TIE Common Council, on Fria:y night, con-
firnel, by = vote OF 23 to 9, the Mayors uomina-
tious for Police Commissioners. Tho backbone
men presented themselves to vote to retain
Hokks aud Reno. Mcssrs. Mason and Wright,
the ncwly-appo1nted Commissioners, will meet
on Monday. It is possible that Messr5. Klokle
and Reno will oppose their occupation Of the
police headquarters, and may call upon the
police to disobey the orders Of the new Board.
1t is to be hoped, however, that they will at
tempt no disorderly proceedings OF that kind.
Mr. Sheridan, who il legally member Of the
Board, will now have an opportunity Of dacid-
ing whether he will obey the Law, and recognize
the authority Of all branches OF the
City Government, or follow hlokke in
his pot-house rebellion. The opportunity
now being afforded Mr.. Sheridan, a rea~
sonab.o exercise of good sense on his
part will lead him to meet With tho other Com
missioners, and act on the business which has
accumulated during the last month. The public
interests are suffering for the official action Of

them or not, the new Commissioners will find
abundance Of work for daily sessions for at least
d week.
The public have reason to be thankful that
this trouble has resulted in ths triumph Of Law
and order, and in the enforcement Of authority.
There is not, at this time, O respectable member
OF the police force who does not recognize the
authority of the Mayor and Of the new Board.
In few days, the whole machinery OF the Police
Department will be in operation again, and un-
der Board OF Commissioners that will feel it to
be their duty to enforce law, and maintain order
instead of tramp1ing upon both.

There is movement among the merchants Of
New York and Brooklyn looking to the uniting
of the two cities. There is Brooklyn COM
mittee OF ten prominent gentlemen who have
the matter in charge, it having been decided
that it would be better to inaugurate the mat
ter as Brooklyn movement. It is said that the
project receives favorable consideration from
business men in both cities, and that the .oppo-
sition comes principally from the small polti-
clans Of Brooklyn who fear the loss Of their
present influence. The movement has gone 80 far
that the New York Legislature will be petitoned
to appoint commission, consisting Of citizens
from Brooklyn and New York City, to report a
bill for annexation On conditions just to both
cities. The advantages, both commercial and
political, are of an obvious character, and the
two cities Will be one, more than ever, after the
completion Of the bridge aeross the East River.
1t is intimated, indeed, that this work can never
be finished until annexation shall give an equal
Interest in the enterprise for both cities. It is
entirely probable that the time ia not far distant
when Brooklyn and Nav York will be one city in
government as they are already in fact

Thare are few men possessed of sufficient
Judgment and moral courage to resist the temp
tation Of u crown. Amadeus, Of Spain, pre-
scented notable exception to the rule. At the
very same time he YVES running away from
roya1 place to which he WAS fully entitled, an
obscure Frenchman was besieging this Theirs
Government to recognize his claims as the mon
arch OF La Nouvelle, France. II. de Tounens
was his name in his former estate Of Bourgeoisie.
He WAS lawyer, and lived in the south Of
Trance. As the south Of France is where most
inyalids seek health, NJ. Tounens naturally left
it when he became an invalid. He went south
OF South America, and found = couple OF savage
lands, known as Araucania and Patagonia, where
not even the Spanish priests nor the Spanish
goid-hunters had penetrated. Here be dig
covered tribes Of hostile sa7ases, whose
amusements and business we're combined
in mutual efforts to exterrinate each
other. II. Tounens WAS not content to permit
them to carry out this worthy purpose, but con-
stituded hluself q peace-maker, and talked to
them Of milder pursuits. Aa punishment for
his interference, they elected him King; he as
au1ned the title OF Orelie-Antoine l., and dec1ar-
ed himself monarch Of all the Araucsniaus and
Pstagonians. It seems that Chill hsd some
claims On his dominion, seized the citizen
King, and put him in jail, where they
kept him for I YEAR or two. After
this experience, H. Tounens thought
he would like tohave brief respite from royalty,
and went b.ck to France. He arrived Just ut

On Saturday afternoon there was conveyed to
the Morgue the body OF young man which had
been taken out OF the East River at the loot OF
FortyfOurth street. 1t bore traces Of having been
IN the water for some days, and was thereby some-
what difficult OF identification. Mr.. White, the
keeper OF the Morgue, found a letter and other
papers on the body that appeared to indicate
where the friends OF the deceased might
be found, and he forwarded them to
Coroner Kessler yesterday, who had previously
held an inquest, with the usual result of "Found
drowned" These papers were seen by the press
reporters at the COFoner's office, and one Of them
brought them to the HERALD olice where it was

Judges however placed Mitchell last ana took out
the driver, substituting apother in his place. He
refusing to act, they were compelled to call on
Dan Jenkins who agreed to act, but not having had

Examin atiOn-Dr. TaylOr's Evidence.
The examination in the case OF Mrs. Sarah L.
Layman, who is alleged to have attempted to cut
her husbands throat the LIST instant at Astoria
was resumed yesterday at Astoria. Mr.. James W.
Covert, counsel for the prisoner, resumed the
examination OF Mr.. Layman, who has almost en-
tirely recovered from the effects Of his wound. A
large number OF letters were submitted to the
Court, all Of them relating to Mr.. Layman's past
lIfe, and the most of them admitted by him to he
genuine, but none of them were read. After Mr.
Covert had closed his cr0ss-examnation
Mr. F. E. Blackwell, counsel for Mr.
hayman resumed the direct examine nina;
part OF the evidence. Mr.. Layman was residing in
Nortnport, l.. l., at the time. The letter is as fol-
lows:-

DR.. TAYL0RS EVIDENCE.
BY Mr.. BLACKWELL am q physician; reside in
Astoria; nave practised medicine nine years; saw
Mr.. Layman about nine O'Clock on the 1st of July;
found quite flesh wound on his throat; should
Judge the wound was produced by sharp instru-
ment; the length OF the wound was about two and
half inches; could not say as to the exact depth
OF it the wound was not dangerous; If IL had eX,
tended further back and been sufficiently deep It
would have caused death; it was Dot ragged
wound; In my judgment the instrument used
would produce death If used 10 some vital part;
the wound could have been made by a razor
BY Mr. Covert could hot say as to the depth OF
the wound, Psd dld not.measure 1t; 1t was only
flesh wound; II his head as you say, had been
forced back, and the neck strained still think
razor would have made it think it was cut from
the outside, the instrument coming out at the
trachea; at first thought the wound was produced
by dgU instrument, but l subsequently changed
MY opinion.
Mr. Covert asked the Doctor II he thought Mr..
Layman could have forced the flesh OF the neck up
and have produced wound Of that shape with his
own hand The Doctor thought not.
The Court then adjourned till two O'CLOCK this
afternoOu.
