since our last meeting l received the com.
munlcatlon which tho secretary has Just
read. have also obtained information as
10 the character and capacity of Mr.. Maio-
ney. which find satisfactory. The charges
brought against him are, refusal to answer
charges brought against him by this board.
Ihls charge ia satisfactorily answered by
the TACT that he received the COPY OF the
charges against him on the evening Of the
twelfth instant, and attended two courts
ON the thirteenth, the very day on which
the motion for his removal was made. The
other charges, supported By an erroneous
certlhcate OF registration of one Apper.
son. . colored citizen. is that he registered
this applicant. though he only claimed resi-.
dence in this State since December l3. 1873.
Apperson, the applicant for registration.
was the elave Of the Duncan family, worked
lately. tor more than year, in various parts
OF the State. and when he became aware of
the place OF residence Of his former mas.
ter's family. joined them. and is now, or
was lately. employed by them. As this
case has been the subject Of judicial in.
Huiry by United States Commissioner Wei.
1er. whose decision was in favor Of the
applicant. Apperson. and as, moreover. Mr..
MalOney declares his willingness to respond
to any interro2 atories by this board in ex-
PLANTATION of his official acts within the least
possible time, l an Of opinion that his r..
moval at this time would be an act of in.
justice TO this assistant supervisor. and
contrary to the interests of q fair and i'm.
partial registration. therefore vote
against the resolution.
Being defeated in their efforts to remove
Mr.. Maloney. the assistant superyisos of
the thirteenth ward, the minority, through
Mr.. McCaieb, entered protest against his
retention. They objected. first. because
the Democrats and Conservatives had not
. good opinion OF Mr.. Maloney. and cited
as proof Of his partisan ruling the regis.
trAtion OF Appersoo already disposed of
above; second, Democratic and Conserva-
tive citizens have been required to prod uce
their baptismal cert ifcates; third. he has
not been as exacting Of colored citizens az
he has been Of whites, or words to that
effect: fourth, that Maloney's name has
never been submitted to the advisory
board for their acceptance, whereas Demo
cratic clerks were promptly acted upon,
and two OF them, Douglas jackson. of De
Soto, and John Fitzpatrick, Of Orleans,
were re jected; fifth and lastly, the section
Of the registration law defining the power
and duties of supervisors is quoted, and
Mr.. McCaleb and colleague protest against
Mr.. Maloney being longer continued in the
exercise Of such power OK the performance
Of such duties.

On the minutes do not wish to be under

any one Or more members of this board of
either party to thus object to decision of
the umpire, which he can not avoid, and
who, in this, as in all other cases, has exer-
Used his un biased and impartial Judgment
The conference committee, composed of
,he most trusted Representatives Of both
parties, ieresaw the possibility Of occasional
equal divisions of opinion among the per
'One to whom il delegated the difficult and
duty Of advocating and defend.
