The election OF officers in the Julii

represented. There was no opposition
whatever to the installation Of the oil
Board, although the Call gave such 81
intimation this morning in one Of ii

say unimportant because we are growing
accustomed to the frauds daily unearthed
up around the City Hall. The latest de.

dents Office. Old Doc. Rice, after con-
sultation with counsel, refuses TO answer
any more impairment inquiries made by
tho Board Of supervisors. The uphsayal
among city and county offices was
brought about by Messrs. Dosring and
