4a ‘certificates to that amount, FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. Sarunpay, Dec, 12—6 P. M. Something of a futter was created in Wall street this afternoon by the publication of the weekly bank Statement, which is generally regarded—perhaps a littie too nastily—as most unfavorable, The totals, as compared with last week, are as foliows:— Dec. 12, $263,360,144 19,140,773 84,264,759 84,205,908, Deposits. . 189, 169,387,415 legal tenders 59,402,476 64,015,865 And the increase and decrease of each item re- bpectively as follows: Increase tn loans.. Ancrease in r ecle pourease im deposits. . Decrease in legal tenders. ‘The increase of nearly four millions of loans, with # decrease of in the neighborhood of five and a haif millions of legal tenders and a decrease of half a miil- Jon in deposits as well, shows certainly a great de- gree of expansion, but not more than the legitimate ‘Wants of business, West and South, in the movement of the pork and cotton crop call for. The drain in these directions is not unusual, and that the Money should be thus in demand for this purpose certainly gives agreeable assurance of future profit and financial ease, rather than occasion for the anticipatory distress indulged dn in some directions at present. The large balance in the Sub-Treasury in this city likewise accounts to some extent for the decrease in legal tenders shown in the bank statement, amounting at this date to $91,091,980, being an increase of $2,609,969 over last week. This is about eight mil- lions more than the government has any immediate use for here. with the prospect of the rapid accumulation of funds at this time of the year in the collections of internal revenue, and en- ables it to come to the relief of the banks should the -drain upon them continue to the extent of inducing anything approaching stringency. This we are assured the government is prepared to do to the extent of two or three millions or more if necessary, by cashing the three per cent engaging to re issue’ them when the banks shall have recovered from their embarrassment. Such accom- modation would only involve the loss of the interest ‘on these securities for a few days, which could very easily be made up in an active money market, The most puzzling ivem in the bank statement is the increase of neariy one million and a half in spe- cie, and it is dificult to see where that extra amount of specie can have come from. Last week’s statement showed likewise an increase, but just sufficient to balance a deficiency existing the previous week. Now, where the amount of specie which thus turns up in bank this week in excess of what was in last comes from is a mystery. The exports of specie during the week just closed have been almost double those of the week ending December 5. Consequently it does not arise from that source, and there have been no government sales of gold during that period that would reduce the amount of comm in the Treasury; therefore, the only solution of the problem that offers 4s that large owners of gold have recently, while the rate for carrying was low, kept the gold in their own @afes ready for immediate use should any sudden turn in the market offer them an opportunity fora Profitable strike. Recently, with the advance in the carrying rate and inversely a weak ‘turn in the Price of gold, they have turned it into bank, not ‘anticipating any immediate improvement in the Market. It is known that a great many loans have been called in, but as the amount of these must have stood in bank to the credit of the borrower, it being unlikely that the small owners would keep the gold by them, this would only result in changing tne credit on the bank books nd would not affect the general statement. Cer- tainly with large shipments of coin to Texas and ther parts of the South the increase in bank of $1,496,514 cannot be a gain of that amount, or from ‘What source? and its appearance in the present statement can only be accounted for as above. One of these days the exploit of some daring burglars or gafe robbers will perhaps solve the mystery. Money, notwithstanding the bank statement, was easier towards the close of the day than earlier. Of course the desire to secure two days’ interest would account for this, but then it is not unlikely that ‘with a general kKnowleage of the movement of cur- Tency hence the decrease of legal tenders has been ‘discounted, and the knowledge of the exact amount perhaps proved it in many instances less than was feared. Plump seven was the ruling rate all the morning, but in the afternoon the exceptions at six were numerous, although seven continued still to be the regular quotation. Exchange to-day ‘was steady at previous rates, viz.:—Prime bankers’, sixty days, 1095; do., short sight, 110%4; sterling, xty days, commercial, 108% a 10934; Paris, sixty days, 5.20 a 6.1634; short sight, 6.13% a 5.1334; Ant ‘werp, 5.20 a 5.1614; Switzerland, 5.20 a 6.16%; Ham- burg, 3654 a 3634; Amsterdam, 40%; a 41s; Frankfort, 405 & 4134; Bremen, 73)g & 79; Prussian thalers, Tk a 72. The gold market to-day was remarkably steady, with only slight transactions and no special feature. The price opened at 135%, and shortly afterwards fell off to %, at which figure it remained the greater partof the day. In the afternoon, however, it stiffened a little and advanced to % and %, bat towards the close weakened again and dropped to 3. It subsequently rallied to %, but fell off again and closed at %, Later, upon the publication of the bank statement showing the ammount of specie in bank, 1t weakened still more and fell to 1354, Where it remained to the close of busi- ness. The transactions at the Gold Exchange Bank comprised the following:—Gross clearings, $57,932,000; goil balances, $2,508,070; currency bal- ances, $3,993,205, Governments were steady to-day, in the absence of any fresh discharge of financial skyrockets at Washington, with quite liberal dealings.

OB 110% NEW YORK Werk Accomplished by These Institutions During the Past Year—Results us Com- pared with the Year Previous—Decreasing Mortality and Its Causes—New Iustitations ized. Pre-eminently renowned as is our city for its mag- nificent charities, it has none more noble and de- serving than its dispensaries; none more noble for the principles of broad and universal philanthropy upon which they are based and conducted; none more deserving the practical sympathies and foster- ing care of the public for their devotion to the cause of indigent humanity, and the vast and almost incal- cnlable benefits resulting from their combined efforts to administer needed succor to the impoverished sick and thereby preventing not only increasing mortall- ty, but securing to the city—their grandest and high- est mission, which they have most successfully ac- complished—exemption from contagious diseases. Through these channels medical attention and medi- cines are daily furnished free of cost to tens of thou- sands who otherwise would have to become inmates of our almshouses in order to secure such needed attentions, which they are unable to pay for, and thus become an expensive burden to the city. With the enlargement of our city boundaries, and with the expansion of our population and trade and wealth and commercial importance, these charities have multiplied. The fact speaks volumes for the hu- mane benevolence of our private citizens; for, except- ing paltry annual donations from the city and State, they are wholly supported by' private contributions. It ls not to be expected that our Common Council, with all ite greed for gain, or our State Legislature, with the same perverse pecuniary proclivities, will bestow much attention upon matters of charity. It ts to know that notwithstanding this, however, these institutions do exist; that our im- sick are not neglected and ieft to perish in their crowded tenement abodes and miserable and care that Would Keep. them ative, and that tor care we eep ve, or all such there are hearts pul in fact, than they can really attend oy for the reoenily organized Tustiretions of thia class. The last published reports, th some of the new institutions have not yet pubilshed any re- porta, show an te 194,721 sick persons visited and attended w) last year, including 9,089 vaccinated, and 325,146 as the namber of pre- issued. roy Present year oe will happily be a d fot oni: the statements of the surgeons in charge of the vari- ons at 1s, but returns made by tions the registers of vital statistics of the, Health also show it. The vigilance of these institu- tions and the energetic action of the Board of Health during the past year to preserve the public health and ward oif threatening contagious diseases have contributed to this gratifying result, Too mu therefore, cannot be said for these institutions. Tuey do their work promptly and weil. All our city dispensaries are similarly condncted, and the dutly scenes presented at eacti are a counter- part of one another. Some, of course, have fine uildings and better appointments, but at the same hours begin and close tie day's work, and are the saine classes of ts, thin-featured old men and women, with deeply wrinkied faces and bent forms tottering on the borders of the grave; young girls, the hectic blush on whose cheeks betokens the consuming fire® of internal disease; pale, weakly mothers, Whose cares wili soon be ended, bearing emaciated children tn their arms; men of middle shorn by insidious disease of their manhood gor; soldiers of the war, whom the fatigues of coe marches and privattons and exposures of protracte army life, though sparing their lives and limbs, have broken down tn health; servant girls with inexplicable stitches in their sides; young men rendered almost tr breathless and exhausted by the least physical exer- clae; young children who cannot tell their atiments, but whose prematurely old iookstell ‘an o'er trae tale” of lack of sustaining food and kindly care. ‘The name, addrese, Ye h Occupation of each are recorded with the ent.

The building is small and hardly sufticient for the purpose, and 1t is hoped before Ong to replace it by anew and more ample editice. Meantime its trustees and medical staff are fully and sedulously attentive to their duties. ‘The last report gives 21,290 as the number of patients treated, including 902 vaccinations, and 33,407 as the number of prescriptions dispensed. This year’s re- turns will, it is estimated, foot up about the same. EASTERN DISPENSARY. This is the third oldest dispensary in the city, hav- ing been founded in 1833, and now in the thirty-sixth year of its existence. is section is bounded by ‘Pike and Allen streets, First avenue, Fourteenth street and the East river from Four- teenth sireet to Pike street, the place of beginning, and 1ts headquarters are over Essex Market. Some additional rooms have been ae them latel, through the Tenth precinct having vacate: the rooms they formerly occupied there; but the nu- cleus of a building fund has already been started, and they have hopes of soon ag @ new and spe- cial building for their use, @ last published re- port gives 28,204 as the number of persons wei at the dispensary and at their dwellings during the previous year; the number vaccinated as 4,277 and 46,768 as the number of prescriptions dis- pensed, The present year’s returns, it is thought, will not vary materially from the above. It may be an interesting fact to know that from 1834 to 18@7 inclusive the whole number of patients treated was 715,088 and prescriptions dispensed 1,113,828, The whole amonnt of expense incurred in that time was $101,717 78, giving fourteen and @ half cénts as the average cost of each patient. DEMILT DISPENSARY. ‘This is unquestionably the finest dispensary in the city—that is to say, it has the best building of any. A more complete structure, and one better arranged for the purpose, cannot well be devised. This insti- tution was founded eighteen years ago and embraces that portion of the city embraced between Four- teenth and Fortieth streets and the Sixth avenue and East river. The last report gives the number of new patients treated 27,489, the number vacci- nated 1,324 and number of prescriptions 58,963. Since the founding of the dispensary the number of patients attended have been 384,867, of which number 809,418 were treated at the dis} and 75,459 at their homes. In this time there have been 708,836 prescriptions. Dr. Cummings, the house physician for the past eleven years, says there has been no healthier year in the city in all this time than the past year. Their business has tallen off fully fifteen per cent from last year, a diminution.of ten per cent of which he ascribed to the increased general healthfulness and the remaining per cent to the es- tablishment of the dispensary at Bellevue Hospital. NORTHWESTERN DISPENSARY. Organized close on the heels of the Demilt Dis- pena, was the Northwestern ‘Dispensary, now in its sixteenth year. It 1s a very large district, and extends its operations over that portion of the city bounded on the south by Twenty-third street, on the east by Fifth avenue, on the west by eet river and on the nurth by Eighty-sixth-street. Daring the year embraced in their last report there were treated 10,380; vaccinated, 362, and prescriptions di pensed, 18,045. The reports for this year will vary very little from these figures, It is to state, in connection with this institution, that they have accomplished raising of a sufficient fund for putting up a new building. The ground has already been broken for this new structure, which is to be erected near the corner of Thirty-sixth street and Ninth avenue, and which will be modelled alter ‘We latesy me approved. styles. NORTHEASTBRN DISPENSARY. This be iareet the 1dSt in the list of those of regu- lar established districts, is located at No. 100 East Fifty-ninth street, year Third avenue, and covers that part of the city Iving north of Forticth and east of Sixth avenue. The fifth an- nual report gives the number of patients attended during the year as 4,088, the number vaccinated as 116 and prescriptions dispensed as 7,661. This year will show a considerable increase over this number, owing to the rapid influx of population in this direc- tion, and will swell to fully 40,000 the total number visited, since the organization of the charity, GERMAN DISPENSARY. At this dispensary, situated at No. 8 Third strect, in addition to giving prescriptions to patients they have @ ward room for the worst patients—a feature not belonging to any other dispensary in the city. ‘Though calling itself German, people of all nationali- ties are treated here, The report for 1867 gives 12,564 as the number of patients treated. It is stated that this number will be exceeded by 2,500 this year. As is well known thts institution has completed a new and magnificent bullding in Seventy-seventh street, near Lexington avenue, and intend after its inaugu- ration, which will probably be shortly, to make that their headquarters. The institution, which Is char- tered as the “German Hospitai and Dispensary,” is now in the eighth year of its existence. BOND STREET HOMG@OPATHIC DISPENSARY. This institution, at No. 59 Bond street, still con- tinues to do a large amount of good in its own quiet aud unostentatious way. There were last year treated here 26,046 and 50,122 prescriptions dispensed. ‘They will do about the same this year. At a branch dis- ageg corner of Seventh street and avenue B, 122 of the ere cera were treated, with (he addition of 8,326 out-door visits, NEW YORK HOMG:OPATHIC DISPENSARY. Nine years of steady, unw work have abun- dantly testified to the beneficial labors accomplished by this institution. Last year they had 12,211 p: tents rescriptions. This year’s work will present about the same results. ECLECTIC DISPENSARY. Three years of philanthropic effort still keeps this institution in the cocupagay 88, headquarters of an old fire e1 building Twenty-sixth street, near Third avenue, Last year they had 9,200 pa- tients and this year will have had double that num- ber. There are two resident doctors and seven consulting physicians counected with the institution. itis under excellent management and growing in popular favor. OTHER DISPENSARIES. Besides the Bellevue Hospital a weary, ee e within the year, three other been recently started—one in York one in Har- Jem and one in Manhattanville. They are all smail afairs at present, though to what maguitude in the future they may rise there is no telling. Each in its special locality 18 doing @ good work, giving out medicines to the tmpovertiind sick in fis vicinity and detailing physicians to visit those unable to visit their aa ge headquarters.

THE WAR FOR THE REVENUE, Encounter Between a Revenue Officer and a Distiller. tra the Chicago Tribune, Dec. 10.) An filicit distillery of considerable magnitude, which had been “running” for over #1x months, with a capacity of manufacturing some twenty gallons of high wines per day, was yesterday seized by revenue officers. Some few days ago certain attachés of the Revenue it suspected the presence of the establishment in subterranean vaults at the northeast corner of Chicago avenue and Clark street, and ycs- terday morning was the time selected for the seizure, Colonel Whi and a brother officer visited the spot, and after considerable delay in parleying with one of the conspirators in the unlawful enterprise, managed to foree a descent into the susnictous inferno, There they discovered a distillery in full blast. Colonel Whitely was accompanied fato ® dismal corner of the institution by Alex.

On the subject of city politics very little can be said at presert, The late campaign has to a certain extent broughi about, if not anew order of things, @ new order of men. The Executive of the State is @ new man, and will undoubtedly inaugurate a change of policy, not only as regards party, but.a policy conceived on a broader basis, affecting the well being and the wise and judicious government of the whole people of the Empire City and State. ‘The contest for the supremacy was vigorously main- tained on the national ticket of either of the two great Parties of the State, and the result was a decisive victory in favor of the democratic principle as it prevails among the people of the city and State of New York. The victory achieved by the dominant party can be turned to good acconnt if the men now placed in power by the-will of the people interpret that will correctly and direct their executive legis- lation and judicial efforts to the removal of many of the evils under which. the people labor from past malady in ‘tration in. those various departments. So far as tuc iate election stands it may be appropri- ately said— Finia Coronit opus, The result is seen in the men elected, but the “end is not yet;” the end and crowning work of the cam- paign will only bo seen when the chosen of the peo- ple, having with such ability and honesty as they may each individually contributed to the administra- tion of aifairs, proved themselves deserving or other- wise of the trusis reposed in them, THE CONGRESSIONAL REPRRSENTATION, ‘The members chosen to Congress, when their time comes to take their places in the halls of the national legisiature, will have some of the most important questions that ever engaged the attention of legis- lators submitted to them; the most engrossing—as it is in all 1ts aspects the most important—being that of the finances of the country. 1t can hardly be ex- pect any other than some temporary measure ean be introduced in Congress, during the brief ses- sion upon which it has entered, to meet the exigen- cies which surround this question at the pre- sent moment. But the time Is fast approaching when the diMculty must be met and the evils which at- tach tothe present order of things must be remo- died. It is to be hoped that the representatives from this city and State will be found active in supporting and carrying through any or all measares that may be found most conducive to the relief of the country from not only the financial but political dimculues and perils under which it labors, THE STATE LEGISLATURE. 'To the State Legislature the people of the city and State of New York must look for the repeal of What- ever laws may be found irksome, obnoxious or an- tagonistic to the progressionist tendencies of the day. The men who are about to enter on the duties of eemiore will be recreant to the principles upon which they were elected and false tothe men by whom they were elected if they fail in this. There are some laws of local importance which may well be repealed or amended and there are also grave omissions in the law which it would be well to sup- ly at the earliest moment consistent with all the Titeresta that may be at stake or may be in any way affected by @ radical charge either in the iaws or their administration, THE RESULT OF THE CAMPAIGN--THE DISTRICT AT- TORNEYSHIP AND THE VACANCY ON THE BENCH OF THE SUPERIOR COURT. The results of the October and November elections have left some vacancies in office to be filled, not by a recourse to the ballot box, but b) Beware by the Governor. The election o ir, A. Oakey Hall to the Chief Magistracy of the city has left @ vacancy in the office of Di trict Attorney—a very important oMce and full of oncrous duties. From the able mauner in which these duties have been performed by the re- tirmg incumbent for the number of yeurs he has held the oillce the people must entertain the hope that to “the best of his judgment the Governor elect will select @ man as near as may be worthy to succeed Mr. Hall in the ofice, And that this is really the case may be seen in this— that the Governor, it is said, has chosen for the office Samuel B. Garvin, at present one of the fudges of the Superior Court bench. The office of District Attorney, therefore, being filled by the appointment of an incumbent of another office leaves a vacancy in the latter office, which is also a | ety of the Governor, The siate for this oifice re for a time, or rather it was supposed to have borne, two names. Between these it was also rumored Tammany was undecided as to which of the individuals should have the place. And now it is said the slate has been broken—at least that a Sponge was lately applied and the name of one of the candidates obliterated therefrom, although it is doubtful if it ever was there. It was, however, pretty evident from first—and, as has been before inti- mated in these columns—that the vacancy occasioned by the appointment of Judge Garvin would be filled by # German; that the Governor elect was greatly indebted to the German element for his popular sac- id that he couid not if he would, and would not if he could bestow the gift in any other quarter, ‘The Irish element ls most satisfactorily represented in the person of the patriotic and chivalrous O’Gor- man—Richard being “himself —as rae tion Counsel, and it is only fitting, politically speak- ing, that the Germays should be rewarded for their fealty to the Tammahy chief in the promotion of one of their representative men to a seat on the bench of the Superior Court of the Stave. And so it is that J, J. Friedman is uted for,the vacaucy vice Garvin, to be appointed District Attorney. HE POLICE JUSTICESHIP. ‘The only other public office to be filled is the va- cancy in the Yorkville district Police Justiceship, occasioned by the election of the retiring Justice Connolly to the Registership. This is also a patron- age vested in the Governor elect. The Big Judge still sticks and makes no sign, but the universa! /ecl- ing throughout the district is that he could not op- pose the public opinion, which is dead against his holding the Justiceship and the stership both. If he decided on holding both, and there is no law against his doing so, he would not be doing justice to lis old constituents, and who, in fact, would be likely to * iter” it in a way that would make the Register feel very uncomfortable if he should ever aga need their suffrages. Accepting It as a fact that the Big Justice will resign the man most promi- nently put forward for the post is Mr. John Mas- terson, who is far abead of his competii®rs in the estimation of the electors of the district. If the vacaney was to be filled by the votes of the itizens of the district there ts no manner of doubt ut Mr, Masterson would be a elected. ‘This fact will, no doubt, have great weight with the Governor elect when the time comes for him vo make an appointment to the oMice, and therefore it may be said that Mr. Masterson is booked tu win. THE CHARTER ELECTION. Hoard of City Canvassers—Report of the Committee on Protests. The Board of Aldermen, sitting as @ Board of Can- vassers to canvass the returns of the recent charter election, resumed {ts session yesterday at noon, with the chairman, Alderman Hardy, presiding. As it had been noised abroad that the committee to whom the protests had been referred was prepared to report there was, of course, a large crowd in attendance and much interest was manifested in the result of the proceedings before the committee. When the Board haa been called to order, the roll called and & quorum found to be present, Alderman Coman, chair- man of the Committee on Protests, submitted the report. ‘The report, which was read by Depaty Clerk Fran- cia J. Twomey, showed that there had been conside- rable care shown in its preparation. Jt was very lengthy, covering some forty or more pages of legal cap paper, and detailed We protests received, the evidence and arguments submitted on cach protest and the findings of the committee, together with tables showing the number of votes cast for Alder- men in the odd numerical districts, ‘The report showed that the following questions had been pre- sented for their consideration :— Firt—A. protest from John Motion, alleging Informality and fraud in canvassing the votes in the Fourth and Fiith election districts of the Thirteenth ward, Second petition trom Charies C.

McVeauy, twenty-one; Poter Culkin, 370; John G, Haviland, fifty-three. " In the Sixteenth district of the Ninth ward it appeared that Mr. MeVeany hag votes on the returns fromsald. district credited to hitn in two separate and distinct places; in one he had received 119, and in another sixty-nine.” In explanation of this irregularity it was made apparent to your comraitice, from the evidence, that no error, 60 fur as the wholo number of votes given for each candidate was concerned, was made. ‘The canvassers in that district Ignorantly canvassed the re- turns for Amsatant Alderman separaily, as they were given on the bailote cast for the two different candidates for mon, inatead of giving the votes for Assistant Alderman in the dgyregate, ax coutuined on the several Aldermante ballots, Your committee agreed to give both amounts for Mr. Mo: Yeany, as added together, and allowod as his voto m that ele- tion district 188 in all. The report goes to state, in regard to the vote cast. for Aldermen in the odd numerical districts, that if Ser should allow the vote so cast to be counted with one exception it would be found that the pre- sent members from those districts were re-elected. In this matter the report says :— Your committee therefore recommend ‘that the votes so iven for the office of Alderman in each of the Aldermanic iatricta baving an odd numerical derignation, be not stated oy is board of that 3 or deel of canvassers; but this decision to be without prejudice to any or either of the persons who may appear to have been elected or re-elected to toat their right to retain the oflee for_ the period of two years, us in provided in the charter of the city, puased April 14, 1867. ‘The report then goes on to give the tables of votes cast for Aldermen, a3 above mentioned, and states in regard to the other protests received and not above commented upon as follows:— . In the case of the protestant, James Mehon, who claimed that there were frregularities in the vote for Trustee of Com- mon Schools of the Fourth and Fifth districts of the ‘Thir- toenth ward, your committee examined the canvassers of doth districts, all of whom testified to the correctness of the returns. Mr. Mehon claimed to be able to, produce evidence of fraud, but failed to do so. Your comuuittee, therefore, recommend that the vote of said Fourth and Fifth districts for Trustee of Common Schools be canvassed as they appear on the returns, both of the Alderman of that district and the Clerk of the Common Council, as follows :—Fourth district, Thirteenth ward——Kilery, 218} Mehon, 3; Evans, 50. Fifth district, Thirteenth ‘ward—Ellery, 311; Mehon, 3; Evans, 30. The returns of the Thirteenth district, Twentieth ward, were referred to your commities for the Teason thatthe re: turng gave ten votes to Thomas 1. Crotty for the oflice of Aa- sistant Alderman, while the tally list, which by some accident accompanied the return, gave him one vote. The canvasners testified that the returns ‘were correct and your committee recommend that they be so canvassed, ‘Lhe return of the Fourteenth district of the Twentieth ward, on Trustee of Common Schools, was referred to your committee for explanation, one, return showing the satterin to be thirty and the other tn, ‘The canvassera appeared an testified that ten was correct’ and the return was corrected lingly. In the matter of the protest of Valentine Manck inst, the canvasr of the return of votes given for the pfiice of Trustee of Common Schools in the Twenty-sixin election dis- trict of the Twentieth ward, for the reason that the baliot boxes were removed from the election polls Previous to, the canvass of the ballots contained herein, and also | alleging that gross frauds were commitied in said district, the only irregularity which was box to the station house roven was the removal of ‘the ballot fecause of some disagreement between the car But it appears that the box was not opened in the statiom@house, but returned to the polling\place, where the ballots were counted, As the returns are pronounced correct by both canvassers, your cotmittee recommend that the return be canvassed, The report concindes with resolntions embodying the recommendations of the committee on the several protests and a full report of the examination and argument had before the committee. When the motion to adopt the report was stated by the Chair, Alderman White, opposing the mo- tion, said:— MR. PRESIDENT—In relation to the Eleventh dis- trict of the Ninth ward I contend that there was suMcient evidence given before the Committee on Protests to warrant Mr, McVeany in entering a pro- test against the returns being received as read off by me from the district canvassers’ returns on the day I canvassed the vote for that district. The tally of the poil clerk, made on the night of the election, and the return sent to Police Headquarters, which also bears the signatures of the district canvassers, is sufficient evidence to my mind that Mr. McVeany received one hundred and eighty votes in that dis- trict. Ido not consider it absolute proof or positive evidence that Mr. McVeany did not receive the one hundred and eighty votes in the Eleventh district in the Ninth ward, which he claims, because the can- vassers are unable to detect any erasure or any alteration of the returns, for @ man setting out to commit a fraud may be so adroit in his work as to escape detection; therefore, | move you, sir, that we disagree with the report of the committee in _re- ference to the Eleventh district of the Ninth ward so far as relates to Assistant Alderman, and that James BE. MeVet be credited with one hundred and eighty votes and Peter Culkin one hundred and seven. i Aiderinan White's motion was put to the vote and lost. Alderman White then move “to strike out the comments” after the words Common Council, on The Obairman (Alderman Hardy)—That would be amending the report. Alderman White—Yes, sir, The Chairman—That we’ cannot do; we can accept or reject the report, or send it back to the committee with directions to amend, but we cannot amend it. question on the adoption of the resolutions offered in the report embodying the recommenda- tions of the committee was then put and carried; after which the Chairman announced that the com- mittee would take a recess until eleven A.M, on Mond: » MARRIAGES AND DEATHS. _ Married.
