THE NORTH AND THE SoUrn.-1hc cores
pondent of the Charleston MercWy thinks there
are in New York at least 10000 poor people
who would be happy to swap places with South
ern slaves. All they want in the world is plen-
ty TO cat decent clothes and Il reasonable amount
Of labor, and that any kind Sjuthern master
would ensure them. During one week G000
persons applied to the Alms.house office for pit
tances of money and coal. Mostof tbem would
work if they could, bat they cannot get any
thing to do, or are too sick to do it. The only
" liberty" that such poor creatures have any
practical knowledge of, is the liberty to freeze
and starve and the only slavery, slavery to
pinehing want.

Undue form, not even the MAYOR is at liberty to
speak for the Corporation, and accept for it cerf-
Gates of stock to the amount of a million of dollars
as compensation for the surrender of some valuable
interest. Indeed, we cannot but think that it was
to prevent any discussion of this whole subject by
the Council the community, that the arrangement
between the city and the Company was so hastily
and silently concluded. An additional liability
to the amount of SlSO,000 per annum is now
imposed on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, a
work in which the city has not only a heavy and
permanent Investment, but an interest altogether
beyond mere pecunary one The measure has
been heretofore vehemently opposed by the
Council, and is now earnestly objected TO by
the vast majority of our citizens. But not
withstandng this, all legal obstacles have
been withdrawn, and the money received by
the city without the assent, and apparently with
ont the knowledge of one Branch of the local
| government and while the counsel of the city
still contends that the declaration of the dividend
was an illegal act We can but feel that the H.
teress of this Corporation have been trifed with,
in the juggling transaction of last week, and
that public sentiment has been outraged and de-
| fed by the manner in which the arrangement was
| consummated. The Mayor, and the members of
the Council who consulted with him, have, by
their underhhnd and unauthorized movement,
committed the city to the most i'll advised policy
ha, Al.
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad and the sharp
practice which has been resorted TO in the Courts,
has alone enabled them TO consummate their
scheme. We will not say whom the largest
share of the responsibility ought to rest, but we
are sure that none of those connected with this
business will altogether escape the censure and
retrbution to which they have SO recklessly ex-
posed themselves.

We publish elsewhere the communication of
GRAFTON L. DULANy Esq, to the Second Branch
of the City Council, explanatory of his action as
counsel for the city in the extra dividend case.
Mr. DULANY takes the ground that be was bound
TO consult 'ihe interests and wishes of his eli
ents. and as he thought the settlement proposed
by the Company was an advantageous one for
the CITY, and had reason to believe the municipal
authorities desired to accept il, he took the respon-
sibiliy of acting without the sanction of the egis-
lative body, which alone had power to direct the
prosecution or discontinuance of the suit. 1t is
our duty to protest against the the theory pro-
pounded by Mr.. DULANY, as strenuously as we
have objected to the unwarrantable act it has led
him to perform. There is we submit, no analogy
between his position and that of lawyer who has
waived or compromised the claim of an indvid-
nal client Whatever latitude of discretion may
be allowable in the latter case, the attorney of
municipal corporation is bound TO confine himself
within narrower limits. He is not only I'M
der an obligation to consult the municipal au-
thorites before he undertakes to dispose of any
right or matter which is of vital importance to the
city, but it is equally his duty to insist that the
instructions he asks for SHALL whenever it is posi-
BILE. be formally and deliberately given him. 9th
erwise our dearest privileges and our gravest in
terests may be at any moment sacrificed. The ex-
ira dividend question is one of the most serious
which this city could have been called on 10 de-
termine. The Mayor and City Council can
press their opinions and wishes in regard to it
only in one recognized mode. By resolution
which was maturely considered and duly passed,
they directed this suit to be instituted and until
its abandonment was as distinctly authorized no
subordinate agent was justified in bringing SO
momentous controversy to conclusion. No
one had shadow of right to commit the
city to any such course as has been adopted,
upon the private representations or assuran-
ces of a majority of the members of the Coun-
Gil. or Of the Chairmen Of its Committees. The
CITY Council is itself mere agent, Its views

When we said yesterday, that we thought the
President of the Board of Trade little
too sanguine, in supposing that our chan
mel could be deepened in the course of the
next year sufficiently for the admission of the
Great Eastern 10 our wharves, we certainly had
no intention of disparagng the facilities now
offered by our harbor to foreign commerce of very
heavy tonnage, nor of throwing cold water on
whatever efforts may be contemplated to obtain a
still greater depth of water in the shortest posi-
BILE time Taking everything into consideration,
our port is already most admirable one. 1t has
been improved to its present capacity of admitting
vessels with draft of 229 feet, at an expense
really very small compared with the results OBJ
tanned. What has been done has, furthermore
shown what can be done; and we have no doubt
that by the time the commerce of the world shall
justify the employment of vessels of the size of
the Great Eastern, the Patapsco will have water
enough to float them. We were only endeavor-
ing to illustrate the mistake of covering up a cor
poraton frolic under the cloak of pretense to
further direct trade with Europe and after thou
sands are spent and the big ship departed, with
out any useful result, to have such futile and
absurd attempt used as an argument against all
future efforts of really serious character. We
are not opposed to deepening our channel-not
opposed to the Great EdsternS coming up the bay
NOT opposed TO Mr.. GARRETT giving her any
amount of emi-bituminous coal, which his
economical habits will allow-are very much in
favor of the people of the Monumental City enjoy
ing themselves great deal more than they do,
with all rational and innocent amusement-not
even opposed to the corporate authorities Jointly
and severally taking the most extensive excur-
sions by land or by water; caring little, indeed,
how soon some of them may go, and how long
they may stay. All that we desire is, that when
the Mayor and City Council think proper to
indulge in expensive recreaons they will
not consider themselves as acting in their
representative capacity and call upon the tax
payers to pay their bills. We are pleased to OBJ
serve that the Board of Trade declined to recon-
mend an appropriation TO coal the great ship, and
that The informal meeting of the members of the
City Council unanimously agreed not 10 accept
the proposition Of Mr.. JARRETT. Instead of doing
so, they heard u speech from Mr.. VERNON, of
Memphis on the subject of direct trade from the
South with Europe and adopted series of
resolutions looking to the establishment of fairs
or trade-sales in this city, and q line of steam
propellers from the Chesapeake 10 the other

United Steamer Wyoming was at Callao, June 80

demands of the United States. Mr. CLAW is doing
all he can to obtain peaceful and satisfactory ad-
ustment of the American claims; and it is rumored
that the Peruvian Minister of Foreign Affairs is
more favorably disposed now towards peaceful
solution of the questions at issue than he has been
during any previous stage of the controversy 1t
is thought if Mr.. Clay had little stronger naval
force to back him up, or little more backbone in
making his demands, there would be doubt of
his success.
