Bow Cf THE FIREPROOF BCELDINQ-COUKTY COMMISSIONERS-KNOCK DOWNS ABD PISTOL DISPLAY. - Yesterday afternoon that portion ot the Fireproof Building which is devoted to the purposes of the County Commissioners, was the aoeae of belligerency, one or two knock downs and a.great deal of pistol dis? play, but very little damage was done. As -we learn, Mark Reynolds, the foreman of rile work done by order of the County Com? missioners, applied to P. C. Miller, late Presi? dent of the Board and defeated candidate for /City Inspector, for his pay. Words ensued ami Miller drew his pistol, whereupon Reynolds knocked him down. On getting ap Alderman E. P. Wall, colored, President of the board, took the pistol away. High words then o: cur? red between Reynolds and Wall, and Wall dis? played the pistol and threatened to perforate the epidermis of Reynolds with "a little ballet made of lead I lead I lead!'' McLtughliu, a member of (be board, interfered and took the pistol from Wall, and the affair ended. No .> arrests were made. If reports be true, more than one knock down occurred.

PKELQCLN ARIES. The excitement engendered by the election on Tuesday night last has steadily increased as waa erin oed by the large attendance dorine; Connci! proceedings last night, and the fever? ish B ate of all present (except the members of J the press andi. J. Mackey, the latter one of j whom, by tbe way, never gets excited, unless nominated for office, ) were in. The Police Department bas been the bone of I contention among the Pillsburyitea ever since | the last meeting of Council, and numerous are the caucuses that have been held, and ss gu- j manta and entreaties and promises mad'- to settle the vexed question, whether C. B. Sig wald, H. VT. Hendricks, R. H. Willoughby, or W. N. Taft should be Chief, and whether or not it would be to the interests of the Republican party (i* ?.> the Pillsbury faction, consisting mainly of Mayor Pillsbury and his stepson, Captain Jenks, of tbe City Inspectorship office) to hare a colored man aa an officer of the force. A caucus was held Fri? day night. As all of the offices had boen prom? ised or bestowed, something was required to satiate the hungry stomachs of the members of the faction, whose desire for office had creat? ed a morbid appetite, which was always crying, not so much like Oliver Twist, as like another personage with whom T. J. Mackey has made the pabhc acquainted, "More, more 1 more P' it was found necessary in lien thereof to lavish? ly dispense champagne, cheese and crackers and sandwiches. During this meeting Alder? man Barrow proved a very apple of di sc or d, and it ia reported that the members refused to pro? ceed with business in his presence, and the canons broke ap in c on fusion. Yesterday morn? ing the caucus again assembled and Alderman Barrow was agata present and vexations, bat was quieted, and by four o'clock a foll ticket had been resolved upon and was seat down to be printed. It was decided to support Hen? dricks for obief. T. B. Chapman for first and B. Holloway, colored, for second lieutenant the latter being done to retain the influence of J Alderman Holloway, colored, who it ia assert ed wanted to bolt and start a oaacus of | his own. The names on the ticket were printed in two rows on one side of a sheet of paper. When the ticke t was brought to this Mayor's office, before the Connell was called to order, the sheet was torn dows the middle, making two atrip*. The upper portion of the first strip, containing the names of the officers to be sup? ported to fill the posts ia the Police Depart? ment waa torn off, and the remainder sent into the Council chamber and laid upon" the desks of the "faithful"-among whom ia Alderman Smalt, who vows he'll never vote wrong so long as hu friend Collins will mt by and tell him how to exercise Ute right of suffrage, and pre? vent his getting confused. v CALLED TO ORDBH. Matters Inside of the Council Chamber, while waiting for the Mayor to come m and call the un terrified to order, were not altogether de? void of interest. There was much talkie g about the candidates, betting upon the success of this or that officer for ohief of police, a great deaf of walking to and fro, sly sh - wing of tick? ets, and a great deal of writing of resolutions, which did not see light. Tbs leader of the Maokeyitea pondered, evidently deciding whe? ther to waato his sweetness on the desert air by voting for his old friend, or to bolt the or? thodox ticket; but the muBinga of himself and th? conversation and noise of others were in? terrupted by the entrance of the Mayor, at nine o'clock, and the "faithful," who before were afraid to open the game, now, with de? termined look, seemed to say we are ready to make a abort and decisive campaign, and to march our caucus ticket through the hostile ranks and bear dows all opposition. When Council was called to order at 9 o'clock, the following were present: The Major; Alder? men Geddings, Potter, Cunningham, Voigt, Collins.Qreene, T. J. Mackey, ?. W. M. Mackey and Barrow, white; aui Hampton, Thorne, E. P. Wall, L. P. Wall, M. Brown, McKinlay, Small and Holloway, colored. FORCIBLE EJECTION OF OFFICERS. Alderman T. J. Mickey offered the following resolutions, saying that he presumed that they would not excite any discussion : Resolved, That the Mayor be and is hereby authorized and required to summarily eject from office aoy officer of the city who shall re? fuse to surrender his office on the demand of his duly elected and qualified successor. hesolved, That the Mayor is hereby empow? ered to use the police force of the city, ahould the aime be necessary, to eject aoy such officer. Alderman Voigt seconded the resolutions. Alderman Geddings mored to lay the reso? lutions on the table, which was seconded by E. P. WaR. The yeas and nays were ordered on the mo? tion of Alderman Geddings, and the roll being called the vote was: Ayes-Geddings, Potter, Howard, Thorne, L. F. Wall-5. Noes-Cunningham. Barrow, Hollo way, Voigt, Hampton, Small, B.owu, E. P. Wall, T. J. Mackey, E. W. M. Mackey, McKinlay, Greene. Collins, tbe Mayor-14. E. P. Wall, in exDlana:iou of his vote, said that the resolution had a violent character, and would be likely, to cruse a revolution in tho community. The Republicans were law-abid? ing people, and the Mayor outr ht not to have power to call in his policemen and eject offi? cers, whether they were legally in office or not. He had seen enough ta this chamber of the calling in of police, an 1 here right on the root of this it was proposed to adopt these resolu? tions. Like the chieftain of the party, he said "Let us have Peace." Wall spoke ta this strain for abou five minutes, say ins, "We have been in office a month and have not had a good meeting yet.'' Alderman T. J. Mackey (aside.) The last was a good meeting. E. P. Wall. Perhaps so ; if you add some? thing to it, and that is, "for nothing." In con? clusion, Wall said th it the power proposed to be given to the Mayor would amount io noth? ing. Council having refused to lay the resolutions on the table. Alderman T. J. Mackey moved their adoption. Alderman Geddings boped they would not be adopted. Alderman T. I. Mackey defended and ex? plained tbe resolutions, arguing that they were absolutely necessary for the protection of I the newly elected officers, and that the Council had fnll power under the law to eject any in? cumbent in whose place another officer had been elected. The displaced officer conld ap? peal to the courts, and there Council conld meet him. The resolutions were then adopted. The Mayor then presented the names of P. J. Coolan, Esq., and Geo. I. Cunningham, Esq., as the sureties of D. T. Corbin, Esq., the City Attorney elect. The Mayor said it was necessary to bare Mr. Corbin qualified at once, aa bis assistance and legal advice might be re? quired immediately. On motion of Alderman Voigt, the sureties of Mr. Corbin were accepted, and the City Attor? ney elect was duly sworn in. The Mayor said that this meeting was held to continue the election of city officers. POLICE DEPARTMENT. E. P. Wall said he had heard that the caucus of Council had Dot been able to agree upon candidates for officers of police. In order to give them time, he would move that the elec? tion of police officers be postponed for the present. Alderman T. J. Mackey. The resolution ia not seconded. E. P. Wall (fiercely.) How do you know that? Small. I-the motion. [What Small said was not very clear, but he explained after? wards that he "objected to the motion," which fell to the ground.] The Mayor said that he believed that under Ihe ordinance it was his duty to make nomina? tions, and for Council to confirm them. E. P. Wall. Council must "elect," not "con? firm." Alderman Voigt. Alderman Wall is in er? ror. There was some disco Hon as to the word? ing of the ordinance, which the Clerk was re? quested to read. When it was found that the ordinance read that the officers should be nomi? nated by the Mayor and " elected " by Council, E. P. Wall cried out triumphantly, with a emile, (to Alderman Voigt,) "How do you like that?" Alderman Geddings made some explanatory remarks. These were replied to by E. P. Wall, who stack to the point that it was intended that Council should "elect" the officers nomi? nated by the Mayor. There was, he said, a personal reason for it. Mayor Clark wanted to have the word "confirm" retained in the placa of "ele ;t," and said to him (Wall) that he (Clark) wanted it to stand, in order that he might remove a certain officer who waa dis? tasteful to him. Alderman Geddings explained some more, and Alderman Voigt asked whether the Alder? man bad understood it to be "elect" or "con? firm." Alderman T. J. Mackey. I have no donbt that the Aldermen are confirmed in their opinions, and I now move that we proceed to elect. CAPTAIN OT POLICE. The Mayor, after some prefatory remarks, delivered with great hesitation, said that he was pleased to be a ole to place before the Council the names of persons from whom they might elect a Captain of Police. He would nominate C. B. Sigwald, H. W. Hendricks and B. H. Willoughby. The ballot was taken, and resulted as fol? lows: H. W. Hendricks, 12; B. H. Willoughby, 5; C. B. Sigwald, 2. As the tenth vote for Hendricks was an-, nounced, there were cries ot Babyl Bally 1 When the Mayor announced his election there waa mint applause. TOST LIEUTENANT OP POLICE. The Mayor nominated Albert E. Phflippy, T. B. Chapman (the present incumbent.) E. P. Wall asked the Mayor to nominate W. N. Taft as Lieutenant of Police. It was then suggested that both lieutenants be elected at once. Thia caused some confu? sion in the mind of E. P. Wall, who said to Roberts, who offered him the bat for his bal? lot: "Just get oat of the way unto I know what I am about." The ballot being taken, resulted as follows: T. B. Chapman, 17; A. E. Phflippy, 1. The Mayor announced that Mr. Chapman was duly elected. SECOND LIEUTENANT OT POLICE. For this omeo the Mayor nominated A. E. Phihppy, W. N. Taft and Benjamin Holloway, volored. [Ibis Holloway is the brother of the crazy portwarden Holloway, and a son of "Al? derman" Holloway.] The balloting resulted: Philippy, 1; Hollo? way, 6; Tatt, 12. The announcement of this vote, and the elec? tion of Mr. Taft, was received with cheering and applause. At thia point the greater num? ber of the spectators loft the chamber. For them the lively interest of the evening waa over. * A motion to adjourn, made by Alderman E. W. M. Maokey, was voted down, and Connel} prooeeded to elect the COMMISSIONERS OF THE ORPHAN HOUSE, With the following result: Wm. C. Bee, 16; Al? derman J. D. Geddings, 16; Geo. W. Williams, 16; Alva Gage, 13; Alderman L. T. Potter, 18; Stanley G. Trott, 17; Andrew Simonds, 19; Al derman James F. Greene, 19; fleury Cobia, 19; H. B. Olney, 15; Edwin Bates, 14; A. G. Mackey, 13; W. G. Whiddon, 8. The twelve first named were declared daly elected. It will be seen that the Hoard i? substantially the same as that elected by the late Clark administra? tion. When the announcement was made to ballot for Commissioners of the Orphan House, a misunderstanding occarred, some of the Al? dermen thinking that Commissioners of the Markets were meant, and a general squabble ensued, each Alderman yelling ont what he thought of it, and "Markets" and "Orphan House" were cried back and forth in a disor? derly manner. Alderman Greene shouted "Orphan House" until he grew hoarse, and it sunk from the clear sounding "Orphan House," into "Orflin g House," "Fin ouse," "U-ouae," "O-u-s-o^' These guttural eouuds, and the general confusion, in the tem? porary ab enco of Alderman Collins, threw Al? derman Smalls, colored, Generally well ordered mind out of gear, and himself into a labyrinth of troubles. With amazement dire ho turned to Alderman Collins, who. on Hoeing the fix his ward waa iu, was puzzlod what to do-whether to poiut out the name of the min to bo voled for, or io slap bim on the back and prevent an anticipated fit. The Mayor's rap to order quelled the disorder; Small gradually recov? ered, hu tioket was fixed, and he balloted like an Ameiican citizen. COMMISSIONER3 OF MARKETS. Council pr.c eded to elect twelve Commis? sion eis of the Markets. The vote was as fol? lows: John H. Stammerer,* 10; James Dun? ning* ll; Alva Gage,* ll; E. H. Jackson? ll; Alderman Chas.

Those marked* were declared elect? ed-six white men and six colored mon. lt was then remembered that thirteen com? missioners should have been elected, and au election for one more commissioner was or? dered. Alderman Cunningham nominated Slr. Baker; Alderman Geddings Mr. George H. pock; Alderman Green Mr. Juline Bonn Alderman E. W. M. Mackey Thomas Ma colored; and E. P. Wall nominated Aide Collins. The rote was as follows: H. F. Baker, 2; H. Hoppock, 1; J. Roumillat, 7; Thomas A colored, 5; Alderman Collins, 0; D. T. Co 1; J. G. Mackey, 2. No election, and anew ballot was orderet suiting as follows: Thomas Aiken, 9; J. miihu, 8; D. T. Corbin, 1; J. G. Mackey, 1. No election. Alderman Collins said that before pro< ing he would like to state that there was rnption among those who promised to vot< caucus ticket arranged to-day. I promisi vote a certain way. and I don't care boi puleive a man may be, I have yet to < name off ol my tioket. The third balloting resulted as foll Thomas Aiken, ll; J. Boumilatt, 6; M Collins, 1. Aiken was declared elected. FIRE DEPAUT1TEKT. Alderman Cunningham moved to adjt until Tuesday night. The Mayor said that he would state there were several of the officers ready to qt fy, and he would like for them to do so be adjournment. Alderman Cunningham consented to w draw his motion to let the officers qualify. Alderman Voight offered the following n Iution: Resolved, Tbat the Board of Fire Master: requested, through nia Honor the Mayoi elect their officers and Clerk, and report result to Council for approval. Alderman Collins moved to atop medd with the Fire Department until the Ku K Elan was thoroughly organized. Alderman E. P. Wall, colored, moved to j on rn. [Numerously seconded].
