The person to whom he gave the Sixth Sistrict had some low conversation with him, after srhich he called ie, and said that he had ruled me out altogether, I should have no contract whatever.

I made the nbove bids in good faith, and intended to perform all Zhat the contract required, and w fied that I pould make a fair profit even out of my bid, and knew Zhat I was entitled to the contracts; but upon the last interview with Mr. Glasier I judged that he did not ia Zend to give me the contracta Ithen ayplied to Judge Wlarke, of the Snperior Court, for an injanction to westrain theCommissioner from giving the work to other contractors at a higher price than my bida, which was ETanted B.

Hoping that this, his pe- . may find favor a ihe sight of your honorable body, your petitioner, av induty bound, will ever pray, &e JOHN N. GENIN. Mr. IlopGkINson said, as one of the representa- tives of the Tenth ward, he would say that they had no right to give out any further contracts. The charter of 1853 forbid any such action on their part. Mr. Kennepy said that he desired to saya few words relative tothe petition. When the gentle- man presented a similar petition the other evenin, t, cova $400 per honorable body might know the impudence of the said Genin, and 1 was abused for it by all the newspapers who hold Mr. Genin up for Mayor, and sapport his measure for cleaning a ward at a great deal higher price than the gentlemen to whom the contract had al- ready been aworded. Mr. Genin offered to clean the ward for $400 per week, while the contractor offers to do it for $181. Now, in view of those facts, he thought the offer of Mr. Genin was not so very patriotic after all, He then called Mr. Genin the head scavenger of New York, and concluded by saying that he would meet but little sympathy among the members of the Common Council. Mr, Srety—I move to lay the petition on the table. Agreed to.. RESOLUTIONS REFERRED. That the sidewalks on Sixth avenue, between 123d and L29th street, be flagged under the direction of the Street Commissioner.

On motion, the rules were changed by a two- third vote, so that the Board could meet every day during the warm weather, except Saturdays and ys, beginning at four o'clock, so that their business could be finished in ten consecutive nights.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEW YORK HERALD. Alfred Carson, Chief Engineer of the Fire Depart. ment, has placed in my hands the following docu ments, addressed to the Common Council of the city of New York, which have never been published in the pub- lic journals, They are on the subjects of insubordina. tion and the Broadway calamity, on both of which Mr. Carson has been grossly misrepresented by several news- popers in this city. As an act of justice, therefore, to my friend, and in order that the public may read valua- ble suggostions respecting the correction of the evils of insubordination in the Fire Department, I respectfally request you to publish the following compilation of Mr. Carvon’s recent reports STEPHEN H.

Nor should the subtle excure that their ranks were too thin, screen the com- panies from merited punishment, For, if they would nly resolve to have No vagabonds about their appara- tus or bovses, (bey would toon get rif of them, when respeciable persons would gladly fll up their ranks, thas sated by the runners they’ bad harbored.

Chief Engineer's Office, June 5, 18: Mr. Genin’s Dirty Streets Manifesto. TO THE PROPLE OF THE CITY OF NEW YORK. Faicow.Crrizexs—On Monday last, the 12th inst., I ad- dressed to the Common Council a reepectful communi- cation setting forth the filthy condition of the Sixteenth wardin which I reside, asking that an appropriation be made for its purification, and offering, if the necessary funds were voted, to superintend the work, giving sxeu- rity for the faithful application of the money and re- ceipts and vouchers for all sums expenled. This com- munication was presented to the Board of Councilmen on Monday evening, and provoked, as it appears from the papers, and as I learn from other sources, a storm of indignation, which burst upon my devoted headin such phrases as ‘impudent assumption,” “ volunteer feavenger," + popularity hunter,” “wants to be Mayor,” “who's Genin, 1 should like to know?” “ho wants four hondred dollars a week,’? and the like. Some Ronorable membcrs wished to lay the communication on the table, others to throw {it out of the window, and a third party were for returntnz jt to mo to be shaped into & mre HoMble ond reapeetfal form—beginali of T sup- pore, with “tht petition hambly showeth,”’ and ending with “and your petitioner shall evor pray,’ &e. It was alleged, Lunderstand, in the course of ihe debate, that the Beard had no ‘power to make any appropriation of the kiod solicited, and that the application ought to Lave bern made to the Street Department Now, fellow-citizens, you and 1 remember that in the spring when the Common Connell refused to vote the necessary sum for cleaning the et ‘imilar grounds, the Board of Health, at the suggestion of the press, took the matter in hand; a large appropriation was made, and the City Inspector was authorised to remove the sirate of filth, extending to an unknown depth, that overlaid the city. Thi system was (9 by gontiqued yo by the ‘the companies implicate: can show | been presented to the Common ‘ teria: the power to'n ‘il the contracts for street cleaning under the mew ebarter should be perfected. it is now several weeks since the bids for those contracts te Se to a oeeeg.

For wyself, as a taxpayer of the Sixteenth ward, [ claim, in common with my fellow taxpayers in that ward, the right of yetition and remonstrance ina matter of vital importance to pealth of the ward. Tne charge of “impudenee,”’ it appears to me, should be applied to thore who deny or contemn that right. We sre compelled by law to bay certain sums annually, for which we are to receive cer- tain benefits im re*urn, such ax due protection for our lives und property. and if we pay for these things, co not receive the stipulates guid pro quo, wo are ure- ly justified in ashing the government that we suport to perform art of thi foice contract. If this priaci- ple dente, then Geoy 1¢ obligations of the citizens to pay taxes; nay, ] go farther than that, and say, if the | reciprecity is to be all on one side, if we ate to be re- pelled with abuse when we ask the city goverament to fll its portion of the condition of the mutual bond between the rulers and the ruled, the taxed and the tax- levyers, the sooner we adopt s provigional systew and leave our unfuithful and insolent representatives to their own device, the better. Werpay our public servants to execute certain trusts confided to them, and if they will not execute them, and 7d insult to injury when we re- monstrate we must do the work ourselves. In arking for au appropriation to remove the filth in the sixteenth ward, | was actuated by no other motive than a desire to prevent the visi ation of a pestileace. If apy man coubt that there is plenty of material for one ia that quarter, let tim visitthe ward and take the testi- mony of his eyes and nose [appeal to my fello# citizens of the Sixteenth ward if 1 have exaggerated the case. Thore members of the Council Board who thought fit to callme an ‘scavenger,’ were not altogether wrong. I slaved for hours while they were asleep, and without compenation, in orcer that they, as well as others, night buvea clean Broadway to traverse in the morniag; and I accomplished the object. Ergo, Lama scavenzer, but Iam also a tex paying cilizen, and as such, claim and will exercite tre right of petitioning to and remon- strating with inefiicient representatives, at tue risk of being assailed with unsavory epithe conduct aitributed to improper motives. I cannot conclave these remarks, prompted by the | feelings of the moment, but not, I think, soy stronger than the case requires, without thanking those members of the Council Bowd who were in favor of giving my re spectful communication due consideration. ‘This evening I propese to cend another paper to the Council Poard, couched in such terms as Ltrust will be, suitable to the dignity of that body, ana not offensive to the most fastidious and refined of the honorable meinbers.

B., onboard of which a marder was said to bave been committed a few ‘nights since, sailed on Tuesday for St. John, the captain and crew, as the police report, having been intoxicated. seems to be some doubt of a murder having been com- witted on board the vessel. The mate, when he inform- ed the police that James Fox, a private watchman, had been thiown overbuard was tly intoxicated, and on Deing questioned closely, said that he thought Fox had been thrown overboard, boarding house runner, and not one of the cre, throw him overboard. A small boy who was on tho vessel at | the time, states that he saw Fox in the water, and that a map ina mail boat picked him up.
