Kennedy on the Rampage— ‘The Old Biue Laws Revived. “Put a beggar on horseback and he will ride to the devil,” is an old saying more forcible than polite, but evincing a profound know- ledge of human na‘ure. Clothe some men with a little brief authority, and they will at once become as consequential as a Chinese mandarin with three tails, and as tyrannical as a Great Mogal. We have in this city a Metro- politan Police, wisely and fortunately secured to us by the State Legislature, whose province it is to act as the executive arm of the law, to preserve the peace of the metropolis and pro- tect the lives and property of its citizens. Every respectable resident of New York, and every s‘ranger who visits the city, will attest the value and efficiency of the force, It is a wonderful improvement upon the old munici- pal police, who owed their appointments to the worst influences, and were notoriously the associates and accomplices of thieves, rowdies and all violators of the law. President Acton, who is at the head of the commission, is an able and diligent officer, and devotes his whole time and energies to his duties. The Metro- politan system owes its success aainly to his efforts and executive capacity. The mon who compose the force are, asa general rule, well. behaved, faithful and courageous. On | one or two. occasions, when serious riots have threatened the peace of tho city, they have , acted, with exemplary fearleasness and moder.- tion. The captains and petty officers are in the main well qnalified for their duties and diligent in their discharge. Notwithstanding ali this, the Metropolitan Police isin danger of forfeiting all the popu- larity it has heretofore: won, through the as- sumption, arrogance and officious impertinence of its Superintendent. Mr. Jobn A. Kennedy, who at present fills that position, cannot con- tent himself with carrying out the orders of his, superiors, confining himself to his legiti- mate business asthe executive head of the force—seeing that his men preserve order in the city, that. the lives and property of the people are protected, and that offenders against the laws are broucht to punishment. He must needs rake up all the old Bine laws and dead letter statutes that lie around unrepealed, but forgotten by everybody, and set to work to free them from the cobwebs of time ani put them into active operation. He is probably incited to this by his monomania for fulmina- ting edicts signed with the name of John A. Kennedy. A republic is not his sphere. A government under which the people have rights and enjoy liberty meets bis contempt. An office in which his powers are limited is no position for him. He should have been a Turk- ish bashaw, and have ruled over a province, where tic could have resorted to the bastinado or the bowstriag, according to his humor, On. tiis aide of ihe Atlantic he shouid have lived in the days when witches and beretics were, Burned at the ‘stake, orat least have been a governor under.the Briti-h colonial system, wacnge could bave wore plenty of gold lace, have issued as ony proclam:tions as ‘he pleased, and have berated the leg siative coun- cil to his heart's content. The last prociamations of Bashaw Kennedy are curiosities in their way. Finding our Ger- *man population disposed to settle quietly down under the law which prohibits them from enjoying their glass of lager beer in their na- tional gardens with their wives and children on a Sunday afternoon, afier the labors of the week, and, seeing no prospect of a torcible re- sistance to the system of prying and spying which he has initiated in the torce under the cover of the Excise law, he has resolved to coerce the people into a religions observance of the Sabbath, and to stop the selling of wares ona Sunday. The first pronunciamiento signed by “John A, Kenuedy” was construed into an order to close all barbers’ shops, cigar steres, drug stores, newspaper stands, fruit and con- fectionery shops, and the like, every Suaday. The ediet had gone forth that hencetorch the rough-bearded mechanic must not have his chin scraped on a Sunday; that the mother with g restless infant must not purchase a bottle of soothing syrup on a Sunday; that the people must not buy a newspaper on a Sunday; that the child must not invest his pennies in taffy or bull’s eyes on a Sunday ; and all by order of that terrible Metropolitan Bombastes Furioso, “John A. Kennedy.” A great excitement was created in the city, and the old women and children threatened a revolt, and uttered fearful threats against “John A. Kennedy.” So a supplemental fulmination bearing the name of “John A. Kennedy” made its appearance yesterday, ex- plaining that the former edict was only in- tended to hit the Jews, who refused to obey the law of Moses, or some otter party, and to close up their shops on the Israclitish sabbath, Saturday. ‘These men the Metropolitan Mogul declared should pay for their lack of reverence to their own day of rest by beiag prohibited from opening their stores on Sunday. So the indignation was trausferred from the Sarey Gamps and little Marchionesses of the city to the Hebrews of Chatham street. The people may well inquire “what next?* If Superintendent Kennedy is to set up a standard of morality for any class of persons, Jew or Gentile, where is he going to end? Betore long we may expect another batch of proclamations prohibiting those cilizens who neglect to go to church on the Sabbath from taking pleasure trips to Coney Island, Rocka- way, Long Branch or any other popular resort on a Sunday, and stopping the Sunday trips of the cars and steamboats. If he is allowed his full swing he will end in putting New York under stricter military discipline than Charles- intolerance ivto the shade. The Commissioners of the Metropolitan Police should at once dismiss Superintendént Kennedy from his position. He is anfit to fill it, from bis infirmities of temper as well as from his arrogance and offensive assumption. An officer can be firm and efficient as the head of # police force without being overbearing and passionate, This last movement shows Super- intendent Kennedy’s Want of judgment and capacity. He professes to believe that there ie danger of @ public rising and riot in the city against the oppros- sive laws already in operation. After imposing this story upon some credulous re- pocter he immediately sets to work to enjorce * pect of quiet which the MAY 10, 1867.—-TRIPLE SHEET. of the City, resoris to the only means in his power to irritate the passions of reck- less men and to induce a conflict between the police and the people. We repeat, he shouldbe removed by the Commissioners at once. There are plenty of men experienced in the duties, such as Captain Leonard, for in- stance, who would make acceptable and effl- cient superintendents, and who would avoid the blunders, as they are iree from the weak- nesses, of Kennedy, and render the poltce what it ought to be, a body commanding the respect and confidence of all law-abiding citizeus. The Napoleonic Dynasty. There is no doubt of the fact that at the present moment the position of the Emperor Napoleon is more critical and precarious than it has been at any period since the foundation of the empire, and that from without and within influences seem to be concentrating toward him which he may find too powerful to ward off, and which may result in his removal from the throne. When in his famous Bordeaux speech the Emperor declared that “the empire was peace,” the sovereigns of Europe, fright- ened at: the revolution which in .’48. had swept like a tornado over the Continent, were willing to compromise their antipathy for the parvena who hadoized the reins of power for the. pros- peror promised. It is not to be supposed. that the Hapsburgs, or the Romanoffs, or the Hoben- ollorns, or even the scions-of the House of Hanover, with-their inborn ideaa of legifimacy | and “ divine right,” were willing to accept the admittance into their anointed family of a man who acknowledged his position as quite as much the result of “the national will” ag of the “grace of God,” except- ing as a choice between two evils, On the one side presented itself the prospect of anarchy and revolution riding roughshod over tottering thrones and among flying monarchs; on ‘the other the promise of “‘peace,”’ and the great influence of France to preserve it. The newly made Emperor would, they hoped, be satisfied with the limits of French territory as they then existed, and abandon, if he had previously ¢a- tertained any ambitious projects of aggrandize- ment, and would generally, aware of the fickle- ness of the French people, seck, as he had pro- mised, to turn their minds from the pursuit of arms to the conquests made by peacefal labor, and to join with the other Powers in muintain- ing and preserving the tranquillity of Europe. But what wah the fact? Two mighty wars soon followed tie inauguration of the “peace- ful” empire, in both of which France, aithough not attacked or directly interested, took a part. The ambitious designs of the exile in America, and Switzerland, und England, the projects con- ¢elved and nursed by the prisoner la his tonely.. cell at Ham had only been postponed, not aban- doned. The doctrines of “natozslities” and “na- taral boundartes’’—as dangerous to the other, European powers, in some casts, us they imight beuatistaciors in of!i@rs—were ta mgurated, and Freace, pushing her boundaries sonaward io the eresi: of the Alps, has exhibited ‘also w dis- position to advance them eastward to the vor- ders of the Rhine. The treaties which bound old Furope ihe Emperor Napoleon ‘has’ declared broken by the force of eveats, and unwortiy of respect, and Europe, in return, convinced that there is no reliance to be placed upou the Em- peror’s promises, is disappoiated at the result of the empire, which, instead of ensuring sta- bility, has kept ihe Continent in @ continual state of alarm and fear of war. Europe is satistied thai so long as Napoleon occupies the throne of France there will be no security for peace, and Europe is ready, if not fully pre- pared, to coalesce against him, as it did against his uncle. in France, as well as out of it, Napoleon has lost much of his reputation. He came into power with the prestige of a great name. Prompt in action and reticent in speech. he ac- quived a reputation for judgment and ability amoauting almost to a faith in his fallibility. The lucky star which, after guiding the uncle to victory, had set behind the rocky steeps of St. Helena, had, it was believed, risen again to light the nephew to a brilhant future, of which France should share the glory. Lavish promises of much needed reforms were made, and France, delighted with universal suffrage—ihe empire's gitt—accepied the empire with joy. But France has been disappointed. It bas discov- ered that the Emperor is after all but mortal, and liable, like other men, to errors of judg- ment, and costly ones at that. The aad resalte of the Mexican expedition and the manner in which he was out-gencralled by Bismarck have done an infinite deal towards destroying the prestige of Napoleon. A growing dissatistae- |- tion with his management of internal affairs expresses itself in marmurs throughout France. France has found, as Kurope has found, that no one better than Napoleon knows how to “speak the word of promise to the ear and break it to the hope.” France ia becoming tired of being held in leading ‘strings, and wants more liberty avd the | reforms which the Emperor promises. The | professed liberty of the press and the | right of meeting turn to ashes betore even they reach the lips of the hangry and expec- tant people. The terrible army conscription takes from the field, and from the workbench | the fower of the French youth, and the new project for reorganization will make every man « soldier. Extravagant expenditures have entailed heavy taxation and high prices, and in Parie nearly filty thousand workmen of different. branches of trade are “striking” for living wages.
