servations the resolutions he had just read He said
he accustomed sneak these matters indeed
he had given them but little confederation but circum
had occurred 70 which he could not turn deal
ear to what said around him. The gentleman then
t. argue that not for the want OF power
IN the Common Council that Municipal reform was
quired but from their having too much power which
bestowed upon them by the charter Of Montgomery. He
WISHED the Of New York to be similar that

single step towards retfenchment was made
rhe gentleman then proceeded to show that the elunc
pal law OF this city different from that OF any other
city throughout the Unions different in every respect from
the true fundamental principles OF democratic govern


who cared little Or nUhne Sm Ur
wants or wishes OF the people long as he could put
nsy 10 the pockets Of his hrelng toos and indeed such
the monarchica laws OF this city at the tme
aud under such the present and previous Corporations

rich. Now how this dene7 They had nothing per
dlsm and yet they got rich on it. Laughter9 He did
no think the speakers who had recede1 him were OF that
number for he believed they were like him elf poor
possible aughterl But yet 1t was well known case
prepared to say how ali the evils existing in the body cor
porate to be remediedthe joint Committees would
better point thai outs but whatever was done ought be





suggestions and strongly recommended the system po
lice present adopted London and Paris wherein the
police were not rewarded according to the amount Of
crime in this city, but according to Its dimnution
and II this system that caused many Of the thever
hey could perform their evil deeds with comparative SO
cnrty. He said the present stem Of Police the
greatest curse that was ever inflicted this city nine
tenhs OF The crime perpetrated it, he'd its origin in that
very which organized for its suppression. He
ouli very much like to exposed the proceedings Of
the chamber of the Tombs for the last four FIVE
years it would be such exposure would astonish
the world and bad they all be- II closely
examined he had little doubt but would found to be
ten times worse than they imagined (Hesr hear)
The gentleman concluded very excellent address OF
considerable length strongly recommended the adoption
the resolutions and sat down amid considerable cheer


The resolutions then put from the chair and car.
Mr. BE.py was then called upon and after some short
time came forward ard sal that although young
aud that the line oi proceedings now recommended was
the to b. adopted No matter what my political
opinions may be- wish to place the city Of New York in
admit that Whatever parfy has been in power have
received good from them tor years psst Whose
'ault this Yours-mne In our eagerness for sice
neglected duty and the welfare Of the city Hear
he ~ The charter Of 1873 went to do good but
never brought into practice 1t went to publish the
of all parties expendng the funds Of the city yet
his law never called into practice As to the
css Of the veto poica, parties had changed sid
then the supported it, and the democrats
posed it. Notwithstanding all the existing evils III





equal TO any city Of the world Look at the ex.
chemen prevailing throughout the la'e election; was
there better order under such great excitement
this arose from the love of good order which pre-
vailed in the breasts Of the people cy way
was this state Of things owing to the police The grea,
immediate attentions and you wish for good reform in
this respect you must reform yourselves, and not elect
men to office political pariizans. To such
tent has this been done that the owner Of the Aims
hearse is elected account of his political op
nons who was a, man for the Office ofPresident Now
tStO w In
those p esent in that Office must say that in my op
non, not one Of them are f for the situation in whic
they placed knowing nothing Of the business requ ed
of them. Now all the alterations which you shly
make in your charter will not be worth straw unless
have good men in office TO carry out yonr views
Let just look at the state Of our police for a few
years past, and what had 1t been, and what had
has been no fewer than FIVE cold.blooded delibe.
rl'o murders one OF young who
deliberately shot when closing his store, with


middle of the street, then there another killed

murder O.! Mary Rogers and two Others Yet in all these
the least peins taken discover the per-
perors and they remain undiscovered unto the present

Jay II was not SO long since that villain marched
through hem who had confessed that he had committed
thirteen deliberate murders, and yet there pains
aken to recapture him. Then look to the state OF
streets He believe ed there was not more dirty illpaved,
ear,h-where life ard limb endangered by the
cslpaole negligence of those in power Now the only
way 10 REMEDY iheSe gross evils was Dy placing men In
who would carry the and wishes Of their

the way 10 this adopt the principles laid down in

kenw their duty and performed II satisfactorily to the
public generally because they somewhat differed in po.
