THE CITY HALL IN POSSBS8ION OF BOLDIERS. In view Of the intense anxiety exhibited by the public, one Of our reporters visited the City Hall yesterday for the purpose of ascertaining Mayor Opdyke’s probable determinativn. He found the oid hall im the porses- sion Of company of soldiers belonging to the Twelfth ee New York State National Guard. Sentries were perambulating up and down the spacious ‘corridors, and pickets were thrown out into every por- ton of the Duilding. Tne back and front entrances were |} gaarded by armed soldiers, and carly in the day admis- sien could not be gained until after an examination by “*the officer of the day,’’ and a full explanation of the ob jects and purposes of your visit.

His allusion, It is unnecessary to state, was toan article in yosterday’s issuo, headed “Tender Consciences,”’ which seems to have seriously dis turbed Mr. Opdyke’s equanimity and good manners.

Several members of the Common Council—Aldermen ‘and Councilmen— held a secret consultation yesterday afternoon, for the purpose of devising ® programme of proceedings, in anticipation of a veto by Mayor Opdyke. ‘The result of their deliberations is briefly this:— WHAT THBY WILL DO. ‘They will adbere frmly to their own position, and pledge themselves to pass the ordinance over a vow. days allowed meet and take decided action, with a view to raising a sufficient sum Of money to cover the exemption of such persons as have already been drafted and who come under the com- prebensive claas of those in “indigent circumstances.” ‘The Comptroller will immediately consult the leading capt- {alists, and it {8 said be will be abie to raise @ sufficient sum in advance of the jegal passage of the ordinance.
