Alderman WksLey Sarr presented a petition from Engine Compacy No. 46, praying tnat theic engiae might be returned to them and the company res- tored, us they had beon disbsuded in cou-eqaence of an informality in not sendiog in their returns in due time. whin, according to the ordinarey coey were considered as having resigned. Ho called tor the reading of the petition, and moved thas the preyer be granted. Tho vote was about to be teken, when Alcermon TIEMANN moved that it be roferred Ho ad no doubt of the truth of the statemout, but tho | principle had prevailed of referring papers, and he wished the facts to be recoried in the minutes, and | net to have th precedent established of a company | banded, as it appeared, by one of their own ordi nances, A discussion of some length arose, Alderman StuRreVANT supporting the motioa fora reference, | | from January until May last, Mr Garret Stryker, | Jr, appearing 93 counsel fur the sitting Aldyeuan, | ernment 80 entirely elective a3 ours is co b+ oncciod. | sidered in reference to municipal corporations, coan | lish, and citing the cess of Col LE Alderman Oakiwy thoughs is about six years since the ground hag tirat been designated for that parpo-o, ‘ Alderman Drnuan thought it wag e vory proper | paper to be referred, and te suggested a committes | bo appointed to select # place for the purpose Alderman STURTEVANT shought they should first grant tho prayer Ifit was referred, it woull ba buried, as many things were A. long as they sept siwply referring thoy would do notniug ‘“Chese | Recple had been poiitioniog for years, without re | Tees | Alderman Denman—It is unsafs to dam up aca rent unless you open a channel tor the overflow Us | moved it be changed to Watts street Tnis onlled ap | Alderman Boyes, anvdst mush tanghter, who suid | it was cot fuir—that Watts street was iu his ward A discussion then took place as to what commit. tee should have it, and Alderman Barr suggasted the prayer 09 granted afer w certian dete, antia the meantime something might be dons, and Alder. | wan OakLuy accepted it a8 an amoulaent Aldermau Wann thought some provision should be made to prevent manure lying ia the stronts, as | they were dirty esough—and we had nothing bat complaints frow the public aud tis press, which ex- prested their feelings ; Alderman Sturtevant would introduce a rogolu- tion to moet that, ifthe potition were granted, wich | the amendment proposed, say on and ufcersta lirstof November. was afcarwards obanged to tho first of December, and the prayer was g-anted Tho , domping at Roosevelt street to ceate after che latter date. | Alderman Srurtevant then offered his rasolion, | to the effect that it be referrad to sho Commitwe ou | Cleaning Strosie, to report some ovher plato, or some other means, either by bouts or othersiso, to re | move the manure from the streets and che city | This was sdopted, and after the presentation of somo railroad sod otber petitions, and som» ro- poris, the€fbair ancounced that motions and rosy. utiona were in order, Alderman Stoxtryan? moved the order of tho day, “4 THE NINETERHTH WARD ELUCTION CASE At this awfol sammons Alderman Dawaan moved they take a recess of 45 minutes, as the resting of the report would take eome two hours, and they had now been two w session Thia timely motioa was carried, and, rofeashed by their repast. the members re‘acaed co thir Hare | culean task. On tho roll having heen osilet, Mr. | Nixon, the clerk, proceeded to read tae majority and winority reports of the Speoiat Oo mnitsea, coa- tained in a neatly printed rita of 135 pages The majority report, made by Messrs Ciemsna and Bard, is a very able docament. and several au- thorities are cited in support of their viows in favor ot tho sitting Alderman, Mr Joba Doherty, (den.,) | retaining his seat It contains all the testimony | teken before the committee, which sat oontiaually and Mr. EB. D. Smith for the contestant, William A | Dooley. About fifteen witnesses, i: seems, wore examined, consisting of the inspeo'ors aud clerks of election, and policemen. This testimony ia very rich ond racy in many parts A dreadful riot is described as haviag takea Jace — hydrants turned on, ballot boxes rikect &e., and the inspectors flying from their posts before the time for olostug the polis, whereby the ballots in two of tho districts were destroyed, or many of thom, as was suppesod, und in one (the eecond) no return was made. Tho prircipal point mado in the majority report is—that thore was no fraud, and that the result of | the election was not ohavged ; that, therofore, Al- derman Doherty is legully entitied to his seat. Chis vicw is supported by several references to cases of contested elections in our own and other States. The one most directly in point is “The Sixth Ward Care,” in this city, as it is familiarly called, in which Judge Cowen delivered the aricinn of the oourt, reported in 3 Hill, page 43. In that opinion he says: **Tho failure of one of several subdivisions of an electioa district to make areturn, no matter from what osuso, will not vitiate the election. unless it be shown that tho votes not returned would have changed the result. In ro case,” said the learned judge, “that we uro aware of, bas it ever been heli thus tho uccidsatal lors of ballots in a single subdivision of uo elootiva district, even though it preven! a retura, shall of itself defeat or detract from the elostion | it etands on the votes which are proporly re- ned Onoe admit tho princip'e that the loss ofa part of the votes out of the number which may or should be given at an election avoids tho whole, | and it is difficult to conceive how a system of guv- | on; the principle is the same, wh ther it bo oon- | ty districts, a Stato election, or even a fedora! eleo- tion for Provident”? Again, “to give the los+nny effet, it must atleast be shown vbat. withous its | happoving, the result would have ben diff: The People ex rol. Benton v.

Alderman Twrrp hoped tha prayer would be granted. The cause of their being disbanded ap peared svfficiontiy on the Firemon’s Register ani the petition Aiderman Smitn again spoke, observing that the same thing had occurred in the case of Company No. 21; they never had been disbanded, and the Chief Kngineer had continued to tuke money He would move that No. 21 be added ina reso- | sation. Alderman Sturtevant thought this was an ac- ousation against the Chief Engineer. fe was nos | inclined to appear there 48 nis apologist, but it seemed he had only done his duty Alderman Syiti did not mean his observation as any reflection on the Chief Engineer Aldermaa BAxp would vote for their immediate restoration, as the whole secrot was, that these two | companies wore opposed to the Chief Kagineor. ‘Tho question iv reference was pat aud lost. Mae question o* adoption was then put from the Chair. Alderman Sturtevant rogretted that ho would grounds stated. Aldermen Brisley, Tiemann, Denman, and Peck, took the same course. Alderman Warp thought there was sufficiont on the record to satisfy him, and he would therefore vote aye. The question was accordingly carried, and the peeyee of the petition granted by s voto of I4 ayes to noes. At a subsequent hour Alderman Denman moved a resolution to a similar effect with regard to No. 21, which was adopted. OITY NUISANCKS--THER MANURE HEAP AT THE FOOT OF ROOSRVBLT STBRET. Alderman Oakxev, of the Fourth ward, prosented @ numerously bf eet petition from the merchants aud others, in his ward, for the removal of that monster nuisance, the heap of street manure dumped at the foot of Roosevelt street, oa the bulk- head between piors Nos 29 and 30. Ho sapposed the proper reference would be the Committee on Streets Alderman Sturtry ant, of the Third ward, hoped it would not take that direction. Hoe considered that it was a monstrous evil which called for imme- diate removal, and if the gentleman's modesty, which ho suppored had alone prevented him, would allow him to ask that the iearee be immediately granted, he would vote for it Alderman Tiemann followed. Ho most religiously hoped the D rd would be granted = 1t was a most unjust and grievous injury to tho merchants to have such§a beap of filth piled up, as ho had seen it, before their places of business, to the height of fifteen and twenty feet He hoped this would be granted, taovgh the expense of moving it wouldbe greater, and tne proposition might ovcasion some disaatisfaction’to those who wero in the habit of making deposits there. A'derman Sarva boped it would not be granted. They had now but lately made an appropriation for the various deperiments, and if this were done they would require to make an oxtra appropriation to carry the dirtawsy, and where were they to tako it to? There was no answer to that There was no placo in the IA a ward, and ho kaow none io the Twelfth wari gy nee Tween, Seventh’ ward, hoped ba 4 were vot going to send it to Jefferson stroot. Ho had enough dirt there already. (Laugbier.) Alderman Sturtevant did not move for carrying it anywhere, but let thom take it from the business port of thecity. Let them do it.as they did @ thou- and other thinge, and borrow money if necossary, whether it coat one, or five, or ten thousand dollars. He saw his friend from the Nineteenth laughing— abc he thought he was eafe, but perhaps he would be glad to havo it taken thero, incressing the business and arr through his ward, (loud laughter,) and whon the Nineteenth was as impor- tent as the othors down town, ho would movo again for its removal, Alderman TimMANN thought the presont a good | opportunity to consider the whole subject. They | must, at no distant time, remove it from tha faland altogether, and obtain boats, or some other mesns Of removing ib. Wuen the vor of ovavels was first designated, it was out of town, and now there could not be any dam; moarer sha | timony read—he therefore called for it | | reading, und if | would or could only say that he bimecif had road tt ber Jest, is void and of no effeot, and that Joha Doherty is nos entitied to his seat On tho conclusion of the reading of theso reports, Alderman Tiemann a% onoe moved the adoption of the majority report, ani the passage of the reso lution annexed Alderman StuRTEVANT would on tho other | hand, move the adoption of the minority report. Alderman Byisuxy would like to hear the toz- Alderman SswitH hoped it would vot be road. Every member of the Board had read that book, and thoy would net get through till past one o'clock, | if they read it all over { Alderman Sturrevant had not asked for tho tbo gentleman of the Hleventh, (Smito,) who staced ail the moobers had read it, aud understood 1t, he, Mr Sturtevant, would ecoond bis motion to dispeneo with it. The motion of tho gentlemen from the Ninth (Brisley) was strictly correct. Alderman SairH could say he had read it, bat | perhaps not that beunderstood it all. Hewasquite ready to voto upon it. Alderman Sturtevayrt —Yes. I have no doubt of that; (lsughter) but if you say you have read it—thbat’s enovgh. Alderman T1EMaNN was sorry if there were any members who had not read and understood it. Che object of printing it was tbat they might all do so. Alderman Brisiry had read the tostimony over two or threo times carefully; but what was tho uso of reading balf a docuwont, and not readiog tho balence! Even if it take till half past one, snd was, as the Alderman of the Hieventh ne kind of borish operation,” he theught they should | not beso muoh afraid of their timo woen sitting | there upon that matter. | The PassienT said the motion would bo that of | the Alderman ot the Eleventh, that the roading of | the testimony be dispensed wit! | ‘This was put, and lost—ayes, 5, noes, 6. | Alderman TIBWANN eaid it would taka an hour anda half; and he moved they adjourn and meot | to-morrow, at 3 o’elock H Alderman Oakiky wished to get through to- night, even if they did not until 12 o'clock. Alderman StuxTRVANT eaid it wasa question of | great importance; tho most so they had ever hid before them; and a question whieh would be passod over much more lightly than many other things. | An idea had gone abrond that he would | have a great deal to say, but ho would tell them for | their guidence, that he would only consume a vory short time in making «few general rema:ks, as he | did not mean to waste much over @ question which | had been meeived and prodetermiued. Ho had | no doubt they would dispose of tho question in avery | fiw winutes. | Aldirman Sartu--Go on. This is all out of or- | der Hed for. | nly, and the Clerk pro- | ceeded with his endless job. Alderman Stunrevant, after some time, askol | whether there was # sufficient number present to votre onthis He supposed Mr. Doher y could not or | would not vote, and without him they bad only eleven, and would thry 20t require @ majority of all | the members elected, on such « question t Aléerman Corneny— Nover mind--go ahead. | There’s ono below stairs.
