Our municipal conflict, as far as regards any ex- hibition of physical force, is at an end. Quiet pre- vailed yeeterday. The contest will henceforth be | carried on by the lawyers, and from all appearances | they will have a busy time. A score or two of war: | rants for tbe arrest of the policemen engaged in ‘Tocaday’s fight have been issued, and it is under. stood that Governor King has concluded to direct | the holding of a special term of the Court of Oyer and Termirer carly in July for the trial of the cases. Mayor Wood is cited to answer for contempt; there are also quite a number of plots and counterplots on foot, all tending to promote iitigation in some shape or other. The Board of Aldermen las‘ evening re- solved to defend the Mayor in the suits brought against him, and moreover decided to remain in per- manent session until the excitement 1s over. The special officers sworn in by the Metropolitan Com- missioners were disbanded yesterday, and it is un- derstood that no further attempt will be made by | the Board to serve process upon the Mayor, Jodge Edmonds submitted yesterday in the Court | of Appeals, at Albany, his closing argument on be- | half of the people, in the Metropolitan Police case. ‘The attention of the Court having been called to | the necessity for a speedy decision of the case, in view of the collision in the city of New York, Judge | Denio stated that the Court was quite aware of the desirableness of having it disposed of at the present | term if practicable. } The testimony in the protracted Burdell estate | case was brought to @ close yesterday. The ques- | tion relative to the commission to take depositions in California, with reference to an alieged matri- moniai engagement of Mrs. Cunningham, remains, however, to be disposed of.

Three of the mutin of the brig Gen.

Mr. Charles Frost was erator of the occasion. ‘The President and Secretary of the Pennsylva" nie State Agricultura!

The inquest upon the body of Francis Galters, who was fatelly shot onthe night of the 20th ult while in aquarre! in front of a house of ill fame in Thomes street, was conciaded yesterday by Coroner 7 | gs against the violator of | sued for the arrest of Drake avd Daffy, and plaosd in the hands of officer McCluskey, who will make every effort to effect their In consequence of the absence on duty of Captain Faunce, ‘f the revenze cutter Washington—the prin- cipal witness in the case of the alleged siave ship Mer- chant—the prosecution was yesterday unable’ to proceed with the trial. Counsel for defendant thereupon moved for a dismissal of the libel suit, and Judge Betts granted the motion. Our Hong Kong corresponient, writing on the 4th of April, states that in his opinion the parties with whom the war origivated were already tired of the contest. He considers Gom missioner Yeh a good soldier and an able diplomatist. The American fleet of clipper ships in port were being freighted with coolies for Australia. The Chinese war junks «vere formidable on the rivers from their nambers alone. Tweaty thousand British and eigh: thousand French troops were looked for. Of the United States squadron, the Portsmoutn had aailed for Singapore, as already reported in our colamns, The men were in good health and spirits, and naval the" atricels were frequent on board the San Jacinto. Our advices from Australia are from Melbourne to the 19th of March. Business was steady, but the trading profits leas. At Singapore, E.

Gold to a limited extent had been discovered in Nelson province. Emigrants had been freely absorbed in the districts within easy dis- tances from Wellington. Drapery, soft wood and hardware of all kinds dull of sale, the supply being excessive. The season’s wool was not yet all in; in consequence of the high price it was fetching in England buyers had becn anxious to purchase for remittance, but growers pre‘erred to take their chance of the home market. * Our advices from Rio Janeiro are to the 7th of May. The Legislature had opened its sessions and the Emperor made a conciliatory speech from the throne announcing the adoption of the policy of progress, which was followed by the dismissal of the old ministry and the formation of more libe- ralone. This had allayed the public excitement. The Emperor states that the high prices of pro- visions were causing much suffering among the poorer classes, and some adequate legislation was required. The eales of cotton yesterday embraced about 1,000 bales, closing firm, on a basis of about 14c. for middling uplands, and at 14%¢c. for middling New Orleans, Flour was again dull and lower; the gales were moderate and the market closed at a decline of from 10c. a 25c. per ba-- rel, especially on common and medium grades of State and Weatero, while common extras were also lower; choice brands were in small supply, and prices unchanged but dull, Wheai was dull and lower; eales of Chicago spring were made at $145, and ef Milwaukie club at $1 51a $1 623%.

Sugars were quict and unchanged. Coffee firm, ‘and the Azelia’s cargo of 2 600 bags Rio were sold at 10%, Freights were dull and rates irregular. Our Municipal Difficulties—Position of Gov- ernor King. Governor King appears to have returned from the Bunker Hill celebration with his ideas of po- pular liberties and municipal rights considerably enlarged, for we understand that he does not ap- prove of the late high-handed proceedings of his partizans in this city in their various civil and criminal processes against Fernando Wood. This information is not a matter of eurprise, for while the Governor is a lawyer of no inconsiderable ability and experience, it requires a very small modicum of legal knowledge to discover that the maintenance of the law had precious little to do with the several experiments of Tuesday last to arrest and degrade the Mayor of the city. The Governor appointed Mr. Conover to fill our vacsnt municipal office of Street Commis | sioner. The power of the Governor in the pre- mises being denied by our local authorities, Mr. Conover, when he applied for the keys, books, &c., of the office, was politely sent adrift by thede- | puty in charge. Mr. Conover, however, repeat- ed his application again and again, until ne was literally put out into the street. He thereupon procecds to take the necessary steps for the arrcet of the Mayor for assault and bat. that is, a constractive assault, for the yor was in his own office when Mr. Conover te was forcibly expelled from that of e Commirsiouer. Next the attempt to serve the for the arrest of the Mayor resulted in a tharp collision between a detachmedt of the | . Metropoliten police, acting as a convoy to the officer, and a large body of the pal polic at the City Hall. This ie followed up by a writ og: the Mayor for “inci a riot,” and with another for resisting the serviog of a cigil pro cess; when, in point of fact, he had no more to do with the melée between the tvo police gang than with the previous rough trea‘ment of Mr. All these processes against Fernando Wood were not upon the fact, however, but upon the mere presumption that he had ordered or instigated the violent proceedings complain od of. Now, can any one deny that it was just as fair to presume that the parties in actual ozcupation of the Street Commissioner's office forcibly ejected Mr. Conover upon their own responsibili- ty, and that the fight between the two hostile squads of policemen was the inevitable result of the act which brought them face to face, without regard to write or papers of any sort?) And why designate this collision between the rival police forces as a riot?—for it is scarcely entilled Conover. to that high distinction, notwithstanding there | were tome “cracked crowns and bloody noses” carried away by the retreating party. It was rather a sort of Dogberry tournament or gladia- torial combat, or so at least the fracas seemed to be regarded by the “masses of the people.” Moreover, they appeared to like it; and, as they would have to pay the expenses, they bad the right to accept the ecene as a public amusement in honor of the day eet apart for the reception of Gen. Walker. Thus much for the “assault and battery” charged egainst the Mayor, and for hie alleged crimes of “resisting a civil process” and “in- citing a riot.’ They were all constructive cases, Testing entirely upon the presumptive guilt of the Mayor. The arrest of Horace Greeley, in his office up stairs, for an assault and battery on account of the forcible expulsion into the street of some individual obnoxious to the men on the lower floor, would have about as much law to support it as these civil and criminal pro- ceases against fhe Mayor. It is not to the law, but to personal mulignity ‘net Mayor Wood that we mst look for these criminal writs and their conscquences. The Governor, no doubt, is fully aware that this explanation will cover the whole programme, Upon the main point at issue the Mayor re NEW YORK HERALD, FRIDAY, JUNE 19, 1887. wains in triumphant occupation of the field. His’ appointee to the Street Commissioner’s office oc- cupies avd discharges the duties thereof. If he, however, has no right there, the Mayor has com- mitted # ecrious act of insubordination in this ap- poiotment, and the Governor and his party shou'd not shrink from the enforcement of the Jaw and the penalty. To this end we unders'anud that the Mayor is to be looked after; and if Mr Conover is prepared to await the upshot of the prosecution we are entirely resigued. The Argument on Behalf of Municipal Liberty In the Court of “Appeals. We are not over well eatisfled with the argu- ment of the Municipal case in the Court of Ap- peals, We do not think the lawyers did it justice. Mr. Cutting talked bad law, and Mr. Evarts heaped cartloads of dust on the points at issue—- as it was his best policy todo: but why did Mr. O'Coner lose himself ia a brushwood of legal ab- etractions instead of going straight to the joint of the question? He used to be a clear-headed ecunsel : this case will hurt his reputation. We are not surprised that Mr. Cutting should argue that ell powers pot expressly reserved to the people are delegated to the State govern- ment. Trash of this kind consorta properly with the argument he is retained to make. No one knows better than he that in our republican country, the people are the fountain head of power, and that all powers which they have not explicitly and expressly transferred away are presumed and held in law to be in them still: No one knows better than Francis Cutting that neither the Legislature nor the Governor nor the courta nor the municipal authorities have any right or claim te exercise avy power for which they cannot show a clear and express warrant from the people. As for the Legislature, which Mr. Cutting assumes to make absolute sovereign, like the Parliament of England, it is in fact the most obviously subor- dinate body; it is the creature of the constitu- tion, and subject to the people at its birth, and inferior to the couris, to which its laws are sub- ject after they are made. It would we as casy to prove the Governor despotic as the Legisla- ture sovereign. But when a man takesa bad case, we must expect to find him support it with bad arguments, Mr. O'Conor, we think, made a still poorer display than his brother Catting; for he had— what Cutting had not—a decent chance to distig- guish himself, aud he is quite as cloudy as Mr. Evarts himself. What in the name of common sense has the derivation of the word sheriff, and arcview of judicial authority in the abstract, apd a discourse on “gerrymandering,” and a disquisition on quo warranto writs, and that sort of stuff to do with the question at issue in the case? True, we find, among Mr. O’Conor’s points, one that free local government is essen- tial to political liberty; but even this is buried under other collateral points of no consequence whatever, and no end of quotations from reports and law books which no mortal man ever could thik of wading through, Why did not Mr. O'Conor simply grasp the one strong point in the case, namely, whether the constitution justified the Legisla- ture in abolishing that part of our munici- pal liberty which enables us to provide our owa police force, and in substituting for such force another body of men appointed at Albany, but paid for by us—the people of this city? Ten minutes would have enabled him, with bis | rapid utterance and oratorical power, to have exbausted the argument on this point; aud uothing more would have been needed. A}l the common. place stuff in which he indulged, about constitu- tions and Sheriffs and counties and writs of quo | warranto, and other trivialitics, is of no sort of | | consequence to the Court of Appeals or to any- | body else: the point is—have we any rights which | the Legislature must respect, or have we none? That single question answered, the other points | on which the lawyers laid themselves out may be settled any way they please, without concera- ing us. We have a strong conviction that the Judges of the Court of Appeals—who are men of large experience and great attainments—will by their | judgment show the lawyers who argued on Wed- needay that, in their case at all events, legal pre- cedents have not crushed out commoa sense. We | lodk for # judgment plain, practical, simple, on the main and sole point of the controversy; de- clding whether the Legislature may trample on the city, end if yes, to whatextent the trampliag may | be pursued. We dure say the Judges may not Le as learned in their definitions and refioements jz and Mr. O’Conor; bat we shali nif they do not please the pub lie, and do their duty to the State a great deal better. The Judges of the Court of Appeals, being freth at? d divested of party bias will be likely to view the controversy as the first of a very important class of disputes which tuust neccesarily arise until the respective limits of State and city juriediction and authority are clearly staked out. They will dismies all per- sonal or party considerations from their mind and wili merely look at the question in its legal | ' historical and philosophical beariags. If they | find that the constitution warrants the spoliation | of cities by the State government, then of course | they will confirm the law; but if they find that not only are city liberties seeured by law but | that the State is without warrant in usurpations upon them and that such usurpations must be the | ruin of all liberty, then, of course, they will re- ject the law. At any rate, we will presume so jar upon their character and reputation as to say that they will not, like the lawyers, exhaust them- relves on frivolous subtleties, or, like the Su- preme Court, shirk the main point of the case. | Cartars Ryxpexs on tHe Stawp.—Captain Rynders is out with a card, in which he says that our charge of “aiding and abetting the Seward party in their work of subjugation” in this me- tropolis, eo far as he, the terrible captain, is con- cerned, is “a malicious and unwarrantable false- | hood,” an “unmitigated falsehood in every re- | spect.” The old proverb, however, says that “actions speak louder than words; and when | we find a notable politician hand in hand with a | Public duties, at d thing. He is now a xentleman, and should com- port himself with cirow:*spection, for the eyes of the world are upon him. ‘T'kose vulgar, uncouth ‘and coarse ard dirty expletives and oratorical ornaments peculiar to the “roughs” of the Sixth ward, and the early days of the Empire Club and Pewter Mug, are not the thing for the United States Marshal, nor fitted for the ear of that quiet, affable and courteous gentleman now in the occa- pation of the White House. It is eaid that on giving the Captain his present commission Mr. Buchanan blandly remarked, “Now, Captain, don’t let me hear of your getting into any more scrapes;” and we would admonish the Captain that though he may forget the point of this little joke, there is a meaning in it which he would do well to remember. That bogus Tammany faction which is not with us and our city authorities in this struggle against the Albany oligarchy, is working against us; and we again advise the Captain and all other federal officials concerned that this looking one way and rowing another will not do. That's all. Bowker Hr Corresronpence.—A large num- ber of distinguished men among the invited who could not attend the late Warren Bunker Hill celebration, sent each a letter of apology, and the batch form quite a feature in the prooceed- ings; but such is the pressure upon our columns that we have no room for them. The President of the United States saye:—“I should be much gratified were it in my power to accept this distinguished honor, for which I feel truly grateful ; and therefore deeply regret that the pressure of important public business will render this impossible. No spectacle could afford me greater satisfaction than to be present at the inauguration of a statue dedicated to the memory of the first great martyr in the cause of American Independence.” Gen. Cass eays:— “ Other arrangements will deprive me of the pleagure of accepting it, and of makiog part of the vast assemblage of American citizens who will come up, in this the time of their country’s power, to the scene of one of her most glorious deeds done in the time of her weakness, and re- call upon Bunker's Hill the memora- ble events which have made the day and the place immortal.” The other members of the Cabinet speak in a similar strain. Next comes ex-President Tyler, who pleads a “heavy family bereavement which has plunged into deep affliction all who surround me,” as his ample apology for noh-attendance. Gen. Scott has also an explanation of eadnees to give; for, says he, “Your flattering communication I de- clined answering, in the hope (as I have explain- ed to your sub-committee,) that some favorable change in the health of one of my family might permit me to visit Bunker Hill, the neighboring cities and towns, on the approaching occasion of high national interest; but the critical illness that has caused me so much uneasiness having, in the meantime, rather increased than diminished, I am compelled, at the last moment, to decline the very flattering inducements before me to visit your roble commonwealth.” But next comes ex President Ma:tia Van Ba- ren, who as usual writes a long letter, going all round the whole subject in his peculiarly grace- ful style. Take one paragraph as a sample:— that was thed in support of that priucpie--s proud legucy was 6 ‘Bul —& prow left toher by the Reveluti on, imposing apon her scms the ob- ligation of eterval vigilance fo maintaining it.

Duties of peatical power, and the ousosssful workiog of wi is 60 ie to regard with apprehension b; governments differently organized. Y. Next follow brief letters of excuse from Mr. Seward, General Wool, Washington Irving, Sena- tor Fish and others; but the cream of this cor- respondence is the pyrotechnical, sky-rockety, | rattlety-whiz-phiz-bang sort of a letter from the terrible Governor of Virginia, which we must give | entire. Read:— Riomtonn, Va., May 25, 1867, Sin—I beg you to thank the committee for their invita- on to me to attend their celebration of the egbty second anniversary of the batile of Banker Hill, on the 17th June ext, and to express my regret at my aabiliy to attend. t time especially to be discharged, will prevent my leaving Virginia. Coming through you, sir— a Warren—this invitation ts very soceptable to me; for though this Union shall be tora—if it must be—by some madbess Or other, and though the sun of our desdny ase nation aball get in gloom and a night of darkuows, and though frateleidal blood shall ow by the band of folly and sinia the hearths of our homes hereafter, {oan never for: got old Massachuset's—her Bunker Hill, her Warrens, her Adanees, her Hancock—ber bail—her sister hail—once to Virginiamin “ times which tried men’s souls." No, never, ! May God revive our revolatioaary feoliags. HENRY A, WIS8. Now that has life and fire in it, although it is a great pity that the Governor's monomania on the nigger question ecems to be getting worse and worse; but there is some edgmolation in the assurance that he never will forget old Massachu- setts—“ never, never, oever!”~ and as all con- cerned seem to be of the same mind, we drop the subject. Wallack’s Theatre—Dew Logan. A large and brilliant audience assembled at this eatab- Kohment Inst night to witners the débud of Miss Elina Logan, about whom considerable interest has been excited from the accounia given of her performances in the Southern and Western thestres. Additional interest was given to the entertainment last nigit by the annoinecnicnt that General Walker and his staf would be present to witness the difut of Misa Logan. Tt is rarely so distinguished an assemblage comes together in this city aa convened last night in this theatre. The houre was filled with authors, actos, critics, literary savans, well known merchants, and last, but not least, by Gubusters distinguished and other- wise. Shortly before eight o'clock General Walker entered the box eet apart for himrclf and par'y, and was received with loud cheers, which be re peatedly acknowledged by bowing tothe audience. The noite bad not enbsided when the curtain was rong up and the performers came on the stage. Shiei’s ** Evadne”’ ‘was the piece chosea by Miss Logan for her first appoar- ance, but a part of the audience were evi- dently unacquainted with the play, av they made lodicrous mistake of supposing Mics Thompson, who played Olivia, to be Mies Logan, aad cheered hor most vosiferourly when she appeared {a the second seca. Oa the cloge of the first act renewed cheers were given for Walker, aud a speech was loudly demanded; but the dist!ngul-tied fillbnster merely bowed bis acknowledge: mente, and modestly retired to the rear of his box, where- upon one of Lie moet vociferous #) in the crowded upper tiers shouted, “Bully f ‘aiker,’’ amid great fnoghter. Bot the audience were determined to have « ine and at the end ef the second act Gen. Walker m to the front of his box and made a few re *, which are fully reported in our account of the movements of tho General, detailed elsewhere. Vebement cheers and waving of hats followed the Gene FA's effort, and cries of “Good, good,” and “Bally for Walker.” The excitement lasted for some whea faction of disorgantzers we are apt to class him as one of the number. In the case, too, of Captain Rynders, he is accustomed to the posi- tion, not of a mere patrolman, but a leader. | The Captain is in the same basket of fish with Mr. Dillon, a democratic Seward Central Park Commissioner, and Mr. Daniel E. Sickles, whose cervices to the Seward party last winter cannot he overlooked. Nor have we any doubt that the active sympathies of this whole bogus Tammany faction, to whi¢h Captain Rynders has unhappily attached himself, are againat the cily in this mu- nicipal contest, and solely because Mayor Wood will not consent to recognise this bogus Tammany faction. We would remind the Captaia of another General Heppingsen was loudly called for, but gen. tlemen would not speak. Bot to the debutante.
