We were then engaged ina trial involving a man's lite. and Ltold bim I would wait. After he had given me this plain inti- mation, he applied to me the mott offensive and opprobrious epithets. I waited till that trial was over, and he had Tecovered bis health, when 1 delivered t» him on Saturday last a note, of which tie follow- ing is a true copy: Waenrnoton, August 6, 1867.—Hon.

Your memorialist has here- wotore endeavored in behalf not only of nim- self, buj of many other property-hoiders like- Wise siinsted, to Tepresent this matter to vour earnest consideration, but has fatled to cause | any modification whatever from the prezent metho: of levying and collecting said taxes: nevertheless, he deems it but justice to him- self and those for whom he feels authorized to speak. that be should again bring the subject to your honorable notice. Yeur memorialist, owning lots Nos. 6 and ~ in square 2-1, (corner of 13th and M streets,) would. under the present system of levying and collecting, have to pay for sewerage, as per estimate, if carried out accoraing to the bill which passed the Board of Aldermen and | Council last year—say, for a sewer on 13th street, from I to N for paving the carriageway on 1th and M stree's, lot 7 would be taxed not less than 293125. Your memorialist bas paved the side- walk in front of his dwelling on 13:h street, at an expense to bim of $366. nd has peen taxed for paving alley on lot 7,815.60. * #* Square No. 251 coniains 153,750 square feet, and bounded north and south by M and N streets, east and west by 12tb and 13th streets Lot No. 7, owned by memorialis*, contuins 2.910 square feet, situated op thé corner of 13th and M. and runs back 120 feet _on 13th street, to allry, (5 feet.) lot fronting 24 feet 3 inches on M stree If a sewer similar to the oneon Lith street sbould be constructed on 12th and 13 'reets, aud smaller ones on M and N, the whole square would be equally benefitted. at (estimatea) 511 per Hneal foot tor large sewer, and $3 for small sewers, the cost for the square would be $6,463. Equally divided it would cost the property-holders 4 2-10 cents per square foot: but, under the present system, let No.7 would have to pay 369150. or 24 cents per square foot. Now, suppose you have the carriage-way of streets bordering in square 2-l—estimated cost per lineal foot on 13th street $15.50, on 12th street $11.50, Mand N streets #10) per lineal foot; total cost for square 21. 395065". Equally divided between prop- erty-bolders, (who are all equally benefitted.) it would be 62-10 cents per square foot; but, under the present system, lot No. 7 would have to pay $331.25, or 32 cents per square foot. 3, 4, 5, and 6, the same size as under the present laws, would pay for ing carriage. way and sewerage only 5 4-10 cents per superficial or square foot.” ities Bes BASE BaLL.—Monday, the Pioneer Club, of Alexandria, bad an excnrston to Carlin’s Springs, which was attended by several mem- bere of the clubs in this city. In the mori a mat-n game was played by the first nines of the Eagle Club, of Washington, and the Us- ceola Club, of Alexandria, which resulted in Lots Nos.

A silver goblet, the prize contended for, was presented to the victors by Mayor Latham, in & short ana happy addrees, in which he hoped that nothing stronger than pure water would ever be quaffed from its brim. Later in the evening a game was commenced between the Monumental and Eagle Ciubs, of Washington, but at the closing of the first invings 11 was suspended, in order that the contestants might make the railroad connection in time to reach their homes before morning. On Friday evening next, at 3 o'clock, the first nine of the Old Dominion Club, of Alex- sndria, will play 8 match game with the first pine of the Jefferson Ciub, of this city, on the grounds south of the President’s Mansion, —_+—__ TEMPERANCE MEETING —Last night, at half past eight o'clock, @ meeting, composed prin- cipally of colored people, assembled at the Church, corner of 19th and 1 streets, to hear Major General 0. O. Howard, J. M. Langston And others speak. the topic being temperance, and the object being to form a temperance lodge and swell the ranks of the cold water army. The speakers interested the assemblage upon the subject under consideration for more than an hour, ueimg the most cogent argu- ments to fix the principles of the temperance eause upon the minds of their hearers. The necessary steps were then taken to establish the lodge, and although somewhat of a pre- limivary nature, we venture to say, from the enthusiasm exhibited, that they will possess in themselves a permanent character. The cause fe especially interesting to colored peo- ple, and ere long we have no doubt every re- spectable colored person in the community will be enlisted under the glorious banner of the cold water army. —_e—___ GroncrTown Femry.—The Alexandria Ga- zette smye: A charter was obtained through the exertions of Col. Dulany, trom the Legisiature of Viginia, last winter, authorizing the con- struction of @ turnpike road from Fairfax Court House to a poimt on the Potomac river, opposite Georgetown, as soon as @ bridge is erected there, or a ferry putinto operation. The establisbment of the ferry alluded to is now the subject of some consideration in George- town, but the construction of the road will, it said, be ‘poned for a long time, for the people of artax like the majority” of their countrymen throughout the entire South have now but little money to devote to build roads or anything else, nor is it Jikely will bave until the present unsettled political condition of the country shall haye become quieted. —__ THE National LAaBoR Coxoress—This body, composed of delegates trom the Bat en workingmen’s, organization throughout the country, which held its first session iast year in Baldmore, will Bold its second annual ses sion at Chiergo. commencing of Monday next, aud the delegates from this clty willtleaye to.

The committee of the granite cutters was com ¢ of Mesers. W. O. Clark president), Matihew Oatterson, Robert Royle. ohn Boyle, John T Youag, Jas. Gibling, and K MeMiilan, and on entering the room Mr. Olark presented the books, whicd are substan. fhanly bound, and bear a label containing, ip gilt letters. «Presented by the Graaite Ontters* Asseciation, D. 0. to the Stone Cat-ers’ Asso. eatin of Washington, August 31h, 1357." The cos! of the cet was #25, Mr Clark, in presenting the books, referred to the fact that in the Iate strike of the granite culters forthe ©four o'clock quit on Saturdey,”” ‘be stone cuiters had matenally aided ther, 0 given them bearty co-operation. The granite entiers made arrangements to pay for the services then rendered, but all compensa- tion was refused. The franite cutters then determined on making this present, fo a>- kuowledee their obligations, He boped that the recording secretary’s book would never conta sny {Bing dishonorable to the associa- tion: that the book of the corresponding secre- tary would oon contain correspondence re- sulting in the consolidatien of the trades (sione and pranite cuttere)in all branches, and (hi the treasurer's book will always show @ large balance to ‘tue credit of the association. Mr. J. J. Mitchell. in behait of the stone cutters, accepted the gift, assuring the committee that the motive which prompted it will be appreciated. As for the cause in which they were in common engaged, ifany one deserves the thanks of the workingmen it is the architect of the Treasury extension, whose tyranny had bad the effect to unite two fssociations. (the Stove and Granite Catters,) between which heretofore there bas been jealous feeling, ia close bonds of friendship and kirdly feelings for each other. The books be was sure would never contain anything derogatory to the granite cutters, for the stone cutters are firm and true, and among them the granite cutiers would always find friends. The siove cutters here appointed a commities on refreshments, and an entertainment was hastily gotten up, at which the association with their friends of the gianite cutters en- gaged themselves for some hours: sentiment, song, recitation, &c., being the order of the evening ——— Corner STonzs or VACANT SQUARES.—The bill introduced into the Board of Aldermen by Mr. Grinder, on Monday evening, und referred to the Improvements Committee, enacts: That the Surveyor of the city shail immediately pro- ceed to plant a stone ateach vacant corner of every vacant square in said city, (of Wash- ton.) and to critically test the location of each fuch real or supposed corner-stone now stand- ing on or near each such square, and any such store found to be improperly located to re- move and properly reset. /’rorided, howerer, ‘Thatshould he deem it best tor the city treas- ury, avd all sufficient for individual owners ot lots in any such square, he may place such siones only ap alternate and diagonally oppo- si'e corners oPsuch squares. ‘That for this parpore he may select and ap- pomta ekilled person as his deputy therefor, whosball be therefor paid by the said Sur- yryor out the funds hereinafter appropriated, atsneb rate as he, the said Surveyor, by and witb the advice and consent of the Mayor, shall witb such deputy Surveyor first agree: Vi ovidedy That such deputy shall have first tnken ard subscribed to an cath of office as near like upto that required of the Surveyor ot seid city as may be pppropriate That ali the pains and penaltie. attached by lav to any violation of bis such oath of office by thesad City Surveyor shall be sad are bereby atiached to any euch violation by such Geputy surveyor. ‘That the City Surveyor shall, on or abont the first day of each caleudar month, report to the Mayor all work doneand expenses incurred | hereunder during the month then just passed ; avd which reports shail by the Mayor be sub- mitted to each hoard of this body.

IMPROVEMENTS UNDER THE SEPERIWTEN- DENT OF PUBLIC BUILDINGS.—Gen. Michler, Superintendent of Public Buildings and Grounde, is still actively engaged in pushiog forward improvements abont the city. On the south side of Pennsylvania avenue, trom Evebth to Ninth streets, in front of the market house. the guttering has been lowered and re- set to carry off the drainage that has hereto- fore settled unpleacantly at that point. The two trisngnlar pieces of ground fronting on Vermont venue, between I and K streets, are About to be fenced in and converted into a small park, which will greatly add to the at- tractiveness of the neighborhood. Benning’s Bridge. over the Eastern Brancb, out H street, is being entirely rebuilt, and the work Is well under way. In the Botanical Gardens Gen.

The stone-paved carriageway of Pennsylvania avenue bas been thoroughly overhauled and Teluid, in some instances whole squares of it being relaid; and thie, too, has been done in a much betier manner than suca work is usually done; the stone being laid in a ueep bed of sand and perfectly rammed. Under General Michier, Forts Waphington and Foote are being Tepaired, and the grounds are having a thor- ough overhauling.
