That fort is " shapeless and harmless mass OF

The credit Of this success belongs 10 Gen. Gill

THE syPERVs-ORs' ORDINANCE.

The Common Council has been subjected to q

the complete triumph Of the former, and The

ment and the People which BE- represented.
In another column wIll De- foand thc Escmp.

1t further provides that relief to the amount
Of three hundred dollars in addition TO aid now
allowed shall be supplied to the needy families
Of such men as are drafted and actually mus
tered into service. The same provision is made
for the families OF substitutes. 1t is also enacted
that in cases which in their discretion require it,
the committee which il 10 administer this fund
may supply substitutes for the drafted, espe-
cially for citizens in INDECENT circumstances upon
whom families are dependent for support.
All classes, therefore, who have any rghtiul
claim upon the city for exemption, are embraced
in this wise and just ordinance. No possible
fault is to be found with it, except by those who,
Ike the Common Council, esteemed il the CHIEF
purpose Of an exemption ordinance to nulIliy
the Draft. This is better ordinance for the
people than that 80 obstinatcly pressed by the
Council, relieving the Firemen, the Police, the
Militia and the indigeni, who ought to be re-
lieved-- 50 consulting fairly the interests OF
all classes. The Common Council might have
had the credit Of passing il il it had not chosen
to insist on It's own partial and disloyal plan.
The vote of the Supervisors, Of course, dis
poses Of. the attempt of the Council to ralfe
money on their scheme, either in advance or
upon q final passage Of the measure. This
ordinance is now to be the law for the city, and
the Council must bide its time for some more

GEN. DIX AND GOV. SEYMOUR.

The presence of large force OF United
States troops in this city during the pres
ent week has been source OF uncoh-
cealed irritation to the whole CoppeThead
press. These bronzed and weather-bea'eh
and SCARED soldiers of the Republic, on whohl
all loyal men look with pride and honor ior
their patriotism and courage, the disloyai Jour
nails revile in terms which would hardly De eA-
celed by the Richmond papers were these 'rooP'
quartered in that city rather than Ill Ne"-
York. Their hostility to the war, their SYM
nathv with Rebels, their Willingness 10 Sacfl-
fee the honor and integrity OF the country 10
Gain their own partisan ends have been dis
played often enough and under fimsy disguises
enough but the actual presence ofthese veteran
soldiers has so aroused their anger that they
have forgotten all decency and abandoned all
pretensons of loyalty in their unmoaSured
abuse of this unmisakabe evidence OF the
strength and determination of the Government.
A virulcnt and mischieyous paragraph upon
this subject in The Express, has called iorthirom
Gen. Dix publication Of the correspondence
between himself and Gov. Seymour, to show
why it was necessary TO call for United States
force to be sent to this city. We publish these
letters in another column, and they are as cred
table to the firmness and patriotism of Gen. Dix,
as they are discredtable to Gov. Seymour. It's
impossible for any candid man to read his sExcel-
lencv's letters and not see the dsloyalty to the
Government whichhe hardly affects even to cover
up. 1t is only when repeatedly pressed by the
General Commanding to declare his intention OF
cuforcngthe execution Of the laws that he gives
a reluctant assent, and even then delays till
Gen. Dix is forced to call upon The General Gov
eminent for a sufficient force, which should in
sure the suppression Of any attempt of insurrec-
ton. And when, finally, the Governor declares
that there shall be no violation Of order
and "no infactons Of the laws Of the State
he is careful to say that. under
no circumstances can they (the State author
itics) perform duties expressly conided ioo'hcr';
nor can they undertake TO relieve other from
their proper responsibilities" In other words,
though State laws will be enforced, be gives
fair warning that the Governor Of this State
will DO nothing to enforce the laws Of
the Union. Had not Gen. Dix already
taken proper precautions against an insurcc-
ton, it would have been ineXcusable in
him If, after so unmis,akable an asser-
tion of disloyalty on the part Of the
Governor, he had not provided a sufficient force
TO prevent a revolution which the Governor
clearly hoped to see. Can anybody doubt, after
reading these letters that the troops Of this city
were sent out Of it in preparation Of an expected
resistance to the draft and that Gov. seymour
is ready at any moment to see the State in
armed hostility TO the Federal Government
Let the Government take him at bis word and
intrust him with no duties that imply loyalty to
the nation.
