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. v Journalist’s I’resenue of Mini! /ro . 15s F.uffalo C'u ier .
