Around the CITY Hall.

Both Boards Of Aldermen held their semi-weekly
meetings yesterday. The business was of routine
character, and was conducted in q somewhat list
less manner, consequent upon the news from
Albany, the passing OF the charter legislating
both boards out of Office at an early date. Among
the nonprofessional politicians, such as Aldermen
Van Schack, Gilsey and Vance. there was evidently
feeling OF great Satisfaction that the charter had
got so far on the way of becoming law. This feel
ing was also shared by President COchrane.
Several OF these members said that under the
present constitution OF the Board they were unable
TO do more than prevent jobbery and corruption
municipal reforms, they were utterly unable
to accomplish. In support of this 1t was. in
stanced that the necessary number OF votes to pave
South Fifth avenue could not be obtained at u
recent meeting similar expression OF sentiment
pervaded in the Board of Assistant Aldermen, many
OF the members Of which said il far better TO be
wiped out of official existence by the charter than
be organized for the preparation OF the many
fagrant jobs that had already been run through the
Board.

The Chnrter Among the WOrklngmen.
The announcement Of the passage Of the new
charter created considerable comment and some
excitement among the workingmen in the city yes
terday afternoon, and many and various were the
gentlemen who "rose to explain" their views on
the now decided question. This sudden interest in
the matter arose from the fact that most people
had somehow got impressed with the belief
that the Legislature at least during It's present
session. would fail to pass the charter. Why such
belief existed 1t is not difficult to determine. Many
there were who repeatedly declared that the lead
ers OF the party now In power little better
than their immediate predecessors; that, In fact,
they were considerably in some respects;
that, with the same inherent willingness to gorge
themselves with the rich meats OF political life in
New York. they came newly to the feast with the
