Soon after a drunken or crazy female visited the same locality, and amongst other acts of viol-nce smashed the windows of a house, near the spot where the drunken man was laid, with bricks andstones Shethen walked off. Windows have been broken in the same square within the week, and similar misdeeds performed by a ed of unruly boys, whose yells and profanity indi- cate thelr presence with sufficient distinctness to all but the police of the district.

It wasa mere form dive dignity to the office. The late Corporation, acting under the advice of able counsel, had administered the gath to Mr. Addison once, twice and three times. The last time Mr. A. was so excited that he (Mr. Stake) dreaded to see him clasp the Bible. Mr. Crawford was a dignified, bigh-toned rentleman, not isigto be excited. He (Mr S.) bed ahigh r Mr. Addison. He was an able man, 88 well fitted to be Mayor as any other; “but,” said Mr. Stake, ‘‘ Mr. Crawford has the same ca- pacity in my judgment” He then spoke of the action of the late rds when he was in a minor- ity, and had to remain silent; but said that by no act of his, then and since, had he ized Mr. Addison as Mayor. He then argued that Mr. Ad- dison not being legally Mayor, bis acts were not legal; that tax payers bad refused to pay taxes while be was ac! ;. that Mr. Crawford would have to legalize all Mr. Addison's acts, or the Corporation would get into trouble; and that Mr. Crawford therefore ought to be recognized by this Corporation as Mayor. Under the provisions of the charter, according to good legal advice, we ey to oaie eee and swear him nin of the two boards. A higher court } ag ey than had decided in bis favor, and we must humbly submit Mr. ey —Muat humbly submit? Mr. Stake’ —Yes sir, humbly. Mr. Tenney —I will submit, not humbly, but because I can’t help it. Mr. Stake continued at some length, saying he || would as readily contend for Mr. Addison ae toe Mr. Crawford, if their Positions were reversed, and arguing that Mr. Crawford should be sworn in as a matter of courtesy not only, but of right, and to save the Syren trouble, Mr. Hill asked if Mr. Crawford bad not been acting as Mayor for the last two da’ Mr Stake said he (Mr. Cra ) had been careful to do no act to bind the corporation, until he was recognized by the Boards. Mr Tenney wanted to know if Mr. Crawford had been elected Mayor of Georgetown since he was sworn in in 1857? If so, where was the proof of it? Not in that writ. Mr. Stake said that was a lame subterfuge, and wenton to yom pom Mr. Tenney for his as- tuteness and ‘ness in debate; thanking him for what be had learned him since he had been bere, and then to argue the case ayain at some length, when— Mr. Tenney rose and wanted to know what was the regular order of business; whether we had met for any special business; if 80, he did not know it. Petitions and memorials were first in order, ke believed. Mr. Staké hoped the yentleman would not per- sist. He then moved a suspension of the rules; which was carried. Mr. Tenney now rose to speak, when some con- fusion ensued—cries of Question! question! order! being heard; and Mr. Tenney, in an angry voice, contending for his right to the floor and to speak. Order being restored— Mr. Fearson moved to adjourn, if we were to listen to a long speech. Mr. Tenney baving agreed to occupy no more time than was allowed him by the rule, said it made no difference whether we swear Mr. Craw- ford in, or not This was the Recorder’s opinion, which accorded with his own before be had con- sulted any one. Mr. Crawford was mayor since 1857; and that paper from the court does not say he was elected in 1859, nor did the decision of a democratic jury say so Mr. Stake.— Were they all democrats? Mr. Tenney —All, or so near it—— Mr. Stake —They were honest men, then. Mr. Tenney said the decision of the jury was that there was a tie vote. The court had overruled the deeision of the ple and the representatives of the people of Georgetown. But we would have to submit, as we did to a dismemberment of our town by Congress, without rebellion and without revolution. But it was some slight con- solation to know that the days of demecracy were numbered, and though not a member of the party coming into power, be hoped their first act would be to reorganize the Circuit Court of the County of Washington. Mr. Hill asked for information, whether our acts here might not involve the Corporation in paylug two salaries? Mr. Crawford had been noting as Mayor two days. | Why swear him in? He was willi should get his ing Mr. Crawfc salary, but not out of the Corporation Mr. Stake said it was a question he had not wished to raise, and spoke of Mr. Addison’s securities being responsible. Mr. Dunlop said by the record of the court Mr. Addison wes prohibited from acting as Mayor. We were now, therefore, in the same position as at the beginning, when Mr. Crawford presented himself before tbe joint convention with the cer- Uficate of the judges of election. “1 was willing to swear him tn then,’ ssid he, “but was over: ruled by a majority of the convention 1 am willing new.” After some irregular iscussion by Mr. Bill and thers— o Mr. Tenney asked what election was Mr. Craw- ford to be sworn in on; that of 1857 or 1859 Mr. Stake said that of 1559 Mr. Tenney wanted to know where was the proof of bis election then. Mr. Dunlop said the certificate of the judges of election that Mr. Crawford brought with bim here before. Mr, Koglish said that Mr Hill’s position was not tenable, and went on to argue that the Corpo- +4800 was responsible for Mr. Crawford's salary, as be was Mayor by holding over, and if Mr. Crawford did not yet indemnity when cominenc- ing this suit. we were bound to pay twice, and could not help ourselves. The vote was then taken on Mr. Stake’s motion, and other proceedings had, as stated in our letter of copaey- After being sworn in— Mr, Crawford said this was memorable occa- sion.
