O1ruyus LIcxNsxs-Cullous CnARsxs Am Plo- |
cxxDnss.-For some time past, We have heard, In
great many quarters, whisperings concerning some
curious work which it was represented had been
done in the City Hall during the latter part OF Mr.
Woodhulls administration, and which reflected on
the official conduct and integrity Of persons whom
IL is not necessary to name at present The charges
were SO grave that we thought IL impossible they
could be true, and we therefore declined to express
our opinion in the matter, or, in fact, to refer to
the subject at all in our editorial columns. These
charges referred to the manner in which certain
omnibus licenses were obtained from the late
Mayor, the influences that were brought 10 bear
upon certain parties, and the pecun airy operations
which grew out of the transfer of the licenses;
and if truly reported they would develope as gross
piece of corruption as was ever heard of in New
York. The whole subject was referred to COM
mittee of the Board of Aldermen short time since,
en- the petition of William Tyson, who asserted
that Mr. James T. Berthe obtained permission to
four lines of stages and that he had disposed Of
some of them for as much as seventeen thousand
dollars. The committee made report on
Wednesday evening last, which is very imper-
feet, in consequence of their not having power to
compel the attendance of the party who is princ-
mendsd the Board to apply to the Legislature for
authe ity to send for persons and papers, so that
the truth shall be arrived at The witnesses who
consented to be examined in an indirect way, i'm
pcate the late Mayors clerk, slightly; but it is
due to that gentleman to say that he solicts in
vestgation into his conduct
We trust that this whole matter will be probed
to the bottom and that the Legislature will confer
the necessary power on the Common Council to
summon all persons before them who il is sup
posed can give information on the subjec.. Ii is
due the late Mayor and his clerk-it is due to the
public and to the dignity of the city government
that these charges, if false, should be disproved.
Ex-Mayor Woodruff should himself demand a
thorough and searching investigation into the
manner in which these omnibus licences were OBJ
tanned, 30 that he might show to his fellow cit-
zens the motives and the reasons which governed
his action in the premises. Let an examination
be entered into at once. Il might be well for some
of our city delegates in the Legislature TO move
that body at once, for the necessary power to COM
pei the attendance OF witnesses, so that the COM
miltee Of the Common Council can be taking tes-
timony during the recess, and be in position 10
make report in the month of May next, to which
time the Common Council have adjourned.

were divided. On the thirty-sixth ballot, the cleo
non was effected BY Mr.. Morris, Of Vermont, re-
firing from the House, and the vote Of the State
was given by Matthew Lyon, for Jefferson; the
four federalists from Maryland gave blank votes
and the State was counted for Jefferson, making,
with Vermont, ten States for Jefferson, and elect
ing him. Mr.. Bayard, of Delaware, and the
federalists from South Carolina, put in blank votes
and the four other federal States voted, oefose
for Burr. Thus was the election of Mr.. Jefferson
carried, at last, by blank votes, and might well have
been disputed, had there been an arbiter, and had
the federalists been 80 dsposed for, it will be OBJ.
served, he never received the votes of a majority
/ OF the members from nine States, as required by
the constitution. His election was, therefore, a
matter rather of tacit consent than Of strict le-
gality, in point of form, and he seemed to con.
slider it, he expressed great feeling in his letters
that no one of the federalists would finally vote
for him, and he received not one vote more on the
thirty. sixth and final ballot, than had been given
him on the first ballot, viz; 81 votes.
