reason many ani-ring people intend to re-
sign unless their forces win at the cleo
ton.
A member in referring to the coming
election. said:-''The result of the elec-
tion, will l think. determine theg future
of the club. For long time it has been
neither a political nor social factor in the
ward, nor is it any longer respected as
highly as 1t should be. The recent
tactics employed by the ring people, are
Objectionable to the decent element who
therefore have signffied their intention
of resigning from the club unless new
rules are adopted for the management Of
the club house.
Card playing until after midnight is an
abominable practice. It serves to lower
the club in the estimation of certain
people and it has given the club a bad
name. 1t should be stopped at once. An
effort will be made to re-elect a set of
anti-ring officers and Board of Cover
nors and the present management will be
radically changed for the better
Mr.. John P. Landrfne said he was truly
disgusted with the club as it is at present
with its card games and unless changes
were made he would possibly send in his
resignation.

THE foURTH'S BALL.
Arrangements Are Being Success
ful1y Made.

There is every probability of most
glorious termination of the coming ar
mory ball, to be held on February q, in
the regimental quarters on Bergen ave-
nue. and Church street. The various COM
mittees have succeeded III completing an
enormous amount of work. So far, no
contracts have been given out. The work
of securing various bids has been car
ried out successfully. 1t is likely that
some awards will be made at the next
committee meeting.
The committee has been delayed by the
tardiness of the ladies asked to act as
patronesses replying. The committee
hopes to finish this work at the next meet
ing. About three thousand invitations
will then be sent out
The decorating of the spacious building
is big job and will take at least a week.
The overhead girders will be covered with
bunting and festoons of streamers will be
hung in every direction. The boxes will
be beautifully draped with handsome
American flags and the balconies are to
receive special attention.
The sale of boxes will not take place
until about week before the ball.
All of the lowe company rooms will be
used for supper. Providing there is not
enough room, the upper rooms will be
pressed into use The officers and pri-
Yates will appear in uniform State Off
GERS of the National Guard will be IN
vited and many will probably attend.

COUNSEL ENGAGED.
Hoboken Common Council
Employs Lawyers to
Defend It's Members.

The indictments found by the Grand
Jury against the Hoboken Common coun-
cilmen were discussed for the first time
in public session yesterday afternoon.
when at the meeting of the board reso-
luton to engage w. D. Edwards, Flavel
gdcGee and Iorace Allen as counsel to de-
fend the members was introduced. Coun-
cilmen Oscar Frommel and George Steils
opposed the resolution. Neither of these
officials it will be remembered was IN
dicted Frommel was member Of the
Grand Inquest and Steils was not indicted
because he satisfied the jury that he did
not vote for the ordinances and other
council measures which brought about the
indictments of the other members of the
board.
.sWhile my sympathy is with my col
leagues in their trouble, think counsel
to defend them cannot legally be en-
gagged. said Councilman Steils, exp aiming
his reason for opposing the resolution.
mo appropriation for this purpose has
been made and the city has a Corporation
Attorney who is competent to defend the
board
Councilman -Frommel entertained the
same views. Public money cannot legally
be spent without an appropriation. am
willing to go before the Tax Board and
urge an appropriation for hiring counsel
though he declared.
Nobody dreamed of these indictments
or thought Of an appropriation here put
in Councilman James Fitzpatrick. II
would be ridiculous to have anticipated
anything We are not now looking Tor
sympathy We did our duty as public
officials always should, and are willing 70
abide by the results. The indictments
found against us are an Insult to the city
and this board. It is only proper that we
should now defend ourselves. The pubic
demands it,
Councilman Richard Greten expressed
the same sentiment. we should defend
the city against the stigma that has been
placed upon it, said he. Property hold
ers will suffer even if we are acquitted
IT is. high time, say, that we prove to
| the general public that Hoboken officials
are not rogues.''
| Chairman James Londrigan spoke quite
as emphatically. 1T is the duty Of every
member Of this board to wipe out the
stigma that has been placed upon US ne
said I'VE are here to look after the best
| interests of the city. The public has been
| injured by these indictments and as their
representatives we must give answer to
the rebuke.'
The resolution to engage counsel was
carried by a vote of to O.
| The majority of the board believe that
| the indictments will be quashed. The
Councilmen are not talking much, how
ever.
1--WE have confidence in our lawyers.
That is brief and all that is necessary,

decided that the Harrison estate - not
suitable for new High School for tnls
city and the reasons for this decision were
summed up this morning by one OF the
Commissioners who recently with his coli
leagues thoroughly inspected the ground
..some Of US think that another site Is
preferable because of the environ naents
Of the Harrison estate and the price. We
think that much less money could be
spent on site better adapted for
High School than the Harrison estate.
The Board will take action on the matter
on January 3, 1860.
