Ont of ten thoutand regular physicians you can- not find ene who will not say that Stimulants and Invisorants are absolutely necessary in medical practice, And yet in by-gone years humane prac- titioners have hesitated to administer them, be- cause the flendish ingenuity of wretches who make me:chandise of human infirmities, bad so polluted and deteriorated them that the remedy was deemed asdangerous as the disease.

Covncit Proceepinea, May 8.—Boa-a of Aldermen.—The Board met at the usual hour. Present: Aldermen Barr, Uanfleld, Galick, Lloyd. Morgan, McCathran, Noyes, Plant, Turton and Utermehie, The Presicent of the board being absent, Mr. Lloyd was called to the chair. In the absence of the Secretary, Mr. F. L. Harvey was elected secretar: pro tem. Acommunication was received from the Act- ing Mayor snnouncing the approval of the fol- Jowing acts, viz:—Authorizing the grading and paving of alleys in square No. 327; aiso, in squares No. 435 and 436; to lay a flag footway across B street south, on the west side of 4th street; to set curb and pave the footway on the north side of F street south, from ist to 1% street west; to lay a water main on Ist street east, from A to C street north; to pave carriage- way of ith street west, from ri to @ street north; to setcnrbstone and pave footway on the east front of square No, 528; to lay flag foot- way Across ith street east, on the north side of B street south: to set curbstones and lay foot avements on the north and south sides of ‘ennsylvania avenue, from 26th street west to the iron bridge over Rock Creek; to lay a flag footway acroas Pennsylvania avenue, to the east side of Jth street east; joint resolution for the appointment of a committee in relation to the taxes dune by the Baltimore and Ohio Rail- road Company to this Corporation: joint reso- Intion authorizing the ayor to purchase water pipes and other materials for laying water mains; and joint resolution authorizing the sale of the dredging machine belonging to the Corporation Also, trom the same, a2 communication en- closing & communication from A. B. Talcott, Superintendent of the Police and Fire Alarm Telegraph, in reply to the resolution of the Board of Aldermen in relation to the firealarm bell at the Columbia Engine House. Mr. Tal- cott says that the reason why the bell on the Columbia Engine Honse has not struck at all alarms of fire the same as the others was be- cause the machinery had become impaired by the leaky condition of the tower, and a farther delay was necessitated after the tower was re- paired In order to let the weight run down be- fore the machinery could be taken to pieces and cleaned. Mr T. reports farther that both the towerand the machinery has been put in complete order, and no further annoyance need be apprehended from that source. Referred to committee on fire department. A communication was received from Dr. G. M. Dove, Secretary of the Boara of Health, in reply to the resolution of this Board of the ist inst. Dr. Dove reports that eat no former time has the general heaith of our city been better than it is at present, and with the exceptions to be mentioned as free from cause cf disease or epidemic fs it is at this moment. The Doctor says the particular nuisance referred to in the resolution of the Board con- sists of one or more hone-boiling establish- ments in the vicinity of the city, but beyond its limits, in Virginia. They appear to belong to contractors with the United States Govern. ment, and are used in the preparation of dead horses and other carcases, which are generally brought there from Giesboro. That the odor arising from these operations is extremel: offensive is most true; and being severely felt by the inhabitants of the city residing in the Seventh Ward near the river, must have an injurious effect upon their comfort and health. ‘he Doctor asserts that measures will be immediately taken by the Superintendent of the Metropolitan Police and himself to confer with the proper authorities, and to abate as speedily as may be, this well-grounded cause of complaint. The attention of the Board of Aldermen is called te the condition of the fish wharf, located at the foot of 1ith street, which is a fruittul source of annoyance in conse- quence of neglect to Keep it clean and as tree from odor as it might be. Its location is cer- tainly very objectionable, but without alluding to that at present, Dr. Dove suggests that parties Owning or renting them should be re- quired to remove the accumulated offal daily, and the premises washed and cleaned. Dr. Dove says another source of fature dis- ease exists in the cundition of our city canal, which it is very evident requires cleaning, and perhaps dredging, throughout nearly its whole extent. With these exceptions, remarks Dr. Dove, there is no other source of complaint; & id much of the improved sanitary condition of the city and its attendant good health is due to the labors of the Metropolitan Police, and par- ucularly to its sanitary detail, whose duties are well performed. Ordered to be published With the proceedings of the board. The report of the intendant of the asylum and workhouse was received aud referred to the asylum committee.

Mr. Larner, from the special committee to which was referred the petition of John H. Jobnson, with resolutions in relation to certain persons who have been in the service of the rebellion, reported the following: Whereas itis reported that certain citizens of Washington, who left their homes and de. serted the Government in the hour of periland enlisted in the service of the rebellion, are about to return tothe city for the purpose of residing: And whereas, in view of the late calamitous events and the indignation of the citizens of Washington aginst the authors, .their aiders and abettors, and all traitors in or out of the Union, we deem the return to our city of such men, at this time, as exceedingly injurious and well calculated to excite and strengthen the feeling which prevails against the enemies of our common country: There- fore beit A aeeR Resolved, dc. That while disclaiming all feelings of rsonal animosity toward any man, we feel that we express the views of the citizens of Washington generally, and dis- charge a duty due toour constituents, to ad- monish and warn those men who left the’ homes 1m this city on the threshold of the re bellion, and openly defied the National Goy- ernment and engaged in the horrid work ot tret.son, that their return at this time wonld be exceedingly repugnant to the feelings of the loyal citizens of Washington, and would, ia our judgment, be regarded as an act unpro- ductive of good, but fraught with much Resolved further, That im view otf the recent opinion of the Attorney General of the United States and the facts above set forth, we earn- estly and respectfully appeal to the President of the United States to make such an order or orders as will best caer in effect the object and purpose of these resolutions. ebolved further, That in the general meeting about to be held in this city on this subject, we counsel modsration and Ls GEO anda strict adherence to the laws of oops Tee ‘Mr. Pengh said that the manner in whic! jations came before the Board he was 0} posed to, and Jt was an insingation op sntelligence of the Board, It wasa werd ava matter, Our late Chief Magistrate had end bimeslf to the people not ip stirrhig up strife’ but by cultivating friendiy feel and he Was astonished that after four years Of war they would now cavil about the miscreants who come to settJe down among we under the authority of law. It was in effect to stir up the spirit of meb Iaw, and he was wo the Councils taking any action 1 matior. It was the plain duty of the members to attend Ss their own business, but this ae) =} uncilmen, did not concern them, ax in the charter there were anyjpowers mae ven to take j < the pateee cognizance of the subject of wi Mr Larner stated that the manner th whitch the resolutions came before the Board Was in accordance with custom. Every one had the right to petition, and if the petition was re- specful it should be referred; and this course had been pursued with the petition. Mr. L. referred to the satisfaction of the citizens on the introduction of the resolutions. The gen= tleman had sald that to pass the resolutions would stir Li? strife; but in his opinion the contrary would be the result. The opinion of the Attorney General was that in leaving this city and going South these rebels annulled their right to citizenship here, and they shonid Temain South. To see men of professed Joyalt: pampering with these men, drinking wi them. &c., is catculated to stir up strife, and our people will not stand such scenes. Mr. Pengh replied that if the Attorney Gen- eral had decided as had been stated, his coad- juters do notenforce that opinion. If it was against the law for these men to come here there was a remeay. He was unwilling to lend bimselt to an absurdity. Mr. Edmonston moved to lay the resolutions over till the next meeting: carried. Fee eee emometons Moore, Owen, a ne. Peugh, eem, Simms, Stephens. Talbert, Ward, Wright—1i. ag ae OT Nays—Messrs. Davis, Dudley, Ferguson, Kelly, Larner, Ruff. Swain, Lloyd—3. At this juncturea message was received from. the Aldermen inviting a joint meeting te open the bids for laying water pipe, with a resolu- tian relating thereto, whieh was adopted, and the board took a recess. On returning to the chamber Mr. Talbert moved to réconsider the vote by which the resolutions in relation to the return of persons whoentered the seryice of the rebellion had been laid over. Mr. Edmonston moved to adjourn; lost. Mr. Peugh moved to lay Mr. Taibert’s mo- tion to reconsider on the table, which was sec- onded by Mr. Edmonston. The yeas and nays were called, and Mr. Ed- monston asked to be excused from yoting, oui was refused. Mr. Moore moyed to adjourn; lost. The question was taken on Mr. Pengh’s mo tion, and it was lost—yeas 7, nays 10. Mr. Peugh moved to adjourn; lost. Mr. Ferguson called the previous question on which the year and nays was called, and Mr. Edmonston asked, but was not excused from voting, and the call was sustained, and at 1] o’cloek and 20 minutes the resolutions came before the board Mr. Peugh moved to adjourn; lost. Mr. Moore msved to recommit the resolu- tions; lost. At 10 minutes to 12 Mr. Moore asked thet a recess be taken 60 that he could go home to get a cup of tea. At5 minutes to 12 Messrs.

A member—How old are they? eee Edmonston—One of them is only a year old. A-member—O, pshay: you're too old your- self for that. [Laughter]. Mr. Pettibone moved the resolution be re- ferred te the Secretary of War; lost, only one in the affirmative. About this time, (1:15,) Mr. Edmonston asked *Are you going to Baltimore Wednesday morning.” Several voices—Yee, sir. Mr. Edmonston—I move to adjourn; lost.

The Daily Telegraph says:—«He entered Richmond &s a conquerer, but he launched no decree of proscription against the South, for the fight appeared to him to be even, and it ‘was not in his large heart to bear malice against @ beaten foe He spoke very kindly of Gen.

The failure of Messrs. Marx, of London, large dealers in American securities, was an- nounced on the 26th. Their liabilities were stated at £150,000. : Letters of condolence from the Emperor and Prince Napoleon to the family of the lave Mr. Cobden are published. The London Times suggests that Mr. John- son should resign, or in case of his failure to do so, public opinion should be so expressed in regard to him as to lead him to resign. The Daily News cays that it has made cares tul inquiries, and is assured on reliable au- thority that the incident so much to be re- gretted, which occurred at bis instaliation as Vice-President, cannot, without injustice, be taken torepresent Mr. Jonnson’s character, as thore who know him will describe him asa man of real capacity and temperate habits. Financial. {From the N. Y. Commercial, May 9.} The market is abundantly supplied with loanable tunds. The general rate on call is 5 percent. Thesupply is much beyond what can be employed on the street at that rate, and hence considerable amounts are going into the Treasury on temporary loan, withdrawable at 10 days notice. Some of the banks and private bankers are buying Seyen-thirties in preference to lending their balances at the present market rates. Thus the Government is very directly advan- taged by the deeline in gold, which, of course, directly tends to produce an abundance of money. ‘ The amount oF paper offering for discount is merely nominal. The best names are nego- tiable at six per cent,; other grades at 7alU per cent. Foreign exchange is very dull. The high rates have suspended purchases to a consider- able extent, and it would appear that gold must be shipped in large amounts until the supply of commercial bills increases. The leading drawers are asking 109% firmly for 60 days’ sterling,and say they cannot do business at lower rates while the present scarcie ty of merchant’s bills continues. Gold is weak. The supply of cash gold is abundant, and all efforts to put up the pre- mium are foiled by the large amounts offered. The Se! during the morning have been 143 and 14135. ‘The stock market is generally stronger. The “pears” opened by offering large lots of Erie, but withont at ali shaking the strength of the market; 4,500 shares were readily taken in three lots, at S04aS0%; and 1,000 were taken, #10, ats0. This gave confidence to the market, and prices thronghout were 1a23 higher. The wiscellaneous list was better. Railroad bonds and State stocks were duil. The New York Post says: There is no nevel feature of importance at the Stock Exchange, The dulness prevalent last week continues, and with the exception of Government bonds an unnsually small amount ot the leading stock are being purchased by investors. The speculative cliques are en- deavoring, however, to resist the general ten- dency of public opinion, and to manipulate some of the rail and other fancy securities with a view to making r profits by ob- taining bigher prices.
