Jonr CONVENTION or CRY CouNcILs.-Thb
afternoon, Select and Common C0uncllswill meet
In joint convention for the purpose OF elecung
member Of the Board Of Guardians Of the Poor.
This will be the third attempt made 10 elect this
officer, at neither time the convention being able
10 secure a quorum. The difficulty seems TO be
that minority OF the Republican caucus arc
dissatisfied with the nominee, and 10 prevent his
election they, together with the Democratic side
Of the house, absent themselves from the con
Vention, and thus prevent quorum from being
present, and of course no election can take place.
Two Of the members Of Select Council positively
rpiuse 10 10 into the convention, and as the
Democrats OF that chamber manifest the Same
disposition, even II the convention elects, there
will only he a minority Of one branch present.
II Is conended by some that there must be
majority Of both branches represented in the
convention,
