Ia pursuance, of a call through the papers yesterday from the Mayor for a meetiug of Council, several monbors assembled in tho Council chamber at eight o'clook. ? SKIRMISHING. It soomod to bo the object of each faction to prevent a meeting, yet to be on hand if there was ono. In pursuance of this policy, each faction watched the other closely. If tho Pills bur.vitos were tho stronger, tho Maokeyites re tired. Thoy would bo rtinforood by a member or two and thou came in, whereupon tho Pills buryitos retired. Tiny in tum would be rein forced and would return. This was,kept up until five minutes of uino o'clock?tho Pills bury ites having mno. and the MackeyitoB seven present. The Mayor then camo in and took hie soat, but not more than ono or two of the opposition wore to be seen. Mr. Charles Voigt was prosout, appearing as if anxious to qualify. The fillsburyitos appeared uneasy, although conscious et a victory over tho rival faction. A QUOSUM. At ono minute of nine o'clock Alderman Greeno arose and said: Mr. Mayor, I am grati-. fiod to boo tbat Mr. Voigt is present, and I aak that ho be allowed to tako the oath, and be admitted. Tho Mayor. Is Mr. Voigt prosout ? Mr. Voigt stepped forward and waa duly sworn, after which lie was assigned a soat by Holloway, colored, who, as the newly qualified Aldoiniau took his soat, gave him a most cordial shako of the hand. The clork cal eel the roll, and the following answered: Aldermen Geddings, Potter, Cun ningham, Voigt, GreoD, Holloway, colorod, Small, colored, Brown, colored, Howard, colored, McEinlay, colorod. The Mayor. As a quorum is now present, the Council will come to order. Tho Mayor. The meeting is called for a special object, and the Counoil will proceed to business. At this point Aldermen T. J. and E. W. M. Maokey and Barrow came in and took their seats. MoEiniay, colored. I have a resolution to offer, but before doing ao, I would like for somo ono to state the object of the meetiug. Thorne, L. P. Wall, E. P. Wall and Hampton, colored, came in and occupied then.' respective seats, making seventeen members present, Gollma being the only ono absent. The 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 McEinlay (who bad just started to speak) would let me have the floor. McEinlay Bat down, and Alderman Geddings proceeded to say, in a great many words, that ho had seen tho call for a meeting, and since his arrival had learned that it was for a speoUl purpose, and therefore thought it inoumbent upon the Mayor to state its object, and what ever the businosB w?a he wanted it attended to at onoe and he done with it, so that all could go home. The Mayor. You express my views exactly. The object of the mooting is to give notice of the time for holding an election for city offioers. McEinlay, colored. There has been an or dinance passed declaring all offices vacant, and with 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 bo exoused from reading it. - Tho-resolution, ua folloTva, was then httflM to the clork, who read it : lie-solved, That a special meeting of the City Council be held on Tuesday evening, the 6th of of July, at 8 o'clook, for the purpose of elect ing officers for the various omoes vacated by an ordinance ratified on the 20th of May last, and that his Honor the Mayor is hereby re quested to give ten days' previous notice in tbe oity 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 referring to the subject will be read. The ordinance was read by tho clerk. Alderman Geddings (substantially.) May I now ask if it is proposed to go into an elec tion on that ordinance ? Section 3 of this or dinance provides that live days' notice must be given. Ab the provisions of tho ordinance were not carried out by Council this section is a dead letter, of no use at all, and that as the third section is an integral part of the ordinance, and it has failed, the whole ordinan.e has failed. Tho Mayor. Tho question is now before you for your expression of opinion upon it. Alderman T. J. Mackey (substantially.) I differ with Alderman Geddings, aud I regret that he did not present his reasons for his con clusions, in order that I, in a idition to my owu, may prove by his that ho is not warrant ed in the assertion* that this ordinance is dead. The ordinance of May 10th provides that all officos be vacated, and we have, therefore, the right to fill them at pleasure. This ordinance repeals that of October 8, 1805, under which elections to till offices wore hold; in this that tho ordinance of 1805 provided that no elec tion should' bo held by Counoil without ten days' notice, and the present ordinance pro vides that only five days' notice shall be given. The argument of Alderman Ged dings, that we are 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 right to make another ordinance, is a novel doctrine in law, praotice and sound reason. The present ordinance is antagonistic to that of 1805 and repeals it, and gives us the right to go into an election on motion, or to fix tbe time as wo choose. These are my views upon tbe matter, and I think them ten *bte. McEinlay, colored. When I offered tbat ro so'ation, Mr. Mayor, I dono so undor the full oonviotion that all of the various offlcps were vacant, roado so by this ordinance (at the same time looking all over the shoet of paper, al most as large as tho main shoot of a man-of war.) It is true, as Aldciman Geddings says, that a section of this ordinance provides that within five days after the offices become vacuit an election must take place. The preceding section vacates the offioes. Thty are diametri cally opposed to eaoh other?an attempt to do two things diametrically opposite to each other. I can't see that tbe section providing that an election be held within five days invalidates the whole ordinance. The speeker,after getting himself twisted dp in the ordinaneae of 1805 and I860, sat down with the remark, " I press its action (the roa olotion) therefore. Alderman Geddings, (substantially.) I be lieve we have three City Attorney ?, m& 1 think it would be better to defer notion cpon this resolution until ihey can be consulted In the matter. I am informed by a prominent lawyer, that this ordinance is null and void, and I hope that no action will be taken to night. We have already mads some, mighty blundering steps, am sorry to say tt, but iv it so, (last clause ?ade hi answer to deprecatory looks of members around the board)-and we would be in a bad strtit if we took final action : to-night, and found at the next meeting that it was all wrong; ^ v The Mayor, ? have held oommmateatkm with the City Attorney, and here to inform council I] 't proceeded thus fer in accordance with instructions. . Mdorman T. J. Mackey. There is a motion tore Council which has boon seconded. Mayor. There is a resolution. McKinlar, colored. I hope, as there is no further debate, that my resolution will bo put. Alderman GcddingB. I think it better to de lay action uutil wo got a written opinion from counsel upon tho question at issue. We are not without city officers. The city is moving along very nicely. There is no pressuve upon Us, and we had better delay aotion awhile. Alderman E. W. M. Mackoy. I do not think tnat it is tho duty of tho Council to be asking legal advico, or for opinions. 1 am satisfied of the legality of tho matter, and am ready to voto now, and I move tho previous quostion. The motion for the previous quostion was then put and adopted. Tho Mayor. The resolution will bo put now. Alderman T. J. Mackoy. I call for the yeas and nays; call seconded by Aldermen Barrow and B. W. M. Mackoy. E. P. Wall, colored. Pleaso read the resolu tion. Tho clerk read it. The roll was called. Yeas?Hampton, Pot ter, Cunningham, Small, colored, Brown, col ored, E. T. and L. F.

This motion was seconded by about ten mem bers, and "was carried boforo tho Mackovitos recovered from their surprise, their counte nances clearly showing that they wore not thon prepared for such action.

The Mills House.?We are informed that Mr. G. W. Parker, a Northwestern capitalist, has appointed al r. T. J. Mackey his attorney, and empowered him to treat for a lease of the Mills House, which he proposes to open on the first of November, in a stylo of elegance never excelled,. if ever equalled in onr city. The house- is to undergo many important ohanges so as to adapt it to the most modern require ments. Elevators are to be constructed for the more convenient access to tho various upper stories of the building. The barber shop is to be a branch of tho celebrated Phalon'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 hoped that tho negotiations pending may result in a lease. Tna State Court?Hon? B. 11.

Corn, of which there is less planted than last year, looks well. Cotton stand bad in gray Lands, from this latitude up: fair in red lands, from this south; fair but late. Some cotton is dying out yet. The back ward spring and defective stands will shorten the orop; but the heavy use of fertilizers, with fair seasons and a late fall, will probably bring the orop up to last year's. With cotton at twenty cents you oan never convince planters within live miles of a rail - road depot that they oan raise all the corn they need cheaper than they can buy.

Elizabeth Streets, 22d Junk. ) TO THE EDITOR OF TUE NEWS. Gentlemen--By this morning's p iper I see it stated, in the report of the attempt of burning a dwelling in Ann-street, that- "The shop next door to Mr. Prince's residence, kept by Mr. H. Wohlkin, has, within the last year, been set on fire three timos." I would beg respectfully to correct the statement. It was not my shop, but tho premises next door south, a distanco of at least sixty feet from my store, and at no time was my store or premises ever attempted to be set fire to. Very respectfully, H. Wohlkin. ? 4 ,1 mm >? ? It US IN JE S S NOTICMS. Bargains in Olothtng are advertised this morning by Mr. N. A. Cohen, corner of King and Princess streets. Give his establishment a call.
