EVENING The Constitution publishes the fifth article ‘of its series upon the public expenditures, in which it presents the expenses of our foreign ‘intercourse for the years 1852-3-6-7-8. For the edification of the friends of the Con- stitution and the Union at the present time, the Constitutron republishes an extract from letter written by Mr. Buchanan on the 19th of November, 1850, to the committee of the %reat Union meeting held at Philadelphia on ‘the 21st of the same month, in which the value ‘of the Union, and the black crime of those who ‘would damage or destroy it, are powerfully and The 1 pi Soca comments upon the late proceedings of the French Legislative Assem- bly to show that if that body, as at present constituted, may be confidently relied upon to always register the edicts issued from the pal- ace of the Tuileries. it none the less tolerates on the part‘of its members a freedom of discussion which serves toshow that the sentiment of per- sonal and representative responsibility has not entirely disappeared in France, as charged by some ‘‘good haters’’ of the reigning dynasty. ——__+. 02 10> The official majority In Massachusetts, for Ahe constitutional amendment requiring two years’ residence, is 5.624, ont of the total vote of 25.-2 IDFA Mr. West, of Rensselaet ‘been discovered in illicit love witl fatally stabbed himself, Friday.

He relies most confidently on the quasi opinions recently given by the Corporation Attorney, in one of which that officer agrees with the Mayor with- out giving a single reason for it, and in the u other, we find a learned disquisition on the relative duties of the executive and legislative branches of governments. The legal acumen of the Corporation Attorney his fellow-citizens cheerfully admit and proudly refer to, but candor compels the admission that in the opin- ions above mentioned he has not sustained his well-earned reputation. To determine what are the special duties confided to the Mayor, and what to the two Boards, we must refer to the ebarter and sub- sequent laws passed by Congress. It will be perceived that the inhabitants of the city of Washington are made a body politic and cor- porate by the name of the Mayor, Board of Aldermen and Board of Common Council. A further examination will show that the Mayor, before entering on the duties of his office, swears “faithfully to execute the duties of his office to the best of his skill and judgment, without favor or partiality.”’ Now the question arises, what are his “duties,” and we will again turntothecharter. Ile shal! be ex-officioa Jus- tice of the Peace ; he shall nominate, and with the consent of the Board of Aldermen, appoint to all offices; he shall approve all ordinances or return the same in writing within five days. There are other duties imposed upon him by the charter of an unimportant character, but there is no clause specifically imposing upon him the duty of “executing all laws.’ The specific powers devolving upon the Corpora- tion, are too numerous to mention. itis sufficient to state that, with the exeep- tions before-mentioned, all power is vested in the Corporation, each particular branch acting the one with the other—the Mayor possessing the veto power, the two boards the power to make laws by passing bills over vetoes by a two-thirds vote, the two boards possessing the power to define and impose upon the Mayor with his consent, and if not obtained, by pase- ing over his veto, any additional duty not in conflict with the provisions of the charter. In a word, he is an executive officer with limited powers. It istrue there is a similarity between our municipal government and the Federal Government; and yet in one particular they are essentially different. The President of the United States is sworn to execute the office of President, &¢., and is required to ‘‘ take care that the laws be furthfully executed; where —as, in our municipal government, it is for the “Corporation” to see that the laws be faith- fully executed. An executive officer is one to whom is confided the power to execate laws. Are not the Register and Surveyor executive officers of our city, the Corporation clearly pos- sessing the power to impose upon them the duty, as upon the Mayor, of executing ils laws and ordinances ? Assuming that the Mayor possessed the power claimed, we would inquire what it is «+o exe- cutealaw?” Is the awarding of a contract to execute a law? Clearly not. An award may be made, and yet, for various reasons, no contract entered into. We ask, then, in the name of common sense, if the power were vest- ed in the Mayor, under the laws of Congress, to execute all Jaws, what objection can there be to members of the two Boards acting in con- junetion with him in awarding the contracts ’ We refer this question to the Corporation At- torney. Now, with reference to the act of Congress supplying the cities of Washington and George- town with water. Upon whom is conferred the authority to supply the inhabitants with water’ Who but the Corporation of Washington? Who re the Corporation? The Mayor and two Boards. By what right, then, does the Mayor Assume, 2s one of his prerogatives, the making of all contracts, exeluding from participation the eodrdinate branches of the city govern- ment? Let us look at the act of March 3, 1859, section 3. After enumerating the powers vest- ed in the Corporation, we find the following : “And generally to enact such laws an be necessary to supply the inhabitants of the said city of Washingion with pure and wholesome water, and to earry into full and complete etfeet the pow? ers herein g 7 “They are authorized to pass such Jaws as may be necessary.’ The two Boards have signified their unwillingness to-eonfer upon the Mayor absolute power in the awarding of contracts. The Mayor desiring such power, has used his privilege of veto, and we regret to state that the lower branch of the Corpo- ration lacked independence of character suf- ficient to indicate their disapprobation of the Mayor's grasping policy in the Seventh Ward market-house bill. The point is as clear as the noon-day sun, that should the two Boards pass the water bill over the Mayor's veto, that then it is the /aw, the Corporation having ex- ercised the power vested in them by Congress, and passed such law as they deemed necessary to supply the inhabitants of the city of Wash- ington with pure and wholesome water—the point being equally clear that the Mayor pos- Sesses no power not specifically stated in the ebarter. Should the ingenuity of legal gentlemen seek to find powers for the Mayor in the charters of 1520 and 1848, or laws of Congress, we suggest that the trouble of examination might be saved by referring to the eighth section of the water act, which provides “that all acts or parts of acts inconsistent with this be, and the same is hereby repealed.” The act of March 3, 1859, is independent of any past laws; and the Corporation may pass any law not inconsistent with its provisions by which the people of Washington may be sup: plied with water.
