wrTRoPoLITAS HAHN BILL.
The pending question being the motion MADE some
dave since by Mr. Robinson 10 substitute Tor the Di
relating 20 The Board Of Health Of the City Of New
York the Metropolitan Health bill, Mr.. Cozans
moved 10 amend by giving the appointments OF me
members Of the Board Of Health 20 the Mayor ana
Roard of Aldermen instead of the Governor. Mr..
Robinson sad IL should be understood that although

nifs and hy Thousands Of rs best CtiZtih. larger
forc of the best influences Of tho City Of New-iork
had asked for this than had ever been arayed
ia favor OF auy other Gentlemen had s;nd, Let us
alonc, This was not The fr time thi- cry bad been
made II the gentleman who had made thE cry would
;urn 20 tie Gospel by Luke in which y narrated the
fact that our Savior saw TaFsins mau with an IN
chan spirit he would there learn that the demon re-
eriea the interference ~ Sax IUr, and cried ont,
" LIT us alone let M alone
Nr hrcularius fuerupiingi-"Do rs the gentleman
say that / have Al, unclelin dcyil'in me ~
Mr. Robinson" No, Sir mean 10 say that there
are ,reat MANY No. clean devils ia The city Of New
York which we dcsrr and intend 10 cast out, n the
Savior cast them out from the poor
ing their constant cry of " Let ~ alone.
Mr. Nnrian wished the members Of the country dis
trcts would let those from the city take care OF that
,y and in the way that their Immediate observation
health officer aud remove their appointment from the
srbe of pary innuence let the appointment II these
ocerF be vested in the Supervisors OF tue counties ~
New-York and Kings. He would make Thai mouonto
te.t the sincerity OF those advocating his measure.
NJ Rail made extracts from the report OF the Com
mee giving the statements Of the health and morali-
~ Of tie civ OF New-York.
Mr.. Cozans hoped the gentleman IRON sensseiicr
would no; quote statistics that he did no, know were
rerfee4y true The gentleman had never answered q
aueston he some time since asked as TO the duties OF
the City Inspectors Department Of the City OF New
York
officers should lie vested anywhere rather than IN the
Governor of the State. The experience New-fork
had realized OF late did not give him any encourage
nent in booking 20 that quarter.
Mr. Chapman thought that past experience proved
that Il wa best TO yest il here else than III the
Mayor and Aldermen
Sir. Keenan, wished 10 ask the gentleman from On
ondaQa whether there had been any Improvement In
the Harbor. Masters o. the port OF NeM-ior since
their appointment was moved up from New-fork to
Albany.
Mr. Chapman did not answer, as he had no knowl-
edge what kind of HurborMasters they had In those
days.
Earious other amendments were now offered, some
sdoued and others rejected When that section which
proposes to give the Metropolitan Board OF Heath ex
elusive cont rol Of all matters connected win the Pno
lie health came up Mr.. Narinn moved an amendment,
providing that all Charters and parts OF Charters exist
inc for the government Of New-fOrk are hereby le-
pealed. "
MIR. Chairman OF Onondaga thought that this might
he a good amendment, from some indcations tnst had
manifested themselves. Ii is said that New ork IL
TO sccede and oin the Southern Confederacy,
and with the abortion of this amendment, che would
60 out clearly without any legal incumbIance
Mr. Varian said the gentleman from Onondaga was
only anticipating what must be the result OF this legs
lation III New-York did not secede, II was only be-
ca,lse H. people would not vndicate ita own rights
Mr. Robinson said that the opponents OF TINS bll
were continually complaining tlal the OIL took Hon
the local authorities all control of the matters con-
need with the public health Of that city, and are per-
petually Offering amendments TO retain tins power.
He would say once for all that this bill does take away
from the local authorities this power, because those
authorities never exercised II; and tins bll would
pass If passed, without any DIVISION oi authority 'ha.
would impair Us efficiency. Inc proposed alehnuen'

inelccncy OF the present authorities, and Il was these
saIno inefficient Authorities that the gentleman rom
Newiork proposed to JOIN III the So'ernment OF 'ils
Commission. The powers exercised by DoaIoa Vi
Health even in country Villages, must OF heces
sity be extraordinary The nature and Importance Of
their duties demand II. So. &,
After .ome further fbus,ering and come additional
efforts TO perfect the BILL but which we've not all com
