MADISON, Feb. Z, 1857.
EDS. TRIB. & TEL a..
! do not think of any thing of impor-
lance in legislation as having been per-
fected since my last
A bill has been sent up here for legis-
iative consideration, consolidating and
amending the charter of the city of ke-
nosha, believe it proposes no very
striking alteration of the present charter,
and acts amendatory thereof. 1t pro-
poses to enlarge the city boundaries
somewhat, taking in portion of the
farm of p. d. Hugunin, and think some
other tracts on the west and south west
not now in the city limits. This pro-
posed enlargement, so far at least as
Hugunin's farm is concerned, will be
stricken out, as the members here will
probably not consent to drag, nolens 20
lens, within city limits, land which is
used only for farming purposes, and is
not intended by its owner to be used for
any thing else. When he gets ready to
sell it out for city lots, which he will
probably, as soon as the public necessi-
ties require it for that purpose, it will be
very proper to subject it to city taxation.
Probably the school law will be so
amended as to make the city superin-
tendent elected by the people, and also
to give the people in School District
meeting final review of School mat
tiers. The bill as sent up here, proposes
also to make the term of the Treasurer
and Clerks offices, t,co years instead of
one, as heretofore. | think of nothing
else of importance in connection with it.,
different from what it has been hereto
fore. 1t comes endorsed to the mem
bers here by resolution of the City
| Council attested by the Clerk; examin-
ed also, it is said, and approved by the
"other officers of the city, and by citi-
zens in whose Judgment the Council has
confidence" No doubt it is all right, or
will be with the slight amendments pro-
posed.
Hopes are entertained that the session
will close on the Odd, as resolved, though
it is quite probable it will continue long

The Burdell Tragedy in New York.

The New York papers come to us fill
ed with the details of the examination
of witnesses in reference to the murder,
before the Coroner. The matter seems
to be enveloped in mystery, which the
examination thus far has failed to clear
up, in the least degree. The n. Y.
TriJat'se Of the 5th, has the following in
reference to the state of the case at the
latest date:
The testimony taken yesterday in the
inquest upon DR.. Burdell is fully report
ed in our columns this morning. Much
of it is unimportant, but there are some
points which deserve attention, espec
tally that which shows that man went
into the house about quaater before
eleven o'clock, and that within a few
minutes the cry of "murd-" was dis
tinctly heard, as heretofore testified by
the neighbor opposite. 1t lis also shown
that Mr.. Eckel, on coming to the house
on Saturday and being told by the ser
want that DIR. Burdell was murdered, re
marked that it was more likely he had
killed himself Eckers trunk, which had
been in the house fortnight before, was
removed previous to the murder, but al
what time we do not know. The Wo
man in the carriage who called upor
Eckel, as heretofore shown, was no
Mrs. Cunningham, but Eckcrs mistress
Altogether, we do not perceive that any
real progress was made by the long days.
work. The witnesses were last nigh
permitted to go at large. Public excite
ment is considerably abated, so far a
visiting the scene, but the mysterious
character of the case makes it almos
the only theme Of conversation.

Tremendous Freshet at Albany
ALBANY. Feb. /.

ALBANY, Feb. y.
The Hudson Ricer-As was antici-
pated yesterday, the tremendous flood
of last night, occasioned damage to an
amount impossible, at present to con-
lecture, but which cannot fail to reach
81 ,000, 900.
The city was the scene of the utmost
confusion and excitement. The citizens
were engaged all last evening on the
docks and in the lower part of the city
in removing. goods, and storing them
away in the second stories of stores and
buildings where it was thought the flood
would not reach them. But these cal
culations proved erroneous. About Io9
o'clock the ice commenced moving III
the river with tremendous force, threat
ening the State street bridge for some
time. The water rose so rapidly that
those working on the docks and piers,
were compelled to make rapid retreat.
The water in the river commenced ris-
Ling until o'clock this morning, when it
reached point three feet higher than
ever known before.
The entire lower part of the city is
| flooded as high as Green street.
The lower part of Herkimer, Hudson,
Lydius, Hamilton and Parallel streets
are submerged to the first stories of the
buildings on them.
The water flowed through Broadway
from the Exchange to the Delevan
House, flooding the streets and filling
the cellars. The Streets between
Broadway and the river are navigable
by boats.
When the great flood commenced it
was about o'clock in the morning.
The water rose six inches in five minutes.
Persons who had retired to their beds
thinking themselves safe, were aroused
by horsemen who rode through the wa
ter knocking at the doors of houses to
arouse the sleepers to sense of their
danger.
The widest confusion prevailed
The people in the lower parts of the city
having barely time to escape with their
lives. A large number of cattle were
stabbed in the distilleries; the believing
and cries adding excitement to the
scene: they were drowned. About 3
o'clock A. NJ, the bells were sounded
for fire, when flames were dis covered
bursting forth from houses in different
parts of the city. Z. c. Warn er s. Sons
lime kilns and buildings in South ST.,
and III. r. Barrett's fine brick stores on
the pier were in flames at the same time,
having in each case ignited through the
Stacking of lime. The depth of water
rendered it impossible for the engines to
reach the scene of the confagration, but
the fremen put off in boats with buck
cts, and confined the flames to the build
ings where they originated. About this
time the wind changed and the weather
became exceedingly cold.
The propeller Western World lying
in front of Barrett's store, caught fire,
and was scuttled and sunk to save her
cargo of 4 200 bush. of corn.

ALE WE TO HAVE A New CRY CHAR
TER?-Probably but few people in this
city are aware that we are soon to have
a new city charter. 1t seems our city
council have taken upon themselves the
labor of preparing a new charter, and
have forwarded it to Madison for legis-
lative enactment. Heretofore, whenev-
er any city has deemed it necessary to
obtain new charter, it has been Gus
tomary to canvass the advantages sought
to be gained, and to submit the propos-
ed instrument to the people for their
adoption or rejection. The fundamen-
tai municipal law Of this city, is a mat
ter of primary Importance; that the peo-
pie never think of constituting the mem
bers of their city council sole judges in
the matter, as to casting aside old char
tiers, and adopting new ones. a char
ter, is to city in an eminent degree.
what a constitution is to State; neither
of which should be set aside at pleasure,
and new one adopted, except by the
popular WILL legitimately expressed
The new charter which has been gotten
up, may be we'll enough, but the genius
of our institutions, presumes the people
to be the rightful judges in the premises,
and capable of exercising self govern
ment. Probably there is no wrong in
tent on the part of those who have taken
the duty upon themselves of furnishing
the city with new charter; neverthe-
less, it is well to keep in mind, that the
true exercise of power in cases of this
kind. resides in the people. ***
