Mason, 'Mayor: Aldermen Duffel, Blunbridge. Smith. Noel and Jolnson. Absnct-Aldermnan LeBlanc. Minutes of the two previous meetings were read and approved. The Mayor stated that the seal ordered at last meeting, was being made and would be ready in a few (Ways. The Committee on Public Works reported that "the work on the streets, ditches, side walks and landings has been done as per specifications given by the Committee of Public Works. The report was adopted by the following vote: Burbridge. Smith. Noel and Johnson vot ing yes. Duffel voting no. Alderman Duffel arose and exldained " that his reason for voting no, was that the contract had not been carried out, as he understood the speleiications, and therefore, votedt no."' The Special Committee on the wharf reported progress, andt asked more time. Report adopted and more time allowed. The market clerk presented his report for the time he had been in possession, and laid a proposition of the butchers iWsfore the Council to help the town buy a portalde gas machline for the market-hoause. The report was adopted, and the proposi tion was laid on the table, subject to call. Alderman Duffel presented the following: To the lion. Mayor and Aldermen of the Town of Donaldsonville: The petition of the undersigned citizens of the town of Donaldsonville anll of the Parish of Ascension, respecttully lecpresent to your' Honorable body, that they have lt-eu in fiornmed that acting upon a memorial of per sous lreprese~unting the interest of the steam anti flat boats plying in Bayou Lafourehe. your body, at its last session, adopted a resolutioni transferring the Bayou Latiurnche ferry from its present location to the headl of Opelousas street. Your lstitioners further represent that your said action omust have been based upon the false representations of said memorialists, and the propoosed change, will prose highly injurious to the under signed, who are vitally interested in the mat ter. That said ferry itas now established, in no way interferes with tihe navigation of the Bayou, and places no obstacles to the receiv ing and discharging of freight as represented to you, as the water of the Bayou is so lor that boats, whether steamboats or flatboats, can no longer cross the bar at the lmouth d' the B;yottu. That ample space hasl been allotted on the battmre and banks of tie Bayou for the aceomrmodation of steamboats and other watercraft; and the space resett ed for the terry lauding fronm time imueu orial has been deluonstrated by long expetd etuce to be the best, most accessible awl safest place at which to crossnn vehicles in how water, and has never been considered until now as fornigin any obstruction to the frte ua vigation of the l ayou. Your petitioners further respectfully show that the crossing at Opelousas street, is nt only inconvenient and i practictable at the present stage of the water, but is emmiu ently dangerous owing to the steepness of the banks; and any attempt to cross there in carriages, buggies and wagons, in dark nights or Im wet and imuddy weather, would lh courting danger. That an inspection of the same will at once convinuce you of the same. Premises considered, your petitioners would respectfully ask that you reconsider and recall your" resolution changing tie hByou Lafourehe landing froml its present hocation. And your petitioners will ever pray as in duty bound. J. L. McC'ormick, John R. Fayette. J. .1. Clhverie, Ambrose lRouigeanu, l)r. B. Claverie, lr. A. Claverse, N. Blel Allen Thomas, John F. Park.

Aldernan Duffel spoke at great length in support of the petition, and urged the Conn cil to reconsider Itheir former vote and rescind the resoulntion passed, moving the the ferry. He was followed by Alderman Noel, who urged the Council to stand by their vote, and remove the ferry at all hazards. Alderman Smith spoke in an earnest man ner in support of the resolution, and advo cated the moving of the ferry as a measure of public safety. Alderman llurbridgoe and Johnson sus tained hinm in his views, and urged the removal of the ferry to ()pelousas street. M. Marks, Esq.. was granted permission to make his views known, which he did in a lengthy speech justifying the removal of the ferry; and said. 'the Council will act like children to be swayed by the lwtition now before the Council." Alderman Duffel replied to Mr. Marks, hy stating the reason the ferry was ever moved from its present location, which was because the fort built opposite, omnpelled the ferry to move further down the Bayou; but the ferry had been at the mouth of Bayou La fiur-che for f1fty or sixty years, and comn mierce did not suffer. The former ('ouncils had allowed the ferry to move from ()pelon sas street to its present location in low water, and lback'to Opelousas street in high water whichever location was most safe for travel. Alderman Burbridge moved that the Mayor address the Council and give his views of the vexed question. Motion adopt edl. His Honor gave the chair to Alderman Smith. and luoceeed to make a telling argu ment. le said: W" When the Governor ap pointed myself and this Council, he intended we should do our duty by the people, irre specti\ve of party, ljust the same as if we hadi received the entire vote of the town and parish, and we are in duty bound to give due weight to the voice of the peopleh. I do not think it childish to reconsider a -vote or action of the Council. if we are assured said action is wrong and will work a hardship to the majority of the people. And I think this petition of the planters, merchan:ts and others, should be duly considered. The town is building rapidly, and this Council should do all in their power to enhance the value of property." The Mayor in the el ai.-. Alderunum Smith said he wanted to do the best for the people at large, also; but thought the poor people entitled to as much consideration as the rich ones; snd moved to lay the petition on the table. Before putting to vote, the Mayor suggest ed that the resolution be rescinded. Alderman Smith withdrew his motion and offered the following resolution. which was seconded hy Alderman Noel. Be it rerslved that the ferry-man be and is hereby allowed a longer time to move the ferry, and that "fifteen days instead of five days, from notice, be given." The resolution was accepted. Alderman Smith offered the following: IBe it resolred. that the clerk of the market shall turn over the funds or market dues eolleeted each week, to the T'rcastuser, each and every Saturday. Adopted.. By Alderman Smuith: Ble it resolred, That the Mayor shall re ceive a salary of three hundred dollars. ($300), per aninuu, payable quarterly. on his own warrant, and that eatch and every Al delulan shall receive tihe sum of two dollars, ($*L 00), for every sitting, payable on his warrant. The resolution was adopted. ()n motion of Aldeirmnn Smith the Council adjourned until the 5th instant, at 4 o'clock, P. M. The Council met at 4, P. M ., as per ad journmnent. Present-E. V. .
