COUNTY CLERR'S RMPLOTES, Under the head of unfinlshed busincss the resolutions instructing the County Clerk to pay his ¢mployes out of the fees of his oflice was taken un. Mr. Senne spoke to tho resolation, and sald it was feasible, and cited an array of figures to establish his position, showing that if the Treas- urer would pay the fees over to the Clerk rromptly—the fees earned by tho County Clerk ~—the latter could pay his emploges vut of them, He did not want to sce the money o in the hands of the Treasurer and the poor employes forced to pedidie their enunty orders and dispose of them at o discount when they could be paid 4 eash. Mr. 8pofford sald the resolutlon looked unfair to Wm,—as discriminating agoinst the best-con- ducted oflice and the miost efllcient officer in the county. The County Clerk's oflice had been economically run, and If one oflice was to pay its employes out ol its eartiugs, ho wanted all to do the same. Tho resolution was finally referred to the Fi- nance Commitree.

H. Wright at his bid of ning cents per gailon for the Hospital and 10 cents por gal'on lor the In- manc Asylnm: that the contract for mcet bo given toJohn Ford at hfs bid of £4.45 per 100 vonnds; amd that the contract for bread bo glven to Fred Voltz at his bid of $1.42}¢ per 100 vounds. ratrick Mulerons was the low- est bidder for meat, but the Committee was satistied that he could not farnish & good nrticle mt Nis bid (4 cents), and his proposi- tlon had not been considered, it being ragarded as bogus, and the bidder irresponsible. The re- port was ll{{nc\l by Messrs. Coburn, Stewart, Ayars, and Bocee, Mr. Hoffman submittea a minorits report ree-’ ommending that the contract for meat ha mado to Patrick O'Donnetl, on the ground that ho was an honest man, charitable, and had given gencral satisfaction, and, beside that, his bid was the lowest, as lie clrimed, Accompauying the report was a letter from Mr. O'Donnell, fu sehiich he antd_ that bis bid was lower than Mr. Ford's, and that all computations to the con- trary were crroncous, and thut the fact was that his average proposition was to furnish meat at §4.30 per 100 pounds, vle. Mr, Coburn moved the adoption of the ma- Jority report. MEAT, Mr, Fitzrerald moved ns a substitute the ndoption of the minority report, and spoke loud and long. He thought the Committee had gono to a great deal of trouble, sud had set up at night to blacken Mr, O'Donneli’s character,—a taxpayer, an honest man, and one who had been a faifhiful contractor. “After defending Mr, O'Donnell ot somo length, and urging the making of the award to him, he sallled into Mr, Ford, sayine that ho was ot naturalized, dld not pay any taxes, had been doing business in his * wite's nmne, cte, and w not respousible, Ile 'maintained that i lio were given the sward he would sub-let the contract for supplying the Insane Asylum and Pour-Ilouse to a man named Diamond, who hind 8 bid in for the entiro contract In Ford's fnterest, Just as it was enid that Mulcrone had in a Wd in O'Donnell's Intcrest. Forl had dressed lis market up with the best cat he could get to meet the Committee's eves, he sald, and_did not pronoss to furnish any such ficef ns he hiad exhibited, and, turning to Mr. Coburn, hio asked bim i€ he belleved that would, ete, Mr, Coburn—Ha promised to furnlsh just such meat, uud I bollevs e will, Mr, Fitzzerald—Theu you are a bigger fool than Ford Is, for he eatnot furnlsh awy such ment, [Laughter.] Mr, Fitzecruld continued at somo leneth In his attack upon Ford, and said in couclusion that hie knew of lls (Ixing up his market two doys before tho Committce culled upou bim, whicther they did or not. Mr. Ayors wanted to know how O'Donnell figured Lhat his bld was $4.30, but no one could ongwer hhn, and then he went on to contend thiat the £4.30 oroposition was a new bid, and | ' Donnell was to be allowed 1o make a uew bid the otliers should, Mr., Coburn replled to Mr, Fitzgerald's alle- gatlons, and after deuying that Mr, Ford was not nataralized, aml coucedine that ho hod dong business in his wife's name (but was now doing business In his own), read rotie strone Indorse- ments of Mm, concluding by stating that he did not bropose to sub-lct any part of the contract, and had promiecd that if he ot the award he would furnish the same quality of meat Lo was furnishing the botcls, ete, Mr, Bradley was not In favor of cither of the reports, beeause there wus a lower bidder,— Patrlek Mulerone, 1lo asked AMr. Coburn it Mr. Mulcrone's pace had been svlsited. Mr. Coburo—We could not flud Mulerone,— aid not look for him. Mr. Bradiey replied that the Committee had not dono {ts duty, for Mr. Mulcroue was a reputsble business man, wud the directory showed that he had s plave on West Lake street. Je wanted both reporta recommitted, and all hiddera treated fmpartially, and if Mul- crono gave suiliclent hond he wanted to see him get the contract, because ho was the low- est bidider, Mr, Wheeler was astonished that some person had ot put in nlower bid thau any of those pamed, bug it was all nonsense to falk about Ford or any ouo else furnishing tirst-clasa meat at the prices proposed to be pald, There were persons who could furuish meat at 9 cents, hut it would notbo fitto ent, Iewanted to pee the poor peapie given good, wholesome. sound ment, and, whaile he voted agoinst j0'Douncil laat y ear because he wantad bids invited, he bo- fleved the connty had heets houestly and cheap. 1y supplied. e _hnd hieard no complaints from nny source, and calied upon Mr. Spofford, Clinfrman of the Committceon Publle Chari- ties, to grivo his experience in° deating with tho contractur lnst year. Mr, Spofford said ho was astonished st the tion of the Committee fu overlooklng tho vid of Mulerone. He hadsupposed they would look up all the bidders, but the very lowest, it ap- poars, hiad Leen pi Ly unnoticed, and ns unworthy of notice. To hils personal knowledire Mr. O’Donnell hnd been s falthful contractor, und ho had followee hiin alinost vindictively to fnd ohit whether he Lad given good ment and pound for pound, utki ind even sent #hles after him, but hu had never fonud anything wrong, After tho bidas were opiencd ho went and asked Oonnell to firure up hits average bid, and 1t was $4.30, sud he wos sstonished “that o bad buen attacked as he had, and that Loth bls bid and that of Mulerone had been cast asido and the Committee had recomtueuded the award toa bigaer bidder. The {dea of any one furnisbtur for 2445 the same meat thut was furnished the hotels for 811 was proposterous, ~il was n fraud on its face. It secmed, how- over, that the Commitiee had intended to grive the contract to o certuin person, aud they had done it os far os was tu thelr power, Mr. Coburn sald proniinent butchers had told him thut rood meatcoulid not be furnlshied for leas than $4.50, aud this was one of th reasons why Mulerono’s bid lad not been considered, {lo sald “Doc Qarduer had come to him Thurs- duy Tast, and offered him §1,000 In the interest of 0'Dotunell 1o bold back his figures trom the Comuilttee showing that Ford was the lowess bidder, ete. Mr. Flizeerald—tlo was after me, too, and waos in fuvor of Ford, (Lauszhter.) Mr, Coburn continued by saylug that he was callea on azain Batunlay by another party, and informed that Gunlner ind told o masu that he (Coburs) could be purchased for 81,000 to vote fur O'Danncll, aud “he (Coburn) told bim tuat ba was not tuat kind of a man. [Avplause,) Mr. Fitzgeratd asked Mr. Colnrn who this wan Garduer wag, and Mr. C. replied that he had knowu bitn for several vears, and he had been {u the lex knd arm hustucss, but he did not. kuow what he was now doiug, Alr. Fitegerald then went on to say that Mr, O'Donnell did not know Gardner, and, if be did know = him, lWe would have nothing to do with + ‘him, e was astontshed” ot Mr, . Coburn using such a man es Gurdoer to tear dowa the reputation of Mr, O’'Dounetl, But Mr. Coburn had mll{ tuld ona lde uf the story, and for sumu cause had fajlod o eay how much Mr. Ford hed putup, [Ap- plause.] Tlo hud been told that bie was to put up 38,000 or 20,000 for the coutract, and that two or three Commnlssloners wero 1o baudlo the money, [Avplause.] Ilebad taken uo atock in the report, however. Mr. Hoilinaun soid since he had submitted the minonity report, aud ctiarges of attempts at bribery had been mudo sgainst O'Douncll, that b (Hoffann) biad uever been uvproached by biiui or any one else, and whoevor Intmated anything of sthe kind was on infamous lsr.

Record of Judgments, New Buits, Crimis nal Businest, Ete. 1In the case of the City va. David A, Gage, Mr. Bonfield, Corporation Counsel, yesterday after noon made a motfon before the Appellate Coure to have the order in the case changed so os te allow an appeal to the Supremo Coart at once, He said the decision was {n its nature final, and he suggested that the order reversing aud re- mauding should be changed to a reversal only, 80 that the vity could prosccute an appesl. ile had no further evidence to introduce on the queation of the blank bond, and, as to the cffect of not filing the bond In fifieen days, the Court had decided agsinst the city, The only thing that would be left would be to permnit the Cours below to Instruct the city vut of eourt, Judge Murphy sald that was true, but it mignt be error not to send the case back, and so de- prive the city of au opportunity of Introducine more cvidence to prove Iis case. It was not evident that the city could not make a hetter cate. The Bupreme Court might say it was erTor to refuse (o consont to send the case back, and give the city an opportunity to introduce further evidence. It might aleo say that tho fatlure to give fifteen days' notice was mnot enounl to reverse, but that thie decialon might be reversed on the other point. Mr. Bonfleld sugeested that if the clty would not take advautage of the errur he dId not sup- poso anylody etse could. Judge Murphy thought if the cose was als Towrd to o to the Bupreme Court, fu Justico to the Appellato Court it should @o on its merits, and o that no point could bs made on the fall. ure to remnand., Mr. 8tdney Smith, the asrociate counsel la the case, sugrested that as the law had been Iafd down by the Court there was no use fif go- inz back agaln. There wus no pretense that th bond was filed within the fifteen days; the rec. ords uf thecity showed that: it was a matter of recordand not of proofl. Again, If notice to the City Clerk was notica to tho city, it was abeurd 1o sunpose the city could disprova thac the Clerk hud such knowledge. The city had suggested that it did not wisl to have the cuse jemanced, becanse it wonld ho utterly useleas, but at the same time it ald not wish to consent to such order, hecause the other nide misht come fn and plead swalver of errors. If the case wav remanded It would be years before 18 way tried azatn, the deciston would bo the sunce, anil then fowonld come to the Apnellata Conrt in the same form as before, [t would be a yery barren virtory to have the Bupreme Court sny that the law as laid down by the Appoliste Court war correct. but toreverso the case sltnply 1t ounht to have bee remanded. ‘The Judge suggested that some stipulation shonld be tnade between the purtics to walveuny error, Mr. Smith thourht' there wonld be no objes- tlon to the city walving auy ervor In falling to remand. The Judge thought the record should be ul- Jowed to stand us it was, and that {t should then bo mada to apnear that the city had made a motion to iave the order chianged. 2 This was ngreed to, aud Iater In the day the motion was flled, and the order raade aliowlnyg the appeal.
