that the Board Of Ten Governors have instituted legal
pro es az sipst the Commissioners OF Emlgrsuon
for the collection Of claim OF $'sIo ID, wnicn mas
accrued since 1884, for the support of lunacs, vagranfs
in the Ptpitentiary Hospital and Work-House, pau
n.,, IDIOTS. &c. During the past year. the only pay.
msnt received from the Commissioners by the Cover
morn wa, . email smount for actual service and dis
bur,euents for buryDg the dead. Legal steps for the
recovery of the amount referred to have been taken
| bv Me.srs Evars, Butler and Southmsyd. The Gov.
ors of the Aims House say every obstacle seems to
have been put in the way Of just return for the ex.
pendtures actually made by the Alms-Hou Depart
ment upon the verbal written and acknowledged obi
pnion of that Board and the imposition OF this tax
has been thus far and to this extent successful The
Beard of Governors cannot conceive Of more uoust
act than Ii at which this claim presents Commission
organized under a law of this State, and by that law
proyided with the means Of creating fund.- ample and
adeouse for its entire objects out OF the actual cash
advance made before It's disbursement Is required by
TIE poor vet enteprsine emgrants, refuses to return
70 the CITY Of New York the money It daily dsburses
for the protection of life and the treatment Of diseases
and seeks refuge in suit at law, while, under the
charge of being disturbers of the peace the unsc and
psuper are passed through the prison house to home
in the poorhouse and there et to die unheeded and
unpaid for. except by the City Of New-Yoik and its
officer. of the poor II is to be hoped that this great
wrong perpetra.ed upon the city, may yet be redessed
and the undoubted claims be paid.
The emirsnt himself is Interested deeply in this
claim being settled properly and justly He is no pau
Der that claims protection under the Commissioners OF
Emigration. nor should he rank as such, because Of
their refusal to pay the obligation referred to. He
Ia, performed his part Of the bargain, which secures
10 him for five years after his landing in NewYork all
nroper protection sgainst the misortnes which flesh
i heir TO- and can claim with justice the cost of his
support from them, if they have forced him from his
rgh,fu place Of protection to the Ams- House Of the
city, The legal tteps that have been taken should be
continued until the rights of our city shall be defined
fully 10 that in the end liz necessary new laws be
made to save the city from additional burdens OF the
came similar import.
There is a strange difference made by the emiUa-
ton in the estimate Of claims upon their fund.- They
have paid to the other counties Of the State-since
there to pay the city and county Of
large sum, while this city appears to have been
sy gl,d out as the object Of their special neglect 1t
| would seem that the city and county tax bull had
reached point Of elevation high enough to satisfy the
most voracjous among US; that the fashion and prac
ce Of city robberies had reached the point Of perfect
satisfaction. Why pay the demands Of othcr counties
Nav Xovl N he tach
of the law The law Of April 49, 1859, passed on the
petion of the Commissioners, denies the rghs Of the
people Of the City Of New-York to an equal portion OF
the fond provided for the support Of the unfortunate
emiqrant The law referred to, as amended, requires
tina, the master or owners of ships shall pay the sum
of ~. instead Of 81 50, Communication for each and
every emierant; "and fifty cents Communication for any
passenger or passengers shall be set aside q seps-
rate fund for the benefit OF each and every county
