To the Honorable the Senate and the Howse of Representatives tm Congress assembled : The undersigned, being largely interested as Property holders in Washington city, and deep concerned in its welfare, have observed, wit! mach regret, the effort of the cor ite author- itles to induce Congress ee the safe and wise provision of the charter which probibits the ‘ncrease of the debt of the city without the author- ity and sanction of the le. This salutary resteainton the powers of the Corporation was dictated by the prodigal course of the two boards of the Corporation. Previous to the adoption of this provision, very heavy debts had been con- tracted, im the wildest and. most unprofitable schemes. Congress had, shortly after the removal of the seat of Government to this city, chartered a cana! company, and the owners of the stock, finding it to be of Little value, obtained of the Corporation the passage of a law to purchase their canal at a cost of more than #50, Having thus acquired tue canal, the authorities then undertook to en large and complete it from the Potomac, at Seven- teenth street. to the Eastern Branch, which added to the city debt some $300.000. This canal not only caused this immense debt, without any com- parative retarn, but has required an annual out- lay of near $20,000. Other extravagant schemes might be alluded to, and this provision was enacted to secure the = holders from the creation of such debts. Zven this provision has been evaded, as the cor. Porate authoritics have disregarded it in the case of the Alexandria railroad, and have contracted adebt to the amount of some $60,000, to make that road. It is true that the road has been pledged as seenrity for the debt. but that will in all bility .all short of its payment. us the permanent debt has been increased, against the express words of the charter. This evasion Was accomplished under the false and fallacious pretext that the debt would be tem = as it would be chargeable to the general w {m order that this absurd reason may be ex- plained, it may be necessary to state that the revenue of the city is parceled out for the liqui- dation of all debts that are general in their nature. for public improvements, and such as are limited ty particular parts of the city designated as wards. W hatever can be construed into an improvement which will benefit the whole city, is to be paid outof the general fund, and not from the ward fond; still such improvements must be made within the city, by this general fund. Now, the Alexandria railroad was beyond the € ity. out of the jurisdiction of the Corporation. aud the pene. of the people could just as weil have been applied to build a road to the Pacific as this road. This case bas been put to illustrate the sity of the authorities to increase the city debt; for nota dollar of the Sec ace ohana tne ever n- eral fund. Had it been so paid, 1¢ would ja stopped all street and other improvements. Again: the Corporation bas, during the last year, issued stock to the amount of $159,000 for ~ separa ar fo he e of the Japanese Em! . rece! on tee ee eis yeicday at Willards” Hotel, filled seven large wayons, averaging four trunks or chests per man, some of them fifteen feet long, five feet high, and four feet high’! Many of them were rigged with poles across the top, so that they may be handily carried by porters. THE NEW YORE DELEGATION AND THE JAPANESE. At abont 8 p.m., the New Yoik delegation were introduced by Capt. Dupont. who stated the object of their visit, of which the Embassa- dors had already been informed. The Japanese Present were the three Embassadors and the four Officers next in rank. The delegation being introduced, the Chatr- man said : Your Excellencies :—We are appointed a 5pe- cial committee by the Mayor and commonalty of New York to invite you tocome and to accept the hospitality of the city. .New York is the me- tropolis. the largest city inthe Union. The de- Sire to see you and have your Embassy amongst us is Mig diye and we therefore request, that ou will be pleased to accept onr invitation, and inform us of the day when your arrival may be ex ‘The Embassadors replied that they were ex- tremely gratified at receiving the invitation of the city of New York, and that they accey it with a great deal of pleasure. They intended, as soon as their official business was disposed of, to communicate with Capt. Dupont en the sub- Jeet, so a8 to fix theday on which they would artive in New York. They further stated that their visit to that large city would be of great interest to them, and that they had some business matters to attend to on arriving there. After a personal introduction, shaking of hands, and mutual exchanges of cards, the delegation left the reception room. INCIDENTAL The Embassy are much astonished to learn that their expenses gre to be defrayed by the United Slates. They came all prepared to pay their way, and with ample fands to do so. This they regard as the ham est compliment they have received. ‘They express a reat desire to return home direct by sea, and not by the Isthmus They have a fancy for this voyage. this being the first Japanese voyage round the Horn. The Niagara will ac- cordingly probably be detained, and placed at their disposal One of the most singular features connected with the visitis the Treaties brought on by the Embassy, and the boxes which contain them. It will be recollected that the treaty made by the. United States Consul, Mr. Townsend Harris, was destroyed by fire—the ce at Yeddo, in which it was deposited, catching tire and burning down. The Japanese attach a sacred regard for treaties, and it was considered a very desirable object to have the President and the Department of State attach their signatures to two treaties which are fac-simile copies of the one destroyed. Each of these have been carefully inscribed upon parch- ment, and deposited in lacquered boxes richly inlaid with precious metals. There is another box which contains a letter from the Ty--oon (tem- poral Em to the President of the United States. These | es are all contained in one—the exterior of which shows the most brilliant polish we bave ever beheld. A heavy red morocco cov- ing protects it from injury.

The expense of a police establishment has lately been increased to the annual cost of over $25,000. ‘This has led to the incurring of a debt of some $14,400 to erect a watchhouse. New market-houses are to be added. and Congress is new thvoked to suffer a debt of 3200 000 to be added to thealready large debt of $1,031,502 14 (including the water debt) for a city market house on the avenue If you establish the precedent of disregarding this restriction, what security have the people against the increase of this debt? We have shown you how this debt has been increased, by degrees, even in defiance of the law, and you can tasily apprebend that asthe authorities contract these floating debts, nothing is left but to fund them, and thereby the debt is perpetuated. Is not the princ'ple, then, which requires the people to authorize a debt over $10,000 a wise one? W by distrust them? i is their interest = islate for. The taxes are now enormous. "Phe or: inary expenses have increased 40 cent.. and the people aré saddled with special taxes, that impese & most onerous burden onthem.

Upon the arrival of the party, he deemed it advisable to get it exchanged for coin more generally used in America, in which operation he added the sum of six thousand dollars premium tothe principal. The treasurer isa man of low stature, inclined to corpulency, and perbaps the jolliestof the entire party. Heisa great Eivorite with our naval officers, someofayhom have met bim previously tu Japan. The Japanese are certainly the most amiable and polite people on the face of the globe; the truth of this assertion will be quite apparent to all who mingle with them. Under the most provoking circumstances they have manifested uniform politeness and pa- tience, and the commandant of the Roanoke said that he would sqoner have seventy of them in his ship, than half the same number of any other na- tion. A Livery Trae.—It will be perceived from a notice in our advertising columns, that Dr. Wm B. Magruder will address the voters of the Seventh Ward, ou Tuesday evening next, at Island Hall. Dr. Magruder 1s really one of the most effective lar orators weever heard when fairly aroused; and as the policy of the present municipal adinin- istration. since its inauguration, has been to bring bis (Mayor Magruder’s) administration of the af- fairs of the Corporation of Washington into popn- lar odium by the promulgation of ali conceivable invidious statements and unfounded comparisons of its acts, it is to be Lphaggen ne that a sense of in- dignation at the efforts to bring his official con- dact into disrepute, referred to above, will cause him to ‘make the fur fiy’’ off those who have sought to build themselves up by pulling him down. cheerfully concur in that all who have the true interests of the « ity at heart will strive to prevent an increase of taxa. tion—Joln Wilson; William Wilson; Edmond Hanly; Jos.
