A MurddIe.

There seems to be trouble in regard to the calling for the new election in the Eleventh ward The Common Council called for a new election on the 21st of the present month, and the Board of Aldermen at their meeting on Wednesday evening changed the time to December 30, which is said to be just one day toolate. The Board of Council men will meet again next Monday evening, but seemingly too late to correct the error and get a concurrent vote from the Board of Aldermen. What the result will be does not yet appear, but it looks as though the matter
 nicft not be settled until next year or after the new Court of Common Council is in- stalled. when there will be found g vacancy in the Eleventh ward, and before the same can be filled an election of commissioners to fill vacancies may take place, which will give the Democrats majority in all the Boards.
