To Bcnoni Wheat, esq, nle,n6er If the CITY Cout-
cit from the First Ward: -
Sir: A. portion of the reported remarks you
were pleased to make in the Common Council IS
40 fagranLly false that Am constrained to notice
them, rs will notice every lalschood YOU may
utter about me You say that some Of the men
appointed by tho Mayor had been guilty of tho
grosscst negligence of duty, &c. This most
postivcly deny and challenge the proof There
has never been the slightest charge against a
ready man appointed by the Mayor, There
have been thirteen ready men appointed under
the present organization, ymd only three have
been appointed by me, without the recommenda-
ton of some member Of the City Council. One
of the three is now on the regular force, another
had been on the force and was endorsed by Capt;
Webster, and the other is now n ready mnn and
received twelve votes towards his election by tho
present City Council; pre:uming that recon-
mendation, Iappointed him a ready. man, and
he ia now nccsptably filling the position. In the
absence of Police Regulations I established a
code after July lst. 1871. There is no such
thing as Police Board orPoiice Commi$sioners,
with either executive legislative or Judicial func-
tons, rs decided by Judge Keith.

Gentlemen: return to YOU, without my OH

AN act to re-organize the police OF Alexandra.
This is precisely the same act passed by the last
City Council ut their last meeting, but one, the
veto message on which waa sent to you. enter
tanned strong hopes that my message would be
nsturely considered, which would prevent the
re-enactment of the same measure Inc factthat
u committee of conference was deemed advisable
evidences that there were strong doubts us to the
nrOpriety of the measure earnestly entreat the
members to look at the Constitution OF the State
before finally compromising their Judg on
this act regret the necessity which compels
mo to dissent from the action OF the present City
Council AS l stated in my former veto the End
section clearly trenches upon the Constitutional
prerogatives Of the Mayor, which the present IN
Sumbent will not submit to, even IT the law %
passed over his veto. l respectfully rotor you
% my former veto message on this suoJect. l
hIye no objection to tho Ist Section although
the We is no necessity even for that. The present
MNvor never appoints Il rcady-Inan VINO Is not
ngr.eub bio to the Captain of Police nor without
rensuting him; therefore it is no desire for power
INIT actuates him in making such appointments
Permit me to ask respectful hearing and con-
