THE STREET COMMISSIONER CASE DECIDED AT
LAsr.-The Court Of Appeals have decided in
favor of Mr.. Devln's claim 10 the Office of
Street Commissioner. He is therefore now the
lawful incumbent of that Office, and Governor
Kings appointee-Mr. Conover-is ousted.
Governor King, it appears, made q fatal mis-
take when he took the appointing power from
the hands Of Mayor Wood .and assumed it him
self.
1t only now remains for Mr.. Devlin to enter
the Street Commissioners Office and turn Mr..
Conover out, when, very probably, there will be
another breeze in that locality. For some days
past, however, several grave charges have been
pending against DR. Devln; and as The Mayor
has right under The charter to remove the
Street Commissioner for cause, it remains to be
seen whether Mr. Tiemann will remove Dcvlin
on these charges, and appoint u new Street
Commissioner in bis stead.

The EUROPEAN MAILs.-The statement that the

Department at Washington for the conveyance Of
the European mails today at the Departments
Gown terms" Is wholly erroneous. The terms de-
manded were the same as paid to the Collins line,
and at no time has tender been made to the Post

whatever. The only proposition made to the Post
master came from the agent Of the City Of Balti-

THE CANAL ENARGEMEST--We are glad to

loan Of three and half millions subject TO o
vote by the people, for che purpose Of compet-
ing the enlargement Of the Erie canal, becoming
State law before the adjournment of the Lcgis-
lsture 1t Ia due to the greatness and future
promise Of New York that there should be no
hanging back In this matter, but that the work
should be completed as soon as possible, and
every facility afforded to the people of the West
to use our lines Of internal communication Ia
preference to those Of our neighbors. There is
no doubt but The canal expenditure causes much
corruption; but it is better that few rogues
should cheat us at home than that the trade of
the State should pass into the hands of Pennsyi-
vsnia, Maryland and Canada
On Monday next Senator Slows ridiculous
proposal TO tax the railroads for the purpose Of
completing the canals will receive its quietus in
the Senate IL is to he hoped that the action Of
this Senator, in thus gratuitously proposing TO
transfer our trade to Pennsylvania, Maryland
and Canada, VIII not pass without reward from
those States. lie deserves medal from each Of

THE BusTEED AND Carr INDICrNEST.-we have
received long letter from Mr. Thomas n. Carr
addressed TO Mr.. Busleed the Corporation Coun-
sci, detailing at length number Of incidents
and movements Of the Corporation Counsel as
public officer Of vast interest to the taxpayers
of this unhappy city. II will be recollected that
Mr. Busteed obtained on indictment for libel
against Mr.. Carr for previous letter. which
appeared In our columns, containing some stric
lures on bis conduct In relation to street assess
ments. If the statements in that letter laid the
foundation for one good solid indictment, those
contained in the one which we have now re-
ceived furnishes machinery and matter for a
hundred and fifty. II details number of cases
of the most remarkable character, which can be
better brought up in the trial to come Of on the
indictment for libel nexteFeek before the Court
Of Sessions. II is only NECESSARY for Mr.. Carr to
bring up witnesses to establish the allegations
contained la his new statemcnt-which we do
not publish-in regard to the public conduct of
the Corporation Counsel connected with street
assessments and other official duties; and II they
are proved they will throw greatitight on the
causes which swell our taxes TO horrible de-
gree, and will show the conduct of our public
officers in an aspect which will astonisb the com
munity beyond anything they have yet seen.
Therefore we prefer to delay its publication,
and wait till the indictment comes up for trial
before the Court of Sessions next week, when
number of witnesses will be able to tell their
own lamentable tales of the mode and system
by which taxes and assessments are laid on the
unfortunate inhabitants Of this city. Mr..
Whiting, the terrier dog of the treasury, is the
counsel for Mr.. Carr, and when the case comes
on there will probably be scenes.
