Chargee have bean made in a newapa-
par egaiaat the poUoemen of Colombo*
that they aoted in an improper manner at
the special election on Thursday. On
Saturday, lu open oourt, ell part lee who
had charges against tba for os were re
quested, by Mayor Mcllhenny, to present
their epeeiSeetiona and proof on Monday
(yesterday). It was pretty generally
known.
Well, yeaterday eaeadf Mayor MeU-
beony requested Aid. Blaoehard (Mayor
protem.) and Aid. G. W. Brown to assist
him in presiding, and they eonaented.
Mayor M. waa in Milledgeville the day of
tha election.
The Mayor aaked fur charges against
tha offloers. Mona ware made. Aa wa
have stated, officer O'Connor, a aapernit
inerary, was suspended from the foroe by
Aldermen B. W. Lndainger, who presided
Saturday, for klektng n negro, who wea
trying to vote twice, away from tha polio.
After all the general bitter charges againat
the officers, and desire expreaaed for ao
investigation, no one appeared with tha
falnteet sign of disapproval or the shadow
of evidenoa that anything had been done
wrong.
Mayor pro tem. Blanchard stated about
10 a. m. Thursday, ha had been told fay
Hr. Blount, on* ot tho candidates, that
tha policemen wars electioneering for the
favorites, and good people denonneed it
should atop. He went down, leaned or.
dera, end afterwards no polios man in
nniform offered to interfere. He eoaaid-
ered that when men were off duty and In
citizen's dram they oould electioneer as
much as any othat citizen.
Mo aoiraaer appearing, tbs officers were
examined
Officer Wood testified bo plaood bia
squad on Broad street, where they re
mained until off doty. Connor came to
vote, end Piekett was exonaed. Captain
Koran had a hat on, thna showing he was
not on duty, aud gave tickets to all who
would taka them. After the Mayor's,
pro tem., order Foran changed his entire
uniform, and oame out aa a eitisao and
worked for hie friend. Fursu waa not on
doty until 0 r. a. He (Wood) gave tick
ets to those who wanted them. He hand
ed Moore tiekets to those who desired
them, aad procured Ivey tickets for other
citizens. He thought be bed a right to
do ao. Ha did not solicit a vote.
Deputy Marshal Bobinson testified he
wee at the polls until some three bun
dred voles hsd been polled, then went up
town to answer a telegram he had jut
received. Oa returning received the
orders by the Msyor pro tem. end com
municated them to officers, end saw no
further electioneering. Forau obaaged
bia clothes and did ao aa a eitinn. He
was not on duty. He knew nothing in
the regulations whioh forbade it, and did
not reoolleot at previous eieotions any
special orders the Mayor had given,
I bough be may have done ao. Mayor Mc
llhenny said there ware no regulations
governing the matter.
Offloer St. Clair confirmed whet the
other officors said. He eew no election
eering by members of the, foroe. The
Mayor had aiwaya issued orders that
pnlioemen should not electioneer in eleo-
tione. Officer Wood testified to the ume
thing.
Cberlu Coleman, City Attorney, said
electioneering ia no violation of the law
of the city or tba State. Charges hsd
been made openly in one ot tbe papers
that officers bsd violated their duty, und
now the authors shrank from bringing
forward proofs of their> seousstion. He
believed it would be best tbst officers
should abstain from eleotioneeriog, for in
s case of difficulty they would lean to the
side they favored. The charge comes
from only one paper, but it goes fotth to
thu world and injures our oily. This
may be called ,an ex parte eiamlnation-
It should uot be so considered. It should
be kept open. Let Iboso who have any
ohargea to make, come forward and pra
ter them like, men, and let them be heard
impartially. No policeman surrenders
a right aa a citizen when be becomes
poiieomau. Bring ohsrges and proofs
where they can be fnlly heard. Already
the report had been spread that country
men were afraid to coma to tha eity unlil
the people had formed a vigilanoe com
mittee to proteot them against the police.
Suoh publications were making the name
of our oity a by-word and reproaah, hurt-
lug her reputation, and ban a tendency to
deatroy her bnainoaa. Sheriffs, bailiffs,
justioea ot the peace and constables all
electioneer. In the preeent condition of
the law why havo not polieemen tbe same
unqneatioued right ?
Mayor pro tem. Blanehard atatod his ob
servance of ordtr on election day.
eleotion had never been oonduoted more
quietly, waa the general remark. Before
the laat Council it wee the rule to promise
policemen pltoee for their votea, and die.
ohargea in oaae they were againat. That
Oouneil had passed an ordinanee making
the two oaptaina elected by a majority of
tha aldermen, and that no offloer chill be
■impended without good oauae or dis
charged without the tbe approval of Coun
cil. No good offloer need ever fear re
■novel. Hia oourae as a citizen and aider-
man showed hia standing, and whether
ha ought to “sail out.” Ha claimed to
be as good a oitiaen, and as mneh inter-
sated in the corporation aa anyone.
Mayor Mcllhenny stated that at tha next
meeting of Counoil he would ask that
body to pan an ordinanee forbidding
eleotioneeriog. He had aiwaya inatrnoted
offloers not to do ao. He had never dis
charged a policeman for noting againat
him in an election. Onoe ten out of
twelve polled ballots against him; yet he
retained them all. Ha never overlooked
e moral delinqueney, and he knew not e
Colombo* polioemau who would do a
mean set. If proof can be brought of
one, the offloer will euffer. Officers are
instructed to be very cautions in their
treatment of people from the oonn
try. Before the Mayor's Court they
invariably get off lighter than citi-
xena. Tha endeavor eras to establish
friendly relatione with them. It la not
true that the polieemen desire difficulties.
The loaaon has been frequently impressed
thet the absence of crime ie the beet
compliment to the abilities of ofAoert.
He would say to all that, if they had
give him the names of aeoosem and
witnesses be trill have them eemsaowed,
end promise atoll and impartial investiga
tion.

JVeie York Mettle.
New York is the oity of magnificent
hotels. Bnt few people know or under
stand, however, tbe qualities neocmary to
tha management of a firat-olaaa hotel in
New York. Great tact, rare judgment,
fine nerve, and what tha Bev. Bobert
Gollyer arils “true grit," all must ba dis
played in the anooesefnl management.
Sometime* ail these fail, bnt perhaps tbe
most notable instanoe of immediate and
permanent aucce.n is found in the deafly
and increasing popularity of tbe Grand
Central Hotel, on Broadway, New York.
Combined with its management to a
great degree tbe Grand Central owns its
flno success to the liberal plan of ad j ant
ing its rates according to the looation of
the room oocnpied. This, with a bill of
fare berdly equaled by any hotel table in
New York, six meals par diem, ia aeonred
at the rate of from $8.00 to $4 00 per
day, according to choice in selecting the
floor desired.

THE SUNDAY ENQUIRER,
Witty the New Year we separate the SUNDAY ENQUIBEB from tha DAILY
Thia waa a naeaaaity, from tha feet that many hundreds were taking tha 8UNDAY
that did not take the Daily, and it waa but right that they ahootd have a journal tha
visited them bid ones a week, anpsricr to tha Dailt. On thia paper wa
largely riak the finpocial anooeas of our enterprise, and this being tha eaaa wa pro.
pose to make it in every way worthy of popular support, sad the beat advertising me
dium iu the land.
Wa do not dream of rapid fortune or unexpected auoosas. Lang yean of hard,
determined work, with one gnat objeot in view am absolutely essential to win. Al
tha requisites of aueigy,however, would be unavailing aa steam without practical aa
chinery, if we did not make* paper that commended Itself to the publio and in whom
pages aaeh snbaeribar fait he was more than compensated for hi* trifling lnvaataieet.
Knowing this we propose to make the SUNDAY ENQUIBEB the best fatuity p t p tr
in tbe South. ,
ITS DEPARTMENTS.
One aerial BTOBY of merit and thrilling interest will bu found in the colunui
of the SUNDAY ENQUIBEB. Three stories, at least, each a Vblume in ilaelf, aad
written aqireaaly for Me paper, will ba published daring the year. Each story wil
be worth the subscription prioe ot the paper.
General Literature,
Poetry, oirgtaal and selected, will be found in the appropriate columns. At
lesst two hundred poems, sufficient to make a large volume, will be published during
the year. Fa addition to thia thorn will be a great number of short and interesting
■hatches of travel, romance or general interest.
Ladies’ Department.
This will ba a marked feature in the SUNDAY ENQUIBEB. While the editor
of this Department will give a resume of tho ohangea in tbs world of faihion, si tha
same time great oare will ba exeroised in the preparation of all artielca, tha desire
being to give the necessary information without creating any tendanoy to tha slavsn
of dress. Artielea am female edneation, records of noble women, and kindred mitten
Will be mad* a specialty of this department.
Household Matters.
Cooking to aa much of a soienoe as domestio economy; therefore this depart
ment will be found of nnuanul internet to every housekeeper in tbe lend. All new
reoelpea that tend to mek* food more psliteble or borne more comfortable will be
lubiiahod. Besides reosipes that are naefnl in the preservation of furniture, doth,
ng, ornaments, tba decoration of home, and the eating of money. Everybody will

nbote to it from their own experience and so do good to their house keeping aisteis.

Sunday Reading.
While tt ia proposed to make the SUNDAY ENQUIBEB snob a paper as ecu be
read at all times and by>very person with advantsge, yet it is bat right that w.
should set aside a department especially devoted to religion without eeeterianiMD.
Church news will be given under this head, besides sacred poetry aud tha bed
thoughts of the greatest pulpit orators.
Scientific Notes.
Hia world owes ito progoess to tbs heart of pure religion end the oeaeeleas brain
of bar daughter and band maiden, Soienoe. Every day new diaooveriee ere being
made, and these, where they are of geueral interest and practical utility will be reg-
uUrly furnished to the subscribers of tha SUNDAY ENQUIBEB.
New Publications.
Iu thpi age of many books it is impossible to keep up with the literature of the
day. Thia department by careful reviews will keep onr anbsoribers informed, aai
where necessary tha cream of all tha books and periodicals will be carefully given.
Answers to Correspondents.
From this Ume forward this will ba a regular and carefully edited department o(
the SUNDAY ENQUIBEB. All questions proposed will be answered carefully sul
promptly, to the best of tbe editor's knowledge and ability, and where an an.su
cannot be given the question will be published and answers solicited. By this
means mneh information can be conveyed and amusement received.
Agricultural Notes.
In this department will be found news from the Granges and all tha reeent agri
cultural discoveries and experiments.
Wit and Humor.
Believing that a little nonsense now and then is proper, and that a man 01
wrong and think no evil while laughing, thia department will be filled with I
and Humor of the day.

EDITORIAL OPINIONS.
As tha main objeot ia to build up a great family paper that will be a weakly visi

ENQUIBEB tbe beat family paper in the land.
