Further Expressions of Popular Sentiment. The politicians were yesterday in as much of @ fog as ever a8 to What the Mayor intended to @o about the Gardner-Charlick case. All sorts of speculations were indulged in, and many wiseacres who had 4 friend at court, or who pretended they had, even went 8o far as to say that the Mayor was reaily frightened out of the little wits he has left by the attitude of the pabitc as to what ought not to be done in the case, and had, as @ result, sent word to Governof Dix that he would appoint to the vacanctes any two gentlemen he (the Governor) desired: should be appointed. However, the past record of the !unny old man ts proof positive that he would never think of giving way to the Governor in any Manner so long as he could with safety to himself carry out his own plans and purposes, and 80 this ttle ramored concession of his may be set down as one of the idle stories of the hour. It may be the idea of some innocent people that Mr. Havemeyer never had tne slightest notion of reappointing Gardner and Charlick, byt a HERALD reporter yesterday learned trom a very reliable source that he had not only all along entertained such @ notion, but that the day before the two Commissioners sent Mm their resignations he and one of them (Gardner) and certain other parties were closeted together in hts office, and that then and there the plan was decided upon, which was this:—First, that the resignations should be sent tm; and second, that a day or two afterwards ‘the Mayor should elther refuse to accept them, after satisfying himself that the legal results of the Commissioners’ conviction did not wipe them out of existence, or to accept them, and then reap- point the precious duo. One thing is certain about this conference—the Mayor and the other members of it at tke time be- lieved that the Commissioners had the right to resign, and that the question that they had not was only thrown out as & sort But since then the 1dea that the resignations were only @ super- fluity, and that the Commissioners were really out of office the moment they were convicted, has been advanced by 80 many prominent lawyers and has gained such ground among the people that it has rather weakened the boldness with which the Mavor had tutended to act, and made him feel that even ne might be put on trial in the Oyer and Terminer if he acted too hastily. However, it matters very little now what amount of speculation was indulged in on this point, for, late in the afternoon yesterday, it got rumored about, and the rumor was soon afterwards con- firmed, that the Goverpor nad taken the bull by the horns in bis usual vigorous way, and had sent word to the Mayor that there were two vacancies in the Police Commission, The Governor based his notification to the Mayor on section 42, article 4, chapter 6 of part 1 of the Revised Statutes, which provides that upon the conviction of certain public officers “he shall immediately give notice of the vacancy created by such conviction or decision to the body, board or officers in whom the appointment to tue office is vested, or whose duty it may be by law to order or give notice of an election to supply the vacancy.” Tae receipt of the following telegram from Al- bany pute at rest all doubts upon the subject:— THE LETTER OF GOVERNOR DIX.

That this deci- sion cuts him to the quick there can be no doubt, for tt not omy upsets bis own conception of the law and his vanity, but at the same time deprives him of the right to reappoint Gardner and Char- lick. Had the Governor regarded the resignations 8 valid the Mayor might uave for @ few ae longer Kept te public tu painful suspense, lest might exercise @ Tight, which he undoupredly wouid have had under the circumstances, of foist- ing upon the community again such a police regulator as Gardner, who didn’t want gentlemen on the police force and who believed that clubbing private citizens was & right inherent in the ordinary patruiman. Yet, strange as it may seem, there were a few who Qa. an idea, judging from whe general talk yesterday, that the Governor has not cut the resig- Dation Gordian knot at all, Qnd that the Mayor may till consider the resignations as valid, subject, thereiore, to acceptance or rejection. People who talked this way asserted tuat tue mere opinion of the Governor that the couvictton of the two Com- missioners of & misdemeanor wiped them out as Comuussioners was not suiicient—that it was yet open question wuetuer it had created any vacancy. ‘he law, reading that he shall give notice “of the vacancy created by such con- viction,” they clalined, implies a decision by a Court stating that a vacancy had really occurred. This, however, looks like quibbiing, and it is not very probable that Mr. Havemeyer will be so foolish as to take such @ view o! the case. 41 of the same chapter of the Revised Statutes in the first place provides that the Court beivre which the conviction was had shal! give notice to toe Governor of sach decision, and tne decision of | the Governor cleariy shows that he has received due notice in the present case, and that he be- lieves the Commissioners Were convicted of a vio- ‘ latton oi their oata of office, one of the “events,” as the lawyers gently put it, fur which an officer of the city government loses ali mght to his position. The decision of the Governor, by the way, when made known, created quite a lively time among the poliicians. The triends@f Gardner and Uhar- lick were quite despondent, they had ho 0 the last te Governor's decision would be sut 8 to give the ianny old man at the City Hall a chance to reappoint them. The generai feeling ‘at all the hotels i aaa places—everywhere, in fact, where men of an evening are wont to con- gregate tc talk over the questions of the day—was Ove of decided rejoicing. Gardner, by his boorish- ness, part natural part assumed, and his peculfar ideas of police discipline and the rights of private ottizens, had succeeded before his trial in making himself detestabie in the eyes of the com- munity, and Charlick’s “straight as @& string’ reco! has certainly left bim, from all indications, but few sympathizers outside the pap hunters, woo thrwed so long as they were serviceavle to him. Not a word of sympathy for either of the dao could be heard anywhere. On the contrary, democrats and republicans alike, not of the pro- Jessional Class, seemed delighted that at last even the probability of their being again put in power had been swept away by the inflexibie determina- tion of the Governor to have justice prevati. Ex-President Thomas C. Acton on Metro- politan vs. Municipal Police. Ex-President Thomas ©, Acton, who was for nine years connected with the Police Department in this city, was yesterday visited, in order that his views might be obtained upon the present complications in the Police Board. He stated, in reply to the inquiries propounded to him, that he bad paid but little attention to the matter, and, not baving read the laws or charter relating to a the action of the two Commissioners, he did not | feel competent to venture an opinion as to the merits or demerits of their case, or whether they had violated their ath, of office oy their action or not. In fact, he preferred to have/nothing whatever to say upon the matter. Be, however, expressed himself as strongly op- posed to the mauicipal police agstem and In favor ofa metropolitan police, whic would, he thought, be more conducive to the general welfare of the commanity. AS long as the present aystem was in force ne thoughtthere could be no thoroughly | eMicient police and no good government of the force, for tha reason that too many infucaces— Section | local and otherwise—were brought to bear on ‘tne Commissioners, who became so hampered as to preclude them from properly discharging their duties, Polftical influences, among others, were brought too strongly to bear on them, producing & certain amount of unharmonious ieeling among the Commissioners, which was detrimental +o the well-being and discipline of the whole force under thetr control. By having a metropoll- tan police these evils would be greatly dimintsbed, for the Vommissionera would be in a measure re- moved from the pressure of local political influ- ences and combinations, being responsible for ‘heir acts only to the Legislature, which held bat @ yearly meeting. As at present constituted they are subject to all the whims and fancies of the Board of sidermen, while at the same time they are embarrassed and hampered in many other ways by heads of er ems be and others who use their influence with them in the interest of their Supt rters and followera, en questioned as to whom he thonght would be the most proger nd best qualified parties to fill the vacant offices Mr. Acton said he thought that was a most dificult query to solve. He was of optnion, however, that no one should be ap- pointed either on the police commission or a3 head of any other department who was s candidate for office, for the jon that the ver; being tn the fleld showed they were vain the position for the furtherance of some end Of their own ambitions or otherwise. He thought there were but few men in New York who were competent to act as Police Vommissioners, for tt re- quired men who knew how to discipline themselves before they could make any attempt to prescribe or enforce @ disciptine on others whicd they did not exemplify tn their own persons and habits. This was a primary and all important necessity, for the reason that the men on tne Jorce when in station houses resoivea themselves into a sort of club, wherein the conduot, habits and Itfe of their superiors were discussed and commented on. It they were found want! the men would not re- THE AMERICAN PILGRIMS. The Caravan Dissolved for Every- day Enjoyment. The Homilies of Damasus and Gregory the Great Read to the Delegation. Rome, June 16, 1874 ‘The caravan of American pilgrims has broken up and ite members have parted company, seek- ing the four points of the compass, according to their respective plans, Some have gone fora round in the environs of Rome, Albano, Frascati and Tivoll; others have proceeded southward to Naples; some mean to complete their Europsam piigrimage by visiting the Holy House at Loreto; others go straight back to Paris, while a consider- able proportion, who are of German extraction, as may be recognized by their names, will not re- cross the Atlantic without having saluted Vater- land, The pilgrims are delighted at their recep- tion by the Holy Father and by the leading mem- bers of the cierical party, and they already an- nounce @ repetition of the American pilgrimage for next year, when, they say, the caravan will consist of at least 300 pilgrims. Thetr exact num ber on the present occasion has been 115, but two remained bebind in Paris on account of illness. The following are the names of those who lodged at hotels in this city.

My letter of the 13th gave some details of the week's proceedings of the American pilgrims in Rome, of which the main features had already reached your readers by telegram. The event of the 14th was the early Christian festival, gtven to the pilgrims by Mgr. De Mérode, at the Ba- silica of Domitilla, early in every respect, as it commenced at seven A. M.—a wise prec.ution in this hot weather—and it referred to tne first cen- turies of the Christian faith in Rome. The Belgian prelate who now owns the estate of Tor Maran- cio—formerly that of Flavia Domitilla—is a man of wonderful activity and a wondermily fortunate man, The advent of the Italian government hae made him a millionnaire over and over again, for, erhaps, foreseeing the shadow of coming events, | he bought up at a nominal price, while the Pope | was stil) on the throne, the waste lands round the | ratiway station, and, subsequently to the eventfal 20th of September, 1870, sold them at an enormoag price as building lots for the Via Nazionale and the new quarter of the city on the Quirinal and Esquiline hilis, He has invested money in all sorta continually scandalized by cases being brought to notice of policemen clubbing and committing other out on unoifendi citizens. He thought that the police service fon the metropolitan pian would be more and more efficient as it was ex- tended, and it was the only true plan to be adopied. That it would be the ages jor this city nd suburbs before very long he sit confident, and,in the course of a few years, it would be fouad to succeed so well that eventually we should come to have a metropolitan police under one Board for the whole of the State, Politicians would in that case have but little chance of using their influence tor their own corrupt and selfish ends, the consequence of which would be that we should have men on the force in all its branches, not only capable and iit to periorm their duty with discretion and firmness, but at the game time honestly and faithiully. La conciuaing the interview Mr. Acton expressed him- self as being strongly in favor of all control or the carrying out of the election laws oeing taken out of the hands of the Poitce vepartment entirely, for it was a duty imposed upon them which did not belong to their office and laid the way open for many abuses to be practised. They had enough to do, he thought, to properly attend to their legitt- Mate duties, and should not be burdened with this in addition thereto, Hicker, M. R. Keegan, Comptroller Green on Police Pay. In view of the existing complications in the Board of Police Commissioners and the uncertainty that, as a consequence thereof, prevails as to how or in what manner the patrolmen and other mem- bers of the police force are to be paid their salaries now due for the past month, a HERALD representa- tive yesterday called upon Comptroller Green in order to ascertain what, if any, provision had been made for the purpose of providing funds for the liquidation of the payrolls, The Comptroller, in answer to the inquiries put to him bearing upon this question, stated that usually itis the custom for him, upon receipt of @ requisition for funds for this and other purposes incidental to the car- i oe fhe eaain Or eOY aueeenclony cormenty rying out of the duties of the Police Department | belonging to tne princely family of Conti, and si from the Commissioners, for him to deposit the | uated two miles outside of the gate of San Sebas- tian, on the right of the ancient road to Ardea, amount called jor in the banks where the Commis- | which diverges on the right irom the Appian Way. sioners keep their accounts, and then forthe | Baler cartel Haulese erty Ree im ok shore Treasurer of the Board to sign the checks or war- great lady named Numisia Procula, who had evi- rants for its withdrawai according as he is author- | dently @ refined taste, as the Vatican Museum ts ized by the Board.
