10 NEW YORK HERALD, FRIDAY, JULY 10, 1874--WITH SUPPLEMENT. —_——_— THE HOCUS POCUS. The Deadlock in the Police Board at an End. WILL THE MAYOR RESIGN? What the Politicians Think—The General Situation and the Strange “Party” Results That May Follow Havemeyer’s Removal. A WHEEL WITHIN A WHEEL There were No new developments in the politi- a! situation yesterday, and consequently the politicians, whose excitement over Havemeyer’s | Jolnes has been at fever heat for a week or 80, ‘were in an easier frame of mind than usual. Dur- ‘mg the day it was rumored that the mony old Map of the City Hall who has been at the bottom f all the hudbub had at last opened his eyes and @een the handwriting on the wail, and had, as Fesuit, made up his mind to go out of office be- @ore he was ignominiously put out; bat the rumor ‘had no foundation in fact—at least jast night, lt meed not be taken Jor granted, however, be- cause the Mayor, when questioned about the matier, tried to smile sweetiy and look jolly, and Feplied that he would “stick” though the City all tower should tumbie down into bis private office and spoil bis daily lunch with Good-Gracious Matsell; for the fanny old man is not celebrated for sticking to his word, whatever else he may stick to in good or bad weather. The q@ay he reappointed Gardner and Charlick he solemniy averred that he did not intend to make any appointments that day, and yet his pets were appointed that very evening and one of them was sworn in before sundown. So, ‘deing a man of surprises, he may, before another ‘week passes by, prove also that be is a man of con- tradictions, and leave his office for Mr. Vance to ‘take care ofunti next January. It is an undeniable fact that many of his best friends have strongly advised nim to resign before it is too late, and, as several of them are men of gh standing in the community, and in no @ense of the word polttictans or the agents of poli- ‘ticians, it may be that their suggestions will prove ‘of weight if the skies that have been lowering aud Diack during the past week should grow more ‘threatening. THE GENERAL FEELING throughout the city meanwhile remains un- changed, it being as dead against the Mayor as ever. Indeed, it may be said to have grown deeper Im its intensity since his attempt to put Gardner tato the Excise Board and his second acceptance of the second-time tendered resignations of bis friend Oitver and his cheek-by-jow! companion, as bisevery move since his first attempt to put them back into the Police Board has been looked pon with suspicion, and nothing but his removal ‘Will apparently satisiy the pubic, The election of Gdod-Gracious Matsell for Presi- @ent and General Duryee jor, Treasurer of the Police Boara had, doubtless, much to do with allaying the general excitement about town in Teference to the Mayor's strange actions; and Yet it seemed to surprise almost everybody. lt 1s Possible that the deadiock would have continued tor a jew weeks ionger had it not been for the tact that the patrolmen were ¢clamoring ior their pay. Each one of the four Commissioners was anxious not to be the man to sboulder all the blame. and the result was we “break” yesterday aiternoon, which, no matter what eisé it may bring about, will secure the men ‘their month’s wages. From all the facts that have © ome to light relaiive to the last resignations of Charlick and Gardner, it is certain tuat the two Men when they were reappointed were deter- mined to remain Commissioners unt] some higher power was found than the Mayor’s to put them out; that 1s, if they could again secure their offices—the one of President, the other of Trea- gurer. Had Gardner been elected President he ‘wouid have clung to the last to his place. Had Yar. Charlick’s health remained poor he might pos- mibly Lave resigned very soon alter the organiz tion. But the two were it upon ge ‘of the Board again at all hazards trom the start. ‘The determination of Disbecker and Duryee was as unex, so they had finally to surrender; and to the stand therefore, these two Commissioners took, backe up as it was at the time by public op i The fact that there is to-day the Police Board neither a Gardner to teach LESSONS OF BRUTALITY TO POLICEMEN or a Charlick to inculcate ballot box trickeries for the gratification of private spites. Had the Mayor, giter he had appointed Mr, Voorhis and Good-Gra- | cious Matsell, gone about his business and not meddied with the preliminaries of the organiza- tion of tne Board, the generai opinion appears to | be that there would have been no trouble of any ‘Kind; but Charlick and he had a conference on the | Bubject on Monday night, and tne result was that ‘the iuuny old man gave it out that no matter what ‘would be the consequences, neither Disbecker nor Duryee would be allowed to get either the Presidency or the Treasurership, and ‘when Gardner and Chariick’s resignations were accepted their two successors were instructed to Vote together against any attempt made by the other two to secure the omic This was a threat that Duryee and Disbecker determined snould not cower them, hence the second deadiock, until the threat had to be partially taken back and the Treasuryship awarded to buryee. Up to the very Jast Charlick, with bis usual! maievolence, made every effort to be reveuged upon those who Bad biocked his own little game, and it ‘was he and Gardner who induced the Mayor to wend a letter to Disbecker telling him to resign so ‘Bhat an organization could be effected, and whicn Disbecker very properly refused to do, in view of | ‘he iact tnat no just cause had been assigned for ‘the necessity of such a course on part. Had ‘She letter been sent to Generai Du it would have been looked upon by many as having been PROMPTED BY & GOOD MOTIVE— Bhat of securing a speedy organization of the ‘Board that the men could get their pay: butits being sent to Disbecker showed that (he conier- ence between the Mayor and Cuarlick ana Gard- ner had but one object—revenge for the Commus- Bioners having thwarted the pians of the reap- inted men. q@id ornot it is but fair to say that he bad all along been the most anxious of all the Vom- missioners that the men should be paid. So, 1 ‘the funny old man of the Cizy Hall had not reap- pointed Garduer and Charlick in the first piace, and threatened dire vengeance upon Duryee aad Disdecker in the second place, because they would Not vote as he wanted them to, een no police muddie at all, and everytuing ‘would have gone along as merrily a8 a marriage | THE REPUBLICAN POLITICIANS’ PLAINTS. There is one peculiar feuture avout the situation which is rather amusing, and which had last even- ing already begun to luke the republican poll- talk strangely. They say toat the Board in reality Dow Stauds three democrats to one quasi republican, and that at the Jail election the ‘old love of the not over pronounced democrats for ‘the party, especially a8 Tammany is now galling under reform colors, may well up in weir hearts with all its old-time sirength, and that it does the result will be dine ‘astrous to the pullers and haulers and hangers-on of the Custom House party. “Why,” aid a Custom House officer, Who 1s the political ‘whip” and bottie-nolder generally for the purtuion @f the republican party that live and have their deing in his ward, “what are we going to do now? ‘There's apa in the Board to represent Voorhis is really not a republican at heart, though he may have voted the ticket lately. We ougut to Shave somebody. It’s pretty rougti.”? A CHANCE FOR DIX. A still more amusing feature of the situation is @he anxiety displayed by some of the democrats lest the removal of Haveweyer by Governor Dix would be dangerous to the party’s success next election. Quite a promineut democrat, in speak- de on this point yesterday, said:—‘Sammany, I ‘now, 18 doing @ good work in attempting to have Haveme, she 14 backed up by the community, tn a poiitical wense, if we must look at it in that way occasion- ally, it may redouna to her profit next November.

Tne Mayor’s letter to Commissioner Dis- becker yesterday morning was another in- stance of his overweening confidence in human nature and @ proof of the won- derful vein of humor that courses through bis being. It reminded the Commissioner of bis promise to resign when called upon and re- quested him to do so, If this is not the very “es- sence of Ole Virginny” one will have to travel to Greenland to find it. Men are not made Police Commissioners every aay, and the Mayor would have to wet up very early in the moruing to be able to induce a gentleman once made a Commis- stoner to doif the dignity and give up the pay, to Sav nothing of the perquisites. x. Disbecker did not resign hts place. The Meeting of the Board took place at three o’clock in the afternoon. ‘The Commissioners were no sooner assembled than @ determina- tion was arrived at to admit the mem- bers of the press. This was meant to give each Commissioner an opportunity of excus- | img himself to the public for tne stand he | had taken in its affairs and the uberty he had used | With its patience. Mr. Matseli assumed the chair | as the meeting was an adjourned one trom the | day before, ie was proposed for President vy | Mr. Voorhis in a few words, and Mr. Disbecker explained that as the position of President in the Board had been held by two republic- ans ‘following each other in the last Board, he had considered ita matter of right and privilege that it should continue to him, as the only repub- lican now in the Board; but as the other Commis- | Stoners did not seem to look upon the matter in the same light, and were disposed to hold out | against his claim, he considered it his duty to the | public to break the deadlock that had existed for | his title to the position | | the past week and give u| for the present. He did that solely | TO PROMOTE HARMONY | in the Board and the best Interests of the Police | Department. It was not @ question of personal benefit that hela nim so firmly to the position he had taken, but one of allegiance to the party he belonged ‘to and that trusted him. When he found the public service might suffer from an ad- | herence to an idea of rignt in principle, decided that the idea should be sa ed the general good, and that alone should have the first consideration. He had great confidence in the experience and long intimacy With police matters of Commissioner Matsell, and he was most happy to vote for him as President of | the Boara. Mr. MATSELI satd, in replying to Mr. Disbecker, that the Commissioner was righ} in saying he was @ democrat, but while he was in harness he was | nothing but a policeman, He found quite enough in the requirements of the force to occupy all | one man’s attention, and he always endeavored to | give it all he haa. } ae VooRHIs said he belonged to one party—the | peopie. Mr. DissECKER applauded that and added, “Then | you and lare together, for we belong to the same he to ty.’ "The vote for President was then taken, and | | stood for Matsell—Disbecker, Voorhis, Matsell, | aye; Duryee, no. | Commitsioner DISBECKER then moved that Gen- eral Abraham Duryee be elected Treasurer of the Board of Police. President MATSELL said he was most willing to vote for the General, as he thought he would make an attentive and capable one. General DuryYkE said he would conduct the | affairs of the office to the best of his ability. | A vote was taken, and Commissioner Duryee was elected Treasurer unanimously. Mr. HAWLEY suggested there was a large amount of routine business to be done, and the President requested the representatives of the press to withdraw. The most cordial good feeling existed in the Board during the session, and she Commissioners | performed their duties tn periect harmony. When the minor routine matters were disposed of the Board selected its committees. ‘That on Finance includes the Treasurer as chair- mau and the whole Board. Commissioners Disbecker, Duryee and Voorhis constitute the Street Cleaning Committee. The Committee on Rules and Disctpline consists ot Cummissioners Vooriis and Duryee.

West HaMptos, L. I., July 9, 1974. General Pinckney, the Clerk of the Common Council, waited on Governor Dix at West Hamp- ‘ton this evening at eight o’clock, and pre- sented the resolutions adopted on Wednesday by the Board of Aldermen. The Governor said he pos- | had seen the report of the action of the Aldermen | tting control | already, and was expecting the documents | presented. He said that in this case he should pursue the same line of conduct which is the rule in regard to the removal of sheriffs and other officials of that class, benoeee” he would send copies of the charges to Mayor Have- meyer and ask for an explanation. If such ex- planation was not satisfactory the Governor would then couvsider whether or not it was a proper — case to send before a court. In reply to the | HERALD represeatative the Governor stated that he had aiready taken action alittee headed by Messrs. Kelly, Clinton and Jack- son, and his private Secretary was now in New York, whither he bad been sent to promulgate the Governor’s decision, which will be made public to-morrow (Friday). Governor Dix added that his power of removal is limited, and he should be guided by circumstances. His action, however, would be prompt. Tne Governor was very anxious to hear the | news regarding the latest appomtments of Mayor Havemeyer, especially as to what was done about Gardner aud the Excise Commissionership, as | Well a3 the appointment of Mr. Matsell to the | Police Board, | Speaker Husted was here this evening to se | the Governor. | The Governor has granted a respite of three | months to Hiram Smith, sentenced to be nangad | at Watertown ou the 24th inst, | pasoiseir a | The | | Views Muddle. Mayor Havemeyer was interrogated regarding bis sending a letter to Commissioner Disbecker, Tequesting bis resignation.

He had not received any reply thereto, nor did ne expect any.

His alm was then to conciliate all parties, balance the power of the democrats with | that of republicans, and thereby obtain honest jegisiation, In regard to the action of the Board of Aluermen, the Mayor says that he is not surprised. But, under no consideration, will he resign, He will not be driven out of his office nor from the stand he has taken. He would be very giad if he | could get away aud spend his summer in some cool spot. It 18 no easy matter to sign 1,200 or | 1,600 warrants a day, which he takes home every night and has ready by next morsing. No one need walt for their Money. Besides that he receives ordinances from the Common Council, woich it would be an easy thing sign, but, as he has been placed in his "office to look ont jor the interest of the city, he must closely scan these measures.

Weary Waiting of the Wistful Astronomers— Faint Glimpses of the Tail—What Science Has Done for the Masses. Owing to the cloudy state of the heavens last evening there was no satisfactory display of the comet. This extraordinary heavenly phenome- non has given rise to @ marvellous differ- ence of opinions among men of even superior in- telligence in regard to her character and purposes. ‘The old superstition that comets are the signs of woe and evil to mankind is not entirely dissipated. ‘The tradition that a comet predicts mischief and unhappiness to the race of Adam is not quite eradicated. | { WHAT SCIENCE HAS DONE. Science has done so much in the way of relieving the jears o1 the masses in regard to the effect of a comet bucking her head against the pianet on which we live that no apprehension prevails on the score of a collision between the two bodies. Science says to the comet “we can stand it if you can.” Just so. Parkhurst, who is hand and glove with the comet, states that one of the race bucked her head against tis sphere two years ago and nobody knew of it. is right. There must be @ great controlling en- gineer of this illimitable universe or else the small sphere of earth on which we reside—small by com- parison with the other rolling planets of the solar system—might have long since been destroyed by some of the 4,000 comets which have shot through our atmosphere since the days of Julius Cxsar.

If the congrega- | tions can stand it the comet can have no reason to complain. | RURAL LIGHTS ON THE COMPT, | The Dndley Observatory in Aibany communicates wondertui discoveries in astronomy. | It may ve interesting to learn from this source | how the Coggia comet came originally to be dis- covered. It seems that about 4 year ago, through the exerti of Prolessor Henry, of the Smith- sonian Institution, and sir G B. Astronomer oval of England, ‘aph companies of this count urope offered to forward any information concerning the discoveries of comets and asteroids to all Ooservatories gratuiiousiy. Consequently on the morning of Aprii 18 the Dudley Observator; received from the Smithsonian Institution the fol- lowing teiegram :—“Comet, Coggia, Marseilles ; six- thirty north, sixty-eight forty-nine, faint, south.’ ‘This was a copy of a telegram sent free over the | cable trom the Greenwich Observatory, which is the distributing station for England, to the Smith- sonian Institution, which sends the information to all American observatories.

THE RESULTS OF SCIENTIFIC OBSERVATIONS. The expeditions departing and on their way to ob- serve the transit of Venus have made great inroad upon the scientific corps im all parts of the coun- try, depriving ‘Old Codger’? of many zealous friends. Yet your correspondent was aasured that all the satisiactory work that could be expected of astronomers in regard to the comet would not be known until long after the stranger had passed from earthly view and had ceased to be @ news- paper sensation, “All that we will be able to give,” said Professor Holden, ‘could be given in seven lines of HERALD type.
