CHARLESTON’S POLICE.
An Entire Reorg. niz ition of the
Force on the lapis.
Charleston, Jan. s.—The old City by
the Sea. having so mew hat recovered from
the effects of the seismic shocks to which
she has been subjected recently, is now
undergoing a series of financial and
political shocks which, if not, as disas
trous, promise to be equally as agitating
as the earthquake trnuoles. The readeis
of the Morning News have already been
informed oi the assessment shock, which
promised at one time to shake the old city
literally to its (ound'tion. The city
lathers, however, poured oil upon the
troubled waters reducing the assess
ments to a basis which will bring them
dow nto an earthquake level. Another
shock occurred to-day when the an
nouncement was made of the reoiganiza
tion of the police force. Heretofore the
police have been divided into two sec
ions, one stationed at the lower guard
nouse, at the inteiseet'ou oi Broad and
Meeting streets, ami the other at a guard
house on King, near Cannon street.
TWO SETS OF OFFICERS.
While the entire force was under the
control of onecuiei the division oi course
i equii ed a double set of officers. There
were three lieutenants, two orderly ser
geants, four sergeants, four roundsmen
and two gate sentinels at eacn station,
an arrangement that cost a considet aole
amount of money. Siuce the earthquake
the consolidation of tha force has been
tne subject of general comment and com
mendation, ana this was effected
last night. The management of
the force is entrusted to a Board
of Commissioners appointed by Council,
who are charged with the election of offi
cers and the appointment ol po icemen.
'This board met last night and perfected
tne consolidation of the force by the eleo
lion of one Chief, three Lieutenants, two
Orderly Sergeants and tour Sergeants.
Tnis, of cour-e, necessitated the leaving
out of a good many Lieutenants and Ser
geats. Th public, as a general thing, is
notat ail satisfied with the deal and it is
doubtful it the Council, which has a sort
of supervisory control of the Board ol
Commissioners, will confirm its action,
THE CHIEF.
in the first place there is a widespread
dissatisfaction about the chief, who is
universally admitted to be a clever geu
tleman, but wno is generally tnougbt to
be uu fit tea by breed in and instincts for
the position which ne fills. Tha re elec
tion caused the resignation of the chair
! mail of the board. In the second place
the hoard is charged with
making a deal in tne choice
of the Lieutenants. They retired
Capt. Sigwald, the only ex-Confederate
soldier on the force, and Lieut. Fordham,
a colored man who has proved his d;Vo
non to the white race by a service of
nearly twenty years, and who is admitted
to he one of the most efficient and reliable
officers on the iorce. It is said on the
street corners that the election was the
result ot a "deal’’ betweeu the members
ot the boaid, each member having bis
favorite, and the Chairman of the Board,
who lesigoed, Intimated as much in his
tetter of resignation, which was pub
lished yesterday and In which he says:
At the conference which we had after our
last regular meeting it became apparent to
me wuo would be the choice of the majority
of tills board for the olfi e ~f ulnet of Police,
hence I am not surprised at the result ot the
election just held. I have, however, a short
statement to make and ask the privilege to
have it spread on your minutes.
The officer who has just now been re-elected
Chief, requires no indorsement from me as to
hiß high personal character and spotless repu
tation as a gentleman. My opposition to his
re-election was base solely on tha tact that
lie is not titled by nature or training for the
position. He is not a disciplinarian, he is
not an organ zer. and has in the past commit
ted grave errors of jud meat in 111, ■ manage
ment of the force Tlie.-e shortO'itni gs have
been noticed, commeuied ou and admitted,
by every member of this board, and vet,
sir nge to sav. nearly every member has
voted to retain him.
As was stated, the action of the board
is subject to the confirmation of the C'ty
Council, and there i a good deal of loose
talk on the streets looking to tbenou-con
firmallou of lue election.
