PRocEEDIsss OF THE CRY COUNCILS, Sept Q,
1e61-Board of Aldermen "A communication was
,ecsyed from the Mayo, notifying the board Of hi,
Treasury notes at par In payment OF dues to this
Corporation; an act authorizing the erection Of a
nre-plug at The southwest corner Of Massachusetts,
avenue and Thirteenth streets; and an act further
70 amend the currency bill.
An act for the continuation OF the Thirteenth
street sewer, In accordance with the plan Of the
Surveyor, and appropriafing 80 27O for the same
was reported from the drainage committee, and
after being opposed by Mr.. Moore and advocated
by Menr, Magruder, Fisher, and others, was
psaed.
Mr.. Bayiy, from the police COMMITTEES, to which
had been referred the act repeating the present
police laws, said that there had been question
as to the power Of the metropolitan police TO collect
fnes and judgments due the Corporation, and
the committee wished to consult the Corporation
Attorney 10 that point before reporting the bill
but Mr.. Carlisle having resigned, they would have
to consult his successor He had no doubt the
committee would be ready to report next Monday.
The committee to count and destroy duebills
were discharged from further consideration Of q
certificates of Indebtedness the bill recently passed
having accomplished the objects proposed In said
communication.
The act naming the space enclosed between
Seventh and Ninth streets, at the intersection Of
Massachusetts, and New York avenues and X
street. ''Union Place." came from the Board Of
Commt Council with several amendments,
amongst others one changing the name to "Mount
Vernon Place.
MI Magruder opposed the bill, and intimated
that the names Of "Union Place. and "Mount
Vernon Place" probably emanated from gentle
men whose patriotism was oozing out at the finger
ends. II would only tend to still further confuse
system already too complicated to be intelligi-
BILE
Mr. Richards said that he had introduced the
bill, and did not do 30 because his patriotism was
ooxing out-he did not know that he had lost any
In that way-but because persons cannot find
places from the inconvenience Of having no names
for such places II was at his suggestion the name
was changed In the lower board to mount Ver-
MI Magruder said the difficulty arose from bad
numbering IL they changed the names Of streets
badly numbered, they would have to change the
names Of all Of them.
After further discussion, the bill was laid over.
The petition Of ]. II. Hoffman for remission Of
ane; an act making an appropriation for the re-
pair Of bridges across the canal and an act making
an appropriation for gravel footwalk on the north
side Of square 543, were severally read and re-
ferred.
enclosing two nominations.
That Of Jos II. Bradley Corporation Attor-
ney in place Of J. NJ. Carlsle, resigned, was con-
That Of Jacob Klleber ss messenger to the
Mayor, In place of VIM. Q Locke, was debated at
considerable length, the rules having been pre-
viously suspended by the Board, 30 that the nOm-
ination would not take the usual course Of refer
eDce TO q committee.
Mr.. Bayly thought il strange that ibis nomina-
tion should be made by the Mayor. The Mayor
stands In a very peculiar attitude TO the public,
and should not without good reasons, remove any
Of the late Mayors appointments. He (Mr. b }
had heard no charge against Mr.. Locke, and
without there is some charge against him must
oppose the nomination.
Mr.. Moore thought the nomination a rather ex-
traordinary proceeding. gentleman who ought
90 know, expected the release Of the ex-Mayof In
afew days, and Il was strange that this nomina-
ton should be sent in. OF course we cannot re-
strain the Mayor from dismissing any officer.
Mr.. Bayly said that MIR. Kleiber had no warmer
the nomination, unless Mr. Locke had done some
thing to warrant his dismissal. He again said it
was strange, and in that connection alluded to
the charge hanging over the late Mayor, and the
language Of Mayor Wallach, who said he would
hail with delight the return Of the late Mayor.
Mr. Moore said the friendly position Of MEN,
bers In regard to the nominee was well known,
but the late Mayor may return within ten days,
and then we VIII have It all to do over again
Mr. Lloyd said that the Mayor had right to
nominate whom he pleased. II YVES natural that
he should desire to have those about him on whom
he could rely. He (Mr. L. would not say that
he could not rely on Mr.. Locke. He was Mayor
and perform all the duties Of the office. This
orcer (the messenger) is one he las to have about
him, and entrust with delicate duties, and he
ought to have the privilege OF choosing him. He
(Mr. LIZ would accord the late Mayor the same
privilege when he returns, and vote for any party
he might nominate. He Mr.. L. had voted for

surrounded with his friends, and he (Mr. l. }

Chairman, bad the place for a week or a month,
the Mayor being sick. | am sorry the Mayor has
taken this course "
Mr. Lloyd said that II the Mayor was sick, or
away, and requested the chairman Of this board
to act for him, 1t was very different from the pres
Mr.. Moore said the disability was. only from
absence.
Mr. Lloyd said there was wide difference be-
tween voluntary absence and being removed from
the city on q grave charge. " In one case" said
he, 4" be deputies you. Mr.. Chairman, to act for
HIM In the other case IL devolyes on the boards

Mr.. Moore read from the charter to sustain his
view Of the case.
Mr. Bayly said he hoped the board would re-
nect q little before they acted In this matter
There Is no charge brought against the gentleman
now acting; he IL Union man-better than some
who talk 50 much, as he has served bis country
three months In the volunteers This looks very
much like the old party business, and now is the
time to nip IL in the bud Let the Mayor see we
viii have no party In this thing
Mr. Sargent thought, a. the nomination had led
to discussion 10 had better take the usual course
and 20 10 q committee.
The Chair reminded the gentleman that the
board had Suspended the rule requiring IL to go
70 q committee.
Aftsr some discussion, the question Of a recon-
sideration Of the suspension Of the rules was car
RED, and the nomination was referred to the
police committee.
A resolution offered by Mr.. Moore. inquiring Of
the Corporation Attorney as to the mode Of col
lecting Corporation hnes, &C., elected consider
able discussion.
Mr.. Maeruder stated the case at some length,
saying that the act provides that the Metropolitan
Police shall enforce all our Corporation ordi-
nances. How are they TO enforce them unless
they have the power TO collect fines.
Mr.. Bohrer took the same view.
Mr.. Dove (Mr. Brown In the chair) said that
the Metropolitan Police superseded our entire
police force, and all the power lodged in our
police was transferred to the Metropolitan Police
