Mr. Gordon offered the following resolution, and asked that it be put on its passage: 2 Resolred, That a joint committee be appoint. ed, consixting of members of each board, to- grther with — citizens, to urge before Congress | the propriety of abolishing the Roard of Police Commissioners and request Congres to ap- propriate the one hundred thonsand dollars to the treasury of this city, to enable the covern- ment of the corporation to more effectually carry out the several police law= and preserve the healthtul condition of the Caplial of the Nation. . Mr. Ranb was not ready to vote on so impor- tant & measure, and moved to refer it to the po- lice committee; carried—yeas 7, nays ‘Ths following were read a third pass.d:— A bill to pay R. M. Downer work done on the fifth precinet police station: bill appropriating 2100 to grade and gravel D street, from First street to New Jersey avenue; resolution anthorizing the Mayor to remove tue bell from the Central Guardhouse to the Bletropolitan Hook and Ladder honse, for use ae a fire bell; bill appropriating #135 to pay for erecting ® fence around a new school-house in the fourth distri bill to relay flag tootwa on S' thstreet across Louisiata avenne, pf on D street actors Sixth street; bill for relief of of G us Kapler. « Mr. Morgan off+red the followiag, which was each Board with the Mayor, be =ppointed to represent to roper authorities the damage done by the military to individual preperty, and request their interference to prevent the same Mr. Wilson offered a conentrent resolution, requesting the committee before Congress to u upon that body the propricty of repealing — of the charter which welate to ward in Is. Mr. Gordon objected to the passage of the resotution, on the ground that it would b+ dangerous to the interests of the city. Some wards which had but litle or no inoney to their credit were favorable to the measure: but it would work detrimental to those which have an amount to their credit. The resolution was then passed. Mr. Utermehie, from the committee of con- ference on the billin relation to the appoint- ment of commis-ioners of improvement, made 4 report, recommending the appointment of one from each Ward, at a salary of 8600, instead ot three at $500 and one at $700; which was atopied. . The following bills were referred: To grade streets; to pave the south front of sqnare 55% authorizing J G. Thompson to erect a frame building adjeining a brick building: remiiti fine iapored on James W. Garner. “ Mr. Morgan moved to reconsider the yote by which the board refused toconcur in the Alder- men’s amendment to the bill for opening South Cupitol street from N to 8 streets; % ir. Lioyd presented the petition of Morris Heyman. Mr. Ellis stated as the bill for opening South Capitol street had been passed, that it may be that parties had priop rights in the premlcen, and it would be well toguard agaist any cases of this sort. He therefore offered a bill repeal- ing all acts granting exclusive privileges to persons to open South Capito} street from N street to the Eastern Branch, Mr.. Wilson stated that parties may bave vested rights in the mutter, and moved that the bill be referred; carried. The resolutions tendering 4 vote of thanks to Gen. McClellan, and autborizing the purchase of his portrait, were en up. Mr. Wilson was in favor of the resolution, Sud hoped thet it would pass. Such things had been done before, s6 in case of the New York 7th regiment, which was presented with a etand of colors by the city in reciation of mou hour of peril. je did not see why we should »ot do the same thing now. He could not ree why any one should object. Mr. Gordon opposed the resolution. He thought the res@unon was out of place. Mr, Knight stated that he was no man wef- me but was an adnrirer of military genius; and, as Winfield Scptt was his man, he coved to insert his name in Place of that of McUlellan; Jost. Yea, Me. Knight; nays 16. Mr. Utermehble fwas now satisfied that his resolution would meet with ill favor; and be- tore it w2* contizned to oblivion, which he an- ticipated, re must spesk in its defense. It was NOt AN inopportune measure; for they, he thought, were representing & large constituency who were una us in fayorof MeViellan, He called on them, when casting & vote on it, firet to put their bands on the preamble and say | whether or not the facts were not correct, and then efy whether the syaall appropriation was not as little as should be rea ey ag for such A purpose. He knew not why Gen.
