TEE TROSPECT FOR TO-DAY—INSUFVICLENT ACCOM: MODATION® FOR THE M&KTINGS OF THE BOaRD— TS FROPOSED GENTLEMBN FOR THB VACANT COMMISSIONERSHIP—A NEW SHIELD FOR THE PATROLMEN. The stormy debate in the Board on Saturday—fully re- ported in yesterday’s Hxnarp—and the one handred and seventy unsuccessful ballotings for a successor to Mr. Drager, will, no doubt, ensure another lively time to day, when the balloting is to be resumed. The attack on Mayor Wood, and nis vigorous response, are, no donbt, but the precursors of more stirring timer—ospecially as the trial of Deputy Carpenter is to come off to morrow. Mr. Bowen was heard to say on Saturdsy that they (tho ropuiicans) were ready to alt all wight, if Mayor Wood and his friends desired it; and as the Mayor is not noted for heck of mettle, the quertion may become one of mere endurance. The place for the meetings of the Board has been changed {rem the front room of the seconj story of No, £8 Whito street, to the back room on tho sams floor for the purpose of escaping the notse in the street, whica was before a great uctrance. The room is, however, by far too emall, espec'ally as a number of the police cay and rergeants, who seom tw have plenty of time, crowd the room 10 suffocation during the sessions of the Board, The accommodations for reporters are very insutticient, and some of them being obliged to write on their knees, with a haif dozen persons resting on their backs, some cause might be showa for the complatats of that fraternity. The room is badly ventilated, ard is quite insignificant for 80 grand @ Board as that of the Metropolitan Police Com mirsicners. ‘The candidates proposed to sucteed Mr. Draper are very well known {pn this city. Royal Phelps, the Mayor’s can- didate. is a well known staunch democrat, now an active member of the Chamber of Commerce, and an infueniial merebant. Cyrus Curtiss, the republican candidate, is an active merchant, now @ member of the Commins ioners of Emi gre:ion, snd an appointee of Governor Clark. * * Daniel Ulimen is the oclebrated Kao# Nothing cand!- date for Governor, whose birthplace was a matter of £0 much speculation. ‘What couree will be pursued with regard to the election can of course be only a matter of copjecture. It is very evident that with the candi ates thus far named nothing can be done. Ii bas been suggested that the name of J. W. Barkér is only he'd ia reserve for future success, but there eceme little probability that the repab?icans will unite on apy of Mr. Cholwel!’scancidates. By the rule adopted by the Board a ‘me jority of a quorum’’ can elect to the va- cancy, so that if ope wember cf either three of the orpos: forces of the Board should remain away and the other two shoula atiend and yote, the three could elect thelr man, Jt is probable that ax ceretofore Messrs. Cholwell, Wood and Powell will attend together, if at all,soas to prevent apy such contingency. A new shield was exhibited at the Roard on Sa‘urday, It te formed of the Siate arms, surmourted by the eagle, like the others, but differe from ihem in the absence of the formidable rays of of the sup, and the preseace of some scro}l ornamentation on the rim. The semples are made of a composition resembling silver and gola, &c. TBE BROOKLYN POLICE.
