Municipal Affairs.


NEW YORK, January 2.-After yes
terday's storm in municipal affairs a
comparative calm has settled upon the
City Hall. The police are at present in
possession OF both chambers OF the
Common Council. In explanation OF
efforts on the part of the old Board to
retake possession, notwithstanding the
impeachment of the Mayor by the old
board yesterday, the resolutions they
passed were to-day sent to the Mayor
for bis approval.
Judge Barrett was duly installed as
Judge OF the Supreme Court to-day and
also the other Judges elected last No
vember.
The new Board of Assistant Aldermen
met at noon today and after several un-
successful attempts to elect a President
adjourned till Thursday. The police
were on hand to preserve order, as it
was thought the old board might at
tempt to take possession of the chamber,
Dut no attempl WAS lnaue.
The old Board OF Assistant Aldermen
gathered around the Council Chamber,
which was occupied by the newly elect
ed Board, this afternoon but die not at
tempt to enter, as a body of policemen
were present to preserve order. A
meeting was held outside, and there
being no quorum present the clerk
postponed the meeting until Monday.
Serious ARRAY on q Schooner.

wounded two others in a quarrel.
New Years Day
was celebrated in this city with much
convivial enjoyment. Although the
weather was somewhat threatening
through the day, calls were quite as

tual congratulations seemed the order OF
the day.
1t was reported last evening that

The meeting Of the Tammany Society,
which was called for last evening to
take action upon the connection OF
Tweed, Hall, Sweeney aud Connolly
with the organization, adjourned for
want OF quorum.
The action Of the City Councils yes
terday is talked Of all over the city,
and has created great excitement.
The Impeachment OF Mayor Hall,
by the old Board Of Aldermen, was
quite surprise TO the Tammanyites.
1t is not probable that, for the present,
the new Board will do anything further
concerning the impeachment Of the
Mayor. The resolutions as passed by
the old board were rescinded, unanl-
mously, after assembling. The Mayor
says the impeachment proceedings took
him by surprise, and that he retaliated
effectually. The memorial 10 the
Senate, asking the exclusion OF Tweed,
is in the interest OF ODonovan Rosa,
who was Tweed's opponent, and recites
charges which have been brought
against the old board.
The Nomination OF Smith,
by the Republican Legislature at Al
bany, yesterday, is triumph for the
administration. The Tribune charges

Grating at Albany to secure Smiths
nomination.
