In tho now city charter, prepared by Messrs, Sweeny, Twenv, Haun & Co., and tow under consideration by tho Legislature at Albany, occurs this significant section : “Bro, 8. The Common Connell shall have no power to Impore taxes Or assessments, or to borrow money, or con ract debts, or loan the eredit of the city, wor pecially authorized so to do by act of the Lagi Jatare ; and all the legislative power of tho city stial: be subordinate to, and be exercised in conformity ‘With, such special grants, restrictions, oF limitations Piate,now gr hercatier’ may be presciived vy tie islatare. We have already taken occasion to point out the conflict between the provisions of this “section and tho protestations which the Tam- many leaders have #0 often made during the past few years, As is well known, both the elty and county tax levics are now settled every year at Albany, and our Board of Su- pervisors, though they go through the form of confirming them, have no power to chango them in any particular. The result is, that while our citizens are annually fleeced by the inecrtion of the most outrageous items in the levies, their special representatives in the Legislature are enabled to declare thelr entire {nnocenee of the wrong, and to throw all the blame upon their fellow members from other parte of the State. Common senso, a8 well es sound Democratic principles, requires that ‘our people and nobody else shall have power to levy our local taxes ; and whoever recom- mends a contrary practice is recrcant to the trae Democratic faith. Mayor Hawt, writing in his organ, the Leader, last Saturday, tries to show that his new charter docs, notwithstanding the sec- tion wo have cited, restore to our citizens the power of self-taxation, for which Tnr Sts contends. He cites the 180th section of the Instrument in support of his proposition. That section, after constituting the Mayor, Comptroller, Chamberlain, and Presidents of the Boant of Supervisors of the county and of the Board of Aldermen, a“ Board of Esti- mate and Appropriation,” directs them to examine, on or before the fiftecnth of Decem- ber in each year, the oatimates of the various departments of the City Government, and fix the amounts required for each departinent for the ensuing year. It then gocs on to pay: “And such amounts, when established by the ard of ate aud Appropriation, eliall t come Hated for the various’ vbJ emditure in the year neat #ucceeding ; Bocrd"ot Supervisors of the connty ot id reby of ex nd the York eempowered ani directed annually to order aud regute amount thereof to be, according \d collected by tax upon the estates, nd personal, which are subjected to taxstion ecordine to law within the said city and county uf jew York, This provision, Mr. Haut maintains, ren- fiers all further action by the Legislature in Buthorizing the tax levies unnecessary. That this is the impression designed to be sonveyed by the language used we will read- Ny concede ; but that such will be its effect we peremptorily deny, The Supervisors are to raise the amount of the tax “ according to Jaw,” and that law is the law to be an- nually passed by the Legislature. If such fa not the true construction of the goction, It is very easy to muke it #0 plain as to leave no room for doubt. We have seen how, undor a law which appeared to limit Chamberlain SweeENy's fecs as Coun. ty Treasurer to $10,000 0 year, he draws be- tween $30,000 and $40,000; and it would not fake avery shrewd lawyer to raise 60 many @oubte as to the power of tho Board of Su. pervisors as to make @ resort to the Legisla- ture toconfirm their proceedings under this section highly useful, if not absolutely neces- wary. Beeoldes, it is abeurd to say that the Board of Supervisors is a body elected by and ai reetly responsible to the people. Out of the twelve members who’ compose it, only six are elected Ly the people, the other six being ap- pointed from among candidates whom they do not elect. Then each member holds office for six years, s0 that no matter how much of a scoundrel he may prove, he can pot bo turned out until he has had ample time to commit all the rescal'ty he bas a mind to. If Mayor Hane and hie frionds really want to reistablish the true systom of Americon governmont for this city, let them lend al! their influence to abolish Whig notoriously corrupt and inefficient body, Vest ita present powers in the hands of the Common Council to be elected Ly wards and districts, and then let that Common Couneil hevo the right of fixing the taxes both for eity and county purpeses. When they thie, they will be entitled to be regarded as tincery Dempcrata, and not Lefore. - — The Missing Crown Jewe!s nre in Mexico, A report comes to us from Mexico that will Ye interceting to several titled personages in It ia etated on good authority that the crown jewels of Spain, which have been M ssiny for some time,are in pawn at the na onal Monte ve Picdad in the city of Mex. leo Thee Burope, Precious articles are not to be eeen ty ordinary # tothat establishment ; Dut the story is that they were shown to Mr. Bewann aud one or two members of his party.

Possibly this discovery may lead to reclamations and threats from Pri and Srnnano, but they will have lit- tle effect upon the mind of Benito Jvanta and his countrymen, Foolish Attacks on Judges—Something for Gov. Hoffman to Do. It is becoming #0 fashionable to attack Judges that wo may soon expect, when elill- dren have whooping-cough, mumps, or mea- sles, to hear their troubled mothers cojn- plaining of the Judges for the prevalence of these maladics. But while weak and foolish people epend their breath in denouncing the Judges, it is almost always in the general ; we scarcely ever are able to fasten any dis- tinet, definite calumny on the slanderers. ‘There is a very poor and disreputable paper published in this city, called the Yew York Times. It wes originally started as a one cent paper—like the Dai’y Newe—vut after having suvk a large part of ita capital, by dint of raising its price it contr.ved to struggle on, It finally passed into the hands of a body of Englishmen, and has sinco lived by denouncing American Judges, who cannot be bullied by arrogant Englishmen out of the strict line of duty; and the paper ia still continued, either ns a daily or weekly. Formerly, when tho paper was gold by news men, we used to buy a copy, and always finding some mean attack on the Judges in it, we used to demand of the editors to make the charges definite; but they would never do so, because they could not. Judge Ban- NARD was the particular object of their at- tacks; but his coat of mail being composed of learuing and integrity, the poisoned shafis of calumny glided off from it as from bur- nished steel, never finding a loose joint whero they could penetrate. Now, a8 an exception, we have a specific charge against one of our Judges—no other than the mild but firm Carpozo, on whose scholarly face, a8 you sce him on the bench, you almost fancy that the plow of the mid- night study lamp still lingers. This attack is made by the Albany Argus, a journal which {s usually accurate, and which we have frequent occnsion to commend, but which is wholly out of its reckoning this time. The charge is that Judge Canpozo reeent- ly issucd a writ of habeas corpus for one Henny Key, a prisoner confined in the Montgomery county jail; that Krity was brought down here by Sheriff Heoran, of Montgonrery county, and while in this acd etillin the custedy of Sherif *, KELLY escaped. Argus censurea Judge Cannozo: 1, For iseuing the writ of habeas corpua for @ prisoner who was confined in another county ; and 2. For the escape of the prisoner, Let us see about this. First, as to issuing tho writ; The Revised Statutes provide that " Avery person committed, detained, confined or re- strained of bis liberty within this State for any criminal or supposed criminal matter,” exerpt it Le by virtue of process issued by a Court of the United States, or by the final jJadgment or decree of a competent tribunal, may prosecute a writ of Jubeas corpus; that application for such writ may be made to “any one of the Justices of the Supreme Court;” and impose a forfeiture of one thousand dottara on any Judye authorized to grant such writ Uf he refuse to grant it! It has been judicially determined that it makes no difference 1a what county of the Btate the prisoner is confined, the Judge ap- plied to must grant the writ, or incur the penalty; and besides the forfeiture of one thonsand dollars, he would also be liatle to impeachment by the Legislature, It will be seen, therefore, that Judge Can- bozo did only that which it was his impera- tive duty todo, And public officer to be condemned for doing his duty? Judge Can. p0z0 could not have done differently without violating his oath of office ; without subject- ing himself to a forfeiture of one thousand dollars; and without rendering himself 1i ale to impeachment and removal from off) We submit that when the public press secks to heap obloquy upon a Judge for simply doing that which the law has im. posed upon him ag a ps lemn duty, it com- ni ts an act of cruel injusti ethe duty of the Sheriff} not of the to keep the prisoner safely, ‘The Argus, which toward tho close of its article resuince something of its ordnary good sense, 1s conscious of thls, and sayg: “The Sheriff deserves to Le consured for hs care. leesness in not properly securing his pris or to provent his attempting to ese it the Sheriff deserves something more than censure, Such prosa carelessness is a dereliction of for which he ought to be promptly removed from office Ly the Gov- ernor of tho State Vill Gov, Horyaan, who Is bulaving letter now than he did in aformer habeas corpus case, look into this mattor? But the probability is strong that on in. vestivation it will be found that Hnoum an is not Sheriff'at all, An officor so stujadly negligent in the eare of a prigoner ag he was would be likely to be carcless in other things; and there is litle probability that he has complicd with the requirements of the law and renewed bis official bond within twenty days afier the first of January succeeding the year on which he ‘entered upon his dutlos, If he has neglected to do this, then both by the Constitution and | the etatute Inw of the State the office has trcome vacant In that case, it is the duty of Governor TlorrMAN, at once, and without auy preliminary proceedings, to appoint a succeRROT. Candidates for Sheriff of Montgomery county wil! plense forward their applications to Gov.

J. CREAMER, Scuator Sixth Visirict. It will be well when all our public offices re filled with men like the writer of this lotter—men who regard law and justice — Canadian matters are badly mixed. Al though reports from Red River are to the ef. fect that Kiel has boon again superseded by the Hudson's Bay authorities, owing to the non-pay+ ment by Canada of the £500,000 sterling, affairs there are still in anything but a satisfactory con- dition, Gor, McDovoatt, in bis explanation to his constituents, says that the Dominion Government has blundered; condemns the repudiation of Lucie engagement to the Hudson's Bay Company; and alludes ominously to the course Mr, Hows pur- sued while there, He however does not propose “kicking over his pail of confederate wilk,” but will consider himself hereafter—op until further notice—simply an independent member of the Do- minion House of Commons, which, of course, means anything or nothing. It must be comforting to Mr. McDovaatt to bo told by the Government organ that, us there had been no transfer of territory, his commis. sion—which empowered him to act as Governor on and after the 1st of December—was a picce of waste paper. It is rumored, however, that the Government has received a despatch from Eng- land in which the Imperial authorities decline to interfere in the Red River affair, Meantime, ft {3 semi-oMfcially given out at Ottawa that, afler the ext session of Perliamout, American fishermen will not be allowed to fish im Canadian watess, un- loss the United States authorities remove the duties now levied on Canadian fish. It is furthermore intimated that an export duty muy be levied by the Dominion on lumber going to the United States. Perhaps they may con- etude to add ooal to the list, in which case the Nova Scotiaus would lose no more money fur the present in mining operations, and might turn their attention to womething more profitable, A very few months now will probably give us an idea of the ultimate fortunes of all the British American colonies. a A writer who employs the signature of “Americus {s Jast out tn a neat pamphlet in favor of the permanent rule of Spain in Cuba, Ho says, {g bebalf of the Spanish tyranny, this island ‘is justly hers?

The British Government also most ardently de- sired to do away with the fatal precedent they had set in destroying our commerce.

But he suppresses the fact that the act orders that the money ehall bo expended and the survey made under tho dire of the Secretary of War, and that the Navy Department is thus excluded from it, It is just as much a violation of law and an act of usurpation for Admiral Porter to take the money thus appropriated, as it would be for bim to divert it from any appropriation for the navy, It would be well for Mr. Brooks to set on foot another inquiry, Admiral Pofren is very eun- ning in evasion, but he ought not to be allowed to break the law with impunity, if he is a favorite with the President, ——— The Rev.
