THE BOARD OF EMIGRATION.

be Sustained.
RECALL OF THE APPROPRIATION BILL.

Comptroller Green until a new Mayor has chance to
appoint his successor Is assured The bill passed TO-
day by vote OF twenty to sevcn Mr.. Harris being
the only republican voting tho negative As there
hundreds Of bills ahead OF this on tho Assembly
files would take thirds bring II up out
Of its order tho lower house. Granting that the
same elements OF opposition 10 IT exist In The Assem-.
bly, this vote Is assured.
ruE CIVIL JUSTICES hill.
The Civil Justices bill, which was sent
nously 10 the Committee Of the Whole is giving tho
Justices small anxiety. Tim Campbell has left,
but John o. Brcn whose pay Custom House wcighcr
undoubtedly goes while he is here weighing the
chances Of New York bills, still among the
faithful Watchers Tho bill cannot be advanced in the
general orders where II is, almost at tho very
bottom unless BY two-,hirds vote, and the chances
OF securing that dubious.
