Although satisfied in bis o vn mind as to thereault of a non-election, still be thought it became thom, as a deliberative body, to refer tho matter to their regular legal ad? viser, tho City Attorney, and obta.n his opinion as to w.:cthei, under this condition of things, this body holds over or not. Ho could not say what thu iuteiitiou of tho military authorities was. Wo oould all draw our own inferences, and mako our own surmises; but ho deemed the proper course was to refer the nutter to the City Attorney, snd et bis opinion as to tho validity of any acts done y their body in holding over, in default of an election.
