The rumors in circulation yesterday with reference to the forthcoming decision of the Court of Appeals in the Metropolican police case were totally desti- tute of foundation. Possibly a judgment may be given to-morrow; but it is quite probable that the , decision will not be rendered * ‘the jast day of the term of the court—Friday, 3d ,,roximo. The proceedings in the courts yesterday in regard to our municipal difficulties, full re- .4f which are published in today’s paper, cy interesting. The charge of contempt of Woed, in the case of alleged avoidance of process of the Superior Court, was de ided by Judge Hoffman. The Court, in its opinioa, en- tirely exonerates the Mayor from any knowledge of the process, and from any willful disregard of the aathority of the law. The proceedings before City Judge Russell in the habeas corpus cuse were brought\te a conclusion, and resulted in the dissharge | of the Mayor from the warrant of arrest issued by _ the Recorder, on the affidavit of Mr. Conover, | charging Mr. Wood with inciting a riot. In giving | his decision Judge Rusecll alluded particularly to the maliciousness of the Recorder in this matter, and his utter want of jurisdiction in the case. The case of the mandamus against Mr. Devlin, Street Commissioner, was continued yesterday. Mayor Wood was further examined; Sheriff Willet and his deputy, Mr. Vultee, were examined, as were also Deputy Street Commissioner Turner and Mesars. Peckam, (ndley and Colvin, clerks. Comp- troller Flagg, too, was on the stand, and deposed that under the present circumstances he did not re- cognise any Street Commissioner. Captain Bennett in his testimony distinctly proved that he ejected Wr. Conover as a trespasser, and that he did soon his own respensibility as an officer without any di- rections to that effect from the Mayor or Sheriff. ‘The question of the control of the Harbor Masters of New York over the Corporation slips came up before Jndge Meech, in the Third District Court, | yesterday, and by the Justice's decision the autho- rity of the former is denied on the broadest ground. He is of opinion that the Corporation ordinances es- tablisbir certain permanent regulations for the | government of the public wharves, piers and slips of the city, and appowting officers to execute them, not being expressly abrogated, are not, hy necessary | implication, repealed. The principle announced in this opinion is of the highest importance, as secu: ring to the city aa yet the control of that portion of the water territory.

The Board of Aldermen met last evening. A reao- bation was adopted directing the City Inspector not to advertixe for proporals for cleaning the streets until the commitiee of the Board prepare the speci fications A recommendation that the streets in the neighborhood of the Bowery extension be | cleaned forthwith was also adopted. The loca lity referred to is reported as being in an un- usually filthy condition. The ordinance from the Board of Councilmen re-organizing the Street De- partment was discussed and adopted by a strict | Party vote. Resolutions expressive of regret at the | Centh of ex-Alderman Wm. H. Cornell, late of the | Seventeenth ward, were adopted. The members of the Board will attend the funeral of deceased this afternoon at 4 o'clock, from No. 34 Second street. The Board of Councilmen were in seasion last evening and transacted a large amount of business ‘The report of the Committee on Assessments, con. firming the asveeaments for the Central Park, was adopted.

In Com mittee of | the Whole a report in favor of increasing the salary of the Chief Engineer of the Fire Department to 45,000 # yoar was, after a long debate, recommacnded toa third reading. The City Inspector sent in a communication asking whether his Department should advertise for proposale to clean the streets anes await the repost of the conference commiitee. resolution was adopted instructing the City Inspector to refrain from doing so, aa the committee will report at an early day.

Next Monday two hundred and fifty United States troops wil leave this oity for Utah to join other troops sent from other eub-stations throughout the country, al! of which will form three regiments, two of infantry and one of cavalry, numbering about 2,600 men. They will readezvous at Leaveuworth, Kansas, where they will be placed under the com- mand of the new Governor of Utah. The troops aze gexerally crew recruits, and are not very fine | specimens of manly vigor. Would it not be a good idea for the government to send out an army of good looking young batchelors, who would rid the Mor- mona of their superfluous wives, and then convert Utah into a civilized aud populous community, We have later scoounts from New Mexico.

These two democratic leaders are Gor. | Wise and Senator Hunter; these two democratic | factions are the administration conservatives, | whore champion is Mr. Wise, and the secession ultras, whose favorite is Mr. Hunter; and the | vacancy in the United States Senate, | Sice the contest for Governor, two years ago, | in which Mr. Wise bore the brunt of the battle, gained a victory over the anti-Wise demo- isive as his trinmph over the that memorable contest Governor and his clique at Richmond have ruled the roust. His candidate for the Presi- dency was nominated and elccted, and his candi- date for a scat in the Cabinet is now Secretary of War; but the term of office of the Governor himself 1 soon expire, and #0 his friends are will resolved to promote him to the Senate at over the head of Mr. Huater, ciding to the magnanimous doctrine of ro- ion. At present the Virginian Senators— gton Taster and Mason—sre both of the ultra Southern | echool; but if we put Wise in the place of Han- ter, Virginia in Congress will be lost to the se- | cevssion faction, for Wise will be unquestionably | more than a match for Mason. Thus, this con- test between there two Virginia factions for the ic is for the vote of the State in Congress pd im the next democratic National Convention, a vote which has been heretofore—1452 and | 1856, for example—cquivalent to the democratic nomination, We see, then, that this Virginia struggle be- tween Wise and Hunter ia a struggle for the | next Presidency in its brondest sense. It was this | issue between these two wings of the party that controlled the late Virginia elections, expecially | for the Legislature. The remains of the whig | and Know Nothing parties made a show of oppo- | sition upon the public land question; but that was all asham. The real fight was upon Hanter | verews Wise for the United States Senate. The latter, we think, bas the trump cards in his | hands, and should he be elected this coming winter to supersede Mr. Hunter and the ultra Southern 5 | faction in the Senate, we may expect from | | that moment the definite beginning of a party split in Virginia, which before 1860 will culminate in the division of the de- | mocraecy throughout the South into two distinct | Parties, and as hostile to cach other as our New York Cass and Van Buren factions of 1848, A variety of late political events and move- ments ney be adduced to eupport these views. An ultrafouthern organ has been set up in Richmond openly hostile to the advancement of Wise to the Senate, and scarcely disguising ite parpose of premeditated war upon Mr. Bu- chanan's administration. This organ, we under- ttand, is not sustained by individual voluntary subscribers in the usual way, but by organized contributions from the leaders and wealthy men of the faction interested throughout the Southern States. On the other side, the Richmond Fxami- ner, formerly of the rabid ultra school, is about to be merged ia the Lnguiper, to the end of 9 | Minister there; end that consequently Mr. Eames | render of Gen. Walker. The Bermudian remarks:— | NEW YORK HERALD, FRIDAY, JUNE 26, 1867. movement extend beyond the boundarics of the Southern States, ‘Thus, upon the Kansas issue, as upon the Cali- fornia question, we may prepare for a sharply defined Southern ultra organization, but upon a far more extensive and formidable scale than the Nashville Conventions, and the South Carolina, Georgia and Mississippi eecession experiments of 1851, This movement for 1860 has been com- meuced this time in Virginia, with its leaders and its effillations, awaiting the drift of events in all the other Southern States. We have no partica- | lar reason for blowing the trumpet of Gov. Wise. His conduct towards this journal and its editor has been mean, contemptible and alandcrous; and his course as politician bas been erratic, zig- zagey, and often ridiculous, We have no recol- lections of this sort against Mr. Hunter; but asa statesman, bis conrse in the Senate and on the stump bas been singularly high toned, decorous, | aud tree of all duty vulgarities. Bat in the matter | before us, if we consult the fitness of things, it is manifest that the political relations of Mr, Wise to Mr. Buchanan suggest the propriety of giving to the former the position of the financial organ | of the administration, now occupied by Mr. Hun- | ter, as Chairman of the Senate Committee of Fi- nance or Ways end Means, It is of the last im- | portance that this chairman shall have the fullest | confidence of the administration. Tho issue thus | presented to the Virginia Legislatare is, whether | in electing their Senator they will elect to place Mr. Buchanan superior or subordinate to the se- cession faction now organizing to break down his | administration and to distract and divide the Union. We rely upon the goed sense of the Virginia | people; we are confident tbat it will be expreased | in their choice of Senator—Wise or otherwise— reduced to this exact issue of support or resis- tance to the administration. But we are awaro | of what may be expected in the event of Hun- ter’s defeat—an open, instead of a covert oppo- sition to the administration from the secession faction—a rebellious eeccssion from the party camp, instead of a mutinous conspiracy within. So let it be. Between the Kansas policy which Mr. Buchanan bas adopted and a surrender to the demands of a faction of sectional agitators there is but one conrse for him, and that is the exact course which he is now pursaing. The socner, then, theee secessionist mutincers are smoked out the better. The old women of the rural distiicts need not be slarmed. We may have a Southern uitra nigger driving party and a Northern nigger wor- shipping party arrayed against each other, and against the Union in 1860, but, as heretofore, the sterling common sense of the whole country will be equal to all emergencies. Ia his calm, honest, impartial and_couservative course Mr. Buchanan will be sustained, and when brought to the test of internal discords, genewal bankruptcy and dissolution, or Union, cousillation and uni- versal prosperity, the enbstantial Southern slave- their interests, and that, North and South, the interests of all classes are blended together. | No fears, therefore, nced be entertained of the | | disorganizing sectional movements and principles | | of such agitators of discord and disunion as Jef. | fereon Davis, the New Orleans Delia, the Rich- | momd South, Mr. Rhett, and their seccession | aseociates and followers, nor of such nigger | worshipping demagogues and fanatics as Seward, | Greeley, Garrieon and sach in the North. All | the material interests of all claeses and all eco- | tions are pledged to the Usion; and all the solid | business men, North and South, are thas bound | over to keep the peace. Let these sectional dis- | turbers, then, proceed with their plots and | | struggle in question is for the occuring Virginia | senemes, An bonest and impertial national ad. | ministration will be sustained, aoa party treache | ry and sectional conepiracies, whethor organized | | at Albany, or Richmond, or Washington, will be | ignominous!y defeated. Against ail traitors | from within and all enemics from without, the mighty destiny of this great and grand republic must be fulfilled. Ships and serew Steamers. Attention has heen directed by certain Eaglish | journals to the changes which steam is effecting | in the system of ocean navigation; and the ery das been caught up by journals in this country. | These organe of opinion secm to think that the | eceptre of the seas is permanently passing away from this country, because ihe Eaglish are build. ing screw veeeels while we are not. A few principles in this matter are obvious enough. Sesew vessele, or vessels propelled by steam are superior to sailing vessels in respect of speed, but inferior to thom in respect of economy. | Therefore, wherever «peed is the chief or sole | consideration, it may be taken for granted that | screw vessels will drive sailing ships wholly out | of the field; but it is equally certain that, where | cconomy is a superior consideration to speed, | sailing ships will at all events hold their own | ogainst all the efforts of éteam vessels These | | obvious truths point to the necessary end of the pending contest. | The articles which are moved on sea, and in respect of which epeed is the prime considera- tion, are passengers, specio, perishable articles, fashionable goods, and light articles of laxury. Some of these look to speed before every- thing else, because time impaira their valac or destroys them eventually; others, as pas- sengers and epecie, do the same thing, be- cause with them time is money. A week's interest on a million in gold will pay for a good deal of coal; and © week's time is worth to a man of business even more. These are the future pat- rons of the screw vessels that are to ply on the Atlantic. But they bear a very #mall proportidh to the main staple articles of our trado with Europe, which are corn, cotton, sugar, breadstaflk, and heavy hardware goods, Our corn and cotton ex- ports alone are of more consequence than all the objects of laxury,; specie, and to- gether. Now, with regard to these, time is of lees consequence than the price of freight, A fort- night more or lees matters little or nothing to a bale of cotton or a barrel of flour; but a fow cents more freight are of some consequence. Therefore, as it is manifest that ships will sail to the end of time cheaper than steamors of any kind will be able to steam, it may be stated bold- ly that for years to come at all events all these heavy and valuable articles will be transported in ships, and not in steamers. So long as this country coutiques to furaish bolder aud the Northern banker, manufactarer, | merchant and railroad director will find that | cotton and breadstuffs for the world, eo long will ing from a temporary excess of supply over de- mandy in: the long run, the ships will look up. , At the same time-we will not affect to deny that the progress of sorew steamship building in England is calculated to cover the Atlantic with vessels like nove that we havo, and to transfer to the bands of the English the important passen- ger and specie business of the Atlantic, It is in- quired why we do not build screws, and the an- ewer is that they must be built of iron ox mot at all, as wood will not bear the strain, It is added that iron in this country is too expensive to enable us to compete with the English in this brauch of marine architecture. There may be truth in these objections; but cur ship builders ought to be able to devise a method of overcoming the difficutty. Tre Mvntcrrat. Contest.—-Two out of the many litigations thet have eprung out of the re cent high-handed proceedings of the Albany oli- garchy, and their aiders and abettore in the city, were finally disposed of yesterday in our courts of law. Those two were the proceedings against the Mayor in the Superior Court, for alleged con- tempt in resisting the execution of a warrant in the hands of Coroner Perry, and the proceedings on habeas corpus before the City Judge, to dis- charge the Mayor from arrest under the warrant of the Recorder. In both these cases—which, it will be remembered, gave rise to the intense ex- citement that prevailed in this city some ten deys ago—it has been virtually decided that the Magor only acted in the proper discharge of his fangtions, and did not, as was charged against him, set himself up in opposition to the legiti- mate process of the courte. Tn the matier of the alleged contempt in re- | sisting the execution of the warrant in the hands of Coroner Perry, Judge Hoffman, who iesued that warrant, and before whom the charge of con- tempt was tried, has diecharged the orderfosarrest, He bas decided that the affidavits presented on the part of the defendant made out a case exonerating him (the Mayor) from the act of re- sistance, as well as from the intention to resist. These affidavits, he states, were not contradicted, and apparently were not capable of being contra- dicted. The toadies of the Albany oligarchy in this city made an effort to have the matter opencd for a protracted investigation, but the Court held that further investigation was not allowable, as he himself was the only judge as to whether a contempt had been committed or+ | not. If Judge Hoffman had exercised the same good judgment and discretion when the applica- tion for the warrant was made to lim as he did in the matter of the contempt, no such difivulty would have arisen. He might at that time have hod sufficient courtesy to notify the chief execu- tive of the city that an application for a warrant for his arrcst was made, and to suggest to him the propriety of immediately attending in court, and entering into sureties to auswer the charge. But he did not do so, and the conteqnence was that apparent conilicé of authority, and spparent resistance to a lega, | procese, which had well nigh led to most fatal and deplorable resulta. In the matter of the habeas corpus proceedings before the City Judge, the decision yesterday | was equally favorable to Mayor Wood, and equal- ly disastrous to the Albany oligarchy and its | creatures in this city. I[t will be recollected that | | on the same day on which Judge Hoffman iesued his warrant, and within an hour of the same pe Tiod of time, the Recorder also issued a warrant for the arrest of Mayor Wood on the affidavit of the would-be Street Commissioner, Mr. Conover, charging the Mayor with having incited a riot in | | connection with his (Conover's) attempt to pos- | sees himself of the Street Commissioner's offices under color of an appointment by Governor King. | A writ of habeas corpus wae immediately issued by | udge Russi. to test the legality of the arrest. | The hearing was postponed till yesterday, when the Dietriet Attorney declined to attend aod argue the case farther than he had done on a previous | occasion. A charge of maliciousnces had been made againet the Recorder in connection with his issuing the warrant; bat as the District At torney bad virtually withdrawn from the contest, that charge was not preesed. Judge Kussell, how- in rendering his decision ordering the dis- charge of Mayor Wood from custody, remarked that the facts ou the record showed the mali clous feeling that existed on the part of the Ro. | corder, and also stated that he could not close | his eyes to the fact that the Recorder had not a | perticle of color of jurisdiction fur issaing the | warrant, ‘Thus the citizens of New York who are not willing to have their civic rights and municipal franchises trodden under fuot bya black repub- lican oligarchy, yesterday obiained two sopa- rate triamphs over their would-be rulers. It is « matter for public congratulation to see thus de- | feated the aggressive attempts of a miserable | partisan body at Albany, backed by renogades | in our own midst, the worst of whom are per- haps the bogus democracy of Tammany Hall. ‘The mandamus proceedings in the cave of the | | Street Commissionership are still pending; and | | Seto the Metropolitan Police bill, we have as | | Patwon Atrrep ox ms Travecs.—Th Lon- don Court Circular states that the Priose of | Wales is about to commence his foroiga travels, , and that he will pass a portion of the summer on | the Rhine, going from thence through Switzer- | land before he retams home.

We pub- lished Miss Logan’s letter because it contained . nothing that could injure her; and we are glad to eeetbat she has achieved a remarkable euc- cees, and is drawing crowds to the theatre at which she performs, But a parcel of drivellers, small literary men and other vagabonds, who make a living by le- vying black mail on unfortunate actors and ac- tresses, have been furiously curaged with Migs Logen—seemingly because she wrote us the let- ter in question. The real secret of the fury of these Bohemians is their disappointment that Mies Logan had discovered a road to the public ear other than the road which led through their pockets.
