Cry CoUScIL.-The first business transacted
by the Council on Tuesday evening, was to dis
pose Ofa resolution of Mr. Thayer, That Thomas
Earl and his associates be permitted to erect a
market shed on Central Market grOund-provi-
ded they erect said shed upon the terms men,
toned in blank contract now before this Coun-
Gil" The vote upon this resolution stood nine
ayes-FOrd, johnson, MeLane, Rezner, Ste
Phan, Thayer, Thompson, Weber, Winslow; G
nays-COfiinberTy Herrick, Masters, Oviatt,
Ransom, Sweet. Mr. Coffinberry, in the Chair,
declared the resolution adopted. Mr. Herrick
appealed from that decision on the ground that
the resolution was in the nature of contract,
and therefore could not be found without the
constitutional requirement Of twelve votes The
appeal was sustained
In connection with this subject of the market
sheds, an ordinance was introduced abolishing
the lst, 2d, 3D. 4th 5th, 9th, 9TH, sth. 10th 18th
and 18th sections of the ordinance for the repu-
lation Of markets, passed January 10, 1856
These sections proposed to be repealed relate to
the sale Of meat, and to vegetables raised with
m five miles OF the city, the sale of which is pro-
hibited, the Peddling Of produce in the streets,
establishing fish market, DC. The sections re-
tained prohibit the sale of unwholesome meats.
slaughtering within the city limits without IL
cense. conforming the STANDARD of weights and
measures to the State law, prohibiting forestall-
ing, and imposing penalties of $50 for viola
tons of market laws. This ordinance was or
dered to be printed for the information of the
public
Next in order came the report of the Commit
tee on Printing, in substance asserting tha. they
had examined the accounts of E. Cowles & Co.
for the past year, and found that they were en-
titled to but ninety-One dollars instead of tN o
hundred and sixty-One dollars, the full amount
OF the claim This report was accompanied by a
resolution ofMr. Winslow, recommending the
payment of ninety-One dollars in full of E.
Cowles Co s claim,s since that was all they were
entitled to. But Mr. COfinberry, not having
much confidence apparently in Mr. WinsIow's
ability or inclination to present a truthful re-
port, and fearing that that public spirited gen.
tleman might have run the matter of deduction
into the ground, suggested that
SllO be substituted for s9I. The alacritv
with which Mr.. Winslow adopted this sugges-
tiOn showed that be wasn't exactly certain of
his own work!
Mr.. Thayer offered a substitute to Mr.. Win
slows resolution, which referred the whole mat
ter in dispute. with all the papers, statements
and documents pertaining to it both pro and con.
to Judges Bolton, FOOte and Bishop. as refer
ees' they to make up and report to the Council
a decision in the matter, such decision to be fl
nal. This was perhaps the fairest proposition
that could probably have been made, and one
which ought TO have been satisfactory to all
parties concerned. 1t afforded an easy solution
Of the difficulties of the case, since Z. Cowles &
Co. weie willing to abide by such deeision.-
1t would have removed the subject from all in
fuences but correct ones, and would have re-
suited doubtless to the satisfaction of the peo-
pie
Mr.. Ransom said he should vote for the reso-
luton Of Mr.. Thayer, because he was not salts
fed that the Council would arrive at correct
decision. Nor was he satisfied that the claim
Of E COwles & Co. was not just one-and he
felt that they should have the benefit of such
a reference
The iacetiOus Mr. Herriek, whose e1traordi-
nary faculty for telling cxcrutiatingly funny
stories is universally known. said he had too
much respect for the Judiciary Committee to
Fote for this reference. But Mr.. Herrick
rather overstePped the truth-in fact told pos
tive falsehoOd-when he said this was his mo |
i've for voting against the reference He forgot |
he important fact that on a previous occasion |
he voted against the report of majority and for
he report of minority of that Committee - |
And in voting against the reference to the Judges
lie voted against three of the Committee, since |
hree of IL, an voted in favor of the reference.
Mr.. wins'Ow INDUCED in speech he has re-
'eated at leas,e half dozen times on the same
nothing further than that his
cal in the matt, II was owing to influences en-
rely outside of us official duty, and prompted
q great part by veI V unworthy motives.
SO the vote was Ia ken and stood on Mr.. Thay- |
RS substitute eight Iyes 10 eleven nays. The
Ote on the adoption O.f Mr.. WinsIOw's resOlu-
on was twelve ayes 10 even nays.
