The POLICE COMMISSIONERS AND THE CoURT
OF ArrxIs-From the tenor of an opinion de-
lvered to the Police Commissioners yesterday by
their counsel, there is every reason to believe
that the Board intends to deny each member of
the cd police the rights secured him by the re-
cent decision of the Court Of Appeals. 1t is al
most certain that the Board will compel each
man to prosecute a suit through the various
courts, contrasting each with the same pertinacity
with which they defended that of McCune, just
decided against them. This is the professed re-
spect for the courts and the law of which the
black republican Commissioners have boosted
policy which will entail countless thousands Of
additional expense for our already agonized tax.

The CLOSING DAYS or THE LEGISLATURE
The term Of one hundred days for the session Of
the Legislature allotted BY law, expired on We'd
nesday, the 18th inst, at which period the pay
Of the members ceased; but these gentlemen.
disinterested patriots as they are-have been
working for nothing since then, and will pro-
baby continue to do so to-day and tomorrow,
when it is presumed they will close their labors.
Up to last evening two hundred and sixty
eight bills had passed both houses and received
the executive approval, and 1t is remarkable, as
an illustration of the influence of the lobby, that
these acts did not number among them single
one Of the bills materially affecting the govern
ment or interests of this city, of which 80 many
have been introduced during the session. The
new charter for New York, whose infamous pro-
visions we have before analysed and condemned
the Fort Washington Avenue BILL the repeal of
the Metropolitan Police law, the tax levy for
this city, the twenty city railroad bills, the re-
moval of Quarantine, and the bill remodelling
our health department-some of which, if they
become law, would revolutionize our municipal
government-have been knocked about like
shuttlecocks In both houses. Some of them
passed in one house, were amended or wholly
rejected in the other; the amendments Of one
body were secuted by the other; some Of them
recommitted, and some reported upon adversely
in either house. This extraordinary difficulty
in getting any of these important bills through
shows the immense power brought to bear for
and against them by the largest and most vo-
racious lobby that ever hung upon the skirts Of
the Legislature, like hungry wolves on the con-
fines of battle field.
Two of the city railroad bills-those granting
charters to the Seventh avenue and avenue D
roads-in the absence of two railroad members
were killed in the Senate yesterday, greatly to
the dismay and rage of the lobby. 1t is still
possible, however, to reconsider the vote. The
others are still in allegiance, but will doubtless
he rushed to some final action in the last few
hours of the session.
So much for the fate of those bills most d.
rectly affecting the interests of this metropolis
up to this time. Other matters of Importance
to the State generally received the consideration
of the Legislature. The Registry bill, hybrid
anu HsuiiiclenI MeasuIe, uaS Passeu uotu uouscs
having met with marked opposition from the re-
publican country members, and in the face of
the mastery adverse report of Senator Mather.
The Supply bill, a mass of corruption and rot
tenness, is still the subject of furious contest
between few honest men and the whole horde
of greedy spoils hunters.
AS there are something like hundred report
ed bills still undisposed of, we can imagine what
indecent hurry will prevail during the conclud-
ing operations of the Legislature.

be concentrated at San Juan in short time will be
placed at his disposal and directed under his ORDERS
that should require that San Juan should
again be bombarded and all the towns in reach Of tho
squadron's guns should share the same fate.
The instructions also back up very strongly General
Casss despatch Of last August, and Martinez in
very unequvoca terms that this government will protect
the rights of the American Transit Company.
The government has definite resolved that the Transit
route shall be opened, and has issued circular to Me
