Municipal Affairs,

The Council Of the Second Municipality met last
evening and transacted no business, except that of
rejecting Major J. r. Beard as Alderman of the
Sixth Ward. A committee was appointed 10 ex.
anime his qualifications. 1t consisted of Shields,
Johnson and Sewell They presented two reports
one signed by Johnson and Sewell, the minority
signed by Shields. The majority reported that he
| was duly qualified; the minority reported that he
was not qualified, because he had not resided three
months in the Ward at the time of his election.
The laws defining the qualifications of aldermen
were then read
mo person shall he eligible as an alderman who
at the time OF his election does possess the anal
ltisatons of all elecior" Act of February II, 1906
which he resides ut the time of The ele cou and h,
hall be deemed 10 reside where he has lodged or
,ept for the last three months" Act of January
25, lS47.
Mr.. Shields stated that Major Beard himself had
| said that he had moved into the Wsrta few DAYS
| after October ls., and the election was held ON
| December 23d.
Mr.. Beard was allowed to address the Council
| on the subject Though very good speech, il
was only the last sentence which bore on the sub
lect-" that he had not resided three months in the
Ward"
| lie fifteen minutes were spent in explaining
how, like modest author, it was only at reques st
| OF friends" that he had reluctantly consented to
run. That the very friends who had put his name
IN the papers, had called him to Obtain his pledge
ON the school question, and when he had Indignantly
refused, they had requested him to withdraw. The
| only fact Of any importance that of his wan,
| OF residence--which was inserted, like u lady's
postscript at the end of the letter. He is the
hrst victim sacrificed at the shrine of the school
question.
MIR. Shields replied, and said that Major Beard
was mlstaken-no pledges had been sought-but
he with other gentlemen, had waited on him to
know II he had the necessary residence and ascer-
tainng that he had not they urged his withdraw al,
which he refused.
Messrs. Sewell, Stewart, and Hooper, saw no
good reason for objectng to Major Beard A few
days did not make much difference. Mr. Sewell
| had known persons to hold seats who had never
resided in the wards they represented
Mr. Yaneey said the law was too clear. Major
Beard had not the residence required by law: but
he was excused from voting.
