Dudley and Bear, and opposed by the Mayor and Aldermen DeRosset, Boney and Chadbourn, Al derman Fishblate called for the ayes and noes bnthe passage of his resolu tion.

Alderman Howe being excused on the plea that he did not' understand the question, he having come in at a late stage of tbe proceedings. Alderman DeRosset stated, in expk nation of his vote, that it was cast against the resolution of Alderman Fishblate because there is no necessity for passing a resolution to do what the City Attorney says in his opinion it is the duty of the Board to do at the proper time. Alderman Boney then submitted the following report of the committee on Streets and Wharves! Your committee, to whom was re ferred the bids for grading and paving North Water street, beg j leave to re port. ' i:. They have carefully considered all the bids for-the supply of the materials and laying blocks, &c. and conclude that the bids of S. A. Pearce for sup plying the paving block , Mr. W A. Sweeny for supolyijg the flag-stone anoVcurbing, and of Mr. R. B. Wook for laying the paving blocks, flagging and curbstone, make in. the ; aggregate the lowest bid for the whole work required and the most advantageous for the city. The grading and supplying sand, &c , they believe, can be done by the street force to better advantage; .however, they make' estimate as to cost, jn 'case of it becoming necessary to biro it done. The calculations based on the above bids are as follows : ' 68.200 granite blocks ,5, 1 15. 00 750 yards 5 It. flagging; ...... 1,178.55 2,112 ft. 16-mch curbing , 71702 Lavine 3.300 yds. with blocks w 891 00 Laying L027;yds. flagging.-.;.

' ' The blocks selected are to be supplied from the granite quarries near Winns boro. S. C. The blue stone flagging and curbing are to be supplied from quarries .on the Hudson river, and as it may reasonably be expeected that the navigation of that river will be closed for the winter .wthin Uhe ;next fifteen days, it is necessary to lose rio time in concluding the contract for this material to prevent any delay in the work. Your committee recommend that contracts be mado with Mr. S. A. Pearce lor 68.200 granite blocks, ten per cent, more or less as the city may require, he to guarantee that the blocks average 4J inches in width, 12 inches long and 6 inches thick, none of which are to be less than 6 inches deep. 3 inches wide and 9 inches long, nor more than 5 inches wide. 7' Inches deep and 15 inches long at his bid of $75 per thousand, delivered at the railroad de pot In Wilmington; basis of measure ment 21 blocks to the square yard of pavement., . lVft!rMr.,5V: A.'.Seerjy for 750 yards 5 feet 6 Inch flagging for side walks, and for 3,112 lineal feet of 16 inch curbing, in accordance ; with his bid. ..

He was accompanied by another color edTOJlntjvno did not et&erthe store with his friend but waited for him outside. In a few moments theeport-9of a shot within the store washeari and the man who was outside rushed in and found : Mr. Morton lying across ihe cunter insensible, and!, with a gaping wound in his left temple. The intended purchaser was standing near ' apparent ly horror-stricken, afld the pistol, a self cocker, 38 calibre, lay upon the counter Surgical assistance was soon at hand but Mr. Morton remained insensible and died in thirty minutes. There is no actual knowledge a3 to how. the unfortunate affair occurred. How the ball came to be in the pistol is about tbo greatest mystery of all. The man who was examining the pistol declares that Mr Morton shot himself but this is of course absurd. The de ceased was a very estimable young man, unmarried, and was veiy popu lar with all classes in Monroe. Mc Iarty was arrested and was committed to jail without bail on the verdict of the coroner's jury.
