City Covuxcits.— Board -of Aldermen.—The board met at 4 o'clock, p. m., yesterday, the pres- ident, W.'T. Dove, Faq.. in the chair. A communication was received from the Mayor Teturning unapproved twe bills, one entitled “An act anthorizing the erection of a market-house in the Seventh Ward,” and the other “An act for supplying the shat, Sp Asylum with water, and to protect it against lightaing.”” Mayor s in giving his reasons for the veto, first states, in that the charter of the city has provided us with a government in which the legislative and executive ctions are Mongo Pia arated and defined. This distinction, he holds; is of vital im ace, and should be scrupulously observed. That we had ne legal to act, or to bind in any respect the = of this city, eithet in or property, otherwise than in ac- cordance with the fandamental principles of the organic law. Hf those ordinances (the vetoed ones) were fonnd. after careful consideration, to be re- pugnant to those fandamental truths, the Councils would. he was confident, agree with him that they ceuld net become the law. He states that they are backed in some sort by precedent, but, notwith- standing that. they had no more authority than that which belonged to them, as ineasnres adopind without any attention having. at the time, been drawn tw the objection now made; and, convince as be is that the objection he now makes js radical and insuperable, he cannot consider it asa part of his daty to recognize any such precedents. ‘The act authorizing the erection of a market- bénse in the Seventh Ward the Mayor objects to because the second section makes the execution of the work inconsistent with the ottice and duty of tht Mayor. It reduces that oifice to a mere cipher in several particulars. Its scheme was to make the Mayor ons of a bedy of those created for the oc- casion to cause to beexecuted a law of this Fe om atlon. A further objection presented itéIf in that in this triamvirate @ majority was to be com ed of representatives of the two boards which com- ose the legislative branch, acting in their capac- Tey of members of each respectively; and this he holds makrthe legislative tread directly on the execntive toes, and is an atternpt to over- shadow and control the Mayor in the discharge of those dutied for the performance of which tie ple have elected him, while they had ‘elected the w6 beards for another and a very different pur- pose. r : The Mayor proceeds to elucidate his views, by Supposing 2 case, i. ¢. that an act of Congress is passed to authorize the erection of any particular public work or contract, and oviding that the execution ef such act be placed in the hands of a nittee composed of the President of the Uni- one member of each House of ss. and then asks if everybody would not ce it unconstitutional? Would any man by his election and by his oath with ex- » doty—feeliag the responsibilities of the and comprehending the latter—give his former assent te such an infringement of the prerogatives ‘and di of his offtc arb the balance of the fun- damental law? This is put as a parallel case with tue eve under consideration e holds that our municipal government is a miniature of the Fed- «Til Government. and that of the States gererally, 1 the same principle characterizes all our mu.i- l governments which have been framed with aud forethought. » Mayor states that while he holds the office the people have elected him to, he shall very endeavor to avoid the slightest invasion the chartered rights and privileges of the two boards, and while demg so shall take good care that there be no invasion of the rights and prerog- atives of his office. He does not pro) to place mself in tutelage, nor suffer himself to be eon- tretled. by voluntarily becoming one of a com- mittee of three for the proper discharge of his da- fies. Whilst he does not doubt of the superior wisdom of the two boards, they and the Mayor derive their powers from the same source, naine- ly: the contidence of the citrzens and the charter of Congress. and with a view to those alone they were to estimate their ey arpa responsibilities The same principles which apply to the above ordina: the Mayor holds a, ply in equal sort to the ~ Act for supplying the ¥ ashington Asylam with water and to protect it against lightning .* Mr. Dunnington moved that the communication be printed and imade the special order for ucxt Monday evening. Mr. Smith hoped that such a course would not he taken. He had great respect for the opinions of the Mayor, but at the same time he had the fullest confidence in the common sense of the two boards. and their capability of legislation within the provisions of the charter. He took the ground that the two boards had the power to appoint the Mayor to act in conjanction with a committee of them to discharge the general duties connected with any temporary matter. There was an im- portant question involved in this matter, It was that the rightsef the two Boaras should not be curtailed by any assumption of dignity or of al- leged invesion of executive authority. This bill for the Seventh ward market-house, provided that it was to be built by the contract awarded to the lowest responsible bidder, and it was for the Counrtls to see those provisions carried out in conjunction with the Mayor. Mr. S. stated that he had tre highest regard Lyset for the May- or, and it was painful for him to oppose his course im this case; but he stood here to defend the dig- A u © nity and rights of the two boa:ds, as well as those of his honor. It was not a compensatory vor 2 wes but temporary, and there was c 1 the executive authority of the Mayor in appointing him in conjunction with the two branches of the Councils to assist in su is- ing the works provided for in the vetoed bills. be ques.ion recurriag upon the motion of Mr. Donnington to print and make the communica- tion the special order for Monday next— Mr. Moore stated that as far as one of the bills was concerned, he knew that it was drawn in accordance with the charter and with ious legislation of the Councils. He would like to see the message printed,and so much of it as related to the almshonse referred to that committee. Mr. A. W. Miller did not consider this a matter of opinion, but one of law. ‘This conMuittee were officers of the Corporation, notwithstanding they were called a com They were appointed to expend the money of the Corporation. He should vote to sustain the Mayor, as be thought he was right Mr. Dove stated that he thonght the message of the Mayor set forth strange doctrine, and for one he shonid sustain the motion to postpone its con- sideration till next ony & ‘The Mayor thonght he should be a cipher in the hands of the Corpo- ration if he was appointed on a committee to see the work of the Corporation done. He held that Mayor, ia nn his duty, should coutine himself strictly to it. Why, then, did he speak in his message of questions now pending before these boards? He held that it was competent for these boards to appoint joint committees. No joint committee could be a committee of the Corpora- tiom unas the Mayor was connected with it. The Mayor was not 2 power to hold in check the boards, he boards to restrain the Mayor Mr Barry held that the Mayor had an undoubted - y bilis he chose to; but he held that insult to the Councils for the Mayor to travel out of the record and allude in his mes- sage to questions now pending in this board He Was serry for the necessity which compelled him to make such strictures on the chief executive of the city, bet it was his duty to do so. ‘The question on the motion to refer and make the special order being taken, it was carried—ayes 9, nays I.
