tore. Mr.. Mccarthy, he said, had made
"A good and faithful officer, and that he

who sought the place. The other gen
tlemen, he said, were all good citizens.
He had no preference among them, and
if Mr.. Mccarthy was rejected, would
nominate them in rotation. as they had
applied to him.
Daniel Met arthy was then placed in
nomination. He received two votes for
| confirmation, against six for rejection.
Mayor Winter then nominated Robert
Billingsly. Mr.. Billingsly received but
! one vote in his favor, the remaining seven
aldermen voting against him.
William Harrigan was next nomina-

ing them to vote for his confirmation,
and four of them, Aldermen Wright,
Patier, McGauley and Parker had signed
