Mr.. Gryrnes's Resignation Accepted.
The Clerk next read the resignation Of
T.. Il. Grymes, clerk to the City Treasurer,
forwarded TO the Joint session by order of
the Board of Aldermen at its last meet
ing.
Mr.. Courtney moved that il be filed.
MIR. Houston as q substitute moved that
the resignation be accepted.
The Chair handed the Clerk the opinion
of the City Attorney, which was read.
This was TO the effect that the charter does
not authorize anybody TO receive the re-
signation of city officer, and therefore
such right could only be had by implica-
ton. The clerk to the Treasurer was
elected by Joint session; therefore the
same body must have the authority TO re-
ceive his resignation. The charter stated
that when not otherwise provided the
Council in joint session must elect city otfl-
GERS for unexpired terms.
Mr.. Houston's motion to receive the re-
signation was renewed and adopted.

ton. Adopted.
MIR. Gray nominated Mr.. Il. S. Chamber
layne. VINO had. he said. been in his en-
ployment for fifteen years. IL he was to
die to-day he would be perfectly willing to
leave everything in Mr.. Chamberlayne's
hands for the benefit OF his (Gray's) wife
and children. which was the highest COM
mendation he could bestow on any man.
A communication was received from City
Treasurer Childrey containing list of the
applicants for the clerkship and the testi-
monials of each.

ALDERMAN TAYLOR STEAKS.
Mr. Taylor took the floor IN advocacy of
Mr.. Libbey's claims. whom he highly en-
dorsed in flights of eloquent oratory. In
conclusion Mr.. Taylor begged his hearers
in his most appealing manner to vote for
