1t is we'll TINT the facts leading up to the
present conflict in the Mayors office should
not be confused. forgotten, or overlooked, as
the history grows rapidly with the eYents Of
each day. CoIy1s was elected in November,
1873, under the old charter, to serve two
years, ending Dec. l, 1876. In April, 1876,
CoLv1s and his friends forced upon tho city
tho new charter, which charter legfslated all
the then incumbcnts out of Office, but au-
thorized them to exercise the powers Of such
ot'lces until the people should fill the Offices
by election. The Common Council might
have called a special election to fill the W.
cancies at any time aftcr the charter was de-
clared adopted, in May, 1875, but there WAS
no popular demand therefor tls public,
though disguised with GOWN, we're content
to let him serve out tho two yaarB for which
| he was elected. But tho Common Council
did not call special election in No
vembcr last, thereby showing an in
tention Of continuing CoLv1N in Office
beyond the time for which be had been
originally elected, against the pere1nptoty
prohibition Of tho Constitution on TINT point,
