we must remember that the vote in the city was
a small one the election going almost by de-
fault We must therefore, fall back upon the
recent municipal election if we hope for a full
expression of the opinion Of this metropolis
upon the Metropolitan Police bill and all the
other black republican legislation at Albany
lest year. The vote of the opposition approves
that legislation; the people Of this city have, of
their own free will and accord acceded to all
the invasions of the central power upon their
municipal rights and franchises.
Under these circumstances we do not believe
that the new Legislature will disturb any of
the measures adopted last year, but we think
that they will rather be strengthened by new
acts, founded upon the same general principles.
It is true, that after year or two, the people
of the oity-fnding that under the government
of Mr.. Tiemann the taxes will not be diminish
ed, but rather increased to nine or ten millions
per annum-may reverse the decision of last
Tuesday; but before that reversion can take
place the policy of the new coalition will have
been entirely formed and placed in working
order. We shall then suffer from a greater in
crease of taxation, more misgovernment, more
complications in the departments, more frauds
by irresponsible officers, more trouble and dis
tress politically and socially, than have ever
been known here before.

THE RECENT MUNICIPAL ELECTION Vito
WAS DErEArEDs-The newspapers throughout
the country are discussing the subject Of The
recent municipal election in this city with as
much gravity as If it had been an election for
the Presidency. They look upon this contest
for Mayor az matter OF as much consequence
az IL the issue had been the Presidency Of the
United States A mere Mayor, not worth over
a dollar pound in the very greatest expansion
of the paint and political market Some of the
small politicians. who never can see beyond
the ends of their noses, endeavor to show that
the election was merely personal contest be-
tween Mr. Wood and Mr.. Tiemann. These mar
row minded persons are in the minority,
however, the leading journals all over
the country looking upon the election
as great political contest, In which
the whole force Of the democracy was brought
TO bear on one side, and the entire strength of
the opposition on the other IL il in this light
that the matter is viewed by every one Of the
leading opposition newspapers throughout the
United States II was therefore a regular old
fashioned contest between the democracy %
one side, and the combined factions of the OF
position on the other. and its result IL only the
foundation for the grand programme Of the OPP
position to the democracy which is TO be worked
ont for the Presidential election Of 1860. This
opposition having succeeded in overcoming
the democratic party in this city. will
now make this fortress Of the democra-
cy the central point upon which they
will rally all their forces throughout
the free States, and complete the organization
of the new party which has just sprung into ex
istencc. The recent municipal election. then.
resulted in a complete defeat Of tls democratic
party in It's stronghold defeat accomplished,
in part. by the very men who have been APP
pointed to Office by President Buchanan-men
who now hold places Of honor and profit In the
Custom House and Post Office Of this city.
They were assisted. also by one or more mem
beers Of the next Congress, elected by democratic
votes II is not necessary TO name these men.
While II is absurd to attempt to deny the fact
that the democracy have been overthrow here,
IL is also quite clear that the success Of the COM
bination Of the odds and ends Of the
opposition involves an endorsement by
the people OF this city Of the black re-
publican legislation at Albany last winter II
is true that the result Of the State election in
November was considered in some degree, ar a
rebuke to the originators Of that legislation; but

COMMERCE. AND PUBLIC REyENUEs.-The fall
ing off in the public revenues from customs
duties at this port during the past two months
exceeds seven millions of dollars There is
similar falling off everywhere and there is no
prospect that, for the next half year, business
will 80 largely improve as to make up the de-
fciency, or any considerable portion of it.
The prospect at present is that the deficiency
this year-namely, the difference between the
estimated and the actual revenue-will be
nearer twenty than eleven millions, which was
Mr.. Cobb's estimate; and that application will
need to be made to Congress at an early date
for permission to issue either treasury notes or
United States stock to provide for the expenses
of the current year.
This accident is of little consequence to us,
who are generally too far on the other side of
the account; but how will it tell on the govern
ments of Europe? We learn that the falling off
in the revenue of France during the first month
of the revulsion-the only month concerning
which we have returns-exceeded two millions
of francs, some twenty-five per cent of the total
receipt. We presume that the decline in the
years income will in fact rather exceed than
run short of twenty-five per cent.
A similar decline in public revenues must be
expected in England, Germany, and indeed all
European countries. England may require a
loan for her home expenses, Independent of her
Indian war; France can hardly get along with
out one. These grand parties at Compiegne
must after all, be paid for. At what rate new
European loans, predicated on decline in ma
tional revenues, would be taken, who would
take them, and how the announcement would
strike the public and affect national credit, the
reader may conjecture for himself

1859. The last Legislature, it is true, fixed last
be elected, but in that act there is no mention
made Of any alteration in the time or the tenure
of the Office. The Mayor is elected. "a usual.
for two years; and under the previous decisions
Of the courts he could not be deprived of his
place by the Legislature, unless the Office of
Mayor was abolished. Under the new charter
that officer is continued, the term of Office
remaining intact The logical deduction is,
therefore, that Mayor Woods term does not ex-
pire until January, 1859.
This being the state Of the case, what will
Mr. Wood do? Will he relinquish his place on
New Years day under the construction Of the
law, given by good counsel, to the effect that he
can legally hold it, We suppose that the
friends Of Mr.. Tiemann will insist upon his
taking the Office on the first day of the coming
year But if Mr.. Wood holds on, he cannot be
ousted without writ of quo worranto, which
must be issued by the Attorney General of the
State. Now, it happens that this officer, Mr..
Gushing, looks upon the whole Albany legisla-
ton of last year, with regard to this city, as
outrageous and unconstitutional upon our mu-
nicipal rights The successor of Mr.. Gushing
was elected upon the same principle. In this
dilemma it is apparent that, if Mr.. Wood chooses,
he may retain his place, to which he is legally
entitled, and defend that title at all hazards and
against all contingencies What will the three
or four cliques say to this view of the case!
