His message as to tho consus was one of these, But without such advice from the Mayor, the procecdings of the Common Council show that they aro habitual offend- ers. There are but few meetings of either Board at which resolutions have not been passed in utter disregard of the law, nearly all of which havo received the Mayor's ap- proval. Several of these resolutions the Commissioner of Public Works has pro- ceeded to carry into execution by ordering, as he lntely made public, an expenditure of np- ward of $700,000, for only a small portion of which was there an appropriation in tho treasury. All the resolutions of the Common Council asto paving are passed in violation of tho law, as each resolution directs the work to bo exceuted by the Commissioner at the expenso of tho city, before there is any assessment made, collected, or apportioned for the pur- pose. But these are matters of daily occur- rence. Are they to be permitted to proceed ? It is clear that neither the Mayor, his fel- low officials, nor the members of the Com- mon Council can be trusted in observing, or securing the observance of the law aa it at ‘The law, therefore, must be amended, #0 a8 to gain the respect of all these parties by compelling obedience. An addition to section 101 of the Charter should be enacted, that any ordinance passed by the Common Council directing any act in vio- lation of its provisions shall be null and void, and that any transyression of the law by any official connected with the eity govern ment, from the Mayor to the humblest mem ber, shall be deemed a felony, and punisha ble by imprisonment and fi This would placo the law as to the city of ew York in reference to the expenditure of the public funds on tho same footing as the existing law in reference to the expenditure of the funds in the national treasury.

At last Captain-General De Ropas, whose resignation of the command of the island of Caba has been accepted in Madrid, has con sented to the publication in Cuba of the law passed by the Cortes on May 28, for the gradual emancipation of Cuban slaves. A cable despatch says that Regent Serrano insists on its exceution. He might, with an equal probability of being obeyed, insist that the Cuban revolution be suppressed. Neither he, nor De Ropas, nor Torerr, nor any man whom the Government of Madrid may depute to rule over what remains to Spain of Cuba, can execute any such law there; simply because the volunteers, who are om. nipotent wherever the patriota are not, will openly d Both Dr Ropas and all the volunteer organizations of the island are rthe control of the Spanish Casino of Havena, ana it has determined long ago that the sacred institution of slavery in the colony shall not be interfered with by the mother country, let the Cortes legislate as they pl 8: bey it. 1K , however, even if executed, would wise the condition of the By this law of May last chil flav 1568 are free ; and slaves over six! ears of age at n improve Cuban slaves, dren born of mothers since », and all others when thoy reach this da hat age, are alao free.

A better selec tion, in our view, would be Gen, McManox, a gentleman who is popular with both sides, a good fellow and an able speaker. He would do well in Congross, and add weight to the New York delo- gation, while he would be a credit to the land of his birth.” This is all very true, and the Hon, Peren Baatrs Sweex would do well to make a note of it. When Gen. Wooprorp attempted to get his lwiy partner—the same who is said to have been paid five thousand dottara for aceuring the passage of the French Cable bill—appointed Assistant District Attorney, was he aware of the Payment of that feet If so, did he understand that it had been paid in part as consideration for his own influence, as President of the Senate, in securing the passage of the bill? Or, in other words, was Gen, Woonrorp aware that his part- nor had thus received five thousand dollars? Or had he himself an interest in that feo? Cer. tainly his effort to get the partner appointed Assistant District Attorney must be tuken as proving that he was not offended with him for receiving such ® fee under such circumstances. It proves also that he did not consider him on that account as an unfit man to fill the office of Assistant District Attorney, a placo in which, as Gen. Woovronn knows, there are many oppor- tunities for making money beyond what the law allows, and many opportunities for sharing with partners who do not publicly appear as such. pirnaneh toh Bed As we supposed, the report that Russia was about tomake waron Prussia in behalf of European equilibrium, turns out to be erroneous.

The Troy Times continues its warfare attempt to elect Mr, J.
