THE OUTRAGE CoNsUMMATED.-The Re-
publican members of the City Council, last
night, in obedience to the behest of secret
caucus of their own members, held on Mon
day evening last, entirely ignored and set
aside the right of the Mayor, under city
ordinance, to recommend suitable persons
for the policemen of the city, taking the
matter in their own hands and appointing
them, in violation of every principle of law,
usage and courtesy. But this IL not all.
They put through, under ''whip and spur"
an ordinance giving to themselves the power
to appoint the Chiefof Police, right which
by law and precedent, has hitherto belonged
to the Mayor alone. Heretofore ithas been
the usage and practice of the City Council
to give all ordinances proposed, first, Sec
ond and third reading at consecutive meet
ings of the Council, before their final pas
sage. This usage and practice was set aside
last night, and the ordinance referred to
was rushed through under suspension of
the rules.
We do not refer to this subject in spirit
of complaint or fault-fnding, but merely to
let the public know TO what small and con-
temptible uses partisan feeling and bitter
ness may descend. In the views we have
expressed, we are not alone. We have
heard, to-day, the action of the Council in
this particular, emphatically denounced by
many OF their own party.
1t was little, contemplate business, but
in all respects worthy of those who were
engaged in 1t. ,e.sr1-slt.
