On Monday evening large number OF mer-
chants and business men Of the city assembled
in the rooms Of the Cotton Exchange to discuss
the propriety of securing the election of good.
intelligent and substantial men as delegates to
the approaching constitutional convention. Mr..
Thomas ]. Semmes was elected chairman and
Perry Nugent, ESQ. sc ,retary. After lengthy
discussion 1t was resolved that in the selection
OF delegate7 no regard should be had to politics
or party affiliations, but that Ii was necessary to
have good and compel ent men as representa-

suit OF the meeting was that q com mittee was
appointed to devise the most feasible way OF full

AT THE OPENING

OF the Council Administrator Marks arose to a
privileged question. After quoting the follow
ing words from the report of one Of the morn
ing papers of me citing held ON the previous
night at the Cotton Exchange:
1T was maintained that certain class Of Dem
ocrats had powerful organization. which
was already up and doing. and the opinion pre-
vailed that It was to the interests of the city
that they should be beaten. TIE abstract idea
OF Democracy was notass sailed, but the applied
fact that It was In the hands OF city admins
tration clique, whose object was personal pro-
at and aggran dizement. was the moving i'm.
pulse and object of combat. The purpose Of
the gath ering was to organize power against
the elements that ordinarily compose ward
elections, and from this nucleus to throw out
opposing factions that might defeat the already
organized movements within the wards. 1t is
popularity believed that the local officers OF
prominence have made a slate TO pack the con-
yention insofar az New Orleans is concerned and
the movement inaugurated last night an oppo-
hind 1t"
Mr.. Marks said. that as a member Of the city
administration. he denied that the adminfstra-
uon mad taken any steps towards electing dele
gates to the constitutional convention. The
ume OF the administrators had been taken up

ANOTHER Debate.

Upon report OF Administrator Marks fsvor-
able to the reduction of the assessment on eapi-
tai of Mr.. J. Brugiers from $4,000 to 5000. Ad
ministrsior Houston objected. he said that II
was well known that scarcely any OF our mer
chan s returned their true capital Many wao
did busine.s amounting TO from $500 COG 70
$500 600 made returns OF INSIGNIFICANT capitol
4 at the present applicant could Lot transact
his business on such a small ,sapital as he
claimed 10 own. Besides the return was not
sworn 10.
Administrator Marks explained tba' Mr.. Bru-
giere had been assessed for only &5090 for the
0 st Ave years. but that through error. he had
$4,000 more; believing that It came under the
head of capital, he bad based his report on his
satisfaction that Mr. Brugi, re was not possessed
If mnre capital than he returned. The reason
why the return was not sworn to was because
Mr.. Brugiere Was sick abed.
The mater was. on motion OF Administrator
Houston. referred to the committee of the
whole.

SALARIES TO ne TAXED.

Administrator Marks. having reported favor
ably on relieving observation-disclosures Rengstorff
from the revenue tax on his salary, Admins
traitor Houston objected again.
Administrator Marks remarked that his re-
port was accom- anied by the W itten opinion Of
the City Attorney, that tue salary OF an admin
istraior could not be- taxed.
Mr.. Houston piled that he regretted the diff
ference OF opinion which existed In his mind :
that 1t was a bad precedent to establish !; and
upon n vote being taken the report WIS tabled.
Mr.. Houston now moved TINT the City Attor-
ney be instructed to sue Mr.. Rengstoff for the
recovery Of the tax.
Mr.. Marks objected by referring again to the
opinion of the City Attorney
We'll" said Mr.. Houston. i wish this Council
to say that It does not agree with the opinion of
the City Attorney. Let the matter go to the
courts to be determined upon"
The motion Of Mr.. Houston was adopted.

On the question OF the report of a committee
appointed to investigate the matter, and which
report will be found in full In the official pro-

Gynn said that he had signed the report. but
that he was not disposed to enforce the law re-

short period as forty-eight hours when the

Administrator Behan said that In such cases
the law was never enforced under three or four
days.
signed the report. because he did not believe
that one branch Of the Western produce should
have any advantage over another The levee
ordinances had been sufficiently abused. Corn
arriving here passed through second and third
hands before leaving the landing, to the detri-
ment OF other dealers who had TO pay heavy
rents and storage. TIE laborers. draymen and
warehouse kee pers, be thought, had as much
right to derive benefit from the commerce of
the city as any other persons. Nowhere. he
added. is the landing place OF vessels used for
storing purposes. As to the injury charged
that the enforcement of the ordinances might
do to commerce, he did not believe it, for
statistics will show that larger quantity OF the
grain that comes here comes in bulk. and is
never discharged on the levee. He thought
1t was the duty of the administration to protect
one interest rs well as another.
Administrator Chevalley said that he had
signed the report because In his opinion these

was opposed to the using OF the wharves and
landings as warehouses, and to propitlating
men who carried their offices In their hats
their stores and licenses TO the city.
Administrator Glynn replied that he did not
wish to encourage men who carried their Offices
in their hats. but he objected to the enforce
ment OF the forty eight hour ordinance. The
arguments relating to the interests Of draymen
and laborers were short-sighted ones. II the
