When he and others who “take on so’’ about that ore cent imposition—a very grievous one, probably— will reduce the price of horse flesh, horse feed, labor, drivers’ wages, and coaches, 163 cents on the dollar, Mr. Vanderwerken, we presume, will gladly reduce the fare for a ride from the Capitol te High street, Georgetown, in the same a bat is, from 6 to 5 cente. Now, it strikes us as the best possible way to gE tid of having to pay a penny more than t. Vanderwerken's rate, is, for those who wont” stand the “ gouge” complacently, to be sure to keep about them a dime, or a half dime and a copper penvy: Isn’t it easy? But to our correspondent’s complaint : Mr Editor: read your notice—in fact, I read all the reading matter of the Star—a few days ago in regard to omnibus drivers taking seven cents for fare when a quarter is given returning for change cnly eighteen cents. I read the notice with considerable interest, in asmuch as I have been one of the sufferers by this new system of “‘ garroting ’ Havin considerable business between the Capito! an Departmonts above Fifteenth street, I ride in these public conveyances as often as three or five times per day, and I don't know that I have ever gotten more than eighteen cents change out of a quarter in the last aix months. Now, I wish it distinctly understood that I don’t ta! bout this matter for the intrinsic value of the coin : itis the principle involved, wh I contend, is a bad one I undertook yesterday (Saturday) to follow your advice, and demanded my cent, which the driver refused, and [ leftthe "bus I got even with them, however, for when I went down, on my return, I only gave them five cents, Now, Mr. Editor, the 1 bave in mak- iog this communication, is, to make a sugges- tion to Mr. Vanderwerken, who, if I am ena- bled to judge from his well known goodness of heart, will teke itkindly I suggest that he give orders instanter to his drivers, and n to the public through the Star, that th hereafter will be five cents, (half dime ) which is the Uxited States coin ; we have no coin in America of the denomination of six cert’. This will save money to the passengers, increase it te Vanderwerken by the increase of travel, @ave time to the busses, and save trouble to the driversin making change. Let us hear from you. friend Vanderwerken. Wasuinxerox, March 15. Pusuic Goon. Aw Ivposine Punnrat —Yesterday after- noon, the reméins of James Fletcher (eolored) were followed through Pennsylvania aveaue to the grave by one of the largest funerals that taken place in Washington for a long time. The procession was h d bythe order of Good Samaritans, a benevolent society of the colored people here, of which the de- ceased was a member. They wore regalia, of course, for fondness for such things is a characteristic of the race. We have rarely known a person more highly esteemed th: n the deceased was, fr he was proverbially trutbfal, honest, respectful and faithfal in all bis relations in life; setting an excellent ex- ample to the colored among us, and thus fairly earning the warm regard of hundreds of our most intelligent, respectab'e aud public spirit- ed citizens Such is the key to the lar, ¢ lored funersl seen yesterday: nm Pennsylyaria avenue, which must bave somewhat surprised more or Jess of the host of northern men now here who have formed conclusivns coneerning the condition of the negro in slave holding com- munities, from the spouting of the Be eaers and scribblin zs of the Stowes of the land.

New Musicat Society —A meeting vas beld last evening, at the rooms of Professor Irvin, Temperance Hall, and s hew musical society organized. Washington city, although containing a fair share of musical talent. which will compare favorably with that of other cities, is at the present time far behind the age in regard to societies for the cultiva- tion of vocal music The new organisation has been named the “‘ Harmonic,"’ and, under the able direction of Prof. Irvin will no doubt be s source of pleasure, combined with in- struction, to our musically-inclined citizens. Next Thursday evenirg is fixed upon for their first regular meeting, when we bope to see a fuil attendance Wavea’s Irauia =v received this morn- come green cards, bearing these m: po bese esses and ‘nothing arin db * “Pass the bearer to Rome.”’ After al! sorts of a search and enquiry, we learn that the aforesaid pea-green tickets in trojucethe fesrer ts the beautiful series of joturer, eptitied “Waughs Italia,” now ex- ibiting at Odd Fellows’ Hall.

Law. rence expired last night. He has long been known in this community, and those who have had much intercourse with him will unani- mously accord to him the character of great abilitygand Jearning in his manuers and integ- rity and indef: le industry in his prac- — — have bose him in social ave acknowledged ted his de- portment as a gentleman ; Armee beyond all these, he has for years the higher virtues of a Christian. “*In the loss of such a man the whole com- munity suffers. The church of which he was ® member pas lost one of their highest orna- ments and xealous friends. The loss to his bereaved and afilicted family is beyond esti- mation. “The death of Mr. Lawrence may be called sudden. This day week he was present in this court and argued a case. On his return to his residence he was seized with a chill, which, after assuming the form of a cold, ended in pneumonia—a disease which has proved fatal te many eminent in our profession. Mr Law- Tence’s death was like his life, tle and be- coming @ sunk to the mighty conqueror without a groan and without a struggle, as mildly as an infant sinking to slumber on its mother's breast. “I move that the court, ass testimony of its respect to the memory of our deceased brother, do now adjourn for the day; where. upon, the court adjourned to 11 o’clock to- morrow morning.” At a meeting of the bar immediately after the adjournment of the court, the Hon John A Rockwell was called to the chair, and Sam- uel H Huntington was chosen Secretary, On motion of B. B French, +, it was re- solved that a committee of three be appointed to Lg resolutions, and report them to this meeting, Hon. M. Blair, United States Solicitor of the Court of Claims, R.S Coxe, Esq , and B. B French, Esq , were appointed. The committee retired, and soon returned and reported the following resolutions ; which were unanimously adop’ed : Resolved, That this bar has heard, with deep sensibility, of the sudden decease of their re- spected associate ard brother, Alexander H. Lawrence, » @M attorney of this court. Resolved, That we cherish the highest re- spect for the professional learning of the de- ceased, for the purity and uprightness of his professional life, for the amiable and ex- cellent qualities which belonged to him as a man and a Christian Resolved, That to testify thee sert’ments, we will attend the funeral of the deceased in @ body, and will wear the ysual baige of mourning for thirty days 3 Resolved, That Mr. Blair, the Solicitor of the United States inthis court, do move the court that these resolutions be entered upon the minutes of their proceedings Jous A Rocewetu, Chairman.

Unirep Srares Pouice Reronrs.—Before Justice Donn: Thomas White, colored, who gave bonds for farther examination under a charge of having attempted to take a watch from John Chenor, was dismissed, there not being a shadow of charge against him sfter a hearing of the case. it appears from the evidence that the defend- ant and prosecuting witnesses are rivals in the barbering business, frequent difficulties cecur- ting between them, one of which occurred on the 4th instant, they coming in c! roximi- ty the watch chain became entangled in the clothing of the defendant Hence the charge, with the results as aforesaid White sustains a good character. Giberson and Bradley, jr., for defence Thcmas Bell, colored, was arrested ty Offi- cer Parham under the charge of committing an assault and battery on a fellow servant— Eliza Jackson, colored—bonded for peace. James Clagett and George W. Gaines, col- ored, were arrested by Officers Norwood and H.8 Ward of the auxiliary guard, under the charge of stealing a silver watch from W. Bowie, (also colored.) In default of security they were both committed to jail.

The stench trap at the corner Operates to prevent the noxious odors from es caping into the street. Similar traps strike u as being required throughout the house, so that, with the required alterations in its sew-' erage, the noxious odors may be forced to take the channel prepared for them—the main sewer into the cana!—instead of rising up in the premises to scatter disease broad- coast.
