Jas. W. Patterson, Kepre- Fentauive in Congress from New Hampsicre, who rose io respond amid great rpplause. * RESPONSE OF HON. J. W. PATTERSON. Mr. Patterson commenced with an eloquent illusion to a eharacter of ancient bistory who, he said, found Athens built of brick and lett it builtof marble. This eomid not be done by Congress,for Washington, for im those days the will of the soveceign was supreme, and the power and wealth of the kingdom was concen- trated in its capital, but under the new forms of civilization Congress could se Jeguslate that the wealth of the Republic, its enterprise, its progress, its cultore, and its educational influ- ences could be centeredin its capital. What was wanted was to connect this city with the South—every section of the South; with the North—every section of the North,’and com. merce snd wealth would naturally flow into it. We must build up ju this metropolis @ sys- tem of schools. Washington has 25,000 ebil- Gren between 6 ang 17 years of age, Boston has 40,000, The expenditures in Washington for public schools annually was less than 310,000, while in Boston $736,40) was expended annu- ally for public shoois. Washington bas $110), Worth of school property, while Boston has « Million anda haifof such Property. Wash- ington has school accemmodations for but 6,000 Children, while there were 20.000 tobe supplied. Tbe difficulty was that 33 per cent are chil- Gren of employees of Government who do not Pay taxes bere, and inthe fact that Govyern- Ment owns $60,000,000 of property upon which botaxes are paid. This Government proper- ty ought to pay taxes for the education of the children. Itis not the people of Washington Who are mainly interested in this, but the whole people of the country. [Applause.) He continued to speak at length with regard to the improvement which should be made by Congress upon the capital, and concluded amid loud and long continued appiause. After music by Esputa’s band the president Tead the second regular toast, as follows: “The Congress of the 1 pitea States: The Sppointed guardians of the nation’s capital, charged with subjects of legisiation vitally atfecting the District's tnterest.”* { pon the announcement of this toast, loud calls were made jer the Hon. Joba F. Farns- Worth, ef Illinois. After the applause had subsided, Mr. Farnsworth arose to reply. SPEECH OP HON. J. ¥. FARNSWORTH. Mr. Farnsworth commenced by alluding to the fact that comparatively little attention is paid by Congress to the interests of the Dis- trictot Columbia. He judged so from hisown experience. Members of Congress come here, engage rooms and. board for the session, go bome, and know little more about the District and tbe people who live here than they did at the beginning of the session. They were apt to think in Congress; when any bill was pre- sented for improvement of streets here or for the erection of buudings, that it was some lobby scheme, and emcbody ould move to lay it on the table. This was ali wrong. Gon- grees owed it to itsel? as well as to the nation, to make the national capital worn country.
