BROOKLYN Kicking Against the Distribution of Piwer and Patronaze—The Board of Aldermm in Search of Their “Veated Rights’—Repat of the Law Committee. The Law Committee of the Board of Alde-men have drawn up a report im regard to proposed amendments to the city charter. They contend that there is & want of central power in the local govern- ment; that this central power should be amerabie to the people, so that it might be directly reamed for the correction of abuses and the performance? by public oficers of their respective duties. The Legislature appomted the Police Commis- sioners; the Governur aud Senate appointed the Heatth Commissioners; the Mayor, Comptroller, Cor- poration Counsel and City ‘Treasurer appointed the Waier and Sewerage Commissioners; the Mayor, Strees Commissioner, President of the Board of Aj- dermen, City Treasurer and Comptroller appointed the Fire Commissionors, ana the Mayor, and city Supervisors appointed the Board of Assessors, None of these officers were appointed by any local Board witich lad any existence or authority as a Board, ee believe the authority should be vested inthe Mayor and Commou Conneti. The general principles upon which amendments to the charter should be made are as follows:— First—All the present irregular and exceptional modes of appolntment of city oticers and heads of departments to be abolished and the principal oilicers to be uppointed by the Mayor and approved by the Common Council. Scond—The elective officers. except the Mayor and Alder- men, to be appointed in the same way, but the present im. cambents to hold office during their present terms, Ali. in- spectors of pavements and of contracts to be appointed in the same way. Third—The powers of authority of the Water Board to be restored as it existed previous to the act of 1869, and the powers taken by that act from the Common Conndil aad in- veaed in the Water Board to be restored to tke Common Conneil, with provisions authorizing street improvements without’ petition and notwithstanding remonstrances, by « two-thirds vote of members elected, with the approval of the Mayor, or by a unanimous vote without bis approval, after he shail have expressed bis disapproval within # certain ime wre fixed.

To tight and conquer that party be thought it abso- Jutely necessary to be well organized, Mr. Macoy concluded by offering resolutions approving of We course of General Siocum in Congress on the ques- tion oF finances, and they were unanimously adopted. Mr. Tiiomas H. Ev.torr then offered ‘a series of resolutions, to the eifect that the meeting disap- had of State commissions in general, but that the Hrooklyn commissions, selected as they were by the elective Officers of the city, were entirely cousistent Wilh democratic principles and an advantage w the citizens. ‘The resolations gave rise to an animated debate, in which ex-Supervisor John Fiaherty, Colonel AL well, Henjamin S.

Another match of hardly Jess promising nature to those immediately interested in prize ring matters ia on the fapis, aud,.fram present appearances, will resuit in a speedy arrangement. tis the second meeting between these light weight out-and-ontersa, talked of quite incessantly since Collyer, aller nis defeat by Edwards, expressed a desire to again mect his conqueror. In a letter from Collyer he expresses his willlngness to meet Kdwards, febt nim for $1,000 a side ac 124 pounds, each to be weighed on the morning of the contest, two months from date of signing articles, and to toss for choice of corners. In this communication Collyer desires that Edwards shail have drawyp aud that he shall sign the neces- sary articles and then forward them to hit at Balti- more, when he will sign them in turn without de- lay. That he desires to go on wilh the matter as speedily as possible Collyer has deposited in this city fifty dollars, and cails on his prospective oppo- nent to cover it—which, without doubt, will be speedily done.
