He cites the case of Halsteadvs. The Mayor, of York, to prove that tho city has no right to use its money to employ counsel in maintaining its rights to a share of the Ferry franchises. As might be expected, the case on being referred to, asserts no such doctrine. It is simply a case upon a city warrant, where the common doctrine is declared, as well of partnerships as of jnanieipal governments, that draft or warrant by the cor poration of New York, not in the course of its proper and legitimate business, is void." It rather late now to take the extraordinary view of the Alderman, when )he Corporation, Alderman Kalbfleisch assisting, has thus far taken the opposite view. It may be trne that the City Counsellor is employed to do the legal business of the City, but it is more true in effect that he uses the office for his own and party purposes.

The City Counsellor is very likely to take the burden of this very important litigation or to do it justice. The People must take it in hand and support such pub lic servants for office as show a just sense of the public interests above private raous-ings for office. (, 4.1 Alderman Kalbfleisch did not hesitate to expend his part of the public money at Albany at the last Session, and bestowed a part of his precious time while there in procuring an act enabling him to run for Mayor while holding tho office of Alder- man. It is very clear that Alderman Kalbfleisch in his entire devotion to personal and selfish objects has lost much of the elevation he formerly had in this community. 1 1 The West -Thb!

Louis Jiepub-lican (Douglas) correspondent writes from Bedford, Springs a few days ago. The probability is that the writer is not an office holder, as he ventures to speak his mind freely of that degenerate Democratic President who used his utmost endeavors to cheat Slavery into Kansas, and thereby to rob the freemen of this country of the soil dovoted to them and their children forever. Ho says "The President, James Ituchanan, arrived hero, without notice, without honor, like a fun'uiva; hoping, perhaps, lo drown, in copious drafts of these waters and mountain rve, his remortte for his ingratitude towards Mr. Doui-lns and his unavailing treachery towards the Democratic He may hope, also, to remove the bile engendered by the disastrous news from Kentucky and Missouri, lie looks very much broken and care-worn, and the total absence of all popular enthusiasm upon his arrival, signifies but too plainly that his star has set.

Tub JrwciART. One of the most im portant offices to be filled at the approaching election is that of City Judge. The business in this court has gradually increased from year to year as our city has expand ed, until now it has got to be an import ant branch of the Judiciary. The Judge of such a court should lie possessed of some other qualification than the mere legal abil ity to discharge the duties of the position- as important as that is, it is quite as much for the interests of the city that the incumbent shall be a man who understands the history and wants of Brooklyn thoroughly a man who will not prostitute the cilice and eacriiiue -the city to individual interests.

The Washington Star (Breckinridge) says it is well known by many here that Douglas and bis managers are bent on securing Lincoln's election, in the belief that if he be elected the Douglas interest will come up as the regular democratic orgaiiTzation and that Douglas will thus manage to succeed him (Lincoln) in the Presidency. None of them entertained tho least idea that Deuglas can possibly be elected now and they labor to prevent the election from going to tho House of Representatives by any possible chance. Hence their persistent opposition to fusion tickets in Connecticut, Pennsylvania and New Jersey, which states they desiro to secure to Lincoln, beyond peradventure.

They consented ia the proposition to fuse with the Bell interest in New York, because believing it certain that Lincoln can carry that state over any possible combination that may be made against him. are anxious to give Virginia, North Carolina, Maryland and Tennessee to Bell, so as that the Breckinridge cause may apjicar after the election to have been as weak nt the South as at the North, They seek to secure such a result, as one of the means of aiding their scheme of assuming to be the head and front of the democratic party, opposition to the administration of Lincoln, whose election, as explained above, they seek to make sure beyond any possible contingency. The Barhari'sm of Slavery A News Agent Skntenced to Death for Circulating the New York Tbiiiuse. Some time since a very respectable and well-known citizen of St. Louis, named Henry A.

A few "weeks since he received an order at his Camden depot for fifty copies of the New York Trilune. As a matter of business, Marsh undertook to fill the order, and the package arrived in due course of time, while he was absent at Memphis. It having been noised about Camden that the Tribune was about leing circulated, through the medium indirectly, however of Mr.

Marsh, a Committee of three men were nppoiuted to go after Mr. Marsh and bring him back to Camden. Accordingly, they proceeded on tlieir mission, and, one night, captured their unsuspecting victim, in conveyed him on board a steamer, nnd locked him in a state-room. The captain of the boat, on (earning tlieir intention, refused to convey the party, aud they were obliged to convey their captive across the river in a yawl. Arriving in Camden, Mr, Marsh was arraigned on the charge of circulating seditious and incendiary documents, was convicted and sentenced to be hung.

Time was, however, given him to send for his wife, and permission granted him to procure from citizens of St. Louis a certificate of former good character, reiectability, and loyalty.

The building was crowded to its utmost and large crowds were assembled outside, who were unable to obtain admis- mission. seats, and also those on the side of the Wigwam, were occupied by ladies, a goodly number of whom were present.

'As we published synopsis of the same speech, on the occasion of its delivery at the Odeon in Williams-burgh, it is uot necessary to repeat it. Ho was followed by Joe Hoxie, whose speech had also been reported previously, having been given at the Wigwam in South Brooklyn, a few weeks since. Both speakers were loudly applauded throughout, and 'a great deal of enthusiasm was manifested. The Republicans of the State of Maine came in for their share of the enthusiasm, and were cheered and re-cheered to the echo.

We observe that this spirited Club which holds its meetings at the Hotel of Mr. Me- Namara, has just erected a splended transparency bearing tho names of the National and State candidates.

This Club owes its origin to the exertions of a comparatively few prominent and enthusiastic Republicans, and was the first Club, and it is among tho most spirited in the city. 1 It has upon its roll seventy members. 1 Besides this there is another organization in tho Ward. Where is so much honor involved in maintaining tne strengtn anu spirit 01 these Clubs, it is to be hoped that no per sonal questions or considerations, will in terfere witn tneir unity ana tne uispmy their full strength.

And I challenge any one of the democratic Irish orators to meet mo before the people and show that the South will contribute enough to pay this debt, or that the whole fifteen Southern States will pay the City of New York as much as the four Republican States of Michigan, Illinois, Ohio and Indiana. The remarks of Co). Jack were illustrated by a number of amusing anecdotes, and ho avowed his in- mtentiou to do duty from now till November, wherever he was wantexl at any meeting, no matter how small, and in any locality, no matter how poor.

FOR PRISON INSPECTOR, JAMES K. BATES, Or JEFFERSON. Prison Reform. 7 Recent disturbances in several prisons, and the efforts of several philanthropic individuals, have again drawn the' attention of the public to the treatment to which malefactors are subjected in onr penal institutions. If only one-half is true, that is reported of the manner in which criminals are treated and we have no doubt that the whole is true, it is high time that the people should take hold of this subject, and change entirely tho present system in vogue.

In most cases, the inmates of prisons, instead of being treated as human beings having feelings like other men and immortal souls to be saved, they are looked upon and managed somewhat after the plan adopted by the California bear-tamer, in reducing to subjection the animals of the forrcst. The prison therefore, instead of carrying out what it was designed to be a place of reformation and punishment for crimes com mitted, proves to be, as now managed, one of tho most powerful auxiliaries crime. A system of punishment which makes bad men worse, hardens even har dened criminals, and indelibly confirm the novitiate in crime, is radically wrong. this is the effect of the, present system in general use throughout this country, is a fact well established. The testsmony of keepers frequently is given, that while there are constant accessions being made of new criminals, thero -are old comers enough to make the features of body of prisoners as familiar as those of a church congregation to their pastor.

One prisoner a woman at that was sent to Blackwell's Island, last week, for the fifty-second time and here, in our own Penitentiary, the regular comers by far exceed the number of noviciates every year. This frule holds good, we are told, in other prisons throughout the State. The truth is, the whole system of prison discipline should be uprooted modernized. A man convicted of a violation of the laws, is thrust into prison, with as much unconcern for his present or future welfare as though he was not a human being with human passions and weaknesses. For certain hours each day he is compelled to work, and is then thrust, with a scowl from armed men, into a cell, where he broods in silence over his misfortunes.

No books are furnished him to relieve the monotonous No Toice of kindness, with rare exceptions, reach him, and no wonder that when the mind is that Mk to feed npon itself, the man becomes a kin to the His whole nature is turned from its natural channel and be becomes morose, sullen and vicious. Is it surprising that such men occasionally violate prison laws Is it not a greater wonder that men, thus, tarned into demons, do not take life whenever an op- portnnity is offered 1 The system of punishment is brutalizing in the extreme, for it has a tendency to dc-rrade the man his own esteem.

ii i 111 n-'W State, county, and city, and in no part of the State will they be higher than one eighth of one per cent, i i We take the above from a stray paper and beg to make a few remarks on it. In Georgia the whole taxes, (state, county, town, city,) are about twelve cents in a hundred dollars, while'our city and county taxes alone are about twelve times more. In Georgia the whole taxes are about thirty cents per heaJ, in our city and county alone they are -about four dollars per bead-Georgia has a few hundred thousand dollars state debts, ours are towards forty millions. Georgia has no public paupers, in our State every seventeenth man is a pauper. How is that By what necromancy.

not to say ncgroraancy or witchcraft, for wisdom will not do, because we positively are very wise people, by what art unknown to us, we ask, has this state reached such a high degree of perfection This is a most important object for serious investigation in political meetings and debating clubs. We would advise our young wide awake citizens to earnestly look at the extract we give above, and to make up their mind to study the Georgian art of governing society, aud the laws and institutions of this State and compare them with our own. We would think it good policy not to spend their money in nigger clubs and meetings but in a trip in Cromwell's excellent line to Savannah to study this art of governing, just as we did once, and as the ancient Romans traveled to Greece for the same pur- nose. We hope they will, among other ex- ccedingly wise and good things, find out the truth of the saying of old Dean Swift, that party as it is, is the madness of the many for the benefit of the few, and that it is one of the most degrading vices in our State and adjacent States, to indulge in calum nies against our fellow citizens South, who, as we see, are so far advanced in the num. ngement of their public affairs, compared with ours.

There is no Slate in the North which is governed with such splendid results as Georgia. We hope the census will hed still more light upon this most interesting subject, especially in regard to the increase or decrease of exorbitant taxes, public debts, and almost general pauperism tlia result of misgoverning in the North. This wretched state of the public affairs in most 01 our Northern states has induced sensible men like Theodore Parker to con sider monarchy the better system. English statesmen, who too often do not see tho beam in their own eyes a pardonable, general weakness of poor humanity upbraid us in Parliament tho source of immense State debts, taxes and pauperism for our shortcomings. They too should come and study Georgia government.

Now we ask, is it this perfection, this model of government which excites in Hon. W. H. Seward morbid jealousy against our Southern confederates so that he even can forget his sworn duty and his dignity as a Senator of this empire, and travel around and denounce them as the sum of nil iniquity before the world? By your fruits you will be known. The government of the State of New York, so long under direct and indirect management of Mr, Seward, must be put down as a total failure.

I am sorry that it is so; but as long as other sister States are models we must not doojwir, and harry on with making princes auu aiuys 1 xuosc win not tree us of exorbitant taxes, debts and pauperism MENDON. rooHHUmcATKD. Crrr Judge Benjamin F. This nominee of one of the nomination branches of the Democracy, maybe in all respects proter. We know nothing to the coptrary we are told that he is a lawyer of fyrty-five years of age and yet, it is strange we think, that he is not known to a single lawyer of this city, as we are assured is the fact.

All the information we have we gather from tho hatile. From the bio- graphical account of the nominee in yes terday isssuc, we take tne toiiowing. xt affords ns all the knowlcdgo we have of Mr. Sawyer "Mr. Sawyer, the nominee for City Judge, is officially connected with the Breckinridge Committee.

We believe he is rather a recent acquisition to Brooklyn, not being very long a resident ot tne city, ne is, nowever, a respectable lawyer, and as Brooklyn is anxious to attract population we know of no better method to encourage that object than that lately adopted by our political parties of nominating gentlemen of thiss class to office. It will be sure to attract a large emigration of gentlemen ambitious ot hguring in public lue and enjoying the sweets 01 omce. Memnon.

The City of Washington' mails contain some interesting details of Garibaldi's invasion of Calabria, and of the success that has so far attended his movements. The C'alaliriaus are in revolt, and the spirit of in surrection has reached the capital.
