EVENING STAR. ee W. B. WALLACH, Editer and Proprietor. WASHINGTON OUTY: THURSDAY.......DECEMBER 21, 1965, encntrnindcenenttere: vir were or fren oe S7 BEADING MATTER ON EVERY PAGS. BEE OUTSIDE FOR INTERESTING TELE- @BAPHIO AND OTHER MATTER. A CITY COMMISSIONERSHIP. The Bowen Chronicle clique are now zeal- ously urging upon Congress todo away with the present mumicipal organization of Wash- | ington, «and at the same time with the ma- chimery of voting,” and create a commission of | three to govern the city. A very snug little ar- rangement for the Chronicle Bowen clique; Sayles J. Bowen to be chief commissioner, with | (wo assistant commissioners. Perhaps, though, Mr. Bowen will consent to accept all three of the places. Why not! He bas shown himeelf facile of lip and capacious of paunch enough to suck away for years at | six flowing Government teats. Why not make itpine? Nine Teat Bowen is nearly as eupho- nious as “ Six Teat Bowen,” his present appel- latzon amongst the irreverent. And won't the irreverent snffer when he gets the plantation | whip well in bis hands! He will have hisown special Bastile for all who fail to kow-tow to | his Commissionership. But this is only the entering wedge for the grand future. The Bowen-Chronicle-clique bint at a District con- solidation and rulership of the same sort. This would be delghtful—Sayles J. Bowen for all the offices—unlimited teats to suck. For Governor of the District, Sayles J. Bow- en; fer Privy Council, Sayles J. Bowen; for District Commissioners, Sayles J. Bowen; for Postmasters, Sayles J. Bowen; for President of | Police Commissioners, Sayles J. Bowen; for Commissioners of Police, Sayles J. Bowen; for Collector of Internal Revenne, Sayles J. Bow- en; for Assessor do., Sayles J. Bowen; for Dis- trict Mar®hal, Sayles J. Bowen; for Judges of the Supreme Court of the District, Sayles J. Bowen, &c., &c., etc., etc.; for District Printer, John W. Forney.

The application of a decision of the Second Comptroller, dated November 29, 1865, that affidavits taken before a notary public after October Ist, 1565, must have a certificate of the Secretary of State or of a Clerk of the Court of Records to the official character of the notary, bas been defined by himin a communication dated December 14, 1565, as_ follows: “The cer- tificaté of the Secretary of State or of the Clerk of the Court need not accompany each jurat of the notary if the Proper evidence of the com- mencement and termination of his commission be placed on file with the disbursing officer. But the disbursing officer should, on ail jurats iter the first is certified to, write the fact of his personal knowledge of the commission being still in force and sign his initials thereto.” COTTON MANUFACTURES.

The Assistant Commissioner of the Freed- men’s Bureau in Tennessee, in a report to Gen. Howard, dated December 9, 1565, states that there is yet but little suffering among refugees And freedmen in that district, but more is ex. pected as winter approaches. The small pox is spreading in nearly all the larger cities, and it may be found necessary to establish hospi- tals on a limtied scale at Nashville, Chatta- noogs, Memphis, Louisville, and Columbus.
