The Metropolitan Mayor or Commissioner
and City Reforms.

The Metropolitan Mayor or Commissioner
and City Reforms.
The plan which we proposed recently to
reform the government of this city by the ap-
pointment Of metropolitan mayor or commits
sioner has been received with general favor.
We hope that before long bill will be drawn
up and submitted to the Legislature in order
to carry that plan into effect. The mismanago-
mcnt Of our city officials has been 80 gross that
a committee has been sent down from the
Legislature to investigate the very numerous
complaints Of our citizens; and from this COM
mittce, composed Of respectable, intelligent
and influential men, we anticipate several prac-
teal suggestions as to the best mode Of cor
recting the abuses about to be examined. But
1t must DO evident, even to the most thought
less, that no city reform can be Of any avail
unless II is thorough and sweeping In its
character. The political machine, which runs
so nicely now, can be easily adjusted to suit
any slight notifications Of existing arrange
nents, and the only way to stop its working
is to destroy the machine entirely. This we
propose to do by the appointment Of . metro
politan mayor or commissioner, and we take
this TO be the only feasible and efectual mode
yet presented for the consideration Of our
people and our legislators
The bill providing for the creation Of me-
tropolitan district need not be at all complex
On the contrary, the simpler II Is the more &C
ccptable Il will be TO those concerned. Its
main provisions may DO found in the original
Dongan and Montgomery charter, and few
changes Of names are almost the only altera-
tons necessary. The bill should authorize tho
Governor TO appoint mayor or commissioner
annually for this city and Brooklyn. This
mayor or commissioner should bo invested with
extraordinary supervisory and executive
powers. The two cities should be united in
ono district for oil general purposes, as they
now are for the purposes Of the Metropolitan
Police Department A Board Of Aldermen for
the two cities, to be elected annually, should
be empowered to do the Legislative work OF Che
government. The mctropolitan mayor or com.
missioner should have the authority to appoIn
his subordinate executive officers, and 60 re
move them for cause. IL Is doubtful whc,he,
the Board of Aldermen shonld be allowed ID,

Important from Richmcnd-The Virtual
Overthrow or Jen. Davis Power.
The news from the Richmond papers which
We publish this morning is Of the highest i'm
portance. The long anticipated uprising against
JEFF. Davis has been inaugurated The rebel
Congress, in secret session, has efFectually de-
posed him by creating the Office Of gencral-in-
chief of the armies, and virtually dissolved ais
government by inviting his Cabinet to resign.
For months past it has been apparent that
the confidence Of the rebels in their leader was
rapidly waning. The distrust which the rebel
Congress has intimated was felt in the Cabinet
extends to the President, in consequence Of his
many usurpations and numerous failures. The
people of Savannah abandoned him and his
cause before their city fell into our hands. The
news this morning shows that the citizens Of
Charleston were Respondent and ripe for revo-
luton. The citizens Of Wilmington are ready
and anxious to fall into our hands, and win not
leave the city, which Bragg d evacuating. Not
only in the rebel Congress, but in every portion
Of the confederacy, the people are ready to
abandon the sinking ship Of Davis and throw
themselves under the protection Of our nag, or,
where that Is impossible, under the command
Of another less cruel, selfish and uncompro-
missing leader. The indications grow stronger
aud more numerous every day that the dissolu-
ton Of the rebellion Is rapidly and irresistibly
approaching.
Thus Davis has ceased 10 be the head and
front of the rebellion. The new leader IL, in
all probability, to DO General Lee, who, though
undoubtedly the most popular man in the
South, Is not, according to his own confessions,
the most ardently devoted to the cause Of the
rebellion. In placing him at the head of their
armies the rebels elect leader who declared
that he recognized no necessity for revolu-
ion," and who had no "desire to draw his
sword save in defence of his native State" All
that can be hoped for, and, indeed, all that ap-
pears 10 be anticipated, by the rebels as . re-
suit Of this change of leaders Is temporary
revival Of the public spirit and the addition Of
few thousand conscripts, gathered in the
brief hour Of enthusiasm 70 their failing armies.
But the change has como too late, The 70

The Duty ON Paper-Tho Duty OF the
The House Of Representatives has passed
resolution reducing the duty on paper from
twenty cents 10 three cents This resolution
was rushed through In the hastisst manner, and
a motion to refer the subject TO an appropriate
committee was voted down. The ostcnsible OBJ
ject Is to "rclieve tho newspapers Of some Of
their burdens" The assembled representa-
tivss Of tho nation having agreed some timo
ago that II was necessary for the cause Of the
country that certain taxes should be laid upon
nearly oil necessary articles, also agreed, after
mature elaboration, upon what articles and TO
what extent II should be laid, and fixed the
scale minutcly. We ere not aware that any
one maintains that this was not right. Nearly
every branch Of trade, IL Is true, complains
that the system Expresses It, and in many in
stances It's burdens fall heavily upon the peo-
pie. Whiskey dealers have notion that the
world would 60 on better II the taxes on their
commodities, home made or imported were

were constructed. Day after day, week after
week the pounding from Wagner was main
tanned so effectually and thoroughly that it
was impossible to keep gun in position on
that side
The only gnss now remaining are FIVE or
six on the Noultre side. in the middle tier of
case mates. Five howtzer were kept on the
walls to repel an attack by small boats, the
garrison keeping under cover or seeking cover

the fort from scaling party. At the base
outside are iron posts and wire network.
There is also u submerged net work of wire
aud chains. kept in place BY floating buoys.
81 had the curiosity tie make an inspection
of the wall facing Moultrie TO see what was
the effect of the fire Of the iron olads in Du-
points attack With my glass ut that time
could see that the wall was badly honey
combed; close inspection shows that it was
a very damaging fire. There are SEAMS in
the masonry and great garnes where the So
lid bolts crumbled the bricks to fine dust IL
is evident that # the fire could have been con-
tinued any considerable length of time there
that the wall would have fallen The effect
of that fire led to the filing up of the lower
classmates.
An hour was passed in the fort the band

ing the ruins and gathering relies.

who is now Aide to Gen. Gilmore, was of the

faction and pleasure, not unmixed with the
melancholy, for yonder. beneath the sand of
Morris Island, his beloved commander was
lying-his Colonel, his General his brother
officer, fellow soldier. 1t is apty that he
was not there on Saturday to raise the flag
upon the work but he was ON duty else
where.
." The four long years the cannon of Sumtr
have hurled their iron bolts against the rights
of man but the contest there is ended. The
strong earthworks on Sulivan's and Johnson's
Islands, the batteries in the harbor, Castle
pinckney and Fort Ripley, those in the ci,y
erected by slaves, are useless now and forever,
except as monuments of folly and wickedness.
