VIEW YORK COMMON COUNCIL.
There was o debate on Monday evening last, on Ii


following resolution
Resolved That the Commissioner Of Repairs and Sup
plies report to this board the amount already expended
since the first Of January 1882 for the organization Of
new fire companies also, what amount will be required
10 purchase ground build houses purchase hose, build
engines, &c. Tor the new fire companies recently Or
ganzed.
Alderman DEEMAN, on offering the above resolu-
ton, read an article from the Ftremens Journal,
charging the Common Council with having expended
nearly the entire annual appropriation for the Fire
department, IN the snort space OF fourteen weeks, for
the purpose OF creating lire companies enough to re-
move Alfred Carson from office Nv object in Of
ferng the resolution is to ascertain il the charge of
the Fireneas Journal is true; and if true, he would
not only have the Fire Department but the whole
city, know it, that the tax payers might brand all
those instrumental in such unheard of extravaganza.
with condemnation.
At this period Of Alderman Denmans remark,
Aldermen Smith, Tweed and Peck called the gen.
tleman to order, and Alderman Denman was direct
ed to take his seat by the President Of the Board;
whereupon Alderman Denman protested against the
attack made upon his rights and privileges as
member Of the Board, while (by precedence and in
order) in possession Of the floor upon which
Alderman TWEED remarked that the FGeniet's
Journal had taken particular pains to abuse him.
remarking at the same time TINT the reputation of
the Fir,msnS .jonrndtwas such that il could do him
no harm, in which Alderman Smith concurred.
Alderman DENMAN again got the floor, aud was
about to read further extracts from the Journal, to
whieh Aldermen Tweed, Smith, Ward, Peek, and
others objected; when
Alderman STURrgvASr and insisted upon
the right of Alderman Denman to quote read
from any paper document he pleased to set forth
his reasons for offering that any other resolu-
tion-whereupon, Alderman Donulaas resolution
was carried to the President by the Sergeant-at
Arms-when Alderman Dennan permitted to
proceed with his remarks, saying that it was not
his intention to affct wound the feelings of
members, and he was sorry that gentlemen had 50
understood the matter, and that he would not further
read the article in the Fuemta's .jonnal, but
state the fact that there rimor abroad that
in the short space Of fourteen weeks, the whole,
nearly all, the Fire Department appropriation had
been expended; which he, as member Of the
Board, not prepared to believe, and was, there
fore, anxious that such report should be officially
cOntradicted; and he knew of better way to get
Mt such contradiction than TO call upon the head Of
the department for information.
Whereupon, the resolution Of Alderman DeAman
was unanimously adopted.

lpterest ding Incidents la the life of Ger. Scott,
N ne Editor Of The ~. Y. Tribune:

In fridays Tribune L find a graphic
description Of the entrance OF Gen. Scott into
Mexico, coDqueror, at the head of his victorious
army, and his subsf quent departure from that
city. a prisoner at large. The circumstances re-
minded me Of another point in the Generals
csreer-his arrival at home from Mexico; and
an impelIed to give you my recolections OF it, as
further Characteristic Of that great aud good man.
The steamfr whi h brought Gen. Scott and
staff from Vera Cruz to New-York, arrived at
Quarantine on a Sunday, and without waiting
Tor the noisy demonstI alton Of welcome which his
arrival would essuredly have called forth on the
morrow, the General quietly dsembarked in
small boat at Staten Island, crossed over to the
landing opposite EIizabetbpoTt, was ferried over
alone and, pressing an old No an and his horse and
wagon into his servlce, was conveyed TO Elizabeth
tswp, his home residence for many years past.
Finding that he would reach the village in the
midst Of the afternoon service, he directed his
way to the little Episcopal Church, where he had
been wont to attend religious worship in peaceful
days. You may imsgtGe the surprise Of the
audience and the Pistor, on beholdng the Con-
uueror Of Mexico quietly taking his seat in his
accustomed place, and joining ia the prayers, that
were in the act of being offered TO the Most II gh,
Tor mercy upon all those "exposed to peril by
land and by sea-" To say that unusual feeling was
exhibited in the voices Of the beseeching people,
and Inspiration in the exhOrations Of the priest,
is less than the truth; and the earnest desire Of
pastor and Pensioners to em1roce their beloved
friend and neghbor, it is no dlsparsgement to them
10 say did not increase the length Of the sermon,
il IL did not reduce the itrvsncy of the prayers and
praise.
There he stood with the dust Of travel on his
garments, in the simple fatigue dress Of an Amer
lean officer amids, that little band of Christian
worshippers, presenting his alteration at the
Throne Of Grace, or kueeng with the simplest,
and with responsive voice svincing his gratitude
to Goo for his mcrcy-as sincere and humble there
as be was brave, commanding and intlexible on
the battle field or at the Council Board. Most
truly YOU describe this illIstriOus man, as one OF
the pure ct and sorthirst of citizens. They know
him but in part, VINO know him only as the heroic
soldier, ever victorious, chivalric, humane; his
character as u man and citizen, is indeed and in
truth, unsurpassed and unimpeachabe.
Can it be that this natural born leader, the
wise, the self denying hero, the incorruptible
patriot is not to become ths chosen ruler Of this
great Na,onl If not, the remorse experienced
for the iIl-requited, ever glorious Clay, were sght
in comparison to what we shall endure, if we suf
fer Winfield Scott to be beaten by the feeble man
his adyersaries have raised up to oppose him.
