From Tuesdays Daily
In Statu Quo.
City affairs are in about the same un-
settled condition as at the close of the
last council meeting. The war between
a portion of the council and the mayor is
still on; a solution of the difficulty seems
no nearer than before; there are no signs
of concession on either side, and not so
very far in the distance the courts appear
as the only settlement of the disputed
questions.
All of the aldermen, with the excep-
ton of o. 81. Beal, were IN attendance
last evening. The minutes of the last
meeting Of the old council were read,
and upon the question of approval MIR.
Braithwaite objected. The bill of one
Dixon, for street labor, which appeared
in the minutes as having been approved,
was, in his estimation, an unjust one,
and had not been signed by F. Reed,
chairman of the old committee on claims.
After some discussion a recess of five
minutes was taken, during which the
clerk went to his Office and returned
with the bill, bearing upon it the sigma
ture of Mr.. Reed, as having been ap-
proved. Accordingly Mr.. Braithwaite's
objection was withdrawn and the min
utes approved as read.
The minutes of the first meeting of
the new council were then read, and
here the war commenced last Monday
night, was renewed. In the minutes
appeared the rules presented by Mr..
Braithwaite, and also their veto by the
mayor. AS soon as the minutes had
been read MI. Braithwaite moved that
that part containing and relating to the
veto of the mayor be expunged from
the record. MI. Healy seconded, and
Mr.. Reade moved to lay the motion to
expunge on the table. This motion was
not seconded, however, and Mayor Allen
remarked that as long rs his veto was
in writing and on file, it made no
difference to him what the council ex-
plunged.
On the motion to expunge there were
four ayes-Healy, Braithwaite, Robidou
and Cunningham, and three nays-Reade
Gussner and Mcdonald. The motion
was accordingly declared carried.
Mayor Allen then read the appoint
ment of the following standing COM

failure of o. H. Beal to qualify, which
