THE HERALD REroRrs AND THE COMMON Cow
Gil 1T will be seen by reference to our report Of
the proceedings Of the Common Coun cil that they
are coming to their in reference to the pro-
per place for the publication of their procee iings.
They are paying several papers Of email circulation
for printing their proceedings, and they find that
notwithstanding this encouragement, the official
papers do not give them full reports Of their pro-
cesdings as does the Herald, which gets no pay,
and asks no favors. 1t tells well for the Board of
Assistants good sense, that they appreciate this
fact Assistant Alderman Webb declared, last
evening, that the Hcrod was to be found every
where; and Assistant Alderman Smith stated, that
even every man who objected TO the HraLd, car
ned one in his hat with him, as he went to his
business in the morning. They have got the righ,
end Of the story now, and we have no doubt they
will pursue it TO proper termination.

SovE CAROLINA FREE NEGRO LAws.-We give,
In another column, a copy Of some very interesting
correspondence that has recently passed between
the British Consul at Columbia, South Carolina,
and the Governor Of thar State, reference the
law directing that free negroes arriving in that
State in commercial vessels, shall be kept in con-
fineRent until the ships departure. The cores
pcndence has been referred TO lne Legislature; bur
We have not heard hat any action has vet been
taken upon il.
The laws of South Carolina are very strict in
reference TO tree negroes arriving there. Il was
found necessary 10 make them go, in conse luence
Of free negroes having tamTered with the slaves on
many occasions, and having induced them 70
escape 10 the North. They were Dot intended, we
presume, 10 Apply TO any but free negroes of the
North arriving in the porte of South Carolina in
Northern ves-eis and Ii. .aw would no, ba ye beeu
was no necessity for it. The COM
plants of the British Consul are couched in such
language, and conceived in such spirit, that are
sure they will be respectfully listened to, and some
arrangement made by which the representative Of
Great Britain will be satisfied. II will be recol-
lected, however, that during the excitement in Ire
land, year or two since, the British government
directed its agents arrest every American in that
country, lest they should tamper with the malcon
tent portion of the people, assist them in accom-
plishing ther projected revolution IL Is the same
spirit OF selfpreservation which dictated the pas
sage of the laws of South Carolina in reference to
free negroes. We suppose, however, that some
satisfactory arrangement will be entered into.

MAYOR KIyGsLANB AND THE CHIEF or PoLicE.-
IL is now nearly two weeks since the Inauguration
Of Mr. Kingsland TO the chief magistracy OF this
city, and as yet no nomination has been made by
In Of Chief OF Police. BY law, and sir'-
Office. -. .a".. a. empowered 10 nomIr.: man
70 serve as Chief Oh Police during his term OF
Office, which appointment extends to thirty days
thereafter, thereby giving the choice of chief to
The newly elected Mayor
In large city like New York, with such mixed
population, much depends-may we not say all de-
pends lon well regulated and efficient police,
that rogues may be made to feel the authority of
the law, ana al the same time good order be pre-
served and the lives and property of the well mean
ing portion ofthe community protected. Several per-
@ons have been mentioned candidates for this
Office, of whom the most prominent are Mr.. Mat
cell the prest nj incumbent, Mr. Stewart, the Clerk
az the Police, and ex-Justice Meuitt-any one OF
whom, we should think, would make good chief
II is of the utmost importance, that if Mt Kings
lend should determine upon any change, he should
appoint man to fill he Office Of Chief Of Police,
not on political grounds, but on the bais of compe-
seney, knowledge and experltn nee. IL is not enough
that the incumbent should b. a man OF honor and
integrity. He must be familiar with rogues, know
them by sight, and be acquainted with the haunts
and practices of the great criminals Of the country.
A man Of experience among criminals can, al a
glance, give a good guess az to who committed a
osrglary by the manner in which Il : done. Hit
is done in bungling way, such an accomplished
workman as Br.tol Bill, for instance, would never
be thought Of. II 1t was not done in "workman-
like manner" negro or some green hand would
be set down. The haunis of such characters
would then be visited, and any Of them who aP-
reared to have more funds than usual, would be
Immediately arrested. II il were done scientfcal-
w, Brs.ol Bill, were be at large, wouli be imme-
diately suspected. In many cases crime u disco
vered in this manner and by these means. We
mention his TO show how important IL Is that the
Chief Of Police should be man OF great eKpe-
Renee and ould be acquainted with all the bar
glars and other criminals in the country, keep
rack OF them, and know where to pounce upon
them. Under the present police system, burglary
has sens,bly diminished in New York. But IL
would rapidly increase again, II the Office Of the
Chief Of Police were to be filled by person with
out the necessary qualifications and experience.
We trust, therefore, that If Mr.. Kingsland deter
-~saes upon a change, he vii not make one Tor the
worse.

If the proceedings of Congress yesterday arc a
criterion of what that august body Of legislators
intend 10 do dunng the present session, We should
cav that there is much prospect of the important
busness low awaiting legislation being disposed OF
before the adjournment II is 10 be hoped, how
ever, that this hide and 60 seek amusement will
not be INDUCED in much longer. There are some
thirty six working days yet left, and if members
will only devote their ttention to the business
before them, they will be able TO get through with
abe whole of it easily. They cannot expect to do
so, however, if they waste their time as they did
yesterday.
The most important business in the Senate yes
terday was the reference of the Postage Reform
BILL recently passed by the House, TO the appropr-
ate committee. The eternal French Spoliaton bill
occupied great portion Of the day. Mr.. Clay in
troduced resolution nstructing the Committee on
Commerce to inquire into the exredency of further
legislation, so as to prevent The employment of
American vessels and American seamen in the
African slave trace In the House, nothing worth
referring 10 was done.
We perceive that the Legislature of Pennsyiva-
MIA wish Congress to adopt the money order sys-
ZEN of the English post Office. That system works
well in Engand, according TO all accounts; aud,
from what we have heard of it, We have no dodst
that il could be very advantageously incorporated
into the postage bill which recently passed the
House of Representatives. Il is no more nor less
than this--that by depositng any sum of money in
any post Office, the depositer will receive certiii-
cate Of deposit, payable by any deputy postmaster
throughout the country. 1t might very properly
n introduced into the United States, and would,
