Gentlemen and Members of The Council: You
are all gentlemen of intelligence and mon Of
honor. You can therefore appreciate the de-
elective Office without having received the suf-
RACES fthe people. lean only assure you that
I shall do my duty to you and to the people OF
Charleston 10 the best of my ability.
Both of the above addresses were extompo-
raneous in their character, and, as matter Of
public interest, we have published them YER
batim.
Alderman Whilden said: 1t is proper that in
parting at time like this with one with whom
we have been associated for over two years
past, We should give some slight expression to
our feelings. wish that l could express all
iceland have no doub. most of you will COLI
cur with me-but prudence and the respect
that is due TO our new Mayor suggest that
these feelings should be controlled. They,
nevertheless, have sank deeply in our hearts,
and will stir the hearts CT all interested in our
city where most of US have been born and nur-
tured, and of which, in her desolation, We are
still proud. And ii, gentlemen, all of her sons
possess the same unsulied purity that has
characterized our recently removed Mayor, We
would have less frequent occasion for regret.
Living and dying for principle has always been
extolled as an example worthy of imitation. Ii
our late Mayor had, by the usual and legal pro-
cess, been displaced, 1T would have been a SUBJ
ject Of regret; but, under the present circum-
stances of his removal, ought it not to be
rathor subject of congratulation on the part
of our citizens that he has been removed from
Office with his character pure and unsullied!
In conclusion allow me to offer the following
preamble and resolution:
Whereas, Hon. P. g. Gaillard has been re-
moved by the military authorities from his po-
sition us Mayor OF the City of Charleston.
Therefore. be it
Rescued, That this Council exceedingly re-
gret the removal of Colonel Gaillard from his
position as Mayor of the City and presiding
officer OF this Board; that Colonel Gailard will
carry with him our best wishes, and that as
Board and individually he has cur thanks for
the sterling integrity and manly candor which
have always characterized him in his inter-
course with this Council.
The resolution was adopted.
On motion of Alderman Ravenel the Council
then adjourned.
The members and many OF the spectators
then took occasion to pay their respects per-
sc nally to the new Mayor, and, after few mo-
ments of conversation, retired.
