Mr. Lloyd introduced a bill to grade and gravel C street south, between Sixth and Sev- enth streets west; which was passed. The act to regulate and license livery stables was taken up as the special order. Mr. Morgan moved its consideration be fur- ther postponed. He did not understand the provisions of the bill. He was on the police committee, but the bill had never been submit- ted to him. Mr. Utermehle explained that he had re- ceived the bill, and ithad been impossible tor him to get his colleagues on the committee to- gether, ard he therefore as chairman ot the police committee had reported upon it favor- ubly- Mr. Morgan’s motion to postpone, prevailed by & vote of seven to tour, and on motion of Mr. Lloyd, the Secretary was ordered to pro- cure printed copies of the bill, to be distributed to members of the Board. The Fifth Ward delegation, to whom had been referred the bill to cause a gravel foot- walk to be made on the north side of E street north, between Third and Fourth streets east, and the bill to cause the pavement in the alley of reservation 12, to be repaired, reported severely, and they were read three times and assed. Lu Mr. Plant, from the committee on improve meuts, reported back the biil to trim and grav Tenih etreet west, from Pennsylvania avenue to New York avenue, with an amendment, ap- propriating $1685 instead of $1500, (axreeably to the Surveyor’s estimate) and it was read a third time and passed. Mr. Turton called up the bill (laid over in- formally at last meeting) to lay & water main along G street north, trom Twenty-fourth to Twenty-seventh streets west,und it was passed. Mr. Lewis, from the committee on health, reported back the bill to abate a nuisance in equare No. and it was passed. Mr. Turton introduced the following, which were read three times and passed, viz:—Bill to revive an act to trimand gravel Eirhtcenta street west, from E to H street north; bill to pay deficiency in the appropriation for repiur- ing the alley in square 105, and bili to pay the deficiency for trimming and gravelling Twe- tieth street west, from E to I’ streets norta. Mr. Sargent said he desired to enquire of the specinl committee on the Washington canal, Seber: progress, if any, had been made in clean- ing it. Mr. Pepper said he had a resolution to offer on the subject of the canal, and he therefore offered the following : Resolved, That the Mayor be and he is hereby authorized and requested to apply to the Gov- ernment, for the use of the canal for one or two dredging machines, for the purpose of cleaning cut the canal, He said he was in favor of digging out the canal,and if we could get the use of two dredges we could soon clean it. Mr. Plant said he had watched the opera- tion of Mr. Thomas’ plan, and he waa satistied be would clean out the canal much quicker and at 75 per cent. less costthan te dredges would. Mr. Pepper was giad to hear so favorable a Teport of progress, but he believed the plan ‘was almost too slow, and if we could get the dredges and dig up the dirt, Mr. Thomas’ ma- chine would carry it off the quicker. Mr. Turton stated that the best answer he could give was the report of the joint commit- tee relative to the matter, which he presented. The committee report the plan of Mr. Thomas in complete and succeestul operation. The position selected for the Jock was the west sidv of Twelfth street, and at the commencement of the work 344 feet of soft mud was found at that point. The work was begun on the 16th of June, a straight line of water-tight piles being driven across the entire canal. The work of dredging was accomplished by leaving out a few piles, through which the tide flowed ra- Ppidly, and the mud being raked to this opening was carried away, Aud a sufficient space for the opening of the gates was obtained. The work et serck ae the piles en a perfectly straight an evel line a tew origin’! bottom vf the caual (ose ey ht plished without either coflerdam or diving- bell, by an ingenious contrivanc» ot Mr. Thomas’ invention, an opening of 20 feet on each side of the canal being sawed out tore- ceive the round sill, which, after receiving the pivots for the gates was securely bolted down to the piles. ‘she gates are four in number— each fifteen feet in width and twelve inches in thiekness, and are of the most substantial and durable description. The oak timber for the work was procured from the forest with much difficulty. ‘The gates are considered by those wellinformed on the eubject the best of the kind in the country; the rabbited joints boing entirely a new feature in lock-gates. The ma- chinery tor holding these gates under eo great & pressure without the least appearance of strain or giving away, is not only ef zreat strength and simple, but entirely new in engi- neerig—the entire canal being thrown open at the same instant with the same promptuess and facility as the firing of a gun. The operation of the plan exactly fulfils Mr. Thomas’ pre- diction, as stated in his letter to the Councils, of February 19, 1563, that the tide every twelve hours would fill the canal with clean water, to be discharged in a muddy condition, carry- ing off the mud in solution, which, if repeated, Must not only remove all filth and sewerage, but decrease the deposit of mud—a recult that is apparent to all who have observed its oper- ation. The committee also report that a draw has been corstructed west of Third street, having a two-fold purpose of holding up the water to high water mark and the turning off of Tiber Creek (the great source of heavy deposits), and by turning this creek through the eastern and narrow portion of the canal, every rain tends to cleanse it. The operations of the work are very satisfactory. The marks at Tenth street indicate a reduction of the mud 6% inches, and at Fourteenth street, seven inches, The bars formed at the months of sewers have been reduced from 12 to i5 inches. The report is signed by Alderman Tarton and Councilman Barr. It was ordered to be printed with the pro- ceedings, and filed. Mr. Sargent said that report was satiafac- tory to him, and he could fet now vote for Mr. Pepper’s resolution, because he believed in Jetting Mr. Thomas have a full trial of his plan, as it appears to answer the desired pur- pose. Mr. Pepper agreed with the gentleman that the report was eminently satistactory, but he thought it a little too slow. If we pass the resolution we will get a dredging machine from the Government, and we can use it to advantage. Besides to borrow a thing from the Government confers a sort of second own- ership. [Laughter.] The resolution was referred to canals com- mittee. Mr. Gulick, from claims committee, asked the petition of John H. sion ot a fine. The following bills were received trom the Board of Common Council and reterred, viz: Bill ior the relief of Wm. Boyd, and bill to or- ganize a paid fire department. On motion of Mr. Utermeble, the act (laid over from last council) to provide for the bet- ter security of persons and property against violence and crime by & more general lighting ot the streets of the city, was taken ‘rom the files and referred to police committee. Adjourned, Common Council.—A communication was ceived trom John H. Semmes, Acting Mayor, announcing his approval of the following acts: To repuir alley in square 373; repair alley in square 425: to relay gutter and widen pave- ment on the south fronts of squares 451 and 516; to set curb and lay pavement on south front of equare south of square 562; to take up and relay gutter on east side of Seventh street west, between L and M streets north; to take up and relay gutter on east and west sides of Eighth street west, between I and K streets north; for improvement of Sixth street west, trom M to Houndary; to grade and grzvel Massachusetts avenue, between Thirteenth and Fourteenth streets; repair gutter west side of Fourth street east, at L street south; to lay flag footway across Twenty-second street, at north side of 1 street north, supplementary to an act to grade and gravel Fourteenth street; to relay gutter north side of M street.south, at Fourth sireet east; to cause footway to be paved and curb- stenes set om south front of equare 497; amend- ing an act to lay a water main in Twelfth street west, from I street to Massachusetts avenue. Also, @ communication from Andrew P. McKenna, Secretary of the Columbia Fire Company, inclosing resolutions adopted by that company, indorsing the action of the Board in passing the bill organizing a paid fire depart- ment; and tendering the use of their engine house for the housing of one of the engines. Reterred to the committee on the fire depart. ment. The special order—the report of the commit. tee on contingent expenses, on the fitting up of the Council Chamber, which is accompanied by a resolution authorizing the Mayor to de- mand of Mr. John Alexander the sum of $90.(22, the amount overcharged by him for the carpet- ing—was taken up, and Mr, Shepherd offered a substitute, requesting the Mayor to demand of Mr. Alexander the re- turn of such overcharge as he may be satisfied exists, and in case such demand is not comphed with, he is requested to institute suit against Mr. A. for such amount. Mr. M. Larner said the substitute would leaye it to the Mayor todetermine the amount, and if the amount was inserted he would vote for it Mr. Alexander admits that he had overcharged in a bill sent the committee, in which he gives credit for 23 yards overcharged, while the committee claim that 40 yards nus been overcharged. Atter the carpeting had been measured by Messrs. Cluss and Towles, who certified tkat 40 yards had been over- charged Mr. A. finds that he had charged for 23 yards not put down! Mr. Ferguson said that Mr. A. had sent him a corrected bill, in which he gives credit of 23 yards overcharged. He had been inforined that the former messenger of the Board had re- ceived eight or ten yards of the carpeting. Mr. M. Larner remarked that he nad spoken to the late messenger (Mr. Hutton) about the carpeting which Mr. Alexander had charged him with lating. and he (Mr. H.) said Mr. A. had givenitte him. The messenger was not the only one who received some of this curpet- ing. It was not enough for them to traduce his character in the board, but a person whose name had not Leen given him had been circa- lating a report that he was in arrears for taxes. Mr. Shepherd asked if that was true. Mr Larner.—No, sir. He was not in arrears. Mr. Shepherd.—They were not paid ten days ago. Mr. Larner said he had been a tax payer for over forty years, and when the gentteman (Mr. S.) has been paying taxes for that length of time he will PrOpaDly, be behind one yearsome- times. He would ask if, while the repairs were being made, the contractor was uot changed and papered walls substituted tor painted walls! The latter would cost $67 and the for- d cost $167. : mates she herd replied that, in conjunction with the Mayor, he had selected paper for the og an Larner said thatthe Bpyos ne express i as oO} ed to papering the a. 2 at LORY oe the gentieman to talk of his ing in arrears for taxes. bere ‘Ferguson explained that he had had a conversation with Mr, Alexander in relation to his giving the t to Mr. Hutton, and he denied it, and said that if Hutton had the car- st have taken it without his consent. pet he mu: Mr. Shepherd sajd if Mr. Alexander had overcharged for the work he would demand that he refund such amount. He suggested ee , praying the remis- that Mr. Larner had a son in the carpet busi- hess, who was present when the work was measured, which was in bad taste. He read trom the Star’s reports of July Qist, 28th, August 4th and ith, which reports would be admitted as good authority to show what had been the course of the gentleman from .the Fourth ward. In regard to the charge that the upholsterer had not finished the work because he had not paper enongh, he would say that he had had enough or eet but that some of it hed been stolen, and be was obliged to go to New York and have paper of the same pattern Tanufactured to finish, and that the room was now finished. In regard to the expenditures tur the war meeting he explained that he had ) othing to do with them, the committee having the expenditure of the money. The gentleman had first made a statement that there was only 156 yards of carpeting on the floor, and now pene: simmered down to $90.02 worth of car- ing. He denied that he had made an: charge against Mr. Larner for being in arrears for taxes. Mr. Alexander had said that it came with bad grace from Mr. Larner to make charges against him, when he (Mr. L.) had not paid his taxes, and he (Mr. S.) thought it ws in bad taste for a disfraachised voter to make anch chargoe ‘ “3 Larner.—Who isa aisfranchised voter, sn Mr. Shepherd.—You were, sir; for yanr tawae Were not paid, and you had no right to vote. He charged Mr. Larner with demagogueism and hypocrisy. Mr. Larner said that it could not be said of him that he ever went into a caucus with his iriends and aiterwards bolted the nomination. He charged upon Mr. Shepherd that he desert ed his friends who he helped to nominate, and did not even vote for them, but on the contrary contributed money to defeat them. Talk to him of bonor, when he was prepared to prove that the gentleman had offered a bribe to a gen- ‘leman in the Capitol to get » job of plumbing! Cries of “order,” and “object to personal- ities.” Mr. Shepherd called for the name of his author. 3 Mr. Larner.—Mr. Jennings is the name of my author. r. Shepherd asked that the reperters male @ note of it. Mr. Wilson here asked for the enforcement of the five minute rule. Mr. Larner continued—* Talk to him about dishonor. He never went on a witness stand and swore to a bill when the juary—” Mr. Stevens.—“ I hope, Mr. President, that nO personalities will be allowed, and that the discuesion be confined to the question.” Mr. Shepherd denied that he had given mo- ney to defeat the Richards ticket, and asserted that he was true to Mr. Richards from first to last, from metives of personal fnendship. He did not vote because he was not properiy istered. In regard to the c! of bribery, would ask gentlemen before forming an opin- ion ‘0 inquire into the character of the auther of the charge, Mr. Jennings. The gentleman (Mr. L.) would have an opportunity to testity lo these charges before a court of justice. Mr. Larner—+i am ready.” Mr. Shedd eaid athird had been it in—the late Messenger, r. Hutton, charged with stealing, and an opportunity should be offered for investigation. Phese per- sonal charges are disgraceful to the Board. He moved ito recommit the matter. Mr. Larner denied that he had initiated the | personalities, and accused Mr. Shepherd of holaing secret meetings in his house to defeat the party nominees he had agreed to support. Mr. Shepherd denied the ee Mr. Ellis moved to amend Mr. Shedd’s mo- | tion, and refer the subject to the committee on claims, which was accepted by Mr. Shedd. Mr. Raub defended Mr. Alexander. Mr. N. D. Larner favored a recommittal. He knew that Mr. Hutton had been unjustly as- sailed, and he would like him to testify before the committee. Under operation of the previous question the subject was referred to the committee om claims by a vote of 14 to 6. The following were introduced and referred: De Me Dank Dill doqeede emdgrerel O ctreet from Fourteenth to Fifteenth streets; and reso- lution authorizing the Mayor to employ an ad- ditional policeman; to prevent persons from thiowing garbage, ke., on square 230, on C and Fitteenth streets.
