“CITY REFORM. Proposed Amendment to the City Charter. ‘The propositions contained below, suggesting fmendments to the city charter, were made the sub- ject of consideration by the undersigned and others, while members of the Common Council daring the years 1860-61. Having partially matared their views they brought them, early during the present year, before an assemblage of their fellow citizens, convened to consider the subject, who, after many Buccessive deliberations, at length, at their final Meeting, held at St. Nicholas Hotel, on the 11th of February last, adopted the following ‘Address to the Citizens of New York,’’ containing, it is believed, the most reasonable and practicable measures to effect the greatly desired end of a re-organization of pur municipal policy. This address was accordingly given to the printer ‘on the day following its adoption, and putintype for immediate publication in the newspaper press. But acommittee, appointed at a meeting of citizens at Stuyvesant Institute, having the same matter under consideration, it was deemed advisable to delay the issue of the address until after the result of the delib- eration of this committee should be made known. Subsequently, another meeting at Metropolitan Hall, held for the same purpose, caused a still further delay of the publication, which it was then expected would become unnecessary, in consequence of the plan to be presented by one or both of these committees. ‘The result of their labors, as embodied in a bill re. ported in the Legislature, is now before the public. But this bill containing features to which a large number of citizens have objected, and which, it is apprehended by many, will tend to defeat the adop- tion of ita excellent provisions by the people, the undersigned have assumed the responsibility of issu- | ing to the public the following address, previously adopted, as above stated, by a body of their fellow Citizens, with a view to facilitate the accomplish- ment of the great object, which the objectionable characteristics of the bil! now before the Legislature might otherwise fail to effect. Dantet Donag, Epuunp GairFin, Warner CuapMan. ADDRESS TO THE CITIZENS OF NEW YORK. The time has come when public safety in this city demands the earnest interposition of all good | citizens to stay the alarming progress of disorder | and crime; and the rights of property, burdened with excessive and constantly increasing taxation, are entitled to a more just and more economical management of municipal affairs. It the city go- yernment be not made more effective in the repression of outrages—if its administration he not conducted | with {more of economy and of public justice—then Must life and property be hastened to a condition of peril that may well excite the most serious apprehen- | Bion. pniversal complaints of public evils, we propose, not needlessly to swell the popular clamor, tut to sub- mit to the judgment of our fellow-citizens such pro- Soria ag will redress the gnevances of which it is eir right to be relieved. In the accomplishment of this object, we believe that an amendment of our defective municipal organization would be the most essential, if not the only effective, remedy. Experi- ence has shown that tiie selection of more faithful publig servants cannot be well secured, until the cor- system, by which unworthy men are now thrust ert be destroyed by force of law. Oppor- tanithee c of illegal or dishonorable gain should also be removed from public officers, and their position by checks and responsibilities, for which the | pn vache contains no adequate provision. 1 For the aeteere of oil we submit a i lowing jitions for embodiment in amendment to the cl ver of our city :— Ist. The veto power of the Mayor shall be strength- engd, by requiring a vote of two-thirds of all the members elected to the Common Council for the re- passage of any vetoed measure. Any head of de- partment may be suspended by the Mayor, who Shall have power to fill the vacancy durin, ; and such suspended officer shall not be re- instated except by the Mayor, or by acquittal after a trial for impeachment. At present the Mayor's veto is an entire nullity, and attords no check whatever on hasty or corrupt legislation ; fora vetoed measure may be re-adopted by the same bare majority which secured ita first — The Mayor has now practicaily no power correct abuses in the departments, tho bouds which are irrespousible, and, especially when ac in concert with the Common Council, may eet all authority at defiance. Itseems necessary that the Mayor should have power to arrest at once any evil or corrupt practice whieh may be brought to his notice ; and this power can be conierred on him only by the authority to suspend the heads of depart- ments. Thus, when occasion may require, he can exercise a beneficial control over the condact of all exeoutive officers, as the charter contemplates. 2d. The Aldermen shall hereafter have no magis- terial or judicial authority, and their duties shall be to legislation in the Common Council. The | While acknowledging the justness of the loud and | such sus- | entire separation of judicial, legislative and executive | functions, as existing in the national and the State ents, has been found to be essential to the urity and efficiency of their exercise. The benefit of wise policy should be secured to our city. [s- pecially has this provision at length become necessa- to protection of the public; for the election of Cidermen has been, or may become, dependent in too ta degree on bands of — disturbers, who, if brought within the power of the law, may receive g discharge from prison by their own aldermanic ma- gistrates; or they may avoid a trial, or escape due punishment, through the influence of their own alder- Manic judges, who now constitute either the entire court, ora majority on the bench, at every criminal trial in the city. f 3d. Let the power of the appointment or policemen be vested in three commissioners, whose action shall be subject to the approval of the Mayor; and iet all po- licemen be tried by a proper tribunal to be created for that purpose. ‘These commissioners to be nominated by the Mayor, and rte by a council, consisting of the Recorder or City ity of the Judges of the Supreme Court, and of the Superior Court. and of the Court of Common Pleas; each commissioner to hold his office for the term of six years, except that the commissioners first ap- ited shall hold their oflices respectively for two, four, and six years, a0 that one commis-ioner shall be appointed every two years, on the inauguration of the May ‘he ‘or. The captains of police to be nominated the Mayor, and appointed hy the Recorder and lice Commissioners. Proper provision should be Made for an examination of the physical and moral capabilities of police candidates, and qualifications of @ high order should be required. Liberal saiaries id be given to captains of police, for the purpose of securing officers of enerzy ar yility. Ail ap- itments should be made to continue during good havior. Any participation in the organization or conduct of primary or ciher political meetings, and efforta made to control voters, at ei i eneral elections, shonld constitute a for removal from office. id The policy of placing the police in a condition in- dependent of the influence and changes of political parties, by taking the powerof their appointment and removal from elective officers, and c their term of office during i for by the most urgent considerations of pul Much of the public disorders and crimes is table to the weakness of the politically-based of our police. Rowdica and desperadoes may be said sometimes in reality to have appointed themselves policemen. Many ‘of them are the organiz: or rather disorgonizers, of ) form and carry th and greatly assist int own choice; and then « for their reward, places in the police department. Aldermen are thus tempted to pledgethe appointment of men of whose unfitness they are fully aware. They are thus often made to 4hbiik that such a course is necessary to procure their own election, to conciliate Cia and clases, and to wecure the predominance of their own party. Thus, in some instances, incompetent men, and persons of the worst character, have obtained place nmong ‘worthy members of the department. Such olficers n known to aid and abet their former nd continued, lawless associates, in the com- wTimary political meetings. tickets, and nominate dermen of their of theft and burglary, and to con- nive at acts of violence and crime. De bread on pgm for their office and their dail success of certain candidates, they feel the neces- sity of carrying their own tickets at primary and i elections, no matter what fraud and violence it may Ln ge Their political opponents they will arrest, harrass to the extent of their power, while screening and aidiag their political friends in Jawleraness and outrage. ‘This entire dependence on the success of an election for their means of living Jeads even the better members of the department to 2 dereliction of duty; and thusa policeman is too apt & become 2 politician by profession. The for this evil is to be sought only in the above yop Theasures—taking from the Alder- men all power as magistrates and judges ; making tho ntof Aldermen, and indepen- dont oe aeereaeet eleetions; giving the ower of ap) and trial to a body over which police- men have no control or influence; and m: it in- cumbent on this body to select competent and faith- ful men, whose good behavior alone shall Gx the ferm of their office. 4s 4 only by removing these influences from the ndge,or both, and a major- | election of Aldermen that we can succeed in eleva- ting more cay and more honest men to repre- sent the city in the Common Council. 4th. The two branches of the Common Counail should represent different constituencies. If the Board of Aldermen be left as at present, and _elect- ed every two years, then the other Board should have alarger number of representatives, elected for one year, and-each representing a smaller but distinct ict. For this purpose the city should be divided into districts, without regard to the wards, but with a view to embrace within each district an equal amount of population. By adopting this provision, which prevails in the national and all the State legis- latures, one branch of the Common Council would exercise a beneficial check and control over the other; whereas at present,the Aldermen and Assis- tant Aldermen, representing precisely the same con- stituencies, become as it were one body, and one of the branches, being a duplicate of the other, may be considered as nearly useless. 5th. Let the Board of Supervisors and the Com- missioners of the Sinking Fund be abolished; transfer- ring their executive powers to the Mayor and Comp: | troller, and their legislative Anties to the Common | Council. These two bodies, without being of any ad- vantage to the public,can more readily than the Com- | mon Council be made to subserve bad ends. Their | business is comparatively conducted in secret, while chartered provision is made for publication of the proceedings of the Common Council ; and the nom and the public can, and will, better watch one body than three. Besides, the Common Council is under strict provisions in regard to the expenditure of pub- lic money; the Board of Supervisors is under none. | ‘The Common Council is subject to the veto of the | Mayor; the Boardjof Su rs is not. Hxpendi- | tures which have, from their iniquity, failed to pass the two Boards of the Common Council, or to obtain | the approval of the Mayor, have subsequently ame | edthe Board of Supervisors. Contracts, involving large and improper appropriations, have passed the Board of Supervisors, which could not be sanctioned by the Mayor and Common Council, and especially when re-organized, as contemplated by the foregoing _ peer There is no necessity of one ranch of the Common Council to attend to the county business, when it can, with more benefit to the public, be performed by both branches, under the approval of the Mayor. _ 6th. Let all proposed acts of the Common Council | including an expenditure of poner: or receipt of money by the corporation, be published immediately after their passage by the first Board, and at least three days before the action of the second Board. | ith. Let all property of the city, when sotd, be | sold by public auction, except when pre-emptive rights or franchises may be injuriously affected by | | such mode of sale. | 8th. The question whether the people of this city | shall continue toemploy omnibuses, or adopt the use of railroads in certain streets, is one that should , be left to themselves to decide. If a SOnTEy Ene by | omnibuses, in any particular street, be preferred by | citizens, then the power of the State Legislature to exclude those vehicles, and establish railroads in | their place, should not be exercised. It is a ques- | | tion in which the residents and property holders of | this city alone have an interest, and one in which | the inhabitants of the interior of the State feel no | | concern, and in which they do not desire to exercise any authority. Whenever bills regarding the city of | | New York are proposed in the Legislature at Albany, | | that body always profesres to act, and admits the | jostice of acting, only in accordance with the wishes of citizens here. Why, then, should our citizens go | to Albany to ask for a law on a mere municipal mat- | ter—which interests the city alone and not any other | part of the State—concerning which the Legislature professes not to exercise its own judgment, but to act only in accordance with the ascertained willof the | people of this city? If our Albany peceaiercre sara | | upon this a the responsibility of determining its | | own municipal laws, then why invoke the useless for- mality of their further confirmation? But,if we are to | ask the State for one local regulation, then may we | ask it to enact all the details of our municipal affairs, | and transfer the entire city legislation at once to Al- | | bany. The State Legislature, always professing to act | in accordance with the will of the people of this city, | has but very inadequate means for ascertaining what | that will is. That body may be, and has been, im- | posed on. Laws, the most iniquitous and unjust, ave been passed under representations that their en- | | actment was demanded by the whole city, while their | | passage has been studiously kept a secret to all but | | an interested clique of lobby members; and, when | | pasced, have afterwards been received with surprise | and universal disepproval. Much of the disorganiza- tion, of the inefficiency, and of the conflicting provi- sions of our municipal government, has been | duced by special legislation at Albany, procure various cliques who had their own eat to serve. If the Legislature, by special acts, aa is now pro- | posed, is to authorize the construction of each par- | ticular railroad in this city, then the people here will | have no power to remove such road in case of ita be- | coming objectionable. On the contrary, if railroad | tracks are to be laid by authority of the city, they can be taken up by the same authority. The right | of constructing or of removing railroads in this city belongs to its own people ; and we believe that by | of - nearly all citizens are opposed to ita surrender to the State. Thus, we believe that any special Pee the State, on a purely municipal matter, like that of de- ciding for the people of this city the mode and man- ner of their conveyance through the streets to and from their places’ of business, would but still more strongly confirm dangerous precedents, and lead to results which would still more injuriously affect the 1ights and liberties of our citizens. For these reasons, | We believe that the subject of the public conveyance of passengers through the streets of the city of New York—as well as all other merely municipal mat- _ ters—should, under well-guarded provisions of the charter, be left for decision to the people, whose in- | terests are alone concerned. | _ In amending the fundamental law of this city, care should be taken to embrace in the charter such re- striction ecks, and responsibilities, as the Legia- | lature may deen necesary to prevent injustice, to | protect the public and individual interests, and to regulate the corporate acts of the city. While thus, on the one hand, guarding the corporation against | the abuse of power, and establishing the general prin- | ciples under which its authority shall be exercised; ou the other hand, adequate provision should be made to confer, exclusively and perpetually, on the city le- | gitlature, ample power to ordain all’ municipal laws and regulations—thus removing the necessity or | | excuse for continued appeals to the State tor special enactments, which have been found so injurious to | the interests of the city. | | _ Believing that amendments to the charter, em- | | bodying substantially the above, and perhaps other and minor provisions, would afford the only effective | remedy for the great municipal wrongs now suffered, we ass that an enactment be accordingly made by the present Legislature, and that it be submitted | to the people of this city for their approval or rejec- tion, at an election to Le called for this purpose. An | especial election will remove the question of amend- ments to the charter from the conflicting and dan- | gerous infinences of a general election, and will alone secure to the people an opportunity for a free ex- pression of their opinion. it will prevent candidates from attacking a proposed amended charter, by turn- ing against it the votes of their friends—who would otherwice vote for its adoptiun—for the purpose of conciliating those voters who might be interested in perpetuating present abuses.

There was a slight let up in the market to-day. ‘The transactions comprise a greater variety of stocks, while some of the fancies which lately have been quite active show a falling off in business. An un- usual quantity of Canton was offered this morning, and large sales made. Nicaragua was better, both in prices and demand. At the first board Nicaragua advanced j per cent; Phoenix, 4; Cumberland, 4; Canton Company, 3; Morris Canal, 3; Florence and Keyport, 4; Parker Vein, }; Harlem, 3; Hudson Railroad, 4; Sixth Avenue Railroad, 4; Norwich and Worcester Railroad, j; Panama Railroad de- clined 10 per cent since last sale ; Reading Rail- road, 4. At the second board Phonix Company went up 4 per cent; Cumberland, 3; Nicaragua, 4; Stonington Railroad, 4. After the board there was a further improvement, Cumberland closed at 51, bid; Erie, 833; Morris Canal, 20j; Nicaragua, 314. The market was not strong. We do not think this improvement can be sustained. The time is not yet for a favorable change. It will be some weeks before the basis will become strong enough to sustain an advance. Inthe meantime, prices will not vary much; | they appear to have reached about the lowest depth. It is well known that many of the fancies on the list are selling for more than double their actual valuc; but holders manage in some way to sustain them, and for some time past prices have been pretty uni- form. Government and State stocks, and railroad bonds, have been in fair demand, and have com- manded full rates. Bank stocks continue to be of- fered to about the usual extent, without change in market value. The money market was o shade easier to-day, and that is about all. There is still a good deal of inquiry for money from the commercial classes. The receipts at the office of the Assistant Treasu- rer of this port to-day amounted to $101,080 44; payments, $189,895 11—balance, $6,985,558 79. The earnings of the Albany and Schenectady Railroad Company for the month of February, 1853, amounted to $17,771 84, against $12,308 91 for the same month last year. Increase in the month this | year $5,452 93, equal to forty-four per cent. The earnings of the Western and Atlantic Railroad of Georgia, for the month of February, 1853, amount- ed to $48,721 68. Same month in 1852, $28,382 02. Increase in February, 1853, $20,339 66. In relation to the Boston stock market, the Courier of that city says:—‘ The stock market is dull and heavy, with a decline in prices, At the | second board yesterday Vermont Central fell off to 153, the lowest point touched since September 8, 1852. Ogdensburg and East Boston were each a shade lower, though but little stock was pressed upon the market. Edgeworth declined to 54 at the first beard. in consequence, probably, of the call for a special meeting of the stockholders, March 29, to determine upon the subject of issuing new stock Vermont and Massachusetts declined from Monday's extreme, but held up to 19] bid, 19} asked, with a fair demand. Dividend stocks, both bank and rail- | road, are heavy, at a decline. Bank of North America was sold yesterday at 104, and more | stock offered at the same. Commerce, 107 asked, Columbian 103 asked, Boston 57 asked, and several others in proportion, being a reduction of one to three percent from previous quotations. A few ofthe banks command high prices, 114 being bid for Boylston, Exchange 1104, Globe 113, Market 874 (par 70), Merchants’ 1125, New England 113, and Suffolk 132. Boston and Lowell Railroad has declined to par, a price so unusual for this heretofore sound stock, that the ‘oldest inhabitant” can hardly recall the like. Boston and Worcester, under a flood of stock, has fallen te 1003; Portland and Saco 994; Western 993; Manchester and Lawrence 99; Northern 574, and Passumpsic 46. Boston and Providence is firm at 88} bid; Con- cord 56 bid; Michigan Central 1054 bid; Nashua and Lowell 110 bid; Worcester and Nashua 56, sales. The annexed sale of stock was made in Cincinnati on Saturday the 1%th inst. :— 1 share Cincinnati and Hamilton Turnpike Co. $50, $5 ; 1 share Cincinnati Lake Superior Mining Co. $50, $2 50 ; 56 shares Cincinns 1Co $5 each, $5 ; 10 shares Cin- cinnati Fuel Co., $5 ; 45 shares Lebanon and Sprisgfeld Co. stock. $6 ; 60 shares Little Miami Railroad C>. stock, 11834; 100 shares Mad River Railroad stock, 9014 } 150 shares Cincinnati and Hillsborough Railroad stock, £0; 3 shares Cincinnati, Hamilton, and Dayton Rail: road stock, 105; 50de., 10434 ; 118 shares Eaton and Hamilton Railroad stock, 70. At a meeting of the stockholders of the Phoenix Coal Mining and Manufactoring Company, held a | few days since, the President read a communication, | giving the result of his examinations and investiga- tions upon the company’s property in the Cumber- | land coal region. The report of the meeting will be found at length in another column. It will be par- ticularly interesting to stockholders generally, and | especially so to those who purchased at prices con- siderably above those now current. No one has, for a moment, doubted the value of coal property in the Westernport section of the Cumberland coal district ; but great and just complaints have been made in consequence of the frequent delays experienced in getting the coal to market. We do not see that the | Pheenix company have made any progress during | the past twelve months. Last year, at this time, ac- cording to their own statement, they were just as near getting out coal as they are now ; and we have | no guaranty that they will be any nearer twelve months hence. The communication of the President is'all very satisfactory so far as it goes. It is full time something more was shown for the expendi- ture of labor and capital than paper reports. There has been a good deal said about the fourteen foot vein, and about the good quality of the coal from that vein. It is now necessary to let the public sec the article, and for the stockholders to know that operations are going on actively and productively: Anything short of this will fail to satisfy the public | mind. ‘The annexed statement exhibits the quantity and value of merchandise exported from this port during the week ending and including Saturday, March 19, 1853, distinguishing the destination, and extent of ehij mente to each place.

Fxcoss of imports over exports. ‘The excess thus far this month has averaged about three millions per week. At this rate, the aggregate excess for the month will exceed twelve millions-of dollars, This will be much greater than that of the | month of February, which exceeds any previous | month within our recollection. The total value of imports in March, 1852, including specie, was $13,277,242. In the first three weeks of 1 | March this year, the aggregate value of imports was n | $13,831,916—showing an excess in three weeks, this | year, of $554,674, over the imports in four anda half weeks in 1862. Last week the importations | into this port Were valued at upwards of five millions | of dollars. If for this week the entries are as large, the total for the month will be full fifty per cent greater than in March, 1825. In the face of this enor- mous importation the outward movement of specie continues limited and rates for foreign exchange very much reduced: This is most extraordinary, 6,780 | | Railroad are to be put under contract immediately. | As the company*hes sufficient funds on hand for the | wealth has invested in works of internal improve- | is already undercontract. It is contemplated that | the work will be completed during the ensuing year, | and has been the subject of legislative attention. and entirely out of the usual course of things.— 80 much so that there must soon be a change. The recent extensive purchases of foreign exchange by dealers look as though an active demand was an- ticipated; and it cannot be far off. If very heavy remittances of specie are not made, we shall be very much mistaken, We are burning our candle at both ends. The imports, thus far, this year, have been unusually large, and the exports unusually small. ‘This leaves a wider difference than we ever had be- fore in the same length of time; and, of course, a larger balance to liquidate. The Committee of Finance of the Virginia Legis- lature have made the following statement of the debts and liabilities of the State on the lst of March, 1863 :— Finances or Vinamia—Resources AND LIABILITIES. $16,569,615 31 and Literary Fund, 1,522,518 91 Old valid subscriptions, 1,144,269 46 Authorized by former la: 684,460 00 Guaranteed bonds, 3,914,874 00 Temporary loans.

Investments have been made in other works equal to $1,409,988 94, but as they have yielded no dividend heretofore, though in a state of completion, no profit is expected from them through the future. We learn, from the Parkersburg News, that all tho remaining sectious on the Northwestern Virginia completion of the entire work, the intention is to put at least six thousand men upon the road, and have it completed without delay. ‘The construction of the Nashville and New Orleans Railroad seems to be no longer a matter of doubt. It will be 600 miles in length, and will cost from $10,- 000,000 to $15,000,000. About $3,500,000 of the amount has been raised, and a portion of the route from New Orleans to the Mississippi line. The New Haven and Hartford Railroad Company have issued proposals for a loan of $400,000, drawing six per cent interest, payable semi-annually in New York, the principal redeemable in twenty years. These bonds are a partof an issue of one million of dollars, by which the bonds due in August and Feb- ruary next are to be redeemed, and by which, also, money is to be raised to finish the double track. When the old bonds are paid, these will be the only lien on the road. Proposals for the bonds will be re- ceived at the Uaion Bank in this city, until 3 o'clock on the afternoon of the 31st inst. The Houston (Texas) Register, of the 1st inst., says:—Great excitement has been created in the towns on this side of the Rio Grande, opposite El Paso, by the discovery of some very valuable silver mines on the eastern slope of the mountains, about sixty miles northeast of Donna Anna. The ore is | found in immense quantities, directly on the surface of the ground, and several tons of it had already been gathered and transported on mules to Magofinsville, and smelted. The ore is so rich that the silver is extracted readily by melting it with a common log fire of pine. Lead ore is also found in extensive veins, traversing the rocks in every direction. We are informed that thousands of tons of lead ore simi- lar to that obtained at the lead mines near Galena, can be gathered on the surface of the ground, on the mountains east of El Paso. The Richmond (Indiana) Palladium says there is something out of joint connected with the manage- ment of State bonds, which has lately come to light» The difficulty grows out of a discrepancy of several hundred thousand dollars between the accounts of the Auditor and the Agent of the State, as shown in bre following report to the House of Representa- tives :— Inpiana State Bonps.
