MUNICIPAL LEGISLATION.
The City Hall Scheme Finally Knocked
Out of Time.
An Exciting Discussion, in Which Several
Members Make Spectacles of Them
selYes-The Board.

A special meeting of the Common Council was
held, last night, for considering the report upon
the preparations for beginning the erection Of
the city hall and market-house building
claim for 81, 05, on account of services in
preparing plans and specifications for the pro-
posed city hall building, was presented by archi-
tects J. H. & A. H. Stem which, with the
81, 900 that has already been paid them, makes
the total of their bill SO, 1905. The injunction
against the erection of the building having
stopped work, and a new commission
having been appointed, the Messrs
Stem claim that, contrary to all
rules of professional courtesy and justice,
Mr.. Bohlen was induced to compete, from which
followed general competition which has taken
the work out of our hands. The architects
further claim that they acted in good faith, and
still ready to fulfill their agreement; there
fore they demand the full amount which would
be due them according to the regular rates of
the profession if they had executed their con-
tract The claim was referred to the commit
tee on accounts and claims, on judiciary, and the
city attorney.
THE SPECIAL COMMITTEES REPORT.
The special committee to whom was referred
the report of the city hall commissioners pre-
sented a series of whereases embodying their re-
port, stating that the plans adopted provide
only for large hall with market space under
neaCh, that the city has no title to the ground
known as the market space; that the interest of
the city in the Tomlinson fund is conditional upon
the provisions of the Tomlinson will that the
title which the city now holds to the ground
known as the market space will not permit the
erection of the buildings contemplated in the
Tomlinson will, and under the provisions
of the will it cannot safely undertake the
erection of the building provided for by
the plans. Therefore, the committee offered a
resolution providing that the further considera
ton of the matter shall be postponed until after
the next session of the Legislature" The mayor,
the city attorney, and Councilmen Spahr Ben
jamin, McClelland, Reynolds Dowpey, Bowling
and Haugh, the resolution further proposed,
shall be appointed special committee to bring
the matter before the General Assembly, with
view to securing permission for the erection of
the proposed buildings Immediately after which
work shall be begun

bardment, but demonstrated the practical
bility of Ericcson's invention and so prepared
the way for that splendid series of naval
operations in inland waters which ultimately
resulted in the reopening of the Mississippi,
the dismemberment of the Confederacy and
the collapse of the rebellion. If Captain
Worden or Lieutenant Greene had succeeded
in that combat in sinking the Merrimac ON
the spot, the result could not have been any
more advantageous to the Union arms than
it actually proved.
We recall this illustrious achievement at
the present time, because it appears that the
subcommittee of the House Committee on
Naval Affairs has at last reported bill pro-
viding for the appropriation Of 100000 for
the relief of the officers and crews of the
Cumberland and Monitor who participated
in the actions at Hampton Roads. The COM
mittee admit that, inasmuch as it is not a
matter of record that the Merrimac was
actually captured and destroyed, the claim
to prize money must be rejected, but they
take the ground that the evidence of "con-
spicuous gallantry and devoted patriotism,
as well as extraordinary services rendered
by the officers and crews of these ships,
entities them to a generous and grateful
recognition by the country" There can be no
doubt as to that, and we trust that not only
the survivors of this memorable action, but
the veterans who shared with Farragut the
honor of capturing the city of New Orleans
viii yet receive that generous and grateful
recognition. The latter have both law and
equity on their side.

That Famous Battle in Hampton Roads


That Famous Battle in Hampton Roads.
There were few events OF the war which
were hailed with such popular rejoicings as
the result of the engagement between the
Monitor and Merrimac in Hampton Roads
on the 9th of March, 1862. Our readers
know the story-how the preceding day
the rebel monster boldly made her appear
ance at Newport News, and after sinking
the Cumberland, destroying the Congress
and inficting serious damage on the Mime
sofa and other vessels Of the Union navy,
unconcernedly returned to Norfolk with
the intention Of resuming the work of de-
struction in the morning; and how that
same night Ericcson's experimental iron
clad, which many persons predicted would
never reach her destination, arrived from
New York, and, notwithstanding her insig-
nifcant size and appearance, boldly gave
battle, next day, to her formidable antago-
mist. The encounter was brief but decisive
During the engagement, which lasted two
hours, the Monitors gallant commander,
Captain Worden, was severely wounded; but
Lieutenant Greene, assuming command, re-
newed the attack, and the MerTimac, with
out accepting his challenge, withdrew in the
direction of Norfolk, having sustained seri-
Gus though not fatal damage. Her COM
mander, Lieutenant Catesby Jones, in his
report summed up her injuries as follows:
The stem is twisted and the ship leaks we have
lost the PROV, starboard anchor and ali the boats
/ the armor is somewhat damaged the steam pipe
and smoke stack both riddled, and the nluzzles OF
/ two of the guns shot away.
Although not actually disabled, it is clear
| that the Merrimac WAS not in any condition
to renew the conflict, and that all the mate
rial results of the encounter were in the
Monitors favor. 1t certainly will not be
disputed by anybody that the Monitor then
and there put an end to the ATerrimac's
career as naval destroyer, and from that
date to the evacuation of Norfolk by the
Confederates, when she was blown up to
prevent her from falling into our hands, she
never ventured to modest the Union fleet
again BY this single action the Monitor
not only relieved the old wooden hulks Of
the navy of the danger which threatened
them. and quoted the alarm which was fell
at Washington, Baltimore and New York
lest this strange Confederate craft should
suddenly appear before some one of those
cities and subject it to destructive bonn.

DEPARTMENT Commander Davis, of CAL
ifornia, in special circular, dated May Is,
calls attention to the announced purpose of
the churches of a certain denomination The
does not say which, to unite in picnic and
excursion on Memorial Day, and protesting
against it as an innovation upon the sane
tity of the anniversary, as well as lacking
in respect for the memory of our Nations
defenders, appeals to the public sentiment
which instituted the day to keep it invio-
late for all time to eome. 1t is astonishing
that the action of religious body should
have rendered this appeal necessary. If the
churches encourage by such examples the
dissertation of Memorial Day, how long,
think they, viii public respect for the Sab
bath survive?

SECTION 1851 of the Revised Statutes
reads as follows:

SECTION 1851 of the Revised Statutes
reads as follows:
Perons honorably discharged from the military
naval service by reason of disability resulting
from wounds sickness incurred in the line of
duty, shall be preferred for appointments TO civil
offices, provided they are found to possess the
business capacity necessary for the proper dis
charge of the duties of such offices.
The Governments indisposition to enforce
this statute, the intent of which is unmis-
taxable, is strikingly illustrated in the case
of the Fredonia IN. " postmastership. The
applicants for the Office were Comrade Sid
ney L. Wilson, who lost both legs at the
battle of Gettysburg and Miss Pemberton,
clerk in the Office, none of whose relatives
served in the Union army. The formers
application was numerously signed by his
fellow-citizens, and abundant evidence offer
ed as to his character and ability, yet in
spite of the clear provisions of the law, his
request was ignored and the name of Miss
Pemberton sent to the Senate instead of his
own. Here is an excellent chance for ou1
Senators to go on record as in favor of the
enforcement of section 1854.
