with a full house, and the general concur

passed by the Board Of Common Council about
i've months ago. proposing TO give to the
american Organ newspaper the printing
Of the proceedings and laws Of the Corpora
ton, was taken up, last night. in the Board Of
Aldermen, Tor consideration.
During the discussion, DR.. Miller, Of the
Second Ward, argued that the printing should
be given 10 the lowest bidder and hat it should
not be conferred upon the Organ" merely
because il expresses the views If a majority
or the members Of the councils.
Mr.. Bayly proposed amendment 10 the
joint resolution-that the printing shall be
given TO the newspaper having the largest city
circulation; but this was rejected; and the
measure, as originally produced, was passed.

Of the intoxicating liquid that he invited a
