He le to have the : addressed ition Attorney, and had re- nication in answer to it which, if ft was the pleasure of the board, could be read. There being no objection, the opinion, which is very I iy, Was read. Rt pened ware! sti sented are it is difficult to determine whether, under the circumstances, it js competent or proper for the Councils todo more than accept the resig- nation with such resolution as they may deem fit and expedient. Upon Mr. Berret’s arrest and re- moval from the city, the journals of the two boards show they met to elect in bis place another Person to “serve for the remainder of the term, or jaring such disability.” There was no formal jeclaration of the character of the disability by resolution. Mr. Bradley quotes from the journal of peo moe meeting to show that the office was dec! vacant. Mr. Berret was spoken of as the ene on saation reo tempore was gone Into. 'r. Wallach was elected, accepted, qual- Mied, entered on the duties of the office, an: holds it. So as Mr. Berret remained under the disability of constraint or absence from the city, although it bad extended to the end of his term, there can be no doubt that Mr. Wallach would have continued Mayor. Does it make any difference (Mr. Bradley asks) that instead of re- maining absent Mr. Berret, by another act equally definite, bas continued the disability and made the office vacant which the Councils assumed to beso? Itis not very material how the question ja answered. Mr. Wallachcan, under bis present election, hold and exercise al] the duties of the office, because, having been elected pro tempore to supply the existing disability, and that disabil- ity never baving been removed, he must continue in office. But Mr. Berret has by his own act, pending the disability. rendered it impossible to remove it. So that Mr. Wallach must fill the office for the remainder of the term as though he had in terms been elected todo so. It wasa mis- take in the Councils to assume that the office was vacant, and equally a mistake on that assumption to elect pro tempore unless thereby meant ** for the remainder of the term.” The charter clearly intends to distinguish between those cases which create a heer’ Sage those which only sus- the power of the Mayor te act. In the former case must elect for the remainder of the term, In the during the disability. Mr. Bradley procerds to a that the Coun- cils_ have already exbausted all the power given to them by the charter; and then on to say tbat the Councils proceeded on the ground of a vacancy when none existed, and that vacancy is afterwards created while the disability continued for which they ought to have provided; and con- cludes as follows: “On the whole, on the best reflection I have been able to give the subject, | am satisfied that Mr. Wallacb’s election extends to the whole re- mainder of the term of office left by Mr. Berret, and no further election Is necessary.” Mr Magruder moved that the resignation of Mr. Berret be laid on the table; and that the opin- ion of the Corporation Attorney be printed with the proceedings of the board Mr. Moore to include the resignation and Mr. Dove's note to the Corporation Attorney. The amendment was agreed to, and the motion carried—Mr. Lloyd only voting against it. Mr. Moore ot aresolution requesting the Mayor to Issue bis proclamation enjoiaing the ob- servance of Thursday nex’, the 26th instant, as a day of fasting, humiliation and og wo in accord- ance with the proclamation of the President; and that all secular business be suspended, &c. Mr. Lioyd saw no reason for the passage of this resolution. The Mayor bas already recommended 8 proper observance of the day, and we have no right te request him to issuea proclamation The President bas already issued a proclamation, and the Mayor has done in the iises exactly what Governors of the several States have done Mr. Moore asked if the Mayor had already done r. ers said it was in ~ nage me Intelli- gencer — ) morning ie [poy of this resolution would be a reflection on the Mayor,and he could not vote forit It would = as if be (the Mayor) was to ask the board jission to carry out the proclamation of the dent. fore except in one instance, when for some reason the Mayor issued bis proclamation for the observ- ance of Thanksgiving without the usual request of the beards.

Common Cowncil.—The following communica- tions were presented : From the Mayor, approving certain acts; from the commissioner of the western district of the city in relation to the sewer drop on Eleventh street, between G and H streets; from W. 1.

Mr. Given moved its reference to a committee. Mr. Shepherd thought it unnecessary. There ‘was no need of hesitating about taking an oath of allegiance to the Constitution. Mr. Mohun was of the opinion that it should go toacommittee. He did not like its form ex- exactly, but preferred that it should read “re- quested’? instead of ‘‘required.’’ The action with regard to taking the oath should not be forced, but should be voluntary. Mr. Given desired to know what penalty they would inflict for a refusal to comply with its terms. How could they expel a member of the board simply for refusing to take a certain oath. Mr. Shepherd said they would do it by votin for it. He believed there were loyal voters enoug! to do it too, if It was necessary Mr. Mulloy should not vote for it, and be was not afraid to say it in the face of the Administra- tien. He should take no oath couched in such language, nor should he bind himself sacredly to one Constitution when it might compromise him with respect to another. He was not agoing to na a halter around his neck ‘be bill was finally referred to a committee for consideration. An amendment of the upper board to a bill for obs J the gutter at the corner of north B and bird streets east, changing it to corner of B and First streets east, was concurred in A substitute for the bill authorizing the Water Register to lay certain water mains by specs eentncl, and a joint resolution originating in the upper board, recommending the observance of the day set apart for humiliation, prayer and fast- ing, were adopted. A joint resolution in relation to hogs going at large was tabled, and a resolution in relation to the finance committee of July 8th, in response to a@ resolution of June 10th, was referred. A resolution requesting the Surveyor to furnish 8 plan for altering the pavement in the gutter In square 226 with the cost was adopted.

On this s veral otber gunners, Germans from St. Louis, al doned the gun, carrying off the primer matches, to render the piece useless. The action continued for an hour, when our column was slowly withdrawn to a more open position, brin: ing off the wounded, and dragging away the gu by band, all the horses having killed or bad- ly wounded. About this time, Col. Smith, who left St. Jo- seph with 1,400 men at about the same time with Col. Scott, for the same general purpose, joined the li » having pam forward his mounted men and artillery at 2 rapid pace on receiving a message from Col.
