The Chair taid before the board mm uni- cation from the Mayor, annownc: the appro- enact act au ocizing the Mayor to an- ie revenue for the purpose of ‘in, bounties to volunteers Le wgked Also, a communication from the or, nominating A.B.

Also, a communication from J. F. Kennard inviting the members of the Boards to pepect the new telegraph this afternon at 2 o’clock. The report of the Intendant of the Asylam for pextember, ‘was referred to the committee on asylum. The following were introduced and referred: By Mr. Piant—Petition of E. L. Morrison for repair of gutter on the east side of 12th street west. yy Mr. Gulick—Petition of Martin King. Tho following were introduced and passed: By Mr. Lewie—Bill for the relief of Wm. Nei- eer; bill to pave F street north, between 5thand 14th streets west. By Mr. Noyes—Bill to set curbstones aiid lay foot-pavement on the north side of Square No. 537, Virginia avenue, be- tween 3d and 4% streets west. [This was ac- companied by a petition from the property holders.) By Mr. Utermehle—Bill to repair the entrance of public alleys on the south front of Square No. 453, north front of Square No. 454, and north front of Square No. 452 By Mr. Barr—Bill to repair the canal bridges and for otper expenses. By Mr. Turton—Bill to take up and relay the gutter on the north side of H street north, from 15th street west to Ver- mont avenue. The special order—the bill to prevent the overcrowding of street passenger cars—was taken oe \Mr. Noyes thought the bill would be inopera- ‘ve because impracticable to carry out, and be- cause the railroad com; y, receiving its pow- ers from charter by Congress, could snap its fingers at{any such legislation by the City Coun- cils. He was in favor of forcing the company to put on a sufficient number of cars to keep up to the schedule time required by their Charters bat that was about all the Councils could do in the matter. Even if practicable, a summary enact- ment that no poecn shall ride on a car unless seated, would incommode the public rather than serve it, especially business people, anx- ious to avail themselves of the first car passing, and indifferent whether seated or not. Mr. Plant did not see how it would be pos- sible for a conductor to prevent persons from getting on acar. He was sure that when he ‘was in a hurry he should always be disposed to jamp on & car even it was crowded. r. Utermehle argued that it was the duty of the conductor to only take aboard such a number as he could comfortably seat. Ifacar would contain a dozen passengers the con- ductor should admit that many and no more. If twelve persons get in car and are com- fortably seated, twelve more have no right toget in and crowd them ontof theirseats. The compen, were making large profits, and ought to a lic. Ma: tent ford ample accommodations for the pub- Mr. Plant thought the people had theremedy in their own hands, which was not to get ina crowded car. Mr. Gulick said it strack him that it did not matter whether we passed this pillornot. Peo- gion a hurry would get upon the car, and he iid not believe it could prevented. He doubted that the company was making much money now. that the expenses of the road was doubled and the fare limited to fivecents. The Tailroad was certainly a great improvement upon the previous mode of travel. r. Lioyd was not certain that the measure ‘would be cticable, but thought something should be e. He, however, would urge his amendment, allo those who chose to ride upon the piatiorm to doeo. On the 7th street lune the schedule time had been five minutes, and latterly they have been running on ten minutes’ time, and consequently it was utterly impossible for ali who desired to travel to get seats. ‘The bill was finally rejected by the following vote: Yeas—Meesre, Lioyd and Utermehle. Nays—Messrs. Barr, Canfield, Gulick, Lew- is, Morgan, Noyes, Plant and Turton. A communication was received from Mr. David Hepburn, Commissioner of the Canal, relative to the condition of the canal, and an- nouncing the necessity of certain appropria- tions for expenditures. Referred. Mr. Lioyd, from committee on finance, re- pared back & substitute for the supplementary ill of the lower Board, authorizing the Mayor to anticipate the revenue for the pu of paying bounties to volunteers, The substitate rovides for the payment of bounties only to ona fide citizens ot Washington, who HL have been assessed prior to last December, and who are not pecuni able to procure sub- stitutes; the money to expended at the dis- cretion of the Mayor. Mr. Canfield moved to stirke out that part limiting the benefits of the act to those not bpagerenyad able to procure substitutes. He ught it would operate against men of small means. A man, for instance, who been saving, and had accumulated enough to pur- chase & house, say worth $1,500, was hardly able, on account of having that property, to procure & substitute for himself. Mr. Lloyd thought some such guard should be thrown about the bill. He believed there were wealthy men here who would not hesi- tate to avail themselves of the benefit of the act. He was opposed to allowing the wealthy to share in this matter. He believed the fand was safe in the hands of the Mayor, who ‘would see that the needy did not suffer, for a more charitable, kind-! fed man than the Mayor was seldom found. r. Oanfield withdrew his amendment, and the bill passed. Mr. Turton, from drainage committee, re- ported back the bill to lay a water main in H street, along th Carolina avenue to ilth ‘Street east, and the bill to lay mains along 17th street west, from H street north to Pennsyl- yania avenue; both of which passed. The police committee was jarged from the further consideration of the petition or D. M. Lawrence; and Mr. Utermeble reported back the bill in relation to licenses, with an amendment striking out the 4th section, and it passed as amended. ‘The bill to tax billiard tables, &c., was re- turned from the Board of Common Council, with the Aldermen’s amendments non-con- curred in, The Board insisted upon its amend- ments and asked 4 committee of colference, and Messrs. Utermehle, Barr and Lloyd were ap- inted the committee on the part of this Bills from the Board of Common Gouncil ‘Were disposed of as follows: Bill making ap- propriation to supply deficiency for the im- rovement of the gutters in square No. 166. ferred to First Ward De! nm.

Bradley, Esq., Corporation Attorney, was laid before the Board. The opinion is as follows : Asbury Lleyd, Esq, President Board of Com- mon Council :—Sir: The only fact stated in the Teport of the committee on elections against the eligibility of Messrs. Marche and Dadley is the fact that their names do not ap: on the tax books of the Corporation. In case of Mr. Dudley, it seems to be conceded that he was interested as heirinan undivided real estate, assessed on the books of the Corpora- tion in the name of his dfather. If this be so, he was assessed on books of the Corpo- ration within the meaning of the clause of the charter, quoted by the committee. The same section of the charter which prescribes the t Neer ps of the members of the two ‘ds, also prescribes that of a voter, and in Tegard to the assessment of property, the lah- guage is the same, word for wort. From the date of that charter to this time the construc- tion given to that clause has been, that if the voter wasan heir of a deceased ancestor, in ‘whose name the property had been assessed in his life time, and continued after his death te the time aan he was assessed within the mean © charter, and so entitled, if otherwise qualified to vote. “ These are satisfactory reasons for this Cor- poration. The property is not required to be assessed in the name of the true owner, and the assessment could not be changed until there was will or other operative convey- ance, as evidence upon which that change would be authorized. Yet the heirs were bound to pay the taxes, and so the assessment to me ancestor was taken to be an Assessment to the eir. If Mr. Marche’s name does not appear on the assessment books atali, and he is not an heir, and, as such, entitled to an undivided interest in lands descended to him, and assessed in the name of his ancestor, there is only one other ossible Son egy, which I think he can be eligible. If Mr. Marche is a married man, and his wife has real estate assessed to her, he is entitled toa life estate,and would thus be entitled to vote or to sit in the Council, Your obedientservant, Jos. H. BRADLEY, Attorney, &c. Mr. Moore moved to strike out the word “not” in the resolution declaring that Mr. Dud- ley is not entitled to a seat; which was carried, and the board thus decided that Mr. Dudley was entitled to his seat. Mr. Marche stated that the action of the board in his case was plainly foreshadowed. He had read the opinion of the Corporation, and he eould not find how he had arrived at those con- clusions. It seemed that if he (Mr. M.) was not entitled toa seat that the whole matter of elections was one stupendous fraud, for every one who had yoted without haying the prop- erty qualifications had done so illegally. He had previously intended to offer his resigna- tion, and tendered it now The resignation was accepted. Mr. Moore moved the opinion be printed; carried. Mr. Larner introduced a bill authorizing the Mayor to use a portion of the appropriation for enclosing the reservation near the Northera eaeet in draining the same; which was assed. = The following were reported by the commit- By Mr. Ferguson, (ways and means,) license and regulate hucksters—passed.

Mr. Larner called up bill from the Board of Aldermen to cause F street north to be paved heey to 14th streets west, which was passed. The substitute for the Council amendatory bill authorizing the Mayor to anticipate the revenue for the purpose of paying bounties to volunteers was taken up. It was argued that the bill radically differed from the original bill, and only provided that only such as had attained the age of 21 years should be benefitted. Young men under that age were left out in this bill, Detailed men ‘were benefitted as well as those who were in exempt clubs, which was not contemplated by the billas it passed the Council. ‘The substitute was rejected by a unanimous vote. The bill to license billiard tables was re- ceived from the Aldermen, with a request tor a committee of conference, and Messrs. Fergu- son, Owen, Pettibone was a) ted. ‘The following bills from the rmen were assed: To.set curb, andcause pavement to be id on the north front square 537; tosupply a Osfioioncy 19 eppror: for enclosing re- servations in the Second ward ; for the repair of 14th ee G to Boundary ; for the re- lef ot Wm.
