.
but only to die, which occurred on the follow
ing a ay.
A post mortem examination is being made
in the case, and it Is probable that the
Grand Jury of Norfolk county will find a bill
against tne boys tor manslaughter.
THE COTTOS CROP.
The Hupplv Behind-Why It Is So.
The New Orleans Times says: "The receipts
of cotton at this port lag behind those of last
year at least 10,000 bales. This, with every
prospect of a larger crop than that of last sea
son, Is due to various very apparent causes.
First, we have tbe remarkably favorable pick
ing sason, wnicn lias Kept au tne disposable
labor In the fields. There never was before so
early snd prolific an opening of the bolls. The
fields never appeared so weiite at these dates.
ine laoor is not equal to tne aemanu tor pick
ers. and the freedmen have not yet recovered
from the influences which keep so many in their
quarters, while the ripened crop is exposed
to lots and - destruction from storm and
rain. 1 This, sow, is the great peril which may
reduce greatly the estimates of the general yield.
The weather has been unusually dry and hot for
a lone- enell. . A sudden storm and severe rain
would blow down and destroy a vast amount of
this valuable product. There is no time, there
fore, xor pressing ant baling, Everybody v the
field! It Is a pity that this call is not promptly
responded toLvaJl who can pick... Too manv
able-bodied freedwomon, who have been brought
up to this labor, prefer lounging qnd playing
lady about their cabins to turning out in the
dew and sun to earn good wages and better
neaiw man tney can ever nave from their idle
and slattern habits in quarters. This is the
great discount upon our cotton productions, . the
capacity of production is only limited by the
amount of labor. Tbe withdrawal of the stout
utile- bodied women from the fields Is a. lots kl
vi.t-ii-.TU, at iutt, ol the realizable crop."

FROM WASHINGTON.
Our Neutrality Laws.
Dtspatcli to tht Associated Press.
Washington, Oct. 10. Some of the news
papers have asserted that the President's recent
proclamation was issued on account of the con
duct of the steamer La Toucbe Trevllle towards
German vessels, but it is known in Washington
that Admiral Lefoie, commanding the chief
division of the Antilles and North America, has
never sought, as alleged, to establish a species of
blockade in American waters. The vessels of
his division, it is officially known, harbored in
New York only because of damage by a storm
to w hich they had been exposed. This is the
sole reason for their detention on this coast.
The Admiral gave strict orders to the captain
of the La Touche Trevllle to do nothing but
convey the French Transportation company's
packets to a convenient distance to sea and re
turn immediately to New York without making
a visit to any suspected vessel, or doing any
thing whatever to excite public suspicion of an
intention to violate our neutrality laws.

CHARTERED CRUELTY.
Horrible Treatment of a (Uonvlct In the Con
necticut mate Prison Confined la an Iroa
Cane to Die or Go Craay.
From ths Hartford CouranU
Alvln P. Hyde and David 8. Calhoun, counsel
for the murderer Wilson during tho recent trial,
visited the State PrUon recently to ascertain
what disposition had been made of the pri
soner. They had supposed that he was not to
be placed in the iron cage or cell which was
recently constructed by Pitkin Brothers of this
city. A reporter had an interview with Mr.
Hyde, after his return from the prison, and
obtained from him substantially the following
staKment:
MR. HYDE'S STATEMENT.
Mr. Calhoun and myself undertook tho defense of
Wilson because the court assigned ns to that duty.
It was not of our seeking, as you know. We went
down to see him to-day to ascertain exactly In what
situation he was placed. We Insisted that we were
bis counsel and had a right to sen him, and finally
were taken to where he Is confined, lie Is In tint
Iron cage which is six or eight feet long and about
four feet wide. It Is in that part of the prison
where the dungeons are where no one ever
passes, except a keeper goes there to feed a
prisoner. There are two grated doors fine
prates which shut out much of the light lhat
tomes Into the hall. It is about like twlllgtit in the
ceil at midday ; a man with good eyes and large print
before him might be able to read. In the cell there
Is no furniture except a sheet-iron bedstead. The
tcell Is raised np from the floor so that a bastet can
u pHBBeu uuuci iii uu iciuuvcu wnauui opening tne
doors, there being a hole In the bottom of the celL
In the loner door is a small door which locko, and
through this rations are passed to the prisoner. The
whole arrangement U such that the lnuer door need
never be opened, and It looks If that was the design
to keep Wilson there In that cage as If It were
permauentiy closed. The filth and stench of tne
place are unendurable. A man must have a strong
stomach to remain there ten minutes without suffer
ing from the effects of the foul smell. It is abomi
nable and a disgrace. One would think the
man was put there t" die. So disgusting
is the place that Wilson had not tasted a morsel of
food or even had a drop of water pass bis lips since
he was taken there 1 No man can endure such
treatment, and Wilson must surely do one of two
things, die or go crazy. It is impossible for htm to
live t here. Look at It. lie Is virtually In solitary
confinement. Excepting that the cell is not dark
ened, he is In a dungeon. No one will see htm, as
none pass that way. He has nothing to occupy his
time. No books, not even a Bible, are furnished for
his use. It looks as If he was put there to die 1 But
this isn't all. He has had his shoes taken away.
Both of his feet are cut otv at the instep. Whenhehas
hlB shoes on their stllf soles make artificial balls for
his feet so that he can walk, but without shoes be
Is always helpless. They supposed, probably, that If
he was allowed to wear his shoes he would imme
diately walk out of that boller-lron cage I There he
stood where we all saw him, in his stocking-feet, his
feet being sore, and was even unable to stand with
ont holding on to the bars of his cell. The Deputy
Warden said it was none of his doings treating the
man so, and we inquired who had done it, and he
said the directors gave tbe orders. When we passed
out we found Mr. Lee, one of the directors, In the
office, and spoke to him about It. He said he had
given no oruer, out tnat tne order was given ar the
other director, Beaumont we didn't see uimThut I
made np my blind decidedly tbat this thing should be
corrected. I have no interest in this matter further
than seeing a prisoner properly treated. I don't
wish It to be understood that I am making any war
fare on the prison, bnt I am willing to take the re
sponsibility of saving that the treatment of Wilson
is innnman contrary to wnat tne law intends and
all I ask is that this evil shall be corrected . If it Is
not corrected there will be a full investigation. I
am satisfied there Is bad management there. I know
that many things which Wilson said are true, and It
Is a pity that the facts could not have been shown .
The papers have generally defended the prison
management, but I have letters In my possession
which will prove tbat there ought at least to be an
investigation.
OBITUARY.
Captain John Jourrian, Superintendent of the
New York Metropolitan Police.
A private despatch from New York announces
that Captain John Jourdan, the Superintendent of
the Metropolitan Tollce of New York city, died there
ibis morning.
Captain Jourdan was born in New York on Janu
ary 6, 1881. After receiving a good common school
education, be entered the mailing department of
the New York Jlerald office at the age of eleven.
Subsequently be held a similar position on tbe New
York Sun, and at the age of seventeen transferred
himself to the folding-room of the New York Tri
bune, of which be became foreman In due
time. In 1855 be was appointed a patrol
man of the Municipal Police, aud
served until the Metropolitan Polioe was organized
He followed the fortunes ot Mayor Wood, refusing
to join tbe new force.- On October 11, 1853, he was
appointed a patrolman of tbe Metropolitan Police,
and on April 84, 1860, was 'made a Sergeant, and on
January 81, 1863, was promoted Captain, succeeding
Joseph Dowllng, who bad been appointed a Police
Justice. All of this time be bad served in the Sixth
precinct. On the 11th of April last Captain Jourdan
was appointed Superintendent, to fill the vacancy
occasioned by the resignation of John A. Kenned r.
His promotion to the supenntendeacy was In ac
cordance witu tne arrangement ey wniun tne 1'ollce
Commission was to consist of two Republicans and
two Democrats, with a Democrat as Sunerinten.
dent Of bis management of the police force since-
bis appointment tne Trmme 01 this morning says:
When Superintendent Jourdan was appointed In
A or 11 last be introduced a number of chaotres into
the force, and In seeing them carried Into effect
overtaxed bis strength. For several weeks after
his appointment he worked from sixteen to eigh
teen hours daily, often remaining out nntll S or 4
o'clock A. M., calling at station-houses at unex
pected times, and ascertaining bow police duty was
Performed In the various precincts. The Irish faction
aht on July 13 was a source of great an.xletv to
him, as be believed that It should have been pre-
venteu oj me puuee up town oeiore it nau uecome
so terrible an affray.
Following this came the Nathon murder, and the
extra exertions put forth by the Superintendent
completed the wreck of his system. He was finally
compelled to succumb, and was for several days con
fined to his bed by Illness. By advice of his phy
sicians he went to Saratoga, in order to try the
benefit of rest and recreation, and after an absence
of two weeks, came back, feellnar somewhat bettor
Since then be has had short Intervals of better
health, and has occasionally visited police Head
quarters, un inarsaay last ne was again confined
to ins oeu, anu since men ne nas oeen steadily de
clInlDtr.
Superintendent Jourdan bore the reputation of
Deingone oi tne oest aetecuve omcers lu the coun
try, he having worked up some of the most difficult
robbery cases that ever taxed the lnirenultv of an
officer. Prominent among these are the Bowdoln
ham (X. 11.) Bauk robbery, where he secured the
thieves and recovered over 200,O0O, nearly alt the
amount suiieu ; me uoru oona roobery, wnere, al
though the thieves were arrested, the proef was not
sumcieni to uom mem, anu a large number of cases
of minor Importance.
In the present state of political affairs in New
York, it will be difficult to supply Superintendent
Jourdan 's place Ith one who was as honest, zeal
ous, and industrious as he was.
