Baker inquired whether there was any provision for paying the expenses of the last general election. Mr. Connolly answered that a special law covered that case, and he asked tnat the amend- menis be considerea seriatim. ‘The Chair ordered the readifg of the bill: | atter which, the report was read. | Mr. L. B.S. Miller moved that the report be | adopted. lar. G. W. Miller asked if this bill was a special act or not. ‘The President remarked that the adoption of the report did not pass the bill. Mr. Connolly moved that the report be con- sidered seriatim: and the first proposed amend- ment, increasing the pay of the secretaries of the boards to $1,500, was considered. The Chair remarked that he doubted whether the board could increase the pay without amending the law, and suggested that the board ~hould first amend the act. Mr.G. W. Miller said it the pay was pro- posed in & eeparate bill he would vote for it, but be could not vote for the amendment as it stood The recommendation ef the committee was non-concurred in, Mr. Connolly moved the adoption of the second recommendation striking out the ap- propriation for the Inspector and Superin- tendent of Sewers, and the yeas and nays wer called. M-.\..S. Baker said, in explanation of his Yor: “aye,” that be did so to show his utter decestation of that office, and was satisfied that the Board would ultimately vote for the ap- propriation. He suggested/that it would be best to vote for the appropriation, and put a protest on the journal giving the opinion ot the d on the creation of the office; but the question having come up in its present shape he was compelled to vote as he did. Mr. Cennoliy remarked that the time and peculiar circumstances under which the bill creating the office was adopted, went far to- wards making him doubt the legality of the office, and having such doubt he was opposed | to paymg nim. | r. Dulin said that the Surveyor should proceed to assert his rights, and not allow the Council to be embarrassed as it had been. The amendment was adopted—yeas i2; nays, Messrs. Ball, Miller, Moore, Slowen.

Ball, G. W. Miller, Moore and Nalley. i The fif‘hamendment increasing the appro- priation for ot expenses of the Coun- cil to $1.35) was c@mmidered. The Chair ugg a that thesum should be inoreased to $1,¢00. Mr. Tilley made @ motion to that effect. Dir. O. S. Baker suggested thut the Reading ‘Clerk for whose benefit 1t was proposed to in- crease this appropriation could be paid by the Board at amy time by simple resolution and that it was unnecessary to amend the bill in this particular, for the Aldermen would not concur in the amendment. He could nor see ‘why such a large sum was necessary. The Chair stated that if $1,200 was required by the upper Board a larger sam was neces- sary for the lower Board, as there were a greater number of members. He could easily see how this money will be spent, andhe re- minded Mr. B. that he himself nad asced for all sum trom this appropriation to pay for advertising for creditors ofthe Corporation. Mr Baker repited that the amount he asked for was the enermous sum of #26. It was uselees to make this amendment, as the upper Board would send it back, aud they would get the credit of reducing the expenses. Mr. Nalley said be saw no difficulty about eying the revding clerk. There was a ma- Jonty of bis friends in the Board, and they pay him what they choose by resolution. ‘Mr. Dulin remarked that nie object was to secure the paxment Of the reading clerk. Bir. Be: vggested that there was another appropriation trom which he could be paid. ‘Mr. Connolly said that last year the Reading Clerk was paid $25¢ out of the appropriation of $1,200, and it being proposed to pay the present clerk $400, the committee had recom- mended the increase to $1.350. Mr. Baker referred to former Councils making presents to persons for doing what i. was their duty to do. Mr. Dulin said, after the explanations he | nual was sausfled that the Clerk would get his pay. Mr.G. W. Miller moved to non-concur in the amendment; to. The sixth amendment, providing that the Tapper et Water Mains shall not exact fees of Property-holders, was agreed to. The seventh amendment, fixing the appro- Priation for police at $36,000, was agreed to— yeas, 15; nays—Mersrs. Ball, G. W. Miller, and Nalley. The eighth amendment, providing that the Corporation Attorney shail be qualified to practice in all the courts of the District, was Sgreed to—yeas, 14; nays—Messers. Ball, G.

The bill as amended was read a third time. Mr. O. S. Baker calied the yeas and nays on ine » that the record might show is paseage by two-thirds, but withdrew it. Mr. Beall renewed the motion, and the bill ‘was passed by yeas JS, nays v. On motion of Mr. O. 5S. Baker, the tax bill, ‘with amendments of the Aldermen, was taken up, and they were non-concurred in, with a re- Quest for & committee of conference. Messrs. Crocker, Pfau and Nalley were up- inted.

This bas been scmewhat thé case with Mesars. King & Robey, contractors for putting down a culvert on 10th street, running from New York avenue to the canal, the ground for which was first broken about six weeke sft After getting the ditch dug from the corner of Louisiana enue tothe mouth of ‘he canal, and every- thing in readiness for laying the circular brick funnel, throngh which the offal, and refuse substance of every character is intenaed to pase, a night’sdeluge occurred, and next di the whole structure was rumed, the banks caved in, and mud and water spread in every direction. The continuance of these rains for several days rendered operations on this cul- vert atterly impracticable so the contractors were therefore compelled to suspend. Forta- nately, however, the weather has become of a character fayoral for such improve- mente, and new there is ina heavy force employed in the fulfillment of King & Roby'’s contract, and it is their design to push operations as rapidly as posible. One square at the southern termi- nus bas already been finished, and a corps of laborers are at work on the second square, baving already dug to a sufficient depth to re- ceive the brick work. The improvement is to be executed by sections of abont thirty feet, and. as fast as one portion is Imid, the surface grading and flagging is to be replaced, in order to permit vehicles and pedestrians to piss above withont interruption. It is the intention of Messrs. King & Roby to have their contract fulfilled before the winter season sets in, if possible. ——-e REAL EsTaTE Saves —Messrs.

Newkirk was arrested yesterday for committing an as- sault and batiery upon E, Legore. and taken betore Justice N. H. Miller to answer the of- fence.

This Jed to an assault by bis competitor in the game, when he (Legore) applied to Newkirk, who was in the room, for protection. Assistance was promptly rend ut in a manner en- tirely at variance wi @ wish and expecta- tion ‘of the said Legore: for Newkirk, insvead o: taking sides with him, aided his adversary, in that he a Legore, violently ejected him from his heuse, and after getting outside com- mitted an assault upon him. At that time officers James E. Arnold and Edward Blewet, who were in a street car, observed the trans- action, and, jumping off, proceeded to the scene of conflict, and arrested the parties and took them before Justice Miller, who, upon hearing the tacts m the case, impoeed 2 fine of $15 upon Newkirk. He very promptly paid the same, and went his way rejoicing, ——— RELICS FOR THE « OLDEST INHABITANTS.” — Last evening at the sale of the library of the late Edwin UC. Morgan, by Messrs. J. T.

Rice is the carriage- driver. The door to the chamber occupied by the females has no lock to it, and a few nights since Miss Q. was aroused by the appearance in her room of Riee, but he gave as an excuse that he was looking for a lamp. Since then, betore going io bed. it has been Miss (2.’s habit to place trunks against the door; and nothing further occurred till last night, when it is charged the acensed forced the door open, stealthily ap- proached the bed in which ‘were sleeping the two girls, clasped both of Miss Quirk’s hands in one ot his, covered her mouth with the other, and was proceeding to consum mate Dis vile designs when, fortunately, his victim gave a Kick that aroused her compan- ion, Miss Manoney, and thereby frightened thefellow away. Uponhearing this testimo- my, the Justice committed him to jail in default ot 9500 bail to answer the offense before court. It is stated that Rice, a few days since, attempted toentice the young girl, Mary Maboney. into a cellar, doubtless ‘with the same inten‘; but she became frightened and ran of. ———_e—__.
