Almost Immediately after the presentation
of the foregoing the Board adjourned
The object of this summary proceeding is, it
il said to postpone the meeting of the Board
of Supervisors until the passage of law by
the Legislature giving them the power to
transact their official business without the pre-
sence Of the Mayor and Recorder. Another
reason assigned for it ia that Alderman Moser
being dangerously i'll, deprives the party by
when Alderman Ely was elected of their
twelfth member, thus destroying the balance OF
power between both parties
An attempt has been made to justify the
couree pursued in this case by reference to the
election of Alderman Baylis to the Presidency
during the Msyorality of the late Judge
Morris but the action Of the Board in that
instance was legalized by the presence of
The Mayor. In the meantime, the course
pursued by the Supervisors named In the
preamble, has put stop to the transaction Of
all business relating to county government
and prevented the payment of the bills of
public creditors now awaiting the action Of the
Board. The resolution OF Alderman Clancy
will be presented at the meeting OF the Board
this afternoon; but we think it hardly probable
that IL will be disposed of in the same manner.

WASHINGTON, April 3, 1885, s
Mr.. Seward engrossed the public attention to
day. His speech was elaborate and able. Kansal
was his theme. He recited the history of Kansas
and described its 'subjugatedr constitution. He
arraigned the President for aiding the M:ssourians
In subjugating IT, He assailed the messages of the
President as uncandid and unfair He defended
tho Emigrant Aid Society and Its acts
From two and . half TO three hours were con-
sumedin the delivery OF this speech. during which
time the Senate foor was pretty FULL and the gal.
leries crowded with attentive listeners. And yet
Mr.. Seward 10 not an agreeable speaker. He has
heavy, husky, sepuichral voice, and . melancholy
manner He has a stronger power than that Of
mere eloquence It 10 the power Of great, clear
and forcible intellect This 1t Is that has sustained
him for SO many years in his unpopular career
The greatest folly of . soldier u to despise the
power of his enemy This folly has been commit
ted with reference to Mr. Seward. Hehas reaped
advantages from 1t, while every harsh word that
has ever been addressed to him in the Senate
chamber, has won him friends and sympathy
among the people Of the North.
II daily becomes more palpable that Mr.. Seward
is the Man Of the North, the representative man,
whom the people of the North will recognize -

A speech was to-day made In the House, by Mr..
Shorter, of Alabama, who discussed the question
Of slavery and denounced the faithlessness of the

Slave law and other acts of like indications. He
believed that the Union could only be preserved

the establishment of regular lines of packets and
