Ringgold, Secretary of the Chesapeake and Obio Vanal Company, stating that said company had contracted with Duval & Co., of Georgetown, wo raise the ca- mel bridges in that city toan elevation suf. ficient for the passage of the jargest class ot boats navigating the canal by November 15th, and requesting that measures be taken by the corporation to have the bridge over Rock Creek, at the terminus of K street Borth, raised to a height seffici for the passage of boats. Reterred to canals committee. Alco, a communication trom Randolph Ooyle, Water Registrar, askimg an ap) ropriation to | dete a horse for the water department, it javing been necessary to kill the one hereto- fore used on account of having the gianders, Referred to finance committee. unications from Joseph Esq., District Attorney, in answer to questions referred to him by the Board of Alaermen at their meeting on the 15th imst. In referring to the power of the Corporation te license tax agy trade or business, he says it “must rest om xpress graat.”’ Power is given liceuse, tax, aud regulate ageacies of all Kinds of insurance companics.” No other agencies are mamed. “The ru le of con- struction is, tBat the maming of ene kind or class abject to taxation, exciudes all others mot 1 do net find in the charter ex- press or implied authority to require aay other “agents or apy protessional persons io take out licenses before eutering upon the Ppractics ofthe same Referred 1@ the commitiee to represent the imterests of the Corporation be- fore Congress. in reference to the power of the Corporation to require wharves to be properly lighted at night, Mr. Bradley says: “This is a Pelice power very important for the safety of the pub- lic. There may be some doubt as to whether it is or notgiven im terms by the charter, bat I think there can be mone as to its being very clearly implied. St:li, the construction givem by the courts to charters of municipal corpor- ationsis euch that if the grant is not perfectly clear, there must be an implication so neces- sary a5 not to admit ofa doubt. As at present advised I think tnere is power.” Referred to Police committee. In reference to another question referred to him the Corporation Attorney says;—“I have Heretofore had oceasion to state that there is no suit now pending im any court, in which the sores is a party, invoiving the title of the C pean to wharf sites en the Potomac Tiver. There was a suit between individuals in which the question was involved, and in which the Court (for the question was raised by the Court) thought it must be decided. Bat that suit, after lingering some time, bas been settled by the parties. I also said ifthe Corpo- ration desired to have that question judicially settled, it would involve great labor and ex- pense, and ire the aid of additional coun- sel. Such a labor would not fall within the ordinary duties of the Attorney of the bpd ratiop; nor could he alone satisfactorily dis- charge it. The value of the matter in contro. verey would be very large, and the legal ques- tions involved of great moment and gravity. I take this occasion to renew that suggestion.” Beferred to cemmittee on finance. 1n reference to the ig Sond of the law granting ermission to John P. Dennis to use his brick uilding as a blacksmith shop, Mr. Bradley says some doubt may exist under the phrase- ology of the charter; but the Councils have a right to revoke any permit which they have granted.

Mr. Tait moved an amendment to have the plans and estimate: bmitted for approval to the Water Kegistrar. He explained that there wasa necessity for proper scrutiny into the faithtul execution of work on sewers and other Corporation con- tracts, charging that the Corporation was wronged daily for want of proper supervision of the work. Mr. Noyes stated that the Mayor had, in his last two Annual messages, called attention to the necessity of a system of sewerage and prop- er supervision of the same. Mr. Tait withdrew his amendment on its be- ing explained that the bill gave the Mayor power to appoint a proper supervisor over ims Work; but moved to amend by making it obli- gatory on the Mayor to appoint a competent Person to superintend it, and receiye such compensation for his services as th ayor may determine; adopted, and the was passed. > Mr. Lewis, from the committee on improve- mente, introduced a bill to repair the carriage- way onC street north. between 7th and sth Streets west; passed.

But a portion of the damage done in the city is yet Known, and nothing has been received from the country, where, it is expected, the damage bas been very great.

MURDER IN ComNxcTICUT.—A_ shecking murder was perpetrated in West Hartford on Saturday night. The victim was a Mr. Julius Thompson, @ bachelor, 40 years of age. who lived with his mother and sister, on the road leading to Talco't Mountain. Between 7 and S o'clock & young man called at the house, and requested Mr. Thom: to assist him, as his wagon had broken down. Mr. Thompson went out with thestranger, and was found by his street gate about an hour afterward, under highway, brutally murdered. His skull was broken open with some instra- mentor club. No arresthas as yet peen made, but the Hartford police are on track of the supposed murderer. A suspicious character has been seen for several days hanging about the village, and is supposed to be the mur- derer. Robbery was the probable cause, a Mr. Thompeon had some money and bonds in tne house. ee eee eS i POLES SETTLING IN VIRGINIA.—Frederieks- burg papers say that Gene Tochman, the distinguished Polish exile, purchased two thonsand three hundred acres of land in the Wilderness of Spottsylvania, upon which will be lecatea immediately between twenty and thirty Polieh families who have recently ar- rived in thiscountry. The immigrants are de- scribed as intelligent and energetic, and will, doubtless, prove a valnable accession to the country in which they are abont to settle.

Gommissiemers—Preciamation by the -Yesterday was the day appointed by Gover- nor Swann, of Maryland, for the Pelice Com- Iowsioners ef Baltimore to appear and show cause why they should not be removed for of- ficial miscondact, as yyed by the memorial from the people of timore, upon the testi- DY as worn to and presented for his con- ration Shortly after ten o'clock the counsel for the Police Commissioners, Thomas S. Alexander, Henry Stockbriage and Archibald Stirling, x. Esqs., appeared in the Executive Ohamber, and scon after John H. B. Latrobe and Wm. Schiey, Esqs. of ¢ sel for the people, presented themeelves. and indicated their readiness to proceed with the business which they had been called upon to prosecute. Goy. Swann said memorial has been presenied to me, ms by four thousaod, three bundred and fifty-nine citizens of Balti- more, complaining of the action of the Police Commissioners in the late election, which I communicated on Thursday last to the Com- missioners of Police, stating at the same time that the affidavits would be open for their in- ae ay up to to-day (Monday). I also noti- ied the chairman of the committee of citizens of the time when the examination would be- gin.” He then read the fellowing, which he bad hastily prepared: Before taking up the case of the Police Com- missioners, assigned for to-day, | would avail myself of the occasion to remark that I have seen it stated in some of the morning papers that the Governor of the Stave had Proposed a compromise with the Commissioners of Po- lice. 1tis due to me to say that I bave made Bo compromise, nor have 1 authorized any one to do®0 in my behalf. Twoof the most zosppetabie citizens of Baltimore, Mesers. O*Donnell and Detord, called upon the Com- missioners of Police im order to suggest to them the propriety of divesting the organization of ‘what may be considered its partizan character by giving the other side one judge and one clerk in each precinct. This they did upon their own responsibility. When I find it ne- ceseary to examine into the conduct of a State officer 1 shall doit in the shape of instructions commanding them to obey the laws, if they bave violated them. I can make no compro- mise of the laws of the State, which lam bound to see carriea out in the interest of every citi- zen | would also remark here, as 1 see the press so largely represented, both at home and abroad, that efforts are being made to connect the Governor of the State with Rebels and Rebel eympathizers. I bave been an uncom- promising supporter of the Union from the commencement of the war down to the present moment. and have suffered perhaps as mach as most Union men in the maintainance ofmy principles. lam in favor ofa prompt recon- struction of the States upon the basis of loy- alty. I cannot recognize that any State is out ofthe Union, and I am oppoeed to forcing ne- ero suffrage and negro equality upon an un- willing people in any State without their con- sent. For th Gitte rence of opinion | am denounced as a Rebel sympathizer and a trai- tor. 1 deem it my duty simply to notiee another fact. Before this investigation has been en- tered upon—before the testimony in the case ot the Police Commiseioners has been duly considered, or any information authoritatively given as to what my judgment may be, mili- tury organizations are being imaugerated in the city of Baltimore to oppose the anticipated action of the Governor, and, 1 regret to say, that threats have been held out of an of the State of Maryland by parties 1i yond our limits. The parties engaged effort to excite the people of Baltimore in the interest of resistance te the laws of the State, ™ ust be aware that they take upou themselves aresponsibility for which they will held to a strict accountability at the proper time. { shall take up this case. gentlemen, it I know myseif, without prejudice, and with en- ure freedom from all political or partisan bias. 1 ask only that the laws of this State shall be respected. and this 1 am bound, as its chief executive officer, to insist upor. Mr. Schley rose and said tbat Mr. Latrobe ard himself were present on bebalf of the citi- zens, their associate counsel, Hon.

With re- gard to the compromise spoken of, nething of the sort had proceeded from the Commission- ers, or by their antherity. He would read the response of the Commissioners to the notifica- tion from tae Governor. The document, which is very long, was then read. The commissioners mot only deny the trath of the charge made against them, but as- sert that the Governor is without jurisdiction ip the case, easing : “ We respecifally submit that the matter you propose to take upon Monday next is not a matier of executive cognizance, and while we expect with comfidence that you will relieve the apprehension of this community by re- fusing to emtertain this movel jurisdiction, and decliming to advance the objects of those who have appeared before you, aad who would re- eat y' to see you produce a conflict in this city, ut to promote whose pul poses we believe you Will pot be made am instrument. we shall con- Uimue to discharge our duty as mombers of the Board of Police fearlessly, and we expect to receive the support and roval of ali loyal and law-abiding citizens. ‘© remain, respect. fully, your obedioat servants, NicuoLas L. Woon, Sava. Hiepes.” Mr. Schley said it was a most extraordinary paper, and he could hardly understand it. Tne question was one of jurisdiction, amd there it should have stopped. That was the question which they were ready toargue. if the Gov- ernor bad mo jurisdiction, why send a long ee- say denying the charges? And why not plead not guilty? He ieee to hear thi ge the paper—*it you in the closing semtences o' pal are disposed to make t:ouble,” &c.,—an i and a@ threat to the Executive of the State. They were there to assert his authority in the Fane which they could establish beyond a doubt. Mr. Alexander said it was to be regretted they hac not called om the counsel on the other side before they prepared the reply. He did not propose the paper, but took the responsi- bility of the whole of it. The Commissioners were right to deny the right of the Executive to try them, and it was but just in them todeay the charges alleged against them. Something bad been said about trouble, but the counsel haa said nothing on the subject.
