Board of Supervisors. SRECTION @r A REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT—RE-ELEO- (TMON OF “THE CLERK—THE PRESIDRNT'S ADDRESS. “Baie Board wet last evening for reorganization for the wew year. @x motion of Supervisor Tween, Flijab F. Pardy was ‘ealied to the chair for the purpose of the organization of He Board. ‘he Board then proceeded to ballot for President, and Weears Tweed and Blunt were appointed as tellers. Supervisor Twexp pominated Mr. Stewart, There being ‘me other nomination, the ballot reeulted as follows:— well Mr, Stewart was then declared duly @lected, and Messrs. Blunt and Koche were appointed a commiune to conduct the newly elected President to the chair, ‘The PRESIDENT, OM taking the chairf addressed the mem- Ders as followe:— ‘GxeTLRMEN—In accepting the position of your presiding stheer—to which I have been elected by your partiality and eenfitence—tI desire to extend to you my sincere thanks, not only for the honor you bave thus conferred on me, but fer the unanimity with which you have been pleased fe manifeet your choice. Iam aware that I take upon my- welf highly responsible and most delicate duties; and I might well hesitate before entering on their diecharge did not fee! assured that with a firm determination on my to perform thote dutics with my best judgment and strictest impartiality, | could at ail times rely on re- eetving your counsel, a8 well as obtain your aid ia the preservation of order and the Aispateh of the public bast. mess commilied to our har The powers ‘od @utics of Supervisors in “the counties of the State arc, under our cenatiation and statutes, ef highly responsible mature; but the vast intereats wed in the business appertaining to the Board of wervisors for the city and county of New York increase greauy that responsibility with us. Al the duties ‘wih which we are empowered I might enumerate the raising by tax annually We enormous sum necessary not ‘enly for county purposes, but for the suport of the city gpvernment; the fixing, raising and reducing the salaries judges of the several courts, and of mostof the << e county officers; the fixing of the number of the Police force; the appointment of a number of public efticers; the authorizing and directing ail expenses to be fmeurred for repairs to and for furnishing the several eeurts and county offices, and for supplying the same wih stationery, fuel and other necessary articles; the general charge ‘and care of all county buildings and offices; the examining, settling and auditing all accounts ‘ohargeable against the county, besides otter important du- tes, legislative as well as execative, imposed on us by law. ‘The proper discharge of these various duties | need not say will demand a considerable portion of your time, and re- quire the exercise of the greatest care. 1am sure, however, that your time will be er bestowed, and duties Se performed that, while the public interests ‘shail be ju- @itionsly cared for, no unnecessary expenditure of the public money will be incurred. It has been recently barged, however, by a high ofticial, that under the con- stroction this Board puts on its powers it has become am institation combining both executive and legislative ae to an extraordinary degree. This Board, 1 be- re ee has, since its organization unier the 1857, performed al} the duties (and some others) ED, on it by the constitution and laws of the State. ‘possesses and exercises no other general powers than such at belong to the ot! + Boards of Supervisors in the Beveral counties of the State. These pow2re are to a cer- tain extent, 1 admit, executive as well as legislative. ‘his may be an unusual practice in municipal city govern- ment, but not in county government. The Supervisors of feeunties have always exercised such powers to a greater or lees degree, aud even the Board of Super. ‘Wieors uuder the old organization, prior to 1857, pos- wensed the same general executive and Teainlative ra, and acted on the same. The difference now is instead of these powers being exercised by the Mayor, Recorder and Aldermen, they are placed in a Board composed of members clected by the people only fer thote particular duties, thus confining the Aldermen te their duties as members of the poeple Gounsil and the city government—the Supervisors to those®pf the eounty government. The change has so far worked well; Mt has resulted in the seperation of the city and county. ‘ecounts, which before were frequently complicated and a, the city expenses being then often paid from county appropriations, and the county from the city a|ppropriations. ie confusion of these accounts has sinee been avoided by their seperation. For this credit is, nodoubt, due to the promptness and care with which eur present Compirolior bas carried out the ordinance adopted by this Bord, establishing a bureau for county expenses. I may add, gentlemen, that no additional member of officers or further accommodations than is pow afforded will be required for the bureau for many years. Ret us continue to fulfil, faithfully the duties imposed on ws. We have still the public contidence, and so long a8 ‘we endeavor to lighten the burdens of taxation by a just ecenomy in the expenditures of tne public moneys, and weeure to the people a wholesome administration of our eounty government, we will still receive their confidence and suppert. ‘Mr. Joseph B.

Supervieor Pvrnt eaid that certain insinuations against fais Board had been made in the Mayor’s message, which: were not founded in fact, and it it were not for past ‘ages, he would oppose the motion. During the Inet this Board had saved the county mapy thousands of Zetaere, and in almost every appropriation there was a ‘Palance left unexpended. ‘Supervisor KENNEDY said that the official whom this mo- ‘Won Was intended to honor entered on his present position ‘as Mayor with a slander on this Board; and be (Mr. K.) for ene dit not wish ‘to lick the hand that emote him.’ Supervisor Bett read from the minutes of the prece fing year to show that it has been customary to wait upon the Mayor Supervisor Bont said that he made the motion out of reepect to the office, and he cared not whether the incam- ‘ent bad slandered this Board or not; but it was the duty ‘ef the Board to inform the Mayor of its organization. ‘The motion was carried, and Messrs. Blunt and Pardy ‘were appointed such committee to wait on the Mayor. @n their return Mr. Blunt announced that the Mayor @anked the Board, but had no communication to make.

Brady, Baq., in whose office he re- mained ag an associate up to the time of his death. Pre- vious to his coming to this city Mr. Burchard was for a time Private Secretary to the Governor of Illinois, He was aman of fine literary taste, and possessed, at the time of his decease, a library of rare aud vatuable mis- Cellaneous books. He was a sound lawyer, though he seldom appeared as an advocate; he was of amiable dis- position, and always proved himself a stesdfast and sin- eere friend. Mr. Burchard was unmarried. The Oourt of Common Pleas and the Marine Court adjourned out of respect to hie memory, after suitable remarks, but most of the other Courts had adjourned for want of business before the announcement of his demise could be made. ‘The feneral will take place this day (Wednesday) at two o'clock. In the Common Pleas, before Judge Brady, Mr. A. Oakey Hall, in suitabie and feeling remarks, moved the adjourn- ment of the Court in Toapect to the momory of Mr. Burchard. He paid a high tribute to his worth as a man and merits as a lawyer, and remarked that ifhe was not as generally known amonget the profession as other lawyers, it was from the fact of hie mildaess of de- meanor, his nnobtrusiveness, and his professional duties being more in the office than’ in the courts. Judge Brasty bore testimony to the good qualities of the deceased, and spoke evidently under feetings of deep emotion. He said in conclusion, Mr. Burchard was a man of fine intellect, of extensive and varied information, ani of great promise. He exhibited in sooial tif qualities most genial, y possessed a kind beart, @nd was a sincere friend.

Board of Ten Governors, The weekly meeting of the Board of Almshouse Gov- ernors took place yesterday—Governor B. F. Pinkney in the chair. ‘The number of inmates in the institution? at present is 8,148—an increase of 166 over last week. The number admitted during the week was 1,247, and those who died, were discharged or sent to other institutions numbered 1,081. A communication reporting the escape of Edward Ken- nedy and Robert Scott, inmates of that institution, on the 25th of December last, was received from the warden. The Warden of the City Prison reported that he bad established @ library for the inmaten of that institution, and reported the names of several citizens who have made contributions of books towards it. On wotion of Governor Smith, the thanks of the Board were tendered to the Warden of the City prison for his action. ‘A communication was recived from Meyer, of- fering to exterminate rats from the instita ‘Gover- nor Deano hoped that matter would not fall to the ground, He knew the condition of all the prisons in the city tobe deplorab!c, and often wondered why the legs were not eaten of prisoners.

Governor Sarr moved that to secure individual regpon- sibility in each member of the Board, ail bills incurred by them for wines, se; or refreshments be submitted to the Board, for their approval in future.

Torspay, Jan. 10—6 P, M. The following is a comparative statement of the exports, exclusive of specie, from New York to foreign ports for the week ending January 9:— 1858. 1869. 1860. For the week.. $649,569 664,752 1,042,827 Thus the year begins well; the exports of bread" stuffs will doubtless this year swell the aggregate exports of domestic produce from this port above iast year’s. Cotton also continues to figure more prominently than usual in our export retarns. The money market would probably have been easier to-day but for the simultaneous arrival of seven Southern mails, all containing sight drafts on our banking houses, which naturally caused a goud deal of movement in the market. The brokers were supplied by one of the large banks, which received a heavy sum thia morning, and loaned it outat once. On the whole, the general feeling to- day was easier and the money supply larger, though rates were well maintained. An idea ap- pears to prevail in certain quarters that we have seen the last of cheap money, and that loans will not rule below seven between this and next fall. Those who entertain this view cannot have an en- larged experience of our market. Until withio the past two years, when all roles were at fault, the money market invariably became stringent toward the close of the year, and remained so till the 15th or 20th of January. The stringency was caused by the universal preparations for the payment of dividends and interest and the redemption of scrip at New Year. A sum of from eight to twelve millions was regularly, for these purposes, withdrawn from the market between Christmas and New Year, and consequently, until that money returned into its old channels, and was again available for the purposes of borrowers, parties in need of money were obliged to pay whatever lenders chose to ask, and 12 to 18 per cent were quoted common rates of interest. In 1858 and 1859 the effects of the crisis checked the operation of the usual law. The amount paid out in the shape of dividends, &c., ‘was less than usual; at New Year’s, 1857, no busi- nese was doing, no one was borrowing money, and there was no demand to put up rates. At New Year, 1859, the banks held nearly $28,000,000 of specie, and were #0 anxious to make interest on their capital that they lent money freely enough to keep the rate down. At New Year, 1860, the law worked as formerly, the purturbating causes of 1858 and 1859 having ceased to operate. Money advanced from five to seven per cent between Christmas and New Year, and thongh growing gradually more plentiful, is still worth the higher figure. In all probability the market will remain pretty steady for a week or more, after which, if no unforeseen accident happens, it will be safe to look for lower rates. There is nothing further with regard to Mr. Story’s failure; his liabilities are va- riously estimated from $350,000 to $700,000. There ‘was some taik to-day about the failure of a note broker; we presume it is an old story. Foreign exchange is lower again, the pressure of Southern bills for sale in our market being quite marked. Very excellent bills have been sold to- day at 108 for sterling, and 5.21} for francs. Our city drawers are asking 108} a j; but we hear of no sales above 108}, and few as high as that. But for the recent fall in exchange on New York at New Orleans, it would be safe to lookfor heavy shipments of coin in that direction. As it is, some gold will probably be sent South in anticipation of the fall. The following are the quotations of sight bills on New York at the cities mentioned, the rates being in all cases for the currency of the cities at which the bills are drawn:— There was more business done on the Stock Ex- change to-day, and the commission brokers are more lively, At the opening the market was dull, and prices of some descriptions, especially Cen- tral, were lower; but as the session progressed prices improved, and the market left off stronger. In the afternoon stocks were rather better, and closed steady. Central sold very largely in the morning at 73}, a decline of 4 per cent from yes terday’s price. It subsequently recovered to 73}, at which price bid it closed for the day. Galena fell off $a },closing at 62§ bid against 623 at the close yes- terday. Rock Island was very steady, with a large business; the closing price was the same as yester- day's. Reading was off, in consequence of the an- nual statement, which is less satisfactory than was anticipated: it was dull throughout the day, and closed at a decline of 1 per ceat. Wlinois Central declined 3; Hudson River and the Michigan shares were steady. State stocks are not in favor; Missouris continue te decline. The non-organization of Congress is certainly ex- ercising a quiet but powerful inftuence on State securities, Missouris are now four per cent below where they were when Congress met, and the chances are fair for a further decline, if that body continues to pursne its present disorganizing, tar- bulent, and unreasonable course. The closing prices of the day were:—Virginia 6's, 90{ a 91; Missouri 6's, 78] a 79; Canton, 16}a17; Camber- land Coal preferred, 15} a 3; Pacific Mail Steam- ship, 75 a 1; New York Central, 734 a {; Erie, 83 1; Hudson River, 42 a 4; Harlem, 87 a 9; preferred, $3 a 34; Reading, 40 a }; Michigan Central, 37 a j; Michigan Sonthers and Northern Indiana, 67; do. guaranteed, 16] a ¢; Panama, 126j a4; Ilinois Central, 57f a 58; Galena and Chicago, 68 aj; Cleveland and Toledo, 193 a}; Chicago and Rock Island, 62} a j.

Every department shows an increase in the quantities carried aad in the re- ceipts, while there bas been a general reduction in the cost of transportation and other expenses. A comparison with the business of 1858 shows the following reaulws, viz: In merchandise an increase of 146,850 2-10 in tons carried, $138,972 73 in receipt, and $67, 842 56 in profit.
