PITTSBURGH AS IT Is. Shortcomings and Needed Reforms. the police—their iksuffipiescv in point f>F NI'MIIKHS AND BAD DISTKI BUTION THROI’GH THE CITY UNIFORMS. We have resided in this Iron City for & iliort lifetime, and aro not without a due ap preciation of and proper pride in the substan tial prosperity and hard-earned wealth of the community, and even the soot)' appearance of our buildings, and the clouds of smoke which darken our atmosphere, both of which are but indications of that wealth and prosperity, and an index of their source. Like every good citizen, wo have warmly defended our city abroad ; when told that Pittsburgh was black we have proven it to be a blessing by the fact that our sulphurous atmosphere was a preven tive of many diseases, and also that ours is <ne of the healthiest cities in the world : when the din of our manufactories was made the objection we proudly talked of the bum of industry; when tbo penuriousness of our people was alluded to, we recalled the munifi cent donations made by our citizens to every worthy charily, exceeding all others, in pro portion to our population ; wbt?n our lack of fine public buildings was tbo theme, we have pointed to the lino scenery which environs us ; when taunted with being unfashionable and ••out of tbo world, ’’ as a city, we directed at tention to our ladiese, whose dresses are plain and unostentatious, "neat but not gaudy, better than the gold and tinsel which deoorate the Flora McFliinseys of tbo’ South and Kast; when it was said that our citizens were 100 much engaged in business and absorbed in speculations to exercise the social qualities, we ba\o shown the genuine hospitality and un biased friendsbp always extended to the stranger, and the courtesies he meeLs with at every step. This was all proper enough, but we do confess to some qualms of conscience in having endeavored to prove, both in our private capacity ai.d as a public journalist, that our city was as well regulated and governed as it should be. We know that we have, in consequence of this pride of nativity, con -ce&led some things which it might have been better for the public to know, and unduly ex lolled some persons and things, not so great or important of themselves, merely because this might add to the prealigr of our city abroad For ail this we are truly penitent, and For the purpose of quieting our twinges of conscience we are determined ic pursue a different course henceforth, and when reform or amendment is needed to speak out boldly as a cconservator of the public good i. J in duty bound to do, and demand it. That relorm in needed in many particulars, all who look about them must soe and know—therefore concealment is idle, and we propose to show wherein we have fallen short, and where changes would be beneficial. This we shall do m u series of articles, pub lished from time to time, as circumnancoß de mand. At* will be imagined from our beading the first subject to which we wish to call attention i§ tha insufficiency of the police force of our city, its*want o? proper discipline, improper distribution amongst the various ward*, ab* •once of distinctive uniform, <&c. And first a 3 to the number of men corapris iqg the police force of Pittsburgh, concerning which we will q&y in advance that there is no city of its size that has not at least two or three times as many guardians of its citizens and : properly. The whole constabulary lorco of our oily embraces, in all, not than sixty aix men, divided about thus: Mayor Wilson’s chief of the d«y police, six active constables, and one “ordinance man,” on half pay, old, most imbecile, slow and inefficient—about as good as a “wooden man ; ” one captain of tne 1 night walcb, four lieutenants and thirty-five night watchmen ; nine regularly elected con* stables, one for each ward of the city,and about as many special constables, kept by the Alder men—some of whom have two, others none. We think the whole force will not exceed aixty-six—twenty-six for the day and forty for the night. As to the efficiency of tho night .watch or the Mayor’s day police we have no special complaints for the present, but some of the ward constables are of no use save to arrest and convey lo prison, occasionalfy, some unfor tunate inebriate or vagrant. Vet, supposing the whole twenty*six were active, tfocieni policemen, is it to be expected that they could keep a proper watch over 50,000 people and 7,GOu houses—an average of rtOO houses and 2,000 people to each constable 7 In this church-going com munity the number of rogues is, of course, proportionately small, but wo do not believe they bear the same disproportion to the number in other cities as does our police force to that uf Cincinnati, Fhilalelphia, Bos ton, Baltimore, St. Louis, Chicago, Now Orleans, or Louisville, leaving out New York, where the police have become apolitical power and necessity. And so with the night watch, it is simply absurd that one man should be expected to guard 1,2*50 people in 190 houses, from the depredations of the burglar, the incen diary, the assassin, and the thief. Yet such is the tact, and so it has been for years. What a great degree of confidence in the character of our citizens do tho-city fathers exhibit in leav ing- their movements so comparatively free from observation! We who live in the heart of the city, pur suing our daily and nightly avocations, do not tee this disparity of numbers above referred to as much as those who live in the remote wards. Very injudiciously, to our mind, the great bulk of the night watch are kept in the thickly populated part of the ciiy, and the thinly set tled districts, such as the Seventh, Eighth, Ninth, and parUof tho First, Fourth and Sixth Wards, where the house*, being further apart, •are more exposed and their inhabitants more in danger, are left comparatively unprotected. In the three wards first named there are but .five watchmen, and one watchmen in the city has a beat nearly a mile around. Now we do not believe that such an arrangement would permit any man, however faithful and effi cient, to watch over the security of the lives and property of as many people as are necessa rily under his charge. And yet the Finance Committee of Councils, when making the ap propriation ordinance, refused to report in tavor of a few additional watchmen for these thinly Bottled districts. Here, we think, is a matter which demands attention, and speedy aad permanent reform. With the day police, evils of a like character exist. As we have stated, the Mayor has under his control eight men. W hen a murder,. a series of burglaries, or any great outrages has b'iOQ committed,his officers are very active and energetic, but their limited number curtails, in a great degree, their usefulness. It is, on such occasions, frequently necessary that numerous localities in the city should be visited and searched simultaneously, and as our policemen allways go in pairs it will be Been that only (our places can be searched at once, more par* ticularly as the services of the ward policemen are seldom, if ever, desired on these occasions. Under these circumstances it is astonishing that so many prompt arrests are made by the Mayor’s police, when criminals have so wide and unwatched a field and such unlimited ops portunities for escape. And again, when the police are off on duty, in these emergencies, the Mayor is frequently left without a single officer to Bend out and make an arrest when an information is made, even though the parly could be at once secured, and he, 100, escapes. In answer to this it might be uiged that our police are so expert that they generally had VWV . .*»« - •* ■*.

But this is not what is needed. We want a preventive a* well as a detective police. “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure,” and it would bo far Letter if we had a force that’Wuuld prevent the perpetration of Crimea than that those wo have should bo em ployed in seeking out criminals, who, when arrested, aaddle the city and county with costs. The usefulness of the ward constables is in a great degree impaired by their jealousy of each other and the Mayor's police that exists among them, and hence it is but seldom they effect any important arrests In some few instan ces we have ‘known them to act in conjunc tion with the Mayor’s police, but this has generally been when some Alderman received the first information of a crime which after wards came to the knowledge of the Mayor. In this particular there are many improve ments demanded. In the first place we should have at least one handred and twenty five policemen for tho protection ot the city and the enforcement of tho ordinances. They should be employed at a staled salary and re ceive no additional fee for arrests or commit ments, stimulated to extraordinary exertion only by an ocoasional reward offered for the arrest of some great criminal. Both day and night police should wear uniform to distinguish them from ordinary citizens, with designating marks or numbers so that any dereliction of duty could be at once reported to the control ling power. There should be no distinction between day and night police, they being re quired to servo a» both alternately. Seventy five policemen should be kept on duty at night and fifty in day time. One policemen to each Alderman, making two to each Ward, should be detailed by the Mu) or (who ought to be the governing power, through a chief of police and one or two deputies) and placed under control of the magistrates for a week or a month at a lime, when the officer should be changed. The remaining thirty two officers should be distributed through tuo city, (with the exception of hair, who should, alternating as the c-lhors, bo kepi aUout tho office, to an swor calls from any quarter or to carry ord -rs to the officers of auy district) f. r the purpose of enforcing the city ordinances and being constantly o" the alert fur offenders. This arrangement would, in course of time, famil iariz » every policeman with the entire city, by day and by night, and prevent an v collusion between 0110-er.- and such as offend against the laws, and airo the exercise of any ftvoritisui on the part of officer- toward those with whom they may be v»n good terms. Wo repeat that it is imp-*»sible for our present police force, as now orgamz-vl, to guard the city properly, and that it will require not lew than the number mentioned to di so With tho cutting off of all perquisites we are of opinion that the expense Wv uld n*-t be very materially increased with tho additional num ber, as the lightening of the duties of officers would have iho effect of creating a willingness to servo at a smaller compensation than is now given. Every one must admit that a reform in this direction has b«>our::o a matter of no»-e»ilty and that the sooner it is cotuineu.-i-d the t eller. All good cilixMis shi uld tuaKo it their bus. ness to urge a change upon those who legislate lor the city.

The particulars, SB detailed in the Sentinel, are as follows: ,s)mu time be* tweon the hours of 7 and 8 o'clock on that evening, two men came to the house and ask ed for admission. There were, at the time, three persons in the house, Mr. Auker, an old lady who acted a-* housekeeper, and a grand daughter of Mr. Auker, aged about 14 yoars. Mr. Aukor and the old lady had retired.— Wbon the two men knocked at the door, the girl went to her grand father and told him that two men desired the house. Mr. Auker told the girl to admit lhr#t. As soon as they outared, one sat on the wood b«.x near the stove, and the other sat on a chair near the door at which they entered. They then Inquired of the girl who were in the house, wno told thorn, but said they were both in bed. They tbon told her that they wished to see Mr. Auker, who got up and came into the room. Alter conversing with them on various topics for about, fifteen minutes, he asked them what they wanted. Thu largo man told him that they wanted bis tznonoy. Mr. Aukor to'd them that there was not slu in the bouse, and that they might search if they de sired to. H’t thun gut up and wont to the dt>or leading to his bed room, over which bung his rill *. id >3 opened the door and reacho-i for his gun, and as soon as be got it in his posses sion, tbo tall man wont up to h.m and shot hitn with a pi&tol through iko arm, near tiao c-iOow. Failing to prostrate him with the p.s tol, ho drew Irom under his garments h hatch et, and ftruck him throe times on the head, which caua<‘d him to fall on the Hour m an in sensible cuuaition. The rullians, as if alarmed at their own work, immediately fled, without making any search for what tb<*y canio alter. Tno little g>rl ran at once to the nearest neigh bor'd and gave the alarm, and soon the whole neighborhood was apprised of the atrocious murder Mr. Auker uled in about an h.fur and a half alter receiving the injury, without being able to speAk a word.

Yesterday morning, hUmt f»ur o'clock, fbur men named Frank Otiis, Milton Davis, S*ll and Frederick Vile visited the bakejjp of Franz Nibel, on Penn street, in the Fif|n Ward, and demanded b jido bread. As they Bad no money, tho baker refused to furnish them with the “staff of life,” and i*no of the men, Prank <>;tig, committed sn asnault and battery upon tho baker. The wrioie party was arrested by the night police and locked up. It eatjpcquently appeared that they had rolled ft barrel of cider from a store during the night, and having plenty to drink they determined also to get something to eat, without the trouble of paying for it. Ottis was committed to jail for assault and battery, and tho other three wore sent up in default of tino for disorderly conduct. Subsequently commitments wero lodged against Ottis and Davis, by Alderman Taylor, on complaint of Christopher Lyons, who charges them with the larceny of & quantity of fancy soap, which was taken from his store on tho night of tho firo at Kelly & Glass’ board yard, on Duquesne Way.

LjtTEHT .R.IRRET REPORTS. &c., &c., &c„ &c., Wasiiinotom City, March 16 —Senate.— Ur 'Mason, of V*., offered the following pre amble and resolution : Whereas, Tbe presence of a military force concentrated and permanently quartered at the seat of government is a departure from all ■ormer u*age of the government, and danger* >us to the rights and liberties of the people, therefore, }>,■ it lUsohal, That the President be re quested to inform the Senato what number of troops of tbe army are quarte r ed in this city; the respective arms of the service, and the I purpose f*r which they were brought here, Hid further to inform the Sedate wfcbn 1 the aid troop» are to be withdrawn, and If they »re not to be withdrawn for what purpose they tre maintained hero, and whether it is his -«.-»’•> o to increase the said force and to what extent. Tlc consideration of the resolution being jLjocted to it was laid over. Mr. Douglas’ resolutions of inquiry were then taki.n up. In the course of debate on the resolution of Senator Douglas, words of a personal character passed between Mr. Douglas and Messrs. IfiTil •ton, Fessenden, and Hale, which led to a se rious quarrel between Messrs. Douglas and Fessenden. At the close, Mr. Fessenden said □e did not know whether Mr. Douglas held to the code of honor ? Mr. Douglas said Mr. Fessenden would be informed when he made inquiry in tho proper way, Mr. Fessenden said that Mr. Douglas’s cour *go was well known, but he need not be fear* ful. lie would send him a challenge, or words to this effect. Mr. Hsle said be recognized a position of the Senator from Illinois as intended for himself. He found already prepared for him a luilo speech to bo found in an old book, fifteenth chapter* second Samuel and fourth verse. This speech be preferred to his own crude ideas. Mr. Douglas presumed that the quotation would have great weight. It only showed that it was read to avoid argument, and to mako a personal attack upon him. Hence ho would say ; Come on; make attack after attack ; gc-t your quotations in advance, I am ready to meet you. The Senator from Massa chusetts led offin a miserable personal attack ; the Senator from Maine followed, and then the Senator from Hew Hampshire came in with what he called a written speech. I expect to give these gentlemen some trouble during the cession. I know their schemes. I do not mean that they shall break up the Union and draw tho country into war. (Applause in tne galleries.) A Ssnator suggested that the galleries be J&r. Douglas. As the galleries will not be quirt I wi!i £&y no moro. Ho abruptly took his seaL Tho Senate went into executive session and afterwards adjourned. Fort Kearney, March 15.—The Pony Express passed at 4 15 o'clock P. M., bringing tho following summary of news: The Chairman of the Breckinridge State Central Committee, has called a meeting of that body at Sacramento, on the 21st, to con sider the perilous crisis in our national affairs. He says: a Bet us have U nion if we can , peaceable disunion, if we must; but conflict never. If peaceable dissolution comes, why should not California remain with the Free states ; if a bloody seoaration, why should she not establish a Pacific Nationality ; is she willing to be dragged into a war against a Southern Conlederation of her sisters? Should such Confederation be irrevocably established, ought Dot she to demand of the other Free otalts to Consent >o a peaceful separation, if any must come, as an unyielding condition of her slaying with them ? Does not Lincoln’s foreshadowed policy of executing the laws in tho seceded States, imply force, coercion, war ? Are our people really Co plunge into anarchy and suffer the ravages of such a war? These are I he momontuous questions to be considered, and which it is feared will too soon require action. Therefore a full meeting is requested." Charles Lindlet, Chairman. There are no new features in the Senatorial election question before the Legislature. The Senate yesterday amended the Union resolution previously passed in the Assembly, and adopted the lollowing form bv a vote of 20 to 0, the negative votes being Republican : Resolved, That we heartily endorse the plan of settlement for the existing difficulties in the Atlantic Slates, as proposed by the Hon. J. J. Crittenden, in tho Senate of thejUnited States, January Bth, 1861, and that we condemn the use of military force to coerce the people, recommending conciliation and concession rather than war, and compromise rather than disunion. From different parts of the State the mining nows is about as usual at this season.
