They now have an opportunity to remedy all this by adopting the new Constitution That instrument provides that general Taws shall be passed by the Leyislature, at its first session, for the organization and government of cities, and that no special acts shall be passed for this purpose except when the object cannot be attained under general laws, This will prevent all that species of discriminating legislation in re- gard to this city and Brooklyn to which the Democracy have so long aud so strenuously objected. The Constitution also provides that not only Mayors, but all city officers shall bo chosen by the clectors of cities, or be ap- pointed by such city authorities as the Legis. laturo shall designate. The authorities, however, who may be clothed with limited appointing powers, must themselves be chosen by the electors of the several citic This provision, therefore, will prevent the creation by the Legislature of any special Commissions for the city of New York, If Commissions are created, it must be done under encral laws equally applicable to all the cities of the State; and even then the Commissioners must be chosen by the elec- tors of the several cities, or be appointed by authorities chosen by those electors, By the new Constitution, Mayors are vest- ed with much larger powers than the Mayor of thie city now enjoys, According to its provisions, Mayors are clothed with authority to sce that the duties of all other city offi cers are faithfully performed; and for this purpose, they may investigate their acts, ex- amine all their books, records, and docu. ments, subject them and their subordinates to rigid inquiry under oath, and suspend or remove them from office for misconduct or neglect of duty, All this is eminently just and proper; and we need hardly say that the bestowal of such authority upon the Mayor of New York, not to speak of other large cities, would amount to ao revolution in our municipal govern. ment, and revive those earlier and better times when the Mayor was in faet, as well as in form, the Chief Magistrate of the metrop- olis of the Union, The new Constitution, then, will commit the exclusive control of ail the cities of the State to the electors thereof, to whom it properly belongs. ‘The effect of this measure upon the politics of the State is obvious, ‘The citivs are the prolific fountains whenc the Democratic party draws a large share of its strength, To place them completely un- der the control of Democratic authorities maust operate to enhance the power and influ: ence of that party, not merely in the citi themselves, but throughout the State Viewing the quertion from the stendpoiut of the cities, therefore, it is clearly for the in terest of the Democrats to see that the Con stitution is adopted, ee Canada, The annexation movement in Canada is evidently becoming broader and deoper as the prosperity of the Dominion continues to decline. A great meeting has just been held in Quobee, at which a resolution was adopted in favor of petitioning the Imperial Govern. ment of Great Britain for permission to the Dominion to join the United States, as the Tonian Isles were permitted to join Greece, The reasons for making this request are have bluntly set forth as follow: am t hove seen with wo, Wearet ‘our veal fomateleiuie rap diy, our Mi Eiht invcrost “Grseppear, ‘perhaps forever,” our maguiticeut water powers, the greatest in (he were: te of ingle locality on this continent, rush 1y past, our duore, and our youth te flower o ir populetion, flying to the United States in count. ‘thousands’ from the desolation which seems to ty as Hts Om A Geconde the aitirence existing between the depress d condition of this Dominion and the ever- ncreaning Frosperity of our nelghboring, republic, ares a tmnclonry vounaary nes Ot i sorkingor feinstitutions ‘of the two countries,” A few days before this meeting an emi- ment citizen of Cannda addressed a letter to Montreal Daily Telegraph, in which he | mediate stage of indepen’ | Dow our in the English boat, has seon fit to still more forcibly insists upon annexation to such atern logic as thi of Canada, either with or without the inter nee, is as ulti- ertath na its present misery is un mately dentable, ——_— lish) Gentlemen Behaving like Lioors.

From the very beginning the policy of the Oxford men was to ignore their Harvard competitors as far as possible, On the arrival of the latter in England, no word of welcome met them from the English t versity crew; they wore left to the care and politeness of strangers, The office of hosts was generously fulfilled by the London Row- ing Club during the stay of our men; and the gentlemen of this association deserve the gratitude of every American for the hospital- ity they exhibited to our representatives. It was five days before the Oxford men thought it proper to become aware of the arrival of their antagovists, They then consented to emerge from their retirement, and arrange the details of the race, in regard to which they demanded everything, and conceded nothing. Finally the race was rowed. Nearly all the English papers had stated thet the Har. vard mon did not know how to row ; that they hefther caught the water well nor hell it, nor were quick to recover; that they dipped too deep and had neither form nor style; aud finally in their accounts of the race they stated that our crew rowed wildly and lost form ; that our coxswain lost his presence of mind and steered tho boat shamefully, It was also well understood that two of our men were sick and unfit to be in a boat, When it appeared by the report of the judge, Sir Auuney Pavr, that in face of all this the best crew that Oxford ever mustered only led us by a length and a half, it really seemed that some explanation was necessary, and Mr. WILLAN comes forward accordingly with the statement that they “ paddled” easily along tho last part of the race, and with the insinuation that if they had chosen to row they might have won by a distance Ko great that he leaves it to the imagination of the reader to proloug and supply accord.ng to his fancy, But Mr, WinLAN forgot that between the race aud the letter there had been a dinner. It was given by the hospitable London Row ing Club to the rival crews, Of course, the Oxford idea of dignity and of gentlemanly civility to their rivals did not extend so far agto permit them toattend, They had made other engagements, and could not possibly come—were going to Switzerland, in tact and must go at once, Lest it should seem too insulting for every one of them to be absent, they deputed the reluctant Wi.LANn to represent them, This gentleman, who has pulled in some of the best contested races with Cambridge, replied to a toast to the Oxford crew, and stated that the present race was the best he had ever rowed. On the heels of this declaration comes his letter suggesting that it was won without any dif. culty. ‘Tho distance between the two state- ments is quite as great as that which existed between the two boata, and stands in quite ag much need of explanation Finally, f ever the Oxford men come here, they will moot venture to say, very dif. ferent treatment from that which they have Jwill find f the style and we acconlol, n of the Harvard men is yy their heartennd their manners at least are those oe Ferm at Newburghs lion, Josernt F.
