Dianesd Cut Diamond The Common Council
and the Legislature.

UfHWOWd lut D1umOnu-Tne common Council
and the Legislature.
The Legislature which has just adjourned at
Albany was . very sharp body. The manner
in which il managed to spring traps and
astonish the unwary by unexpected legislation
has immortalized it. But Il has fair COM
petitor in the New York Common Council, as
the proceedings Of last night will show. The
Legislature In its last hours, and with much
secrecy, attached clause TO the city tax levy
transferring to the Metropolitan Police Board
all the powers and duties heretofore exercised
by the Mayor aud Common Council Of New
York, under all laws and ordinances In rela-
ton 10 theatres, places OF public amuse-
ment. keepers Of emigrant boarding houses.
junk shop keepers, junk boatmen pawnbrokers.
venders, hawkers, pedlers, intelligence Office
keepers, second hand dealers suctioneers.
hackney coaches and carriages and their
owners and drivers, carts and csrtmen, cabs
and cabmen, omnibuses and their drivers, and
cars and car drivers. This swept awav At
one fsll swoop nearly all the small remaining
authority of the Mayor and Council, and the
Police Commissioners were, no doubt, pre-
pairing with relish to take upon themselves
their new duties and distribute their new
patronage. But last night the two Boards Of
the Common Council met In special session,
ostensibly to pass resolutions on the occasion
OF the death Of one Of their number but in re-
aliy to try in their turn little sharp pra ctics
on the Legislature. In the Board of Aldermen
q preamble and resolutions were adopted re-
pealing every city law and ordinance in rela-
tion to all the above enumerated In
tercsts, and leaving theatres, smigrant
boarding house keepers, hackmen, hawk
ers, pawnbrokers and the like, for the time
being, free from oil city laws or regulations
whatever. The resolutions were at once
adopted and sent to the Board Of Council
men, where they were also passed Immediately,
only three votes being cast In the negative So,

got out of the carriage immediately. as much i'm
| pressed as If had been on the Chinese Wall. We
were on the road from Gettysburg TO Frederick,
facing South, close under the South Mountain, and
within sight of Emmettsburg. / saw, not far off, a
pillar of stone in wheat field and making across for
it, read in half egible letters, upon side and
on the other an ~ This then, was one of the few
remaining division stones set up by the two sur
voyOrs who were unconsciousy drilling powder
holes across our continent. They came over
the sea OH purpose to delneate this boundary,
bringing along their sights and tele-
scopes, and stakes, and cords, the largest body
of surveyors ever in America up to that time.
Both Mason and Dixon were mddle-aged English
men, and this line of geographical political divi-
sion was particularly an English gift to the virgin
country The colonies of Penn and Baltimore were
long at lOggerheads; fights over the border either
way were frequent; Maryland had been cheated out
of all the country north Of tho Potomac's south
branch, and made the most weazen-neCked territory
of all the colonies. At last Mason and Dixon camo
to settle the boundary and after computing the cur
vnear cap of Delaware, they proceeded far West
over the Blue Ridges and into the Indian country,
setting up an lltlaI STONE every Hllio anu e'ery teh
miles stone engraved with shields of arms. Their
diaries are curiously entertaining with regard to
frontiersmen and Indians encountered, but the
stones they raised were hardly yet messy when the
Revolution came and colonies and proprietors went
down together
Ystood by the old stone long time, thinking over
tho ebb and flow of individual and aggregate life
that had crossed it the Indian the war path, the
fugitive slave .blessng God that"there were some
nights without moonlight, the Hessian prisoners
after Trenton and Saratoga on the way TO old Fort
Frederick, the Rebel and the Loyal cavalry fercely
raiding and scouting and the broad tread of their
full armies making road like a sea.
Emnettsburg is q beautiful college and convent
tOwn-oRe Of those anomalies in American life where
there are no indigenous cloisters but the grave
and around it 1 saw the sisters Of charity move,
those who chequered Gettysburg with their white
hoods and made such strange soft apparitions that
seemed the doves and ravens had flown out of the
sky to feed the wounded soldiers.
FREDERICK is the most stately town South of Mason
and Dx6hs line, also the site Of Catholic college,
and built beautifully as becomes the noble land
scape around it, where the sublime and the pastoral
melt into each other. A creek like O moonbeam
drops through tho western flank Of the city, over
