THE ELECTION OF CITY OF-
FICERs.
The Majority OF the Present Ineum-
bents have q walk Over-Changes
Among the Port Wardens-The
Other 0mcers.

There was more than usual interest mani
tested in the election for city officers by the
Board Of Aldermen, which took place last
evening, than has been the case in some
time, judging from the crowd which filed
the Council chamber. It was known that
there would be no opposition to the present
incumbents Of the principal offices,
but there were numerous appli-
cauts for other positions, notably
for Port Wardens, and several vacancies
were to be filed. The friends Of the vari-
Gus applicants were out In force, and the
interest in the proceedings was increased
by the fact, generally understood, that there
had been no caucus. The election lasted
over an hour, and the result we give below.
All the offices except those which are filed
by contract have had their terms prolonged
by recent action OF Council to three years.
Mr.. Frank E. Rebarer, who has been Clerk
OF the Council for several terms, was, as
will be seen, reelected having no opposition.
He has filed the position very acceptably
and creditablY, and the courtesy and ac-
cOmmodating spirit which marks his
official conduct has rendered him popular
with all who have business in that depart
ment. Mr.. James z. Cope, who has had
long service in the City Treasury Depart
ment, and proven himself very competent
aud efficient, both as Assistant Treasurer
and, lately, as Treasurer, was re elected.
Mr.. w. II. BOardley, for eight years Assist
ant Clerk, and, since the inability of Mr..
II. 8. Davis to attend to the duties, acting
Clerk, was elected to the position
of Clerk Of the Market. The changes
were in the Port Wardens, only two
of the old board being returned, though
the others were also known as efficient,
worthy officers, an their numerous friends
regretted they were not reelected. The
election for City Scavenger resulted, as will
be seen, in Captain VIM. SwOll securing the
contract. Capt. Swoll was compelled some
time since to resign the position which he
had filed for many years on account of his
health, which has recently improved. Alder
man Duncan was in favor Of the city doing
the work, as he thought it could be more
efficiently and satisfactorily done. He,
therefore, declined to vote for any OF the
bidders. The applicants were as follows:
Major G. NJ. Ryals bid, 1000 per year;
Mr.. Luke Carson, $4,000 per annum; Capt.
VIM. Swoll, S14 $50 per annum; Meesrs.
Ryals and Heidi, Sl7, 900
The Corporation Attorney by request
passed upon the qualifications of the bonds
rendered by the several applicants, and an
nOunced that those OF Major G. NJ. Ryals
and Captain William Swoll were in proper
form.
