A communication addressed to the president was
received from Ias. Miller, a member of the Legisla
inre, from the Klghtecnthdlntrlct. In which he. gives
notice that a bill has been Introduced Into the Le
glplature proposing to Increase the term of ofllce of
all tha heads of departments of this city, except
the Water Department, to threo years. And also,
one for the appointment of a commission to pur
chase a site for a house of correction. The writer
desires to know the will of Councils.
Mr. Kamerly ottered a resolution of request to
the Legislature, on the part of Councils, that the
Mil which proposes the extension be not passed.
The gentleman declared that, if the Councils thus
permitted their powers to be usurped, without any
dissent, they would soon be like the Mock Duke In
the plav, with nothing to do, and no authority.
Mr. Shermer moved to amend Mr. Kamerly 's re
solution, that the bill relative to the house of cor
rection shall not be allowed to pass. The amendment
was agreed to.
The Clerk of Common Council here announced
that that body had Just passed a resolution of simi
lar nature to that or Mr. Kamerly.
Mr. Smith declared that if the resolution be al
lowed to pass it would be equal to an assertion on
the part of the Chamber that they did not want a
house of correction. The bill rolatlve to this pro
ject provides for a commission to purchase a Bite;
and this done, the city authorities are to build the
House. The speaker stated that he had served tor
I four years on a coram ttee of Councils to secure
I uch an Institution, and he did not wish to see It de
feated now. ....
As to extending the terms of office of the heads
of departments, he advocated It. The Republican
party, ho desired all to know, was for keeping good
men In office, and It was on this principle that the
party advocated the passage of the Metropolitan
Police bill.
The resolution of request was agreed to by a vote
of 19 yeas to 6 navB.

drawing of the committee in the Hodgdon-Coxo con
tested election, for the seat of the .Eighth ward was

The roll was then called, and all the members an
swering to their names, the president ordered that
the doors be closed and the drawing proceeded
with.
Mr. Cochran, of the Fifth ward, and Mr. Shoe
maker, of the Thirteenth ward, were appointed
tellers.
The names having been written, they were placed
in a box and shaken up.
Robert E. Randall, Esq., appeared as counsel for
the contestant, Henry Britton Coxe.
J. Alex. Simpson, Esq., acted In the same capa
city for Mr. Hodgdon.
Mr. Simpson stated that the law required that
the names should be drawn nntil thirteen are loft
in the box; the thirteen gentlemen were then to
proceed to the ante-room, whore the contestants
were alternately to strike oil' three names each,
leaving seven on the committee to try the case.
During the calling of the names, contestant's
counsel challenged Messrs. Shermer and Cramer,
but subsequently desired to withdraw the chal
lenges. After considerable discussion, it was decided that
he had no power so to act.
The following thirteen, having been drawn, re
tired: Republicans Messrs. Armstrong, Bumm, Hark
ness.Jones, Shoemaker, Barlow, Mcllvain, Ritchie,
George A. Smith and William F. Smith 10.
Democrats Messrs. Pluuily, Cochran and Hop
kins ;t. -
The clerk of the Chamber, returning in a few
moments, announced that the following had been
selected as the committee:
Messrs. Barlow, Ritchie, Mcllvain, Armstrong,
Bumm, William F. Smith and George A. Smith.
The gentlemen were then sworn.
. The committee then organized by choosing Thos.
A. Harlow president, B. H. Haines secretary, and
Mortimer L. Johnson messenger. The hour of
three P. M. to-day was fixed for the meeting of the
committee.
The drawing of the committee to decide the con
test in the Twenty-tilth ward, between Samuel Ii.
Snyder, sitting member, Democrat, and Thomas C.
Evans, Republican, was then proceeded with, the
same formula as in the former case being observed.
John Cochran, Esq., acted temporarily as counsel
for Mr. Snyder, and Mr. Simpson announced him
self as counsel for Mr. Evans.
The following thirteen were drawn and retired:
Messrs. Barlow, Bumm, Burnell, Cramer, Fran
ciscus, HarknessJones. Shallcross, Shermer, Shoe
maker, William F. Smith (Republicans); King and
Plumly (Democrats).
The clerk returned and announced that the fol
lowing had been selected as the committee: Messrs.
Barlow, Bumm, Cramer, Jones, Shermer, Shoe
maker, Wm. F. Smith.
The gentlemen were then sworn.
An organization wan e fleeted by choosing Wm.
F. Smith president. Three and a half o'clock
P. M. to-day was lixed upon for the meeting of the
committee.
Mr. Shoemaker offered a petition, signed by Wm.
Sellers and others, on behalf of the Franklin In
stitute, relative to the holding ef a grand centen
nial exhibition of the arts and manufactures, in
Falrmount Park, as an appropriate mode of cele
brating the centennial anniversary of our nation,
it closed with a request that Councils should me
ncorlulize Congress on the subject.
The same gentleman then oO'ered a resolution
providing for the appointment of a joint special
committee of live members from each Chamber, to
present the memorial. Passed.
The same gentleman also presented an ordinance
providing for the erection or new public buildings,
part of which shall be erected on Independence
square, to be known as the "Judiciary Buildings,"
for the accommodation of the courts and their va
rious officers; and that on one of West Potin
squares the other portion shall be erected for the
use of the Mayor, Councils, &c.
Mr. Cochran hoped that this bill would be killed on
the spot. The war against putting up the buildings
on Independence Square had dwindled down into a
guerilla light. The members who were opposed to
the Independence Square project, failing to meet
squarely and fairly the question as to which of the
two sites shall be occupied, now sought to defeat the
erection of the buildings already planned, and for
which proposals were advertised, by trying to divide
them through this supplementary ordinance. If this
measure passed, the city would nave no decent pub
I'o buildings, while it possibly might own a misera
ble Methodist meeting house for court purposes, on
the corner of Independence Square, a similar one on
an opposite corner, and possible a third in the Penn
Squares. He hoped that the blU would be killed
without debate, and he moved to indefinitely post
pone. The bill was Indefinitely postponed by this vote:
Yeas Blckel, Bumm, Cochran, Franciscus, Dark
ness, Hodgdon, Hookey, Hopkins, Jouel, Kamerly,
Marcus, Plumly, Ritchie, bhailcross, Shermar total,
16.
