Special Session of The Civ Cosncit Rush for Of

ian.
BALrlMoRx, Dec. "a, 1854.
The special session Of the City Council viii most
likely be terminated during the present week. The
Second Branch having receded from their amend
ment to the water ordinance, giving the appoint
ment of the Commissioners to the Council indie
pendent of the Mayor, the whole difficulty Is now
in fair way of being settled; and We shall prob
ably have the appointment Of the Commissioners OF
the Water Works to announce in few days.
His Honor, Mayor Kinks, Is besieged almost day
and night by applicants for Office; and is, doubt,
much perplexed how to decide between the claims
and qualifications Of the candidates. This wish
for Office has been much increased by the present
" hard times Hundreds who would otherwise
never have thought Of asking for Office have been
driven TO do so, because they are out Of employ
ment, and without any present means-of support.
The Second Branch Of the City Council yester-
day evening passed an ordinance to require the
City Registrar to deposits his bond for the faithful
performance Of his duties, with the Mayor, 1t hav-
ing been discovered that this officer, by thaOrdi-
nance which makes him custodian of the bonds Of
the other city officers Is also, very improperly, the
keeper Of his own bond; 80 that, in effect, the
city is actually left without security in the case Of
officer who has in his care the great bulk Of all
the funds of the corporation. The ordinance Is
most proper one; and it is surprising that mat
tor Of such Importance could have been over
looked 20 long.
Our military citizens are expecting visit to-day
from the Young Guard Of Richmond, Virginia,
spirited military corps Of that city They win be
the special guests Of the Law Grcys, but win re-
ceive cordial welcome from the military gene
rally.
The police and watch returns for Christmas day
and night show that most unusual degree of row.
dysm prevailed in some sections Of the city. Many
brutal fights occurred, and several unproyoked out
RACES were committed on quiet and respectable
citizens by gangs Of drunken desperadoes who
roamed the streets, knocking down and otherwise
maltreatng all whom they thought unable to re-
taiate or avenge an insult ! am pleased to say
that, in one or two instances, these cowardly ruff
fans found, to their cost, that they had mscalcu-
lated the strength Of their intended victim, or the
number Of his friends, and received sound drub-
bngs, which they win likely remember for some
years to come. 1t is to be hoped that those who
have been arrested for such offences may receive
prompt and merted punishment from the court.
