THE SECOND AVENUB RAILROAD DIs- TURBANCE. ORIGIN OF THE DIVFICULTY-—FULL PARTICULARS OF THR OUTRAOR. ‘The Seventeenth ward, in the neighborhood ef Second avenue, between Sixteenth and Twenty sixth streets, was tho seene of much rioting and disturbance on Sunday evening, in consequenes of a difficulty which occurred be tween gome of the employs of the Railroad Company and ‘& gang of well known rowdies residing in the above jo- ality. Those rowdies, It appears, hali from a epot hound. ‘ed by the above mentioned streets, Known by the name of Mackenelville. They have slways detled tho police, and been continually at war with the more peaceable inhabi tants of that district. Some days ago a couple of the gang wore ejected from one of the Second avenue railroad cars om refusing to pay their fare. They swore vengeance Against (he conductor and driver, and said they would | watch them closely, and have satisfaction for the imaginary _ insult offered them, Accordingly, on Sunday a party of about fiteen of the rascals concocted ® plan to calch the conductor and driver who had offended them, They got Into all the cars and fobs gee a hogy amy aod of Lk DL ad clonety , wit e hope acroes the persons they were ta wearch of.

POLICE RETURNS FOR JULY 5. SIXTH WARD. Another serious riot occurred in this district on Sunday evening. It appears that the gang of rowdies called “Dead Rabbits’’ got in conflict with another party of a similar stamp, who gene ally congregated in Centre, Poarl and Fim streetz. These two gangs, on the night of the 4th, were connected together in the assault made on the police on that day, Then they were the beat of friends, but on Sunday they got into a general fight, during which stones were thrown in quantities and fire arms were freely used.

THE BOARD IN AN BXECUTIVB POINT O¥ VIEW. All the matter published in rogard to the Commissioners heretofore has bad mere relation to the choosing of the men, the petty intrigues for inciting thoge in she municipal stations to desert, the petty squabbles with the lobbying solicitore, and the various traps in the war against the Mayor. Through this me General Nye sat ail di tendince upon everything in this connection. The oth Commissioners bad out door work of, ir own, or =manipuiaied = their No cliques. ot office beggars nner the Board. In the seesions they bave had incessant wars to settle bout the gr: ak que-tlon, the dlviion, of 9 agpoiniments, io at and durin truce with the Mayor after the l’ark riot these bave grown, through the iniluence of the lobby, to be particular y accrimovious. The matter bad grown to be @ fight between tho Know Nothings and the black republi cans for the offices. The latter had played Cholwell and bis backers the trick of submitting thetr list of appoint- ments for that Commissioner’s revision, so that be and his backers should have the veto on all but “natives,” but the list 80 submitted, except in s scanty number individu- silly known to Chelwell, were all “native” black republi- cans, For the past week or two the fight about these ap- pointments bas been so flerce and threatening that the possibility of tilling a pumber of the wards appears to bo out of the qnestion for the present, Taking these appointments, and the incessant equabbles about them among the Commissioners, together with a particularly bad understanding which exists as between all the under officisis, and then the general confusion of the office and intermeddling mischievous intrigues of the lobby, the result of the whole is the most egregious con- fusion and radical imbecility. There is no manifestation of any executive head. Not only is each Commissioner a separate sovereign tate, with his personal interest ‘and special prer: re ticking out as the solo and main thing, but the self opinionated idiosyncrasy of the majori- ty of the crowd of officials is another source from which it results, so that no one knows who is Who or which is which in the general confusion with which business is most ridiculously bungled. Mr. Tallmadge, as Buy lent, is made but the ald-de-camp or messenger fer the debating club or the Commission, whilst the members of the Commission are divided as ‘things, if fully detailed, would clearly exhibit ono of the me causes why elyht men have tmurdered and forty-three now lie dangerously wounded within the past few days, and why the city has suddenly preseated a cata- of such atrocious crimes that # number of columns the condensed official returns have been left unpublished as yot, for want of spwe in the press for the torriblo freshet of disorders with which the city has been for the past few days |. ‘he Commission, from its very construction, is as unit for the prompt action needed for police jes as any other debating body or political wire-pulling organization.
