CITY COUNCIL. "A meeting Of the City Coun.
ell was held at FIVE o'clock yesterday evening,
upon the call of the Presidents of the respec.
tive Boards at the instance of members there
of. As it was generally supposed that the
action of the meeting would affect in some way
the existing difficulty between tho Mayor and
the Board of Police, large crowd OF specta-
tors was present in both chambers For off,
cial proceedings see another column.
In the Common Council after the President
had stated the reasons which induced him TO
call the meeting. MIR. Shinn said that with the
cole object OF efieoting compromise, aud for
the sake of peace, he had prepared bill which
be vas assured would be acceptable to the
Mayor, and which, if passed by the City Coun,
ell would enable the force elected under the
Police bill to qualify at once, and 60 on duty
without any further difficulty. The bill was
then read the st, Pad and 3rd times, the 26th
rule suspended, and passed unanimously.
la the Board OF Aldermen the bill which
had been passed by the Council was opposed
by MessrS French and Simpson as totally uu
necessary, and by the passage OF which the
Board would stultiiy itself and imply that it
had acted without knowing what it was
doing. 1t was said it had been introduced as
a pacific measure, aud to alsy excitement.
The Board OF Aldermen had certainly done
nothing to disturb the peace or TO cause ex
cltsment and consequently if pacific measures
were necessary those who had occasioned the
necessity must take those measures or bear the
responsibility.
Alessrs. Suite, Agnew and Harmon favored
the passage OF the bill. The concurrence OF
the Board with .the action of the Common
Council would imply no qualification. The
whole difficulty was about nothing, Point no
Point, aud if by the passage OF the bill the ex
i,tlng condition OF affairs could be set TO rights
they could see no valid objection to arriving at
that desirab result
Mr. Suite hodng that five votes, the mum
Der necessary, could not be obtained in favor
Of the bill, offered substitute for the purpose,
lie said, of putting curb upon the power OF
the Mayor to appoint special policemen IN
cases o emergency.
This was opposed, too, by Nlessrs French and
Simpson and by hlr. Agnew, aud was lost by
vote OF to 3 and the question reconcurring
upon the passage Of the bill rs it came from
the Common Council, it was lost for want Of
constitutional majority. Both Boards then
adjourned.
