He hoped the appropria- tion weuld be withdrawn. Akierman Tvcksx sat & was time for this Board to cease making itself rwticulous by such resolutions. The Commissioners were doing the best they could, and not for —_— purpeses. They cos not employ more than or 1,500 men. The Alderman of the Sixteenth ward mer) had charged that none of his party had been appointed. He (Alderman Tucker) doubted, from the re- turn of votes in that Aldermanic district, whether the gentleman had avy party lett. (Laughter.) He was as- ‘tonished to hear gentlemen, after having used these poor Jaborers to swell the vote for their party, urge the with- drawal of the issue of bonds. Alderman Owgys contensed that the appointments were snot democratic; he had puf but seven men on the work, ‘and many ef the democratic Aldermen had had ten ap- ointments. He was actuated by higher considerations han those gentlemen who sought to throw the laborers of employment. Seine Go t defended the action of the Central Park Commiscioners: be did not knew that any members of the Board, except the democrats, had got men employed. He moved, as the best method of disposing of the subject, that i be referred to the Finance Committee. Alderman McSrxpox opposed the reference to the Finance Committee, as they bad enough to do already. He preposed that i be referred to the Committee on Lands and Places, and that it would be well investiga- When men came to him for his interest to get them work in the Central Park he never ask them what their ities were, but he asserted that the Central Park labor- re were used for political purposes, and were marched up in a body in his ward to vote for the republican candi- gates. He knew that one of the Commissioners (Mr. Hogg) had watched these men and prepared them for the elec tion. He condemned such conduct, and declared that he ‘would vote against all appropriations for these Commis- sioners whenever they came up; they were bumbugging the laborers, many of whom from the work they were put on, breaking stone by the yard, could not earn 50 centé aday.’ He had felt outraged by their conduct, and he would oppose them. Alderman Dxakk knew that the question of politics was taken into consideration by the Commissioners in their Sintments; a Roel poo = — a a7 Bryan MeCabij} (Souncilman), and he was asked how he was go- mopespel dw? thousandgnen, at least, conld be joe ployed there all the winter, but politics interfered and none would be employed buf those who suited the Com- missioners’ political views. ~Alderyaan STEERS alan «mo!-% acaingt the Commissioners, &nd tok! some circumstances connected with his efforts to get men employed on the works.

The report of the Committee on Fire Departmer& con curring with the Councilmen to pay W. F.

Adjourned to Wednesday at 5 o'clock BOARD OF COUNCILMEN. ‘THE TAX LEVY FoR 1858, ‘The Board commenced its December session last ove ning, the President, J. N. Phillips, Beq., presiding. The mtondance of members was very large and the lobby ‘was well filled. After the minuter of the preceding meet- ng were read and approved, a number of routine papers, remitting taxes and relating to other uninteresting matters, passed to a third reading The Comptroller was directed to draw his warrant for $1,000 in favor of Mary Stinson, widow of the late Police- man Stinson, Mr. Boots moved that inasmuch as there were a great wumber of bills in the Committee of the Whole, that the; be ordered to a third reading forthwith, supposing that all the members would heartily consent to do £0. A number of the members were oppoeed to such @ wholesale proceeding, Mr. Wanwen warmly contending ‘What each paper should have a distinct bearing and stand Or fall upon its own merits. Mr. Boore subsequently withdrew his motion. A report of the Committee on Roads, directing the New ‘York and Harlem Railroad Company to build protection walle on Fourth avenue, was adopted Mr. Ortansox presented a petition from the Board of | Governors of the Women's Horpital, applying for a site for the above hospital near Lexington avenue, which was | Feferred to a special committee of three. | Other petitions devoid of public interest were reforred @ Weir appropriate committees, and resolutions to defray the expenses of fitting up election polle were laid over.

Mayor Powxu—Get at the reselutions without the concluding clause {in italics). Mr. Pet thought that the clause was hardly appro- priate. Gen. Nvx said he had drawn it as well as he know how. Mayor PowE1i. moved to strike out the last clause. It was hardly fair to to call upon the Board to endorse the law itself. Gen. took the question on the motion to strike out, which wa lost—Mayor Wood, Mr. Perit and Mayor Powell voting in the affirmative, and Messrs. Nye, Stranahan, Bowen and Cholwell in the negative. Mr. Pen said that be did not think the Board was called 'upon to express any opinion as to the law. Gen. Ny&#—The question will now be upon the motion to adopt the resolution as a whole, Mayor Woop—I would like to have the resolutions read; Ihave just come in. Mr. Peni, on the reading of the resolution, said he un- derstood that the last clause had been stricken out; but being assured that the motion to strike out was lost, moved to insert the words, ‘and for their efficient ser- vices,”” in order to make the commendation of the force more clear. The compliment was not strong enough. Mayor Woop wanted the question taken on each resolu- tion separately. Genera] Ny& said that was for the Board to determine. Mr. Psrit said be was sorry that the clause was ro- tained, because he did not think it was called for. The object was unanimity, if possible, in passing a compliment to these men, Retaining this clause was making the vote different from what it would be without it The inference in the minds of all men would be that the _ of the po- lice force was a very good one, inasmuch as they were able to cn in the aid of other cities. This inference was fe. Major Powx.1 said he did not mean to endorse the law, he had stood in opposition to it all the time, and he stood sonow. He would be glad to vote for the resolutions without that clau se, but otherwise should have to vote against them. Mr. Pexrt moved a reconsideration of the last vote; the inference was inevitable, but there was no necessity for stating it Gen. Nyk suggested that as Mr. Perit had voted in the negative, it would be hardly fair for him to move arecon- sideration. Mr. Cnotwr1 said he would move a reconsideration. The question on the reconsideration was then taken and parked—Mesers. Wood, Perit, Powell and Cholwell voting tn the affirmative. Gen. Nye then said that he would submit the resolutions for Mr, Pert vo suit himself, and he would withdraw the entire resolution. - Mr. PeRT then moved to strike out all of the clause re- ig to the ‘beautiful illustrations’’ of the law, and mn- sert “and for their efficient services. Mayor Woop supposed it was understood that the ques- tion should be taken on each resolution sepatately. Gen. Ny said the question would be upon the passage of the resolutions, as amended. Mayor Woop asked what had been done with his sug- gestion to take the vote on each resolution separately Fep; Arx—There ix nothing dene, | The question will be tunon faking ti vows $2 eresoutionge one bi retura- ‘Mr. Bowxx—There are three & ing thanks to the patrolmen fof Their services at the past election, the second to the special paffdimed, and the third to the patrolmen of the city of Brooklyn. Nye then put by de pane on the Srs* résolution. yor Woop—On tl question I desire to say that if it is intended to include every mem- ver of the department, I have several instances in which, instead of paying them a compliment these men should be punished. It is not pro to ask me to vote thanks to every member to the If the resolution is modified, 1 shall be willing to vote for it—I understand that—I ask for information; I understand that it is intended to compliment, and thank every member of the police force, whatever may have been his couduct oe the day of election for faithful services, Mr. PxkiT—I consider itas a general order an army. An individual may bave shown cowardice, and an order commend the force at large. Mayor Woor—The thanks are for the discharge of their several duties—~individual—how ean we, after the pro. duction of charges of improper conduct, thatk the whole. Mr. Srraxanan—It etrikes me that the Mayor's object can be accomplished by putting off the question until the next meeting. We can have the exceptions inserted, ax by that time the Mayor can bring his charges against individuals: that is the idea, Mayor Woop—That is the idea. I wish to thank those who did their duty Mr. Pxxt—I think there should be no delay. cial patrolmen should have our thanks: General Nye—The question will be on the first resolu- tion. Mayor Woon—If the question is taken upon it as it is, I shail vote against it ‘The question was then taken on the first resolution, which was adopted—Mayor Wood voting in the negati Gencral Nye—The question will now be on the second, as to the special force. Mayor Woon—I shall go further, and not only say that there were cases where these men did not perform their duty, but I think Tehall be prepared to show that they committed perjury in some casee—that they electioncered, think T *hall be prepaaed to show before many days that this was also the care. Therefore, I shall be, for the reason, compelled to vote against this resolution, % takes in ali of them. Mr. Cuotwr11—The resolution, I take it, does not take in all of them. Mayor Woon—It speaks of them \ severally.” Mr. Chonwet—I he ground that Mr. Perit takes, that it is sitnilar to a general order to an army. The question was then taken on the second resolution, which was passed—Mayor Wood alone voting in the nega tive. The question was then taken on the resolutigh thanking the Brooklyn force, which was adopted unani mously, The spe MR. PERIT MAKES AN EXPLANATION. Mr. Prnrr—Allow me to cecupy your time for one mo. ment Ob matter bot immediately connected with the business of the Board, but important im its bearing on the subject of truth and consistency. In the discussion which took place at the last meeting of the Board, when Mayor Wood intimated that I was under some commitment to him to vote the old poitee force, I made distinct denial. 1 think 1 repeated it. But by the reports which have gone before the public, in the papers, a doubt might arise whether that denial was made. On that account I deem it im portunt to say distinctly now that I have made no pledge or commitment to Mayor Wood, or to any human being with reference t» my conduct in this Board. To show how little probability there was of any such thing, I never so. liclted or expected or desired the appointment, and I finally accepted it most reluctantly and at the great sacri fice of personal convenience the Mayor called upon me at my house, on the evening of my appointment, he first apologized to me for having nominated me, on ae count of th nvenience to myself. He wont on to an hounce my appointment, and urged its aeceptance upon me first from considerations of a general character—the eXpowed state of the city, and the iuadequate police force In the conversation which followed I expressed to bim, as Thave to a great variety of persons, that I felt an interest in the old police, and‘ derired that the worth: en of them should be reinstated in their places. have been my opinions ever since they were dismimed: they are my epinions now; and my first act on entering this Board was to ascertain what hindrances there wore to their reinstatement. I found that they had been dismissed not, ae T supposed, by @ common revolution of the Board, but by a judicial proceeding and regular sentence, which, as | Understand it, cannot be reversed except by a de cision of the court or by act of the Legielature. I am ready w reinstate them to-morrow if these disabilities can be overcome, selecting the best of that force, for the obvious ‘reason that they are weil disci plined and of excellent character. This is the whole question ; any commitment I have never made. I state it publicly, because I felt grived that any of my friends should suppose that | bad made a commitment foolwhl: about an office that I never desired or solicited. 1 intend. ed to come into this Board indepemdent of any commit ment whatever. r the reinstatement of MATOR WOOD SPRAKS. Mayor Woon—I do rot think that the Commissioner and myself differ at all upon thie question. 1 stated to this Board that I had never conversed with Mr. Perit until af. ter he wae nominated by me and made a member of thie Board. That ie so. Of the interview, he has stated, and to the best of my recollection correctly. 1 think that at that interview with Mr. Perit, on the evening of the day he was nominated, he did express pretty much the same opinions which be has now. 1 will say, however, that these opinions were not new to me; being a neighbor of Mr. Perit’s, and knowing the high estimation in whic he had held the old pofice. I felt that no citizen of New York regreited more than he did—I judged merely from my general conversation with himself and others—the In h ignored the existence of that po. 1 the opinion; 1 knew it from general did not know ‘it with reference to his Hoard asa member, but I knew it from n with reference to the old force ing he did exprese as he said to. 1 hot surpris that he held these opinions, ae I sald, but for the conviction that these were y should never have presented his er. Ido not know with reference to all the newspaper reports. 1 read the report of the Herary at or and it concurred with my recollection. I supposed, sir, when Mr. Perit came here that justice would be done to the old police force. 1 can only again repeat my disappointment and chagrin that circummtances have appeared to thwart that object Mr. Perrt—I wish the Mayor wonld tell us how he can reinstate the old police, ae the law stands. Mayor Woon—By the decision of Davies it is our duty to 40 80, Ido net see how we can avoid #, | think the dit his expreneieme general: day.

It is improper to pre Fent a case upon which the great mass of these men are not fairly represented. If under the promise of appoint- ment a few men have been induced to consent to a certain state of facts, which are not facts, the case is not a fair one.

Mayor Woop—I did not auj that the Board would do 80; but I supposed that indi {I members might assume to do things without the authority of the Board.

Mr. Bowss stated that he had refused to pay two door- men who ha, been appointed in the Sixth ward by (he General &uperintendent under the supposition dist he had authority to appomt them under the law. He thought their appointment illegal, but that the men bad done duty, "ara should be paid. After some discussion the subject was laid over. Acommunication from Deputy Superintendent Folk, of Brooklyn, was received, asking the appointment of a sur geon for that city. It was laid on the table. A communication was received from General Superin tendent Talmadge asking further instructions as to his duty with reference to the Fourth Avenue Railroad ordinance, relating to the use of steam, and transmitting a letter from he counsel to the company on the subject. The document was laid on the table until the next meeting, upon the mo jon of Mayor Wood. Mayor Woop presented a number of petitions for appointment, stating that he did not know why they were sent to him. He also presented additional papers in the case of officer Tilden, which, upon mot were referred to appropriate committees. The Mayor then left, stating tbat urgent business called him away Mr. Bowe presented sundry bills, which were referred to the Committee on Finance. Gencral Ny stated that it was desirable to committee to make the necessary repairs an to the building formerly eccupied by the Board in Whi street, for the use of witnesses in crimiual cases Mr. Bowen suggested that the committer be called upon to make an estimate, They had enough of giving committees power in the matter of the glass ballot bexes, and all expenses should first be estimated The motion to make the Committee on Station Houses sub, mit an estimate of the expense was passed unanimously.

He thought that where such cases were entirely plain the committee ought to report them at once. General Nye stated that the committee had that matter in char Mr. Cyotwru. called attention to the case of officer Webb, of the Eighth precinct, which came under this head, which was referred to the je committee.

It was rumored that Santana had been flicvously wounded.

The proprietor, Michael Barry, became @uraged at tne conduct of the young men and brought out @ club from behind the bar, as if with the intention, of clearing the fellows out of the place. One of the party, named O'Keefe, approached Barry and en- deavored to pacify him, when the latter pushed him away und went intoaback room.

SUPREME COURT—GENERAL TERM. . Before the five Judges. Duc. 7.—Jonathan Lemmon, plaintiff in error, ws. The People at the Relation of Louis Napoleon, defendant in error.—The Court this morning rendered a decision in this case, affirming the decision of the late Judge Paine, The following is an epitome of their conclusions, Judge Roosevelt disents:— The act of the Legislature of this State passed and re-enacted in parte in 1890 (1 R. 8. 656), deciaring that ‘no person held as a slave shall be importa introduced or brought into this State may Prete” cg ‘whatsoever, &X- fen tien a my ak ree," 9m aie . ‘The slaves in Fa tre oT ugh Foun Virgin no ths Sa, and onlv *_,. =#fe eOfhe short time; and although ve i ike raed ut here with a view to convey thett! State to in that act they were (after the wero repealed by a wu tact) within the prohibi- tone of that. act ond are, Tree, if thoes ace be. constita. tional. The addiiion made to the act in the Revised Sta- tutes of 1830 seems to have been intended to ws a doubt, (see seo, 1, jp, 859); it is: a biel rougit wits this Stale smother white and 4 it within | , Ww or colored is free; every person who shall hereafter be. ‘born in this State shall be free, and every person brought into this State as a slave, except as authorized by this title, shall be free. One of the exce mentioned in that title allowed a person not an inhabitant of this State, travelling to or from, or 1g through this State, to bring his slave here and take him away again, provided that if the slave continued here more than nine months he should be free. These exceptions are repealed by the act of 1841. Comity does not require any State to extend any r privileges to the citizens of another State than it grants to its own. As this State docs not allow its own citizens to bring a slave here, even in transitu, and to hold him as a slave for any portion of time, it cannot be expected to allow the citizens of another State to do +0, Subdivision of section 2, article 4, of the constitution of the United States, makes this measure of comity a right, but with the Imitation above stated; it gives to the itizens of a sister State only the same privileges and mmunities in our State which our laws give to our citizens; it declares that ‘the citizens of cach State shall be entitled toall the privileges and immunities of citizens in the seve: ralStates.”” Subdivision 3 of that section is confined to the case of a person held to service or labor eacapiug from one State into another; it does not extend to person yolantarily brought by his master into another State for any period of time; it cannot, by any rule of construc- tion, be extended to such acase. It is, “(No person held to service or laber in one State under the laws thereof, mcamen ie another, shall, in consequence of any law or regul therein, be discharged from such service or la- bor,” &. The clahse of the constitution giving to Congress power “to regulate commerce with foreign nations, and among the several States and with the Indian tribes,” confers no power on Congress to declare the status which any person shall sustain while in any State of the Union. This power belonged originally to each State by virtue of its sovereign and independent character, and has vever been surrendered. It not been conferred on Congress or forbidden to the States, (unless in some pro- visions in favor of personal rights,) and is, therefore, re- tained by each State, and may be exercised as well in rela- tion to persons in transitu as in relation to those remaining in the . The power to regulate commerce may be exercised over persons, a8 passengers, only while on the ocean and until they come under State jurisdiction. It ceases when the voyage ends, and then'the State laws control. This power to ropes commerce, it has been expressly declared by fe Supreme Court of the United States, did not prevent the State of Mississippi from pri hibiting the imy ion of #layee into that for Lad ay Lad Of eei8, The same court has hei wheh im) can (notwithstanding any State law) bée sold by the importer in the original packages. It follows that the power to regulate commerce confers on the United States some check on the State legislation as to goods or Merchandise after it is brought into the State, but none as to persons after they arrive within such State. If this could be rr ‘ded in the case of the slaveholding States a moe tion, 1t may also be so r as to the free les; they consider (: @ legislation of this State for many years has shown) fhat the holding of slaves in this State for any purpose is injurious to our condition and to the Evga as it is opposed to the sentiment of the le of this State.
