How Much New York City Ia Governed.
From the New York Herald, 2ad1

In the course Of Mr.. Brady's argument be-
fore Gov. Fenton, on Saturday, he made a
point in regard to the municipal government,
which presents at once tho source and points
to the sole remedy for our municipal com;
plants. He spoke Of the double, treble and
iluadrnple forms in which the city government
had independent existence. Thus the Comp
troller sold the city stocks to the city itself
through the Sinking Fund Commissioners.
In this feature would be found the great oyil
Of the local government and the real groat
cause Of these complaints.
Thus there are tho following number Of
actual, or In great part Independent muni-
!. The Mayor, Aldermen and Common.lty.
2. The County-SuperFisors and county
8. The Municipal Commissioners, as The
Croton Board, City Inspector and Street Com
missioner, &C., I'LL Independent Of each other
2, The Finance, Tax and Assessment De-
partments.
S. Metropolitan Boards for Police, Fire,
Central Park, Excise, Charities and Corrcc-
ton, &c.
6. Education and Emigration, Pilot and
Harbor Commissions, &c, Health officer,
Harbor Masters, Port Warleus AMI Quaran-
tine Boards-these may be classed as State
commissions.
Besides these there are tho State and na-
tioual forms manifested, which In their va
rious qualifications, exclusive OF the Judi :iary,
lead to conflict, confusion and complica ion,
which must be reduced to some harmonious
system before the cvils complained OF or The
multiplied cost can be rcmcdicd. No extent
