GRAFTON. ,
NJ WADgWORTH presented two memorials tni'
morning, numsrously signed by citizens o, Dun@.i
~. inc for the passage Of law amending the several
% providing for the relief and maintenance OF emu
~ont nanpsrr and the duties and powers OF the Com
m;s.iopers Of Emigration, which will more enectasIy
md, mnify The counties for expenses eompee1 or inc
.n. ~ .uch emigrant paupers unGe existing laws.
Tbsx represent ss therefor, that under exist
inn laws the Commissioners in their appointment are
weov confined TO the Cities of New-fork ana brook
kn; that the interests OF the 'oipinEsoa aao IN
ordrates at an aggre gate salary OF 20; that
Of the interior counties are not represented
IN sueh Commission and but little regard PAID 10 their
ust claims and demands that al sucn claims are SUD
rIv :, ;ect them unless coming within and governed
nv their own local regulations.
The extent Of the interests OF counties may be
irdged from the fact that the Legislature OF 1853
nassed law increasing the head money on emigrans
Ia s2 one fourth of which intended TO be set apart
for the benefit of counties having claims for emgrant
relief The amount received by the Commissioners
during the wear 1854 for emigrant communications was
s6332iO; one fourth of which amounting TO slSs,So2
should have been placed to the credit of the County
Fund" In.tead of being 40 applied the sum of s7s,
53o IS being about one half the amount claimed by
countless, was credited TO them, and the balance,
amounting to s79 40 arbitrarily placed to the credit of
the General Fund for the benefit Of the City Of New
York leaving the year 1855 unprovided for, except
IS per cent on the amount due on the lst Of April
last although the Commissioners are IN the receipt
of a sum Of not less than $4,000, having accrued
the past wear aud Justly applicable to the de-
mands of counties. During the period the Com
mssioners have greatly relieved their local fund,
by sending and quarerng great numbers OF emlgrants
into and on the interior counties, there TO be re-
lieved and when payment has been asked, nave re-
fused on the ground OF nsuicency Of means although
in the s.on Of real and personal property approx
mating TO nearly 100000 in value They ask for an
amendment the present law providing for the reduc.
ton Of the Commissioners 10 three only TO be selected
from different parts Of the State who shall be required
to give bonds for the faithful discharge of the duties OF
the Office and being in the recept OF competent SAL
ary shall devote their personal attention to the duties
oftheir Office thereby superseding the employment OF
grant funds and thus make the Commission what 1t
ever should have been-a State rather than local
institution. Mr. Wadswodh considered this very I'M
potant subect-One that should attract the attention
OF the whole State. II the grievances complained OF
really existed. they demanded immediate remedy at
the fands OF the Legislature. In view OF its import
nrce he moved reference OF the subject TO Select
Committee.
Mr.. BROOKS had no objection 10 such reference,
though he felt certain that thorough investigation
woud result in generating the Commission from
the charges thus broadly brought against it, The Com
mssonrrs IN the possession OF no such funds as
stated by the memonalists. An examination OF the
snbi,ot would show cOnousvely that the petitioners
themselyes are entitled TO large share OF the con-
demnation that they evidently desire TO bring down
II, on the Commission.
The PRESIDENT then announced the Select Com
mi.tee on the subject a. follows MessIs' W ads"otb,
Brooks and Lee.
