If thoy wanted to pass an ordinance which wonld be valid and binding, not ouly to get money now, but to eusble them to collect the tax when tax-fightors came to oppose it, thoy must be caroful that it was passedin a logat and valid mauner.

Watermsa said if they could postpone tho canvass fur tho purpose of taking up oue ordiuance, and an ontiroly now ono, a4 he uu- doratood, they could postpono for any amouut of business, and thoro would be no lmit as to whan thiey should completa the count.

Campbell was of opiuion that 1t would be impugm to tix & $imo for thiy, insemuch ss the City Clork might not be abla to procure the sig- natures required. Ald.

Ald White moved, a8 an _amendmant, that the cauvsss bo mado a special order for » weok from Mondn{ at ¥ o'clock, Ald. Thidroth would amend this by making it the tirst order of business on that syening. Ald. Whito sccopted thoe smendment, Ald. Caso #aid the poople Lad emphatically declarad they should atap down and out, and he wasdinposed todo so. The movamant to postpons was simply to aldow of tho tranaaction of unsi- nens which the peoplo did not want them to do. 'ru? cauvass otight to be completed 3onday nigLL. Ald.

For bls part, hie wished the busness to ba straightened up beforo the new Aldermen camo 1. Ald.

Mo for ono would gladlv have done o, but be felt compalied to remaiu to watch those peopls who were dosirous of doing buriness which tho voters in shunder-tones bhad declared thoy did not waut them to do, The poople demanded that overything sbould be placod fu tne Lauds of their now represonta- tives, and bo desircd that they should do the sork and bear the responeibility, He had been oppoecd from tho outsot to dolug auything but cauvassing the vote.

Ald. Titzgorald—If wo hod Lad any respect for public opinton we would have stepped down and out mix monthe ago, [Laughter, Ald. Waterman—I think a great many of us ought to havo done so, 1 Afl)ly this just 'se the public applied it. [Revewed laughter.] Tho Chairmav, 8aid, a3 ha understood the charter, it provided that afler the election the roturns should be immediately canvacred. The Council had proceeded in ascrordance with that provision, sud had got through with tho can- vags, but had ascortalned that signatures woro wanting to soveral of the returns, and had thon ordered that the Clerk should pro- ouro those signatures. It was tho duty of the Counci etther to givo thoe judges aud clerks of election the privilege of correcting_tho returus or to refuse to canvaes them. The Board of Canvassers generally gave such an opporiuunity, and Lo considored it no moro than proper, Tha Aldermay from the Twolfth moved that the com- pletiou of the canvasa bo mado the epecial order for Monday ovemiug. Tlat, in bis judgment, was 1o accordanco with the splrit of the chartor, and sny motion to postpone further was cer- tainly pot in accordanco therewith, and the Chair, notwithstanding the opinton of the Law Douartment, would rule agamst tho latter mo- tiou, If tho returna sere not correctad by Monday night it would then ba 1n order to con- mider whether the caovass aliould bo further postponed, ‘The motion to be disposed of was that of Ald. Waterman to make the canvasy tho special order for Alouday evening noxt. ALD.

He did not thiak that tho election indicated, or that the intelligent people of the city expected, that the Council would proceod in an oxtraordiuary wayto make tho cauvass, The exigencies of tho eity wero not such as to comj.o! them to sit all mzbt aud tho noxt day until the canvass was completod and spread ou the record, and then for them to tako their bats aud run. That was absurd. Cer- tain poutlemen, however, had indicated that that was the proper coutse to adopt, Tuov were not supposed to act hke echool-boys stoaling apples in n enso of this kind, Ho was 10 favor of gotting through just as quickly ay possible in the ordinary way of doiug businesa. There was a number of orpinauces pending which might bedisposed of beforethe new Coun- cll came ig, and be was certainly not in favor of loaving any unfishod bueiness ot hand.
