L. writes us a most startling expose Of the
corruption and wickedneSs of our present Police.
He charges that several OF our Public Officers
have their homes in brotlleIs or nightly haunt the
most abandoned resorts, and live by levying
Black Mall on harlots, thieves and depredators
generally, on promise Of aiding their escape from
Justice He states that one of the most infamous
creatures about town, who was recently sent to
the Pententiary for assaulting with intent to
stab gentleman who had merely given test-
Inony against her paramour who had stolen his
watch, is now paradng Broadway again, after
remaining on Blackwell's Island less than a
month and another, who was sent up for as
sauting gentleman while with his family at the
theatre, has been got off, after few days con-
hnement, by distributing twenty-five dollars
among Police Officers, &c. This, he adds, is
common case.


We need not again express our conviction that
the whole machinery supported at heavy cost
by our City for the repression and punishment Of
crime is utterly corrupt and abominable that it
employs and sharpens worse rascals than 1t pun
ishes, and on the whole does more harm than
pood. When, O when shall we have a real
Police Reform
