UNJUsT.-When the notorious Cadwallader
Evans alias the Doctor, was first arrested in our
city on peace warrant, officer Warrington was in
formed By friend, of Evans having committed
forgery in Philadelphia eiegraphed to the chief of
the Philadelphia Police to learn the truth of the
statement was informed that it was true, and re-
ques,ed to arrest Evans by the Mayor of Phiadel-
phia. Mr. Twitchell, the persen whose name was
forged, aud who had offered 500 reward for the
capture of the torger, came on here in person and
ident fed Evans as the forger, and then promised
officer Y the reward, saying that he was justly en-
titled to the whole of it, Since that time, notwith
standing oticer has offered to share fairly his re-
ward with the officers who conveyed Evans to
Philadelphia he has not touched dollar OF it.
Now this treatment of member OF our police
who was fairly entitled to the whole reward, we
consider as grossly unjust. 1t is a welknown fact
that the authorities and citizens of city have al
ways paid promptly and fully all claims OF reward
made upon them, and why our police should be
treated in so contemptuous and unworthy man
ner in the case OF this reward, we cannot conceive

my oft repeated question, she informed me
that the only grounds she knew of for such d

Monday, January IL,


Present: Messrs. Dove Bayly, Wilson, Tow
ers, Borrows, Sweeny, Maury, French, Presi-
dent,) Writ, Thornley, Gordon, Morgan, and

The CHAIR laid before the Board the following
communication from the Mayor:
MAYORS OFFICE, January IL, 1852.
BOARD OF Administration deem it
proper to invite your earnest and immediate at
tenton to the destitute and suffering condition of
many of the unfortunate poor in our city In
addition to that portion of our own permanent
population who require aid during this most unu-
sual and severe spell of weather, there is also a
large number of day laborers, who, with their
families have been lately drawn to our city by
the prospect of steady employment and are now
suffering for want of fuel and the necessaries of
life. Many cases of absolute restitution have
been reported to me by respectable citizens, sus-
tanned only by the uncertain relief Of private
charity The applications made to this office are
numerous and pressing, and in many instances
known TO me to spring from the necessities OF
mertorous poverty. therefore beg leave to
recommend an appropriation of five hundred dol
lars to be expended in the purchase of fuel and
provisions, to be distributed in such manner as
to the Council may seem best Respectfully,
WALTER LENOX, Mayor.
Which communication having having beenread,
| Mr.. TOWERS, on leave, introduced q bill en-
was read three times, and passed.

Riordan, asking that certain taxes may be re-
funded to him; which was referred to the Com

Sengtack and others, in relation to the paving of
| the alley in square No. 293; which was referred
| to the Committee on improvements
| Mr.. DOVE from the Committee on Claims, asked
to be discharged from the further consideration
of the petition Of Arthur. Wise; and they were
| discharged accordingly.
| The bill from the Board of Common Council
| entitled 'sAn act for building cess-pools in the
Seventh Ward, and for other purposes" was taken
up, read twice. and referred to the Committee on
Wharves
On motion of Mr. MAURY, the Board resumed

An abstract of the neio laao Of
Louis Napoleon for the reg
aiation Of The press Of
France.
The press Of Paris is to be
regulated by a new law,
which win repeal all existing
laws on the subject, and OF
which the following are said
to be the most important
clauses:
Every editor Of a journal
Mt present in existence, or to
be published in future, will
be bound to deposite securi-
ty money to the amount Of
100000, (fS, 000,) which, in
case of conviction, may be
increased to 100000.
The executive power will
reserve to itself the right to
suspend the publication OF
any journal Of which the sus-
pension may appear necessa-
ny.
Offences of the press are no
longer to be submitted to a
jury. Special tribunals are
to be constituted for that
purpose.
Offences of the press are to
be classed in three catego-
. ries:
LIST. An attack on the Pre-
sident and on the principles
of the government.
I'd. Exciting hatred among
citizens.
Sd. An attack on religion,
family, or property.
Each of these offences may
be punished by imprisonment
of five years, by transporta-
ton for twenty years, and by
u fine of from 5,000f. to 100,-
000f.

ence to the Mexican indemnity, for which an APP
preparation is now pending in Congress, and to
deter them by threat of prosecution under the
said act of Both January, 1899, from comment
ing on, or exposing the conduct of the Secretary
OF State in reference to that indemnity, the Te-
huantepec treaty, and other matters bearing on
our relations with Mexico.
Your memorialists are under no apprehension
that any attempt win be made to put this threat
in execution against them They know their
rights and what they are about--are ready to
answer for their conduct, and invite inyestiga-
ton This assumption of authority by the De-
partment of State to prepare the editorials of the
metropolitan press does indeed indicate re-
markable progress towards centralized power and
despotism; but your memorialsts feel well
assured that the public opinion of this country is
not yet prepared to see the liberty of speech and
of the press, or the rights of any American citi-
zen, crushed by such act of tyranny.
Your memorialists further represent, that the
said act of the Both January, 1893, is one of the
most odious, obsolete enactments of the times Of
the alien and sedition laws; and that the attempt
of the Secretary of State to revive it, for the
purpose of sitting inquiry or comment upon his
conduct, calls for some action by Congress on the
subject. Your memorialists subjoin, in parallel
columns

Daily American telegraph., 1852-01-14

Your memoralists further represent, that the
said act of 30th January 1893, has remained till
now stain upon the statute-book of this coun-
try - harmless and forgotten only because no
one was supposed bold enough to threaten, much
less attempt to enforce it, But comparison of
this proclamation of the Secretary of State
with Louis Napoleon regulations for censorship
of the press shows that the former has the ,ciA,
and only wants the poacer, to muzze the press in
this country, as the latter has done in France.
AS yet there is no danger. But if, after this at
tempt to revive that law, for the purpose Of sup
pressing comment on the acts of the State Depart
ment, Congress should permit it to remain with
out modification, it may enable future Secretary
of State to sacrifice the rights and interests of one
citizen to his corrupt Partially for another, to
engage in the most reasonable designs against
the people and government of the United States,
and to stife all opposition by threatening to fine
and imprison any who dare inquire into or COM
ment upon his acts. The great interests of the
country, the rights of the individual citizens, the
liberty of speech and of the press will be at the
mercy of corrupt Executive.
Your memorialists are, therefore, gratifed at
the occasion which makes it proper for them to
call this odious remnant of the alien and sediton
laws to the attention of the representatives of
the people, on whom rests the responsibility of
permitting it to remain as an instrument of
executive tyranny and disgrace to the legisla-
ton. of free people, and they therefore pray a
repeal or modification of the said act of Both
January, 1899, as to the wisdom of Congress
may seem fit
And, as in duty bound, your memorialists will
ever pray. DUFF GREEN,
