This is assuredly most remarkable state of things
Whether We consider the important and instant nature
Of Lcir functions or reflect upon the audable public
spirit that prompts these gentlemen to perform the
useful and necessary service that devolves upon them
We are alike struck with surprise in view ct It, And
we do not see but Judge Ingraham must bear the
blame of taking most unwarrantable Liberties with
these useful public servants Ii they were pad SER
wants there might be found a measurable excuse Tor
sucb treatment for the right kick and cuff all such
is part OF the gospel OF many people BUT these men
are wholly unrcmunented. They do a most neces-
sary and dsagreeabe public duty gratuitously lhey
work for nothing and find themselves. We modestly
submit under these circumstances. that the bufetng
they have experienced At the hands of the learned
Judge referred TO- is rather cr0wding the m0urnerS
We desire to ask Judge Ingraham what he would
have the Commissioners of Emigration ito THIS
Board exists by law. Its duties are in this City The
Board must therefore, have office in the City OF
New-York. If the Commissioners cannot be allowed
to have one in Frankn-st., nor in Canal-st., VIII

II has been suggested that the Commissioners
adjourn their sessions Judge Ingrahams chambers
till he shall decide the question, or at least till he
shall give them hearing on the injunctons he has
issued Our Commissioners good-naured men, as
well as philanthropic men, otherwise we might we'll
apprehend that they would throw down their Offices
in disgust at having Judge Ingraham to slam the
door in their faces whenever they show themselves
One must chartably suppose that the Judge totally
forgets the responsible position OF the COMMISSIONER
the character of the men, the duties they perform
and the circumstances which demand their active and
constant services, or he would not be SO ready to
nerpose obstacles the discharge OF their urgent and
imperative functions The interests to their
charge are vast and the OF their offices neyta
be- Ii is no holiday work TO attend TO the pressing
needs of three thousand foreign paupers, which
as we have before said is the average number in the
constant charge of the Commissioners of Emigration
The mass OF suffering and desttution which constantly
crowds upon them and compels their earnest atten
ton and calls for their vigorous exerOns, is not
thing which can be kept utterly out of view in great
/ CITY like this The sight of suffering may be dsa
preeabe but must be seen before be relieved
The Office OF the Commissioners of Emigration Is to
remove all such from the City that legtimately

The COMMISSIONERS keep neither boarding houses nor
aims houses nor lunatic asylums, their premises;
whether they be in Franklin Chambers, or Canal
st. Neither the Commissioners in their per-

are the amOners of large and benefcent charity men
