WILL IT NEVER BE SETTAEn?--Last evening,
John, slave of Mr.. Campbell, was arrested, on,
Fulton street for,having under his arms two heads
of cabbage, supposed to be stolen. The woollg-
head and tho cabbage heads were locked up. Son,
of woolly heads owner hunted and found Re-
corder Emerson. and offered bail, which was ac-
eepted, for woollydeadss appearance to-day. The
Recorder went to the lookup and ordered wooIly-
heads release. Night officer Frank Ames called
the Recorders attention to the written order still
posted, feFhidding the discharge of any prisoner
not arrested on the Recorders warrant by any less
officer than the Mayor or the Chief of Police. The
negro was net released. The Recorder informed
officer Ames that he would arraign him for con-
tsmpt, and send aim down. for good period of
incarceration.
We and the whole town. have been waiting pa.
tently for legal adjustment of this conflict of
authority between the Mayor of tha city and the
Recorder of tho First District; the one an execu-
tv9, the othepa judicial officer. Both gentlemen
ara good friends of ours but we nlustpe permitted,
to state, in TIA discharge of duty to orr numar
ors readers that the general voice calls 1t strange
chat matter SO easily solyable before high legal
tribunal should be Sc much psocrastinated One
thng is certain, between the Mayor and, the, Re-
Cnrder One is rgts, the other is wrong. 1t is the
right Of tho city, wa respectfully suggest, tht this
! puzzle should have an early solution.
