If I had to guess, the double underscore was just a way to call out a mistake.
The padrinho is Vasco da Silveira, single, proprietor, Presidente de Câmera Municipal de Villa Franca do Campo. He presides over Câmera Municipal which is roughly City Hall so I guess that would make him like a mayor. I also noted on this record that the madrinha is a proprietaria so she also owned land or business of some sort. This is the first time I've seen this listed for a woman in these older records. She also was not present for the baptism but was represented by a legal power of attorney who was a customs officer.
