Also, a similar bill, to pay Thomas J. Bar- rett $118, « defieieney in the riation ger grading A street north, between ist and Also, s bill exempting from Corporation fases, Stepan wee an asylums in Washington city; referred to the committee on finance. 2 Aiso, a bill appropriating $300 to ase 500 feet of hosefor the Anacostia Fire Company, and $150 for the purchase of 250 feet of hose for the Columbia Fire Company; referred to the committee on the fire department. Also, a bill remitting a fine on Matilde Ann | Beall for selling liquor without license; re- _ ferred to the committee on police. Also, a bill from this board with the council board’s amendment thereto, for the construc- | tion “ wooden Laie eked pie street North; appropriating ; the - ment embracing directions to contract with «llis & Co. for the repair of the present iron bridge at a cost of $400; referred to the oom- mittee on improvements. Mr. Pearson presented a petition from D. Dudley Heath to be allowed to place his wood in his wood yard without measurement by a Corporation measurer ; referred to the com- mittee on finance. Mr. Bayly presented a petition from Evan ay ‘or. remission cf a fine for tying his horse to a tree box; referred to the com- mittee on claims, Mr. Bayly back from the committee on claims, 8 bill for the relief of James M. ‘Wright, who had over-paid his taxes ; passed. Also, by the same, from the same committes, similar bill for the relief of P. W. Dorsey (taxes twice paid.) Mr. Pearson wanted to know whether tire bill provided for re-paying him the per cent- age paid to the collector? No answer being made, the said bill was ae Mr. Pepper reported back from the commit- tee on improvements the lower Board’s bill, amendatory of the act ea dome centre of itters alleys hereafter to paved with rick ; over without final action. Mr. Houston presented the petition of A. Baldwin and others ; referred to the commit- tee on improvements. f Mr. Marks reported frem the committee on olaims, s bill remitting a fine to John Hail, for keeping a male dog; passed. A bill from the lower Board, for completing the grading of I street south, from Sixth to Eighth street west, was then taken up and’ x Mr. Clark introduced a resolution of inquiry * xn relation to opening and grading the streets, avenues, do. Mr. Clark moved its reference to the com- ™ mittee - finance . , Mr. Houston suggested the committee on improvements, it being well-known to all the Board that to raise the money to open all the | wnopened streets, set curbstones through all of _ them, and to make the gutters, &c,, was an atter impossibility at this time. Mr. Clark said that as matters now stood, ‘psoperty holders could not build with a pro- per knowledge of the grades of unopened streets, and therefore ran risks in building. This reason alone rendered the opening and ing of the unopened streets a matter of importance, if the means to do it can be raised. He wanted certain information on that point, sand therefore thought his resolution should go to the finance committee. > Mr. Borrows explained, that even in New York city they are now revising and changing the grades of streets. It was of course desir- able to do as little of that as possible. Yet this city cannot eseape the fate of all others im this respect. The width of the streets of Washington would allow the change of grade without much damage to private property. ‘This great width, he was satisfied, was other- wize unfortunate, and it would be necessary, when the city becomes crowded, to have court ses yards to the houses on the streets, if but to uarrow the streets, the dust from which, at that time, if not narrowed, will render a resi- dence here unbearable. Their gieat width, teo, will render crossing a aoa dan: gerous, especially to feeble people. He was op’ d to He the new seaaat their fall width when firet opened, as costing much more money than should be so expended The resolution was referred to committee of oe, Mr. Pepper, from the committee on im- provements, then reported back the bill for the repair of the iron bridge on H street, reo- 1 ing ® concurrence in the lower Board’s amendment thereto, Pyridine for the contracting with the house of Ellis & Co. for its , at a cost of $400. Amendment con- Mr. Pepper reported back, from the commit- tee om canals, the bill for rebuilding the bridges on L and N streets south, appropri- ating $1,000 to that end—without amend- ment ; The question being on its third reading— Mr. Fitspatrick urged that one of them, at L street, was suited for the location of an arched bridge of stone or brick. He was in favor of having an inquiry to that end made by the appropriate committee. He was op- posed to the construction of temporary. bridges over such locations; bill reed third time and Mr. Bayly reperted back, from the commit- tee on claims, a bill from the Lower Board for the relief of Corbin Baker, refunding to him $88 30 over payed by him on a tavern license; sed. Also; # bill for the relief of Evan Hughes; (above described ;) passed. Mr. Pearson introduced a resolution direct- ing the committee on finance to inquire into the propriety of providing by a general law for payment of damages to property hold ers by altering the grades of the streets of the ity ; resolution agreed to. hr Pearson introduced a bill sppropristing bridge acroas Vir- $100 for the repair of the ginia avenue; twice. Mr. Marks gave reasons why this bill should be laid over. Mr. Fitspatrick explained that it was best | bo: to make a proper and permanent improvement in this case. Mr. Borrows argued thet none aden 8 repsirs of this sort could be carried “Nkiegh at this time, owing to the condition of the corporation’s finances. Already similar projects had passed the Councils, until they were piled up on the Mayor’s table in quan- tities not to be executed for years, for want of requisite means; this threw odium on the present administration of the oo: affairs which it did not deserve, Gentlemen should recollect, too, that $60,000 of debt ore. ated by the jast administration of the co: ration had been thrown on this administra- tion, which would require for its redemption w= Quite as much as could be raised under the system of taxation. That isin addi- tion to the sum necessary for the current ex- of the corporation in the two years of , the administration under the present mayor. The habit of passing such improvement ap- propriation bills was an innocent amusement only, costing nothing, because there was no weney to make permanent improvements. As tet mith propositions with reference to his he would. promptly see to them mooted, befere the Board. Fitgpatrick said that he intended to in- # proposition to raise the requisite “once to make these proposed im- money at in 8 permament manner.

In New York, where the improvements may all be said to be finished, the taxes ware $1 25; while here they were only 70 qents on $100. To give high salaries makes it nece to have high taxes. The Couneils failed to sora. tinize every a; iation asked, and ed bills saben mt Dotan ating the expenditure of much more means than the Corporation has. This ne thought improper, explaining why and Ow. Mr. Dove—The Corporation is now - omy oe Tevenue from 'r. Burrows argued to shew that that reve- nue was but adrop in the bucket. The evil wasin voting money away with hand, without being willing to subject taek constituents to the taxation common in other sities. He wanted to know when bills for novel appropriations were passed—who is to pay the piper. He contended that it was folly to attempt to undertake in Washingten im- provements on the style of large cities, unless the councils wonld vote to lay real city taxes on Washington property, dc The lation with reference to a ward market house, already exemplified the folly of the system of building such places. He rehearsed the history of the three or four market houses that had been constructed there. The bill was then passed, and the board adjourned. Common Council.—Reading of the journal dispensed with Mr. J. W. Davis, from the committee on improvements, reported a bill to improve Sev- enteenth street, from New York avenue to B Mr Killmon, from the same committee, re- yoried a bill for s gravel footway inthe Fifth ard, Mr. betes fom ane eens rea a bill for gradi from Sixth to th streets east ; passed over. i Mr. J. W. Davis, from the same committee, a bill to pay a balance due W. R. Woodward for walling the tiber in portion of square 630; passed. Mr. Duncanson, from the committee on claims, reported the followin; relief of Jos. R. Brown; for the relief of Jas. Donnelly; for the relief of Capt. Nally; for the relief of Hanson Brown; and moved that they be referred to the committee on improve- ments. Mr. Clements, from the committee on police, seporied back a bill for the erection of a mar et house inthe Seventh Ward. [This bill proposes to appropriate $8.000, or so much thereof as may be necessary for its erection, and that it be referred to the delegation of the ward te select a site] An amendment offered by Mr. Clements, confining the contract to the citizens of Washington was rejeeted. Mr C. A. Davis moved further to amend the bill by seq that it be given to the lowest responsible bidders; which was adopted. _ The bill was then put on its third ing. and gamed by the following vote—yeas 1 ns: Veco Mints. Newman, Kelly, C. A. Davis, Ball, Busey, Kilmon, McCauley, Cross, Stew- art, Smith, Bamberger, Gili, and Alex. MeD. Nays—Messrs. Donn, Walker, Joseph W. Davis, Duncanson, Clements, and Ruff. At this stage of the proceedings, the Presi- dent of the Board (Dr. Alex. D. Davis) called Dr Busey to the chair, who read the resignation of the President, as its presidin officer ; which was laid on the table until nex: Monday Mr. C. A. Davis, from the Committee on Ways and Means, reported a bill to increase the salary of the police officers of this city. It prepoes to raise them to $800 per anuum. n act from the Board of Aldermen, in re- lation to the erection of lamp posts in the Sixth Ward, was referred to the Committee on Im- provements. On motion, the Board then adjourned. Sucowp Nieurt or ras Kunneis —The justly celebrated Kunkel band commenced their en- tertainments last night, at the National The- ater. This simple announcement we know is sufficient to draw a full house forthem. We doubt very much whether there is a troupe in the country that ean boast of more talent than this. We only have room this afternoon to notice Har-y Lehr, the laughter exoitin Brudder Bones of the troupe. ois possesiel of irresistible comic powers, and s native humor of expression which entitles him to the dignity of the negro comedian! In contra- distinction to the coarse vulgarity and dis- gusting buffoonery, which too often character- izes performers of his class, Mr. Lehr seeks rather (and succeeda) in delighting hisghearers, by a faithful portraiture of the peculiaritics of the negro. His shrewd’ignorance or stolid indifference, the ludicrous effort of the *- house slave” to imitate and affect the manners and jJenguage of his master, and his haughty af- fectation of superiority over his less fortunate fellow-servants, are all happily depicted with a truthfulness and an unotiousness of humor which proves Mr. Lehr possessed of the high- est essentials for magnificent comic acting. To those who may labor under the influence of aeure beleabubs, or are possessed of conscien- tious scruples against laughter, we would say, go listen to Harry’s laugh and witness his act ing- If cachination does not follow auch a dose of fun, the esse must indeed be hopeless, A Deuiestro. Hatr Hovm may now at any time be spent in the green house con- neoted with the President’s Mansion, where Mr. Watt, the accomplished and industrious superintendent of the public grounds con- nected with the mansion, has many rare and beautifui plants in full bloom. Never before did these green houses present an aapect 20 enchanting. They have recently been ro- constructed, as it were, and extensive addi- tions to the varieties of exctics kept there have been. made. Among the beauties now in full bloom-we saw this morning new varieties of the double white Japenics, the cestrum orantbieum, cactus trancata, lycopadium ar- ria, arbutelin stryatum, and other varieties of that arbutelin. We might neme many others, all of which must be seen, however, to be appreciated. An aviary has also been constructed {n connection with these green houses, wherein are a fow varieties of rare and beautiful birds. —~ Severe Warp Manger House —Quite an interesting discussion was carried on last it in the Board:of Common ‘Cauneils upon the report from the Committee on Police making an epprepristion for the erection of a market- house in the seventh ward. It is a subject of mucb interest to our friends in that ward. We are satisfied that if the fands of the corpora- tion will permit the Srpenditare, that a mar- ket-houge in some locality is much needed in that section of the city. The houses are multiplied the o will be. The great saving, however, will be in the time of our fellow Sitisens who must attend market, as time in these days is money, it surely is worth saving. — AurxaspE1a Mount Varnox Guanps. — more market- beaper provisions The pleasure and mirth anticipated ball of this excellent company comes off to-night at Sarepta Hall, Alexandria.
