FIRST SQUABBLE OF THE OCTOBER TEKM—THE RQUINOCTIAL STORM. Alderman Ssrra rose for the purpose of making a mo- tion to reconsider the vote of referring a petition praying for a removal of the rails of the Harlem Railroad from the Bowery to Crosby street. The Committee on Streets, to whom it was referred have never reported, and that was his reason for making the motion. He asked the Chair- man of the Committee on Streets if he had reported, and if he had, when did he do so? 3 Alderman Conxri1—As Chairman of the Committee on Streets, I wi answer you. I have not reported, Alderman Svrri—I asked the Chairman to report some time since, and he told me that he did not know whether he couki report or not. The reason of the gentle- man of the Eleventh was that several accidents had taken ace on that road. Buta few days ago, Mr. Fly, who mut two years ago, sat in that board, had been seriously injured, and was at present confined to his bed from the injuries he sustained. ‘Alderman Dowxrry said it was not in accordance with parliamentary rules to ask a committee to report. They would report when they were ready, and at such time as they could best do their duty to their constituents. Alderman Conxkii—The committee have been very busy of late, and have not time to prepare their report. The gentleman of the Eleventh never asked the commit- tee to report, and he told a lie if he said so. Alderman Svrrm had spoken with Aldermen Cornell and Francis upon the subject that very evening, and that asa matter of course, throws the lie back into Alderman Cornell's face. Alderman Conveit—He again repented that Alderman Smith never «poke to him about it, and that was his re ply to the lying portion of his remarks. ‘AMerman Dorerry—Had the greatest respect for the gentleroan of the Fleventh, but he really thought it would be of t benefit to him if he minded his own business: He had not the slightest doubt of hix wich to see the re- port brought up, but he should not be so ungentlemanly as to move for a re-consideration of the vote referring the petition to the Committee on Streets. That Committee had already performed their duty with diligence and alae rity, and would make # report a# soon as possible, and when they thought proper. Alderman Stvrrevayt—What is the motion before the board, Mr. President? Crammas—The question is now on the motion of Alier- man Smith to re-consider. Alderman Surm—I will withdraw my motion for the present, but will give notice that I will renew it again on ‘ednesday evening. Alderman Comwxis. hoped that the Board would not allow the gentleman pf the Eleventh ward to withdraw his motion. A Mester (to Alderman Smith.)—Why did you make the motion, if you intended after ‘ing all this talk about it, to withdraw it. Tam astonished at your appa- rent wich to waste our precious time The Cuarrmay—The Clerk having began to take the ayes and nays on the motion of the gentleman of the Eleventh ward, before he offered to withdraw his motion, will, as a matter of course, be voted upon by the Hourd The question on the motion to reconsider the petition” was then put, and almost unanimously lost. A SHAVING CTF, A report of the Committee on Accounts, in favor of con- curring with the Board of Assistants to direct the various departments to report monthly the receipts and expenses of their departments to the Couunon Council, having been read, Alderman SrcRrTevayt rose, and moved that they coneur with the Board of Assistants. Alderman Donrxry rose for the purpose of opposing the concurrence of the report. He had not time at present to state his views for opposing the motion of Alderman Stur- tevant, but he intended to have his head shaved before Wednesday, so that he could show up the gentleman of the Third. of laughter.) Alderma: ‘took the joke very, humoredl; ot Teplied that the gentleman a a SEopteent woud justly be invited. nire to have bis head shaved, as his mental facultios had of late been very much clotted, and it would be of the most infinite importance to his constituents if he had his cranium shaved to a “full fight.” (Roars of laughter from Aldermen, lobbyers, and others.) BOARD OF ASSISTANT ALDERMEN. REFUSAL TO CONCUR IN THE REMOVAL OF THK CHIRY ENGINEER, ‘The first session of the Board of Assistants for the pre- sent month, was held last evening, Considerable anxi- ety was manifested by the friends of the Chief Engineer of the Fire Department, to know what action they would take on the subject of the removal of that officer by the Board of Aldermen, during the last seasion of that body. There was, therefore, a larger number of persons present than usual, and when the Board, as will be seen, refused to concur in the action of the Board of Aldermen, on ac- count of its alleged illegality, they expressed their appro- bation by the most enthusiastic applause. The subject came up on the reading of the resolution from the other Board, removing the Chief Engineer, when three motions ‘were made—one for reference, one to lay on the table, and one to refer it to the Committee on Laws and Ordinances. Pefore any of these motions were put by the President, Mr. Barker spoke briefly, as follows:— The resolutions before us this evening contemplate the removal of an officer of the city government, and the first question we should ask before taking any action in the matter, is what right have we to remove this officer? Pro- vision has been made for the removal of this officer, and others, by the Common Council, upon charges properly sustained. But before he can be removed. It ts necessary first that the charges should be proved, that he have an opportunity to answer them. and that the vote for his removal, be passed by two-thirds of the Common Council, and finally receive the sanction of the Mayor. These re- solutions, as they came before the Board in an illegal form, cannot be acted upon by this Board. The Board of Aldermen had no right to pass this resolution, and besides it was not passed, as the law requires, by a two-third vote, nor had the officer an opportunity of being heard. It ix the duty of this Board, therefore, to refuse to act upon it, or, in other words, to lay it upon the table. T say we have no more right to refer than we have to concur, for by doing either we sanction the illegal proceedings of the Board of Aldermen. Thave no bias upon this matter, and do not desire to ex- press my opinion upon the propriety or impropriety of the uestion involved. I will reserve myself till it can"be fairly investigated, and the officer has an opportuni being heard. I move, therefore, to lay these papers upon the table. The Preapest put this motion, and it was passed uaan- impusly. A motion was then made and adopted that the papers be referred toa special committee of three. The Following are the names of the members appointed:— Assistant Aldermen McConkey, Barker, and Tait. = _ When the Board decided to lay the papers upon'the table there was an outburst of applause, which, however, was promptly suppressed. The Board adjourned till five o'clock on Wednesday. Court of General Sessions. Before His Honor Recorder Tillou. THE OCTOBER TERM—EMPANNELMENT OF THE GRAND JUGY— RECORDER'S CHARGE. Ocr. 3.—This being the first day of the October term, the Grand Jury were empannelled and the names of the petit jurors recorded, A quorum having been atJlength obtained, the Clerk, Mr. Vandervoort, then proceeded’ to swear the following persons as Grand Jurors for the present term:— Brown, foreman; Henry Allen, Elisha Bloomer, artlet, Samuel M. Blatchford. Thomas G. Cauldwell, Elias Dexter, Daniel B. Dack, William Forbes, Howel Hoppock, Walter Lockwood, James Lee, Francis W. Iarak, Adam Norvil, P. J. Nevins, Jr., Walden Pell, David Ramsay. His Honor the Recorder then rose and delivered his charge to the Grand Jury, substantially as follows: GeNtieMeN oF THe Graxp Jury :-— & Upon your being convened, it is the duty of the Cow to explain to you briefly your powers and duties, and to direct your attention to such matters as require it. The powers of Grand Juries are, in all cases important, and their duties extremely responsible. mn the exercise of the former depend to an essential degree the mainte- nance and majesty of the laws—the happiness, the health, the comfort, and the security of society; and depend, also, the destiny of those who may be accused before them, and often, too, of many of those related to them. Wherefore the extreme necessity of care and wisdom, of impartiality and fearlessness, of correct judgment and aright sense of duty in their official proceedings. In this county, from the extent and unprecedented increase of its population, and their connections; the multitude of strangers within its limits, and the large numbers ever coming to and going from it; the extraordinary variety of the people there abiding, in character, condition, habits, education, and pursuits; in business, occupation, amuse- ments, and pleasure; the almost universal activity in every species of industry and enterprise, its vast com- merce and its wealth, its luxuries and resources— from its peculiar position as the great breakwater for the outpourings of the Old World, of all classes of persons, the exiles and unfortunate as well as the prosperous; the low as well as the high: the helpless and the destitute as well as the useful and the well provided—from these circumstances, it is to be expected that depravity, vice, and crime, in some in- creased and proportionate degree, will also ‘be here, and that the duties of the Grand Juries of this county neces- sarily must be, as they are, peculiarly onerous. It is on your industry, patience, and sense of duty, reliance must placed for the performance of your task. In general, mu are to examine into, and upon competent proof, to Thiet for all public offences or acts tending to them, in- cluding all the various classes of crimes; including (and by the statute laws of the State as to these the Court is directed specially to charge you so to do,) the duty of in- quiring into any violation of the election laws, of the usury laws, of the violation of the laws by public officers in demanding, charging, or receiving fees to which they are not legally entitled, and of the laws against lotteries. As to the violations of the laws against lotteries, Ihave, on previous occasions, especially asked the attention of Grand Juries to this class of evils. Because both the statutes and the constitution of the State are emphatic in their denunciation of this vice, and because of the bold and systematic indulgence in it yet practised notwith- standing. I call your attention, also, to this, and to the additional vice which flows from’ it—I mean the insurance of lottery tickets. This latter evil may be said to be co-extensive with the city, for in nearly every street is the offence daily perpetrated. It is the cause of as much additional and other crime, and the cause of as much wide-spread misery among the humble classes as any vice in existence. The other offences, above mentioned, to which your attention by the statutes is directed to be called, each and every oh tien are grave and important, and your ‘particular attention to them is requested. “A former Grand Jury, from want of suffl- cient time, not being able to investigate the subject of tenant houses, suggested the propriety of bringing it be- fore subsequent Grand Juries. I, therefore, ask your at- tention to this evil. It is evidently increasing, and, un- less prompt and timely measures be taken to punish in every instance herein of criminal violation ‘of the law, it will ‘acquire a power difficult to overcome. The previous Grand Jury, with commendable energy, presented, in the cases brought before them, and to an extraordinary num- ber, the violation of the law in selling liquor without license. The confession of most of the parties indicted proves the great extent of the evil, and accounts too truly for its consequences. They recommend the same subject to the attention of succeeding Grand Juries. Your aid in Samuel F, enforcing the laws herein, is, therefore, invoked. There are many other topica to which your attention may hey include ali violations of law in the arrangement and employment of all buildings for the accommodation of large numbers of people; in the con- struction and employment of steamers, steam engines and locomotives, within the county; the driving of cattle through the streets, and the wilful violations and neglect of duties by public officers. The Court is directed by law to charge you not to disclose the fact of an indictment being found for felony against persons not in actual con- finement until on such indictment he shall have been ar- rested, and a violation of this charge is a misdemeanor. It is in all cases best—indeed, it ix right and justt—hat your proceedings be not disclosed except to the function- aries appointed by law to receive your communications. It is a frequent custom for Grand Juries to make general presentments at the close of theirterm, This should only be done with care and circumspection. Facts, only, amounting to precise publie evils or offences, should be stated; mere allegations of belief and indiscriminate charges against a whole municipality or community, should, if possible, be avoided. Injustice and public i jury may otherwise flow from this: the character or repu- tation of a whole city may thus be wrongfully and deep- ly stained. In these presentations of a general na ture, the names of persons implicated, and the testimony taken, should not be inserted unless upon very strong and fully justifiable cause; for if individuals are to be #0 held up, without the opportunity of trial, irrepa- rable injury must result to them, and without redress, ‘The same rules which govern magistrates in the discreet exercise of their powers in preliminary examinations, should govern grand juries in their proceedings; the pub. Kieation of such testimony may destroy the reputation of innocent persons, and may, in case of guilt, enable the culprits to escape, and thns defeat the ends of justice. In these general presentments it is dangerous to the secu- rity and happiness of the citizen, and of society, to per. mit any impeachment, whether direct or by implication, to be included. If facts sufficient to establish an offence be demonstrated by competent proof, let the accusation inthe form preseribed by law, that is to say, by lawful indictment, be found, so that the aceused party may have an opportunity to defend himself, and society be protect- ed, For the purpose of indictment, earnest endeavors should be made to obtain the proof; if you should have reasonable doubts, give the accused the benefit of them. In all cases you are bound to use extreme care; to examine and consi- der without prejudice or preposseasion, fear or favor; to re- member in every case the importance of your action You are not ‘to forget that minor asa well as high crimes deserve full and grave consideration, for the erroneous finding, or emission to find an indict ment, may cause serious injury. The calendar contains ten cases of murder, nine of burglary, twenty-one of grand larceny, six of robbery, two of manslaughter, five of at- tempt to kill, four of forgery, four of abandonment, one of infanticide, one of attempt at rape, and one of embezzle- ment. In'no case can an indictment be found unless twelve votes are in the affirmative. In all cases where you require counsel or advice you are to apply to the Dis- trict Attorney, as your lawful adviser. The Court’ then adjourned for the day, in consequence of a meeting of the Bar taking place that day, to adopt certain measures with respect to the decease of the late Chief Justice Jones, ee REE EON ESSE soronr by the Rev.
