This decision of the mana- gers of the party here and in New York was pre- dicted afew days age in a previous letter ef mine to she HgRALD, but it was scouted at all around as a mere speculation, anfeunded even on probability, much less fact. It has beea brought about by sev- veral causes. In the first place, the Jeaders have already discovered that THE PARTY WHIP very ple: ATION FOR MINORS this act saould ever be- come @ law, will certainly not be 80 tempt as It now seems to be in New York city and Brooklyn especially.

This particular some- what independent portion of the majority have | a single New York city been outspoken, from the first day the charter was introduced, againet the proposition made in the charter'to legistate partially in relation to the government of the city, and have all along claimed that while they were willing amd ready to go any Jengths in party sonse to stand by the bill they would not favor the idea of retaining any particu- Jar head of a department and atthe same time to legislate out of office everybody else, regardless aa to whether the officials to be legislated out were good men and true or not. This view of the mat- ter has been gaining ground steadily during the past few days, but it is probable that even the anti-whip republicans might have been induced, if the worst came to the worst and the question was marrowed down to CHARTER OR NO CHARTER, to overlook the partiality feature of the bill had not ‘the tactics of Sammy Tilden and Havemeyer and John Kelly and Andy Green in New York aroused flarm. It has,in their opinion, become more and more evident every day that the mancuvrings of Havemeyer and the good feeling which has ap. peared to exist between him and the other reform ‘@emocrats mentioned mean mischief. They are gow convinced that the new combination are bent ‘upon getting control of the city—tnus to debar the republicans from seizing upon the offices they have been longing for ever since the election. The in- 4ignation of the place-hunters can be imagined un- -der the circumstances. Had Havemeyer kept quiet ‘antil the charter had passed the result might have deen different, but Kelly and Tilden’s “interfer- ence”’—as the majority call :it—has changed the complexion of things entirely. The high feeling ex- sited by THE DISCOVERY OF THIS ORGANIZED “ INTERFER- ENCE” ‘to deprive the faithful of the enjoyment of the Many good things they had an idea were in sure ~store for them, and which they had only to stretch eut their hands for to pluck at will, has been skil- if this be ones more swiftly and voluntarily on to their tate; an 80 it is hardiy likely that any law the Legislature may enaet to prevent young peo from running eouples will have any terrors for the infatuated nor, The Senate whatsvever. & private compensation or a ‘sinall up, tO Bay Dothing of the street or charter amendment prepositions, that deemed the only Albany matte openin; are just! le way with one another in faction failed te consider, introduce.or nouce ill to-day im any manner oan incorporation, job”? bill was read, strect Not even ir of in- terest to New York readers.

We will presume that he went and was shot; bat atany Tate Madden’s objection was enough under the rules to have the resolution laid upon the table, to the holy horror of such republican martyrs as Chat- field, Woedin, Wood and Robertson, ail of whom doubtless were mangled and maimed for their country in the late war so fearfully that their atriotic sufferings weuld make an owl weep. sovernor Robinsen, who really lost a leg in the late war, came down to Madden alter adjournment and actually had the ood to protest against his objections. ‘was consume MOST OF THE SESSION din @ sharp debate on a bill for the re- arrangement of District Courts in Troy, which was Made amusing by reason of Senator johnsen’s ad- tmatrable defence ef the State constitution and the unexpected failure of the constitution to back up Mr, Johnson’s positio! but otherwise there was nothing done worthy of note.

But now there is a serious question which this de- cision has given rise to which bids fair to create a mew trouble. “Green will be reappointed by Have- meyer,” say the republicans from the interior. “But he will not be confirmed by the Board of Aldermen if he does,” reply the republicans from New York, who seem to know that the Board is all mght. “Yet,” query the others, “according to the charter, if the Board does not confirm him, the Mayor and the President of the Board will have to appoint, and if they disagree—ah!” The reply of the managers is to the point. “There will be,’’ they. say, “no disagreement about the matter; we'll see to tnat.” In other words, they mean that this particular feature of the charter about the Mayor and the President of the Board conferring together and agreeing, or not Q@greeing, will be wiped out if necessary, eo that Mr. Green cannot get in again, even though he were shot out of a cannon from the Mayor’s to the Comptroller's office. Then, again, comes the question, “How about Van Nort?” Itis Delieved that Havemeyer, being a triend ofGreen’s, ‘Will not appoint him; but the managers seem to Know what they are about, and they will, doubt- Jess, ix this little matter satisfactorily before they K through with the job they’ve got on hand. re isa rumor this afternoon that to all these and many other dificuities of the situation which THE TILDEN-HAVEMEYER-GREEN COMBINATION have thrown in the path of the republicans the ma- jority, in order to secure the tuli fruits of their vic- tory at the last election, if pushed to it out of mecessity, will not hesitate even to so change the present general features of the charter as to take out of the hands of the Mayor the power to appoint the several heads of departments, and that as a gop to the other side they will create a bureau of nance, where Green might creep in and be pow- erless to do aught but vote how he pleased, with no danger of his ever being able vy his vote to carry anything ‘ough that the republicans would not want. As matters now stand ii is decided that the jarter will retain nobody, and from now till the when the Committee on Cities reports every etfort of the leaders will be bent upon the accom- lisument of some pian to be eagraited in the bill yy which the power of the republican party will be made a real power in the city departmenta, THE “’HOYS’! OF NEW YORK and the dainty gentlemen of aristocratic preten- sions, who of late have got into the habit of making rather a free use of pistols and firearms generally, | to the great detriment of their neighbors lives’ will oon be deprived of one of their little pastimes if Mr. Jacobs’ bill (introduced to-day) to Dy rr the carrying of concealed weapons should become a law. It provides that it shall not be lawful for any Person within this State to carry or have concealed | on his or her person any pistol, knife, slungshot or ‘other weapon of oifence, except a8 provided by the second section, which gives the Mayor or President of the Board of Police of @py city or of any portion of the in all towns power to permit “carrying of such weapon as shall be aesig- | nated in such permit.” A violation of the law is made a felony, upon conviction of which the party violating it shall be punished by imprisonment in @ State Prison not less than five nor more than ten —. It is not very likely that this bill will pass ite present shape; not, indeed, that it la nots one and might go a Way toward putting end t© many “shoot Matches,” probably ‘toward saving the lives of many peaceable people, but it is Chel many of the objections which were marged by der Hackett from the bench against Mr. Lewis’ bill, which was almost identical with | Jacobs’, and which was kiled last year the mo- ment it showed its head in the Lower House. The Recorder then held. and doubtiess still holds, that @ thousand laws against the carrying of pistols ‘would pot prevent THR DANGEROCS CLASSES them, and that law-abiding cittzens from who ide by the mw would be more than ever at the Of the lawless.

The republican Senatorial caucus to-night was a Star Chamber affair from beginning to end, and although it was given out before midnight that the caucus had been called for the consideration of “legisiative matters generally” it leaked out finally that the real occasion fur the caucus was THE APPOINTMENTS OF HARBOR MASTERS AND PORT WARDENS lately made by the Governor, It would, of course, be quite improper to state that there was a down- Tight row in the caucus, and that the Governor, without being actually denounced for disregarding the “advice” of the Senate in regard to what men he should have appointed for the positions, was not over-tenderly dealt with, but THAT THERE WAS A “HIGH OLD TIME” 18 A POSI- TIVE FACT, which more than one of the malcontent Senators will give proof of by their votes in the executive session to-morrow. The fact is that Governor Dix has paid very little attention in these appoint- ments to the “advice” of Senators, and their “con- sent” to the confirmations ot all of them will not be by any means unanimous, The Senators during the caucus TALKED VERY GRANDLY ABOUT THEIR RIGHTS and what the constitution meant by the phrase “with the advice and consent of the Senate” in the moatter of certain appointments, but only five of them had the courage to come out boldly and de- clare that THE GOVERNOR OUGHT TO BE TAUGHT A LESSON and made to understand that he was a republican Governor. The debate which took place, however, shows Mere, conclusively that the majority of the Upper House are rather afraid at this,early stage of the session to cress lances with the Governor, and that if the thing is inevitable, as some of them think, it is iar BBITER TO POSTPONE THE STRUGGLE than to bring it on before the New York charter and ether important bills have been passed upon. The out and out administration Senators were loud in their denunciation of the manner adopted by the Governor to show his independence of “outside influence,” but at the same time took good care in their harangues to put in a good word for Mr. Dix oe “ord Uf he got hold of the full text of their phil- pics HE MIGHT PUT HIS FOOT DOWN ON CERTAIN PET MFASURES they would prefer to have him consider in the light of measures of reform. The results of the execu- tive session te-morrow will tell the whele story, and one of the results, it may be said, will be that a few of the appointments wili be confirmed and a few others left open for future consideration. If the Governor does not take the hint, then the breach that threatens may widem and the fears of many that the republicans will find in MR. DIX A REFORM DEMOCRATIC TARTAR may be realized. The Senate knows that it treads on delicate soil and that a misstep may prove dis- astrous. It knows that the Governor means to hold to his views of reform, regardiesa of political influence, se long as he can stand firmiy on reform ground without it, and it is not likely, there- tore, that that body will do anything for some time to come to spoil its new pet, The Joint Committee on Public Education held a meeting to hear arguments for and against Patter- son's bill on the Common School act. Mr. Boese, ex-Clerk of the Board of Education, egnminand with other New Yorkers, in favor of the bill The Governor has appointed his son, Colonel John ‘W. Dix, his private secretary, and sidney De Kay Military peremey. Mr. De Kay has been Assistant United States District Attorney in New York jor the past three years, OPENING A PUBLIC LIBRARY ON SUNDAY, Boston, Jan, 28, 1673, The Boston Board of Aldermen, with but one dis- senting vote, has passed an order directing the trustees of the Public Library to open it on Sun- day afternoons.
