LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.|,™ Desats 1’ THE Lowz® Boary.—The Ward ment to the Mr Edmonston {ntroduced a bill for « Icaning alleve and gutters in the Fourth Ward, night, which drew from several members remarks not very complimentary to Ward Commissioners. Mr. Orme spoke of the Commissioner of the Fourth Ward, and stated that he had been in- formed that the men employed ander that Com- missioner performed very little work ina for want of the Commissioner's attention. He also referred to the Commissioner of the Second Ward, and said that he visited frequently work in that Ward when the Commissioner should be present, and seldom or never met him there What was the use of making spprepaiations if the Commis- sioners did not attend to their duties. Mr. Jefferson thought the attack upon Mr. Owens came with bad grace from his colleague. The representatives of the Fourth Ward had ayked this appropriation ot $300 for the purpose ofenabling their commissioner to perform cer tain work. They had not complained of the commissioner; but, on the contrary, it was be- lieved that Mr. Owens was one of the best offi- cers that ever served in that Ward. ‘The ward fund of that Ward was rich, and certainly they were entitied to use it for the Ward improve- m s. If there were any charges let them be tn- vestigated, and the informer, who had not been named, brought forward to give in his evidence Mr. Orme said his informant was a ventleman of rexpectability. He was 4 contractor, and when be made his statement requested that his name should not be given Mr. Wallace was certainly of opinion that the commissioners did not attend to their duties. As an evidence, he wonld direct the attention of meiubers tothe condition of the pavements on the Where ladies could not damp weather without being splashed i i in the hollows. The attention of the commissioner bad been called to it, but the cause of complaint remained. Mr. Owens, in removing filth fromthe Fourth Ward, had de- posited it within thirty yards of his (Mr. W.'s) door. He bad spoken to him, but no attention wes paid. Mr. W. not only complained of the imissioners for these things alone, but for xtneral non-performare= of duty Mr. Edmonston said, in reply to Mr. Wallace, nat if ladies would wear short dresses on damp tid be less danger of splasbing He would inform members that the rep- Tesentatives of the Fourth Ward found no fault whatever with the commissioner; all they asked was for the Council to appropriate the means ont of the Fourth Ward fund to enable the commis- sioner to make the improvements zentlemen so mach desired. If the means are appropriated not properly used, then gentlemen might have better grounds te complain The bill was passed Mr. Jeff-rson introduced a bill to amend the t to provide for the registration of persons sub act Jeet to the sebool tax. {Phe amendment prohibits the Register from transferring the name of a person from one Ward or Precinet to another within thirty days of an anonal election ] Mr. J. explained that the object of the bill was fo prevent the practice of colonizing voters for the purpose of carrying an election. Mr. Hatebinson wanted to know if the object was to prevent hona fide citizens who remove from a Ward, witbin ibirty days of an election, from voting at all? ir. Setierson explained that persons removing within the time prescribed would be allowed to vote In the Wards from which they moved, and the bill would prevent the colonization which bid been practiced heretofore, and by which the actual voters of Wards were prevented from baving the representatives they desired Mr Mniloy ssid he would vote for the bill be- cause he wished to see the system of frand put down. If such a bill bad passed years ago, the Fifth Ward would have been properly represent- ed_in the last Councils Mr. Gordon hoped the bill would lie over till next Monday. as there were members who wished toexamine it. Por his part, he was in favor of any bill that would prevent fraud at elections; hut it appeared to him the amendment would act against voters moving with their families trom owe Ward to another, and he would like to exam- ine the charter in reference to that point In the matter of colonization, ali parties were guilty; and he thouzht the Democrats could beat the world at it Mr. Brown thongbt that the amendment was a good one, aud stould be adopted speedily. It deorived ne man of his vote in his proper dis- thet. Ifa person had been a resident of a ward eleven months and over, he had certainiya better right to he resistered there than in a ward where he bad iesided but six days, when the purity of election would be benefited by it. He kaew tuat ticetions in bis own ward bad been affected by colonization—especiaily in the election of tbe Kev. Mr. Evans. The vote was a dead tie in that wird, and the casting vote was given by coloni- ion. If the bill were passed much of this cel- ng would be prevented, as the parties were nuable te feed and liqnor voters for thirty days before the elestion The debate was farther continued by Messrs Folton, Hutchinson, Jetferson a Gordon, when Pin w Crimi yesterda: au Covrr —Afier our report closed the jury ia the case of William Wil- ted for assaultand battery apon Michae! in, with intent te kill, on the Ist day of last June, returned a verdict of guilty of an aggra- vated assault. but not guilty of the intent to kill Here Edward Swann, Esq , presented to the Court Robert G_ Thrift, who was admitted to practice at thi« Conrt The € up the case of the United adicted in three cases for larceny of carriage irow. ‘The jury found a ver- dict of not gality in each case Levi Stevenson was then arraigned for grand reeny to the extent of S10, the article staten being a silver watch valned as above.

A figbt occurred upon Cadey’s section of the Water Works, near Cabin John, on Sunday night, which resulted in the killing of one of the party,a young man, an Irishman by birth, named John Farady. It appears that an old grudge wes bai bored by some of the parties in the fight against an individual named Patrick Sullivan, one of the basses on the work. On the night in question, they met and got to drinking; a quarrel ensned, and Farady was struck on the bead with aclub by Sullivan, it is supposed, and instantly killed. An inquest was held over the body, but we have not been able to learn the verdict. Sullivan, we are informed. has fled Mr. Lynn’s —o hotel on High street was robbed last night ofc cumsilionsle suaoume of clothing and some fifteen to twenty dollars in money.

His intention, when Le left us the early part of last summer, was te spend a much tonger time abroad than he bes ; but the superiority of American associations over those abrosd soon rendered him anxious to return to his native sore, and to old Georgetown, the place of bis birth.
