Mr. Draper has signified bis intention of no- tifying the Board on Monday next with reference to his acceptance or rejection of the post of Commis- sioner, to which he+was unanimonsly elected on ‘Thursday last. The interminable Street Commissioner question is again on the tapis. Judge Peabody yesterday de. livered an opinion in the case as lengthy a3 the weekly list of bankrupts, in which he sustained the eppointment of Mr. Conover, and, as we understand it, gave to that gentleman the custody of the books and papers. Mr. Conover, however, is not yet out of the trouble. He is to be breught up with the formidable quo wavranto, the effect of which will be to compel him to establish his right to the office, show by what authority he holds possession, and by what right the Governor appointed him. The Railroad Committee of the Board of Alder- men met yesterday, when argaments were made for and against the Harem Railroad Company stopping | their locomotives at Forty-second street instead of Thirty-second stzeet, as is their present practice.

Tke practical cMect of a crisis like that we Lave just pasecd through is to @issolve all party Orgavizatiors, ard to bring all political issues to the tcuchstone of the pocket. A quictus has been put upon the “nigger” agitation, because it is en abstract question that will last for along time, and upon all issues of that character; and the mizd of every man is turned to consider the po- titive and msterial qucstions of the day, to learn how they will effect his own individual inte- retts, For this reason the financial policy that may be adopted by the guv.roment will become the lead- ing istue in the rcorgsnizaticn that parties mast undergo; snd for rome time to come aclass of qnestions anslagons to the old ones of “bank or ro bank,” “subtreasury or sbioplasters,” “pro- teoticn or free trade,” and others in fioance and political economy, willbe the only ones that the | public micd will entertain.

They can give him little light as to bis future courte, and the only thing he can white ai $< { now look to for guidance is plain, practical common senec. That the revenue is likely to fall far short | of the calculations of the late Secretary of the Trearwy is evident, for it will be affected by two great causes. trepchment that the people must and will prac- tice will largely éimivish the quaatity of our importations; and secon gcods that we sball import will be far less than was the value of the same articles dating the past few ycars of finaccial fever and inflation. | | We ehail want nothing Lhe the twenty-seven milliovs of silks that were imported last year; ; $279 a $284, and Australian, | the protection of our western frontier? “We fear thateoy movement in that dircotion will be waste rather than economy, involving great loss ujon our Western communities, aad subsequeat greater experditures on the part of the general government to regain their lost ground. And then the navy. How is ecrnomy to be practised ia the navy, when it is manifestly unequal to the protection of our commerce acd the iatereats of our citizens abroad? Would it not rather be botb cconomy ard policy to build all the ships we are likely to want now, when timber is cheap, iron is cheep, cordage is cheap, and the poople in veed of ¢mplos ment? ‘The come arguments will apply to our Coast Suivcy avd other labors of the government; acd as for cutting €Own the ocean mail eervice, why tot talk also of cutting down the inland mail service?

Tie mesns to carry on the public works, and to meet the falling off in the revenue, can be easily fourd. A loan, or the issue of post notes by the government for ten or twenty millions of dollar, would not only find ready takers, but such a meaxure would afford great relicf at this time. It would call out and put in circulation mach capital that is now boarded through fear of investment; it would afford employment to thouzanés wo reed it ten times more now than they will at any time during the aext ‘ive or ten years: if post notes are iseucd, they will afford an admirable mediam for our domestic exchanges, and, by entering dJargely into the circulating me- diuw of the country, give a new stimulus to trade, and dimiuich the effeot of the contrartion that all our bank» institutions must necessarily p-ac- tice prcparatory toa rcsumption of specie pay- ments, We hope the goverament will take all these things into mature consideration before | adopticg the couree it will pursue during the coming setrion of Congress.

Im the first place it is doubtfal whether a eudZen stoppage of the great expendi- ture upon public works is true economy. Many of them are needed to meet the present or im- mediate fatare wants of the country.

By reference to the table of failures which will be found clsc- where, it wl be ceen thet the suspensions which spreceded the month of October were nothisg ia comparison to these which have taken place dur- ing that mouth, The Eoglish were ouly in pos- session of ihe news cf the preliminary putts which preceded the hurricane, They could not forctee that almest every house in extended buriness throughcut the country would break and toes all the banks would suspend epecie payments.
