LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. Desatt on tae Fine Deragtmest Bin — Mr Wallace. after presenting the bill conferring certain powers ou the Mayor, in the Council on Monday night, said that he thought it his duty to cull the attention of the Board to recent publica- tions, which he thought required to be noticed For some weeks past be had seen in the iocal col- umas of @ paper called ‘* The States”? continuous libet, slander and abuse of the Corporation and its officers; that, too, in a paper professing to be Dem-_ ecratic, looking for ‘mocratic party support, and yet continually libeling the party. Mr W then referred to the political antecedents of the gentleman at the head of the local column of the *- States" as having been at various times con- nected with the Whig, Native American, and Abolition interests, and now he professed to be Demerratic. but he conceived him to be so warped by Know Nothingism timt this was im- sible. Wassuch a m.n to libel and vilify the mocratic party and slander the name of Wash- ington? Mr. W. then read from the * States” of Monday the following in the local column: “The city of Washington was on Saturday night the seenc of riot, bloodshed, and pillage. Hundreds of armed ruffians held possession of the streets. and fire-arms were heard in various quarters. It i« difficult to lear the particular deeds of the night, or the persons by whom they were enacted ; for the ruffians operate in clans, and these clans are protected and fostered in their organized capacity by the city Corporation itself.”’ Mr. Wallace asked if ven were willing to admit that snch was the fact? Was not the statement a libel, and false. Mr. W. read further from the ** States"’ the aceount of the attack on Halleck’s restaurant, and said a similar statement appeared also in the other Paper (Star.) He pro- nounced the statement untrue, and proceeded to state the occurrences as follows: One man only entered the house and raised the fuss; the inmates all left except the ba: keeper, who jumped on the connter and offered a defence, but was pushed off by the intrader and fell down the scuttle, b whieh bewasinjared. ‘The assailant then helped Limself to the liquors and rs, as Halleck stated; but there was no crowd as stat®d. But the local editor of the ‘States’? must mention the States Hose; the name stuck in the editor's craw, it was hard to divest’) He (Mr. W.) bad Mr Harbeegh end others as authority for the truth of Lis statemmeut. and their integrity could not be doubted. Phe local editor ix continually “down on” the Guards and police, assailing them at all times Mr. Wallace called attention to the articles on the police in the local columns of the * States,’ and ieferred to the reports of the Guard, and es- pecially the last mont ay report, as a refutation. he thought that the police of this city had done mere in proportion to numbers than any police force in the country. He ealled attention to the population, the arrangement ot the city, the vast- hess of it< area, and the small number of the guards and police. Mr. W. then referred to various ar- ticles in the “ States,’ and said such foolish statements were s! upon the name of Wash- ington, and injurio: tending to defame the ebaracter of the city abroad. Mr. W. proceeded to evpisin the ,and hoped that the powers would be immediatety conferred, as prempt ac- tion wes necessary. He boned the bill would pass that night Mr. Lieyd did not think the remarks of the gentleman (Mr. Wallace) required a reply; they bore their refutation om their face. He’ knew nothing of the antecedents of the persons referred to, bat as acitizen he was under obligation te the “States” paper. it cannot be doubted that there is mob domination here in this city, and it required the formation of Vigilance Cominittees to put down rowdyisiz. The police cannot p @ tect the citizens. and it is now necessary for citi- zens to defend themselves. This is no time to defend States Hose or Northern Liberties, but all should put their shoulders to the wheel to break up riet and disorder. As to the States Hose, were the offseourings, driven from a neigh. city, and they now appear in Heaven's fiv- ery toserve the Devil. Were they invited here? “ews organized for a pure purpose? G MEN —Pursnent to adj. ourament =the’ Board met at 4 o'clock on yesterday, to take up the order-of the previous n: ght which hed been post- Poned, viz: A bill to organize the Fire Depait- t of the City of Washington. : t. Moore, from asylum committee, on leave, reported back a bill Lape ag 4 Siew in the app iation for the is Poor, ani in- firm, for the fiscal year ending June 36tl with the amendmeut of the rd of Common Council to the same, and recommended that this Board concur in that Iment. M it the bill be referred r. baek tothe Comma to inquire into the ex) diency of the additional appropriation sw; inthe bill. He wished to see a detailed ~ ment of the affairs of the asylum before leavin, the = which «was a very important one Fj Passe The amendment was concurred in and the bill passed ax amended. Mr. Miller, from improvements committee, re- pours back the ag bape communication, enclos- ing a re; of the Surveyor in relation to the gut- ters on G street north between Twelfth znd Four- teenth sts., and requested that the comunittee be discharged ; ordered. On motion of Mir. Miller, the Board then took up the bill to organize the fire department; which Was read and amended in sections, with slight discussion; all of the members suggesting amend- Meuts, which were adopted without much va- Tiance of opinion as to the changes pi 2 he Board was busily occapied up to 9 o’clock P. m., when the multitudinous erasures, prefixes, changes of phraseology, substitutes, amendments to substitutes, amendments to amendments. etc, ete., which were given rise to by the reading Were all harmoniously decided upon, and then the bill came up on its third ing, and was defeated by a vote of ayes 6, noes 7. Thus ‘‘the mountain labored and brought forth @ mouse.”* Previous to the vote being taken, Mr. Dove made some remarks on the inconsistencies which the bill, in his opinion, contained. He conteaded that it assumed powers which the Cor} ration had no right to assume, and would Teall to pre- cisely the same results which were in existence at the present time among the various companies e eg the fire depar tment—namely, a bitter alry between two branches of the fire depart- ment. The acts of Congress regulating the fire department could not be overstepped by any act of the Corporation. They had no Tight to as- sume to take into their possession Property which had been granted by act of Congress to the fire department of the city of Wash ington. It was absurd to suppose chat the Mayor had any power to disband any fire company. The Corporation had power to regulate, but not to prohibit. The acts of Congress vive the companies power to make their own by-laws, and, though the Mayor might, by act of the Corporation, be vested with dice to close up enyine-houses, still he could ave no power to disband them except by special actof Congress, which has enacteda separate an distinct law for the government of the fire partment, and the Co-poration Councils bad no sort of tight or power to interfere with those acts of Congress. Mr. Dove thought the only effec- tual way of organizing the fie department was to obtain from Congress the power to vest the whole authority in the bands of the Corporation. Itcould be done in no other way, for Congress had by their own act clearly absolute power to create or disband fire companies at pleasure. After the bill had been rejected, Mr. Miller, who was the chairman of the committee who had framed the bill, stated that he had no object in its inception but the wood of the corporation ; he had consulted with the oldest firemen {n the cit upon the sebject of the bill, and the only fault that bad been found with it was, by some, that it was, if anything, too stringent. [He cared nothing for the rejection of the bill, but was sur- prised to see members who had displayed so much anxiety to do something for the reorganiza- ion of the present system come up to the Board and occupy a whole evening in discussing a bill of this importance. and then after having amend- ed it and perfected it in all its paits, togo to work cooily and vote it down. He bad endeavored to do his duty, and felt that he had, in bringing the bill before the Board, consulted the best Interests of the Corporation and the fire department. Ou motion of Mr. Houston, the Hoard ad jo: to meet on Wednesday afternoon at 4 o’cluck. Wallace. Yes. rt _L. referred to the riot at Halleck’s, and said Mr. Halleca told him that numerous persons eutered the house at one time, and he wzs in- formed by two persons who knew the members of the States flose that that party were some of them. Mr. I. spoke of his impartiality, and re- feired to his opposition to the Independent Hose members of his own party, on the same #rou he new opposed the States Hose. He said he knew them, and thought it true that the Plug Uglies had driven them from Baltimore for fear they would disgrace the name of that city. No member can say the States Hose is not a disgrace to the eity ; and if the Mayor did his duty he would send the police to th-ir house, take the apparatus, and brewk up the organization. He referred to J. F. Carter, one of the special police. He was connected with the killing cf a wood- sawyer. The appointment of such men would inerease disorder. He had no objection to confer the power if the Mayor would break up the or- ganization. If-not, remove it to the Fifth Ward, and near the residence of Mr. Wallace. Mr. Wallace I considered the articles slanders. He didn’t care for States Hose or any other com- pany—if they behave well, sustain them; if not. — bem. Where are the fires and riots now? 2 the Northern Liberties. And what party com- mits those acts?

There is a band of rutfians here. He doesn't know who they are; bnt they ought to be broken up. Mr. Jefferson felt like Paddy, on seven sides at once Had noticed the statements referred to in The States. and thouvht them greatly exagyera- ted; but didu’t think it was from malignant feel- ing at heart. If the gentleman from the Fifth Ward (Mr. Wallace) bad as much todo with the press as he himself had, he would think differ- ently. The morals of the ity have not im- proved; but mrch of the fault was with parents, who did not take care to keep their children from. whisky. firearms. &c. He thought the strictures of the paper had done more harm than good; bat was glad to see the opposite party go for im- provement. He had been satirized ty the person complained of, on account of his police bill, Which was lost. He would say that Mr. Con- nolly told Lim he was opposed to Know Noth- ingism at Towers’ election. Alr. Poulton defended the local editor of the States. Where was the proof of the charge that he had publixhed false statements? The bill stows that the riots did exist. He trusted no rains would be spared to allay excitement. Mr. denied that the rioters are raised in our city. Mr. Clark said that so fa: as the question was persoual he had nothing tosay. As to the pub- Heation in the States of tue article about “ foster- ing these clans’? it is true in the sense it is used by the paper If the annual appropriations were stopped it would be different.

A Move tx tHe Risur Direction —W hatever differences of opinion may have existed as to the character and purposes of the ‘‘States Hose” or- ganization there can be none as to the commend- able spirit shown by its members in yielding Promptly and gracefully to expressed public opinion. By the subjoined letter from its President, it wil! be seen that the organization has disbanded, and surrendered their apparatus to the Mayor. Will their example be lost upon kindred organi- zations? Wasttxctox, November 3, 1857. To the Hon. Wm. B. Magruder, Mayor of Washington. §. Sim: The undersigned, in behalf of and by di- rection of the organization known as the “States Hose Company”? hereby tespectially inform you that the company known as above has disbanded and tender to you for safe keeping the hose and hose carriaye hevetofore in their possession. The company wishes itto be understood that, in taking this step, its members are impelled solely bya desire to disabuse the public mind of certain erroneous impressions which artfull wicked and designing persons have impressed upon it. We associated ourselves for no other vee than the public good ; and as the public ave been made, to a considerable extent, to be- lieve that we are outlaws, we are impressed with the cenvietion that we are, in a great measure, stripped of our means of usefulness, and we are not willing longer to be held responsible for other men’s lawlessness A large majority of us are natives of Washingtog, and for this reason we are deeply interested in its prosperity as well as its fair fame; and, while we are willing to lend our labor and risk our lives to promote these, and while we have done this fora time under every obloquy which could be heaped upon us, we can- not longer occupy # position which enables per- sous a without interest in the city, and anxious to bring it into disgrace, to east their mis- deeds on our shoulders. The company here, in the most distinct and emphatic manner, states that it has been charged with many acts of riot and lawlessness with which neither the mass nor any portion its mem- bers had any connection or knowledge. Very respectfully, B. F. Beverrver, President of the States Hose Company. Tux Specia Commirrex of the two Boards of the City Council, which had been ordered bya joint resolution of Mr. Dove which passed the two Boards on last Monday night, met thJs morn- ing at 10 o’cloek, at the office of the Gas Light Company, to discuss aud preparea report (to pre- sent to the two Boards for united action thereon) on the best plan of preserving the peace an order of the city he committee consists of Messrs.
