Covncit PRocrrpines, Nov. 2— Board of Al- dermen.—The Chair (Mr. Semmes) laid before the bcard-a communication from the Mayor an- noun¢ing the approval of the act to pave the cayriage-way ou the south side of Northern Market, and the act for the extension of a sewer Qt the intereection of 4th street east and Penp- sylvania avenue. Al-o, a communication transmitting the re- Ports of the ward apothecaries for the quarter ending Sept. 3r, 1863; referred. Mr. Utermehle presented the petition of John Burnside for permission to erect a irame build- ing adjoining a brick one, and that of Michael O'Brien and others for compensation, both of which were referred. > The special order—the confirmation of Mr. F..R. rsett a8 commissioner of the First ‘Ward—was then taken up, and Mr. Turton said he hoped members would know what they Were voting for before they confirmed this nom- ination. Has. T.) charged that Mr. Dorsett bad employed his son unnecessarily to superin. tend certain improvements, and had thereby ut the Firet Ward to unnecessary expense. is (Mr. D.’s) son had been put down as ala. borer, and had received pay for jabor never performed. He had been employed as an as- ristant to superintend squads of five and six ncn, when the commissioner and assistantcom- missioners of the-ward were fully competent to attent tothat work. The ward had thus been invoived in an expenditure of $150. He (Mr. T.) desired the bonrdto understand that the confirmation of Mr. D. was not desired bya majority ot the residents of the ward Upon the ballots being counted, the nomina- tion was confirmed by a vote of 7 to 5. Mr. Pepper, trom the conimiltee on im; ments, reported favoraply upon the fol bills, which were passed, viz: Bill to lay a flag fcoiway in the First ward, at the intersec- tion of 2ith street west and E street south; joint Teeolution of instruction to the committee to Fepreeent the interests of the tign before Congress; a bill to take up and relay. the gutter on I street north, between 19th and 20th west; bill to reduce the grade of Massachusetts ave. nue; bill to take up and relay the gatter‘on B street north, between 2d-and 3d streets west; and bill for the relief of Patrick Calianan. Mr. Turtop, from the same committee, re- Ported the bill to trim and gravel H atreet north, irom ith to 2ist street west, and the bill to supply a deficiency to grade and gravel F street north, from 19th to 2ist street west; both of whi.b were passed. Mr. Lloyd presented the petition of Wm. R. Porter, asking & remission of a fine; which was referred. From the committee on finance, Mr. Lloyd Teported favorably upon the bill for the repair, furnishing and lighting station-houses occupied by the Metropolitan Police; (amended by Mr. Utermehle to require that fuel shall be tar- nished by contract:) and the bill for the relief of Elias Davis; both of which were passed. Mr. Utermehle, trom the committee on Police, Spories adversely upon the nomination of Mr. -,D. Eliwood, as wood measurer of the Sec- ond District. Mr. Clephane desired to know the reason why the committee reported adversely upon the nomination. Mr. Utermehle explained that the majority ot the committee reperted adversely because complaints of a serious character had been made against ithe nominee. Mr. John Dixon, & wood dealer, bad made an affidavit to the effect that Mr. Ellwood had, in his official ca- pacity, acted in a very ungentlemanly manner, und had required (contrary to custom) the seller of wood to pay the charges of measure- ment. Mr. Clephane defended Mr. Ellwood, and read a statement from a number of wood deal- ers of the city, testifyimg to Mr. Ellwood’s et- ficiency. The Mavor had nominated Mr. E. on ACCOUNT OF MIS EMCIENCYs UUiwithstanding he was oppozed to him in politics. Mr. Utermehle was sorry the word politics had been used in connection with the nomina- tion. He disavowed having any feeling in the matter further than to do what he believed jsstice demanded. Mr. Plant spoke against Mr. Ell wood’s nom- ipation,..Hewas totally unfit for the office. opposed Mr. Ellwood on poliucat grounas, ne (Mr. P.) branded as a talsehood. He opposed Mr. E. because-he was not the proper man for the place, and did not do his duty. , The vote was then taken on the nomination, and it was defeated by a vote of nine to four. The committee of police was discharged from the further consideration of the petition of U. H. H.

N2. 3,333 Mr. Sargent said he had no doubt but that the system adopted in Paris, for remedying this evil; was a goodone; buthe questioned whether in a free country like ours, we could introduce & police system which would be effective. He was not, however, prepared to deny bnt that if the move could be Properly carried out it Would. be beneficial, Mr. Clephane thonght something should be done im this matter, but he thought the object could be attained: without using the word li- cense, and saaeeeied that the resolution shouid be fo amended as to Tequest Congress to grant aulboniy simply to regulate these places. Mr. fermeble thought a system which Would te beneficial conld be adopted. In ‘aris these houses were under astrict surveil- lance. Each housé and each Occupant was known to the police; and all Prostitutes had to undergo rigid physical examination, and there- by the spread of diserse was prevented. He believed this wasa subject of reformation, and that it was as much the duty of Councils to Save there poor devils as to legislate upon any other subject. Mr. Licya argucu uri ule aacpuon of the rerolution would be simply a form of legalizing vice, and it would not by any means abate the évit. He instanced the cases of the laws re- quiring all retailers of liquors to take out a icense: but that law was violated daily. « Mr. Pepper, (sotto voce.)—« Oh, the gentle. man is out of order. He has gone over to the whisky hops.” Mr. Lieyd continued, and argued that the Proposition would fail before Congress. He Was sensible of the condition of the city in this respect, and it was certainly a source of regret; but he believed the great evil was caused by the tremendous. influx of soldiers and strangers, and when this war was over things would settle down again to thetr original status, and the city would be in a great measure relieved Presence of these vile creatures, There was nothing more revolting to the religious sentiment of the community than the ides of realizing money out of this class of degraded creatures. In Paris there is a regular system of prostitution, and what are called lorattes and grisettes engage in it, and high and low countenance tre evil—— Mx. Gordon.—«« Such is the case here.” Mr. Lloyd continued: In Japan, also, there is a regular system of prostitution—— Mr. Pepper.—«So there is in Turkey.” and I have understood that sare licenzed, wherein women serve & regular apprenticeship to the business, and after that apprenticeship were eagerly sought alter as wives, Mr. Lioyd asked if it was desirable to estab- lich euch a system here. Mr. Pepper argued that new-comers and not the kuown citizens of Washington were the principal parties who controlled these houses. ew-comers had in many instances made it 1 business. A man Tespectable in dress and ap- pearance would rent a house in a respectable portion of the city, and the first thing the neigh. bors knew there was a bawdy-house. Mr. Turton suggested that this question was a very unpleasant one, and he called the at- tention of the board to the fact that the Teport- els were taking extended notes. Mr. Pepper.— Then the less said upon the subject the better.” Mr. Gordon moved to lay the resolution on the table, and argued that its adoption was al- together unnecessary; tor if the thing was to be abated the better class of citizens could take hold of the matter and could frown down these establishments. Mr. Utermehie held that the g00d citizens could not do it. Legislation was necessary. It was not the good citizens who went to hese places, but blackguards and rowdics.

RS es ane = : should be discharged, as he cowia sre uv usc- grace attached to the wearing of a badge by the hackmen, as they kad asserted it was. Hackmen had often taken advantage of stran- gers, snd if they were compelled to wear a badge the number of the badge would identify the man, and the impositions often practiced would be prevented. In all other cities the hackmen were required to weara distinctive badge. r. Lloyd argued that the prayer of the pe- tileners ought to be granted. We had no more right to make these hackmen (many of whem were respectable men and large proper- ty holders) wear a badge designating their calling than they had to make those following any other occupation wear a distinctive badge. He (Mr. Lioyd) considered the law one of ty- rappy and very degrading in its nature, Mr. Utermehle argued that many other peo- ple engaged in other business wore badges, and did Bot comslees Ue by any means degrading. le instanced ice. ba Lloyd held thee the cases of the police and hackmen were by nomeans similar. The former wore the badges of their own volition. The papi were bal Sevag in @ calling indepen- t of the Corporation. an r. Sargent argued against the prayer of the e & mark of degradation.

The rate of compensation should therefore be the same. “If the pay of the able-bodied men is to be fixed by the standard of current Prices, or what it is wor'h, (for I take the cunent Price of labor to mean neither more nor less than it is worth,) I can ree po reason why the pay for the horse and cart should not be fixed by the same standard—its real value—especialiy as your bill provides the horse and cart be driven by an “able-bodied man.” Suppose the current price of labor for able men should reach the price fixed by this bill as the pay tor horse and cart driver by an able- bodied man, does any one believe that this Cor- poration could get the horse and cart and able- bedied man to drive for that price? And if,on the other band, the current price of labor for an able-bodied man become less, the value of the horse and cart driven by an able-bodied man would likewise diminish. My objections to this bill are, therefore, that the two kinds of labor required for the work of this Ccrpcration are equally necessary and es- sential, and mentally dependent, withouteither ot which the work cannot be done.

Knight introduced a joint resolution of request to the Commissioner of Public Build. ings, to exempt the show cases of phot 7 ers and ambrotypists from the provietong, if the order tor the removal of obstructions froin jet Ay ‘in ue. f T. Knight explained that the Commissioner had issted an order which would clear the ay- enue:of: ce. and he it that it wou! be a hardship on the photogra; ahiambro- tynista_ to cause them to remove. their sUOW. cases, which were of an ornamental character. Mr. Stevens was opposed to making fish of one and flesh of another. He did not think that any should be exempted. ir. Shedd expressed the same views. “The avenue was becoming so lumbered up that ina short time atall man would not beableto walk. Mr. Raub could not see @ny harm in the show-casrs. They were out aven with the trees, and were not in the way. Mr. McOathran did dot think an: committee Woula have much weight with Commis- sioner. Mr. Knight withdrew the resolution. Mr. N. i Larner re; from theimprove- ments committee the bill to reduce the’, ade of Massachusetts avenue, in the Fourth 5 which was passed, as was also the bill reporssd by Mr. Ellis from the fire department commit- tee to purchase 400 feet of hose for the Columbia Fire Company. Pei Mesers: C. Wilson, Barr and M. Larner wete appointed a committee of conference on the bill to equalize the salaries of certain employees, and Messrs, Knight, Shepherd and Ellis on the bill for the erection of a school-house in the First District. The special order—the bill Ad mya the in- terests of the corporation in suit of the Washington and Alexandria Railroad Oom- pany ys. the Corporation—was taken mp, and Mr. M Larner expressed himself as opposed to the bill in its present form. We have a Cot- poration Attorney, who is patd 4 salary for at- lending to the mterests of the corporation, but he had expressed &n opinion adverse to the claim of the corporation. Why he was tobe paid a fee he was at a loss to understand. He ‘would prefer that if additional counsel be em- ployed, to strike out the Corporation Attorney and substitute'the name ot "Robert J. Brent, of Baltimore; as the Corporatien Attorney, it was understood, had expressed an opinion adverse tothe claim of the corporation. It appeared that Mr. Bradley did-not Propose to take any me in the conduct of the case before the cour's. ‘he Mayor, deeming it necessary that the in- terests of the corporation should be defended, had already engaged one competent counsel— Mr. Davidge. Mr. Noyes sa:d he did not understand that Mr. Bradiey declined to give his aid in the con- duct of the suit, but as it was a case involving much labor, he had suggested that additional counsel beemployed. The compensation (3500 per year) allowed to the Corporation Attorney would not remunerate a legal practitioner of standing for the labor involved in carrying on eases of this magnitade. Mr. Shepherd said his preterence was Henry Winter Davis, of Baltimore, but le taought the Corporation Attorney should give his attention to the case. He suggested that the Mayor be allowed to employ counsel. Mr. Shedd thought that we a 2B Mr. BradPYoPaddiional councel. Mr. C. Wilson moved to strike out the laét twa lines of the. bill, which-will allow the Mayor to employ any counsel. r. Shepherd moved to insert a proviso that ‘no partof the money be paid to the Corpora- tion Attorney.” Mr. Noyes thought that this would be dis- courteous. After some further discussion, Mr. Shepherd withdrew his amendment. fete A The eee manent ona troduce Potomac water into the new-usoin~ house in the Fifth Ward was passed. Adjourned.
