THE EVENING STAR., The Largest Cirenlation in the District W. D. WALLACH, Editor and Prepricter, WASHINGTON CITY: THURSDAY. . JULY 18, 1867. @ READING MATTER ON RVERY PAGS. SER OUTSIDE FOR INTERESTING TBLE- GRAPHIC AND OTHER MATTER. FOR THE ACCEMMODATION OF PARSONS leay- ing the city during the summer months they | = can have the STaR mailed to their address, by ordering the same at the office, for 124 cents Per week, for one week or more, THE SELECTION OF CITY OFFICERS. The bul prepared by tne committee of the Republican Association of this city, and passed by the House yesterday, provides that sll the officers whose appointments are now authorized by the charter or by any law of tbe United States, o: act or ordinance of the city, or which may hereafter be authorized thereby, sball be selected by ballot on the first Monday in August in each year, in joint cen- vention of the Mayor, Board of Aldermen, and Board ot Common Council. The inciting cause to this measure seems to have been the crea. tion by the ast Councils, just prior to the ad- journment, of the new office of inspector of sewers. &c.,, and the appointment to fill it of one obnoxious to the political majority at the Jast election, by having been an epposition candidate for the office of surveyor. The Board of Aldermen have thus far not con- curred with the lower Board ina measure abol- ishing this office; hence the inception of this bill, which mskes a clean sweep of all the offices in the appointmént of the Mayor. It is hela by some that the divided responsi- biiity caused by this bill will work badly, and result in much confusion, 1t bas been said that this is the first instance in which city officers have been elected by joint conven. tion of the two branches of the Councils, but | we learn that in the neighboring city of Bal- timore eueb practice has prevailed. By act of the Assembly of Maryland of November 1, 1807, it was provided that all nominations should be by joint nomination of both Boards of Council. This was amended. by act of 182 (cbap. 148, sec. 2,) «that the Mayor shall sominate. and, by and with the advice and | | gomg | iter consent of & convention of the two branches shall sppoint.” all offices under the Corpora- tion except the register.

Said volunteers to be placed on the same footing as to pay, subsistence, etc, 38 Tegular troops Mr. Dawes moved to strike out the General of the army and insert the President in the first part of the amendamient. Mr. Howard ho) this amendment wonld Rot be agreed to. ‘he Pre: nt had entifely neglected to give the least at ioe to the bor- der difficulties, Instead of nding to such matters he and @ portion of his Uabinet had been visiting Boston and Raleigh, making po- litical speeches. Mr. Fessenden regarded the remarks of Mr. Howard as a reflection, though perhaps unin- tentional upon the comduct of the Secretary of ‘War. tt could not beexpected thatthe Pre! ident would give bis personalattention tosuch’ matters.
