MI Beall thereupon asked a suspension of the
rules, when objection was made, and Mr.. Tav.
Tor claiming that he was entitled to the floor
was about to resume his reports when Mr.
Hatton insisted that his motion was in order
and debate ensued in which some feeling
was exhibited, interrupted by dilatory motions
and finally Mr.. Mcknight moved that no
moton be entertained until the Cnairmaa of
tne Improvement Committee should complete
his reports; which motion was adopted At
this point Messrs. Hatton, Browne and BealI
took their hats and LETT the hall, and the PresI.
against them. Mr.. Taylor proceeded with his

thar he would order fine to be entered against

mission. Mr.. Hatton.-"How much is the

Mr.. Hatton.-"1hen I'll leave" tsuiung the
action TO the words.) After the committee had
concluded, and a motion to adjourn had been
made, the Chair SAID that at the beginning of
the Council he stated that he hoped nothing
he did not arroeate to himself any peculiar
ability, he had, in his official relations, done
the best he could. He had asked and would
give courtesy and charity to its fullest extent,
and If he had erred ii was OF the head and not
oi the heart He deeply regretted the scenes
witnessed this evening, because the Board was
wholly Republican, and therefore there should
be no chickering's. He was willing and able TO
attend 10 his duties. He had directed a fine to
be imposed on the members who had left the
Board, and his decision was as irrevocable as
the laws Of the Medes and Persians, unless the
Board concluded 10 remit. the fines. The Board
at ii 4. O'Clock adjourned.
