Before the hour of haif-past seven arrived— ‘Bxed by law for the meetings of the Boards— Mr. Loyd arose with a resolution which he de- sired to offer, asking if he was im order. Mr. Moore repliea that the hour for meeting had Rot yet arrived. ‘There being some litte confuston at this point, Mr. Richards arose and said it would be just a well for them not to make a disturbance at this meeting ot the Board. The recent act of Congress in relation to our municipal affairs bad become a law, and they knew the penal tees for any interterence with the legallycousti- tuted authorities of the city. He hoped there Would be no conflict or attempt at disturbance. He would enone himself except to main- tain the position to which he was legally elec- ted, as President of the Board of Aldermen, which be was determined todo. He hoped his frends on the other side, and Mr. Moore, who elaimed to be elected President of the Board by them, would acquiesce im this. When the time comes, there was a way to test who bad the Best right. He made no threats bat would maintain his position, and would call the Board to order at the proper time, which had not arrived yet. Mr. Moore arose and sai Richards) was mistake: ef Congress had anything to do with our or- ganization of the rd of Aldermen. The other side ;the Republicans) had no claim to ‘an organizacion, except one effected ontside the chamber, or maile irregularly inside the cham- ter. He (Mr. M.) claimed to be president of the beard ‘by an election, in which a majorit Of the members voted for him. He would much Father be on the floor, but they had elected him, and he was compelled to stand up in honor of the right. The act of Congress referred to, if it bad become a law, only put in the board one Fguileman uot elected by the Reople (Mr. Clark) in place of one so e! cted, Gulick.) residing officer of the board was always electéd bya majority of the body. If not so elected, be haa no title to bis seat. He was willing for the board to decide whether he had been elected. If the other gentleman was worthy and he (Mr. M.) not, confirm that other. Af he (Mr. M.) was worthy and the other not, then confirm him (Mr. Moore) in his seat. He Wouk! not bave it said. tor 2 moment that he foisied himself on the board as their presiding officer. Let the Loard, now there was a full meeting, decide who they would have for pre- siding officer—the gentleman or himself. He ‘was willing for that.

Mr. Moore proceeded to call the Board to or- der, when Mr. Richards said be (Mr. M.) was out of order. Mr. Richards then called the Beard to order, and said to Mr. Moore, who Was standing by his side, and attempting to speak, “You are out of order:” “come to er- der.” "Mr, Lloyd arose to offer a resolution, when the Chair (Mr. Richards) said. “You are out of order.” to Mr. Hall, the Secretary, “Read the minvtes of the former meetings: and to Mr. Moore, who was endeavoring to read Mr. Lloyd's resolution, “You are out of order; take eet y adhe, comusion still continuing, Ir. Lioyd insisting on his resolution being re- erived, and Mr. Moore still being on his feet, and endeavoring to read the resolution, while the Secretary (Mr. Hall) was reading the min- jes of the preceding meetings (of the Republi- ean organization), Mr. Richards called upon a» magistrate present to restore order. and said, “Will some one take a note of these disorderly proceedings; will the officer whose duty it take that man (pointing to Mr, Moore) aad put him where be belongs. Mr. Moore finished reading the resolution ‘while the Secretary was reading the minutes, snd said “Is it the pleasure of the Board to act on this resolution? Will this Board confirm the election of Mr. Richards as President of this Board! ‘The reading of the minutes Mr. Crocker. is first in order.” Mr. Fenwick arose to speak, but was cut sbort by the Chair (Mr. Richards) who called “order, order: the zentleman is out of order.” The readings of the proceedings of the meet- iugs of the Republican organization of the Hoard baving been concluded, Mr. Moore said Mr. Grinder was not present at the meeting of Inst Monday, as stated m the journal and called for the ayes and noes on adoption of the 3 Kk again tried to speaker, and on being sgnin called to order by the Chair (Mr. R.) explained that he was addressing Presidents.

Mr. Larman was sick aud absent, and if all the thirteer had been sworn in, seven votes would have been a majority of those present. He believed then, and still believes, that he was legally elected President of the Board of Alderman, as shown by the Journal, and that Mr. Hall was elected Secretary. As'to the assertions that no such proceedings occurred at that meeting as his election as President, meribers knew it was the case, that they did occur. When the at- tempt Was made to swear im a member not enutled to aseat,then the Republican mem- hers withdrew to another room, where Mr. Hall was chosen temporary secretary. There Was (ben 4 motion made to go into joint meet- img. He (Mr. K.) was chosen to preside over that joint meeting, and Mr. O. S. Baker was elected secretary.
