There could be no violation of law util the nomunation should be confirmed aud should accept the appoimtment. Then, if did not resign bis seat bere, he would be guilty; certainly until he had been ap- pointed, and bad accepted or held the position, be could bold bis seat here. Mr. Moore contended, trom the usage of the General Government and this Corporation, the nomination cuuld not be made ualess the gentieman resigned ois seat bere. . Crocker said the Presiagent had repeated- Jy vominated gentiemen trom the legislauve branches of the Government for executive po- sitioms, and they resigoed after their confirma. tion and before accepting the new place: and instenced the case of Mr. Wa-hburne, nomtui- ted for Secretary ot State by President Grant. Mr. Moore sai! that Mayor Bowen was not Preewient Grart. Mr. Fenwick said there was another point, and that was that Mr. Richards uimself voted tor the creation of this office. ‘The ayesand oes were then demanded on the adoption of the resolution offered by Mr. Moore, and it was rejected: Yers—Messrs.
