Referred to committee on finance. Also, a communication nominating Wm.-E. Hutchinson, Robert A. Bozzel, Peter M. Du- bantand John H. Sesstord for Fire Commis- sioners, and John J.

Also, a communication relative to the quota of this District, as follows: Mayor’s OFFice, April 25th, 1961. To the Board of Aldermen and Board of Common Councit—Gentlemen:—Transmitted with this are copies of the correspondence of this office, had with the War Departrhent in relation to the draft and the quota of troops to be furnished by the District of Columbia under the several calls of the President of the United States, for the suppression of the rebellion. As early and as far back as July 1662, the Councils of this city, patriotically appreciating the necessity to do so, and willing to assume, in common with the whole of the loyal part of the country, our city share of the burden and expense of putting down the rebellion, passed an act appropriating $50,000 ‘sin aid of the Bounty Fund to volunteers who might thereaiter enlist in the service of the United States in the city of Washington,” and as pro- vided for in tha bill, a committee was ap- pointed, and subsequently another act making an additional appropriation of $50,000 more. With a view to ascertain what, if any credit had been given to the District for the troops furnished by it, the Provost Marst:al General’s Office was addressed, and, as will be seen by reference to the letter of Capt. Maynudier, of the 18th August, 1463, no credit had been iyen becuuse “the records do not show at any particular quota had been assigned to the District of Columbia,” and the four regiments furnished by the District pre- viously to that time Were not considered as an excess over and ebove all former calls upon which credits are given. Again, in January last, another and more specific demand was made on the Adjutant eneral’s office, and credit claimed for the District of Columbia for the 3,400 men recrnit- ed for three months on the Istof July, 1861; for the 89S men recruited for the lat District cf Columbia regiment, the 9” men for the 2d District of Columbia regiment, the 128 men for the California regiment, the 125 men for the Maryland regiment, the 200 men for the 34 Pennsylvania cavalry. the 6) men for Capt. Thistleton’s independent company, and the 2,000 men for the two colored regiments of the District of Columbia, or of any other that may have volunteered or been enlisted from this District. On the 4th of February, a reply was had to this last commanication from the Provost Marshal General's office, stating “that the city of Washington would be duly credited wit! all men furnished up to the time of cemputing the draft.” Asshown by the muster rolls on file in the Adjutant General’s office, the number thus credited was 3,113 white and 1,661 colored troops, no credit being given for the 3,4(\) three mosths’ men. : It being apparent that the enrollment of this District was excessive, efforts were directed to- wards the reduction; and many communica- tions passed to and trom the War Department in Te! nce thereto, when it was discovered an error had been committed, in assigning by mistake to the District of Columbia the quota of one of the States in number nearly, 1f not quite, double of that it was entitled to furnish. Al- most immediately the mistake was rectified, and instead of this District’s quota under the calls of 1961 and 1462 being 6,777 as demanded, it was really only 2,742, leaving usin excess over and above the callsof Island 1562, of 2.935 men, and entitled to be credited in the calle of 1563 and 1861. By reterence to the letter of the Provost Marshal Generai of the lth of April, it will be seen that the quotaof this District under the calls of 1663 and 1963 18 5,95-; from which deduct the exeess furnished under calls of 1861 and 162, 2,335, the number of men fur- nished by the draft, 1,153, and the number fur- nished from the Ist of February to the 3ist of March, 1,910, leaves a remainder ef 530 men, subjected to be credited by veteran voiunteers not yet received, to be charged against this balance of 530 men. Ihave ascertained that the District is entitled to and will be credited with 115 veterans, 90) seamen and marines, and 150 men, the number recruited from the Ist to the 15th of April, in al] 355, reducing the demand upon us to the very small fraction of 172 men, which, it ts expecied, will, by other allowances claimed, be entirely absorbed, placing the District of Columbia in the proud position of haying an- swered all the demands made upon it for the suppression of the rebellion, with as muck alacrity and with lessexpense than any other portion of the Union. ‘Yo accomplish this it has cdst the corporation of Washington $100,000, the corporation of Georgetown $21,000, and the citizens ot these cities, tor voluntary contributions, $12,000. Great credit Is due to the committee for pro- curing volunteers in this city ander the late call of the President of the United States: the committee on the part ot the City Councils of Washington; the corporate authorities of Georgetown, and the Provost Marshal of the Enrolling Burean of the District of Columbia, Captain Henry A. Scheetz, for their assistance and unremitting efforts and endeavors in this behalf, as well as to the gentlemen composing the committee, who have raised by voluntary subscription 30,400, and expended the same in taking care of and providing for the families of volunteers of the District. Very respectfully, RICHARD WALLACH, Mayor. Mr. Brown moved to refer the resolution to the committee on finance. Mr. Utermeble did not see the necessity of so doing. He thought it would be just as well to lay the whole affair on the table, as there was no appropriation to be made and no future ac- tion was contemplated. Mr. Semmes said he desired to make an ex- planation, and he hoped it would be referred. It was finally referred to the committee on finance, and Mr. Semmes called Mr. Olephane to the chair and took the floor and proceeded toaddress the board, c Mr. Utermehle moved a reconsideration of the vote whereby the communication was referred to the finance committee, in order os a gentleman might have something to 8 i Par. Semmes animadverted upon the commu- nication, and complained thatthe Mayordesired the impression to go abroad that he had been instrumental in having ape quote. reduced and properly fixed. This (argued Mr. Semmes) was notso. The Mayor had not been energetic in the matter, but on the contrary hed allowed corres} dence with the military authorities to sleep in his desk. Mr. Semmes then gave an elaborate account of the interview of the committee appointed for that purpose with the President and Provost General, and Mr, S. claimed that he (Semmes) proponnded the question which elicited from Col. Fry the ly that the quota ae be fixed upon the basis of the census of Mr. Utermehle said he had made the motion to reconsider merely to give the gentleman (Mr. Semmes) an opportunity to speak. He was not aware that the gentleman was going tc array himself against Mayor; but since the latter find been arraigned he (Mr, U.) wanted to hear his explanation, and believed the Mayor couid set himself right. He would therefore insist upon his motion to reconsider, in order that it might lie over. . Semmes appealed to Mr. Utermehle to know if what he had stated as having occurred With the committee was not so t~ Mr. Utermeble said that the letters that had Telative to this matter were addressed to and answered by the yor.as Mayor, and Bot by or to the committee; and it was with the Mayor that the authorities had to deal in this matter. - Mr. Semmes stated that it would be remem- bered when the committee left the Président the Ma: roposed to defer the yisit to tl Provo M Matanal wa ne nextday Tals wis object yThembers ci after they renee to the Provost end left it, he (Mr. 'S.) appeaied to members of. commit toeny it | é ~-Roaeh; committee disc! pill Mr. Semmes eaidall did so except the Mayor. The Mayor claimed, however, the credit of the matter. If his ¢Semmes’) statements were not substantiated, he (S.), wonld renounce all clam to the, mayoralty and withdraw from the contest. Mr. Utermehle said as the matter had taken this shape he would jnsist upon his motion to reconsider, and let it lie over till next week, Mr. Semmes had no objection to that, and he ‘would like to have the Mayor upon the floor to defend himself. Mr, Utermeble eaid there wonld be no au- thority for that, but he was satisfied a satisfac- tory explanation ef the Mayor's actions could given. The subject was laid over one week. The bill makin sparopeieson for a school- house in the Thi ‘ard was taken up'u; a motion toreconsider the yote whereby it failed heretofore, and the motion to reconsider was lost by a vote of7 to 3. Mr. Brown introduced a joint resolution au- thorizing the printing of 500 copies of the Water Registrar's report, and it was passed. Tr. Clephane, from the committee on mar- kets, reported favorably upon the bill author- izing the sale of stands in the several markets, and it was passed. The bill making appropriation for the pur- chase of medals and premiums for the pupils of publicschools was reported upon favorably by Mr. Sargent, and it was pees. The Common Council bill to purchase fire apparatus tor the Western Hose Vompany was passed, The following from the Board of Common Gouncil were referred: Bill authorizing the erection of a new market house at the intersec- tion of South Carolina avenne.and E street south, between ith and 6th streets east; bill to repair the alley in square No. 451; joint resola- tion requesting the Trustees of Public Scliools to reconsider the vote whereby they adopted the rule'relative to dismissal and suspension; joint resolution in relation to Pennsylvania avenue; bill to increase the salaries of the mar- ket masters of the Eastern and Western mar- kets to $500; bill to set the curb-stones and pave the footway on the south ‘side of square No. 522; bill granting certain privileges to J.

Also, a communication from the Register of the city, in answer to a resolution of the Board in relation to the amount of fines collected by the several police officers from July Ist, 1563, to April 25th, 1864: ‘The First Ward returned.

The following were introduced and passed; By Mr. Barr—To grade and gravel alley in square 330. By Mr. N. D. ‘ner—To set curb and lay foot-pavement on the south front of square 522; granting permission to H. Harles- ton to extend certain parts of house 474 7th street. By Mr. M.

By Mr. McUathran—Bill increasing the salary of the clerk of the Eastern Market to #600 per annum, which was amended by in- serting $500 per year, and to include the clerk of the Western Market. Mr. Ferguson introduced a bill authorizing the pay of corporation laborers to be increased to $2 per day after the ist of May; the pay of horse, cart, and driver to $3 per day, and for every meohanic when employed $3 per day. Mr. N. D. Larner did not think the bill was required. The Mayor, under his discretionary power, bad raised the pay of the laborers to $1.75 per day, and for horse, cart, and driver $2.50 per day, the amount asked in behalf of ue laborers by the bill lately before the Coun- cus. . The question being shall the bill be rejected, it was decided in the negative. Mr. M. Larner said that, notwithstanding the introduction of the bill on the eve of an election, he was not to be deterred from voting againstit. Ifhis constituents were not satisfied with his course, he did notask any tavors. He was in favor of geving the Mayor discretionary power &s to pay of the laborers. bat he con- tended that the councils had no right to legis- late on the subject. The laborer was always worthy of his hire and could control his own pay. The gentleman had come here on the eye of an election with a bill by which to make capital r. Raub said the bill was a pretty plausible plan to gull the laboring man. Mr. Shedd opposed the bill on the princtpie that the councils had no right to pass it. He referred to the fact that many of the men on corporation work would not leave their work to work for contractors at an advance of 25 cents per day. The bill was read a third time and lost, not receiving a two-thirds vote: Yeas—Messrs. Barr, Canfield, Ellis, Fergu- son, Kelly, McCathran, Noyes, Ruff, and Lloyd (president)—10. ays—Meessrs. Follansbee, N. D. Larner, M. Larner, Raub, Shedd, Stephens and C. Wil- son—7. Mr. Ferguson gave notice that he would bring the bill up in next week. Mr. McCathran introduced a bill making an additional spproprteuen for whitewashing the Eastern Market, which was, after discussion, laid on the table. Mr. C. Wilson introduced a bill amending the act in relation to the sessions of the Council, which proposes to increase the pay of members to $250 per annum, and provides for deducting #5 from the pay of each member for absence from each meeting. Mr. Wilson stated that he wished those who are to become members of the boards to be treated a little better than he had been, and now, as he never expected or meant to come back to the beard, he thought it a proper time to offer the bill. He had served in tue board for five years, receiving $500, and he was a egretoes a cont mien eren $1,000. He thought that oy ig $200 per year tor the honor of the thing. 7 = ‘i Mr. Shedd moved that the amount be reduced 10.9200. Mr. Ferguson moyed to amend by providing that “except in cases of sickness” the fine be imposed; adopted. ‘he motion of Mr. Shedd was lost. ‘The bill on the third reading was lost, two- thirds not voting ‘. ‘Yeas— Messrs.
