TIE NrU PoLIcE COMMIs; IoNTns.-'rh Board still
meets Mt Mr.. Draper office, with closed doors, and
has thus far been chiefly engaged with the elaboration
Of details preparatory 10 an intelligent and Systematic
discharge of is official duties. No appointments have
been made other than those Of Supernten and hs
Secretary, and that Of Deputy" Superintendent
which was offered TO Chief Matsc and declined.
The Commissioners claim that at least three quarters,
or vast and countless orty," of the Police force
of this city and Brooklyn ready to espouse their
cause whenever they take proper and decided step
to exercise he entire functions conferred upon them
by the act The fact is, this is now a question
with tie incumbent police not Of politics but Of pay;
and doubtless whenever the success of the new
regime seems TO them more bright than that of
the DID, they will at transfer their allegiance TO
the former on demand. The prospective advance in
the pay Of policemen TO $500 per annum, under the
new act, will, of course, not be without effect d. Il
preliminary inducement. In their late explorations
through the Police Department, the new Commission
say they found the men dcporaby ignorant of the
fact that the law contompates advance in their
salaries; they also found them aboriug under firm
mprc sion that they would all he removed to man,
if the appointing power changed hands whereas the
Comm sioners state that all good men will not be dis
turbed So il the private conferences Of Mayor
Wood in his office with police captains had object
additional 10 what the public has supposed. The
satraps were charged with keeping their subordnatcs
in proper frame of mind, aud with correcting any
outside information that may have reached them ia
vorabe to The Commissioners under the late net.
On Saturday, the Commissioners delivered to Super
nendent Tallmadgc printed copies Of the Rules and
regulations for the general government of the Metro
pot0n Police District Of the State Of NewYork, -
which are essentially The rules at present in Use in the
department being modified 70 suit the new act-wth
instructions TO serve them at each StatiOn-house in
this city and brooklyn, aud also on Deputy Matsel
at his Office The Superintendent proceeded to Brook
ln and distributed the papers there, while his Secre
tary, Mr. Brevoort. did the same thing in Newl ork.
Mr. Talmadge also called Deputy Matsel, aud di.
reccd him to have the rules enforced throughout
the city, which the Deputy declined doing The refu
ssl Of Mr. Matsell TO obey orders was reported to
the Commissioners at late hour in the afternoon be-
fore they adjourned and it is said he will be examined
on that charge to-day ard mcst probably dismissed at
once II So this viii be the first arrangement under
the new act. II will be understood that though Mr.
Matsell ignores his appointment as Deputy he has not
formally declined serving sndis therefore considered
as holding the office in point of fact.
MIR Brevoon relates few incidents in connection
with his ''tour" among the Statcn-llouses on Satur-
day that are slightly amusing In some cases he found
the captains "out but in others he saw them person
ally; few received him politely and promisedto give
the new regulations careful looking over.
Capt. Mckinney of the Thirteenth Ward, late sp-
pointment of the old Board, inquired, Whats it
is it wud? there's nobody but Wuds got anything to
do whit in Newly ark, al oil. at all
In the Twenty-second Ward Capt Writer'S Dis
rict he found the men playing dominoes ia the Sis,
oniIouse but his arrival with the rules in hand had
the effect Of blocking the game. for this healthy spe-
cies Of amusement was instantly given over.
