BOARD or couscllMeS.
Final Meeting of the aOld Boord.v

Final Meeting u the "Old BOard.'
The "od Board" OF Councilman met yesterday
afternoon pursuant to adjournment, and In conse-
quence OF the decision of the Court OF Appeals recog
mixing the new Board" as legal organization the
proceedings partook Of the character OF funeral
ceremonies 1t is needless to at length the occa-
sion Of the sudden Official demise OF this body Of city
rulers-wnich has always had 'sngle eye', for the
public good-because a succinct statement OF the
cause OF Its decease appeared In yesterday HERALD
The chief mourners on this occasion were number
OF the members OF the new Board accompanied by
deputaton OF that amiabe class Of fellow citizens
who ever ready TO ''smile with their friends and
to vote the regular democratic ticket. The chamber
was draped in mourning and as prof ound grief
shrnks from vocal expression, the meeting yester.
day was brief and solemn.
The exercises were commenced by President
Stacom who In the immortal language Of Webster,
'stlll lives" for he Is member OF the new Board.
The gay and buoyant Mooney, whose wonderful
elecut0nary powers used to make the reading OF the
minutes Of the Board an amusing entertainment was
called upon TO discharge this duty for the last time
1t was observable that the meliiuous tones of his
voice were nged by the sadness OF the hour and his
part Of the s Sns was with becoming
buttons thanking the President (Mr. Stacom), Mr..
Jonn E. Greene the clerk his assistants and the re-
porers OF the press for the ability with which they
discharged their respective duties; also resolution
directing that all the papers pending the action OF
all OF which were unanimously adopted.
Previous TO adjournment without date the pres
dent thanked the Board for the compliment which
they paid to him In their expiring moments; but the
solemnity which pervaded the whole assemblage
choked his utterances and 1t Ia to be feared that the
requiem which he chanted was unheard by the
mourning company. IL might have been the appro-
pirate quotation, "Old things passed away.n
Philosophers tell US that the ruling instinct OF man
is strong iii his last moments and will manifest itself
in some way or other. This theory Ia certainly
plausible, for could not fail to have observed that
a few moments before the extinction OF the "old
Board" members were busily engaged IN packing up
stationery, oficia documents and portfolios which
were placed at their disposal during their Official life
time, aud subsequently rt OF one Of the departed
Councilmen reverberated the intelligence through
the chamber that some brother In the flesh had run
away with portfolio that belonged to him.
The new Board will probably meet to-day at noon
