PASSAGE OF A RESOLUTION PBOVTDLrTO FOB THE ELECTION OF CITY OFFICERS. Adjonraratent Sprang upon Ute lackey Faction. Ia pursuance of a o ail thxoagh the papen yesterday from tbe Mayor for a meeting of t Council, several members assembled in the Council chamber at eight o'clock. sara JOS HtNO. I It seemed to be the object of euch faction to prevent a meeting, yet to be on band if there ; was one. In pursuance of tbis policy, each faction watched the other closely. If the Pi 11s buryites were the stronger, the Mackeyites re ( tired. They would be reinforced by a member or two and then came in, whereupon the Pills? bury i tes retired. Tiny in turu would be rein? forced and would return. This was kopt np ' until fivo minutes of nino o'clock-tho Pills I bury i tc a having nine, and the Mackeyites Bevon present. The Mayor then came in and took his seat, but not more than one or two of the opposition were to be seen. Mr. Charles Voigt was present, appearing as if anxious to qualify. The Pillsburyites appeared uneasy, although conscious ot a victory over the rival faction. A QUORUM. At one minute of nine o'clock Alderman Greene arose and s nd: Mr. Mayor, I am grati? fied to see that Mr. Voigt is present, and I ask that he be allowed to take the oath, sud be admitted. The Mayor. Is Mr. Voigt present ? Mr. Voigt stepped forward and was duly sworn, after which be was assigned a seat by Holloway, colored, who, as the newly qualified AFdeimnn took his seat, gave him a most cordial shake of the band. The clerk cal ed tbe roll, and the following answered: Aldermen Geddings, Potter, Cun? ningham, Voigt, Green, Holloway, colored, ; Small, oolored, Brown, colored, Howard, colored, McKinlay, oolored. The Mayor. As a quorum is now presen!, the Council will come to order. : The Mayor. The meeting is called for a special 'object, and the Council will proceed to business. At this point Aldermen T. J. and E. W. M. Mao key and Barrow came io and took their seats. : McKinlay, oolored. I have a resolution to ' offer, but before doing so, I would hke for some one to State tbs object of tbe moe ting. ; Thorne, L. P. Wall, E. P. Wall and Hampton, colored, came in aud o ccupiod their respective acata, making seventeen members present, Collins being the only one absent. . I t Tba-Mayor. The special object of the meet? ing is to give notice of the time for the election of city officers. . Alderman Geddings. I would be pleased if Alderman McKinlay (who had just started to ?speak) would tot rna have the floor. ; 1 McKinlay Bit down, and Alderman Geddings . proceeded to say, in a great many words, that he bad etea tbe call for a meeting, sud since his arrival "had leaned that it waa ' for a special purpose, and therefore thought it inoumbent apon the Mayor to state its object, and what? ever the business w?s he wanted it attended to at once and be done with it, no that ali could go home. . The Mayer. You express ray views exaotly. The object of the-m jeting is to give notice of ?tba. time for holding an election for city officers. : MoKinlay, colored. There has been an or? dinance passed declaring all offices vacant, and w it h the view of filling them I have prepared a resolution, which I now propose to offer, but as my eyesight is bad, I hope I'll be excused from reading it. The resolution, as follows, was then handed to the clerk, who read it ; Sesolned, That a special meeting of tba City Council be held Qa Tuesday evening, tbe 6th of of Jul v. at 8 o'c ock, for the purpose of elect? ing Officers for the various offices vacated by an ordinance ratified on tbe 20th of May last, and that his Honor the Mayor ia hereby re? quested to give ten days' previous notice in tbe city newspapers, as is required by an ordi? nance. Howard, colored, rising. I second it. Alderman Geddings. I hope before the reso? lution is put the ordinance nf erring to the subject will be read. The urdinar.ee was read by the clerk. Alderman Geddings (s obst in Hally.) May I now ask if it is proposed to go into an elec? tion on that ordinance ? Section 3 of this or dinanee provides that five days'notice most be given. As, the provisions of tbe ordinance wen not carried ont by Conned this section is a dead latter, of ao use at all, and that as the third section rs an integral part of the ordinance, and it has failed, the whole ordinance has failed. The Mayor. The question is now before you for your expression of opmion upon it. Alderman T. J. Mackey (substantially.) I differ with Alderman Geddings, and I regret that he did not present bis reasons for bis con? clusions, in order that I, in addition lo my own, may prove by his that he is not warrant? ed in the assertion that this ordinance is dead. The ordinance of May 10th provides that all offices be vacated, and we have, thenfon, the right to fill them at pleasure. This ordinance repeals that of October 8,1805, under which elections to till offices wen beld; in this that the ordinaice of 1805. provided that no elec? tion s non ld be held by Council without ten dava' notice, and the present ordinance pro? vides that only five days' notice shill be given. Tbs argument of Alderman Ged? dings, th*t we aro now without any ordinance because, as he asserts, one of the sections failed and is of no effect, therefore the whole ordinance is of no effect and Council has a tight to make another ordinance, is a novel doctrine in law, prac tace and sound reason. The present ordinance is antagonistic to that Of 1805 and repeals it, and gives os the right to ge into an election on motion, or to fix the time as we choose. These an my views upon tb? matter, and I think them ten .ble. McKinlay, colored. When I offered Ibat re? solution, Mr. Mayor, I dono so nuder tbo full conviction that all of the various offices were vacant, mado so by this ordnance (at (ho same time looking .di over tho sheet of paper, al? most as large as the main sheet of a man-of war.) It is trae, as Aldeimau Ueddings says, that a section of this ord ?nan e provides that within five days after the offices become vacant an election must take place. The preceding: section vacates the offices. They are diametri oaiiy opposed to each other-an attempt to do t wo things diametrically opposite to each other. I can't aaa that abe section providing that an election te heal within five days invalidates tb? whoas cadmance. - j The speaker,after getting himself twisted np ha the ordinances of 1805 and 1869, sat down With the remark, " I press its action (the res? olution) therefore. Alderman Geddings, (substantially.) I be Beve we have three City Attorneys, andi think it would be better to. defer action npon thia resolution until they can b* consulted in the matter. I am informed by A prominent sawyer, that this ordinance ia noll and void, and I hope that no action will be takes tc* aifh*. We bara already made sjosae Blighty blundering steps, am terry to say it, but it is so, (lae* clause made in answer to deprecatory toeks or members artaud the board) and we would be m a bad stritt if we took final action to- night, ?ad found at the next meeting that it waa aJT wrong. The Mayor. I have held oommiaioa?oo with tbe City Attorney, and have to inform Cdunoll that I hare proceeded thus far in accordance with instructions. Alderman T. J. Mackey. There is a motion before Uounc? whioh has ba?a seconded. The Mayor. There is a resolution. McKinlay, oolored. I hope, as there is no further debate, that my resolution will be put. Alderman Geddings. I think it botter to de? lay action until we get a written opinion from counsel upon the question at issue. We are not without city .u?oers. The city is moving alon pr very nioely. Tu oro is no presBUieupon us, and we bad better delay action awhile. Alderman E. W. M. Mackey. I do not think that it is the dnty of the Council to be asking legal advice, or for opinions. 1 am satiated of the legality of the matter, and am ready to vote now, and I move the previous question. The motion for tbe previous question was then put and adopted. The Mayor. The resolution will be put now. Alderman T. J, Mackey. I call for the yeas and nays; call seconded by Aldermen Barrow and E. W. M. Mackey. E. P. Wall, colored. Please read the resolu? tion. The clerk read it. The roll was called. Teas-Hampton, Pot? ter, Cunningham, Small, colored, Brown, col? ored, E. P. and L. F. Wall, colored, Barrow, T. J. and E. W. M. Mackey, McKinlay, colored, Howard, colored. Greene, Thorne, oolored, and the Mayor. Nays-Geddings, Holloway, col? ored, and Voigt. Alderman Cunningham. I move that we ad? journ. This motion was seconded by about ten mem? bers, anl was carried before the Wacke ut es recovered from their surprise, their counte? nances clearly showing that they were not then prepared for such action. THE Onces, with its wonderful and varied attractions, will make its grand entry and pro? cession through our principal streets this forenoon, and will exhibit on Citadel Green to? day and to-morrow afternoon and evening.

THE MILLS HOUSE.-Wo are informed that Mr. G. W. Parker, a Northwestern capitalist, has appointed .u r. T. J. Maokey bis attorney, and empowered bim to treat for a lease of tbe Milla Hodse, which he proposos to open on the Urst of November, in a style of eleganoe never excelled, if ever equalled in our city. The house is to undergo many important changes so as to adapt it to the most modern require? ments. Elevators are to be constructed for the more oon/enient access to the various upper stories of the building. Tbe barber shop is to be a branch of the celebrated Phi lon's of New York, while the appointments of the bar will be in keeping with the general style of the house. It is to be boped that the negotiations j pending may result in a lease. Tis STATS CO?BT-How. B. B.

Corn, of whioh there is less planted than last year, looks welt. Cotton stand bad m gray lands, from this latitude up; fair lo red uanda, from thu south; fair but late. Some cotton is dying ont yet. The back? ward spring and defective stands will shorten the crop; but the heavy use of fertilizers, with fair seasons and a late fall, will probably bring the crop np to last year's. With cotton at twenty cents you can never convince planters within Ave miles of a rail? road depot that they can raise all the corn they need cheaper than they can buy.

They are gratified to say that the improvements to the ooartboase, re? cently made, and in progress, tre euoii a? will materially conduce to tue comfort ot the offi? cers of the oourt and all others tn attendance. The convenient and comfortable arrangement of the courtroom reflects credit on those hav? ing the matter in charge. PAP?BS OF THE COURT. The jury would recommend that the office of the Clerk of the Court be furnished with book cases for the preservation and arrangement of the ina portant papers belonging to his office, and that a suitable desk be provided ia place of the dilapidated one now in ase, and that his room be painted and placed in a condition cor? responding with other portions ot the b ai lding. EQCmr COURT PAPERS. They recommend that the very valuable and important records, decrees Ac, of the Court of Equity, extending over a period of several years and now lying loose in the clerke office, be recorded ia substantially bouud books, and that all otner record books in that office re? quiring it, be bound in a uniform manner. THE JAIL. The Grand Jory visited the Jail, and found that budding io a cleanly and satis? factory condition; the food of tue prisoners was examined, and found of good quality and m 8011.0 variety, and toe rations ample. They recommend that the cells in the tower be I med with boards to prevent dampness, and, as a sanitary measure, that the lower rooms be whitewashed at least eooe a month during the summer, and the upper rooms as often as may be accessary for cleanliness and the health of the inmates. They abo recommend that the Sheriff be authorized to furnish the rooms with bunks for the accommodation of the prisoners.
