The Wing continues to hammer away at its effor,
to hold tho Democrats in Congress responsible for the
non-organizaon Of the House. 1t lays great strcss
upon the assumption that, had all the Democratic
members voted for the resolution declaring Mr.. Smith
OF Virginia, Speaker, the House would have been or
ganized by his election The following facts set forth
by the Union, demonstrate that such result could
not have been effected, and that nothing but TRICK
was intended

Speaker of the House, offered on Monday last, re-
ceved forty.seven votes, including mos of the South

TuR NEW CITY CHARTER.

On Saturday Mr. Brooks reported to the Senate
bill for amending, or rather recOnstructng the
Charter of New.York City. We are informed
that the bill has the approval Of nearly all the city
delegation and has fair prospect Of being passed
II il substantially the same as the Charter re-
ported 10 the Board OF COuncilmen early last
month and published in THE TRIBUNE at the
time. the Only material change being the extension
Ofthe Mayors term Of Office to three years. The
CHEF improvements on the present Charter are tie
abolition of the uDwieldy Board Of COuncilmen
AID The restoration Of the Assistant Aldermen; the
appointment of Heads OF Departments BY the
Mayor; the return Of the charter election to April,
and b placing Of the annual appropriation bus
under the power Of the Common Council instead
of going to the Legislature for special laws. The
Executive Council, comprising the Heads OF De-
partments is a new feature. This Council is COM
posed of six members beside the Mayor, namely:
the Controller Corporation Counsel, President OF
the Croton Board, Street Commissioner, Commits
sioner of Repairs and Supplies, and City Inspector
These officers are appointed by the Mayor and
Aldermen, and will therefore be under the immedi-
att control OF the Chief Executive.
4 Should this Charter become lay, and the citl-
gems without regard to parties come up next April
and elect honest and energetic men, there will be
reason to hope that the year ISL will really inau-
gurate the anxiOusly desired era OF reform, re-
trencbment and good government
The provisions of the new Charter are given
more specifically in another column.

only the interests OF few; and what party can be

selfish demands of a few arstocratic Shareholders
would degrade millions of laborers, and involve
the country in such peril
Hence, it ia manifest that the party which is OPP

If our present law prevented capitalists from in
vestny their funds in railroads there might be some
excuse for Mr.. Noxon's BIZ. Pat now, on account
of their great responsibilities, transportation CON-
panies exercise such constant vigilance that the
amount &C baggage lost by them ia HOt the one
mllionth part OF that transported; consequently
they have little to lose by change of the present
laws, while the interests Of the community are
ieoparded without an object. Under the present
law too. the carrier has little to complain Of for he
is OF liable unless the baggage has been placed In
his hands; nor can he be charged fos anything else
except such icles as are denominated baggage:
term which does not include large sums OF money,
Jewels, or any articles G greater value than persons
usually carry for their comfort while travelling; nor
do railroads receive baggage without checking 1T.
The liabilities therefore, OF these companies never
can affect their solvency, nor have any other effect
than in making them circumspect in the employ
ment of servants, and prompt in discharging them II
untrustwortby. Under such circumstances, we do
not wish to see any law passed that will impair the
liability or tend to diminish the vigilance of CON-
mon arriers
