THAT AMEypMENT--The amendment to the
special act under which the city has elected a
City Marshall, about which there has been n
stir among the rumselers and their sympathiz-
ing friends, and which has caused some OF them
"to swear worse than our army in Flanders"
was made necessary by new construction
which was threatened to be put upon the law.
The law was passed in 1855, was prepared by
ourselves with no thought that by its provisions
the power of Mayor, as given in the original
charter and which restricted him to the right OF
voting when q tic occurred, were enlarged
thereby. In no case has the Mayor exercised
the right of voting. The report that Mr.. An
drews when Mayor did vote in the selection Of
a City Marshall. is incorrect. After tho result
of the election was ascertained, this idea Of the
right of the Mayor-elect to vote in the selection
of City Marshall was preached, and the rum
selling gentry and their sympathizlng friends
were blatant, declaring that unless the rcpub-
lican alderman would take such man for
Marshall as the democrats might propose, their
friend Dow Staples would continue in Office.
They were joyial and buoyant over the idea that
they had the republicans. Their new construc-
ton, which we are obliged to say seemed to be
concurred in 10y prominent democrats, was to
keep things as they were by checkmatins the
republicans, or to force them to take an insult
able man for Marshall. Under these circum-
stances it was thought best to make the law
perfectly clear. and the Legislature has by an
amendmendatory act, settled question which
the democrats had raised, the effect of which
might have been to continue political strife
in the City Government throughout the year.
1t was measure of peace, and its simple result
is to continue the old mode ofselecting Mar
