10 GOVERNMENT OF CITIES. » —~2——— “THE COMMISSIONERS, AND WHAT THEY THINK OP THEIB WORK—A DIFFICULT PROBLEM. Following the telegraphic report tn the Henaup of yesterday, that Governor Tilden has appointed William Me Evarts, Samuel Hand, B L. Godkin, Edward Cooper, Martin 3B. Anderson, John A Lott, | James & Carter, Oswald Owendorfer, William A. Butter, Simon Sterne, Joshua M. Van Cott and Henry F, Dimmock Commissioners to Gevine a plan for the government of the cities of the State, « reporter was sent to Messrs, Evarts, Utten- aorfer and others to ask their views as to why it has been thought best to change the existing plans for city government, why they had been selected, when they propose to organize and what they propose to do. MR. WILLIAM M. BVARTS a was found m his office, and after having perused the sip from the Hxraty Mr, Evarts informed the veporter that, as on many ocensions of grave tmport- ance, he bad received from the Herato, through him, his first tnformation that such a commission had been formed. Giancing along the list for a moment again, he said, “Well, it is a work of vast cousequence that is to be done by the commission—one which will require vory great care and attention—and it seems to me, without reference to myself, that the Governor has made a very fair selection of gentlemen for the work he proposes, Aside from their other qualifications they seem to have been selected equally from the two political parties which deprives the commission of all partisan color, tng.” As be had only that moment come to @ knowl- ‘edge of the appointment of the commission he gould ive no information as to its organization fe felt sure, however, that the gravity and importance ‘of the work allotted to them would meet with due ap- preciation. Mr, Oswald Ottendorfer, editor of the Staats Zeitung, was found better informed than Mr. Evarts concerning the appointment of the Commissioners. He was familiar with the Governor's desires in relation to the Proposed work and the action of the Legis- juture {0 reference thereto. He felt that there was great need of very Important changes in the government of all of the cities of the State having 150,000 population, How best to secure the change required was the most serious question the Legislature has to solve, Our cities are increasing in popu- lation from year to year, and how to secure a much needed, better government for them was @ very difficult matter to decide. But that there mast be some changes under our present republican form of governing dense populations was clearly apparent, for if there Was not soon some well recognized reform wo would, at no distant day, have po republican form even to preserve. “The need'here now,” said he, ‘though not the same in detail, is similar to what was felt to be needed among the great cities of Germany 48 far back as 1514. It then seemed clear to the authorities and many of the peopie there that there was a great necessity for some well devised common system for the government of all the German citics, Changes were accordingly made and observed from the date named, through, 1 am sure, to 1859, in regard to all the large cities of that contr: ‘The regulations made there, however, were not then nor would they now be applicable here under a repub- Jican form of government, Still the same gen- eral principles are involved here, and the reforms effected there might be worked over and made to suit the requirements here. fn such manner as would be consistent with our differ- ent form of government. Governor Tilden’s desire is that it shall be much more difficult for our cities to incur indebtedness than it bas been. 1 remember a conversation with Charles ©’Conor on the subiect, during which he said he wished “the government of cities was so restricted that they could not loan their credit to the extent of a single cent,” and the same fee ally every day. THE LAW ON TI SUBJECT. The authority on which the commission has been &ppointed is found in the State Constitution, article 8, section 9, which declares that !t shall be the duty of the Legislature to provide for the organization of cities and tncorpopated villages and to restrict their power Of taxation, ameasmeat, borrowing money, contracting debts and loaning their credit, so as to prevent abuses fn assessments and in contracting debt by such munici- pal corporations. In reference to the growing necessity for such a commission the Governor says that the Constitutional Convention of 1848, having exhausted its sessions tu the consideration of questions upon which it acted, and fading itself unable to deal adequately with the prob- Jem of municipal government, on the day before its adjournment charged that duty upon the Legislature. lis primary object = was to protect tax. payers in the munrcipalities against abuses on the part of local governing officials, in the contrac, tion of municipal debts and in the loaning of municipa’ credit, Those evils had already attracted attention’ though they were at that time but in the beginning of the monstrous growth to which they Rave since at- tated. In the years which have elapsed the in- crease of population has been chiefly in the cities and jucorporated villages, until, at the census of 1870, those organizations embraced more than $2,000,000, and now $2,400,000 of our people, | The course of the legislation, so hertmgthe Injinne. | Soares Che eone tutu eet AIRY 10 the opposite | Girection, Every annual statute book, sys the Gov- ernor, bas been. largely oocupied with euactinemts fav. ring’ grow:h of municipal expenditure, “involving taxation, assessments, the contraction of debt and the loaning of credit. ‘The aggregate valuation of property fr twonts foc of the cities of the State, subject to taxa- jon in 1874, was $1,569,535,074. The aggregate city taxation was $26,439,121.’ The aggregate county and State taxation was $15,990,487. The aggregate of taxa- tion was $50,420,609. The aggregate debt of these citics was $175,657,267. Computing the taxation and debt on the population of 1870, adding twenty per cent for subse- quent growth, the city taxation was §15 57, the county and State taxation $5 98, and the agrregate was $21 55 for each inhabitant. The city debt for each inhabitant ‘was $75 80. It must be borne in mind that the propor- tion of the assessed valuation of real estate to its actual value is fixed in thks reports according to a standard | from which there is now a large reduction. The or ie 5643 per cent of the true value. Of the recent fall in marketable walues be estimated at one-third the rate of assessed valuation would be eighty per cent of the actual value. In 1853, when the population of the United States num- Dered 25,000,000, the whole cost of its government was uader $55,000,000, It willbe seen, said the Governor, that less than 2,500,600 inhabitants of the cities of New York ‘pay nearly as much taxation as was imposed on 25,000,000 about twenty years ago for the cost of army, navy, and all other expenses ofthe government. 1's decade, says the Governor, again, beginning tn 1865, the people have paid In taxes, computed in currency, $7,000,000, Of this three-fifths were for the use of the fe 1 government and two-fifths for the State and municipal | Now, it cannot be that much too large a portion of the net earnings of industry, and of the whole net income of sociéty, ts taken for the purpose of carrying on the goyernment of this country.

Contrary to ail expectation, Mr, O’Conor still live: ‘and the improvement in his condition, though slight, would almost justify the hope that he may yet survive, His wonderful constitution and bis great power of will have enabled him t make an obstinate struggle for life and to endure an amount of physical suffering that would have quickly disposed of an ordinary map. In the early pert gf the forenoon yesterday some food was given him, and as bis stomach retained it bis case | is regarded as more hopeful, as even beef tea would not remain in it for some days previous. Mr. Robert Liv- ingstone, of West Point, nephew of the late Mrs. | Q’Conor, remained all Monday night by his bedside, and bis faithful attendant, Rose Bray, was also at her | accustomed post, Mr, Sloane, Mr. 0’Conor’s brother. | in-law, left for New York at an early hour yesterday | morbing, apparently hopeful that the worst was over. | The doctors aid not interfere with the watchers yester” day, ease and nursing being the chief requisites for the patient's recovery, Even clergymen were not allowed to see the distinguished jurist, who must have perfect quiet if he tg to recover. It all depends on his constitu- tion and his power of will, but his constitution is greatly shattered. ‘The food given to him yesterday was a little soft toast, spread with sugar in @ liquid form, and his only drink was seltzer water in very smailquantities, Ex-Judgo Peabody called at the O’Conor mansion yesterday morning to see his old friend, and declared himself astonished at the patient’s power to fight the destroyer. Mr, O’Conor's sister, Mrs, Sloane, is quite sanguine of bis ultimate recovery. Dr, Keyes remains constantly in the house, so as to Be present in case of any sudden attack or spasm, He considered that Mr. O’Conor would live certainly until this morning. . Mr. O’Conor’s next of kin are Mr. Sloane and wife and their children and Mr. Ernest McCracken, whose brother Frank, a young man of great promise, was killed by a fall from his horse some years ago in the neighborhood of Fort Washington. THB SITUATION OF MR. O'CONOR LAST NIGHT was about the same as during the day. Mr. McCracken stated his intellect is as bright as ever, but ho shows signs of great lassitude and of nervous prostration, It is said that the gigantic details of the Singer case, in- volving millions of dollars, are annoying him as he lays helpless, although all newpapers were kept from him and he was secluded from noise and intrusion. A singular proof is given of Mr. O’Conor’s ae- yotion to labor in the fact that Christmas Day was the only day in the year upon which be did not work. He constdered that day, on account of his enforced abstinence from work, the longest in the year. Mrs, Rowe, a relation of the late Mrs, O’Conor, and | whose maiden name is also Livingston, called yesterday | and expressed a strong belief in Mr. 0’Conor’s recovery. | ‘The people in the neighborhood of Inwood, Carmans- | ville, Fort Washington and Manhattanville were very anxious about Mr. 0’Conor’s situation and had as many anecdotes to tell of him as were told of O’Connell, Cur- ran, Rutus Choate, Daniel Webster or Jobn Randolph, of Roanoke, WHAT 4 COLLEAGUE OF MR. O’CONOR SAYS. A Henatp reporter called on Mr. Wheeler H. Peck- ham, the eminent counsel who was associated with Mr. O’Conor in the prosecution of the Ring suits, and had from tim the following narrative of Mr. O’Conor’s con- nection with the great legal campaign and also his testimony to the singular traits of character that distinguished the celebrated lawyer. Mr. Peckham | said, “In the death of Mr. Charles O’Conor the city of New York would lose a very great friend, and it is | not extravagance to say that the whole nation would | sustain a deprivation, because Mr. O’Conor be- | longed to a race of lawyers and patriots who are now, dren.

CONDITION—HIS GREAT SERVICES TO THE | pROrEsSOR THOMAS HEWITT KEY, THE PHILOL- oGisT. A cable telegram from London, under date of yester- day, November 30, reports as follows ‘Thomas Hewitt Key, the philologist, is dead. mathematical professor in the University of Virginia in 1824.” Thomas Hewitt Key, M. A., F. R. S., was born in the year 1799, in London, He was consequently 6 years of age at the time of his death, He wasason of the | late Thomas Key, M. D., of London, and brother of the late Mr, Aston Key, the eminent English surgeon, He was educated at St. Jon's College, Cambridge, and pro- ceeded to Trinity College, where he graduated as a wrangler in the year 1821. 'He studied medicine, Sub- sequently he accepted the Professorship of Mathematics in the University of Virginia, United States. He re- turned to England from America in the year 1827, and became Professor of Latin in the University of London, on the establishment of that institution in 1828, Mr. Key subsequently re- signed the chair of Latin for that of Competitive Gram- mar, This was in the year 1841. This professorship, as well as the head mastership of the school, he con tinued to hold. His reputation as scholar and publicist stood very high. He was engaged during many years past on the work of a Latin-English dictionary, AN OLD LADY BURNED. A PROTECTION AGAINST THE WINTER WIND RESULTS IN AN ACCIDENT THAT WILL PROB- ABLY BE FATAL—A WIDOW LADY ENCOM- PASSED IN FLAMES. : Newport, R. 1., Nov. 30, 1875. A widow lady named Margaret Cochrane, aged seventy-five years, living alone on Kinsley’s wharf, in this city, was most shockingly burned this noon. After making a fire she procured a quilt to wrap around her, asthe wind found its way into her poverty stricken home. Before doing this, however, she beld it up to the stove to warm. In this way it took fire, but she did not perceive it, and so put {t around her, Ina few moments it was in flames, and sho, not baving pres- ence of mind, ran up stairs into a neighbor's house, and, finding’no one in, returned and made her way into the’ streets By this time her clothing was all ablaze, and the strong wind only served to fan the flames. The neighbors ran out with blankets to envelop her in, but this action was delayed too long; her clothing clear to her skin was burned entirely off’ to where they were fastened around her waist. The skin from her ankles to her waist was entirely burned off, and it dropped off like chaff, Her sufferings were intense, and alarge number of people congregated in and about the scene of the accident, She was alive at nine o’clock this evening; but neither Dr. Stanton nor Squires, who are attending her, believe that she can Live until morning. NEW JERSEY POLITICS. THE GATHERING OF THE MEMBERS OF THE LEGISLATURE—CANVASSING FOR THE NEW SUBORDINATE OFFICERS—PROBABLE CANDI- DATES, Trewrox, N. J., Nov. 80, 1875, Quite an influx of politicians, legislators-elect and office seekers, paid a visit to this city today, At the coming session of the Legislature two or three lucrative offices will have to be filled, and, as 1s custom- ary, the candidates for each position are legion. Prob- ably the most lucrative office is that of State Prison keeper, now held by Mr, Charles Wilsgn, of Camden, It 4s worth at least $10,000 a year. The present incumbent has occupied it for three years, and he expects a re- appointment, which, if he is successful, would give him a further term of five years’ lease of authority, accord- ing to the change made by the adoption’ of the constitutional amendments. ‘Governor Bedle bas the appointment, with the advice and consent of the Senate. The Governor js a democrat and the Senate is republican, Owing to this a conflict or disagreement between these two authorities or fountains of govern- ment in respect to their gift of office is not tmprob- able. Ifthe Governor appoints a democrat to succeed Xr, Wilson, who is @ republican, the Senate may not acquiesce. ' General Mott, present State Treasurer; unhappily, very scarce The self sacrifice of Mr. O’Conor in the interests of New York city will hardly | ever be fully appreciated. He did extraordinary work:| in bebalf of a community that waked and went to sleep without ever thinking of the powerful intellect working in the dismal reaches of the night for a way of restraining the wholesale plunder of the Tammany Ring. About the fall of 1870 Governor Hoffman gave | such instructions to the Astorney General as resulted | in calling on Mr. O'Conor to institute such proceedings | as he deemed best against those charged with robbery of the city treasury. Mr. O'Conor had already been | in consultation with Mr. ecticsaniec Tiiden had at that time partly comploted,,...AS .RNANTPURR of the paren, cechalee of Mr. O'Conor, Mr. W. K. Pratt Fudge’ Emmott and myself, was organized for the prosecution of such legal remedies as were thought advbable. Suits were then begun against Tweed, In- Gersoll, Fields and Connoily, and were prosecuted with ¥arying success uatil the final decision of the Court of Appeals in the Ingersoll case that such suits could not be maintained in the name of the people. After that Mr. O'Conor was very active in procuring the legisla- tion of last winter providing for the maintenance of such suits. Pursuant to that legislation the present pending suits were instituted. In the conduct of these euits he developed THE MOST AUSOLUTE SINGLENESS OV PURPOSE, animated by the sole desire to effect a peaceful revolu- tion, and to remove the corruption that for some years past ee sag og tm tne politics of New York, and to fo whattver he micht to give a purcr and better overnment to the city. I don’t know of any man that Spproached im in absolutely unselfish devotion 10 | that end. He has been throughout the whole course of this conflict without any | | personal purpose or ambition other than | the success of the object at which he aimed. He had wonderfully keen appreciation of the political evi from which we have long suffered, and the stronge t | possible convictions that their eradication was possibie | and must be accomplished. The object that he had j in the prosecution of these suits was not ail a | business or a pecuniary one. He felt, indeed, very | little interest in the question whether the city or | county of New York should recover a few millions | of the stolen money, but he felt that it was infinitely | {mportant tor the well being of the community that | official malversation should be sternly condemned and that the peculators should be deprived of the fruits of their crime. To that end he gave the last four years of | his life, and it was during the violent heat of last eum- mer, when, exhausted by the lator he had given to | the analyses of figures and accounts and to the | preparation of long and important papers, that he was | first struck with the disease which nas proved mortal. | The citizens of New York may be satisfied that he has | given to them during these years not only his unex- | ampled skill as a lawyer aud’ an advocate, but that he | has simply sucrificed his life im their behalf. The amount of labor, skill, acumen and energy he gave to | these various prosecutions is almost beyond expression. HON. IRA HARRIS. | Aumaxy, N. ¥., Nov. 80, 1875. | Hon.

A charity bazaar and concert, the proceeds of which are to be devoted to the erection of the first house of the Mission of the Immaculate Virgin for the Protec- tion of Homeless Children, was opened in Tathmany Hall last evening. The aair was conducted upon the lottery system and the premiums to be disthibuted among the audience amounted to $1,000. As the pickets were issued at the low price of twenty-five cents, an immense concourse was pfesent, The hall and stairways were all crowded and the people in the strect who clamored for entrance numbered about 2,000, ‘The bazaar and concerk were under the direction of the Rev, J.
