Chief of Pelice Washburn's Pacccutors at Vrouk Their Plans for Briving Him from the Foree Pevelopeds An Order Issued for His Sus- penision from Duty, Dr. Ward Appointed Super- intendent Pro Tem, Klokke and Sheridan AR‘ope Reno Into Their Game. Views of the Mayor and Mr, Tuley on the Subject. Mr, Washburn Will'Appeal to the Courts To-Bay, - History of the Conspiracy Against the Chief At the time of the sppointment of Saperintend- ent Washburn to the position he occupies ab the head of the Police Department, citizens of Chicago, who had been for two years the help- Jess quarry of every description of human beast of prey, from the sncak-thief to-the saloon rongh, breathed a sigh of relief, satisfied that in Dim the Mayor kad secured s man of ability, nerve, and good sound common sense. This favorable impression grow upon the public as {he Chief continued to increase by degrees the efficiency of the police force. Thero was no un- scemly and spasmodic' movement; his plans were carefolly laid out, and each successive measure displayed decided discern~ ment on the part of the mew Buperiatendont. On accopting the appointment, Mr, Washburn's sttention was directed toward THE SUPPRESSION OF GAMBLING, which, under the lax administration of his nom- inal predecessor, bad grovn to a rankness that tainted the social atmosphere. This was the re- sult of the system of ““ no head at all,” which the Police Commissioners have uncessingly held in view while educating their ¢ Aldermanic sti- pendiaries” how not to do it. To relieve the nominal Superintendent (Kennedy) of any un- Bocessary suthority, tho Board passed an order directing the Captains of the three Police Dis- tricts to maintain order and euppross gamb- ling. Every one knows the result of this order. The gamblers saw their opportunity, snd made the very best use of it, until the daily papers ‘umited in & demand, on behalf of the respectsble part of the commaunity, that gambling shonld‘r& soppressed. ‘This was successfal, and d-": s issued an ordor. This Was effective V¥ & fort- Tight, and gambling agnin ba-—s0 3 Eafo amuse- ment.

Here wag THE SECBET TO THE OPROSITION OF THE CHIER of Pclice e exhibited by the Board, It wasan innovation,—an infringement upon their eacred rights ; an insult to their suthority. It wasin- solence. It must bo atoned for. Mr. Washburn must be checked, or he would run the Depart- ment on his own responsibility, and then what would the Board have todo? They formoeda combination sgainst him,Mr. Talcott alone half favoring him, The two other Commissionors were determined to nip” this assumption of au- thority in the early bud, and sent for Mr. Wash- ‘burn. They 3 TREATED HIM WITH ICY POLITENESS, -avd inquired what he meant byit. Theyused every device to intimidate him; they cantioned him not to repeat so grave an error, and if they did not threaten him, it was because they were aware that they were responsible to a higher suthority. Mr. Washburn stood his ‘ground with commendsble patience and good temper. He teld them he knew hisduty. Hewas a sworn oficer of the law, end would, if he conld, ex- terminate gambling, tho ill-will of the Boxrd to the contrary notwithstanding. Ho kept his promiss, sod the inde- fensible, not to eay preposterous, sction of the Board brought down upon them the indig- nation of the public, 8o clearly manifested that tho wily representative from the Sonth Division dropped the fight for the time with eifgular alacrity. There was- immediately & marked im- Trovement in the aspect of affairs. Mr. Wash- bum cleared Police. Headguarters of the coterio ©f gamblers that frequented thiore. 1 " "' "AOEE a’'DONALD, THE GAMBLER, was In the habit of presenting himself daily at ‘aunting the feeble Kennedy with his inefficien~ <5. He would bonst that he ran the city, and that nobody could deprive him of his powar. He would tauntingly ask how much the Chief and his staff had stolen on tho Inst raid, 4nd boast thet the “sports” had recovered <oublo the amount on the following night. All s wag borne by Eennedy, and McDonald saw Do reason to suppose Mr. Washburn conld op~ Pose him. On paying his daily visit, on one oc~ ‘casion, b was taught a lesson. He becamo un~ Tecessarily familiar with the new Chief, and taunted him as his Bcriptural prototype snoerod- 3t David.. . .Mr. Washbumn, however, slung s =mooth pebble st him, by requesting him to re- nein scverely away £rom his (the Chief's) apart-" nents, and air his despotism and hi§ brag in | more congenial quarters.

As stated abovo, the gamblers were held in subjoction after this, and the city enjoyed a singular immunity from dleir operations. * ~Tiet. this was a trinmph on the of the Chief of no mean order may be understood from the fact that.he nover had tho hearty co-opera~ ton of his subordinstes. The Ceptains, who owed tkeir positions to the Board; the Sergeants, %ho were the hangers-on of the Captains, sn the patrolmen, who, s a’ body, are more politi- tal tools, coincided with wonderful unanimity #ith the Board, in the belief that gambling was s institntion, —a relic of @O0D OLD TRIES (P : when the first Board of Police, consisting of A.

Tha Board donbitless conforred among themselves, and endeavored to opposo these fearfnl innova~ tions ; but, finding no flaw in the Suporinten- dent’s plans, they admitted the force of his sufgcsuoma and adopted the uniform with the belt’ and club. The Chief, for good reasons, suggested that cach policeman should purchasg ‘his club, thereby insuring his taking greater care of the wespon, and to this the Board was compelled to give its assent. The rumor was spread among the men, already ripe for am amount of fault-finding with their new ChiJ, that Mr. Washburn .. TIAD !“ACTED WITHOUT AUTHORITY " in giving this ordor, and a petition was presented in the Common Conncil by an Alderman praying for relief from this oppression. The mea wero actually in a state of incipiont mutiny on this subject, and that such s spirit should b toler- ated and allowed tospread is a fair indication of tho domagogism which characterizes the whold polico system in thiscity. Let the Commission- ers, the Captsing, and the officers say what they pleass, Mr. Washburn was placed the strong hsnd of tho eople of the city, through the Mayor, at the ge of the Police Department. 1610 WWere three Captains and a hordo of hangry Sergoants who would mot have beon surprised at being promoted to the position vacated by Mr. Ken- nedy, and to them Mr. Washburn was an intol- ereblo interloper. The Board rocognized him as such, and set the example in opposing him, The Captains and the hungry hords of Sergeants un- bler Miko McDonald that he would run Wash- burn out in thres months was eagerly taken up by the men, who were. worn to obedience to the new Chief. Here was a pleasant state of things. The Board of Police DEMOBALIZING THE DEPARTMENT for the purpose of securiag the Superintendency for a Captain. Each Commissionor was in- debted to the Cugtain of bis precinct, and ezch was determined that his political henchman should have the place. The public knows the result. The Board thraw the blame for the ntter demoralization of tho forco npon the Superin- tendent. The carnival of crime was sttributed to his mismanagement, and he was the scape- goat of their intrigues and incspecity. The Board has fought Mr. Washburn in this underhsnd wsy for some months, and found thet ho had evnded every trap sprung by them npon him. He was too honest and too active to be, canght. They wero at their wit's ends, and on the verge of giving up the fight, for tho Chief reccived the sympathy of _every right-minded men, and the Board of Police, by their anxiaty o expel tho Superintondent, had exhibited themselves in their truo light. * But 2fr, Washburn, in tho simple discharga of his duty, gave them an opportunity to display their rancor, and they have mado the most of it. The details are familiar to the public, for THE ‘' TWELVE-HOUR ORDER " has bacome a topic of general discussion. The Rules and Reguletions of the Doerd of Police constitute s remarkable compondium of useful and nseless requirements, with a history 28 remarksble es thomselves. They were drawn up by Jake Rehm, when that gentleman wes Chief of Police, sod when T. B.. Brown, A. D. Titsworth, and Fred.

Half a dozen “gocret” sessions were held to denonnce in un- measured torms the insolence of .tho Chief, but ot ono to understand hisplans. - Commissioner Reno dared to give o sort of silent assent to the Chief’s proposition to give it & newtrial, and the consequerce was 8 sound rating from his col- leagues overheard by the reporters.

The decisive step must bo taken ot once, before he had time to issue the order, Another spportunity was given to the Com- missioner, and Mr. Bheridan pushed Mr. Klokko's hand into the fire for the coyeted chestnut. At the muflfing of tho Board on Mon- day sfternoon, Mr. Washburn presented a com- munication requesting the Board to confirm his This was intimated ina mapner which, whilo icily polite, stung the unfortunate and perse- cuted Buperintendent, snd ‘he foolishly lost his temper, and said, *Gentlemen, '3 NOT A DOG, imd you msy just as well understand it first as ast.” < Terrible insult to the honorable Board! The, Commissioner who had, in open session of the Board, called his colleagne a_*‘d—d old despot” nanda “liar” was shocked beyond measuro -ab this nnseemly language. His virtuous indigna- tion consumed him. The other flery gentloman would have laid his hand upon tho hilt of his rapier, if he had one, but, as he had none, con- ‘tented himself with looking ‘fiorce. And poor Mr. Beno, who had been hauled over the coals by his colleagues for venturing to sustain the Superintendent’s plan, and had been sasured that Mr. Washburn wes a bad man, s erous despot, end a demoralizer of the whole police -system, eapk into his chair, \aghast at the eudden_rovelation of ‘the Chief’s blacimess of heart. It was a tableau that would ‘have tickled Dickens into a fit. .

The Commissioners’ room was too valnerabla a place to hold a secret session in of vast significance, and they locked themselves up in the Becrotary’s room, and there discuesed the matter with unusual cordiality, They called in the Mayor, and shouted dreadfully at him, and ot ono_snother, for it was evident that the hig eficient, - The glovenly, dirty, ehiftless sppear- :lee_onhu force was o him 3 source of gfi:rfi- Zestion.

TcEspax EvENixa, Jan, 28, ‘Tho past weck has developed no new featuros in connection with the dry goods market. Littlo or no improvement is noticable in the demand, and prices have not been subjected to any ma- terial fluctustions,” Decided mess still per- vades the cotton goods market, and seasonablo woollen textiles also exhibit’ considerable strangth, and with a return of activity—a period which it would scem cannot be much longer de- 1syed—s general ““hardening” of prices is an- ticipated. In the meantime, our jobbers are suttin their stocks in nbags to meet the large lemands that must soon be mado upon them, and interior merchants will find hers 23 attract- ive and well assorted stocks ascan bo found in sny o: the marketa of the country. An ndvance of & 340 in cortain brands’of bleached and brown cottons were the only changes noted during the week under review. 2 The carpet trade continues lifeless, the de- mand boing almost wholly of a Iocal character, and is mainly restricted to tho *fitting up™ of hotoels, offices, ete. This, howeyer, is_the dull sosaon with the carpet trade, and tho sbsence of activity at this time occasions no uneasiness. Btocks are not largely excessive, and, in sympa- thy with prices at the manufactories, the market is comparatively firm, :_The_Bulletin of Jan. 24 speaks of the New York goods market as follows : ‘‘ Business vbr:_:hfdxy a:cl:‘i:fiy with thr commxo‘ds,flim;‘ lahanse; y, ] in cotton got oty woollens wgru by no means neglected. The d.xsy tribution through the jobbing trade was rather light, end confined to s few prominent firms. Cottdn goods remained vary sirong, and symp- toms of an upward movement on Bome styles are becoming more spparent, slthough no changes in price have occurred as yet. The clothing trade operated to a moderate extent in cassimeros, cheviots, and suitings, and some Efidis"n’ goods have been well sold up in firat BROTXN COTTONS. Atlantic A, 44 Bhrkvfi!
