Tho Doard of Police to-day commenced the examination of tho charges, and, judging from the testimony already in, it will go hard with tho officor beforo the business is over. Whatover may he the causo, tho polico of thin city have been greatly proised for their officioncy. The Chiof is ex- coedingly unpopular with the patrolmen, and they complain that the erodit for dlacipline among thom and the good order In the city should bo accorded to themaolves rath- or thon to him. It is quito commonly asrorted that 3fr, Willium Loe, who precoded the present Ohief in offico, was o suporior disciplinarian, sod had worked tho forco up to tho pros- ont high standard boforo Lo was susponded. The charges againat Obief McDonough may be narrowed down to two—drunkonnoss and abuse of ‘official authority. = Othor minor offonses will bo nlloged, but thoy will not ba con- gidored nocessary. Many specifio casca of drunkonuces will Do shown, In fuct it is thought that there will bo littlo difficulty in proving that the Ohiof was goriously under tho influenco of uquor for days and evon weoks in succession. 'Lho refusal of bail for trivial offenees, in which there wers por- sonal roasons for the incarcoration of prisoners odious to lim, will be alleged, and it s thought substantinted without trouble, Tho timo of the Police Comminsioners to-day waa principally ocoupled with tho cxamination of witnosdos in regard to the arbitrary arrost and imprisonment of a womau named Corniyan, whko lves on Myrile slraot, directly ~ opposito McDonough's rosidence, Murs.
