Also, protest of Daniel Smith " and others sgainat the laying of a pavement on Canul street; referred to improvem gommittee. Also, petition of Geo. T. Ohan ler for repeal of ‘section 16 of the act of 1533, fu relation, to. markets; referred to markets committee. Also, protest and sworn affidavit of J:M.

Campbell was drafted daring the ar, in 1864, and failed toreport. The charge coo ih the-atidavit is that Mr Campbell Grafted during the war and drew $300 from the.Fourth Ward nd went toOan- ‘ada, and subsequently to New York, from [whence he was brougnt totRis city and placed in the military guard-house. Mr. Moore, chair- man of the committee on improvements, stated toat he had a written statement trem twenty Persons, whose names were sigued to the pro. mpbell’s confirmation 84} mes were signed to said pro- teat by some other parties withont their con sent. He aleostated that the letter purporting to be signed by Mr. J.T. Halleck, presented at the last meeting of the Board making aimi- Mr. H. informed & rough draft of ot written it gat nor d to that extent it was a forgery. stated that the allegation made on was not true, that Mr. Campbell drew $300 from the Fourth Ward club. as he (Mr. Moore] was treasurer Gt the club, and was ina ‘ition to know the ded the visit of Mr. he having failed to procure one here. Whi! there he foolishiy got on a spree, as ‘will sometimes do, and got arrested. Mr. El vans ssid they should take care not to drift too far eut to sea. The question now ‘Was moored to the charges in this affidavit, and that was what they must deal with. Mr. Noyes said that be was at first disposed to attach some weight to the all Mr. Campbell, but on inquiring into the mat ter he found occasion to believe that the whole crusade against Dim sprang from interested Motives, and from members of his own politi- eal party. They would find pro! that the concern Was moored at one end to the fact that Mr. Campbell opposed the nomi- nation of a certain candidate for Alder- man in the Fourth Ward Uonservati: nominati meeting, (Mr. Moore, “That's true,”) and at the other ena to the fact that the party (Mr. Jobneon) making this affidavit, ‘wasan applicant for the same position for which Mr ‘Campbell was nominated. Within & week Mr. Jobnson had asked the Mayor if be could not get the nominatien Wa: Commissioner in case Mr. Campbell was rejected Mr. Tait moved that the papers be referred to the comumuttee of improvements for further in- vestigation. Mr. Elvans suggested the ap- pointment of a special committee to consider the matter. Mr. Moore said if these appoint- ments were kept open night after night, the term of the Board would expire before the ap- pointments were confirmed. Mr. Tait said a gentleman now 1 the room informed him that when Early made his raid en Washington Campbell refused to go out in the trenches, and was dismissed from his position under the Government. He could not vote to confirm this nomination until these charges were fur- ther investigated. On motion of Mr. Tait, the papers were referred to the committes of im- provements for further investigation, and that they send for persons and papers. Mr. Given presented the petition of Benja- min Cooley, praying remission of a rine: re- terred to the committee on claims. Mr. Moore presented a memorial signed by Martin Oonner and thirteen other persons, who state that they had been empioyed by Mr. John W. Dyer, nominated by the Mayor for Gommissioner of the First Ward, and that he always paid the.r ‘wages in full without failure; also, affidavit of Robert Boswell that it is untrue that Corpora. tion stone and sand deposited on 23d street was used by Mr. Dyer for bis own benefit, as stated by Jolin O'Day; also, statement of Mr. Dver, that the charges made against him by John O'Day, of using Corporrtion material for his Own ‘purposes, Was untrue; also, affidavit of Patrick Muldoon, that for the last thirteen months he has been employed by Mr. Dyer, who always faithfully paid him his wages, and that the writien statement of John Obay to the contrary is untrue. The Onair, Mr. Turton, asked if the st tement of Mr. "Day was not sworn to. Mr. Moore it was. The above papers were re. ferréd to the committee on improvements. Moore, trom the committee on :mprove- te, presented the affidavit of Mr. John jay, that Mr. Dyer had. appropriated ing stone to his own use, and that he could swear to one hundred cases of ‘the same kind: which was read for the information of the Shair. MrgMoore also presented a written atement of Mr. Jacob Vondelebr, nominated for commissioner of improvements ot the Sec- ond Ward. that the papers tor the establish ment of a restaurant on New York avenue, be- tween 1ith and 15th streets, was signed by @ majority of the property owners of the square. He proceeded to read the signatures of the parties, and Mr. Richards obiected to several Dames as not residing on the square. Mr. Ric! said he bad stated that the license ‘was signed by only one person livingon the square, on the same side—Mre. Muiligan. ‘Theee other parties lived on the other sides of the equare, and opposite. Mr. McCathran Moved that the nomination of Mr. Vondelehr be wow taken up. Mr. Richards said he came here prepared to wake the same motion, bat Mr Vondelebr, througn the gentleman from the Fourth Ward, now characterizes his state- mentsas false. Mr. Moore said the Iaw limits the signers to five squares. Mr. Richards said Mr. A. P. Fowler, whose name was signed, lived on neither of the nve equeres. He should, new most emphatically oppose tae nomination as that of a man he could not trast. as his statements made thropgh Mr. Moore were not correct. He (Mr. Richards) then read from the signed certificates to show that in the case of the licensing of the two restaurants recom- mended by Mr. Vondelebr, the parties who signed the certificates aid not. all of them, re. side within the limits specified in the aw, and said he hoped he had now shown thar the statements he hag made here were not misrep- Tesentations as attempted to beshown by Mr. Vondelebr throrgh Mr. Moore Mr. Moore con’ended that Mr. Fowler lived over bis ata. ble on the square where the restaurant was lo- cated, for which he signed a recommendation. a Richards denied that such was the case, and said Mr. Fowler did not live on the squat although he might have slept there someum: Mr. McOatbran advocated the nomination, an Teferred to the Chronicle repert of what he sa: atthe Jast meeting. He did notas-was ed in that paper, condemn the Metropolitan Police. He differed trom Mr. Richards in ref- erence to the provisions of the law in ref- erence to licensing restaurants, and the power of the Commusioners of Improve- Ments and the Board of Police. Mr. Richards again explained his understand- img-of the law. Atier further debate the qnestion was taken on the nomination of Mr. Vondelehr, and it was confirmed by the foliowing- vote: Yexs—Mesers.'E vane, Given, McCatbran, Moore, Noyes, Talbert, Tait, and Turton—8.

Mr. Given, from the finance committer, reported favorably on the joint reeolution a ete ceneus of the i ‘ash ington to carry out act of Congress, approved March 30th, pees the objevt being ore particularly ‘0 obtain reliable census of the number of children in ie District of Columbia, between = th ages of six and sixteen ears, for the in‘ormation of the Bureau of Education, ahd of Congress. Mr.Given ad- voeated the bill, which appropriates $1,000 for the purpoee named, saying the appropriation Would be a most beneficial outlay, as the in. formation was mi needed. Mr. Noy: stated that this was the same resolution passed by the Of Aldermen at the last session, and which failed in the lower bodrd. It tad then received the careful attention of the school the Board and it was deemed a first importance for the schoo! in- terests that the census should be made ‘Mr. Moore opposed the joint resolution, con- tending that th: tion had wo authority to take @ census, that the autherity rests wit Congrees, and instanced the remonstrance to Congress against the payment by the city of the expense of thespecial election held here for amexpresaion of opinion on the question’ of negro suffrage, as a in point. There is nothing in the charter to authorize this city to take @ census of its inhabitants, nor does the actof Congress referred to give the Uorpora- tion such authority, but makes it the duty of Commustioner of Education to take a cen- of the children over six and under eigh- teen years of age, and obtain other information to be reported to Congress at its next session, but maxes no appropriation therefor. Con- gress smposes burdens enough on us without this expense to be incurred in obtaining infor- sas tec me pemeeeerarss officer. He spoke of the irresponsibility of t trustees of colored schools, who receive from the city something less than $25,000 for the Purpose of educating colored children, for ‘which fond they make no return to this Cor- poration, nor, #0 far as he knew, to any one else. The design is to break up the public schools bere by mixing the races. Our school fund will be absorbed in the education of tne cbildren of strangers who have no interest here. He eriticised the letter of the Commissioner of Education, in order to sustain his view of the matter, and protested mortstrenuously against the passage of the resolution. Mr Noyes said that he did not share in the gloomy prognosti- cations of the gentleman from the Fourth Ward. He was satisfied that the purpose of Dr. Barnard, Commissioner of Education, was an entirely friendly one to the people of this city. It was most important that this informa- tion should be presented to Congress in ashape toshow the peculiar burdens under which the people of Washington labor in the matter of the educational support of white children of non-residents and non-taxpayers. and of the immense number of colored children thrown upon the city by the war. The census proposed, woud show conclusively the burdens and hardehips under which Washington labors in these particulars, and would serve asthe basis tor Congressional action to afford us ‘With these facts in his possession, the Com. missioner of Education could make a forcible appeal to Uougress for such appropriations for this District as bad be the way of grants of aid of educational imterests ‘elsewhers. Mr. Moore said Dr. Barnard bad given him such assurance, but he distrusted the higher power, and this census having been tagen ‘with our authorization wonld lead to ad- ditional taxation. “Mr. Noyes said the intor- mation must go to Congress trom Dr. Bar- nard, in some sbape, and the question is, whether we will supply the requisite data to have it do waservice there. Some discussion took place between Mr. Given and Mr. Moore m relerence to the action of the committee on the resolution, and Mr. Given again earnestly advocated its passage as a most beneficial measure for tbe bert interests of the city. Can We avert the trrible bugbear—something ter- rible, to follow our action—looming up in the imagmmation of the genileman (Mr. Moore), if we refuee to make the appropriation to fur- nish the requisite information! It will be money Well invested to show Congress that wehave a claim upon them. After farther debate the joint resolution was ordered to be read the third time, by the following vote :— Yeas—Messrs. Elvans, Given, Grinder, Lar- man, McCatbran, Noyes, Richards and Tait— 8. Neye—Mesers. Moore and Talbert-2; and ‘was then passed. Mr. Given, from the committee on finance, Teported adversely on the resolution to print 1000 copies ofthe Maycr’s ananal message, be- cause it had been generally published in’ the papers, and the commitiee was discharged from itsfurther consideration. Also,introduced a joint resoluuon, for appointing & committee of two members from each board, to act in con. junction with similar committees from Georg, town and the Levy Oourt, to provide additio1 al facilities tor the register of wills in accord- ance with the act of Congress; passed. Mr. Moore, from the committee on improvements, made & written report on the Mayor’s veto of tbe bill to drain the alley in square5i4, and construct a sewer in Sth street west, recom. mending tbat the bill pass notwithstanding ti objection of theMayor. which was read. the po- sitions taken therein being substantially the same as those advanced by Mr. Meore in his Temarke made on the subjectat the last meeting of the Board as reported in the S/ar. The ques tion was then taken 0» the adoption of the reso- Jution over the Mayor's veto, by the following vote: Ye: i Talbe Nays—Meser: McOathron and Noyes—2 more than the requ: ajte two-thirds. Mr. Given moved for the printing of the report wilh the proceedings. A t 3 greed to. Mr. Moore, from the same committee, re.
