TIE NEW YORK MUNICIPAL Row NOT YET FIN
lsHED In order to understand the following, which
find in the Express of the goth, is necessary to
state that Mr. Conover claims the office of Street
Commissioner under authority of the Metropolitan
Commission, and Mr.. Devlin under the Municipal
authority:
The Street Commissioners case took different
tnrn on Saturday The Conoyer party, temporarily
defeated on Friday. are now apparently triumphant.
Judge Davies, early Saturday morning, discharged
the writ OF certiorari which he had granted, taking
the proceedings from Judge Peabody, and issued
writ of sttpersedeas accordingly. Judge Peabody
then Immediately signed the warrants Of arrest and
search, applied for by Conover's counsel The former
was placed in the hands Of Deputy Sheriff Vultee,
who arrested Mr.. Devlin for contempt of court-he
having refused to obey the order to give up the books
of the Street Commissioners ofice-and committed
him close prisoner to Eldrdge street jail where he
still remains The search warrant was entrusted to
Constable harrington, who Immediately proceeded to
execute it, and brought half the books into the court
when he stopped by an injunction issued on ap.
pication of Mr.. Busteed, by Judge Ingraham of the
Court of Common Pleas. Judge Peabody Thea con-
signed the books already in court to the care of Harry
Bertholf until Tuesday. Mr.. Couover, meanwhile,
went over to the Office of the Commissioner where
he violently put Mr.. Turner out of doors, and took
possession of Mr.. Deylin's seat. He was arrested
forthwith by Capt. Bennett and afterwards by Judge
Welsh, for breach of the peace, and remains in
charge OF policeman. So the matter stands at pre-
sent. r.

The crops in East Florida, we understand are excel

nearly made In the large county of Alachua it is
believed, owing TO the excellence Of the season and
the recent influx OF population the corn product of
this year will double that Of any previous. A yield
of fifty bushels per on some Of the best lands is
anticipated.
Cotton too, looks well, but is in great jeopardy

FROM. ST. HELENA PARIsH-The Greensburg I'M
perial of Saturday last says:
We have had shower nearly every day during
the past week, and yesterday and the day before
the atmosphere but we fear there has been entirely
too much rain for the good of planters, many OF
whom are already over head and ears in grass"
There will be third more raised in this parish
than ever before.
We yesterday received from Mr. J. L. Saunders, of
this parish, a boil of cotton of this years growth,
plucked from his field during the week. The boil is
fully developed and opened and were his whole field
in the same state of forwardness he would be able
commence picking in about ten or fourteen days.

WHERE is IT TO END ?-The New York Tribune
publishes the proceedings of recent German mass
meeting in that city, at which incendiary speeches
were made and incendiary resolutions offered. The
meeting was upon the occasion OF the funeral of a
German killed in one of the late riots and the Tri
bune says: ss;.,..
His neighbors insist upon avenging him. not as an
American but as German martyr. At once German
mobs are organized to destroy those who falsely
supposed to be the murderers Of Muller 1t is insisted
that the Coroner, who is to investigate the death,
shall appoint majority of Germans upon his jury.
AT his funeral the same nationality is kept up.
The Trbude says, in continuation:
Atthis meeting, which was held in German thea
ter, Mr.. Schenecke, we are told, concluded an elo
quent address by expressing hope "that at the next
election the Germans would take the matter in hand
and vindicate their outraged rights Mr. Untschell,
German, declared that claws were utter nonsense
and folly A DR.. Merkle said; " The Germans must
not bear indifierently"
Now where is all this to end
10 this question the Express replies:
Where is it to end? What question to ask from
journal which omits no opportunity to assail its
American fellowctzens for organizing to resist just
such misconduct as this-and not, as the Tribune
says, by preventing any German citizen now in the
United States from voting, after he is naturalzed
The Tribune knows how to appeal to foreign igno
rance and passion during election, and it has ed
tors capable and willing Of utterng their addresses in
the German language against American citizens, who
seek their own protection and the welfare Of theil
country When the cry Of down with the id
other day, followed by cry against "the Metropol
tans, it was but natural response to the political
appeals of the Tribune. Those who SOW the wind
must expect to reap the whrlwind.

q THE CASE OF LIEUT. MAFFIrT-We find the fol-
lowing very emphatic and highly complimentary re-
port Of the proceedings before the Naval Court of
Enquiry at Washington, in the case Of Lieut. J. N
Maftt, who, it will be remembered, was one of the
victims of the Retiring Board:
Naval Court No. was crowded with spectators to-
day to hear the evidence of COmmodores Aulick and
McCauley, two Of the most distinguished officers in
the case Of Lieut.. Ma6itt. The questions were few
but comprehensive, and the answers were to the
point. Commodore Aulick thought Lieut.. Mafitt
was t to serve, not only first Lieutenant of ship
but in any capacity on board q man ofwar. COmno
dore McCauey considered him an officer of great in
telligence and would take him as the first Lieutenant
of his ship if he were going into action with an
enemy. 1t must be recollected that Lieut.. M. was
struck from the active service list and the line of pro-
motion because he had been for the last M cen years
detailed on coast survey SERVICE with only eight prior
sea service. Commodore McCauey thought this SER
vice well calculated to Improve not to degrade an
officer. It was a better school than man-of-war.
The latter was most of the time at sea, where there
was but little duty and less responsibility. In the
coast survey service there constant practice of
seamanship among shoals and rocks, and heavy re-
sponsibility. AT sea they had nothing but the
weather to watch The Judge Advocate asked, if
about going into battle he would risk his reputa-
ton on Lent Matitt as the first officer of his ship?
The Commodore answered promptly that he would.
What a commentary this on the Retiring Board.

Dobbins, was read in behalf of the claimant.
