While il is true that there has been some
excitement here in consequence OF the sni-
tia,iou of proceedings looking to the removal
of the Police Commissioners by Gov. Swami.
and while il is also true that there Is much
anxiety and much speculation aud discus sion
"a to the result Of the pending proceedings,
there mas yet been NO serious disturbance OF
the peace nothing that could be truthfully
characterized asa mob or a riot, Beyonda
few alterations and angry discussions, and
personal collisions, resulting in no serious IN
Jury, and IN one case In the tearing down OF
Il bulletin board OF an afternoon paper, yes
icraav, by lew riotously disposed Repubh-
cans, there has really been nothing oil d riot
uus character to report
To-day the city has beef remarkably quiet
The motions Of the Governor have indeed
been the subject OF much comment, but have
caused no excitement. Tonight meetings
are being held nj various points by the Boys
in Bine Lincoln Iuvincibles. and other like
organizations OF the Republicans Similar
meeting Tor organisation have also been held
or are being held by the Conservatives and
Democrats but all these meetings were called
before the proclamation WAS issued, aud
therefore cannot be regarded rs having any
particular reference to 1t, though no doubt
some of these gatherings viii discuss the
questions raised by the Governor. The gen
fri
pe is that even should the Governor derfde
to remove the Commissioners, and appoint
others 10 succeed them, there need not nee
essarliy be resort to violent measures. The
case would then, 1t IL supposed, come regu
larry before the courts in the shape of q man
damtts, and the whole question would then
have to be settled by formal trial. and
most likely it weuId finally be taken to the
Court of Appeals
The Police Commissioners have been noti-
hed by the Governor that the examination OF
witnesses will be commenced on FRIDAY 1t
is believed, however that the Commissioners
will not he present. even by counsel, at tine
examination, as they have determined not to
acknowledge the right Of the Governor to try
the case
