THE PATCHWORK QUILT,

In sheen Of silken splendor,
With glinting threads of gold,
I've seen the waving marvels
That hung in halls of old.
When fair hands wrought the lily.
And brave hands held the lance,
And stately lords and ladies
Stepped through the courtly dance.
I've looked on fairer fabrics.
The wonder ofthe loom,
That caught the flowers of summer.
And captive held their bloom;
But not their wreathing beauty,
Though ut for queens to wear,
Can with one household treasure,
That's all my own. compare.
1t has no golden valne,
The simple patchwork spread;
Its squares in homely fashion
Bet in with green and red.
But in those faded pieces
For me are shining bright,
All! many . summer morning,
And many a winter night.
Ahc uCWy UIcNtu ClDNtT,
The leaping light of flame,
Like spells my heart come over,
As one by one / name
These bits of old time dresses
ChintZ, cambric, calico
That looked SO fresh and dainty
On my darlings long ago.
This violet was mothers;
seem to see her face,
That ever, like sunrise,
Lat up the shadiest place.
This buff belonged to Susan:
That scarlet spot was mine,
And Fannie wore this pearly white,
Where purple pansies shine.
turn my patchwork over
A book with pictured leaves
And feel the lilac fragrance,
And the snowfall on the caves.
ofali my hearts possessions.
think II least could spare
The quilt we children pieced at home
When mother dear was there

THE TARIFF.

Reporter Well sir, l will not detain
you further; merely remarking, in
that the Evening Post holds
that the present generous protective
tariff figures more largely in this ques-
ton than the producers have eyes to
see or patience to endeavor to compre-
hend. One item Of your capital is the
enhanced value which the tariff has
given to every article which enters in
to the making and operating Of rail-
road, not excepting labor.
Mr.. Harris-The Post is right. Let
me give you forcible illustration. We
are, as rapidly as possible, substituting
steel rails throughout our road, for iron.
To do this will require 81 600 tons Of
steel, costing $l25per ton, or So. .375. 600.
One-third Of that sum goes to the &C

THE MINORITY REPORT.
M
GENERAL PRESS DISPATCH. !

The following is the minority report OF Messrs.
Opdyke and Bloomenthal:
The undersigned respectfully dissent to the report OF
the Committee OF this House on the Affairs OF Cities upon
the bill referred to them, entitled as now amended An
act to reOrganze the local government of the City of
NewYork" The main reasons for such dissent are sue
cinctly as follows:
THE APPOINTING POWER MISPLACED.
One objection make TO the charter proposed by the
Committee for the City OF New-York and which
alone woud have compelled dissent from their report,
will be found in section % OF the BILL While this sec
ton provides that the first instance the Mayor shall
nominate TO the Board or Aldermen the names OF per-
for the heads OF departments yet 1t provides that
the Aldermen do not confirm such nominations within
the period OF few weeks then the Mayor shall go into
joint convention with the Board Of Aldermen and that
the heads OF departments shall be appointed by ma
jOrty vote in such joint convention. A tyro
legislation will perceive that this section sub
stanaly bestows upon the Aldermen the whole power
OF appointment and that the Mayor has only
the semblsnce OF such power. This provision is an
ominous. unprecedented and in fact revolutionary one
In its character IL subversiye OF all known methods,
and find no sanction from experience from public
need, nom reason. II bettes the dgned office OF
Mayor Of a great municipality. IL mingles the execu-
tive power with the legislative in defiance OF the teach
ing OF all experience aud the radical principles OF free
government everywhere. IL abolshes a republican
pretend to defend the scheme in point Of principle II
other motives have suggested its adoption they are
not such as can claim the support of wise and far
sighted ststesmanship. Temporary expedency Is an
argument which often brings strong temptations, IN
decd departure from recognized methods and from
admitted principle But history. in this State as well
elsewhere, has taught Legislatures the danger OF
yielding to such temptations.
Tue CHARTER WRONG IN PRINCIPLE.
In the second place we dissent from the report OF ths
Committee because we cannot favor tho pro-
posed Charter as q whole The entire framework
OF the Charter framed upon the plan OF nstitutine
separate executive departments of the municipal
government each OF which is TO be, In its own sphere
absolutely OF all control the part either
Of tho Mayor or Of tho Common Council The sole limit
upon the powers Of the heads Of these departments
limit regard TO the aggregate amouDtof annual ex.
pendurc Of money by each To control this provided
that gross sum shall be annually estimated and ap-
proprated for the expenditure of each department;

OF the Mayors office in terms fixed by the Charter

Board OF Apportionment there provided Board OF

The Common Council, as legislators, have power only
the paving, Tagging, aud regulation OF the use OF
streets the erecting Of for and beast and
the inspecting OF weights and measures Inc e1ensSe
commented upon
NOBODY RESPONSIBLE"
It will thus be that the Mayor is stripped Of all
executive power, and the Common Council OF about all
legislative power This naked recital is perhaps in itself
the best statement OF objections to the whole theory or
the proposed charter tf experience in municipal gov
erninent In this country and Europe has taught any
raed in one ipdyene and tSs power Should be ham
pered with but very few RESTRICTIONS In TINS way
single officer be held to rigid accountability by the
people and the frequency elections affords ample
opportunity for such prompt reward OF sncn prompt
rebuke Of this officer he merit. It s also true
that municipal experience has tanght the necessity
OF clothing the local legislative boards wth ample pow
ers thus only membership in such boards be made
worthy the ambition Of the best men In the eommu
Dy and thus only the residents OF cities De brought
TO appreciate necessity of selecting good men for
such Offices
Charter proposed utterly ignores this cardinal
principle IL provides for eleven independent executives
for the several administrative bureaus IL attempts TO
fulh In itself all the legislative needs OF the city Tor all
time and recognizes In the most important bureau
that OF Public WOrksthe necessity OF single head
but IL ignores this necessity elsewhere. II recognizes
the ability OF the people 10 elect aarusworthy Board OF
Aldermen by giving to this board the mporta8t power
Of appointment fails give them the usual powers
Of the Office To detect any wrong working OF the COM
pcated machinery thus provided 10 emDodes In minute
detail system Of ingenious devices made up OF sugges
ions from every quarter The result may be eredable
in point of perfection of mechanism but 10 can claim no
other credit Tried by the tests already stated II fails In
every requirement Of a municipal charter.
