Cronin and others, against his confirmation as police magistrate, Justice G. denies the alle- ee in the protest, that the city has been a joser to a large amount by reason of the dis- Miesal of cases wherein finesshould have been imposed. He says in imposing fines he «has been guided by 4 sense of justice and respect for the law, and not by the whims or malice of Officers having charge of cases; and he ‘defies proof of an omission to impose a fine in a proper case. Astothe statement that he has dismiseed cases of larceny and felony, where the evidence was plain and clear, he denies it Altegether, and defies proof of the charge ‘Bpe other charges are also denied. The communi- cation has appended to it the names of the most prominent members of the Washington bar, together with other prominent citizens, Who highly recommend Justice G. as an efficient and faithful magistrate. Referred. Mr. Lioyd, from committee on finance, re- ported back a bill for the encouragement of ‘yolunteer enlistments; passed.

Tae Government gives @ bounty of $100 for one year, $200 for two years, and $300 for three years. One-third of these several amounts are paid in cash. ‘This bounty is sufficient toindnce many men teenlist if they were urged todoso.

Mr. Larner moved to amend the resolution that the Committee ascertain if the Corpora- non bad this power, anda proviso was at- tached directing that the opinion of the Corpo- ration Attorney be first obtained. The resolution was adopted. Mr. Walker presented a petition for the grading and paying of alley in square 435; re- ferred. Mr. Larner (committee on improvements) reported bill for grading and paving alleys in Square 107; passed. Tr. Wilson (drainage committees) reported bill to ly a water main on 10th and B streets; referred to Bcard of Water Commissioners. Mr. Moore (school committee) reported bill making Sppropristion for the support of the public schools based on the estimates submit- ted by the Board of Trustees, which was on metion of Mr. Larner, amended by the inser- tion of & provieo that none of the appropria- tion shall be used other than the purpose for which it 1s appropriated or for the payment of ie officer not provided for by them. ‘he tax bill was received from the Alder- men, who refused torecede from their amend- ments, and asked for a committee of confer- ence, and on motion of Mr. Ferguson their re- uest was complied with. Messrs. Ferguson, Larner and Pettibone were appointed the com- mittee, Mr. Wilson, from a select committee report- ed a bill providing tor removing the remainsof Maj. Chas. L’ Enfant to within the limits of the city, and the erection of a memorial over them, appropriating #300 for the purpose. Mr. Edmonston asked if the chairman of the committee (Mr. Wilson) was certain that Major L‘Enfant was the original planner of the city. He had been informed that a Mr. Ellicott drew the plan of the city; that Major L’ Enfant bad been dismissed tor insolence to Gen. Washington. Mr. Larner stated that the Mayor had in- formed him that L’Enfant was the original planner of the city, and had shown him old documents to prove it. Mr. Edmonston wanted the honors to bs given to the proper person, and moved that the septate of the bill be postponed. Car- ried. Mr. Wright stated that there had been so much said abont the finances of the Corpora- tion, and the members were so often unin- formed, tbat he thought it necessary that some- thing should be done. He therefore offered a resolution directing the secretary to report to the board the gross amount of the appropria- tions of the 62d Council, and continue to re- port at each meeting. Mr. Larner moved to amend by inserting the name of the Register instead of the secretary, as it would be impossible for the latter officer to perform thatduty. Carried. Mr. Moore moved a further amendment that the ward and other appropriations be reported under appropriate heads. Adopted. The resolution was adopted. Mr. Wilson (drainage committee) reported bili to construct a sewer in square 1%). Passed. The following were received from the Al- dermen and referred :—To repair the bridge on H street, between Ist and North Capitol streets; to erect & horse rack at the Northern Market; to provide for the appointment of certain of- ficers of the Corporation—superintendent of fire alarm and police telegraph and operators. The general appropriation bill was taken up as the special order, and the appropriations were considered. The appropriations are mostly the same as made Jast year, with the exception of the following: Chief Engineer of the Fire Department, $1,2..0; three engineers, at $600 each, $1,500; four foremen, at #300 each, $2,410; four hostlers, at $400 each. $1,600; three firemen, at $100 each, 1,20; one tillerman, $400; twenty-four extra men, at $10) each, $2,400. Tbe appropriation tor publighing the laws, and tor two copies of the Intelligencer, was increased from $240 to $500. Daring the debate Mr. Edmonston asked where the money was to come from, and referred to the old police, who, he stated, collected almost one-third of the city’s revenue. We should have the coa- trol of the police now. Pending the consideration of the appropria- tion bill, which was laid over till the next meeting, Mr. Ferguson, from the committee of conference on the tax bill, reported that they had pot been able to agree, and the committee was discharged. Mr. Larner stated that the committee had offered tocompromise with the commiitee from the Aldermen on 70 cents, which they refused to accept. A new committee, composed of Mesers. Moore, Peugb, and Walker, was appointed. The resolution granting the use of certain reoms to the Washington Monument Society ‘was taken up, when Mr, Larner offered a sub- stitute, granting the use of the chamber to the Soeiet, Dir. Larner stated that the original resolu- tion had been laid over, to hear what the Mayor might have tesay on the subject. He caused to be read the following, trom the Mayor, on the subject: «“Sre: I directed that the rooms now occu- pied by the Washington National Monument Association be vacated, because the use of them was essential to the offices of this Corpo- ration. « Dr. Blake and Mr. Fendail called at the Mayor’s office and asked me if I would think it indelicate or a want of courtesy towards me if they should make an application to, the Councils tobe allowed to retain possession of them «] answered that I would take no exception to their so doing, but if allowed, the Councils would have to provide rooms for its offices out- eide of the City Hall.’ The reselution offered by Mr. Larner was adopted. The Chair appointed Mr. Larner the com- mittee on the improvement of Center Market, and Mesrrs. Moore and Peugh on the commit- tee to codify the laws. Mr. Wright (fire department committee) re- ported a bill to amend the law to organize the steam paid fire department. The bill is based on the recommendation of the Fire Commis- sioners, and provides for two hook and ladder companies, instead of one, and provides that chief engineers shall receive $1,000 per annum, engineers $800, foremen and tillermen $350, extramen $100; the paid members, except the toremen and extramen, to give their undivided attention to their duties. The bill was amended by providing asalary of $600 for the tillermen, who shall also give their undivided attention to their duties, and it was postponed till the next meeting. Mr. Moore, from the committee of conference on the tax bill, reported that they had agread on making the rate of taxation 70 cents on the hundred, instead of 75, as originally passed by the Board. The report of the committee was adopted. The other amendments of the Alder- men were concurred ia. Carried. RES ee PARADE OF THE QUARTERMASTER'S BriG- apg —On Saturday afternoon, the first parade of the Quartermaster’s Brigade, composed of the officers, clerks and employees of the Quar- termaster’s Department, took place south of the White House. There were two fall regiments, commanded by Cols. Elisha E.Oamp and U. H. Tompkins, besides a battalion of clerks of the Cuartermaster General’s Office, under command of Capt. J) J.
