In theexercise of the legal right conferred upon {ie Board of Aldermen by the charter of It2v, they have three times rejected the nominations now be- fore tbe board. The following is the provision of the charter referred to, viz: “He (the Mayor) shall nominate, and. with the consent of the Board of didermen. appoint *o all offiecs under the Corpora- hoa. (except commissioners of election,) and ma: ‘¢ any such officer from office at his will an jasure.

W hile the more careful examination of the char- ter to which [ have been drawn by the letter of the President has led me to a concurrence in his opin- ion that there is no authority, with or without his assent, ~‘ partially to close and obstruct any street hy the erection of a market-house thereon,” or for any other city purpose, | think it is eqnally clear that the “open spaces and squares of the city”? were, to use his languaze, ‘‘wisely reserved in the original plan of the city for the pur, of health, ventilation, ornament be Bites on,” and that they cannot be a at for any purpose such as the ordinance Bes tn view. .

Sir: T have received your favor of the 2d instant communicsting for my —— an ordinance o} the Corporation entitled «An act authorizing the erection of a market-house in the Seventh Ward,” on the 3uth of July last. The first s«ction of this act of ‘‘the Board of Aldermen aud Common Council of the city of Washingtou” appropriates the sum of eight thon- sand dollars * for the purpose of erecting a mar- ket-house at the intersection of Virgini: and D streetsvath, between Four.

The seventh section of the act confers upon the Corporation the power *-to open aud keep in repair Streets. avenues, lanes, alleys. ns. and sewers, agreeably to the plan of the city This does not confer upon them any authority partially to close and obstruct any by the erection of a market- house there Nor fs this much to be regretted. The exper of other cities has that such erections ta the public streets are very incon- venient. and they have im several instances been removed.

It is made the duty of the proper Ward Conumissioner iramediately to fte-assess the gas tax on all lots, in strict conform- ity to this section. Section 3 declares that only the number of front feet in a lot shall be calculated on such petitions as may be presented to the Mayor for the erection of lamps on any street.

From both of these it appears that the sot-disant Wm. Evans was really Mr. Josiah Gee. Lam told that the moth- er’s letter is written very well, but that the other evinces a marked want of education, and shows that the husband is of some humble and poorly paid pursuit. There is reason to think that Mr. Gee furnished his mother and sister with envelopes already su- perscribed, not only because the superscription differs materially from the letters in them, but the sister remarked that she had lost the address he farnished, but her mother had one, and the letter would be enclosed with hers; also, because, on comparison (asfam told by Mr. Gilsey) of the letter written to him from Cincinnati, before re- ferred to, with the superscription of the letter to Mr. Gee, E. Bro. & Co., there is a marked resem- blance. ‘On the occasion of the promenade at Palace Garden, the lady was requested, or volunteered, to put in her pocket several papers which the gen- tleman had too much exponed in his pocket, on account of the crowd.

The evidence showed that the oflicer was trying to quiet James Bleigh, John’s brother, who “wes drank near his own house, when John came out and asked permission to take his brother home. The drunken man then began to curse the officer, who thereupon threatened to take him to the watch-house. At this John Bleigh interfered, again saying it was his brother end he would take him tome if the officer would allow him.
