Resdectfully, J. Gipgon. Washington, Jane 11, 1855. Mr Bayly presented the following protest of John C Fitzpatrick, against the admission —— C. Busey to a seat at the board, a follows : Wasaiveron, Jyne 11, 1855 To the President of th» Board of Aldermen of Washington City: Sir: By the returns of the commissioners off election of the Fifth Ward of this city, of th election held the 4th inst, for officers and’ members of the Councils for the city and for that ward, it appears, among other things. that there were given at that election, for Alderman—for Samuel C. Busey 312 votes, and for John C Fitzpatrick 298 votes. It alzo appeare, by a list which was made at th- same time, and signed by all three of said commissioners, (but which was omitted to be returned in their report,) that 18 other per sons presented themselves at the polls of said ward, and demanded to be permitted to vote, and thatthey were refused ‘‘on accountpf wot being naiuralized one year before the election’? And it also further appears by affidavits of those personz, that they intend to vote and wou'd have voted the entire tioke! known and distinguished as the “Anti-Know Nothing ticket;’’ and cones qaen'ly that I would thon have received such a numberof votes for Alderman that would have been a majority of all the votes given for that office. And it also appears by the afiidaviteof sun- dry other persons who offered to vote and whose names were not upon the list, that they teo would have voted the said ticket, and that my majority would thereby have been in- creased. Claiming, therefore, that the said jist ought to be and is a part of the returns of said commissioners, and that all of said affi. davits are to be regarded as so many votes given for me, I demand that they be includ ed in the said returns of said commissioners, and that I am justly and legaliy entitled to theseat in the Board of Aldermen from the Fifth Ward, for the term commencing in Jane, 1855; and I do hereby vehemently protest against the holding or cceupying of that seat by Samuel C. Busey, or any person whomzoer- er other than myself. The list and affidavits above mentioned are ready to be laid before the Board or before such committee as it may appoint to investi- gate the matters and things berein set forth. Respectfully submitted : dno. C. Pirzparnic, Alderman elect for Fifth Ward. These eaid protests wore then referred tothe committee on elections, when appointed. Qn motion of Mr. Magruder, the rules of the last session were adopted. _ The Board then took a recess, to meet in joint session in the chamber of the lower Board. After the juint mecting the Aldermen re- turned to their chamber, and adjourced until the 25:h ingt , at 4 o’clock in the afternoon Common Counctl —There was an usueually large number of spectators present, attracted to the chamberb the meeting of the new Board of Common Council The secretary of the former board, ( harles P. Lowrey, called to order at 10 o’cloek, and read the proclamation of the Mayor, pub lished on Wednesday last, announcing the re- sult of the recent municipal election. All the members elect were then sworn in by John 8. Hollingshead, E2q. The secretary then announced the first busi Ress in order to be the election of President of the board. Messrs. Fuller and Ruff were appvinted ers. The board having voted, by ballot, the re- sult was declared as follows: Alex. McD Davis, 14; William Orme, 4; J. T. Clements, 1. Mr. is was therefore declared duly elected, and waa conducted to the chair by the —— en assuming the duties of which he said: Gentlemen of the Common Couneil : I thank you for the honor which you have bee confer- red upon me, and I promise you a faithful and impartial discharge of the duties which the important trust devolves. I trust that the session will be harmonious, and that our de- liberations will resul: to the benefit of the public, and the advancement of the interests of the Corporation The election of Secretary was next an- nounced, and Messrs. Orme and Walker wore appointed teller The result was: C F. Lowrey, 15; K. Barry, 5 Mr. Lowrey was, therefore, declared duly lected, and took the oath of office. In the case of Messenger, the balloting was dispensed with, and Mr. Jacob Kleiber was Unanimously declared the Messenger of the joard for the enauiag term. On motion of Mr. At Lee, a committee was ordered to be appointed to inform the Board of Aldermen that the Board of Common Coun- cll had organized, and was ready to proceed to business. The Chair appointed Messrs. At Lee and Abert, as the committee; and they at once performed the duty assigned to them. Mr. Abert rose to present the psperz—one from Thomas Hutohingson, and the other from J W. Meade of the Fifth Ward—contesting seats in this board. and moved that they bo Teferred to the committee on elections The Presisent—No sush committee has yet been appointed. — Orme—Send them toa special comuit- e.

Mr. Busey cfferod a resolution, that acom mittee be appointed to examine and report the result of the election in the several wards on Monday the fourth of June for register, col- lecter and surveyor. by adding, Mr Magruder moved to amend, “and that the committee consist of one from In this form the resolution was adopted; and the following named gentlemen appointed as the committee: From the First W rd, Mr. Dove; Second, Mr Orme; Third, Mr er; Fourth, Mr. Clements; Fifth, Mr. Busey; Sixth, Mr. Ruff, and from the Seventh, Mr. J.

McKeax —It will be resol- lected tha: Mr. MoKean denied in the Organ of Friday last that hie leiter to the Intelli- gencer edmitted the binding force of the ac- tion of the Circuit Court in the Gruen case, whereupon the Intelligencer ‘setl. bis hash.” We quote from the article in ques- tion a3 follows: “That the public may be enabled to form a prrect opinion as to the extentof the injustice hich we inadvertently inflicted on this com- wainant, ws now give place to the entire let- which he placed in our hands on Thurs- jay-evening. It is as follows: “<GENTLEMEN: My attention has been drawn to an article in your paper of this merning, (June 7.) in which it te ated that the commissioners of the election ‘ disregarded the decision of the Circuit Court.” I do as- sure you, genilemen, that such is not the fact. For myseif, and I venture to ak for the other two commi<siouers of the Fourth Ward, Lassert that we were not informed, officially cr otherwire, that the court had made a deci- sion un'il about six o'clock in the evening, ben one of the comumizsioners obtained a paper (1 think the Star) in which there was an ticle purporting to be a decision of the court in the cise argued on the previous Saturday. Had the court assumed jurisdiction to instruct ‘He commiscioners of election the order would ave been promptiy obeyed, and, I feel justi- fied in saying, by the commissioners of all the ards The court having declined to instruct he commissioners, they were of maceezity loft o their own judgment, and. as sworn ¢fficers, act ‘ traly ard faithfully, according to the pest of their judgment and understanding ad not knowin s!y re'urn the vote of any per- om who is not levally entitled to the same.’ Having performed that duty as I had swern to do, and conscientiously fealing that I have wronged mo wan by depriving him of his just rights, and believing that you desire to sus. taim truth and justice against calumny and falsehood, induces me to trouble you with this note. Humble as I am, and unworthy as t may be thought to b> by those who are go lib- eral in their abuse of the commissioners, still 1 place myself high above thom in conscious rectitude. Hespectfuliy yours, “June 7, 1855. Jauss P. McKzay.’ “Every reader can determine for himself bat would be a plain and an honest interpre. ion of this letter, the purport of which, as explained by ite author, we endeavored to state in the paragraph first above quoted; and there is no reader of the letter, we think, who will not be surprised to learn, what Mr. McKean has subsequently informed us, that his tatention was to deny that the Court had made nny decision that was bindiog upon the Commissioners. Or, in other words—se we prefer to express it—because, in the then con- dition of things, (the election being in pro- press and the Commissiouers not being minis- terial officers,) the Court had no power to enforce its opinion as to the rights of voters, the Commissioners were absolved from paying any respect to ic. Had this position been taken in the letter, or been orally stated to us, our readers may be assured that it would have found no plece in our columns, lest it would have placed us in the category of those whoare denounced in the letter as falsifiers and calumniatore. “A compliance with the opinion of the Cir. cuit Court, whioh is the highest exponent of lawin this District, would not have violated the oath taken by the Commissioners, as may be seen by the form of that oath, quoted in the body of Mr. McKean’s letter. As the oath cimply restrains the Commissioners from knowingly returning any illegal vote, they would certainly have been justified, even in the judgment of their party friends, in re- ceiving the votes of sach persons as the Court, after he: ing able arguments on both sides of the q jon. had deliberately pronounced to be legal voters. “ We may add, in conclusion, that we have Bo meats of ascertaining the truth of the ramors afloat as to the number of votes re- jected at the various polls, or of any other of the charges of unfairness in eonducting the election.« But we feel satisfied that the gen- eral belief and deep feeling of the defeated party on the one cide, and the fair fame of tho members of the successful party on the other, both demand a calm and dispassionate investigation of the subject, and consequent cessation of the criminations and reorimins- tions that disturb the harmony of the com- munity.” 0 CS No 20 Sonn nee we pub- lished an account of an ir on Fifteenth street, in the driver of the Georgetown omnibus No. 25 lashing the lead horse of a stage severely, &c. Our allusion to the affair ceused it to be investigated by the proprietor of the line, and also by the large number o! drivers in hisemwployment. We are glisd to learn that entirely disinterested proof was ad- duced, showing beyond question that the course pursued by the driver who had been blamed was abalutely necessary to save the life of a horse in each vebicle, if not of the passengers in each I; seems that by the breaking of one of the breast ehains of the omnibus, when in close juxtaposition with the st a horse ef the former got over the ““whitie-tree” behind him, when the stage came down upon him, and he became entangled also with the near horse of the other vehicle, which fell on him, crusbing him to the earth. The lashing was to compel the stage horss to Tise instantly, withort breaking limbs of the animal under him, that was entan- gied with the omnibus, threatening eminently | to upset both vehicles.

Invanticips —This morning, the citisens in the neighborhood of north Sixth and L streets, were shocked with the spectacle of a new born child, tound in that vicinity; the mouth split open on one side, and several punctures. supposed by some persons to be stabs, in the back. A coroner’s inquest was held, and after a deliberate inqairy into the affair, a verdict was rendered in accordance with the facts, with an expression of the be- lief that the child came to its death, in conse- quence of foul means, by some person or per- sons to the jary unknown.
