Mr. Smith was opposed to the election of the present occupant of said office on th ground that he was foreign-born, but the pi of which he could not show. { Mr. Smith moved that the two Boards meet on Monday, the 15th inst., for the election of Assessor in place of Mr. Clampitt. Mr. Magruder asked, asa matter of courtesy, that the matter be laid over until the next meeting of the Board, for the of en- abling Mr. Miller to give his views, which he believed would be just evidence in favor of the present occupant; rejected : r. Magruder then moved that the motion be laid on the table; rejected. Ayes, 8; nays, 1. A resignation was received from J. Hep- burn, Assessor for the Fifth Ward. A resolution was passed for the Lal ae of ing into an election for Assessors for the a and Fifth Wards, and a committee ap- pointed to notify the lower Board of the pas- sage of the resolution. T mation was made that the Board meet in future at 4 o'clock; rejected. ~ ‘A resolution was pazsed to repair the roof on the west wing of the City Hall. : Messrs.

A resolution was also received from the same Board appointing a special committee to urge on the Committee for the District of Columbia in Congress the necessity of having gas on the public mall; which was passed. The two Boards then went into joint meet- ing for the purpose of electing assessors, and after balloting Mr. J. B. Williamson was do- clared elected for the Second Ward and Mr. B. F. Dyer for the Fifth. The Board then adjourned. Common Council.—The Board mot at 7, Layo Warrants.—We unierstand that Jaod warrants advanced in price to-day in this city one and a-half cents per acre. ‘This tise is owing to a sudden demand from Min- nesota on this market, which greatly exceeds our momentary supply. Chubb Brothors quote them to-day at $1.12 per acre, buying, and $1.13} selling, for 80’s and 160’s; 120’s and 60’s at $1 09a$1 10. Goar ALLEY.—We do not find this locality on the map of the city, nor do we know whether the same has been recognized by the munici pal authorities; but it is said there is existin, in that part of Washington numerous calanet persons who ozcupy tenements without the leave of the owners. They are not very par- ticular as to the manner of obtaining admis- sion. Asacase in point: yesterday, one of those people wishing to take up his quarters in the alley, feared furniture—nothing to boast of—near the house which suited his fan- ey, and then climbed in through the windows, his traps having been subsequently sheltered. Tre Seconp Anxvat Batt of the Western Hose Company, No. 1, will be given at the Washington feeble Rooms, Louisiana ave nue, thisevening Their first having been so largely attended, and rendered so much inno- cent gratification to the company, affords g guarantee that the second will be prolific of a similar result. Szconp Warp Scavencern.—Complaint has been made to us that the scavenger of this Ward fails to perform his duties, notwithstand- ing the repeated applications for his service>. Warcn Returns —Henry Fritz, ono of earth's wanderers, designated as a vagrant, was dismissed, on the condition that he would leave the city; and Wm. McPherson, for be- ing drunk, was released on similar terms Joseph Thomas, James Diggs, and William Moody, of Goat alley, charged with unlawful gathering, were severally required to pay a fine and costs.
