Mr. Cook said that the first letter addressed toMr. B. styled him as Mayor. The law was that the individual de facto in office is tempo- rarily or at least practically regarded de jure ice, and it is &n indisputable fact that Mr. wen is in possession of the office, and is Praniyce-ty Seed duties and the Court ander the = should regard him as the Mayor of the ty. Mir. Bradley denied that the questien as to whe is Mayor was now before Court, and he was before the Court as an attorney of rec- ord. He had not been removed from office. (Mr. Cook.—Yes, sir.) I: is the first time I bave heard of it. If there was any dismiseal, he would lke to know by what authority it was made. It could only be done by competent authority. and he denied that Mr. Bowen had such authority. Persomal considerations did not influence him in this matter; for, while it might be a position of honor, it was one of no profit. He would submit to any order of the Court, but with all due respect he might difter with the Court Mr. Cook, at the suggestion of the Court, stated what officers could be removed at the discretion of the Mayor, under the charter, and that the City Attorney was of that class. Mr. Bradley.—It tne individual is Mayo: Judge Fisher said I have here several letters which were read the other day when this matter was under con- sideration, and I presume it 1s not necessary to again read them. Since then, another letter— one addressed by Mr. Bowen to Mr. Cook—has been placed in my hands. {t is as follows: Mayor's Orvice, City Hatt, Washington June 10, 1866.—Sir: In se Soe the letter of Joseph H. Bradley, Esq.,of the 10th instant, I have to state that I informed him that you would “be regarded by me as Attorney for the Corporation” till otherwise directed. This, of course. was as delicate a removal of Mr. Brad- ley as I could possibly make under the power conferred on me by the charter of the city,and I have informed the court of my action. If ne- cessary, I renew your appointment to fill the vacancy in view of the removal of Mr. B.. and desire you to attend to ail corporation cases, Very respectfully, your obedient servant, S. J. Bowen, Mayor. Col. W. A. Coox, Corporation Attorney. [We understand that Mr. Bowen regarded the resignation of Mr. Bradley as complete, but to remove all obstacles in the way in view of all the tacts, concluded to formally remove him, as stated above.) Mr. Bradley.—This is the first intimation { have had of myremoval. Had I received such of that office, I would not have respected it. The Court.—1 understand that you do not re- gard Mr. Bowen as Mayor. Mr. Bradley.—Most unguestionably. The Court.—I feel that I will have to be goy- erned in this matter by the rule that has been adopted by our Government in such cases, They have always regarded the d- facto gov. ernment as the government which they ars to take notice of and recognize in all their oficial, political and State transactions. I do not know feng other line of conduct which it would pe safe for me to pursue. Mr. Bowen, as J quder- stand it, nas beef pee: laimed Mayor, ard 1 have not learned of Mr. Given, the Opposi- tion candidate, having taken any measures to contest his right to occupy and perform the du. fies of that position. If he has done $0, the fact hs not come to my knowledge. It is true that 1 have heard rumors, and read reports in the news parers of Mr. Lloyd having been elected Mayor ad interim; but 1do not think a decent regard for common sense would permit Me to take any notice of that appointment. The People in this city elect the Mayor. Last Monday two Weeks Axo an election for this of- fice was held; and, as regards ihe result ef that election, it has been duly proclaimed that Sayles J. Bowen was elected; and I guess everybedy believes it. At all events, Fauna him ‘in Rossession of the office, and acting as ayor; and, thts being so, | am in duty bound to recognize him in that capacity, to Tecognize his acts. He has notified me that he has superseded the appointment of Mr. Brad- ley, and has designated Mr. Cook as his suc- cessor, to fill the balance of the term. Under these circumstances I do not know what other Tule of action 1 could adopt than the one I have indicated. Mr. Bradley.—I suppose now it will be con- ceded by all parties, after this action of the de fac authorities and of the learned counsel on ‘the other side, that there never was any resig- The Court —I do not know about that. Mr. Bradley.—Otherwise there could be no als. remo Mr. Cook.—That is a question of legal meta- physics that I do not now propose to con- sider. Mr. Bradley.—It is & question of common sense metaphysics. The Court—I suppose the Attorney of the Corporation, like an attorney for a private ndividual, especially in the absence of any to the contrary, may be removed at the pleasure of the representing the Corpcs Tation. There is an express provision to that effect, however, in the laws of the Corporation. I shall regard Mr. Coek as duly authorizea to act as Corporation Attorney. ee Heavy Reat Estate SaLe.—Yesterday, Messrs. Cooper & Latimer, anctioneers, sold the residence of the late Wasiington Berry, known as Metropolis View, and being oppo. site Glenwood cemetery, about one mile north of the city.
