The minute of the .previous metitig were read and approved. Alderman Vollers moved to reconsider the acceptance of Mayor Dawson's resig nation. Alderman Hill moved to lay the mo tion on the table. Lost. i Mavor Dawson asked leave to make a i statement in connection with the motion, to the effect that only tho demands of his private business affairs had caused him to resign, and that although he regretted very much being compelled so to act he must adhere to his original intention, and would insist on the acceptance of his resig nation. r The motion was accordingly withdrawn. ; Alderman Myers offered tho following resolutions, which were carried unani- mously: i - ' "VjfiiEUEAs, The Executive Chair tho city! having been made vacant by the re signation of the Hon. John Dawson, Eesolved, That we, the members of this Board, desire to express our regrets at his leaving us, and to place upon record our high appreciatfon of his official services and his uniform kindness and courtesy to the members of this Board. j Jiesolved, That we accept his . resigna tion unwillingly, feeling that wc shall miss his couusel and experience in managing the affairs of our debt-burdened city. Jiesolved, That these resolutions be placed among the city records, . and that the City Clerk present a copy to the re tiring Mayor. Alderman KiLg then moved that the Board now proceed to elect an Alderman. Carried. Alderman Vollers nominated Mr. Chas. II. Robinson; Alderman Foster, Mr. Geo. Chadbourn; Alderman Myers, Mr. Owen : - - i j Fennel!; Alderman Bowden, Mr.' W. P. Oldham; Alderman King, Mr. g. II. Fish blate; and Alderman Hill, Mr. Edward Kidder. ! ! Thq Mayor appointed Aldermen Bowdeh and Foster tellers, and directed the Board to prepare their ballots. The following is believed to be the coi" rect polling of the several ballots: i j i . FIRST i BALLOT. Chas. II. Robinson, 2 votes Aldermen Vollers' and VonGlahn. Owen Fennell, 1 vote Alderman My ers. ' .' George Chadbourn, 4 votes Aldermen Foster, Hill, King and Lowery. W. P. Oldham, 2 votes Aldermen Bowden and Flanner. No election. - SECOND 1.ALLOTT. C. U. Robinson, 3 votes Aldermen Vollers, VonGlahn and Myers. Edward Kidder, 8 votes Aldermen Hill,. King and Lowery. W. P. Oldham, 1 Bowdenj . S. 11. Fishblato. 1 vote Alderman vote Alderman Flanner. No election. THIRD BALLOTT. Owen Myers. Fennell, 1 vote Alderman n. Ill: Robinson. 2 votes Aldermen VonGlahn and Bowden. F. W. Foster. This vote was thrown away as Mr. Foster is already an Alder and is supposed to have been voted by Alderman Vollers. S. II. Fishblate, 6 votes Aldermen Foster, Hill, King, Lowery and Flanner. Mr. Fishblate having received a major ity of all the votes was declared duly elected an Alderman ot the city from the Fourth Ward. Ex-Mayor Dawson, then brUfly ad dressed the Board reviewing the: history of his administration. He spoke in com plimentary terms of the officials under him, and after thanking the members of the Board of Aldermen for their uniform courtsey and kindness withdrew from the meeting. Alderman Foster, moved that Alder man Flanner bo made temporary Cha r man: Carried. j Mr. S. H. Fishblate tho newly elected Alderman happening to be present, Al dermen Vollers and Lowrey on motion; of the latter were appointed a committee! to escort the newly elected member to his scat. The oath of office was then administered by "I Justice Chas. D. Myers, and the his seat as a full fledged Alderman. The Chair announced the election o Mayor next in order. Alderman King nominated Alderman Flanner, Alderman Vollers nominated Alderman Bowden, Alderman Lowery nominated Alderman Fishblate, and Alderman Hill! nominated Alderman Fos ter. ; . Alderman Bowden declined the nomina tion. ! The three ballots were then held, and the following is believed to be the correct polling of the different ballots. FIRST BALLOT. Flanner 3 yotes Aldermen Myers, Bowden and Fjanner. ' Fishblate 1 vote Alderman Lowrey. Foster 3 votes Aldermen Hill, Foster and Fishblate. Bowden 1 vote Alderman VonGlahn.

Upon taking his seat the newly elected Mayor indulged in a few remarks, thank ing the gentlemen for the honor conferred. On motion of Alderman Flanner, the Board then adjourned subject to the call of the Chairman. Credit vs Cash. Yesterday wc met an old negro trudg- . i ing alonir with a heavy side of bacon hat he had bought, swinging over his shoulder. We noticed that he was mis erably clad and asked him why he bought so much meat when he was so sadly in need of clothes ? The old man stopped, looked us full in the face for a few mo ments, and said, in most solemn tones: "Massa, whe'n I ax my back for credit, it i gibs it; when I speak to dis," laying his hand upon his stomach, 'it calls I for do cash." Should be Protected. The insect-eating birds, have bejen ruth lessly destroyed in all parts of th,e conn try, and a war of extermination is" still going on in communities where we might expect better things. These are but a a small number of the causes which might be named, all. working together, in giving the noxious insects the advantage over the husbandman, and bringing disas trous results where good' would come, if an opposite course had been pursued. The resolution offered, by Alderman Foster, some time ago, for the protection of birds, was a good ono and should be rigidly '.enforced. The English sparrows which .were ordered by him will be here sometime in April. Ferocious Dos. We have been informed that hear tbe corner of Sixth and Mulberry streets is a ferociou3 dog, which seems to glory in at tacking pedestrians as they are1 wending their way pass the yard in which he is kept. Night before last an attache cf this offic j happened to be standing on the corner of Sixth and Mulberry streets as the dog sprang ever the fence and attacked a woman wha was passing the yard. The young man, by the quick use of a stick and severaf well-directed blows, pre vented the beast from doing the woman any serious harm. Had it not been that the young man was close at hand, the woman, in all probability, would have been pretty severely wounded. Such dogs are a nuisance, and should not be allowed to remain in the city, or a better way, to rid a neighborhood of such a tenor, would be to put an end to them.

Natural Death No Foui Play. i i After all there does not seem' to have been any well founded cause for the sun position of foui play in the sudden death of Rachael Murphy on Monday about four miles from thisafcity. It seems that the deceased was very nearly 70 years of age and died from natural causes, brought on from want of proper nourishment and that comfort necessary to the health of one who has reachad nearly three score years and ten. The old woman has been complaining for sonic time past of a pain oyer her heart, and of late has been griev- I I ingvery much for the safety of her son who recently shipped on a vessel for Na vassa Island as a laborer. The rumor which has spread among the colored people ot this city to the effect that the vessel was lost at sea and all hands had perished, prayed upon the old woman's mind to such an extent that at times she was thought to be insane. This mental trouble, coupled with the great exposure to which she was subjected, is, according to the Coroner's verdict, the cause of her death. Altera careful and thorough examination by Dr. i). F. Burk hardt and the hearing of the evidence which was adduced, the jury returned a verdict that the deceased, came to her death from natural causes. The Stevedore Case- The case of the State jrs. I Richard Hooper, colored, charged with assault with a deadly weapon upon tho person of Wil liam Richardson, which was given to ihe Jury last night, has not yet brcn ''decided. The Jury, after staying out all night and up to noon to-day, could not dtcidc and the case has again been set for trial. This is the famous "stevedore case." A few other cases were disposed of and two thieves were convicted and sentenced ito the pen. . " 5 ' Cautionary.

This prac tice ceased to be a joke last Valentine's Day, and it would be well for the young men interested to h-d these remarks, otherwise some of them might come to grief a word to the wise is sufficient.
