Indeed, all the evealng papers pul together have merciy u fragment of ciroulation as compared with the morning. As a very mataral consequence, all the cash advertising of the city is gredzally and rapidly concentrating upon the columns of the Haxain. ‘The general approbation and patronage of tli: great me. tropolis towards the New Youx Heraty is the best and most conclusive reply to those silly, impotent and malig- bani siaaderers who, both at home and abroad, are centi nualy, but vainly, cadeavoring to sap our position, im- pede ocr progress, or put a stop to our amazing growth and developement.

Whe News, ‘The city was tranquil yesterday, the presence of the military having doubtless had the eflect of re- preasing whatever riotous disposition may have re- mained in the “Dead Rabbits” and “Bowery Boys.” From carefully prepared tables of the names of the Killed and wounded during the riots of Saturday ‘and Bunday it will be seen that the outbreaks were more serious than was at first anticipated. Two of the injured persons died yesterday, namely, William Buekley and Timothy Higgins, and it is quite pro- beable that others will die before sunset today. The ‘tables referred to give the following figures: Number of killed. . Number of wounded Total... ‘ dasaacaaaee The of arrests for rictous conduct so far dove not exceed twenty-five. Thirteen of the priso- ners were captured in the Sixth ward, and the re- maining tweive were taken into custody in the up- per part of thecity. The Coroners commenced their investigations yesterday, but made very little pro- gress. One of these officials loudly complains ef the inefficiency of the Metropolitan police authorities in not affording adequate aid in prosecuting the in- quiry as to who the partics were that participated in the riots. In two instances the juries have been unable to trace the fatal shooting to any particular individua.s. Both branches of the Common Conncil met last evening. Mayor Wood sent to them a communica- tion selative to the incompetency of the new police organization. He also calls upon the people of the State to aid in restoring the government to its ancient integrity, and to the people of this city their cbartered rights, through the potent agency of the ballot box. In both Boards resolutions to deliver up to the Metropolitan Commissioners the station houses and other police property were offered and discussed, und then referred to the Committee on Police, who were instructed to report on Wednesday next. This property is valued at eight bundred thousand dollars. In the Board of Councilmen & resolution was offered and referred authorizing the Clerk of th: Chief of Police to re tain the city property anti! torther orders, and em- ploy assistance in making up t.¢ O#08) ¢.mi-annaal reports. The Police Committee vere instructed to confer with the Comptroller with , eference to the payment of the salaries of the disbande.'| force. The @um due is said to amount to about eighty “ollars per gaan, and if the money is not paid mits wil) Le com menced forthwith. ‘The Brooklyn Common Council last evem.« voted nearly unanimously to surrender immediately the police property to the new Commissioners. Upon the question of depositing the funds appro- priated for police purposes with the State Treasurer | for the ase of the Commission, there occurred some hesitation, and the subject was referred to a com mmittee for further consideration. ‘The remains of Mr. Marcy will arrive in Albany | day, and the funeral will take place to-morrow. | ‘The Common Council of Albany have made arrange- NEW YORK HERALD, TUESDAY, JULY 7, 1867. et $60, five to other persons at $40, four at $50. Inn- Keepers’ Ucenses were granted at the $30 rate to thirtyecven applicants. One application for on innkeeper’s license was laid over for further advise- ment. The Board adjourned til! thie aftemoon at 2 o'clock. A trip was to have been made yesterday by the Commiseioners of Health down the bay, for the pur- pose of reconnoitering the lower anchorage, and taking a look at Seguine’s Point. Owing to the indication that the day would be foggy thg trip was postponed to the 26th instant. Three vessels arriving yesterday were detained at the old Quarantine for fumigation and cleansing, viz: the steamer Mexico from Havana; the bark Ocean Favorite frem Havana; and the Mayflower from New Orleans. Only two vessels are at the Se- guine’s Point anchorage: the Lucy Heywood and the Sarah Hills, There is not a single case of yellow fever at the Quarantine Hospital. We have news from Great Salt Lake City to the 27th of May. Brigham Young and party had re- turned from their expedition to the North, after an absence of sixteen days. The crops promised an abundant yield. The Biack Warrior has arrived at New Orleans with Havana dates to the Sd inst. ‘Tere was nothing of importance stirring. The newly arrived troops had been distributed throughout the island. The Kansas democratic nominating convention met at Lecompton on the 2d inst., when ex Governor Ransom, of Michigan, was nominated for Congress, over Ely Moore, by a two-thirds vote. Resolutions endorsing Gov. Walker's policy were adopted. By the arrival of the schooner May Queen we have Bermuda papers to the 27th uit. Rear Admi- ral Stewart and lady and Captain S:ewart had eailed for Halifax in the lineof-battle ship Indus. Up to June 22 there had been exported of the spring crop 82,150 barrels of potatoes, 6,764 boxes of tomatoes and 918,457 pounds of onions. The bulk of this was shipped to New York. The Board of Councilmen last evening adopted the resolutions increasing the salary of the Chief Engineer of the Fire Department to $5,000 per annum. During the pyroteebnic display in Boston, on the evening of the Fourth, a mortar used for throwing shell rockets exploded, killing George F. Tewkes- bury, formerly Harbor Msater, anda highly respected citizen; Asa L. Libby, cabinet maker; Patrick Cook, an employé of Hovey & Co., the pyrotech- nista, and a boy named John McMahon. Wiseman Marshall, the tragedian, and John W. Robinson were badly injured, but not fatally. This sad disas- ter terminated the pyrotechnic display abraptly. | A riot happened at Detroit on Sunday night, dur- ing which Deputy Sheriffs Smith and Sartin were injured so that the former died the next morning, and Austin is not expected to recover. ‘Trade in a general way yesterday was not very active, many merchants who went to the country to spend the Fourth were absent from ‘shange. The sales of cotton were restricted toa few hundred bales at fall prices, and the market continued to rule quite firm. There was a good local and Eastern demand for tlour, while common to good grades of State and Western advanced about 6c. per bbI., while higher grades of extras were unchanged. Wheat ‘was (irm, and sales were coniiaed to « cargo of Milwaukie club at $167. Corn was somewhat easier, and Western mixed s0ld freely at 82c. a 83c.; Southern yellow was nom\nal ai Sic. a 88c. Pork was easier, but more active, Wi h sales of mess at $22 36 a $22 50, closing at the latter figure. Bales of ugar embraced 290 bhds. Cuba for export on private terms. Coffee was firm, with sales of 750 bags Rio, 860 mats Jaye and 60 bags Ceylon at rates given in another column. Freighta were engaged to a moderate extent, both to London and Liverpool, a rates given in another piace. Beginning of « Judicial Revolution—The De- cision of the Court of Appeals. The construction given by the Court of Appeals | at Albany to the constitution of the State of New | York is virtually a declaration by that tribunal of the necessity of such a peaceful revolution as will eventaate in the proper amendment of that organic law. It isa declaration which the peo- | ple of this metropolis and of the whole State would do well to study and to act on. If they | bow eubmissively to the continued operation of | such an anti-republican charter as the Court of Appeals practically, if not in so many words, affirms our constitution to be, they will stultify themselves and the framers of our institutions, and signify their preference for an oligarchical over a democratic form of government. What was the simple question submitted to the arbitrament and adjudication of the Court of Appeals! It was whether, under the constitu- tion of this State, the people of coun- ties, towns, cities and villages possess the rights, which they have always exercised, of local self-government? To that ques- tion the court of last resort returns a negative reply. It eays in effect, “No; your supposed right of self-government is a mere hal- lucination. So long a# the Legislature permits you may, of course, enjoy it; but you have no legal or constitutional claim to it. It is a sort of plaything vouchsafed to you for awhile, to be resumed at the pleasure of the Legislature of the State.” Now, estuming, as we are bound to do, that this interpretation by the learned tribunal is correct one, it follows that the citizens of this great metropolis and the citizens of every portion of the State are just as dependent on the central power at Albany as the people of « department or prefecture or municipality in France are on the central power at Paris. It must have very much astonished intelligent people in New Yotk | and in the State at large, to learn from the deci- | eion of the Court of Appeals that each was | the case. We had always flattered ourselves | that our tight to local self-government was not only inherent, but was also with jealous care guarded, hedged round, and secured to us by the constitution. But now we learn, to our in- tense consternation, that all this was a delusion, and that we really possess neither the inherent nor the constitutional right to logal eelf-govern- ment, which is the basis of republicanism. The decision of the Court of Appeals, the. efore, has not only violated what we always believed to be our rights, but has swept away one of the .“oaia pillare of our system of government. If we asse.”* | quietly to this deprivation of liberty, and take not the proper measures to remedy the evil, this boasted republicanism of onrs is not worth a pia's | purchase, | The reasoning on which the Court arrived at | its conclusion is of a very remarkable character. The majority of the Court—that is, six out of eight--admit to its fallest extent the principle contended for by the opponents of the Metro- politan Police bill, that one of the primary objects contemplated by the constitution of 1846 was to decentralize power, to take oul of monte for a civil and military pageant. Invitations | ‘¢ bands of the Executive the undue patro- have becn extended to the suthorities of other cities | "age which it had thitherto exercised, and to re- to attend and take part in the ceremonies. Resolutions were offered in the Board of Aldermen last evening authorizing the Mayor to appoint an | admit, too, that the agent to proceed to Hingland and urge upon the pro | the of the monster steamship Great Fastern to ond that vessel to New York. The agent will carry with him charts of the harbor to prove the capacity of our harbor to meet any demands the progress of naval arohitectare may put forth. The proposition will come up for definite schon un Wednesday evening. ‘The Board of Excise Commissioners yesterday pose that patronage where it Properly belonged, in the people. The Judges admit all that, and Legislature cannot trangress barriers erected to secure the right of local slf-government—the right of the clectom of counties, towns, cities and villages to welect the officers of their respective localities. But they say-and bere comes the extraordinary point of you to indulge in the luxury of self-government | ing the territory or changing ite mame. If the provisions of the statute, says Judge Denio, had been limited territorially to the city of New York, it would have been in conflict with the constitu- tion. But because the Legislature resorted to a contemptible piece of trickery (we do not now quote the Judge, but give the logical conse- quence of what he says), the great constitutional principle is successfully evaded, and this high Court will endorse the pettifogging scheme, and give its judicial sanction to the legislative fraud. Some of the consequences to which this judi- cial indorsement of a law adverse to the spirit, if not to the letter of the constitution, may give rise are shown by Judge Brown, one of the dis- senting Judges, He observes that the provisions of the Metropolitan Police bill imply nothing less than the power of the Legislature to anite the entire State into a single district for the purposes of police, with its chief or prefect at the seat of the central authority, and its subordinate chiefs and agents in every city, town and hamlet in the State—that the appointment and removal of this numerous force, and the dispensation and distri- bution of its immense patronage, would follow as incident to the main power—that the next act of aggression must relate to finance, to taxation and to revenue—and that the Legislature might final- ly sssume the appointment of assessors, tax col- lectors and treasurers, and dispense with boards of supervisors. Let this scheme have effect, says Judge Brown, and the constitutional rights and privileges of the counties. cities and towns, as separate communities, will perish and become extinct. ‘The question now to be decided by the people of this metropolis and of the State at large is a mest momentous one. It concerns in only 2 mi- nor degree this Metropolitan Police bill, that has been declared constitutional, and we must respect the decision of the judiciary. But it concercs also the very life of our republican institutions. Dear and valued as are our municipal rights, the preservation of our system of government, madly assailed by a reckless black republioan oligarchy, is dearer still. Allow this latitude of power to the State government, and there is no reason why the federal government should not adopt the same plan of centralization. If the State govern- ment can, under the new decision of the Court of Appeals, disregard and override the reserved rights of counties by the formation of districts embracing two or more counties, what is to pre- vent the federal government from doing the same thing with two or more of the States by erecting them into provinces? The one is as unconstitu- tional and as unrepublican as the other; there- fore the treasonable blow dealt at our municipal liberties by traitors at Albany affects not alone ourselves, but the people of the State at large, and even of the Union. ‘There is but one safe way of dealing with the question. That way has been pointed out by the Judges of the Court of Appeals. It is to have the constitution amended in such a manner as to re-establish on a firm and secure basis the right of the people to local self government. There is not a citizen in the State, except he be imbued with monarchial principles, who does not recog- nise and admit the necessity of euch an amend- ment. Let the issue be kept in view in the next election of Senators and Members of Assembly. Let it, in fact, be the main iseue. Let a Legiala- ture be elected pledged to respect the rights of the people to self-government, and to take the re- quisite measures for the constitutional recognition and establishment of those rights by an amendment o the constitution itself in the legal way. We have been plunged into a revolution, and on ourselves it depends whether it will result fatally or other- wike. Cou. Forsey is tar Eprrorts. Hirvess AGaty.—We have received a copy of the follow- ing circular issued by Col. Forney, to wit:— ten Ft coe others, will be opt constantly in view.

Forney the financial success which | he anticipates in this enterprise, we are yet in- clined to think that it is an ill-advised movement.

Western wild lands | at ten dollars an acre, Kansas city lots, or Paci- fic Railroad etock at a high figure, would have been a better investment, we apprehend, for the spare cath of Col. Forney than this new deme- cratic daily. Since the election of Mr. Buchanan Col. Forney has made several serious mistakes, to his own particular disadvantage. First, in gotting the President to write that letter in bebalf of an election to the United States Senate, Col. Forney not only damaged his own cause with his party, but created personal jealousies in the camp, which may yet result in mischief to the adminis- tration. Secondly, we fear that in failing to «- cure a place in the Cabinet, Col. Forney has be- come ® little soured against his best friend, or the offer of that very honorable, desirable and profitable consulship of Liverpool would not have been refused. Assuming, however, that this new paper is a bona fide experiment, political and financial, wo hope that Col. Forney may be successful. He is an able and vigorous writer, a shrewd and energo- ‘ic party tactician, a popular man with the Penn- win. nia democracy, and bas had sufficlent news. .. “Stience to understand, no doubt, the re- ha Xp. sential to the snecess of @ new daily quirements Gs hia, against the Ledger on the paper in Philadey . one hand, and the Per, ono — « Laws Acconpia Tuner Uxcoxstitettona cording To THe Count or Arrrais.—. . * of cent majority decision of Judge Denio, police act, of Appeals, upon the Metropolitan . * nga it that act would have been unconstitutional. “ayy been limited in its operation to the city of \.

As for the Mayor and the Corporation, what else can they do than adhere to and follow up the de- cision of the Court? Devut ef the Moetrepolitan Pelice—Their Baptism in Bleod. ‘The Metropolitan police have commenced their career with a riot which cost the life of seme eight persons and disabled forty or fifty more. Their official life is thus inagurated with carnage, and they are inducted into office with a baptism of blood. We wish them joy of the omen. It does net appear that the riot took any one unawares, At least one of the Commissioners was warned beforehand, and that there would probably be a riot was on Friday the common talk of every one who knows the city, and had learned the disbandment of the Municipal police. Yet it seem that no precautions whatever were taken to prevent an outbreak; the riotously disposed were permitted to go on, heating their blood by petty skirmishes; just enough police were sent to them to teach them their owa strength and the weakness of the authorities; they were positively lured into a riot by the very parties whose duty it was to keep the peace. The turbulent saw the men who had been accustomed to maintain peace and order, and of whom they had grown up in wholesome terror, walking about in plain clothes and incapable of interfering with them; and they naturally availed themselves of the op- portunity to indulge their passions. They went from a row toa fight, from a brickbat to a musket ball, from a barroom encounter to a barricade in the street, until New York was visited with such a scene of slaughter as it had not witnessed since the present Superintendent of Police Tall- madge--then serving his county in another ca- pacity—commanded the slaughter of his fellow- citizens af the Astor Houee Opera riot. The main—indeed we might almost say, the only—cause of the riots of last week seems to have been the sheer ignorance of their duties displayed by the chiefs of the Metropolitan po- lice. While some of Governor King’s Commis- sioners were out of town, delivering Fourth of July orations to rural audiences, or disporting themselves under the green boughs ia Westches- ter county, those who stayed in town scemed bent on convincing the public that they would have done better to have gene away too. The first principle of a police organization—its efficiency for the prevention of riot—they seem to have wholly forgotten, or to have never known. Their idea of the duties of a police force appears to be to let the rioters get ander full steam and head- way; then to break in upon them with elubs and revolvers; and, these failing, to call in the mili- taryand shoot them down. We hope we need be at no pains to convince the bulk of our read- ers that the true duties of a police force are anything but this, The largest and most effi- cient police force, assembled in its full strength, must always be vastly inferior to the forces which could be brought against it by the populace of the city where it exists;.and a still greater dieparity cxists between the force that is detailed for the protection of certain localities (as for instance, the Sixth ward in New York) and the body of rowdies and ruffians which that locality could muster to oppose it. Equilibrium is re-established, and the supremacy of law and order restered by the moral force implied in the star, uniform, baton, and name of a policeman; it is that moral force which enables one man to cowascore of ruffians; and that moral force which, in proper bands, will always be sufficient under ordinary circumstances to enable a few policemen to quell a whole mob of rowdies. This moral force a judicious manager would have used on Friday to check the schemes of our rioters in the bad; preventive measures would have been taken, and long before the passions of the rioters were roused to fever heat, they would have been convinced that it was useless to attempt to dis- turb the peace; and the trouble, thus taken in time, would have ended in nothing. But, as we said, the Metropolitan Commissioners and their agente seem to have no idea whatever of the du- ties of a police force to prevent disturbance; they regard policemen as avenging angels mere- ly, and poor sort of creatures—requiring milita- ry backing—at that. There must be some cingular thoughts passing through the minds of many of those who can re- member three or four years back, and who read the papers of to-day. If one were to listen to one-half the city papers say, the city has never becn in such a state of rowdyism and anarchy; violence is rampant, and murder monotonous; the whole, in consequence of the inborn sin and depravity of Fernando Wood. What are the facte? There never was a period when there was less rioting, or when the turbulent classes were eo well under control as during the three yoars that Fernando Wood has been at the head of the police. During this period we have bad all the Know Nothing excitement, a peculiarfy irritating and inflammatory movement; Irishmen aod Ame- ricans have been ready to cut each other's throats oa the least provocation. This excited state of feeling was more than once brought to a head by euch incidents as the death of Poole, when it was | Iknown that ten thousand men on either side were prepared for action. Yet never once have the police preved incapable of maintaining the peace of the city; never have the military been called out; never bas the city been stained with blood. Such is the record with which Fernando Wood re- linquishes control of the police. However the Albany Commissioners may end, they certainly begin their career in # very diffe- rent and more hostile style. Gen, Henningsen and Gen.

Wasmmctox, July 6, 1857, ‘The Cabinet had an extra session to-day to dispose of a largo quantity of business that has been accumulating for ome time, Among other things taken up for discus- sion, Iam led to believe, was the Kansas imbrogiio and the present attitude of the South upon this perplexing qneation. The Southern mombers of the Cabinet are a Uttle afraid of tho storm that is arising in their particular localities. Although the administration feel a good deal of regret that Governor Walker shou!d have talked #0 much as to surround himself gratuitously with difficulties, yet there is no present istentions of auperseding him. On the contrary, It is hoped he will be able to extricate himself, as it is be- jleved the people of Kansas are with him, the fight being with the Missour! politicians. His recommendattons to the convention to submit the constitution when framed to the people is regarded as a mistake. The convention alone must determine that point, and the dictations ef the govern- ‘ment naturally causes joalousy. The pressure from the South for Walker's removal is vory strong, and it is en- dorsed by some members of the Cabinet; but the Presi- dent stands by him. e Despatches were received by the Prosident and Cabinet to-day, while they were in session, from Albany, an- nouncing the death of Governor Maroy. ‘The Department of State has received the resignation of Mr. Sponce, Minister to Turkey.

THR PROPOSED POST OFFICE SITE IN NEW YORK. Wasuisotom, July 6, 1867. A cite for the New York Post Office has already and still continues to attract considerable attention here and else- where. The sum of five hundred thousand dollars ap- propriated for the purchase of eeite and the eroction of the neceesary building, is deomed wholly inadequate for the purchase of such # location as the wants of the busi- nes community demand, and the erection of a suitable edifice thereon. Tho Postmastor General, in fact the Cabi- not, bave had it under consideration, and haye come to ‘the conclusion, under the law, tbat it was the intention of Congress, when they made the sppropriation, to purchase the ground and erect the necessary building for the sum appropriated. Consequently, the Postmaster Genoral has given up all idea of purchasing @ site oo Broadway or any- whore else, and is negotiating, or rather overtures havo been made to the city authorities, and « correspondence is now going on, for the donation of « portion of the Park fronting on Broadway and Chambers street, on which the government proposes to erect the necedsary baildings; ‘and unloss the city proseat to the United States the ground askod for, the Postmaster General will consider it bis duty to refer the mubject back to Congress, and ask for an in- croased appropriation. This is the true situation of mat. tors at present. But the chanoos are that Now York city Will be without a decent building for a Post Office for some me to come. The chances of the removal of the present Postmaster for the next two years are infinitely better and more promising than for the erection of a guitable Post Office building.
