nroT cf Catw or PouccThe followfrfc report of the late chief of police waa prenteJ at the Uat meetio; of the Council. We publish it, si ' it contains an cEcial accoaot of the city police durine ttepait year, and if a matter of puMic Interest: To the Honorable Mayor and Common Council of the City of Indianapolis: Gijuimu: I hare the honor to submit the following report of the operations of the police force of the city ofnJiaoapobatTtttlag the past twelve month: . Up o aaiuming cootrol of ths police, tw entysix tutmher cons'.iuted the force. The city was fuil of solders and recruit., and tew re?i ments arriving daily to fill up tLe quota for the one hundrtd Uays service, then forming. Thin number wa wholly inadequate to gurd the city and arrest the numeroui petty thieves. At that time my duties called me to the field with tbe 13 2 J regiment, and I left the force in charge of - Leat. Jobn S. Bray, who proved a vigilant ar.d cr.fele pfficer. UfKn my return, tie floating population was still larger. At a rough estimate, 1 should coopute the people in the city, soldiers and citizens, to Dumber sixty thousand. Seeing at one that with twenty-six policemen it ws impossible to guard a city covering so much ground and with sich a mixed and numerous population, I app!id to your honorable body for an increase of force, wh'ch was promptly grinteJ, giving roe tixteen aJ iitional men. With this forte, uow numbering forty ot.e men, the whole police duty of this city has been performed for the past ten months, and iu so efficient a manner a to bring compliments from the chit fs of police of oar principal western and eastern citie. In this connection I would state that upon the call for troops last fill, large bounties being ptid for recruits and substitute, an influx of bounty jumpers, from Xew York and other eitle, !ld ' our streets with scoundrels and thieves. They came, as they expressed it, on a coanlry excursion. There wasasolt thing io Indianapolis, and they were bound to have the plunder; but their jay was soon tamed to mourning, for the activity of the police and the excellent gu.trd and detectives under direction of that man of nerve Colotel A. J. Warner, soon broke their organization, and placed them in sale quirters in the guard house of the soldiers'

home Coloacl I append inJiialion Warner sajs in a letter to this report, that " which " as an of the activity and co opera tion of the police force with the military in bringing the cuilty to justice, and ('reserving order tnj be cited the lact that gince August I .sit, a shown by the records of tbii fllce, over two hundred deserters, bounty-jumpers and otbtr military offender have been wrroted by mem bera ot the police force and turned over to the pi.st provo.t marshal. M my of these offenders, arre-ted as bounty jumpers! and dtt-erters, i ie really profe:ornl thieves, cut throats and pit k pocket;, who, while they came hero to enlist for bounties intending to desert, and aUo plitd their regular vocation whenever an opportunity ot-for.-l." When the population of the city is taken into coiiMiJcrHtion, the extent of ground covered, the numerous railways affording an easy menu of escape for criminals, and the fact stated th.it there h ive been no bank robberies, no heavy robberies ot any kind, the efficiency of the police will be c'i)ow!eJed, Below will be found the number of arre.it and for wh it offences for the p.t ear: Murder. 4; mit with iutent to kill, 10, grand l.in eoy, b5; petit larceny, 10; malicious trespass, 1; keeping houses of ill-lame, 41; occupying t..uer of ill ftnie. ICi; visiting houes of ill fame, 20; public indecency, II; exhibiting obscene picture. 2; iiitox'c ition, 1,74'J; pn s'.iiution, IGo; associating with prostitutes, 3U; assault and b4ltuy,12G; oUtuibing theteace, I IG; carrying concealed weapons, 70; ;nibliug, 5; exhibiting shows without licence, Ü3; riotous conduct, 2; unlawful tsi-euiblieti, 20; violation cf liquor law, 2; committing nuisances, 9; violation ol cemetery qrdiuance. 4; running vehicles with out license. 32; hitching to lamp poet, 9; hitching to shade trees, 30; feeding hone ca streets aud enow ordinance, 55; violation of market ordinance. 3; obstructing sidewalks, streets, and alleys, ICC; violation ot Sunday ordinance, 21; driving on sidewalk. 43; building without permits, 5; fast riding aud driving on streets, 2C; fchooting io the streets, 15; public onbing, 8; violation of dog ordinance. 46; leaving teams unhitched, 51. violation of fish ordinance, 3; violation of wood ordinance, I; running locomotives too fatt, 1 ; total, 3,231 . These are arrests exclusively mide by the police. It will be noticed that the arrests tor intoxication, reach the enormous number of 1,74 J. We can trace, to this intoxication, the numerous crimes enumerated in the above list We have, for assault and battery, 125, and disturbing the peace, HC, alcuos: directly attributable to intoxication, but it will be noticed that but five have been arretted for gambling. M iuy pcoplo ask, "why h it that no more arrests ate made for gambling?" It is fcimply from the fact that poritive proof is required by the law, that money is bet, lost and wou, and from the fact of gamblers having "counters" to represent mone.v, knowing the police, the proof can rarely be made. These "counters" are ivory chips of no pecific value. Most of the gambling done in the city is what is tailed "bucking against the tiger," thut is playing against a faro bnk. Now, when it is taken into consideration that a police force of. forty oue men .have, durit jj the last twelve month, made three thousand two hundred and thirty:oue arrests, it is enough to establish the efficiency of the police which! htve had the honor to command. They have doiie everything I couid reasonably have expected. .They have been uirijhf, he nest men. vigilant In their duty, enduring hardships and privations, sacrificing their health for the public welfare, and deserve the thanks of the community, . In addition, 1 would state that over eighty deserters have been arrested by the police and placed in custody of Capt. David Braden. district provost marshal.bcs kles a uu tuber of United States prisoners, which I have no list of, have been handed over to the late United States marsh 1, Garland D Rose. In coudusiou, I would respectfully tender my thanks to his honor the mayor, John Caven, and your honorable body for the cord'nl coOperation and facilities you tme rendered me in the performance of duties, necessary as they are responsible and laborious.

The judge advocate remarked that it would be necessary for the court to understand the localities of the interior of the theatre, and they would meet there at 9 o'cloek on Tuesday morn in: for that purpose. The court then adjourned till IU o'clock next Tuesday. From New Kork , New Yoek, May 1C Tbe Commercial's special says: The evidence of the guilt of the prisoners at the conspiracy trial appears so conclusive a9 to completely check the current of sympathy in their favor, produced bv tbe proposed secret trial. It is f-aid that the prisoners are warned by their counsel to abandon all hope. They appear utterly broken down. Reventy Johnson takes but little part in the trial He is preparing an elaborate arjument, challenging the jirisdiction of the court. It is now proposed to substitute a street parade of the returned armies in Washington before the president, for a grand review. The Post's special says Julg? Lloyd of Balti more ye-ierday charged a graud jury that per sons Utting on military commissions for the trial of citizens of Maryland not connected with tbe army or the navy are liable to indictment. It is believed in official circles that Jeff Davis will be tried on the charge of high treason.
