TIE METZ CH4PTI,H

The new Charter which passed the Le;,isla-
ture yesterday, and is printed in full in TIE
TRIBUNE this morning, differs in only u few par
ticulars from the instrument embodied in the
Senate bill, whose principal features arc al
ready understood by most of our citizens. 1t
differs, however, in great many important
points from all the laws under which we have
been misgOverned heretofore; and while it
seems to us needlcssly cumbrous in some pro-
visions, and defective in many others, there
arc portions of it which command our hearty
approval. First of all, it gives us the privi
lcge of governing ourselves; and to that end
provides for an election on the 21st of May next.
There arc no Albany made Boards and Commits
siOns. The people of New-YOrk City choose a
Mayor and forty-five Aldermen, and these
among them select tho other officials.
Then the principle OF cumulative
voting, or minority representation, is fully
recognized, and this is certainly great point
gained. The legislative power is vested in
single Board of Aldermen, elected for one
year, nine from each of the five Senate dis
tricts. Each voter has nine ballots, and may
cast each Of the nine for different candi-
date, or cumulate them all upon one, or dis
tribute them in any way he plcases. The first
election this year is to be held on the third
Tuesday (21st) of May; but hereafter elections
are to be on the second Tuesday Of April.
The general powers of the Board of Alder
men in relation to ordinances, &C., are
not materially altered, except with reference
to expenditures, taxation, &C., all resolutions
involving which must BE- made public Eve days
before vote is taken, and require for adOp-
ton the concurrence of twO-thirds of all the
Aldermen elected. The Aldermen receive no
salary. The Corporation is forbidden, without
special act of the Legislature, to borrow
money beyond sums now authorized by law,
except in anticipation of the revenue of the
current year. Here, however. there Is evil
IDENTIFY door left open for great deal of
extravaganza. The authority now given by
law was enough to enable tho Tweed Ring to
carry on their enormous populations, and we
sec nothing to prevent the unlimited CONVEX
sion of revenue bonds into the permanent
funded debt, according to the system Of Mr..
X. b. Connolly.
The organization Of the Executive Depart
ments is too complex. At the head stands the
Mayor, who is elected for one year. and re-
movable by the Governor in the manner pro-
vided by law for the removal of Sheriffs-that
il to say. after having o copy of the charges
against him, and an opportunity to be heard
in his defense. lie is to communicate to tho
Aldermen at least once In three months gen.
eral statement Of the finances, government and
improvements of the city. His salary is $4,000,
and the aggregate expenses Of his office for
clerk hire &c, must not exceed 600 an
nualy. Az will be hereafter seen, he has ex-
tcnsivc patronage in the coordinate Executive
Departments. aud slil more extensive powers

labors and painful self-sacriice vindicated Ina
memory from al aspersion of charlatanry. 1t
is no wonder to us that school should havo
arisen which devoutly believes in the theories
of man 30 tremendously in earnest. And 1t
certainly does seem rather q hard case that
that school should be annthema mcIanafha to
the other and older school which calls itself

At present, not only is the homeopathic OK
permcnter not permitted to uso the colleges

allowed az u physician to practice in the hos

to walk them. Among the sacred rights which
the Republic gIarant ees us Is tho right or
every man, We sOlemnly believe, to die under
whatever system of healing he may prefer.
And therefore we go in heartily, for the sue

We have more than once said that there
seemed to be no philosophic reason for the
queer fact that the professional dispenser of
jalap and calomcl refuses to recognize the
professional dispenser of pellets and trtura-
tons as q medical man and brother. Since
the sagcst of the fraternity knows far too little
of the amazing mechanism be assumes to reg
ulate, 1t would appear to tue lay mind the
part of wisdom to welcome whatever light
might stream from whatever unexpected East
And certainly the name and story of Samuel
Christian Friedrich Hahnemann arc not wisely
made the jest of nimblc wits.
We do not pretend to offer an opinion Oh
the scientific value of a system of which we
know little and understand less. But this we
do not hesitate to declare that if ever med
ical man were wholly and sublimely above any
lust impntation or suspicion of quackery
this same Hahnemann was that man. A scholar
80 accomplished and SO thorough that at
twenty he supported himself in the University
of Lcipsic by teaching Latin, Greek, and the
modern languages, and by translating foreign
medical essays into German student so
ardent and so determined that for years he al
lowed himself to sleep only every other night that
he might spare no unnecessary moment from
his beloved books poor, obscure. and without
influence, yet, at twenty-five, intrusted with a
hospital ward at LeopOldstadt, and recon-
mendcd for preferment by tho physician Of
the Emperor; at twenty -four, when examined
for his degrees, presenting a remarkable and
original thesis, and at thirty five, having mean
while found time for hard study of chemistry
and mincralOgy, established in q lucrative

in the record Of these severe years which looks
like pretensc or superficial qualities of mind.
Then came darker days. The young physician,
popular, accomplished, admired, cOurted, with
rapidly growing scientific reputation and secure
fortune within his grasp. was seized with
doubts of the honesty aud worth of the received
system of therapeutics. He sought facts and
laws, and believed that he found only guesses
and theories. Once to doubt, with him, was
once to be resolved. lie resigned his fashion

hoped to win, gave up his pleasant home and
went back to Leipsic to support his family. If
no could, by translating English and French
medical authors while working hard at chem

fell away from him, his wife was bitterly
angry with him, his children sickened and
suffered in poverty, and still he only said, like
Luther, " Here stand. can DO no otherwise.
For it is not safo for man to 60 against

At last, almost accidentally. certain circum-

The Chairman of the Grant meeting on
Wednesday night was Mr.. William i. Dodge
and the Chief Engineer Of the meeting
was Mr.. Thomas Murphy. What the Chair
man thought of the Chief Engineer he had
occasion to say under oath before the Con-
gress Investigating Committee, as follows:
"The fact that the Administration was represented

These things which Mr.. Dodge thought so
bad the President seems to have thought very
good; for on the retirIcy Of Mr.. Murphy from
the position from which THE TaIBUNE's ex.
posure drove him, the President eased his full

There Is some unfinished work before the
Legislature which ought TO remain forever un-
finished, but which in tho haste of adjourn.
mcnt there is danger may he completed. For
instance, there ia a bill to appoint twenty
standing Referees for this city and county
to try the vast number of cases to which
tho several courts have not time to give
their consideration. 1t is most absurd
provision, which ignores alike the claims Of
educated lawyers and the rights of liiigants to
select their own referecs-a right secured by
the highest law of the State. the abuse Of
which is among the most serious charges made
against tho corrupt Barnar,ls and CardOzOs.
We have before denounced this bill, and
only i"nOrance of the sensible and just system
of References which'the existing law already
provides oOnld have originated il. 1t is alb
surd to begin with, and deserves no further
consideration. Then there is bill to abolish
imprisonment for debt, which ignores alto
gether the fact that Imprisonment for pow.
erty was abolished by tho Stillwell act
of April 26, 1881. We have some right "
speak upon this subject, because THE TRIBUNE.
by its exposures of Ludlow Street Jail called
attention to the abuses of the act alluded to.
But the bill pending is imperfect because Il
makes no distinction between prisoners who
are debtors through misfortune and prisoners
who are debtors through fraud; and In
abolshing all arrests on civil process, 1t leaves
merchants and others who may be de-
ceiyed by plausible scoundrels without rem
edy. If this bill had been q law eight months
ago, Tweed and Connolly could not have
been arrested and held to bail on the suits
begun by Mr. OC0nOr. We do Mt want the
law which made possible the arrests Of these
criminals abrogated at present. Further. there

II is hardly worth while to waste words on

Washington to commit Congressman to the

notice as specimen of political finesse, and
resulted only in the parade of such meager

We may as well be resi- gDcd to the dcslruc-
ton of the Broadway Tunnel schemes, though
another avenue of rapid transit is provided
by the Vanderbilt bill. The Senate has sub
-tant,ly killed the Central Underground
Railroad project, by q vote of II to T. The
sane body has passed the Vanderbilt bill, and
there is some prospect that we shall have, at
least that plan for solving the difficulties
which now beset rapid transit through the
city. Tho Beach Pneumatic scheme is con-
considered hopelessly gone; and, Judging from
appearances, there will be but one project
saved ont of the general wreck.
The pressure for relaxation Of old Saba
tartan restrictions, particularly in the matter
" opening libraries, picture galleries, and lee
ture rooms, continues and the unmistakable
tendency of the public mind is in that direc-
ton. The announcement that Henry Ward
Beccher has consented TO speak Oh the subject
in tie Cooper Institute, next Monday evening.
with special reference to the opening of tho
Mercantile Library, will give general satisfac-
ton, and insure large audience. The whole
question seems one for wisely fastening slowly.
For ourselves, on purely secular grounds, for
the sake Of public morals, we should depre-
cate any action that would tend to break down
the popular sanctions of the Sabbath rs day
of rest and should welcome any action that
would tend to make more fully available all
the opportunities this rest ought to give for

Senator Wilson was unfortunate in his ref
.renco to the legality of detailing military
officers ~ attendants at the White House. A
slight examination into the facts shows that
his citations of precedent, except those OF
Andrew Johnson's time, are incorrect. But
even those which he claims as precedents were
in existence before the passage of bill which
makes Messrs. Dent Porter, and Babcock the
illegal holders Of military commissions. That
law expressly provides that any mill
tary officer accepting or exercising the
"functions Of a.civil Office, shall at once cease
"to be an officer of the army, and his com
Emission shall be vacated thereby" Yet, IN
