There are several gentlemen who would be very glad to prove the sbatemonts that have been made about Judge Broechns, and which he has a tempted to repel; but ‘will hear nothing more on either side at this con- ference. s And why did I say it! To quell the excitement whish your remarks bad caused in that audience ; not to give or accept a challenge, but to prevent any one (of which there were many present wishing the opportunity), and every one, from ascepting your Seales go, and thereby bringing down upon your head the indignation of an outraged people, in the midst of a conterence bonvencd for religious instruc tien and business, and which, your remarks conti- must have continued the exeitement, until ihave been danger ‘‘ of pulling of hair ulting of throats,” perhaps, on both sides, if rties had proved equal—tor there are poiats in bi yond which mea and Starvation will revo- women lutionize any sity that hun nota ~~ spring, her Se hands of mic and nnegn ible, and to the highest by to stand or sit, and impart just Sir, what confide ed, outeast people ha i h, after om power cannot control; and will ieelogs, in view of her murdered off- hand, and her dying sire, p equally strong tantalized 1 d Tha you was ave plead ith the doomed t from their lowest 1 xt and fror their halls ot le times and times, and_ tin force of arme, i om thelr midst, and utterly refused the possibility of the cries of mur- dered innocence from reaching their polluted ears!

Charity would haye induced me to hope, at least, that your speech, in part, was prompted by the im- pulse of the moment; but Iam forbid this pleasing reflection, by your note, wh **my speech in all ite parts, ration and care, not proceeding frum a heatedimagi- nation or a maddened impulse.”’ ‘I intended to eay what I did say.” Now, if you did actually **in- tend to say what you did say,” it is pretty strong presumptive te ny that you wore not ignorant, for if you had been ignorant, from whe: your intentions! And if you were not ignorant, you must have been d; and T cannot conceive of a more cha upon your conduct on t you designedly and deliberately planned a speech to excite the indignation of your hearers te an extent that would cause them to break the bonds of pro- priety, by pulling your hair or cutting your throat, willing, no doubt, in the utmostof your benevolence to die a martyr’s death, if you could only get occa- sion to raise the hue and cry, and re-mucder a vir- tuous people, as Missouri and Llinois bas so often done before you. Glorious philanthropy this; and corresponds nost fully with the declaration which, it is reported, on protty good authority, that Judge Brocchus made while on his jonrney to the valley, substantially as follows:—**]i ihe ‘citizens of Utah do not send me as their delegate to Washington, b God, I'l! use all my influence against them, and will crush them. { have thq influence the power to | do it, and I will accomplish it if they do not make me their delegate.” | Now, sir, 1 will not stop to argue the point | whether your honor made those observations that rumor 2H you slid; but I will leave it to an intelli- gent world, or so much of that world as are ac- | quainted with the facts in the case, to decide whether | your conduct has not fully proved that youharbored | those malicious foelings in your heart, when you de- liberately planned a speech’ calculated in its nature to rouse this community to violence, and that, too, ena day consecrated to religious duties, your de- claration to the contrary notwithstanding, that you “ did not design to offer indignity and insult.” When a man’s words are set in direct opposition to his acts, which will men believe? He acts all the time. Where, then, is the force of your denial? One item more from your note, reads thus:—** M sole design in the branch of my remarks whici seems to be the source of offence, was to vindicate the govermnent of the United States from those feelings of prejudice, and that spirit of defection which seemed to pervade the public sentiment, &¢.”” Let me inquire what ‘public sentiment” you refer- red te? Was it the sentiments of the State? at large? If #0, your honor missed bis aim, most widely, when | he left the city of Washington to become ‘the au- | thor of such remarks.

Your neglect to respond to my last communication is but another proof positive that you had no desire to improve the ‘“ time permitteth” you to explain your poeition, and make ratiefaction to an ingulted people, e: the ladies, and this is why I am -unwillingly compelled to resume the subject at the first leisure moment, . our eulogy on the character of the immortal Washington, addressed particularly to the ladies, fell so far short of the real merits of that august |. personage, and so far short of what your fair audience were secustemed to hear when the cbarac- ter of that great man has been presented before inem, that they were disgusted at the recital, and had they been prepared to make the offering desired, they would have chosen to commit their gifts to somenobler minded band to bear to the destination; and while they were ready to avard to the epeaker all flip Ine to the cobwebs of academic rhe- toric, a ental the want of soul rhat was needed to give tone, andsentiment, and feeling, in eulogistic praise of the father of patriots and nations. But those were teelinge of disgust and pity rather thap anger ; the offence moro partieularly was. that you should bave addressed yourself to the ladies, and that, too, at an improper time. Had you been in the midst of a people where queens reign, or princes dictate kings, your ap- proach to your sudject might have been pardon- able, yea, even appropriaie in form; but the dis- turbance of a religious meeting by the introduction of subjects foreign to the intent of the meeting, and that, too, without previous notice of those inten- items worthy of note io-your public address, before referved to. Though you have not seen fit to an- swer my former letters in writing, yet I was willing to receive your verbal apology, to wit: ‘* were | unanewerable;” and that apology will remain good in your behalf, if you from that time control your | tongue, and Lae subjection that unruly member | which bas eaused you so trouble; but that, sir, you cannot do while the poison of seps is in your heart—you must spew it out at your mout your tongue molly 4 guided by the current thereof, jor the purpose of degtading those who must ever- lastingly be your superiors Agteates Ag bitherto, my time for thie note is limited ; but when you remarked that the Mormon Battalioncou! not consider it irkeome to enlist, as ‘ they all want- ed to go to California and get gold; and that many gentlemen were desirous of earloying: hands for tbat purpose, and of going themselves,” &c. Where was you, gir, at the time this event transpired? Was you in the sun, in the moon, or in the 1 tor was you in the nethermost part of hell, with tho door locked, and a blind man hunting after the key, that you should not know the fact that gold was not dis- covered in California until after the discharge of the Mormon Battalion, and then by two members of that battalion? and those two men, viz: Mossrs. W il- ford Hudson and Sidney Willis, who were present, teo, in the midst of your audience, and heard your foolirh, ignorant remarks? 7, é is there not a pathor—something poouliarly inte- resting and gublime—in this part of your speech? Is it pot enchantingly philosophic to suppose, to in- fer without fear of contradiction, that the Mormons wanted to enlist to go to California and get gold, when there was not @ man on carth who knew, or even suspected, there wag goldfor the digging in Northern California? And neither was it to be known until after those same men “* who wanted to go and get gold,” had marched thither over parched and un- tracked deserts, been disbanded, andfound the shin- ing ore, and reported it to the world. Do you not think it wasa most sublime theme in the cars of thoee two men who found the gold, and the dear la~ tions, would be unpardonable in a heathen com- munity, much more so in the most enlightened and Christian assembly. If you, sir, were commissioned by the Washing- ton Monument Association to present their claim to this people, why did you not, as a gentleman, pre- sent your ¢redentials to the proper person, and solicit the privilege of time and place to make your communications? Was it beceuse you were ashamed of your trast, of the cause you had espoused, and feared that others would di#ike it as much as your- self, and vever give you a hearing, if they knew our subject and, at the same time, were you pound by some party clique, for some electioneering purpose, to answer your private ends, in polities at the capital, that you difre not let the subject pass in silence? Ifnot, why did you not avow your inten- tions to the, proper persons, and seek the proper time to communicate your miesion, like a gentle- man—like a man of honor, worthy of the high and sacred trust committed to your keeping. Of the gentlemen of Utah you asked no assistance for the monument. I regret that that noble and patriotic association should suffer by such commissions It isthe wish and intention of the citizens of Utah to furnish their memento to the memory of the illustrious dozd—the incomparable Washington, the father of iiberty, the sire of freedom destined for the world—but we were not anticipating the heavenly column would be complete, so as to deny us the privilege of our mite, before we could shelter and feed the widows and orphans that have been expatriated from that land of freedom and Christian tolerance: and if we could do but one, we leave it to righteous men and angols to say if the latter would not be the most heavenly act?” Bat we still hope to do both; though if you had any mission to the citizens of Utah concerning this matter, you | never did your errand, only to the ladies, and that, too, in part, by burning the engravings of the Washington monument in their presence, thereby manifesting to all men, as well as the ladies, the | utter contempt of your private feelings towards the doings of that noble and patriotic association. The ladies of Utah do not consider it their place | to rule the nation. They do not consider it their appropriate sphere to scale the mountain gorge, quarry the rough blocks, and chisel and burnish, letter, and engrave the monumental mar- ble. No, sir; they are accustomed to their retired and appropriate sphere of action to the etation which heaven designed for them. They know their true dignity and station, and knowing, appreciate | it, and abide in it ; and when national affairs are forced by their sons, their brothers, their fathers, | their husbands, or as an ancient matron in Israel expressed it—their ‘‘ lords,” and they are called to act out of their place, they feel insulted; they feel that their guardians and protectors are abused, and that abuse they feel to share most keenly; and why are you, sir, not willing at least to ape the gentleman loug enough. to make reasonable restitu- tion to the ladies 2 Of the gentlemen you asked not a farthing in all your speech. Your encomiums on President Fillmore, for purity | of churacter and virtue, were just, so far as they ex- | tend, but fecble when compared with truth; and why, sir, did you nor.say, as you might truly have said, that a more noble and patriotic man sits not in chair of State, or on the throne of kingdom, in this wide world, than President Millard Fillmore, and there leave him to his own just merits, before a vir- tuous and magnanimous people, instead of attempt- ing to prove or argue that inasmuch as President | Fillmore was a virtuous man, he could appoint none | other than a ‘ virtuous man to office,” clearly im- plying in your address that you yourself must be | virtuous, because you was appointed to a high office | by a virtuous man? Was not thisa work of supero- | rogation? Was you not a stranger here? Had | your virtue been culled in question by this people ? f you had given no occasion for suspicion, why did | ts introduce the subject to prove your innocence ? | The very argument did excite suspicion, and how | could it be otherwise ? Whenever I hear a man confirm his words with an | oath, I always suspect that man doubts his own as- | sertion, and ot course he thinks his hearers will | have aslittle faith for him as he has for himself; and when IJ hear a gentleman attempting to prove his virtuous character before a question has been . it, my mind reverts to the old maxim—‘‘a gui ni conscience needs no accuser.” Sir, however well may be prepared to trace your paths of sun and shade, that led you through the planter’s house, and other enchanting scenes, to this poet vale, I must be excused, for want of time, to sketch them in this brief note. | The eye of him who created all things is open upon | all his works, and to me it is no proof of your supe- rior virtue, that President Fillmore, a whig, gave eh your appointment, when you were @ democrat. | With whiggery | and democracy I have nothing to | do--all the politics 1 wish to be acquainted with is | truth—the eternal principle of trath—and the man | who understands, loves, and practices that principle | is the nein forme. My interests are safe in his hands—he will do right. But the virtuous and upright are liable, through human frailty, to be de- | eeived in their fellows, and, through that deception, perform improper acts, and make appointments of those who are not virtuous like themselves. Another important item in the course of your re- marks, on the 8th instant, in connection with the | expose of your own exalted virtue—you expressed a hope that the ladies you were addressing “ would become virtuous.” Let me ask you, mest serioush: my dear sir, how could you hope thus! How could you hope that those dear creatures, some of whose acts of benevolence to the stranger drew tears from your eyes while you were yet speaking—how could you hope—what possible chance wae there for you to hope—they would become virtuous? Had you ever proved them unvirtuous? If so, you could have but a faint hope of their reformation. But, if youhad not proved them unvirtuous, what testi- mony had you of their lack of vircue? And if they were unvirtuous, how could they ‘become virtu- ous?” Sir, your hope was of the most damning die, and your very expression tended to convey the agsertion that those ladies you then and thera ad- dressed were prostitutes, unvirtnious—to that extent you could only hope, but the probability was they were so far gone in wickedness you dure not believe they ever could become virtuow}. And now, sir, let your own good sense, if you have a spark lett, i ery paar Ae had you wustered all the foree that hell could len you—could you have committed a greater indignity and outrage on the feelings of the most virtuous and sensible assemblage of ladies that your eyes ever beheld! Jf you could, tell me how. Jf you could not, you are at liborty to ree main silent. Shall such freults remain ited, unatoned for? f 1 leave the subject for the moment, while T re- main, sir, most respectfully, your servant, Bricaam Young. Hon. Perry B.

The subject is quite too moli fluous to write upon; I leave it for your vivid imagi- nation to pieture it at your leisure, in the light of legal science, and philosophy unanswerable vhen you opened your remarks to the citizens of Utah, and especially to the ladies—for you hadlittle to say to apy one else—you remarked that “you aj- peared before them as a humble citizen; that you was one with them; that you wished to live with them and among them; and ag a humble citizen you should address your audience on that occasion.” In a fow moments, and scarce had the fo ing words ceased to vibrateron the ear, before you introduced your ‘virtuous appointment,” asa virtuous man, “‘emanating frem a virtuous President,” as hinted in my former letter, and that ‘*you was one of the supreme virtuous Judges of Utah territory, and as such you should address your audience, for yourself and in behalf of your colleagues on your left, and if you should say aught that was not correct, they would correct you, \&o., .&c. Thus, almost at a breath, yon addressed the dear ladies of Utah as a humble citizen and supreme Judge—fer yourself as a humble individual, and in behalf of the supreme bench. The transition of your speech from ‘ humble citi- zen, to Virtuous judge-supreme,” was 80 sudden and unexpected, that those present, who could think of nothing else, meditated the character of the sublime personage before them, in the fable of the pig and the puppy. A certain parishioner, wishing to com- pliment his priest, sent his servant, black Jack, with a pigina basket; as Jack was passing the ale house. his eon aed called him in, and while he was drinking their health, they exchanged the pi fora puppy. Jack went on hie way rejoicing, an informed the parson that masser bad sont him a pig. The minister, happy in tho prospect of a good dinner, cree the basket, and secing the puppy, exclaimed, ‘* You rascal, why did yea bring me a puppy?” “ Don’t know, massa siid he was a pig.” ‘+ Carry it back to your master, and te!! him not to send. me any more puppies.” On returning, Jack called at the ale house, and while he was again quaffing the health of his comrades, they changed the purty into a pig, and he returned to his master, who silat 77 eu Jack, what did the minister say to the pig!” ‘* Minister eay pig was a puppy.” The Tmaiter! looked in the Baas, eh tow tho pig: “What do you mean, you black raseal, minister eay pig was a puppy?’ ‘“Yesamassa. I don’t know what minister mean, but I believe it can be a pig or a puppy, just as it’s a mind to ” fore I close, permit me, kind sir, to. ask you in what history we are to find the fact recorded tat ‘General Wasbington was at tho battle of Bunker Hill” as you stated to the Utah ladies, in your public address. Ihnd supposed that Washington was farther south at the time of the battle refarred to, and that at that period he bad not received his commission as Commaader-in-Chief, but did soon after, when he repaired to Cambridge, and drove the British from Boston ; but as you say be was at Bunker Hill battle, Jam bound to believe, provided hy can point me to the fact in a well authenticated istory ; or if you were yourself present at the bat- tle of Bunker Hill, as witness, state to me the fact, and I will believe your testimony. You further remarked in your observations, or in your public address, that ** George Washington was cradled in the lap of ease, refinement, and luxury, and was dandJed on the knees of a kind and tendor father,” and strove to impress your audience with the belief that his sacrifices were great, and his toils more wearisome, from the refinement and ten- derness of his education and luxurious living.

Terrible Uproar among the City Fathers— Resignation of Alderman Wesley Saith, and Withdrawal of the Resignation. WROM OUR SPECIAL REPORTER. Boarp or ALDERMEN, Tuesday, July 13, 1852. Alderman Denman, of the Sixteenth ward, pre- sented the following preamble and resolution, which he said he presented at the request of several mem- bers of the department, and desired that they might bo read, which was accordingly done by the Clerk, amid profound silence:— Whereas, The foremen of the engine, hose, hook and jadder, and hydrant companies, assembigd in Firemen’s Hall. on the 22d of September, 1861, recommended an immediate divorce between the Fire Department and the Common Council; and whereas the forcemen, consi- dering themselves slighted by the burial of their reepectfal petitions for divorce in the special and stand- ing committees of the Common Council, the enemies of the measure. asserting, within and without the depart- ment, that the vote = which auch divorce was recom- mended by the foremen was not a majority vote. and grotely illegal throoghout; and inasmuch as several poli- tical ‘fire companies, or companies under the imme- late influence of the leaders of the whig and democra- tic parties, remonstrated againet such divorcee, they, the foremen, reaseembled in men’s Hall, on the 18th of February, 1862. at one of the largest mectings ever known in teehee Fall Py eiiers following, by the overwhelming majority ‘ayes nays, ‘Whereas, Thia body has been informed tint certain ordinauces, based upon the report in favor of a reorgani- sation of the Fire Department, adopted at dncting held Oct. 17, 1861, were favorably reported to the late Board of Aldermen, at its session in November last, by a special committee. to whom the eubject of reorganization, &c.. had been referred; and whereas, this body is farther in- fomed that said ordinances and accompanying docu- ments bave been referred to a special committee of the prefent Roard of Aldermen, no action having been taken thereon by the late Common Council; thereiore— Resolved. That this body hereby reatlirms its adhe- renee to the plan of reorganization contained in the report adopted in October last; and being firm in the belief that the paseage of the ordinances ailuded so would preatly promote the interest and prosperity of the Fire Department, it respectfully and earnestly requests the Special Committee of the Board of Aldermen to report in favor thereof with aa little delay as possible, Resolved, That a copy of the foregoing preamble and resolutions. with an extiact from the minutes, be signed by the offerrs of this meeting. and furpiched to said Special Committee. and that they be also respectfully requested to transnit it to the Board wheu they make their report. c , The following is the eed beance of the various fire oropanies in avopting the above :-— ane Ei Hic 3. 4, 5, 8, 9,10, 11, 12, 13, 16, 28, 29, 31. 33, 34, 0, 51.’ Hook and 65 votes, 5, 26, 49, 5 24 votes. ree ‘And whereas, The Report of the Commissioner of ¥ pairs and Supplies. now printed and on our desks, i forms us that there has been expended, and ordered to be expended. from the first of January of the present year to May following, a period of four months, chieily on the recommendation of the Fire Department Committee of the Common Coaneil, composed of Messrs. Smith, Bard, and Ward, the enormous sum of one hundred aad four thourand dollars for the Fire Department expenditures, which excecds the annual appropriation in four month's expenditure some thirty-four thousand dollars. leaving eight months to run which may bring the annual ex; diiure to between two and three hundred thousand dol- Jars—an extravagance of appropriation which startled not ovly the Fire Department itself, but the tax payors of the whole city, and elicits very naturally the inquiry for what extraordinary purpose could so large an amo iub of money have beeen appropriated, when it is known throughout the department that there is s large number of companics who apply in vain to the Common Council. through the Fire Department Committee of the Board of Aldermen, for the most necessary appropriations, and some of them for a proper shelter for their apparatus, And whereas, the present mode of trial of the insnbor- Ainate members of the Gepat ment, by the Vio Depect= ment Committee, is in effect no trial at all, and is con- sidered by intelligent and worthy members of the de- artment a8 a mere sham trial, and as one of the leading sources of rowdyism in our city, from the loose and procrastinsted mannerin which the Fire Department: Committee screen and Jet loose the insubordinate mem- bers of the department, to enable them to re-engage in their attacks on worthy firemen, of which the depart- ment is generally composed. And whereas, the Fi Department consider themselves shamefully treated in the unparalleled and unexpected delay of the Special Committee, and especially of the Fire Department Com- mittee. which have had the consideration of their two reepectful petitions (the Fire Department Committee has them now locked up) for divorce since October, 1861, without manifesting the slightest disposition to report thereon—one of the present members of the Fire Department Committee, in the Board of Aldermen, having been a member of that committee for two or three successive years. and its present chairman having been a member of the Fire Department Committee, in the Board of Assistants, duriog the ines year, which enabled them to know all that has transpired in the department, and the strongly expressed de- sires of the Department in reference to its imme- diate divorce trum the Common Connei nl where- as, the disinterested services, perils. sacridves, courage, and indispensable uscfulners of the firemen ot ont eity, are too well known und appreciated by our meritorious citizens to require any formal cuiogium from any souree; and conceiving that the fircozen themselves are the boet judges of the evils that have so long existed. and still ox- ist toan alarming degreo. aud the necessity for an imme- diate reorganization of the department, the Common Council, a¢ hitherto, to retain ite feto on all their acts, therefore, Resolved, That the following ordinance be sdopted, which was recommended for adoption in 1851, by a spe- cial committee of which Alderman Griffin was Uhairman, and which has been twice recommended for our adoption Wy. the foremen, twice assembled in Firemen’s Hall, and which is the recommendation of the foreman, as printed by the Board, comma for comma, and word for word:— AN ORDINANCE RELATING TO THE FIRE DEPATMENT.

This matter was referred to a spe- cial committee. “ Alderman Peck, (Twentieth ward,) rose to order } The motion was vot debatable. - Presipent ruled tbut ae not, and tho aestion was.about to be put, when, ; bs Alderman Sturrevant. (Third ward,) explained. He voted **no” to give them an copper to dis- cuss it, but would be huppy it shouid be laid on the table, and would afterwards move that it be. Question put and lost on a division— Peck, Comp> ton and Doherty voting in the affirmative. — Alderman Fraxcis would explain the position he stood in. , Alderman Surtu—If the gentleman will exeuo me, I ask, in connection with that, to present ® pa- per to the board, and let it be read. If it were nob # respectfal communication to treat it acvordinglys but he asked tbat it be read. 7, Alderman Sruntevast—The Alderman of the Eleventh ward wants to present @ paper in coanev- tion, and we bave « aufficient guarantee that ib is a respectful one in the character and respectability of the gentleman himself 4 The Prestpent—If there is no objection, the Clerk will proceed to read it. Alderman Warp, would ask whether it was wu communication or a resolution. The Presipenr did not know the contents of its it was offered in connection with the other. ; The CLERK then read the paper, in which Alder man Smith tendered bis resignation as Chairman of the Committee on the Firo Department, and asked that Alderman Denmun be appointed in his stead. This produced some sensation and slight laughter, amidst which, Alderman Dryman moved that the paper last read be Jaid on the tuble Alderman Smiru hoped that it would he ace cepted. He bad stated to the Alderman of the Si teenth, that there wore statements in thet preamble that were false, snd bad shown him how they were false, and told bim where he could ascertain it for himeelf; and still he porsisted iu prosenting it this board and making it public. Under those cir custances he to offer his resignation. Alderman Stuxrevant—Thouzht the request went too far; he pot oniv resigned, but asked to appoint hia suceessor, which was entirely the pro vince of the President. Ic would bo sufficient that he resigned; and that step he (Alderman Sturte vant) very much regretted, as there wag no mem- ber of the beard mvre competent to perform tho duties, beri 3 we'l ucquaiated with the babits and feelings of the firemen, and he believed personally known to almost every one of them in tho city. He was sorry that the gentleman should feel af- fronted at the resolution offered, which was searcely wortbypof » like certain communications in New York papers, worth only the papor they covered, Alderman TwzEp, (Seventh ward) hoped that Mr. Smith and the Bourd would bear in mind that the paper came from a gentleman who, in that room yeatarday, and ju their presence, admitted that a report in the HenaLp wa@incorreot, and thea went down and addressed a commucication to the editor | stating that is was correct. He moved tast Alder+ | man Smicb lave permission to withdraw that resig~ nation. Aldermaf Suntit, viewing the source from whence it came, wonld withdraw his paper. (No objection being made, the permission was given and the re= signation withdiawn ) Alderman Denman said he was sent there by his constituents to represent a certain district in the city, and it did net concorn him much to know in what ostimation he eld by the gentlemen of | that bourd. Wh presented the document be- fore them for cousiderotion, he announced to the board that be did so at the request of the members of the department. As to the remarks of the mom- ber from the Eleventh ward, he had erased what ho conecived to be offensive matter, and he now do- sired, if there be any falsehood in the document, that it be pointed out. fur during the debate thus fur he had heard none asserted. It was ebiefly sta- tistieal and & narrative of facts; and as such it eon- tained its own argument. Ho had been prepared for some ingolence. It was quite true he had ad- mitted there, that there were some inaccuracies in the report alluded to, but be asserted that it was substantially correst. The Presivenr said the motion would now be ot the resolution. Alderman Sturt be Iaid on the table Alderman Wann, (Fifteenth ward)—Perhaps the gentleman will give some reason for laying it on the table. The paper. no doubt, is false. We have the assurance of the chairmon of the commistee that it is, and there is no doubt that there is no truth in it. It first tells us that we have spent too much mo- ney, and then that their houses are tumbling down. Alderman Sturtevant had moved in pursaance of this notice and in courtesy to the Alderman of the Nineteenth, but would withdraw his motion. Alderman Twerp moved that it be referred to the Fire and Water Committee, as the best parties to judge of it. He did not bolieve that it expreszad the sentiments or feeliogs of the department. He bad for some years been & fireman bimsel!, he knew he thought what their feelings were, and if it were referred Lo the department it at large, he believed that two out of three v uld Bb cast against it. He was an advocate for all reforms and was favorable to divorcing the firemen from politics altogether. The foromen were not always, indeed never, eclected to express the feelings of the com- pany on such @ change; nor had they avy notion when they were elected that euch a question would ever arise, as they could not tell that such a Pro} sition would be brought forward, or what was in rg womb of time to be r upon. He did not, there- fore, consider the foremen as proper exponents of the views of the department at large. ey could not entirely be exprassed on such @ point. basi tho foremen and the engineers. Another point was that in such a meeting the foreman of a small company of ton men had as much right to vote, and as much weight, as the foreman of ene | comprising sixty men, which he believed was the largest number. He was for reform at all times, would refer this to the Fire Department itself, individually; and if the firemen desired a change, then give it to them, but not because the foremon veted for it, unless they were elected for the pur- pose of asking such a reform, whieh was not the case, and in doing so he, for ono, said that they were exceeding the line of their duty. Alderman SmrTH would 1 suggest to the members- of this board that, as the Jution required an or- dinance te be prepared, that it be referred to tho Committee on Ordinances, and he so moved. Alderman Srurtevant hoped that it would not take that course. He supposed the province of the Committee on Ordinances to be to prepare ordivanocos when they were ordered; and if this wero oriered, then let it go there in due course, but first get tho direction, as it was not their provined to eonsider whether the ordinance ought te be prepared or not. The Committee on the Fire Dopartmen', ho thought, would be the proper reference. Perliap the amendment would be withdrawn. Alderman Surra would withdraw it. An ALDERMAN observed—Tho Comm‘i! Fire Department will do nothing with it. Alderman Warp—A little while ago loud remon- strances were made that the committeo were doing too much for the dopartment. The question in reference to the cow then put, and carried without a divi ties ANT would new move that it sitlos wag The Explosion of the St. James, ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS.
