The New York Police Difficulty.

The New York papers of yesterday morning as
well as The day before, are filled with accounts of
The unfortunate collision between the black repub
can and the regular municipal police of that city on
Tuesday last. The Journal of Commerce, in lis
tenn crate report of this long expected occurrence,
remarks:
&C The conduct of the new police commissioners
in sending force of their men to arrest The mayor
i in keeping with the general folly and hardihood Of
their policy from The outset They might have known
as we'll as The recorder that, in the present excited
state Of popular feeling, popular disturbance would
certainly ensure; and also, as the mayor and com
mon council do not recognise the authority Of the
new police, that the municipal force would prevent
them from arresting the mayor. The blame of the
unfortunate encounter must rest the recorder and
the new commissioners, who were rash enough to
force such an issue with the city authorities al SO
critical juncture. The commissioners must have
been aware what sort of treatment would be served
out to their men, and it was act of wanton cruelty
to the latter 10 expose them TO perls from which it
is fortunate that they escaped with their lives"

While we have little doubt that the democratic nart

Congress will be highly important in its deliberations

seer to say. The administration is charged with
weighty trusts; the nation expects much OF it AMI
have every assurance that it will prove fully equal
to its responsibilities, unless it is embarrassed and
annoyed by an opposition majority in the House Of

The influence of the late election in Virginia will
have sauary effect upon those TO take place in An
