The great Massachusetts, statesman, with oil bis
love Of the Union with all his anxiety to con.
cste the South, would have spurned them with.
out hesitation, as insultioe and degrading. We
can imagine the astonisbment with which he
would have looked upon Faneuil Hall meeting
of his own friends and followers taking such q
position, but we confess our fancy is inadequate
TO fathOm the bewildoriBg amayement that would
have rushed over his mind at hearing the cheers

p0scd asked the Legislature last Winter 70 pass
,o. In enable them to 20 on with the work.
s,os A law was passed April TO- looV' just
,.era the close Of the session. Wnen 700 ia'c,
!. 90. discovered that interested parties had
r,aud prOviso to be tackled to tue act au'nOr'
,..,r tSe Mayor to appoint an arbitrator On
half Of the city, Messrs. Baldwin d JaycoN 10
.nooint one, and they two to appoint third 10
site into consideration any damages Messrs.
n,,dsi, & Jaycox might claim to have sustained
:. ba nremises. and 10 make such an award as
tbey might deem just
Til, act became law while Mr.. Peck was
.ctioc Mayor. and he, in behalf of the City, ap'
ooip,ed Mr.. Jacob L. Oakley, who immediately
oOtiGed the Controller, the CrotOn Board ana
N contractors Of bis appointment and tha! ne
y 4 prepared to act with any arbitrator WHOM
issy might appoint. To this notification he re.
ceiyed no reply. Mr.. Oakley subsequently caHed
a. tbe MAYORS Office, after Mr. Wood bad re-
tar,od and was informed by the Mayor that he
had appointed the Hon. Geo. G. Barnard to act
~, the part of the City before he lett town.
Now. 90 Mr. Wood left town on the lfh OF
April, and the act was not passed till the 10Th,
Il follows that such an appointment If made
which is very doubtful could not have been legal.
On the 10th, when the act became a Law, Mr..
psck az President Of the Board Of Aldermen,
,sss acting Mayor in Mr.. Woods absence, and
"a sppointment of Oakley was therefore valid
II IA now claimed fiat Judge Barnard was sp-
pointed by telegraph after the passage of the
hill but we do not think that the City could
stand pair Of Mayors. One at time is quite
enough, and that one just then was not Wood,
bat Peck.
However, this commission, whose authority
gss obtained by fraud boldly pushed through
the Legislature, has awarded $685. 600 TO those
injured individuals, Messrs. Baldwin and Jaycox.
Bu. the Common Council, We are glad 10 per-
,eye, do not intend ia paw it, even if the COM
mission was not tainted with llegality, as it
undoubtedly is by the substitution of Barnard for
Oakley. Resolutions, offered By Mr.. Froment to
direct the Corporation Counsel to test the legal
ty Of the award, and declaring the amount
thereof excessive, have passed the Common
Council. 1t is to be hoped that Mr. Bronson
viii be able to spare time enough from his
srduous political duties TO defend the rights Of
the city in this case, and foil desperate attempt
81 fleeing the treasury. If be does not, We
lha probably have every unsuccessful bidder for
4 contract claiming damages from the corpora
sOn because it was not awarded to him.
