MORNING, SEPTEMBER IA, 1870

The CITY COLLECToRsHIP.-Att the meet
ing of the Council on Monday evening, as
stated in our report of the proceedings OF
that body, a resolution was passed removing
Mr.. William B. Davidson from office as City
Collector and designating Dir. Charles Nj.
Peasants as his successor. Yesterday morn.
ing, armed with this resolution, Mr.. Plea
SAINTS went to Mr.. Davidson and demanded
possession. MIR. Davidson declined, stating
that he was still Collector under the law,
and he still continues to exercise the duties
of the office. .-.....
Later in the day Mr.. Davidson received
two other communications, neither of
which has so far had the effect con-
tempated by the Council. The one was
from the Auditor, directing him to pay over
to the City Treasurer all money In his
hands belonging to the city, and to deliver
to the Auditor all unpaid tax bills in his
Possession. The other was the notice
which the City Clerk is required by the 9th
section of the charter to serve upon per-
son removed from Office, whereby the latter
is directed to turn over to his successor al
papers,. books, and other property belong
ing to the city, in his possession.
IF this requirement is not complied with
within ten days after it's date the offender is
subject to fine of $500.
1t will be remembered that Mr.. Davidson
! was elected to the Office which he now holds
| by the Council appointed by the Governor
under the enabling act. Mr.. Pleasants wa.
elected by the people at the general election
on the fourth Thursday in May. Each i
sustained in his claim by high legal autho
rity.

MEETING OF FRENcHMEN AND FRENCH
SYMPATHIzERs.-At q meeting held last
night at the City Hall by a large number of
our citizens to give expression to their
sympathy for the French nation in her pre-
sent struggle with Prussia, the following
resolutions were unanimously adopted
Whereas we learn with profound re-
gret that the soil of France is invaded by
the troops Of the German Confederation,
under the nominal leadership OF William,
King of Prussia, actuated and directed by
his Prime Minister, Bismarck, that mar
vellous intriguer: and
Whereas that in the defence of historic,
civilized, and civilzing France from such
degradation, spoliatiOn, sacrllege, crueltIes,
and all the other attendant enormltles OF
foreign invasion, many of the nobest and
most chivalrous sons of France have been
either killed or wounded; and
"Whereas this meeting entertains none
other than sentiments of kindness and re-
gard for the German people, but do sympa-
thize with France as the mother OF rel-
gious, international, and universal liberty,
and contemn the house of Branderburg as
the representative Of traditional feudal des-
potism therefore be it
PesoLued. That, while deploring the
unfortunate and untimely contest, we,
Frenchmen and descendants Of French
men, do hereby openly express our sympa-
thies with the Motherland in this the hour
oil her trial.
L" Resolved, That the portion Of this
meeting which is not French, but who do
sympathize with France (withOut regard to
nationality or creed, but remembering La
fayette,) although rendered poor and tor
lorn by recent internal disSensiOns, will
cheerfilly unite with their fellow-citizens
of French birth and origin in contributing
the widows mte-the best they can-to-
ward the aleviation of the wants and suffer-
ings of the soldiery of France.
" Resolved, That in consideration OF the
active and material aid extended TO this
country by France in 17l6-in the darkest
hour of her struggle for liberty-We hail 1t
both as duty and pleasure to extend the
hand of welcome to the new French Re-
public. and to send across the Atlantic the
message God speed in the glorious work
she has commenced, and to express the
hope that the work will 90 on until not
yestige of despotA@p remains to disgrace
her consecrated sM and that they will
nersevere in their efforts until all Europe
Shall become one vast sisterhood OF repu-
blics.
"Resolued, That it is our prayer to see
peace restored with amity among the peo-
ples and nationalties, and no dimlnutlon,
disgrace, or humiliation, to any OF the bel
hgerents." ,-
Pending the adoption Of the above reso:
lutions, Mr.. J. Harmer Gllmer was called
upon, and made most eloquent and i'm.
martial sDeech. His remarks abounded
with stirring illusions, and were received
with applause.
Messers. McMahon and A. Noise, Jr., ad,
dressed the meeting.
After which, a motion requesting. the
press of the city to publish the proceedings
of the meeting was carried. -.
The meeting then adjourned.
