The so-called reformatory enactments recently adopted by the Legislature—the City Charter, the Pulice, Excise and Port Warden laws—are to be resisted till the last legal recourse is exhausted. A committee of the Board of Aldermen have under consideration 4 proposition to test the constitutionality of the city charter, and we understand a report is in prepara- tion embodying a systematic plau of action. Aa injunction was yesterday granted by Judge Davies, of the Supreme Court, to restrain the new Board of Police Commissioners from acting in their official capacity, The inj ion was sued by Mayor Wood, on the of the unconsti- tutionality of the act, particularly in giving | the appointment of the Commissioners to the | Governor of the State, instead of making the office elective by the people. The injunction is returna- ble on Saturday next, when the Commissioners will | have an opportunity to show cause why it should | | pointincnl of Collector of the Port and the selec- not be made perpetual. Mayor Powell, of Brooklyn, will acopt a similar course in regard to the new | law. Mayor Wood had a convocation of the Chief | and captains of police in his office, subsequent to the issuing of the imjanction, when he addressed them at some length, announzing the step that he had taken and his determination to test the matter | to the fullest extent of the law. In the meantime he strictly enjoined the Police Department not to recognize any other orders or authority than such as emanated from the existing Board of Commis- sioners, consisting of himself, the Recorder and City Judge. The Recorder does not co-operate with the Mayor in this course, bat the City Judge does. The new Board of Police Commissioners met yes. , terday, avd organized by the election of Commis- sioner Draper as President and Commissioner Bowen os Treasurer. Mr. Draper stated the fact of the injunction having been issued, which barred further proceedings on their part, and in a brief speech announced the programme of the Board. It promises fairly, and calls to mind the saying of a certain uncemfortably hot place being paved with good intentions. The liquor dealers sre moving energetically to break down the License law. Some account of their action is given in another column. It is claimed by the friends of this law that it will close nine of every ten of the liquor shops in the State. Doubtless, if the law is rigidly enforced, an immense pecuniary interest will be utterly annihilated, without any cor- responding benefit to the morals of the people. The act i vow the law of the land, and judges of criminal courts are required to charge all grand juries in relation to it. We shall soon, therefore, have several authoritative expositions upon the subject The Port Warden act, a measure entailing endless ance aud great annoyance, and which seems to have been devised for the sole purpose of enrich- og bail a dozen of politicians, has aroused the indignation of the merchants and shippers to an woseal degree.

To the spoils democracy of this city the ap- lion of his subordinates, are the momentons tests | upon which the administration, the universal | democratic party and the Union are to stand or full. All the late troables and tribulations of the brethren touching the election of we Tammany Hall Council of Saehoms, all their pat- riotic appeals in behalf of harmony, conciliation and unity, for the good of the country, were all clap trap, stuff and humbug. All these hard working patriots are mere spoilsmen, and cach individual among them is solicitous only to se- cure the advantages which a regular aud con- trolling position in the church will give bim in his burrowing game for this or that saug Uitle office, and the spoils which it may command. Mr. Augustus Schell bas beea chosen oar Col- Icetor—an appointment which to the public at large is very acceptable.

But we fear that the overwhelming re-union of democracy here last November was the last ghastly flare-up of the candle, sputtering and expiring in its socket.

LU ay that the party in power will be able to stave off for yet another lease of four years the reaction of the popular revolution which was frittered away among the opposition leaders and managers in 1856. The apontaneous popular Fremont move- ment of last year baa not died out. It only waite the trumpet call to bring the solid masses of the North, and large gecessioas from the South, again into line. Tn this view, not only is it probable that from the wrangling democracy of this city there will be some considerable rein‘orcements drawn over to the new Fremont movement; but it is also probable that numerous Know Nothings, dis- gusted with their Jack-'o-lantern adveutares, and many Seward republicans, will aleo fall into the Fremont ranka The same causes which have been operating to revive the Bronson squabble among the spoils democracy of this city have been operating to break up the Seward camp at Albany. Driven away from Washing- | ton, these Seward spoils and plander mongers have been playing the most reckleas and unseru- | pulous game of rule or rain at Albany. ‘They have been legislating for this great metropolis as the government al Madrid legislates for the ireland of Caba-that is, with the most perfect contempt for the wishes and local interests of the peop! directly conceracd. They have been giving as new charters aud police bills, and spe- cial acts and office-bolders, without number, and an increase of millions of taxes, without a peti- tion, in spite of remonstrances and regardless of public decency, or even party expediency. But | in all this they bave only created a feast of pub- lie plunder, over which their spoilsmen are stir- | Ting up snother Tammany fight of the factions. We may therefore expect in good eeason large aocessions from the Seward camp to the inde- pendent popular Fremont movement for 1860, in addition to the gain of all the other party losses | j ofthe times, Let, thea, the Fremont men, here and | everywhere, proceed to organize for 1860.

So 1t seems, by the dccuments we publish else- where, that the atrocious and unconstitutional ; legislation ot the corrupt politicians of Albany, | under the lead of Thurlow Weed and by the in- spiration of Witliam H. Seward, is not going to be submitted to in patieut silence by the people or | the municipat authorities of this city and the ad- jecent countice. The corrupt and insolent cabal, | which proposed to take away from the people of this city the municipal powers which belong to them in order to veet them ia creatures of their own—thus at one blow cresting offices for needy adherents, and securing for their party the dis- { is not the least probability of their working to-night. | America is now in her twelfth day out, and should have posal of fifteen to twenty millions annually | derived from the pockets of the people of this | city--this corrupt and insolent cabal, we say, | will diecover that it lies ou no bed of roves.

It will be seen, by reference to the proper co- lumn, that the Mayor has commenced the war by ining an injune tion addressed to the new ‘commissioners of Police, rv ining them from entering upon the discharge of say fancied duties Metropolitan Police act of that all d by the courts, ob “ irs ander last session, act valldily of bave been du!

They had all, more or less, an judiveet interest iu it, Lt they were driven away from the Prince's Bay planting grounds they have no other place to ge to, but if they were allowed to remain the trade would double and treble, ‘The planting grounds extend for three miles out into the deepest part of the bay, and from the high to low water mark the planters pay & rent to the owners of the property. fronting it of one dollar per yard per manum, Even if they ehould not be driven away people will hay dice agwinst the oysters on account of their coming trom Fo near Quarantine, eo great is the prejudice of the public mind.

Mr. Horm stated that 6,000 men are annually el ployed in the oyster trade, aud 2,000 fainilies are dependent Upon it for thelr subsistence.
