AID. Glenn moved to throw out the second
precinct OF the Seventh ward.
Aid. Andrews opposed the motion, on the
ground that certain precincts had made no
returns, and so some Of the candidates had
been defeated.
Aid. Johnson explained that no votes had
been returned from the second precinct of
the Third ward for Mr.. Bassett, and no votes
were returned for Mr.. Chute from one OF the
precincts in the Second ward.
Alderman Morse advocated referring the
matter to a committee.
Alderman Glenn was Of the opinion that
the council had no right to do anything in the
premises, arguing that the candidate must
first make protest.
Alderman Morse moved to lay the matter
on the table till Saturday, and after debate
the motion was lost, and Aid. Glenn's mo-
ton was withdrawn, and the report of the
committee was accepted, and Aid, Johnson
moved that the candidates receiving The
largest number of votes as per report be de-
clared elected, and the motion prevailed.
Aid. Pillsbury rendered his resignation as
alderman and rendered his thanks to the
council for the kindness received in the
council He would by far have preferred to
have occupied a chair in the council than to
have heen elected to the duties of mayor.
He wanted to testify to the good feeling and
fellowship, and the fidelity with which the
council had discharged its duties during the
time in which he had been a member.
The resignation was accepted upon the
motion of Aid. Morse. The thanks of the
council were rendered Mr. Pillsbury for the
able and impartial manner in which he had
presided at the meetings of the council.
A special election, upon motion of Aid.
Parker was ordered held in the Fifth ward on
the 18th of April, to elect an Alderman
to fill the vacancy occasioned by the resigna-
ton Of AID. Pillsbury.
