much individuals may have suffered,
one long step has been taken toward
specie payments; that we can never

that a specie basis a not be reached

exclusive of gold to pay our imports,

MIR. Portner said it had been prepared by q
member Of the Board Of Aldermen, the orlgl-
nator of tho bill creating the Board OF Public
Works, and was for the purpose OF carrying the
latter bill into execution.
On motion Of Mr.. Mckenzie, the bill was
referred to the Finance Committee.
Mr.. Rock introduced resolution providing
for the election of the clerk of the gas works
by the City Council instead of by the Commit
tee on Light He said that on two previous
occasions he had introduced similar resolutions
into this Board, and that on both they had
been adopted almost unanimously, but that the
all powerful influence of one member OF the
Board of Aldermen had defeated them 10 that
Board. The complexion Of that Board had, how
ever, somewhat changed now, and he thought
that the resolution would now receive It's sanction
One member of the Conmittc on Light had told
him that he would prefer that the clerk should
be elected by the City Council The clerk was
an officer Of the Corporation, and the duty OF
electing him belonged TO the City Council. but
had been delegated by it to the Committee
on Light.
Mr. Eichbcrg said that though the appoint
ment of the Clerk belonged to the committee,
yet, as a member of the committee, he should
like to be relieved Of his part of the burden of
the appointing power. 1t Was Il very barrass-
ing position, when one bad several friends anxl-
Gus to ill the office, aud could only vote Tor one.
The resolution was adopted.
Mr. Hopkins made motion, which was car
ried, inviting The Board Of Aldermen into the
chamber for the purpose Of electing municipal
officers.
Mr.. Mckenzie said he thought the custom
was not to elect such officers on the first meet
ing night but to set some time Tor such cleo
ton and give notice of the same, still it would
be good thing if the election could be COM
pcted at once, and before the applicants should
| become numerous.
The annual reports of the Gas Works and
of the Auditor were then received from the
Board Of Aldermen but on motion Of Mr.. Nc
| Kepzie, who said that the old way of receiving
such papers was to have them printed IN the
Alexandria Gazette, they were not read, but
the action of the Board Of Aldermen in order
lug them to be printed was concurred ill., and

message FROM the Board Of AID ermcn decln-
ing an invitation to assemble in joint meeting to
elect municipal officers, the Board at halt-past
