a aaa aaa EVENING STAR. “LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. ap or Atperwen.—The Board was Prseys order about the usual time, the Pres- jdent, Mr. Clark, in the chair. ‘A communication was received from the Mayor transmitting @ report of the I tor of the Fire Apparatus for the month of March, which wac referred to fire department's com mittee. Also, one transmitting accounts of Ward apotheearies; which was referred to health committee. Also, an invitation from the Commissioners of the Washington Asylum to visit the Asylum on Friday, April 11th, at 4o’clock, p. m., which invitation was accept- ed by the Board. y ” . Council bill for trimming and grading M street north, between Twenty-fourth and Twenty-sixth street west, was taken up and assed. Council bill making appropriation for re- psiring breakage in canal wall near Twelfth street, was referred to canal committee. The joint resolution from the lower Board asking power from Congress to issue stock to erect the Centre Market building was taken up Mr. Houston moved to make it the special order for Monday night two weeks. Mr. Pepper hoped it would be taken up at once. The matter had been in band already some four or five years, the Corporation was now in good credit, and the present market was a disgrace to the city. Mr. Bayly hoped it would lay over for two wee! would like to have the financial condition of the city laid before the Board; he hoped the chairman of the finance committee would report the indebtedness of the city to the Board. ‘ r Mr. Pepper said he ¢aw something sticking out like opposition. There was ne assessment required, the stock was to be based solely on the income of the market house {Mr. Marks here asked to be excused for the remainder of the evening, and some ex- citement and amusement was created amongst the members on its being stated that he was called away to marry a loving couple | Mr Busey favored a postponement of the resolution. He would vote for a market-house in Centre market space, but he was opposed to this resolution, and would not vote for it until he could get fuller details. There were no details given of the size or of the number of stalls. He would offer a resolution that the finance committee be instructed to ascer- tain the cost of erecting market, the number of butcher and vegetable stalls, &c., &c. Mr. Emery said the plan in the Mayor's of- fico gave all the estimates. Mr. Pepper said the objection came with a very bad grace from the gentleman from the Fifth Ward; the market house for that ward was voted without opposition. For his part he would not undertake to bring the figures here and explain them as if to school boys. If we were were to have opposition of this sort he believed there was an end of the pro- jt. Mc Houston expressed his opposition to the reference to the | ae committee. Every member of the Board knew that he was ut- terly opposed to saddling the city with a heavy debt. Scphisticate the matter as much as you please, the tax must ultimately come upon the property holdersof the city. Mr Menrasec was entirely indifferent whe- ther it was referred or laidover. He thought approximate estimates should be given. The present revenue of twelve thousand dollars a year would certainly be sunk The large revenue anticipated in the report of the lower Board was pesaiential upon the immense sums of money realized in the Northern cities by the markets. By the showing of the commit- tee, the ground floor of the proposed market was larger than the city would need for many years, and we could only rent at high rates when there wasclose competition. But why go to Corgress? There was nothing in the charter requiring us to go to Congress for wer. Atthe North the monopoly of the arge markets was found so insupportable that private markets were being established. He purposed to vote for a Centre market build- ing but wanted information if this building was not larger than the needsof thecity. He should vote for reference. Mr. Pepper replied with warmth. He thought it strange that gentlemen should bave just found out the advantages of store markets. They were very careful tosay noth- ing about this when they wanted appropria- tions for thetr own markets. At the time the bill was up for the First Ward market he had proposed an amendment making an appro- tiation of ten thousand dollars for Centre arket, then gentlemen had asked him not to embarrass their bill with the »mendment and they would vote for a Centre Market building. Mr. Dove, in reply, said he would vote now for an appropriation of ten thousand dollars ; but here an appropriation was asked of quar- ter of a million of dollars. Mr. Houston expressed his belief that in twenty-five years there would not be a public market in thecountry. Thecity of Brooklyn, with& population of two hundred thousand, had not. and would not have, a public mar- ket. There was now a proposition befure the Councils of New York city, which was advyo- cated by Mayor Wood, to do away with Wash- ington Market in thatcity. The people above Canal street, in New York, with property worth at least fifty millions of dollars, had no public market, and would as seon think of going to China as to go to Fulton or Washing- ton markets. If youcharge a butcharthirty, forty, or fifty dollars for the rent of a stall, the citizen has to pay that rent at last. Mr. Pepper, in answer, inquired who it was but the consumer that paid the rent of the store markets? Do away with public markets, and where were the countrymen to go with their produce? Why to the store markets; and by establishing these you establish a set of huekster stalls. Mr Smith expressed his surprise at the tendency of the debate. He would like to tee this matter brought up and acted upon without any of these clogs with which it was Bow attempted to embarrass it. The plan was in the Mayor’s office, where it pres be examined without trouble. It was evident that the object of the pro; reference was for delay. He mentioned the disgraceful ap- pearance the present Centre arket pre- sented—especially on Sunday—and of the humber of miserable little stails upon wheels which had accumulated in front of the mar- ket The result had been, in every part of the city where new market-houses had been built, that the neighborhood had been im- proved. Build a Centre Market worthy of the city, and we should have stores built in the vicinity to correspond. The question being taken the matter was laid over for two weeks; and the question of igahy proposed by Mr. Busey was carried. ouncil bill paying Jesse Williams for dam- age done to horse by breaking through one of the canal bridges was referred to claims com- mittee, _ The joint resolution from the Common Coun- cil in relation to the Long Bridge (and which we published last week) was taken up. r sey thought some words in the pre- amble should be stricken out. Mr Smith did not see the necessity of Striking out the preamble The indignation of the community should be set forth, and Georgetown should be made to feel that we know our rights, “and knowing dare main- tain them.’’ The bridge was of incalculable Value tothe city It had been estimated that one hundred loads of wood a day had come over the long bridge during the late inclement seazon He knew the langzage was strong Ut just Mr. Busey knew that the Mayor and people of Georgetown had made strenuous efforts, but he did not think they had been actuated by “tnister motives but were simply carrying out ‘heir own interests. The Georgetown commit- tee and Mayor were high minded, honorable wen. ‘ Sinister’ was a synonyme of “cor- Tupt,” and we could not aceuse them of cor- ruption in carrying out the views of their con- stituents Mr. Pepper had no doubt they were honor- able men; but were we to sit here supinely and not express our indignation, because, for- *ooth, they were ‘- honorable men ?”” The question was further debated by Messrs. r “pper, Pearson, and Miller, until the Board lowes process; and in conjunction with the Sg Board proceeded to the election of po- ice magistrate for the Sixth Ward Poe wtion of Mr Clark, Mr. Clements took chair Mr Magruder and Mr. Ruff were *prointed tellers. '. Ruff nominated S. Jeflsrson nominated John S. Briggs, and Mr. D, Brandt. The ballot being taken, Mr. Briggs was an- nounced to have ed 19 votes, and Mr. Brandt 8. Barn = was accordingly annotinced duly elected. The Long Bri juestion was taken up again, and after pote debate the preamble was stricken out Mr. Pearson offered a substitute, which was —— r. Busey offered a resolution in relation to remeval of night soil of tne Seventh Ward; whieh was adopted rc Mr. Smith offered a resolution in relation to the order of business of the board, which was cay og ok lati Je of poisonous d: je bill regula sale ol us drugs was aera te a t committee, and the petition of V Harbaugh and others was refer- red to the same committee Mr. Pepper, from canal committee, reported back without amendment, the bill providing for the building of dumping machines for the canal, which was passed. A resolution in relation to privies, presented by Mr. Miller, was adopted. Mr. Pearson, from claims committee, pre- sented a bill for the relief of John W. Stevens, which was lost. The board then adjourned. Tae Wasuincton Aquepucr.—Inthe House of Representatives, yesterday, the following resolution was offered by the Hon. Mr Prin- gle, of New York, and adopted : Resolved, That the Secretary of War be requested to report to Congress, at the earliest day practicable, a statement in detail of the plan which has been va for the W ashing- ton aqueduct for supplying the city wit! water, showin, 1st.

One man was mixed in them, but they principally were females. Those cases-kept the Justice confined in his office a long time. Two lawyers were engaged, and they managed to bring out evidence of a nature that caused an occasional blush or broad grin among the large crowd assembled in the office. The justice disposed of them generally accor- ding to law. Courr or Craims.—Yesterday, Francis C. Treadwell, Esq , of New York city, was ad- mitted to practice as an attorney of this court.
