PRELIMINARIES. Thc excitement engendered by tho election on Tuesday night last has steadily increased as was evinced by the largo ati?ndanos during Council pioceedings last night, and the fever? ish s ate of all present (except tho members of theproBS and T. J. Mackey, the latter ono of whom, by the way, never gets excited, unless nominated for office, ) were tn. The Police Department has boen thtrbone of contention among the Pillsburyitos over since the last meeting of Council, and numerous aro tho caucuses that have been held, and argu? ments and entreaties aud promise? made to settle tlio vexed question, whether C. B. Sig wald, H. W. Hendricks, B. H. Willoughby, or W. N. Taft should bo Chief, and whether or not it would be to the interests of the Republican party (i. e., the Pillsbury faction, consisting mainly of Mayor Pillsbury and his stepson, Oiptain Jenks, bf the City Inspectorship office) to have a oolored man as an officer of the foroe. ? caucus was held Fri? day night. As all of the offices bad been protnS ised or bsstowed, something was required to satiate the hungry stomachs of the members of the faction, whose desire for office had creat? ed a morbid appetite, whioh was always crying, not, se much like Oliver Twist, as like another personage with whom T. J. Mackey has made tho public acquainted, "More, morel morel" it WM found necessary in lieu thereof to lavish? ly dispense champagne, cheese and o rao k ors and sandwiches. During this, meeting Alder? man Barrow proved a very apple of discord, and it is reported that the members refused to pro? ceed with business in his presence, and the caucus broke up in confusion. Yesterday morn? ing the caucus again assembled and Alderman Barr JW was again present and vexatious, but was quieted, and by four o'clock a full ticket had been resolved upon and was soot down to be printed. It was decided to support Hen? dricks for chief. T.B. Chapman for first and B. Holloway, colored, for second lieutenant the latter being done to retain the influence of Alderman Holloway, colored, ?ho it is assort? ed wanted to bolt and start a caucus of his own. The names on the tioket were printed in two rows on one side of a sheet of paper. When the tioket was brought to the Mayor's office, before the Council was oalled to order, the sheet was torn down the middle, making two strips. The upper portion of the first strip, containing the names of the officers to be sup? ported to fill the posts in the Police Depart? ment was torn off, and the remainder sent into the Council chamber and laid upon the doaks of tho "faithful"-among whom is Alderman Small, who vows he'll never vote wrong solong as his friend Collins will sit by and tell him bow to exeroise the right of suffrage, and pre? vent his getting contused. GALLED TO onnau. Matters inside of the Council Chamber, while waiting for the Mayor to come in and call thc untemfied to order, were not altogether de? void of interest. There was muoh talking about the candidates, betting upon the success of this or that officer for ohief of police, a greal deal of walking to and fro, sly sh J wing of tick? ets, and a great deal of writing of resolutions which did not see light. The leader of th* Maokeyites pondered, evidently deciding who thor to waste his sweetness on the desert ail by voting for his old friend, or to bolt the or? thodox ticket; but the musings of himself anc the conversation and noise of others were in? terrupted by the entrance of the Mayor, a nine o'clock, and the "faithful," who before were afraid to open the game, now, with de term i ned look, seemed to say we are ready t< make a short and decisive campaign, and t< march our caucus ticket through the hostil* ranks and bear down ali opposition. When Council was called to order at 9o'olock tho following were present: The Mayor; Alder men Geddings, Potter, Cunningham, Voigt Collins.Greene, T. J. Mackey, E. W. M. Macke; and Barrow, white; and Hampton, Thorne, E, P. Wall, L. P. Wall, Mk Brown, McKinlay, Smal and Holloway, oolored. rOBCLBLE EJECTION OF OFFICERS. Alderman T. J. Mickey offered the following resolutions, saying that he presumed lhat the; would not excite any discussion: Resolved, That the Mayor be and is hereby authorized and required to summarily el ec from office any officer of the city who shall re fuse to surrender his office on the demand o bis duly elected and qualified successor. Resolved, That the Mayor is hereby empow ered to use the police foroe of the city, ahouli th? sime be necessary, to eject any suet officer. Alderman Voigt seconded the resolutions. Alderman Geddings moved to lay the reso? lutions on the table, whioh was seconded by E P. Wall. The yeas and nays were ordered on the mo HOD of Alderman Geddings, and the roll beim cal'ed the vote waa: Ayes-Geddings, Potter, Howard, Thorne L. P. Wall-?. Noes-Cunningham, Barrow, Hollo way, Yoi g l Hampton, Small, Biowo, E. P. Wall, T. 3 Maokey, E. W. M. Maokey, McKinlay, Greene Collins, tbe Mayor-14. E. P. Wall, in exDlanation of his vote, sai thal the resolution had a violent character and would be likely tooiuse a revolution in th community. The Republicans were lawabid lng people, and the Mayor ought not to hav power to call in hie policemen and eject oft) eera, whether they were legally in office or not Ho had seen enough in thia oh amber of th calling in of police, an l here right on tba foo of thia it was proposed to adopt these resole tiona. Like the chieftain of the party, he sal "Let na have Peace." Wall spoke in thia strain for about fly. minutes, saying, "We have bean in office month and have not had a good meeting yet. Alderman T. J. Mackay (aside.) Tba lae waa a good meeting. E. P. Wall. Perhaps so ; if yon add some thing to it, and that ia, "for nothing." In con elusion, Wall said that the power proposed t be given to tba Mayor would amount to nota ?ng. Council baying refused to lay the resolution on tho table. Alderman T. J. Mackey move* their adoption. Alderman Geddings hoped they would not b adopted. j Alderman T. J. Mackey defended and es plained the resolutions, arguing that the were absolutely necessary for the protection < tho newly elected officers, and that the Council had full power under tho law to cjeot any in? cumbent in whose place auother officer had been elected. The displaced officer oould ap? peal to the courts, and there Council could meet him. l'he resolutions were then adopted. The Mayor then presented the names of P. J. Coolan, Esq., and Geo. I. Cunningham, Esq., as the suroties of D. T. Corbin, Esq., the City Attorney oleot. The Mayor said it waB necoBsary to have Mr. Corbin qualified at once, as his aBsistanco and legal advioe 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 DEP AKT MENT. E. P. Wall said he had heard that the caucus ot Council had not been able to agree upon candidates for officers of police. In order to give them time, he would move tu?t tue elec? tion of police officers be postponed for the present. Alderman T. J. Mackey. The resolution is not seconded. E. P. Wall (fiercely.) How do you know that ? ? Small. I-tho motion. [What Small said was not very clear, but he explained after? wards that he "objected to tho motion," which fell to the ground.] The Mayor Baid that he belioved that under the ordinance it was his duty lo make nomina? tions, and tor Council to confirm them. E. P. Wall. Council must ' elect," not "con? firm." Aldcrmau Voigt. Alderman Wall is in er? ror. There was some discussion ss 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 El P. Wall, who stuck to tho point that it was intended that Council should "elect" the oflioers nomi? nated by the Mayor. There waa, he ? said, a personal reason for it. Mayor Clark wanted tc have the word "confirm" retained in the place of "ele it," and said to him (Wall) that he (Clari) wanted it to stand, in order that h< might remove a certain officer who was dis tasteful to him. Alderman Geddings explained some more and Alderman Wornt asked whether the Alder man had: understood it to be "elect" Or "con finn." Alderman T. J. Mackey.. I have no doub that the Aldermen are confirmed in thei opinions, and I now move that we proceed tc elect. CAPTAIN O? POLICE. The Mayor,' after some prefatory remarks delivered with great hesitation, said that h was pleased to be aole to place before th Council tbe names of persona from whom the; might elect a Captain of Police. He vtoul nominate C. B. Sigwald, H. W. Hendrick 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 ton th vote for Hendricks was ni nounced, there Were cries ot Bully 1 Bully When the Mayor announced bis election thor was mint applause. FIBST LIEUTENANT OF FOLIOS. Tbe Mayor nominated Albert E. Philipp? T. B. Chapman (the present incumbent. ) E. P. Wail asked the Mayor lo nominate V N. Taft as Lieutenant of Police. It was then suggested that both lieutenani be eleoted at onee. This caused some ce??s sion in the mind of E. P. Wall, who said I Roberta, who offered him the'hat for his ba lot: "Just get out of tho way until I know whi I am about." . :- v The ballot being taken, resulted aus follow T. B. Chapmau, 17; A. E. Phi lippy, 1, Th? Mayor "announced that Mr. Chapmt was duly elected. SECOND LIEUTENANT OF POLICE. For this office the Mayor nominated A. : Philippy, W. N. Taft and Benjamin Hollows colored. [Ibis Holloway is the brother, of tl crazy port warden Holloway, and a son of "2 dorman" Holloway,] The balloting resulted : Philippy, 1; Holl way, 6; Taft, 12. The announcement of this vote, and tho elf tion of Mr. Taft, was received with cheerii and applause. At this point the greater nm ber of the spectators left the chamber. F them the lively interest of the evening w over.' A motion to adjourn, made by Alderman W. M. Mackey, was voted down, and Couti proceeded to elect the COMMM8IONEU3 OF THE ORPHAN HOUSE, With the following result: Wm. C. Bee, 16; ? ierman J. D. Geddings, 16; Geo. W. WiUian 16; Alva Gage, 13; Alderman L. T. Potter, Stanley G. Trott, 17; Andrew Simonds, 19; , dorman James F. Greene, 19; Henry Oobia, : H. B. Olney, 15; Edwin Bates, 14; A. Mackey, 13; W. G. Whilden, 8. The twelve fi named were declared duly elected. It will seen that the Board is substantially the sai asthat elected by the late Clark adm misti tion. When the announcement was made to bal for Commissioners of the Orphan House misnnderstanding occurred, some of the dor mon thinking that Commissioners of I Marketa were meant, and . general squab ensued, eaeh Alderman yelling out what thought of it, and "Markets" and "Orpt House" were cried back and forth m a dla darry manner. Alderman Greene shout ''Orphan House" until he grew hoarse, ant sunk from the dear sounding ' Orpl House," info "Ording House," *.] ouse," "U-onse," "O-n-s-e." These gutta touads, and the general confusion, in the tc porary absence of Alderman Collins, threw dorman Small's, colored, generally well orrie mind out of gear, and himself into a labyrii of troubles. With amazement dire he tun to Alderman Collins, who, on seeing the fix ward was in, was pnzzled what to do-wbetl to point out the name of the man to be vo for, or to slap hun on tbe back and prevent anticipated flt. The Mayor's rap to or queued the disorder; Small gradually rx ered, his tioket was fixed, and he balloted 1 an Amerloan citizen. OOMSCifJB?ONKRS OF MARKETS.
