Judge Davies it will be SEEM has declined to con-
tnue the injunction against the Police Commits
sioners on the ground that Mayor Wood as a single
taxpayer, has no such interest in the matter as
will enable him to sustain suit in his own name
and without joining the other parties in interest.
As We take it that he has no right to drag those
other parties into lawsuit without their consent
because if he has, then every dissatisfied tax
payer would have at all times the same right,
which would lead to endless litiQxton-t would
seem that the scheme Of employing the Courts to
prevent the execution of the laws is likely to fail
That it ought to fail single consideration will
amply demonstrate.
Mayor Wood applies for and obtains an injunc-
ton to stop the operation Of the Police Commits sion
and in the mean time he requires the police to con-
tinue to obey his orders But if the act establishing
the Commission is valid then the old Board Of Police
is already extinct, and according to this new
method Of employing injunctions, what is to pre-
vent the new Commissioners or any other citizen who
sees fit, from applying to some Judge to restrain
Mayor Wood and his associates Of the old Board
from exercising powers which the law has taken
from them Sauce for the goose certainly is or
ought 10 be, sauce for the gander. If the new
Commissioners can be epjoincd from proceeding to
exercise power expressly conferred upon them by
an act Of the Legislature, till first il ia decided
that such act is constitutional there is certainly
hundred times as much reason why the Courts
should interfere by injunction to restrain the cxer-
else of an authority which All act of the Legisla-
'ure has expressly taken away-the continued ex-
ercise Of which is only based on the assumption
that the act of the Legislature is unconstitutional
1t is easy to see that, if this method of procedure
Is once established, twill soon be impossible to make
any change of any sort without the risk of the in
PRODUCTION of anarchy by the complete cloggng of
the wheels Of our municipal machinery. The
utmost extent Of authority that il was ever intended
to confer upon the Courts to the question Of the
validity and constitutlonslity Of laws. is to sustain
the private citizen sgainst the consequences Of

The state Of the beef cattle market still remains
a condition that should induce both producer and
consumer Of beef to think-One whether he can
afford to produce so little, and the other whether
be can afford to eat so much while bulocks sell at
such prices as they do now the particulars of
which may be found in our weekly report of this
important branch of trade in this city. For two
weeks the rates at which cattle have sold on foot
is equivalent to l21 to Ia cents for the meat in the
quarters, less the value of hides and fat, except
some of the coarsest and poorest animals While
paying these prices, notwithstanding the high rates
beef is reailed at butchers declare that they cannot
save themselves from loss, and if the present prices
of bullOcks continue they must quit business; for,
az they well aware, prices Of meat are already
a. high as their customers can bear-particuary
as none of them willing to eat anything
coarser or more common than a sirloin steak or
short rib roast. Offer a woman that comes into
market barefoot, because unable to buy pair OF
shoes, piece of neck, briskct, or flank, and ten to
one she will reply that "she don't eat dog meat;
and if she is poor she wants as good beef as any
body" 1t is this that makes first cuts so high.
But after ALL the only remedy for such burdensome
prices of beef is for all to resolve to eat less
til farmers produce more.

The Illinois, which arrived yesterday. brings the
wind.up of the illibustering operations on the
River San Juan-not merely in the shape of news,
but bodily, in the persons somewhat the worse for
wear Of goodly number Of the fllibusters.
Lockrdges men were all conveyed to Aspinwah
in two British frigstes whence they have been
shpped-much TO the relief Of the inhabitants Of
that place, who regarded their advent with no lit
tie alarm-some to this port and some to New
Orleans.
On the 10Th of April, some days after the de-
parture of the Tennessee from Greytown, Costa
Rican force from Castillo, commanded BY Colonel
Canty, an Englshman, made its appearance there in
the steamer Charles Morgan. The hlIbusters had
already given up their arms to the Mayor of Grey
town on an assurance Of being sent home. On
Colonel Canty's appearance, Scott, the agent of
the Transit Companies, both old and new, and
chief leader in the whole Nicaraguan mischief, was
summoned on board one Of the British frgstes to
meet the commander of the Costa Rican troops,
where an arrangement was made for Scott personal
safety and the protection of his 1--WE suppose pri-
vate) property on condition Of giving up Punta
Arenas to the Costa Ricans, who took possession
of the steamer Rescue and of number Of guns
and quantity Of ammunition
Col. Canty, having thus taken possession,
declared the river open, and communication with
the interior had once more been reestabshed.
Lockridge still remains at Greytown, intending,
perhaps, to go into partnership with Kinney.
No direct accounts have been received from
Walker though We have some further information
by way Of Costa Rica 1t appears that battle
ras fought on the 18th Of March, near st. George,
which Walker attacked with all his disposabe
force, throwing large number Of shot into the
town. In the afternoon he reiterated, greatly har
assed by Gen. Jerez, who subsequently occupied
San Juan del Sur. The allies admit a loss of %
killed and 60 wounded, but claim on the authority
of deserters, TO have inflicted much greater loss
on Walker. They, however, can better afford to
lose fifty than Walker to lose one The last ac
counts, down to the 18th of April, represent the
Costa Ricans as established within 400 yards of the
plaza of Rvas and ready to open fire upon it. Walk
ers men were said to be suffering both from hunger
and sickness. Desertions were frequent and the
speedy end of the enterprise was confidently
looked for.

We have at length distinct accounts Of the pre-
else demand made of the Government of New
Granada by way of indemnity for the Panama
riot.
In addition to pecuniary damages for the loss, in
ficted, Aspinwall and Panama were required to be
recognized as independent free cities, to share be-
tween them in the way of jurisdiction the terri
tory for width of ten miles on each side of the
railroad their neutrality to be guaranteed by New
Granada and the United States, and other nations
to be invited to join in the guaranty. New
Granada was also required to cede to the United
States two groups of islands in the bay of Panama
for naval station, and all her reSerred rights and
pririltges in the railroad for sum to be paid by
the United States
These propositions were psremptorily rejected by
the New-Granadian Government, which suggested,
however, a negotiation, to which England and
France should be parties, for complete guaranty
of the safety of the nteroceanic route on the basis
of perfect equality to all nations but saving the
territorial sovereignty to New-Granada.
The American Commissioners reply to this very
reasonable suggestion that they have no powers,
adding that the road belongs to American citizens,
as does most of the property that passes over it.
Finally, they wind up in a pet by demanding
s4OO, 900 in the way of damages; to which the
New-Granadans retort BY a similar claim of
$4,000, beside apologies for the insoent conduct
ana proved falsehoods of Consul Ward and the in
decent behavior of Commander Bailey toward the
Governor of Panama.
On the whole, the correspondence is quite rich,
though We must confess that on paper, the New.
Granadians have decidedly the advantage. We do
not we'll see how our Government is going to evade
the suggestion that if any provisions are to be
made for the safety and neutrality Of the transit,
the Governments of France and England ought to
be made parties to the negotiation.
