THE LOBBY
There was a larger lobby than was present at
the inaugural meeting. The reason was ob
vious. Then men came for curiosity; last
evening they wore for something more sub
stantial. They expected plunder in the
shape of appointments. There were
seekers lor every office at the disposal of the
body politic, whose air they vitiated with bad
cigars, and whose seats they desecrated by their
uninvited presence. They were lobbying in a
place not constructed for such purposes; and so
great was the number of birds of prey, and so
comparatively few the carcasses, that they turn
ed upou each other for want of some one else to
attack. The Sergeant-at-Arms and his be-starred
(ill-starred, too, it would seem) began to
clear the aisles at 7:30. Before 8 o’clock,
something of order had been secured;
the favored were separated from the
others, like the sheep from the
gr*' the latter, naturally enough, considerably
01 wibering the former. Wells Sherman wax
*’Jlfnant when the freedom of the press was
a 1 vp d.|and a reporter required to remain
standing for a minute or two, and assisted iu
clearing the aisles. So closely, however, did the
visiting parties cling to the button-holes of the
that to remove the former without
the latter was almost impossible. The Clerk was
feebly heard calling the roll, when the Council
came to order.
OFFICEHOLDERS’ RONDS.
Aid. McGinnis moved that the vote approving
the bonds of tbe City Collector and Police Con
stable be reconsidered.
Ud. Holden wished to delay business until tbe
Council bad come to order. There was a jam in
theroom.
Aid. McGinnis moved that the Finance Com
mittee be instructed to inquire into the sufficien
cy of the bonds of the City Collector and Police
Clerk.
Aid. McGrath moved to reconsider the motion
approving them.
Aid. Buehler said if it was a matter of spite ho
did not want to vote for it.
The Clerk read the bond of the City Collector.
Aid. Buehler moved to lay the motion to recon
sider on the table, and it was so disposed of.
POLICE CONSTABLES.
The following communication was read from
His Honor the Mayor:
To the I*rc>-Uleul aud Jfi'iuhrrs of tj,c Council
In considering the powers ami duties of tbe Ma>or
to appoint men. some doubt arose in mv mind as to the
proper mode of appointing er selecting Constables
lor the Police Courts. I therefore obtained the opinion,
iu writing, of the law officers of the citr, a copy of
which is herewith appended. Their opinion accords
with my own. namely, that, since the adoption of the
new constitution, all Constables are to be elected. As
there seems to be a necessity that the duties hereto
fore discliarged bv Police Constables should continue
to be discharged by some properlvauthorized persons,
the law officers have drafted an ordinance, which
is herewith submitted, for such action as vonr honor
able body may seem proper to take therewith. This
provides for their selection from the judice force of
the city, and will result in tie saving to the citv of the
salaries heretofore paid to Police Constables. Tliis
proposed ordinance also fixes the place fur holding the
Police Court for the South Division. lam informed
by (the Corporation Cuunseljancl Citv Attoniev that
there is a necessity for immediate action upon the lat
ter matter. I therefore recommend Uiat whatever in
thejudgmrnt of your honorable bedv should be done
be done at once. Respectfully.
Joseph Mf.dill, Mayor.
The following is the opinion of the Citv Attor
ney referred to, and the endorsement of the Cor
poration Counsel:
Jf- it. Jowh JUcdilU Afflj/or. etc.:
SIU: Afi to police Constables, Section 21 of Article 0
the new constitution provides tliat Justices of the
Peace. Police Magistrates, ami Con&tibles shall be
fleeted, etc. This section is modified by Section 23, as
to Justices of the Peace in Chicago, who arc to be np
pointed by the Governor, etc. Nothing further is said,
however, as to Constables in Chicago, and thev are
therefore—ln the case of all other Constables—not to
l>e appointed, but by election. It follows that there is
no authority for the appointment of Police Constables
by the Mayor.
Police Justices— Under the citv charter the Common
Council Ims power to provide for Hie holding of a
Ih'lice Conxl in each division of the city, and to desig.
natc a Justice of the Peace to hold eacli of said court.
(Cary. p. 191. Sec. 3.) This power lias been exercised
as to the North and West Divisions, hut not as to the
.*?outh Division. (See Council proceedings, ISGS-H*<>9.
‘J5<-472.) it is competent, therefore*, for the Connell
to pi ovule, by ordinance, for the holding of a Police
c ourt for the South Division, and to designate a Jua
ticc of the Peace to hold said court.
Under this view there would bn no authority for
decimating more than one Polite Justice for such
division. Verr respectfully.
L N. stiles, Citv Attorney.
I concur In the construction of the charter above set

Aid. Holden moved that the communication bo
icferrcd to the Committee on Judiciary. It was
eo referred.
cm* OFFICERS.
Aid. Holden moved to proceed to the election
of the various officers, as provided by the charter.
Aid, Gill thought the charter was not obliga
tory. He would be glad to see the electioneering
and button-holing disposed of. He said; “t
have been informed that there lias been an at-
Tt mpt to levy blackmail upon the candidates—
that men have been asked to give certain sums—
•to put it up*—ln hundreds of dollars, for the pur
pose ot aiding their election. I therefore move,
.Mr. Pi esident, as an amendment to Alderman
lioldcn’s motion, that this election bex>oßtpoacd
lor rue week.**
Aid. SchofThcr said if this informalior» was
true, he did not sec what could be gained by
postponing action. Ho wished that the Aider
man would make his charges. He would assist
in any investigation. He would have to leave
tho ciry if it was postponed.
A vote was taken, resulting veas, 20; nays,2o;
as follows:
Yeas— Aid. Knickctbockcr, Bowen, Otis, Dixon,

dent—2o.
The motion was lost.
Aid. Dixon moved to postpone it until tho reg
ular order of bittiness was disputed of.
Aid. Knickoiboc-ker contended that a dissenting
voice could prevent a temporary suspension of
the i ulcs.
Aid. Holden. The Alderman talks about bribery,
r orruplion, and this sort of thing In our midst; I
would say that this is a fire-proof Council. Tho
woia Fire-proof carries with ir honesty, so the
p:-pei>. say. There can be no dishonesty here for
The teuton that this is a Fire-proof CounciL I hope
that we will proceed as the charter directs to go

AM. Holden. Let us have the names
AM. Gill. You will get the names as quick as
yon want them. It is the duty of the Council to
invodgatc tho matter, and not allow this election
to go through in this way. I am in favor of it
and I hope the Connell will vote down the propo
sition to go into an election to-night.
Aid. Holden. Give us the names.
Aid. Sweet had voted aye for the reason that,
if them was any dishonesty, ho wanted it ferreted
out. He claimed to be an honest man, and, if
any one offered him money, he would reseat it, if
his muscles were Mg enough. r
Aid. Knickerbocker insisted, under Rule 43,
that the Council proceed with tho regular order
of business. He knew nothing of the alleged
corruption, hut had heard rumors on the streets
that large sums of money had been offered—that
a pool was made, and that men were compelled
to put their hands in their pockets and pay an
initiation foe before they were considered can
didates. Ho was in favor of deferring the elec
tion for one week.
Aid. McGrath said it seemed to him it was the
simple duty of the Council to proceed to an elec
tion, and put in a class of men that would satisfy
the public that there was no bribery. Aid. Hoi
dcirs motion was certainly in order.
Aid. Bond coincided with tho views ef Aid.
Knickerbocker. He also had heard rumors of
bribery, and thought it due to the Council that
the matter should ho looked into. He believed
.an investigation would establish the falsity of the
Aid. Bateham had voted no, and, therefore,
moved that tho rote be reconsidered, in order
that an investigation might be made made.
Aid. Otis seconded the motion.
A Id. Holden said he couldn’t do so, as he (Otis)
had voted on the other side.
Aid Gill asserted that the point could be reach
ed l>3* voting-down Aid. Holden's motion.
Aid. Bateham withdrew his motion.
L Aid. Schaffner was shocked at the idea or brib

of bribery end corruption he indignantly fluug
from him. He courted the closest scrutiny. He
