large number Of important bins In reference tho
city Of Now York have been quietly shown around during
the past three four days. The important Of these
the bill 10 amend the charter Of the city Of New York
This bill wss brought up the FIRST Of the week shown
four or i've persons confidence and then taken back
TO New York 70 submit certain notifications 10 Mayor
Opdyke is reported that those interested in this
measure have already commenced the formation Of
a Ring TO secure its passage, at the head O
which are Mayor Opdyke and David Dudley
Field ON the outside, and Henry J. Raymond
the inside This charter has been drafted by parties
who had the benefit OF the investigation made by the
Charter Commissioners appointed last winter Some Of
these gentlemen appointed the committee in that
mission attended to their duties and made thorough
investigation Of all points bearing upon the particular
point which they selected look after But owing
to the fact that the politicians the commission for
motives Of their own did not attend prevented quorum
at any time The facts CLEANED, however, have been
made Of by outside parties and the result char
has been drafted by Mr.. Field In connection with
two three other persons, which proposes radical
changes The Board of Aldermen to be elected in the
same form that the Supervisors at present-six
elected and spponted-and the Boardgof Councilmen
twenty in number to be elected general ticket
The real milk in the will be found in the section
providing for the control of the different departments
gives to the Mayor the appointment Of all the heads Of
departments, in the following manner Should
the Aldermanic Board reject the first man
named, the Mayor is to. send in tho second
1t thus give the Aldermen the choice out Of two
named by the Mayor, and should the second be re-
ected then the Mayor permitted to appoint without
the confirmation of the Aldermen, the person thus ap
pointed TO hold office for the term Of four years This
the point that will contest. We are unable TO
say what plans has regard checks the expend
ture OF money Before any charter is adopted there
should be provision inserted containing system of
checks and guards like that existence in the State
Department at Albany Of the most perfect systems
the country.


As to the other charters that have brought up
unable to give any az their provisions All these bills are
yet sb No notice has been given Of their ntroduc
on In either branch of the Legislature 1t is also
cd that bill will be presented early next week re-
model the Board Of Supervisors reduce their number

Tho track Is also being quietly laid down
for running bill through the Legislature ex.

rection OF the savings and other bank officers securing
their signatures to petitions setting forth tho honesty Of
