aE — eee nani.) never been heard of since. If the aldermin of the Becond ward Sas pronoeed any other measure, ex- cept the confirmation of the absurd Hayes pave- ment contract, we have forgotten what it was. Nevertheless, he is an honest and conscientious al- derman, and always abides by his word, which is more than we can say of some other whigs and “ re- formers” in the Board. Mr. Radical Reformer Blunt, of the Third ward, bas introduced a multitude of very silly resolutions of inquiry, upon the heads of de; ments, which have resulted in no reformatory action whatever. If atrader in the Third ward leaves a box upon the sidewalk, Reformer Blunt, at the first meeting of the Beard, introduces a resolution, inquiring of the Cor- tion Attorney if the man has been prosecuted, ww much he was fined, and what was done with the money. We suppose Alderman Blunt has laced upon record about a hundred resolu- te of like importance, since he assumed aldermanic dignity, besides a grand scheme for introducing a printing office into the Lia beg office, and emp! oying: printers instead of acriveners to record deeds! He also projected a brilliant scheme for making steam fire engines of all the ferry boats, and made an effort to palm off upon the city ahumbug reflector to light the public docks; but after these matters had been noticed in the public s, they were never more heard of. The most Sormaiig achievement of Mr. Reformer Blunt was, however, the brillant figure he made in the Creighton veception affair. The reproduction of some old re- solutions drafted in 1848, by Morris Franklin, com- timentary to the sailor Jerome, and the presenta- of them and a gold snuff box to the Scotch Captain of theship Three Bells, at the Astor House, in a speech “e fial to Denon tenes in bie best days,” was the crowning glory of Mr. Reformer Blunt, and will hand his name down to posterity as chief among the geniuses of “reform” that com the Com- mon Council of 1854. The fact that he paid from his own private resources, for the gold box present- ed tothe Scotchman, in behalf of the city, is also recorded, to his credit and the city’s shame, upon ‘the journals of the Board of Aldermen; but the fact that he has ever projected anything to reduce taxa- tion or benefit the city in the least de, has not yet been discovered. So much for Reformer Blunt, whom the Wide.dwake denominates the smooth bore of the Board. ‘The next reform Tey in order is the profound gentleman from the Eighth, Mr. Out-and-out Reform- er Tucker, a relic of the old Native American Board of Aldermen which immortalized iteelf one Fourth of July by abolishing booths around the Park, and by mane three or four tons of ice into the fountain, and ig tin dippers around it, with an invitation to the people to “drink hearty!” Father Tucker ‘was a member of that famous Common Council, and it er ranger that we are indebted to the experience he then obtained in public matters for much of the heillene and efficiency he displays in the present form man—an honest, well-meaning, conscientious gen- tleman of the old echool—an ardent lover of money, of which he has an abundance—a faithfal public ser- vant, and as fearful of spending the public money as he is of hisown. He desires all public celebrations to be conducted on the cheap and nasty principle, and hardly comprehends the idea of liberality, hos- | pital , patriotism or generosity in public ra. le ve ed reform, fea yet, what has he projected or per fected asa member of the reform Board of Alder- , he moved for a special committee to tak jiate measures to rebuild it, and was placed at the head of such a committee, upon the claim that he was a mechanic, and that the Standing Committee on Repairs and Sup- pie aside from himeelf, were not competent the undertaking. He has had the sole charge of that important matter, ever since the day after ‘the fire, and the people may judge of his energy in blic business, when they are assured that not the Brat gressive step has yet been taken towards rebuilding vy public ang Roaecigie d Foca plans are not even agreed upon, wi e black- ened ruins of the old Almshouse still stand, a dis- graceful monument of the inefficiency and want of energy on the part of the reform Common Council, and while the city treasury is payin tens of thou- sands of dollars for rents, wh saved, if proper measures had been taken in Jana- for the prompt and rapid re-erection of the Duldings burned. The tardy action of Mr. Reformer Tucker, in this matter alone, will cost the city trea- wury fifty times more than all he will ever save by screwing down Bppro riations for Beers celebra- tions a few hund: dallas, and turning up his nose at liberal festivals, upon such occasions as the birth- day of Washington and the Fourth of July. Ten times more is lost to the city daily, by his neglest of this matter, than he will ever save by refusing to employ a cai ge when engaged in pal lic business, Alderman Tucker is Wier good man, but we are free to say he is entirely unfitted for the trarsaction of public business, which he is disposed to conduct on the “penny wise and ind foolish” system. It will thus be perceived that he has pro- Jected no wonderful measures of city reform as yet. Next we come to the yigilant ‘‘gentleman from the Ninth,”—a “reformer” of the first water—a tem- perance man of the strictest sect—one who boasts of his ability to see through mill-stones, and to discover foxes’ tails all arowfid the seats of the democratic members and under the coat tails of some of the whigs. What great projects of ‘‘re- ferm” have signalized his six month’s labor? It is said he is going to reform all the drunkards in the Ninth ward by putting them on short fodder; but that he has projected, or introduced to the Common il, any measure for the relief or protection of the tax-payers of the city, we presume he will hot himeelf pretend. As a member of the Committee on Salaries and Offices, he recommended the crea- tion of a sinecure situation called assistant mes-en- ger, with a ae of $500 a year, an office about as mecersary as a wheel to a coach. That is the amount of all his achievements in the way of “reform.” Now we come to the modest and unpretending reformer of the Tenth, Alderman Trowbridge. He ia, undoubtedly, a man without guile; but what has he done for “reform?” to know. As Chairman of the Committee on Mar- kets, he made a report upon a quarrel between the ys ge naan and @ butcher named Devoe, which _ ded to the publication of a iphiet, which led the Alderman of the Nineteenth ward to introduce a it for market reform, which would be vastly portant for the city if the “reform” majority ‘would embrace the idea and carry it out. But we fear the whig humbug “reformers” will never suffer | real x “reform” to be consummated, if introduced by democrat ite Next in order is Mr. Whig-Reformer Boardman, ef the Eleventh ward. What has he done towards pening Ana enormous abuses in our city govern- ment, which were so loudly prated about last No- vember? As chairman of the Committee on Wharves, Piers and Slips, he has introduced and carried through the Board of Aldermen a reportand resolution, to permit the owners of property between Thirteenth and Fourtecnth streets, to erect a lo pier on private Property, which, if consummate = 1 Aiibe @ public pier , from ever being built at foot of Fourteonth street. Mr. man is a decided whig politician, but was supported by the “reformers,” and is therefore committed to ‘‘re- form” measvres when any shall be introduced. He is one of the faireat and most honorable members of the Board, and aes & better idea of city affairs than any one occupy aldermanic chairs, gence and good —of political shrewdness, and endorses none of the Barrow contracted ideas that emanate from Messrs. Blunt, Mott, Lord and Chauncey. And Yend that even he has introduced no measures of practical reform as yet. Mr. Whig: Reformer Wakeman, of the Twelfth ward, now comes up. His “reform” efforts have been confined to procuring the repeal of the ordi- nance regulating the appointment of inspectors of weights and measures, so as to turn out of place the present democratic incumbents and give the , Sppointment of their successors to the Common uncil, contrary to the charter, which denies that es the privilege of performing any executive dn- He isa man of intelli. upon the Common Council; but this political coup e’etat ia not yet cousarmnated. of neihing moved by Aldermin Wakeman, as yet, Sor the relief of the outraged tax-payers—nothing #9 looks towards @ reduction of xpeused of joard.

He doubtless means wel! enough, but he lacks knowledge and experience, and the people— the whigs and reformers—of the Fifteenth ward missed a big figure, and sacrificed the best in- | terests of the city, when they threw overboard Isaac O. Barker and picked up William Chauncey. Alderman Christy, of the Sixteenth ward, is the next “reformer”: in order. What has he done for the relief of the tax payers? Where are his “ re- form” marks during the six months he has been oc- cupying a big arm-chair in the City Hall? Not a so- litary g has he introduced towards retrench- ment—not a single movement has he made towards securing those great blessings the people were led to Fe ray from the advent of “reform” power in the City Councils. He, too, is an honest, mo- dest, conscientious gentleman—a man of grea’ purity of character, but one not calculated to make apy energetic movements towards meeting the refor- matory expectations of the Peter Cooper Commit- tee. He is located between Messrs. Chauncey and Lord, and the three invariably vote one way. Mr. President Ely is next inorder. Although he was opposed by the “ Refurm Association” before the people, his whig friends successfully entrap- d the xeform Aldermen elect into electing im President of the Board. As a presiding officer, he is about as impartial as we could rea- sonably expect from a devoted whig partizan looking for the ater honors of the politi- cal organization to which he belongs. He iy not very square-toed in the expression of his opinion upon any of the important matters before the Board, and cannot be safely counted either for or | against any measare, until after the vote is de- ed. We look in vain for the record of any re- | form measures introduced by him. Alderman Daniel D. Lord, of the Eighteenth ward, assumes the lead of the “reform” squad when the gentleman of the Twenty-first gets off the truck, and was quite frequent until the “re- form” committee delegated Isaac H. Bailey and Aaron Vanderpool to be in constant attendance to keep him straight. Mr. Lord is quite a flaent’mem- ber of the “legal profession,” a man of amiable disposition, and a well bred gentleman. He wos counted ‘‘a big ‘un’ in the “reform” camp, and in cleansing the Augean stables in the City Hall, Pe- ter Cooper and his tribe expected him to perform the labor of a Hercules. We have waited patient! for his “reform” demonstrations for the full perioa of six months, but as yet we have neither seen nor heard of anything from Mr. Lord which encourages us to hope that any good will have been achieved through him, for the city or any one else, after he shall have served out his full term of two years. Like the gentleman from the Ninth, he sees a great many foxes’ tails, and is on the constant look out for tra} As chairman of the Committee on Ordinances, he has been under in- structions since January to report an ordinance to [hoes cattle driving in the streets, but thus far he neglected to do so; and, as a member of the Hemet Committee to revise the ordinances and lapt them to the amended charter, he has wholly neglected his duty in that respect. Mr. Lord, how- ever, is a most worthy man, but if the people never get the “reform” they clamored for last fal! until it comes to them tl th his exertions, they will wait a long time for it. Mr. Lord is proverbial for his ition to procrastinate every subject, and to avoid a direct vote upon every important question | before the Board. Lawyer-like, he bas fought vio- lently against having any vote taken on the most important matters under consideration, as the Russ id rguuled Prec tg the Reynold’s offal con- tract, the ‘tions for the-ofilcers of the Croton Board, the Gansevoort property question, &c., &c. Next in order comes Alderman Cummings H. Tucker, a clean whi¢, who was admitted to the ard, after its organization, to the exclusion of William te who, to our mind, appears to have been fairly entitled to the seat. Mr. Tucker is a “ prett juace man,” and meaas to do about what is right. He is a devoted whig partizan, and generally acts in concert with his fall blooded whig allies, Boardman, Ely, Wakeman and Drake. le has not projected dn. reformatory measures that we have ever beard of, and probably does not contemplate figuring very ex- tensively as a “reformer.” Ho was chairman of | the committee of arrangements to celebrate Wash- | Ington’s birth day, upon which occasion he proved eseentially ‘‘ human,” and favored a liberal expen- diture; but Mr. Comptroller Flagg served him and his colleagues a mean trick, in auditing the bills of expenditare, for which that functionary has yet to answer, if there is energy enough in the Common Council to maintain their own rights aud protect themeelves from the usurpation of the Finance De- partment. | We now come to the consideration of the labors of Reformer Mott, of the Twenty-first ward —not snappropeiaely, styled the Ajax of “reform.” Mr. Mottis a zealous disciple of the Peter Cooper Committee, and the only man in the Board, of that school, who has really attempted to do anything to- wards Ean Jaad great and glorious reforma- tions promised tothe people, in “ reform” election- eering documents. Mr. Mott, immediately upon tho organization of the Common Council, perceived the fo of the amended charter, and compre. hended the impossibility of obtaining any “reform” from its practical operation. Like a sensibie man, he forthwith introduced a resolution to ay pI to the Legislature of the State for the immed ate and unconditional repeal of that ridivalous abortion of his ‘‘reform” brethren. This was a real “reform” measure, but it was voted down, and Brother Mott was overhauled by Mr. Isaac H. Bailey, severely lectured, and duly instructed never to make any ‘important move without first consulting his com- mittee. Mr. Mott also introduced the ordinance to revent cattle driving in the streets, which Reformer Lord has ne; jlectad toxeport. Various other pro- jects of “‘ reform” have been introduced by “ Ajax,’”” it his fellow‘ reformers” have refused to back him up; and, finding it a hopeless task to secure any co-operation for a really good measnre, Alder- man Mott hes apparently ‘gin out,” and now con- fines himeelf to bunting mares’ nests, ia company ‘ with Alderman Blunt, among the contractors upon our public works. He is particularly down on the contractors, aud, as chairman of the Committee on Assensments, he rejoices exceedingly in receiving | remonstrances, such as will afford him an excase | to report against the confirmation of assessment liste. If the Magic A cca upon the line of an improvement are satis! and refuse to remonstrate against the work, he will spare no efforts to find some pretext upori which to found an adverse re- port. He is “ anti-asseesment” all over, and Bluut, with his ivory rule, pick-axe and spade, is a very appropriate colleague. Mr. Mott has reported against five or six assesament lists, but in all cases, ex- cept one—that for pavin, Thirty-eighth street—his reports have been overruled and repudiated by tie Board. In reviewing the whole course of Alderman Mott since he has been connected with the city government, we are unable to perceive anything ‘a vantageous to the city that resul! from hig active, persevering and well-intentioned exertions. He, too, has done nothing for “reform;” and the conclusion is irresistibly forced upon us that the prerent “Reform Common Council’ is the most weak, inefficient and unproductive legislative body that ever congregated in the City Hall. It has ac- complished nothing—it has attempted nothing—i can do peaiiag tos the advantage of the peop! and all the reforms promised by the “reformers” have turned out-to be the baldest kind of humbag and the most pretentious gammon. Tho peopie have been swindled, and the demagogues who rode into power upon the absurd promises of the “ Re- form Committee,” never had any idea of reducing the expenses ‘of the city government, or of abating the present high rates of taxation.

Thereupon, the respond- ents sent lighters for the tobacco, and brought it up to the city. The libellant then brought this suit for the freight, and the respondents tendered and paid into court the amount of freight, less the expense fo lighterage, claiming to deduct that from the fall ight. Held by the Court, that the contract of the libelant was to deliver the tobacco at the to- bacco inspection wharf, and that upon the erformance of that contract on his part, ie payment of freight depends, unless there bas been a waiver of performance by the owner of the goods, or some act on his part which prevents performance. That the libellant was not prevented from performing his contract by the ne- cessity of discharging the Bie at quarantine. The he was permitted to tranship it into lighters to bring it to the city, and could have done so. That a usage or custom that tobacco was not detained, an is consistent with the terms of a contract, and is not contrary to such terma, may, in order to ascertain what was the meaning of the parties to a contract, be proved. The object of ) aes the custom is, that it may be known what the meaning of the ties was, wh-n they adopted the use of parti terms employed by them when they entered into the contract. The object is to ascertain what the parties meant. Therefore, a custom or usage con- sistent with the terms of the contract, and not con- trary to such terms, may be proved. Thus, in a mercantile contract, where certain mercantile tech- nical terms are used, it may be shown what, by usage, is meant by such mercantile techgical terms. If there has been an, was “Tobacco Inspection wharf,” it might have been determined by proof of usage. But when the terms of tne contract are express, precise, and unconditional—when no technical mercaiitile terms are used in it—when there is no uncertain- ty in regard to it—cvidence cannot be introduced to vary its apparent import and to show that, by ware and custom, under certain circumstances, the contract need not be kept and performed according to ite terms. Usage cannot be set up to vary the terms of an express contract. A ema a4 proved to give a construction to a contract, but is } not allows to alter what the parties have exprese- ly and clearly agreed upon. A may be proved to explain and control a gener: alter that which has been proved to ascertain what the parties to a contract mean by the use ef certain terms, but not to alter what Saunas agreed upon. That the usagewat- be proved by the libellant, vaeeeh ie ler tempted him to deliver these goods at Quarantine these circumstances, in spite of the clause in the bill of lading, is not cont nt with the contract, but contrary to it, and proof of it cannot be admit- ted. That the proof offered by the libellant is in- sufficient to establish such a , even if it conld be admitted. That the receipt of the tobacco by the ees atter the notice given them by the li- bellant, was no waiver by them of their right to de- mand a delivery at Tobacco Warehouse whart.

Butprivateering has been denounced by | weak and narrow-sighted individuals as degrading to @ people, and looked upon in the saine light ‘as rob- | bery and piracy. This is rather severe on our patriot- ic citizens. To strip things of their gilded pomp and | glory of position, a national vessel, in time of war, is but in truth what a pirate is in time of peace ; she takes life, burns and destroys, and captures on the high seas, Besides, national ships of war prey on commerce and capture merchantmen with the same aceon and avidity as pirate ships-of-war, for the sake of the distribution of the prize money among the crew. So, too, what would be murder by a vo- lunteer in time of peace, against a foreign citizen, becomes a soldier's duty in time of war. Why not then denounce our gallant volunteers as robbers and murderers on the same principle that privateers are objected to? Our volunteer merchant marine has, perhaps, been more relied on in cases of war with commer- cial nations, then our volunteer militia force. This, England is well aware of. The distinguished ser- Vices rendered our country by the private armed brig General Armstrong, during the war of 1812~ 14, rixes up with hideous terror in the minds of the English whenever they reflect on this subject. Tho General Armstrong, commanded by Capt. Saml. C. Reid, a then young and gallant officer of our mer- chant service, and previously a midshipman in our navy, sailed out of your port with a small force of seven guns and ninety men. In September, 1814, she anchored in the neutral port of Fayal, belong- ing to the Braganza dynasty of Portugal. Soon after, a large British fleet, (that had been ordered to join Admiral Cochrane at Jamaica, ag a part of the expedition against New Orleans), anchored in the same ‘bor. The British force attacked the privateer, in violation of the Jaws of neutrality, and after a most desperate strug- gle, in which the British fleet was entirely discom- ited and crippled by a loss of between two and three hundred of their best men and officers, the Americans abandoned their vessel, and the British destroyed her. This battle is unprecedented in naval history, the Americans having lost but two killed and seven wounded. The British were three days in burying their dead, and two sloops-of-war were sent to England with the wounded. This battle trustrated the grand design of England to capture Lovisiana, by delaying and preventing the concentration of their forces, until General Jackson could arrive with his troops, and it was mainly instrumental in saving Louisiana from the hands of the enemy. England's pride has never yet recovered from this blow. This case is sufficient to silence all objections on our part against privateer- ing, whatever may be the views of foreign nations. ‘he attack on the privateer General Armstrong, by the British, while enjoying the protection of the nevtrality of Portugal, was an act, under the laws of nations, of plunder and piracy, which she has never been made to atone for, notwithstanding the signal service rendered. And while our government has been loitering from its duty in carrying out a principle, and vacillating in an act of justice, the gallant Ingraham has maintained tue principle that ‘no power on earth shall touch anything American in a neutral port.” This principle is sustained by the Committee on Foreign ‘tions of the United States Senate, as well as a tacit expression of opin- jon in favor of privateers, in a late report made in the case of the brig General Armstrong, which ia e take the following extract from the report made by that able statesman, the Hon. John Siidell, of Louisiana, and now before Congress for adjudication. oxe of the soundest jurisconsults of the country:— Under all the Peculiar circumstances of the case, th ccmmittee are of opinion that the claimants are justly entitled to relief on strict legal principles, and oven were their convictions on the subject less decided than they are, they would find in the heroic conduct of Captain Reid and his gallent crew, strong inducements to give them the benefit of their doubta. There are two points of general interest involved in this matter, which should not be without *heir influence on the action of the Senate. The effect to be produced on our own citizens by according indemnity is stimula ting them to emulate the noble example of Captain Reid; for there can be no doubt that if he had suffered himself to be captured without resistance, full pecuniary salis- faction Would long since have been accorded by Portugal to the cloimants. Shall we refuse it because he has added to our navai history one of its most brilliant pages? Again, if we act upon the avowed principle that our citi- zens are always to be compensated for any injuries they may suffer from the violation by belligerents of the law of nations, other countries will be more earnest in main- taining the inviolability-of their territory. It is nonsense to attempt to talk down privateer- ing, for we have no navy of any size, and never had, to go to war with, and our only resource is on our merchant marine, If the eclipse of the sun has not affected my reckoning, you will see lots of American privateers, duly commissioned, vithin three months.

The Congressional Cemetery is situated east of the Capitol, and was formerly known as tue Washington Parish Burial Ground. It comprised some time back an area of ten acres, but is now considerably en- larged, the original burial ground being rather thickly occupied with vaults and tombs. The ce- metery is laid out in avenues and walks, and as the visiter proceeds down the chief avenue he sees on either side the family vaults of our principal citizens. But what most arrests the attention, are the four rows of monuments erected by Congress, in memory of those Senators and Representatives who have at | various times died in this city. These are, generally, monuments to departed Congressmen” rather than for here are scribed the names of Henry Clay, Calhoun, John er3, amounting to over a hundred statesmen, whose names are perpe- tuated in the record of history. Besides these there are mahy similar monuments of an earlier date, in another part of the cemetery. It is to be noticed that these Congressional monuments are all exactly alike in size, form, architecture and dimensions, and pars containing their remains, Q. Adams, Robert Rantoul and o' apart from the names inscribed on them, contain nothing of particular interest. They are all built of white free stone, and in many instances the names are becoming nearly illegible. We would propose, asan improvement, that the lettering upon them should be painted black, that they may be the more easily deciphered. Interspersed among them there are, however, many handsome monuments, erected to the memory of various meritorious officers of the United States service. n, while holding, his ot nephew of the celebrated Charles James Fox, the well known British orator and statesman. ment commemorates, in another part no tance off, the victims of the ill fated ex, and commandin; land shore, is of Lieut.

He, Captain Blair, had sailed under his orders in the Black Sea, during the late war with the Turks, and it was at that time that the battle of Navarino was fought; and Admiral Lazenoff’s conduct in that en- gagement, and throughout the war, was such as to gain him the thanks, not only of his own Govern- ment, but of our Government also. [twas rather a singular coincidence that during the progress of the war, Admiral Lazenoff and Sir Edmund Lyons, one of our admirals now opposed to him in the Black Sea, lived together for six weeks in the same tent.

One of his neighbors, Mr, Eaves, had been in the habit of endorsing the doctor’s notes in bank, and was called upon some time since to back a note for #300, payable at Rasselyille.
