SAMUEL ADAMS WIGGIN. —2e OUR WEEKLY REVIEW. THE METROPOLITAN POLICE SCANDAL. MAJUR WALKER’S REMOVAL A NE- CESJTY. NO SUCH AN ORDER WAS GIVEN BY THE CUMMISSIONERS. IMPROVEMENT IN THE RECORDERS OFFICE. MR. MATTHEWS TAKES NEW QUARTERS. HIS PROBALE CONFIR- MATION BY THE SENATE. TRUSTEE JONNSONS’ RESOLUTION AN UNWISE MEASURE. The most disgraceful scandal that hasever been developed in the POLICE DEPARTMENT is the one that is now undergoing an investigation by the District Commissiouers, of Major Walker and Lieut. Arnold. It can be seen thatsome one had instructed the Lieutenants to watch members of Congress and Senators so that au oppropriation could be forced or additional policemen be appoin- ted, a wholesale scheme of black- wailing. [t can be seen that a change in the head of the Metropolitan police force is an absolute uecessi- ty and that change should be made as soon as possible. The charge that the District Commissioners issued such an order to the chief of police is an absurdity. Why should the Commissioners issue such an order? Suppose members of Congress do visit disreputable houses is it Major walkers or any body elses’ business to rove around and watch them or request his lieutenants do so? Lieut. Kelly bas testified that Maj- or Walker did give such instruc- tions which entirely exhonorates Lieut. Arnold, who is one of the most reliable officers on the police force. Major Walker has been making himself a little too cflicious ever since he was elevated frum a com- moner to the dignified position as chief of police. There are certain police officers bad enough now with- out putting more rascality in-their heads. Tuis fastidious chief bas rmmarked, so it 1S 1eported, that colored meu ave uot fit to be on the force. It the Commissioners refuse to remuve Major Walker the Presi- dent should, who took immediate ane tye satisfaction of the com- munity, and that his confirmation is assured. We have been tnformed that there are certain colored men in this community who will oppose his confirmation. A few of them are office holders whose names are well known tous. We don’t see why there should be any opposition to him, doue more for the district colored because he has certainly A.
