Mr. Canfield asked leave tosubmit the fol- Jowing and asked its immediate consideration ; Jornt RESOLUTION urging upon the Provost Marshal General to cause a new enrollment to be made for the District ef Columbia and for other purposes. } Whereas the quota of troops assigned to this istrict is excessive, in consequence of the en- roilment of a great number of the floating popu- lauion, thereby in reality causing this District to furnish men for the States, and this fact having been fully demonstrated by the Ward committees’ endeavors to find the men enrolled according to the lists published by order of the Provest Marshal General; and whereas out of an average of one hundred names#.not more than twenty can be found; and whereas in several of the Sub-districts it will requireevery resident liable to draft to fill the quota assigned to them; and whereas it is important to bring the matter properly before the Provost Mar- shal General. Be it Resolved by the Board of Aldermen and Board of Common Council of the City of Washing- ton, That the two Boards assemble in joint meeting, in connection with the Mayor. on Wednesday, January 11, 1565, at 12 o’clock, m., and proceed in a body tothe Provost Marshal General's office, and urge upon the Provost Marshal General the necessity of granting the District of Columbia a new enrollment. Be it further resolved, That the sum of ten thousand dollars, orso much thereof as may be neceseary, be, and the same is hereby, appro- priated out of the general fund for the purpose of defraying the expenses incurred in making a new enrcliment in the seven sub-districts of the city of Washington: /rovided,. The ap- proval of the Provost Marshal General be first obtained. Mr Canfield also in this connection asked the reading of articles clipped from the Stak and Chronicle, showing the onerous nature of the quota, which were accordingly read. Mr. Plant moved to strike out “ten thousand dollars,” and insert “fiye thousand dollars” in leu thereof. Mr. Utermehble said he was in tavor of doing something to effect a reduction of the quota of the city, but he thought the resolutien just offered needed some moditication. rl Mr. Canfield stated that there were over 1400 names enrolled in the Fifth Ward, and that not more than twenty out of a hundred could be found. Mr. Utermehle had no objection fo the bill further than specifying the per centage of the enrolied that could not be found. The com- mittee should have the figures on paper and be fully advised in every particular before they called on the Provost Marshal General. Mr. Lioyd said that the peopie of the Dis- tricthad shown their devotion to the Govern- ment by tarning out en masse tosustain the in- auguration of the president in his first admin- istration. The voting population ef 6,000 had put into service 4,300 men, and they now only @k to be placed on an equality with the States. Though they are distranchised, having no choice in the Presidential election, they are ever ready to rally around the constitnted au- therity. The enroliment of the district is c tainly exceséive, And now the only question is: how can it be made so to appear to the Pro- vost Marshal General, the President, or any person else! He thought it would be best to calla special session of the two Boards, and haye men present who were in possession of the data and ail the tacts connected with the eproliment, &c. Mr Lloyd said he had been told by a gentieman well informed in the mat- ter that the city is at present entitied to a credit ot 600 men, and he only wished the committee to have the correct data, and then they could compare it with the figures of Gen. Fry. Mr. Pepper said the Government flooded the city with teameters and others in their employ who remained about long enough to be en- Tolled, and then were off. He thonght that men should be appoimted to make the enroll- ment who were well acquainted with the citizens. He would vote for the resolution as it stands, and go to the President, and eyen to Congress, if necessary. Mr. Noyes said that there was a general im- pression mthe community that in consequence of the quota for the District at large, and of the sub-districts respectively. having been fixed, that any turther work on the partof the difter- ent wards to correct the enrolfment list would be labor lost,and consequent!y the work of revision by the ward committees had been for the mest part dropped. His colleague and himeelf, however, had just had a conyersation with the Mayor, and the Mayor had warmly urged that the wards should go on actively with the work of revision, as such corrections, properly establiched, would surely be allowed by Ibe authorities. Mr. N. was of the opinion that a smaller committee would be mere effective than by going up in @ mob, &s if to storm the depart- ment. : Mr. Gulick said that out of 111 enrolled on Penn. avenue, in the Fifth Ward, only 21 could be tound, and thit of a listof 5S names in a portion of the same ward only 4 could be found. At one house where no one had ever lived bui a widow, the names of four men had been enrolled, and that at a brick-yard, where 30 names had been enrolled, the proprietor of the yerd was willing to qualify that not more than 3 of the names had ever been on the books. Mr. Lioyd remarked that aboot the same state of tacts existed in nearly all the wards of the city. Mr. Pepper gave notice that, at a subsequent meeting, he would introduce & bill to petition Congress to make the District a territory and allow it a representative in Congress, who could probabiy enhance the interests of the District. [Laughter.} Mr Utermehle then offered the following in lieu of Mr. Cantield’s preamble and resolu- tione, which was adopted: Resclved by the Board of Aldermen ana Board of Common Council of the city of Washington, That a committee, consisting of the Mayor, the presidents of the respective boards, one mem- ber of each board, and such citizens as they may invite to agsist them, be, and the same are appointed a committee whose duty it shall be to present to the proper authorities the exces- siveness of the enrollment of this District, and the consequent quota thereon, and to use such exdeavors to have the same reduced as they may deem advisable; and, to enable the said committee to perform the duties hereby as- signed, a sum notexceeding $16,000 be, and the same is hereby appropriated out of the general fund, tbe said sum to be éxpended under the direction of thesaid commitiee.

One man can’t live on $1,600 per annum, while a soldier's wife has to support herself and two children on $192. These are both extreme cases. The £1,600 a year man (or his wife) must be a “born fool,’” to pay $25 a head for his family’s board. My monthly expenses—one wife and child—are as follows: Three miserable rooms (unfurnished). Provisions Fuel. Sundr. 955 Leaving about $42.50 for all other expenses, furniture, clething, ete. I could spend #30 for provisions and $35 for rent without being ex- travagant. If the $1,600 man can’t live on his salary, and can contrive to hand over his posie tion to me, 1 can fill it, and lay by #800 per annum. Next, as to the soldier's wife. Reckoning salary, bounty and clothing allowance, & man enlisting for one year gets @542 and rations; add to this 40 cents per day for clerks extra (enlisted men), and we have $655. Deduct income tax and $30 yer month, (the usual price of hoard here for single men.) and it leaves about $500 as salary of a department clerk, against the #656 of a private detached as clerkinthe army. The dfference is more than absorbed in extra ex- pense of clothing necessarily incurred by the department clerk over the enlisted man doing duty as clerk. Moreover, I haye the means of knowing tha: enlisted men possessing the requisite qualifications cannot be obtained in su ficient numbers for clerical purposes in and at the army. All things considered, and all allowances made, I think the best way to arrange the mat- ter for the benefit of all concerned would be tor Government to allow cierks to draw one ration for themselves and one foreach member of their families, on condition of their agreeing to use the same, paying for them at cost. It would, perhaps, be preferable to a rise of sal- ary to issue one ration as an addition to salary, on the pledge of actual consumption. Those single and other clerks who pay #30 per month and upwards for board, go “o thea- ters, etc, would spend all they get, were itten times &s much as they now receive. This isa plain thongh disagreeable truth. Any ris? in salary, So far as such persons are concerned, is merely a premium on extravagance and Wash- ington speculators. It might be a good thing if buildings were put up by Government to be rented to em-~ ployees at ten per cent, per annurn on cost. Iam, yours, etc, A $1,200 CLERK. - P.S.
