The examination of Gen. Licb was thon te- sumed by Mr. Le Mosne, He deposed that he received tho afldnvits from the judges of elec- dion of the First Precinct, Twentieth Ward. Thoy wero seated, had nover boon opened, and wero now in his possession, Mr. Lo Moyne then asked witness to open the package proparatory to {heir oxamination: Mr. Van Buren— object to tho package boing opened by the witness until fret examined by tho judges of olection of that proeinet mo vealed the same with their seals and dolivered it vo realed to witness, that thoy may ascertain, by examination of tho senla of said package, whether th rame bag been opened and the seals disturbed since tha package was delivered by thom to the witne: ‘ Mr. Lo Moyne asked somo further questions about the sola of tho package, and agaiu re- quested that it be opened. Mr. Van Buron repeated his objection, Gen, Lieb then opened tho package, when Mr. Von Buron protested against any part of the contents boing handled or examined by any ouo, rapecially the contestant. TIE EXAMINATION OF TI AFFIDAVITS was thet: proceeded with.

How abOUT THAT 81,000 cLars? That virtuous and bighly-intelligent body, tho Judieiary Committeo of the Common Council, hay now a firat-rato oplortunity to make an ox- planation, which Mr. Bichardson, as Cuairman, will please ariso anddo, Ioro in a littlo bit of history which needs just as much light as Mr. Nichardson and his colleagues will be kind enough to shod. Ayear ago last December a woman fell and broke her wrist. Along in September came au attornoy with a petition, sctiing forth that tho woman was poor, and unable to support herself and family in her affliction, Contrary to all precedent, the potition waa referred tothe Ju- diciary Committco, instead of the Committes on Finance. When tho former body had tufiiciently discussed it, o report was mado recommending tho payment of $1,000 damages to tho unfortunate woman. It came up in the Council a week ago Monday night, and a motion was mado to waive the en- groxstont and pass tho necossary order. This barefaced attempt failed, and the report was re- ferred for engrossment. On the,day fullowing, tholattention of City- Attorney iexon was called to the matter, and jie wes heard to cay several things unusually emphatic. He stated that he had given decimoa in thin cane, but bad decided that the city way not liable, aud slould not pay the wo- min accent of damages, On examining tho report, this opinion could not bo found, but, after some senreh, it way diseovored pasted to tke back of the report in such a manner as to be illegible, By holding it up to tho light, Mr. Jamieson was ablo to decipher his own writitue, Tn making their report the Comunictco said they had gat tho facts in the case from Mr, Strunk, on gesielant in tho Law Departmont. Mr, Strunk oa being questioned xnid thet he had given-vo information, und, moreover, drow up au allidavit, to that eifect. The report came up again Monday night. When read by tho Clork, Ald. Stone called for the opinion of the City Attorney upon the claim. ‘The Clerk looked tur the opiniou, and report- ed that ho could not find it. Cousiderablo interest began to be folt in the matter at this juncture, when Ald. Hichardsva rose to explain that the Law Departinent tind fiven an opmion recommending the payment; that Mr. Struuk had given the Commitieo the facts, and that thero was no occasion for all this fus# abont a little matter of $1,000, ‘Tho missmg opinion of the City Attorney had meanwhile boon found pasted upon the Commit. tee’s report, and Ald, Richardson explained that curious circumstance, also, a8 an inadvertonec. Theruupon Ald, Stono produced tho affidavit of the usristant, Mr. Strunk, denying the state- ment that he had given any informution to the Judiclary Committee. A notion was immediately mado to refer tho matter to tho Finance Committes, and way put toa voto, whon Ald. Richardson called tu tho Council to bold on, and, if €1.000 was too much, to give at leart $500, ‘Tho ontreaty fell upon deaf cars, By vote of 20 to 9 tho matter wan sent to tho Committoo on Finance. In view of the many ‘inadyertonces” displayed by Ald. Richardson, will that eminent and incorruptible nrist oblige an inquiring constituency with » ttle more light? What was hin percentage ; what that of his colleagues in the Committoa ? —»-—_ ACADEMY OF SCIENCES, PROCEEDINGS OF THU ANNUAL MEETING, The annual meeting of the Chicago Academy of Sciences was hold last ovening at its rooms, No, 263 Wabash ayonue, Dr, H.
