meetings to consider questions like the under
discussion, believing it the business Of the City
Council To decide them. Mr.. 5. Butler made q
motion tU appoint committee of seven to invest.
gate the matter and report a. subsequent meeting
which motion was seconded by Mr.. Humphreys.
Mr.. j. Scott Richman took the floor, but was r.
peatedly called to order by Mr.. ). 0. Butler, who
cOhtendcd that he was not speaking on the motion
The audience in the meantime was much excited,
and the cries for "the motion,' "kichman," &C..
created great confusion. Mr.. Rchmau finally fn-
ished his statement. which that the transfer of
stock in u railroad company is always regulated by
the articles Of association Of the company, and that
stock holders must abide by such articles The
Giles of association Of the NJ. NJ. R. R Go. inter-
dcted any such transfer rs was contemplated by
"the Butler contract" Mr. Candee put few in
| terrogstories to the meeting, and was followed BY
Mr. Robert Williams, who made some decided "hits''
at the getty Fathers" if We may judge by the ap-
ulause which his remarks ELECTED. He ridiculed
the idea of appointing committee to do what was
the duty Of the City Council. The motion for the
appointment of q committee having been in the
M sntime withdrawn, Judge Meason moved thai
the entire subject be rereferred the City Council
t. be disposed of IS that body should think proper
| The motion was voted down, whereupon A. Hum
phreys renewed the motion for the appointment Of
committee, which was carried, and the follow wing
gentlemen appointed by the chair the committee:
: o: Butler, A. Humphreys, Geo: Meason. J: g
Gordon, DR.. G. 0. Waters, John Il. Wallace and H
W. Moore. Messrs. Meason. Gordon and Moore de-
clined serving bat the chair would not accept their
destinations.
So ended this meeting, which seemed almost d
much farce as the called some time since to
oppose city scrip. We arc still of the opinion, II
expressed in issue Of Monday, that this contract
should be rescinded. There is nothing to be gained
by refusal to annul it, but much loss to the city
and vexation to its inhabitants may be saved by SC
doing. The question might as well have been deci-
ded at this meeting. We doubt whether the inves-
t;0afinr COMMITTEE, will he able tn throw any more
light it, and il is therefore useless to spend fur
Their time in this way, unless it is intended thereby
to get up series Of evening entertainments. Many
