EVENING STAR. LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. Oprsiom or THE CORPORATION AtToRNBY It will be remembered that the Board of Al- dermen at its meeting of the 25th of August, passed the following resolution : “ Whereas, by And third section of the char- ter of 1820, the Mayor is authorized to ‘‘nomi- nate, and, with the consent of the Board of Aldermen, int to all offices under the Corporation ;” and whereas the Mayor of the city retains in office persons from the appoint- ment of which the consent of the Board of Aldermen has been withheld, and weeks have elapsed since that consent was refused, and a re-nomination of several of those persons to whose appointment the Board of Aldermen declined to “‘consent’’ has not been made: therefore Resolved, That the Secretary of this Board be directed to request the Attorney of the Corporation to communicate to this Board, at his earliest convenience, his opinion, in writing, in answer to the following interroga- tories: Ist What constitutes an officer of the Cor- poration? 2d. The Mayor being authorized “to ap- point persons to fill up vacancies which may occur during the recess of the Board of Al- dermen, to hold such appointments until the end of the then ensuing session,” does the interval between the regular meetings on each Monday, after the fourth Monday in June annually, authorized by a law of the Corpo- ration, constitute a recess in the sense in which it is employed in the charter? and, if 80, does not any office which may be filled by the appointment of the Mayor, during such recess, ‘* until the end of the then ensuin, session,’’ become vacant unless such appoint shall be nominated to the Board of Aldermen “atthe then ensuing session ’”’ and if the office thus become vacant, can it again be filled without the consent of the of Al- dermen? 3d. In the event of a nomination by the Mayor and the rejection of the same by the Board of Aldermen, and a repetition of the same from week to week, is the Corporation bound for the payment of the salary to said nominations? | 4th. Does a nomination by the Mayor enti- tle any person to the salary affixed to the salary affixed to the office to which he may be nominated ?”’ Theze inquiries reached the office of the Corporation Attorney during his absence from the city, but on his return prompt attention was given to them, and the fillowing answers returned accompanied by anable train of rea- soning upon which his conclusions are founded, and by citations from the highest authorities in support of the same conclusions : “1. The first “interrogatory”’ calls upon me for the legal definition of ‘‘ an officer of the Corporation ?’’ Ts this I might reasonably object, as nothing is more difficult in my pro- fession than to construct a definition of an ab- stract legal idea composed of a number of ele- ments. Traces that the cases referred to were not specified Nevertheless, with great diffi- dence, I submit the followiag : . An officer of this Corporation is one who is lawfally charged with the authority and duty to execute the laws of the Corporation in any department thereof, it being understood that such authority and duty are in their nature permanent and general, as contradistinguished trom the authority and duty of a mere contrac- tor, servant, or laborer, engaged by agree- ment for a particular work or service To the second “ interrogatory’’ [ reply : That the charter contemplated one or more distinct stated sessions in the year. to be con- tinued by adjournments until the close of such session or sessions respectively. That the number of these sessions was left to the discretion of the Corporation, to be prescribed by ordinance. That the act of 1832 (re-en- acted June 3, 1853,) makes, in addition to the second Monday in June; each and every Mon- day, from the fourth Monday in June to the last Monday in May, inclusive, the beginning of a distinct stated session. That there is a recess between stated sessions, whenever the Board adjourns leaving the time of its re-as- sembling to be prescribed by law. That the appointments made by the Mayor during such recess endure until the next following recess ; when, im the recess, the offices become vacant. That the Mayor is not bound by the charter to nominate to the Board to fill such vacancies, or any vacancies, at the first session of the Board after the same shall have occarred, but may, in the just exercise of a sound discretion and in good faith, continue to re-appoint tem- porarily, as he at first appointed temporarily, until he ean find such 4 nominee as will be equally acceptable to himself and to the Board, since neither has the power to compel the other to nominate or to confirm, (as the case may be,) each being wholly independent of the other and baving a distinct duty to perform. That when such re-appointments bave been made by the Mayor the offices are not vacant, but are lawfully filled by the ap- pointees. To the third “ interrogatory”’ I reply : That such re-appointments, after rejection, are within the legal competency of the Mayor, as hereinbefore explained; and that, of con- sequence, this Corporation is bound for the payment to the incumbents respectively of the sslaries attached by law to their respective offic: nd that the same can be recovered by actions at law, with interest and costs. To the fourth ‘‘ interrogatory”’ I reply : That a nomination by the Mayor joes not entitle the person nominated to the salary afized to the office. Nomination is one thing and appotntment is another and very differ- ent thing. A valid legal appointment alone entitles the officer to his salary, for it is only by appotntment that he becomes an officer. It he be lawfully appointed in the recess, we have seen that his subsequent nomination and confirmation do not terminate his appoint- meat. The nomination is simply a suggestion for the permanent appointment; when this is consented to, it remains for the Mayor to make the appointment, and it isentirely with- in bis discretion not to make it, although his nomination have been confirmed. i have the honor to be, sir, your most obe- dient servant, J.M Caruisze, Attoruey of the Corporation.

Sreavixa Exrraonpinary —Last Satur- day, a gentleman who owns a market farm near the city, sent his wagon to the Centre market, with a load of produce Upon the driver looking for the stand he found the bench had been moved. The owner searching for bis property, and found it at the Northern market, occupied by A warrant st of the person who bad the bench in possession. pre- duce is a common occurrence in the Centre market, but this is the first time we have heard of the heavy wooden benches being stolen and removed half a mile to another market. Gamecixc.—On Saturday night, Watchman Norwood received intelligence that a large number of colored persons were assembled at the house of a white man named Carroll. Ar- rangements were nade for a descent, and the watchman and officers eccceededin capturing seven persons with the keeper and a looker-ou. Justice Hollingshead entorced the law in every case, remarking to the offenders that ali such places ought to be broken up, and he would do all the law empowered him to assist in the work Suveciine.—Yesterday, early in the morn- ing, a gentleman went to the guard house to see a friend who was there confined. His manner was suspicious, and he was watched. It was soon discovered that he had two bot- tles io bis pocket, well filled with * hot stuff.’ He was permitted tooccupy thecell with bis friend, but the liquor was confiscated. Daxcinc —Mr. Lewis Carusi gives notice to the public of the re-opening of his dancing school.

Rarely niga ctadbination so bril- liant in talent been presented to this commn- nity, and the imposing success attending their two recent concerts at this Theatre satisfac- torily demonstrated the discerning taste of our public. Parodi, (who has soaresly 6 rival now actively before the world,) in addition to an sdmizabls seisciss ot operatic gems fuly calculated to devel er sic wets, will sing our national anthem, “ ie 8 8p: Banner,”’ and, from the effect at- tending its execution in every city where she has yet rendered it, we presume the delight of our citizens will in no wise fall short of the general enthusiasm. Young Paul Jullien, the most delightful, if not the first, violinist in the world. is announced for several popular and difficult arias; and Tiberini, whose supe- rior as tenor (Mario perhaps excepted) does not exist, renders his charming quota to the feast of music. A more pleasurable musical entertainment has never been offered our com- munity. The entertainment is limited to the single occasion on Thursday evening The Box-sheet will be open on Wednesday, at the Box Office of the Theatre, when seat? can be reserved. Tue Usty Civs.—Beauty is everywhere admired—the human face, the landscape, the heavens, and the productions of mechanic and artistic skill. Uglinessis never above par, though never below it. It holds its own, des- pite the fluctuations of the stock market And there are persons who philosophically make a virtue of necessity ; and this is seen in the fact that there is in existence an “Ugly Cluh,”’ not one with which to break heads, but to give exercise to the feet To-night they give a ball—not saw/—at Odd |Fellows’ Hall, Navy Yard. Every exertion, we are informed, will be used to make it one of the most agreeable of the season, a superior cotillon ban sans been engaged for the occasion, and supper an: confectionery confided to the hands of an ex- perienced caterer, A merry time they’ll havo, as in nights gone by ; and a practical illustra- tion will be afforded of the truth that there’s nothing in a mere name where abound merry hearts and warm social sympathies. A very oLp So.piz On Saturday night, aman calling himself James McDonald, was accommodated with lodgings at the watch- house He stated that he was one hundred and five years of age, and had walked from Philadelphia to Washington, requiring on the way but little to eat, and partaking in the way of liquids, of strong beer, mineral water and ‘“‘Adam’s ale’’ He has seen much mili- tary service, and fought at Badajos, and waa in the American army during the Revolution- ary. The object of his trip is to secure a home in the Military Asylum; and in this, we presume, he will be gratified, if he can establish his claim to the character which he claims. His hair is white; his steps are not 80 feeble as would be supposed for one of his age ; and the veteran possesses but one eye. His general appearance, and the fact that he is one of the remaining few who battled in the country’s cause, secured for him the re- spect of all who saw him at the watch house. Naw Ricart or Surrrace.—The citizens of Washington will have the opportunity of voting for President of the United States, a privilege they never before enjoyed, by at- tending the exhibition at Odd Fellows’ Hall to-merrow evening, where a vote will be taken for candidates to the Presidency, and the re- sult announced. The poll tax on this occa- sion will be reduced to twelve-and-a-half cents. Cheap enough for every body to vote. RevivaLs.—The protracted meeting at the Methodist Protestant Church, Ninth street, continues with unabated interest. Rev. Messrs. Shreeve. Nichols, Coates, and Wilson (the last named the pastor of the church) have been conducting the services. The pro- tracted meeting also continues at the McKen- dree Chapel, and one has been commenced by the Wesley Chapel hese oro temporarily occupying old Trinity Church Counrgrreit Coin. —We have been notified that quite alarge number of counterfeit twen- ty-five cent pieces are circulating in this city. A specimen of them was exhibited to us, and the imitation of the genuine is so exact that the wringing of the metal was all that would lead us to suspect a fraud. Upon aclose in- spection however, we discovered on the edge a small ridge that does not appear cn the gen- oe coin. The pieces parport to be struck in 1852. improper Conpuct -Yesterday, some young gentlemen who had indulged a Jittle too freely in strong drink behaved very improperly, promenading through the principal streets, arm lo arm, and using very indecent language. Some of them were arrested, but being stran- gers in Washington, and promising to go and sip DO More, were permitted to depart.
