New COMMON CoUNCIL.-ExAcT STATE OF THINGS.
According to the best information, and the most
recent intelligence from the clubs and caucuses of
both "the houses" the new Common Council will
present tie of 8 to 8, next Tuesday but how that
condition will terminate can tell
There are three disputed wards-the 9th, 9Th and
18th. The Mayor will swear in the democrats OF
the sth and the wings of the 18th, because they have
the regular certiicates-but the 9th he will refuse
and thus leave it to each Board to settle The great
difficulty will take place on the sixth. From the
first TO fifth, there is nothing but plain sailngbu
at the Sixth, the fight will commence. Some sup
pose that the organization of the new Board will
never get beyond the Sixth--but that only allows
the old Board to hold over for whole year, if the
one can't settle it sooner.

On the whole, expect curious events next
week growing out of this Convention. 1t is true a
notice has been promulgated here, by few persons,
protesting to be abolionsts, disclalming any pur-

a ripple-chafi to the wind. The great mass of the
