meeting Tuesday night, while everything
was passing along smoothly, one Of our
extremely yirtuous citizens and self.
nominated "ci:iEens'" candidate for
Mayor, james W. Highleyman, Esq, by
leave Of the President Of Council, made
the suggestion that the books Of the Mar.
shal be investigated; because Of the arti-
cles appearing in some Of the neighbor-
ing papers, and because the citizens de.
mSnded II. Finally he made 3 motion
that an investigation be had, which, Of
course, was promptly ruled out by Presi.
dent Miller, Highleyman not being .
member Of Council. Mr.. Bippus
said he had heard no COM
plants about the Marshal; he had
only seen an article in the Wheeling
Resiaer bearing on that subject, and he
did not place much confidence In that
paper, il was not 4 reliable sheet; but rs
an investigation had been called for, he
moved that a committee be appointed TO
examine the books Of the city officials.
The Chair appointed John W. Sanders
and Charles Henry on the part Of the cit
izens, and A. W. Sheppard and William
Douglass on the part Of Council.
Marshal Drugan here arose and said II
"he was to be investigated be wanted IL
done by honest men, Policeman Nc
Cormick also said the same thing.
Mr.. Roeder said they had better state
who 1t was they objected to. The Mar.
shall replied that il was Amos Sheppard
whom they objected to, and said again
they wanted honest men 10 carry on the
Investigation. Sheppard then commenced
to recount the old story OF how Drugan
had swindled the city Of money paid to
him by Thomas Lilley. At last Drugan
said, Sheppard, you are a liar by the
watch |" and got up TO ''go for" him, but
was retrained by some Of the persons
present. Drugan did not strike at Shep-
pard, as the special TO the Register states.
Strange to say, this happened at the last
lbut by no means the least regular
meeting Of the present Council. Reqaieseat
