CENTRAL PARK.-At length we have the So
tisfaction Of announcing the confirmation of
the report of the Commissioners on the Central
Park. For some weeks the matter has been
hanging by the eyelids, in consequence of va.
rious small obstacles; even now there are par
ties who have little to de- and who are men Of
such strong faith that they contest the decision
still. But we believe there is no doubt these
murmurs and discontents will end where they
began; and their authors will come at last to
admit that, though their plan was not followed,
the Park itself is no such bad thing
The only regret New Workers will feel in
seeing the question set at rest, is that it was
not done twenty years ago. A quarter of 3
century ago, Park mig hit have been laid out
above Fourteenth street at far less cost than
we shall pay for the Central Park; and had it
been done, New York would have now been by
far the most beautiful, and perhaps the
healthiest, city in America. Better late than
never, however. Let us be thankful for the
Central Park, tardy as it has been in coming.
If the Commissioners lose no time now, in
completing the surveys and ornamental woIl =
which are in contemplation, our wives and
children may have q decent place to walk
about in, and workmen wholesome spot where
they may breath the fresh air, before the end
OF the year eighteen hundred and fifty-seyen.

RESURRECTION OF THE PROHTBIT0RY LAW
There is public functionary in New York
named Judge Capron, and he has just charged
Grand Jury. Where this Judge has spent
the last six months of his life-whether he has
been plunged into Rip Van Wrinkle sleep,
out Of which he was suddenly awakened to
astonieh the Grand Jurors in the Court Of
General Sessions; whether he has resided in the
Sandwich Islands or Japan, and returned
home by mail the'day before this charge, or
whether he is professionally wag and would
have his joke out Of the Grand Jury, we are
wholly unable to say. But one thing is GER
tain: the audience of the Court of General
Sessions, in all its experience, never found it
harder to preserve its gravity than when this
Judge Capron took in hand on Monday to lay
before the jury his notions of the Prohibitory
law. We have all of us very clear remem
brance of this curious statute. Most of US re-
collect how it was said by the country folk
to be o cure-all, and passed and signed in due
form; and how, the very day it was to 60 into
effect, judges and juries and authorities and
police all agreed that it did not apply to large
fed and cheerfully buried by the people Of
New York. We think of it as we do of the
United States Bank, and the bill for the adj
mission Of Texas, and the Protective tariffs
and the diabolical treason of Col. Burr.
Well, this Judge Capron, no later than Mon
day, actually rises in court and says to his
jury: Gentlemen, this Prohibitory statute is
<bn Low IS %ho r ~ IN pfDro
it. Such and such are its provisions; you
must do so and so if complaints are laid be-
fore you, for I suspect the law is occasionally
violated. You may have heard some people
say that the law is unconstitutional and void;
this is idle talk. You must find bills against
the rumsellers. Changing briskly from this
to the pathetic, he bursts forth-we give his
words uerbatm els there no balm in Gilead :?
Is there NO physician there?' We are lett in
doubt as to whether the Gileadites are really
in want of physic and proper medical attend
ance; for the Judge, turning from them ab-
ruptly and sadly, appeals "kindly and most
respectfully" to the jury, and implores them
to have the Prohibitory law executed in the
city as it is in the green hills and fruitful val
leys. All that is required Of them to &C
eomplish this end is to turn informers and
present few leading offenders. Judge Capron
is careful to let them know that they need not
hear evidence on the point; their own observa-
ton suffices.
We notice that the Hon. James Harper, ex-
Mayor, is foreman Of the jury. Fancy his in
forming, Of his own observation, against the
Aston House, the Irving, the Metropolitan, the
New York hotels! Fancy man in Judge
Capron's position talking such bosh as this at
the present day
