EXCERPTS FROM THE NEW YORK COT
RIER AND ENQUIRER.

If Colonel Webb's political associates in Con-
gress complain of the gentle hints of the Madi-
sonan respecting their factious motives what
will they say to this "backing of their friend 2"
The Colonel (of the regular army abiding to
the assertions of members, that officers and
soldiers can be made in day, says:
awe do not believe they entertain any such opin-
ions and yet from their official conduct, such the
fair inference and if the public should unite in pro-
nouncng them set of fools, they have nobody to
blame but themselves. But the truth is, that there
is something worse than folly in all this proceeding.
There is a selfshness and wickedness about it,
which calls for prompt condemnation by all parties
and all presses"
This PAROLES will have the impudence next
to call them the "Piesident's FOOLS" Let him
beware of "a plot"
Hear the revelations of this valiant blindfold-
ed prisoner:
g Here we have Congress boldly striking at the
most necessary and cherished institutions of the
country, under the plea of economy, while the very
last subject of retrenchment which occurs to them
is their own expenses. They squander hundreds of
| thousands upon themselves in the way of pay and
emoluments for doing nothing and yet seek to re
trench public expenditures by enacting that although
they will not appoint as many Captains and Leute-
nants in the Navy as the wants of the country de-
mand, those who called upon to perform duties
not pertaining to their stations, shall not be paid for
such duties. This is spirit of Heness utterly
becoming an American Congress. 1t is dsgraceful to
all concerned and cannot fail to recoil with just Sc
verify upon those who for moment put forth or
sustain such legislation. Why the extra mileage
alone which Congress annually pockets would pay
ten times over the whole amount of the payments
made to officers of the Navy for services rendered in
grade higher than that to which they belong; yet
no one of these sage and economical Congressman
ever thinks of retrenchment there. The average
expense of travelling hundred miles in our country
is less than five dollars and yet every member of
Congress very promptly and cheerfuly votes to pay
himself FORTY DOLLARS for every hundred miles ira
yelled They unwilling to save hundreds of thou
sands in this item, because they would themselves
be the sufferers while they very cheerfuly agree to
save some i've or ten thousand dollars per by
refusing to give lieutenant the pay and emoluments
of captain, when compelled to perform the duties
and incur the expenses of the additional rank.'

The editor of the Independent is informed that
we do not endorse the charge madeby our Phila-
delphia correspondent against his sheet. We
learned that several letters had been inserted in
the Independent, written in Philadelphia, excori-
ating the Philadelphia Inquirer, the North Ameri-
can, if we mistake not, and number Of indi-
viduals. These communications provoked our
correspondent to reply. Knowing nothing of
the facts involved, pro or con, we were unwi-
ling TO publish any statement in the premises
without being furnished with the name of the
writer. This was given. The following words
will be found in the last sentence of the COM
munication we published II leave my name
with YOU" We have the name, and Mr.. John
son shall have it if he concludes to ask for it.
Talking about prosecutions: John had better look out
for squalls: We mean to consult our lawyer about
prosecuting him, for calling Mr.. McCarty rascal
Phil Gazette.
We will retract the word rascal and insert Mr..
Clays pu1 py, McCarty
McCary having dubbed lass" we presume we
will be justified in braying him, his lawyer, and all
concerned with them, out of court.

Annual Report of the Commissioners of Charitable
Institutions in the First Senatorial District Of the
State Of New York.
Through the kindness of one of the commission
ers we are enabled TO lay before our readers the
following brief report We intend before long 10
examine, rather more lnlnutcy than the commits
soners appear to have done, the past management
of the City Hospital, and therefore waive at present
any remarks on the subject
THE HONORABLE TINS SENATE AND uorsr or ASSEMBLY
nate under The Act Of Nav IA is,S to snuersse the diff

respectfully
REPORTS: ....
The great Importance OF the various public hosrras
and charitable which receiving the fosc-
ring of the Legislature Of the state OF New YORK
is acknowledged by every and must De source oil
high qualification the representatives OF the people, to
find that the liberal endow bestowed upon these pub:
lie charities have been expended in way best calculated
10 promote the benevolent intentions Of the Legislature
We therefore feel great pleasure on this eaon In INV
ting the attention Of honorable body to the present
condition Of the institutions placed under the
supervision Of the commissioners.
The New York Hospital, which has now been incorpo
rated for than half century continues TO merit the
high reputation has always enjoyed for the extent OF its
usefulness and the ability aud wisdom manifested in the
administration Of its affairs. This institution is under the
management Of twcnty-six Governors, selected from
among most distinguished citizens, who give Their
time and services gratuitousy All the subordinate APP
pontments made by them and are under their immc
date supervision and control The physicians and sur
gcons ing charge Of the medical and surgical patients
gentlemen distinguished for their ability and high
standing in the profession Their services grautous
They perform with great fidelity the important duties com
mitted TO their care.
Since our last annual report the Governors Of the New
York Hospital have completed the edifce wing
connected with that institution. The building is con
struced Of the best materials and appears well adapted in
the arrangement Of the different apartments for the pur
pose Of public hospital We believe il is the intention Of
the Governors 10 appropriate part OF this building cxclu
svely for the accommodation OF patients from among our
own citizens as well as strangers from abroad who are
and who would much prefer the Recommendations Of such
an institution to any they could obtain in private dwell
lings or public hospitals. This building Will also
afford better opportunity than has heretofore existed oI

REORGANIZATION OF THE CoURr OF SESSIONS.
From the appearance Of things in Albany, the pre-

the Court Of Sessions will be placed upon its an.
cent footing. In such a case, our special friends,
Judges Noah and Lynch, will 60 out with the re-
peal Of the law-and as our democratic friends can
sometimes do generous act let them be paid their
