Moore said thatif other nominations were hot precluded he would not object. After the hist bad been read he suggested that nomiaa- tions might be made, and the Convention ad— Journ that the qualifications of the nominees Might be canvassed. There was great neces. sity for elrcumspection, because ines officers, viben onee elected, beid their offices for one yeas. Mr. Rutherford suggested the Mayor had the power to remove them. Mr. Moore said tbat was not the case. The law expressly stated tbat they shall bold their office for one year. Mach circumspection should be exer- cred im the election of these officers. He would Bet like to vole biindly for a person who might prove himself unworthy of the place he was elected to fill. He hoped this course Would be parsued, and the Board adjourn for two or ubree days, and then they could come together and yo! jerstandingly. Mr. Richards smd he would second the sug. gestions of Mr. Moore, but there were some offices which should be filled at once, such as those of the Fire Department, as also the Gom- noners of the ds. “It would be best ably that the other names should bo before them some two or three days at least. Mr. Dalton ingmired it the jofat meeting failed to elect officers if there was not some way of fill- ing them.

They had had plenty of time, aud hoped the joint meeting won!d pro- ceed st once to busiaess. Mr. Cook suggested that the list of officers be called as published in the Council proceedings.

Mr. Fenwick asked whether any security was attached to the officers elected for a faithfat erfermance of their duties under the law! be Mny plied that the % could require any security of the officers witch it desired. Mr. More moved to amend the mo- tien of Mr, 80 #s to receive the nomina- they might be recorded by » ard tuat the nomin: or two. Their constituents could not blame them, in & question of such import. ane, fora postponement. Mr. L. B.S.

Mr. Dalton, (to Mr. Ratherford.)—I am not addressing you; I am addressing the Mayor, and do not desire to be interrupted. Mr. Kelsey rose to m point of order, that no de- bate could be permited after the previcus question had been called. and his point was sustained. Mr. Moore calied for the yeas and ays on bis motion, and stated that the charter required that the yeas aud nays should be called at the request of any member. That pro- vision of the charter bad not been repealed by the late act. The Mayor said that no rule had been adopted in this meeting, and it was usual im conventions of this kind to adopt the rules of the House of Representatives, which re. quired one-fifth of the members present to or- Ger the yeas aud nays on any question. He Would ‘submit the question to the meeting whether it should require om+-fifth of the mem. bers toorder the yes and nays, or whether they should be ordered on the call of an indi- vidual memter. of having some 5 would lik t, ond saad be ‘ohave the yeas and aays ou that Orocker moved that tha the House of Representatives the rules of this joint was agreed to.
