GEORGETOWN Councils, Feb. 5.—Board of Aldermen.—An ordinance levying & tax for the year 1561 was received from the Board of Com- mon Council. It levies a direct tax of 70 cents Upon every $100, and an additional tax of 5 per cent. on $100 for Metropolitan railroad deb , and an additional 15 cents for gas tax; all to be assessed upon the real and personal estate as valued upon the books of the Corporation. The t:xation for the benetit of public schools is the same as last year, viz: 10 cents out of the gen- ersitsx of 70 cents. This makes the general and special taxes 90 cents on the $100; being an increase of 5 cents on the taxation of last year. {he ordinance passed. Mr. Beall introduced a resolution allowing the Tax Collector 4 per cent. for collecting the general and special tax for 1564. This ts an imerease of one per cent. over the amoun- allowed last year. It was passed. Mr. Beall also introduced an ordinance to Pay honnties far volnnteere [The aedinunca authorizes the payment of a bounty of $10) to each man who shall volunteeer between now and the Ist of March, as soon as he shall be mustered into the U. S. service; the amount to be paid by the Clerk of the Corporation upon the order of the Mayor. Said enlistments are to be put down to the quota of the town. The sum of $1,000 is appropriated, and the Mayor is authorized to issue stock of the Corporation in sums of $100, to be numbered from one-up, and said issve of stock not to exceed $20,00\, and the same to be sold at not lessthan par; saic stock to bear per cent. interest per an- num, payable quarterly. It is made the duty of the Clerk, on Jaly ist, 1565, and annualiv thereafter, to redeem $1,000 of said stock, uatil the whole amount is redeemed, which, with the interest, shall be paid out of the genera! fund. Each year, and one month before the day of redeeming, all the numbers shall be placed together, and ten of them shall be drawn, and those holding the drawa numoers shall be notified that the interest will cease av the expiration of the current guarter, at which time the principal will be paid. The ordi- nance also repeals the resolution providing tor paying members of the Boards of Aldermen an d Common Gouselis The ordinance was laid over under the rnies, although Mr. Beall strove earnestly to have it passed, as the time for its operation was short. He thought Georgetown should do something to show its appreciation of the efforts of Gov- ernment to suppress the rebellion. This he thought the best way to make all contribute, for all would be taxed. This course, too, would touch those in our midst who sympathized with the rebellion, and who would not etherwis: contribute to the cause of the Government. The opposition to the immediate passage of the ordinance was on accoant of the largo amount appropriated: and the opinion was expressed that it would not secure many voi- ubteers, as people would risk their chances im the draft. On motion, Mr. Wm. H. Edes was app & member of the committee to represe ed the | interests of the Corporation before Congress 1 the matter of altering the channel of the Pu- tomac. | A resolution te pay W. L.

He said there are charges of a serious nature resting against Sergeant New- mar, which he hoped would be entirely cleared up, and hoped the message would be post- poned till Friday next. Mr. Marbury hoped that action would be taken to-night, and claimed for this Corpora- tion the right to ask of the commissioners the continuance of Mr. Newman. The discussion was continued by Messrs. Clements and English in favor of passing the resolution, and denouncing the charges against Sergeant Newman as retaliatory, and the Mayor’s opposition the result of a personal matter between the Sergeant aud the Mayor. The commissioners have hunted him for two years, trying to force him to resign. Finding he would not resign, they have succeeded in removing him from town. officers reported by Sergeant Newman for neglect of duty have noted down in a book every appa- Tent dereliction on the part of Sergeant N. and reported to a certain individual. essrs.
