RvtR OIABLo SAN BIAS, June 20, lS49.
SIR; Tins IL TO inform you that the chief Of San

ask for land to make a road or for any other pur-
poses The chiefs Of San Bias claim AS their land
from Cooavery TO the Gulf Of Darien. God gave
us the land, and no foreigners can live among us;
for fnny live here they will trouble our women, and
we shall be jealous Of lhem and soon there would
be disturbance and bloodshed for God made all
nations their own women, and not to trouble ours
We are glad TO see all trading ships as friends, and
we will buy their goods with our produce. Any
friendly vessel can trade with us, but not make any
of us traitors Your nation have their road across
the isthmus at Chagres and must not make a road
through our country. We want no steamers to
visit our country unless in want Of wood and water;
80 do not destroy this letter, and please send 10 us

most conclude the feasibility Of the plan to be
fixed fact This is the result of the inquiries eluci

Our CIV Charter.

Without having before us the Amended City
Charter which the Legislature is about to act upon
dsfnitivcly we believe that 1t embodies many de
cided improvements on the existing Charter, and
that the general sense OF our people is IN favor
Of its adoption In this we may be mistaken, but
ct oil events we cannot be mistaken IN assuming
that an early disposition of the question at Albany
10 exceedingly desirable. Let us have the Charter
before people in season for its thorough con
alteration and discussion preliminary TO the ensu'
ing Charter Election. now barely month distant
The last attempt to amend the Charter failed in
good part through popular Ignorance OF the changes
proposed. Let the present attempt have fair
chance, and If it ails We may as well give 1t up
OarCharter could hardly be more radically vicious
than il 10, and we believe the proposed amendments
wall make it, not perfect but much better. But
people will not vote for what they do not under
stand, and every days delay OF its passage at Al
bany 10 serious dciriment to the cause OF Reform
Let IL have fair chance.

bill was lately submitted TO our State SENATE
by Mr.. JOHNSON Of this City providing for the ia
ture government and management Of our Cit,
Charitable aud Disciplinary Institutions, which
seems to US one of the best measures which ever
came hither from Albany. II creates Board Of
ten Governors, who shall have entire control
hencsforth Of the City Prison, PeDitentary, Bride
well. Aims House, Outdoor Poor, Lunatic Asy-
lum, Nurseries, DC. &c. to appoint and remove all
officers, define their respective powers and duties
fix their salaries, indenture the City children, &c.
&C. making full report OF their proceedings annu-
ally to the Legislature and Common Council.
which latter body is empowered TO visit and in
spect the Institutions at all times, and may inn
peach any OF the Governors or their subordinates
before the Supreme Court, which Court is empow
cred to remove them for due cause.
Richard 8. Williams, James J. Roosevelt,
Charles II. Marshall w. c. II. Waddell, Rensse-
laer N. Ravens, John J. Cisco, Ambrose c. Kings
land, Thomas T. Woodruff, Jacob Harsen and
Andrew II. Mickle, five OF each psrty,) are sp-
pointed the first Governors two of them to go GU,
each year, and their places to be supplied by pop
ufar election, every citizen voting for only
and the two highest to be elected, loi course eacl
party choosing one.)
The sole and simple design of this act is the re-
demption of these institutions from all political
or partisan control, and from the fluctuations and
agitstions consequent thereon. Under such a
Board good officers will naturally be kept in aud
bad ones put out, no matter whether they hurrah
for Cass or Taylor. And it is probability amount
ing to moral certainty that. under such a system,
prisoners win not be pardoned out nor smuggled
of In order to use their votes at pending election.
The bill passed the Senate with little or no OPP
position, and would probably have passed the
House with like unsnimity when 10 we hear
Of Committee Of Aldermen on their winding way
to Albany to induce the Assembly to defeat this
measure, How commissioned, by what motives
impelled and from what fund subsisted this de-
poncnt saith not bat one of two things seems to
rs very clear: Either this City should stop send
ing Representatives to Congress and the Legisla
ture, or it should stop paying Tor the journeys o
Common Councilman thither TO assist and direct
them. II these Committees are essential, tho cost
OF the puppets they are expected to move should
be dispensed with, leaving our City's interests al
Warrington and Albany to the exclusive watch
and ward of her vigilant Municipal guardians
whose business appears to be done up so far
ahead that they have plenty of leisure for every
body's else.
