EVENING STAR. "LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. Boarp or ALDERMEN.—The Board met at the usual hour, Mr. Pearson in the chair. A communication was received from the Mayor announcing his having signed various bills A communication was received from the Mayor, stating that, pursuant to the act thorising the purchase of asteam dredging ma chine, su experimental trial was made on Fri- day last of the one lately constructed for the Corporation, which had resulted satisfactorily, and recommending that the revenue of the Corporation be anticipated to the amount of $7,000 to pay for the machine A re was received from Sam’! 8. Briggs, who certified the capability of the machine to perform equal to the terms of the contract, viz: 400 yards of dredging per day; also, from F. Little, Commissioner of Canal, recom mending an appropriation for canal repairs and for the purchase of scows, in order that the machine may be put in operation On motion, the communication and reports were appropriately referred. A petition was presented by the Chair, frem the Apothecaries’ Association of Washington, asking the use of the Aldermen’s room for their meeting ; referred to police committee. Mr. Dove presented petition of F. Hagar; referred to claims committee. Mr. Pepper, from the claims committee, presented substitute for Council bill, for grading and paving alley in square 528; assed. Also, without amendment, Council bill for laying foot-pavement on M street north; passed. Mr. lane: from the police committee, re- ported adversely upon the bill regulating travel on bridges, and the bill was rejected. Mr Busey, from the same committee, re- ported favorably to allowing the Apothecaries’ Association use of the room one evening in each week, provided they pay expenses of fuel and lights, and the messenger for his services; granted. Mr. Busey. from the same committee, re- rted a bill to prevent fast driving over ridges, making the owner as well as his agent responsible for the act of his vehicle. He doubted whether the provisions of the bill could be enforced; but something ought to be done. The law was evaded, especially upon the Long Bridge, by the drivers handing the reins over to strangers who could not be found afterwards. The design of the bill was to reach the owner of the vehicle. Mr. Dove thought it veryhard that the owner of vehicles—the keeper of a livery stable for instance—should be held responei- ble for the acts of A, B and C, who had hired bis carriages. Mr. Miller held that the present law was sufficient, the individual having the vehicle in charge was the responsible person, whether he held the reins or not. Mr. Houston inquired if Government had not the control of the Long Bridge? If 80, it had power to regulate the rate of driving over it The question was further debated by Messrs Miller, Busey, Smith, Pepper and Ma- gruder Mr. Smsth said it was a hard matter to reach the parties offending, but he did not know that they could do better than pass the bill. The fast driving over the Long Bridge was & grievous annoyance to the citizens of the Seventh Ward. and in consequence of the efforts made in Georgetown and other quarters to get rid of the Long Bridge, it was a matter of interest to the citizens of that ward to have the present bridge preserved as carefully as possible, lest if it was destroyed they should not get another. Mr. Magruder contended that it was ex- ceeding!y wrong to passlaws which cannot be enforced; which are so erroneous and unjust that the community will not submit to them. By this bill. if a horse and vebicle was stolen, the owner of the horse and vehicle was made responsible for the act, if the thief should drive faster than the law permitted while running away with the team. We might as well attempt to make the owner of a house re- sponsible for the doings of his tenant. The statute book was lumbered up with laws that cannot be enforced. Mr. Houston was opposed to placing laws upon record to be thrown in our teeth by the circuit court, but there was a necessity for some mode of reaching these cases, and there- fore he was in favor of passing this bill The bill was passed. Council resolution appointing a committee of one from each Beard in conjunction with the Mayor, to invite Hon. Edward Everett to deliver in this city his discourse upon the character of Washington, was debated by Messrs. Magruder, Bayly, Busey and others, acd laid upon the table. Council bill disagreeing with bill regulating the renting of stalls in Western Market was taken up On motion of Mr. Magruder the amendment of the Board of Aldermen was insisted upon, and a committee of conference demanded Messrs. Magruder, Houston and Pearson were appointed by the chair (Mr. Clark, who bad now takon his seat) upon this committee. Council resolution instructing the committee befure Congress to ask the lighting up of Maryland avenue between Second and Third Streets east, was passed Council bill authorizing the Mayor to make a temporary loan to pay for the new dredging machine was referred to the finance com- mittee Council bill appropriating three thousand dollars for improving Washington Canal was referred to canal committee. Council bill making appropriation to pay the salary of the Commissioner of Health up to the end of the fiscal year was referred to finance committee. Mr. Busey called up the special order, the vill fixing the amnual salary of the Mayor at $2,400 Mr. Smith moved its indefinite postpone- ment. Mr Pepper said we could not expect any person to do the duties of the office for fifteen xteen hundred dollars a year. He thought y should either By the Mayor a fair sal- ary, or make the office honorary altogether He hoped the gentlemen would excuse him from voting on this question, as he was per- sunally interested. | Laughter. | The motion to postpone was not agreed to. Mr. Basey suggested a3 an amendment that no member of either Board should be eligible to the office of Mayor. {Laughter | Mr Pas expressed his decided opposi- tion to such an amendment. [Renewed mer- riment | Mr. Busey did not insist upon bis amend- ment, and the bill was 5 Mr. Smith, from the fire department com- mittee, reported a bill making an appropri tion to purchase five hundred feet of hose for the Perseverance Fire Company : passed. Mr. Smith presented a resolution a provin; of the petition to Congress of severa! bundre: citizens of Washington for the establishment of a house of refuge, and asking the earnest attention of Cougress to said petition. Mr. 5 stated that a petition, signed by at least six hundred persons, had Boon intro- duced in the Senate and referred to the Dis- trict Committee. He felt satisfied that we vould as easily get from Congress an appro- priation to erect such a building as to get the power to build it ourselves. The resolution was referred to the improve- ments committee. Mr. Pepper, from improvements committee, presented a bill authorizing a footway on the south side of K street north, between Sixteenth aud Seventeenth street west ry, from committee on unfinish- , presented a bill for the erection of ouse in the Seventh Ward, and ask- ed its reference to improvements comumittee, and it was so referred Mr. Pepper, from canal committee, reported back the bill making appropriation fur Wash- —_ Canal without amendment; laid over. r.

A Perition.—The mechanics and laborers employed at the Washington Navy Yard have made a forcible and pathetic appeal to Con- gress to place them on the same footing as to increased pay, as they (Congress) not lon; since placed nearly every other employee o the Government in this city. They urge, with great force, indeed, the severity of the past winter, and the gradual increase of the prices of all necessaries of life here, until it costs at least as much to exist in Washington as at any other point in the United States, not ex- cepting New Orleans. Some of the mechanics in the yard receive but $1 68 per diem, acom- pensation which they contend is not adequate to the support of their families here in these times. They are worthy men, in all respects quite as deserving of the bounty of the Gov- ernment in this matter as any class of those who have received it. A Leeton of the “friends of the horse” have called on Mr. Boynton, since reading his advertisement in the ‘‘Star,”’ and they ex- press themselves highly pleased with the in- vention. ‘The merciful man is merciful to his beast,’’ and this certain relief from the concussion which is the cause of ‘ Springing,” should be adopted in our city without delay. Let all who are interested in the noblest of brute animals call on Mr. Boynton, at the Na- tional, without delay. Mr. Deupsrep will undoubtedly be honored to night, by the attendance of the beauty, the | ec 19 JOHN WAGNER fashion, and the talent of metropolis, who are always attracted by the melodious tones of his BOARDING. skillfully cultiv: voice.
