BoaRD OF ALDERMEN, Sept. 23, 1367.—The Onatr laid before the Board a communication from the Mayor, stating that he had approved certain acts for street improvements origina- ting in this Board. Also,a communication from the Mayor returning, without his ap- Proval, an actentitled “An act authorizing a Modification of the grade on the south side of one square im the 5th ward.” The Mayor “This act authorizes the Saperintende Sewers, Carriage Ways. and Foot-Pavemen's, at bis discretion, m laying the foot-payement Sud gutteron the north side of East Capitol street, between Fourth and Fifth streets, to make a slight depression In the grade at the corver of Fourth and East Capitol streets, and pavement and gutter intended to be de- pressed is already laid and made it is too te to execute the act.” Laid on the table. Aiso, communication from the Mayer enclosing one from Thomas Z. Hoover. making certain propositions for the conveyance of parties to the penitentiary department of the Washing- ton Asylum, and the remains of all deceased 5} for interment im the Almshouse grounds, which the Mayor recommends for early consideration of the Board. Mr. Hoo- ver. in his communication, proposes to make a contract for two years with the Corporation to carry all persces sentenced to the work- honse, and deliver to the Asylum all persons who procure the proper permit, and deliver to the Potter’s Field all the pauper dead, (except contagious diseases.) for $2,401) per annum, payable monthly. ‘The wagon which he pro- Poses to use would be made eecure. The in- side has two cells, consiructed so as to move the partition when there are no female prison- ers. The wagon, or “Black Maria,” to be in- spected by the Board before use. He proposes to call at each station-bouse, ry morning, at whatever time the Superintendent of Police may direct, the driver to report in the atter- noon to the Snperintendent of Police for fur- ther use, if necessary. The papers were re- ferred to the Committee on the Asylum. The Chair also laid before the Board the fol- lowing communication : “COLLECTOR'S OFFICE, City HALL, Wasu- ineTon, D. ©, September 2th, 1-67:—To the Honorable Board of Aldermen of tne city of Washington, D. C.—Gentlemen: 1 have the honor toacknowledge the receipt of a copy of a resolution passed by your Honorable Board on the 16th instant, calling upon me to furnish “a statement showing the amount of money paid during the fiscal year ending the 3th of une, 1967, for advertising the property of de- linquent tax-payers, due and in arrears for general and special purposes, and to whom paid.” Iam mformed by my immediate pre- deccesor in office that the amount of money jd, a8 aforesaid, was nine thousand dollars, par ‘and that the same was paid to the publisher ot the Evening Star newspaper. 1 bave the honor to remaim, gentlemen, very respectfully, your obedient servant. A. G. HALL, Wollector. Referred to the Commitice on Finance, Also, the following communication William Dixon, Esq., late Tax Oollector: Gentlemen: I have r ad with surprise the commnnication of the Uollecior of Taxes to your Hoard, in response to a resolution passed by said Board onthe 2d instant, requesting a statement of the amount of general and spe- cial taxes in arrears due and unpaid on the 30th ot June, isé7. The Collector disclaims any intention to reflect upon his immediate predecessor; but, in fact, the whole tenor of the article is such a reflection. What are the real facts? Some $30,000 are estimated as che arrearage for personal tax. Of course this ex- tends over many years, but an msignificant from | sum per snnum when the amount ot per- sonal tax for our entire clty is considered. Bat @ small amount of this belongs to my administration. A large proportion of this average is in assessments of small amounis. Determined effort has tzen made ¢9 collect this by special agents ata compensa- ton of seven per cent. The deathjand removal of parties to a great extent made it impossible. Previous tayghe late acts of Congress conter- I suffrage in this city, the Collec- ed to furnish at the polls a list of the voters who were sssessed for personal taxes, and to require the payment of Such tax before voting. This means isnow abolished, and it remains to Le seen whether the present Collector wili resort to the:-distress” law, which clo.bes bim with toll power for its collection. but which bas been universally disregarded by former incumbents of the office. The amount of arrearage on real estate is compar- atively small A jart of this is because of the impossibility of obtaining proper descriptions of the property. Of course such property could not be legally advertised and sold. Very much of thereat has been advertised er and over again. and as o.ten offercd tor sale. The tax could not be realized for want of bidders. The suspicion of failure, as to et. fort 10 realize, should be set at naught by the bare mention that @ compensation of six per eent was allowed on all taxes coliected by advertisement and sale. Self-mterest alone would lead to effert to secure this. The general charge is made of «confusion in the accounis of the office.” I have simply this remark to make: If the Collector will bring a little care and ordinary intelligence to bear. he will, ere long, find everything clear. Allow- ance Must be made in view of tne fact ihat he and his associates have not as yet become fa- miliar with the details of the office. I had flat- tered myself thar my clerks were highly com- petent men, aud that the administration of the Collector’s office during my term had given general satisfaction to the tax-paying public, imasmuch as I had never heard any complaint from that source, or, inceed, from any other. Lt will. I think, be very difficult for the pre ent Collector to make the pcople believe that there is anything in bis assertions beyond the ery of “cleansing out the Augean stables,” usually made by persons newly electsd to office. In this cace his very landable object of obtaining an increase of compensation stands out clearly: but the means are, 1 think. un- worthy of bim. I certainly would be pleased to see ihe Collector receivea liberal compensa- tion. I think & contrary policy narrew and injurious to thé interesis of the city, but 1 re- gret that such @ mode should be resorted to, to secure the same. If any improvement can be secured in tbe system of accounts hitherto tol- lowed to such advantage in his office he will do well. Very respectfuily, Witiiaw Dixon. P. S. lt will be perceived that tne above communication was prepared some ten days ago. It would have been laid before you at your last meeting. but for a promise made by the Collector to correct the erroneous impres sioxs mage by him in his letter. w.D. Mr. Eivaus moved to lay the communication op the tab! Mr. McCatbran called for the ay: ud noes on this motion, when the Board retueed to lay iton the table by ‘he following vote: Yeas— Mesare. Elvans and Richards—2. Nays— Meesrs. Given, Grinder, Lioyd, MoCathran, Moore, Noyes, unease Tait, Turton, and sident (Barr)—10. Pine communication was then referred to the Fipance Committee, and ordered to be printed, Mr. Turton presented the petition of Michael Doyle, for remission or a fine; referred to Ciamms Committee. Mr. Lioyd presented the petition ot George McGregor, for remission of a fine; referred to Committee on Claims. . Mr. Moore introduced the following : Resolved, That the Register furnish this Board a statement showing the amount paid to this Corporation for licences by commission mercbanie, and hawking and and by whom paid for the past twe years: Mr. Noyes presented the petition of Norment and others, for the condemnation of 4p alley in square 53, 2ccompanied by a bill to grade, and pave an alley in said equare, in accordance the prayer of the petitioners, and the bill was i Mr. Grinder moved 4 reconsideration of the vote by which this Board refused at the last Meeting to agree to the report of the Confer- ence Committee of the two Boards on the tax Pipe Chair stated that the motion was not in order, as the bill was bot now in possession of the Mr. Elvans moved that the ‘of this Board be requested to ask the lower for the return of the tax bill from that Board. Mr. Moore by thatthe motion would not prevail, and read & written §| b, in ib hd be ssid that bis sttention bad cal a ular article in one of thé organs al party, in which is arraigned th Board in regard to the com a tion of the collector of taxes, Mr. FOr ceeded at some length to denounce the pepe in question, in every of language ksown to his vocabulary, people’. efort amny D sensi ta ee man Elvane poke ak ot ihe YMtocts) to gefend tbe Action of this Bos! Mr oer eating 1B rejecting the re. port of the Uonference Commitiee, and his extended notice of a newspaper article. He spoke of bis own amendment fimiting the sal- ary to $5,0.0, which this Board voted down, and the statements of gentlemen now, that they are willing to allow the Collector 6 thousand dollars. There must be so terior object im this inconsistenc: eq the bill back on the table to test the sinceri- ty of the members here, by a proviso to the amendment allowing one and a-half per cent.; that the salary of the Uollector not ex- ceed $9,000), out of which three clerks shall be paid, leaving him less compensation than gen- tlemen say they are willing to allow him. 1f they choose to assume the responsibility of de- feaimg the bill they can do so. The object of the friends of the amenpment was to allow the Collecter as much as his predecessors had received, but they were willing to limit the amount of compensation to $500 or $1,000 less than gentlemen say that they are willing to aliow the Collector. Mr. Given also spoke of the article in an evening paper as being upjust tothe Finance Committe ‘of the last , that political preference or feeling guided that Committee in reducing the compensation of the Collector. He was opposed to putting this matter of compensation as'a rider on the tax bill—let its triends bring in a second bill. He was oppos- ed to any compromise whatever. Let the ra. sponsibility rest, as the paper he referred to said. where it properly belongs, which in his opinion was on the lower Board. If the Uol- Jector was so unfortunate as not to receive sufficient remuneration, he had been elected Sfter the per centage was reduced. He (Mr. Given) disclaimed being a party man. If the iriends of the Qollector wanted to raise his pay let them bring in a bill for that purpose. Mr. Richards was sorry to see this opposi- tion to calling back the bill. Only one vote was made in the committee of conference against their report. gentlemen who say t! are putting themsely oo strongly. He did not like this disposition shown here, and it wae perfectly useless tor gentlemen to disclaim party spirit while they acted in such an uncompromising apirit. Mr. Noyes favored the recall of the bill, in order to see if some agreement could mot be arrived at. The people were daily sexing when the tax bill was tobe passed. He had dozens of such inquiries every day, and he doubted not the same was the case with every other member of this board. The credit of the Corporation was suffering seriously by thece- lay, and creditors and employees were sut- tering tor want of their money. It seemed to him that @ serious responsibility would rest upon these who stood in the way of effecting an egreement between the two boards. The provico limiting the gross or net amount of tbe Collector’s emoluments ought to satis: those who profess to fear that his pay will reac! too high a figure. Mr. Moore said the proposed compromise amounts to nothing, as the Collector could re- ceive all the fees and emoluments provided by law even if the amendments are adopted. Mr. Elvans eaid if gentlemen are willing, as they say they are to allow the Collec‘or $4,500 to $5,0/0; then it they accepted his amend- ment to limit the salary to $9,000, he (the Ool- lector) would have to pay three clerks ¥4,200, which would only leave him 34,500, which he supposed the Bosra would be willing to allow him! Mr. McCatbran was willing to test the sincerity of the lower Board by accepting thus compromige, but he did not believe that Board would limit the compensation to 24,510. Mr.Given said there was no compromise aboutit. The law fixed the Collector’s salary. ‘The friends of the Collector were inconsistent. They advocated economy and reform, and spoke at the ward meetings of squandering the public funds by ihe members of the old Boards, aud yet the Common Council seemed to havea mania for raising salaries. The Col- lector could at any time go ito Court, and claim the full amount allowed him by law rerardless of any compromise made here. ‘ir. Elvans said the gentleman had again misstated bis proposition. He did not propose to Innit the salary to $4,500, but to pay the Col- leccor 1), per cent. aud limit his compensa. tien to $9,000, office expenses to be paid out of that amount ‘The vote was then taken, and the Board agopted the motion to recall the tax bill from the lower Board by the following vote:— Yeas— Messrs. Elvans, Grinder, Larman, McCattran, Noyes, Richards, and President, ‘Carr)—7. " Nays — Messrs. Given, Lloyd, Moore, Talbert, Tait, and Turton—A. Mr. Given, from the Committee on Finance, reported the Jollowing substitute for the bili changing the manner of collecting special taxes: “fe itenacted, dey That from and after the Passage of this act, all taxes assessed on private property for the constraction of sewers, the paving of carriageways in avenues or streets, and for the laying of footpavements and gut- vere, and curbing, shall be collected as fol- lows :—One-fourth of such assessment within ibirty days after the eervice of the notice by the Collector of Taxes; and the remaining ubree-fourths in three equal annual payments; for which deferred payments it shall be the duty of the Mayor to issue certificates of in- debtednezs, bearing interest at the rate of ten per cent. per annum; and it shail be the privi- lege of any person or persons thus indebted to redeem said certificates at any time before matarity. “Sec. 2. And be it further enacted, Thatall acts f acts inconsistent with the provisions act be. and the same are hereby, repealed.” Made the special order for next Monday evening, and ordered to be printed. ‘The bill was objected to by Mr. McCathran, and advocated by Mr. Elvans and others, when the Board voted on & motion to postpone consideration of the bill for une week, and print it, with the ollowing result: ‘Yeas; Messrs. Given, Grinder, Lloyd. Moore, Tait, and Turton—6. Nays; Messrs. Elvyaus, Lar- man, McUatbran, Noyes, Richards, and Pres- ident (Barr,)—6. So the motion did not pre- vail. Mr. Tait moved an amendment that tbe paving of public alleys, shall be paid for m the same way as the other special taxes enu- merated in the bill. Agreed to. Mr. Moore moved that the bill be made the specialorder for next Monday and printed, and on that motion called for the ayes and noes. The ayes and noes were called resulting im a tie as on the former motton, but previous to tae announcement of the vote, Messrs, Elvans and MeCatbran changed their vote to the affirmative, andthe motion to postpone and print, was therefore carried by a vote of yeas =, nays 4. Mr. Given, from the Committee on Finance, reported adversely on the petition of the Si: tere ot the Visitation, asking to have certain property purchased by them exempted from wxation, and committees was discharged from its further consideration. Also, reported Council resolption authorizing the Mayor to sel, certain hay scales ig the Sixth Ward, WItD sn amendment excepting from sale such parts of the hay scales as may be nececeary in the construction of the new scales.

The Board having agreed to reconsider the vote rejecting the report of the conference committee, Mr. Moore said that the Aldermen ‘Were now in this fix, that they have before them the report of the committee of confer- ence, which could not be amended by any such proposition as that offered by the gentle. man, (Mr. Elvans.) After farther disgussion, it waz agreed to Tecommit the matter to the conference com- mittee, together with the amendment proposed by Mr. Eivans, which was as follows: ‘Provided, That the entire emoluments of the Collector of Ta: for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1567, ehall not exceed nine thousand dollars, which amount shall include all ex- Penses o1 the office; and all reveipts of the Col- lector, tor and on account of commissions un- Ger this act, in excess of the said amount of Dine thousand doillare, shall be deposited by him in bank to the credit of the General Fund. Mr. Noyes moved that when this Board ad- journs it be until to morrow evening, at nalf fen #even o'clock, the Board of Common ouncil having agreed to meet at that time. He made the motion, tie said, in order to expe- Gite the passage of the tax bill. Mr. Given opposed the motion. Mr. Elvans was surprised to hear the gen- tlemen who had talked about “‘tighting it ont on that line if it took all Summer” opposing the motion. Mr. Given said he would reiterate that as- sertion; and to defeat the proposed legisiation ‘would meet and fight it out every nightexcept Sunday until the close of the session But he did not think becaose the other Hoard bad ad- Joarned to go to aserenade that ve should meet on Tuesday night to accommodite them. Mr. Noyes said the motion had nothing whatever to do with the adjournmeatof the other Board to go to the serenade. 1t was of- Jered because the ad@fourned meeting of the lJower Board would afford an opportunity for ameeting of the Conference Vemmitee, and action could then be bad in both Beards on the same night and some result arrived at. The moicn to adjourn until )-merrow night was then lost by the folloving vote: Yene, Messrs. Elvans, Grinder. Larman, Lloyd, and Noyes—5. Nays. Mesar.

Mr. Elvans moved that when the Board aa- journ to meet it be until Thursday evening nex!, at half past 7 o'clock. Lost. Mr Tait introduced ‘he following: Resolved. That those inembers of ne Beard ‘who desire to ventilate their politica opinions and 88 topics Rot connected wit corpor- ation affairs, Fhall bave. permission to meet twice each week for ‘he above parpae. Pro- vided notbing in relation to corporaton mat- ters shall be discussed. Motions weg sever- ally made to refer the resolution to be Uom- miitee on Draivage, tbe Committee on Im- provem: bts, and (by Mr. Noyes) to he Com- wi'tee on Gas, but before a vote was Bken Mr. Tait withdrew it. Mr Ricbarde introduced a dill making tt lawful for owners of real estate to erect iron Tailings :n front of their dwellings five feet from the building line. Referred to he Com- mitree on Improvements. Mr. McCathran introduced a resohtion re- questing the Mayor to direct the Conmission- erof the Washington Asylum not b confine juveniles in that institution with hardened offendere. Adopted. Several bills from the lower Board were re- ferred. Council Froviding for continu- ous sessions of the two Hoards until certain business is disposed of, was laid on the table. Adjourned.

On Friday last he received a proof sheet of some book-work, and the Mayor informed him that work must not be ordered for that office witheut bis epproval. He is convinced that it was for the Mayor to approveor disapprove the bill after the work is completed, before a check should issme. As he understands the Mayor, the Register must submit a memo- randum ot what is needed, and the Mayor will order the eame: also, denying the Regis- ter's office any contingent fund. The language of the law 1s: *Fcr contingent expenses for the Mayor's, Register’s and Collector's offices, dollars.’ Under this state of facts, he suggests that a clause be incerted in the gene- ge appropriation bill, “For contingent ex- penses of the Register’s office, $7), £0 a8 to wake it separate and distinct from the contin- gent expenses of the Mayor's office. It must be conceded by all parties that the new work will require a larger expenditure that it did Jast year, and the office requires more printing thau any other Corporation office; referred.

General Pope replies that the militery bill gives him the right toset aside any law of the State which comes in conflict with the mulitary bill. Orders 53 and 55 were igsued by virtue of power vested m him by Congress. He considers the jury orders necessary to the execution of the reconstruction acts, which became laws in the manner provided by the Constitution. As the question of constitution- slity bad been presented to the Supreme Court, and that tribunal has decided it had no jurisdiction, the further consideration of that question by subordinate military or judi- cialofficers is scarcely admissible. General Pope concludes by requiring Judge Reese to carry out his orders. Judge Reese, in a second letter, goes over similar ground as at first, arriving at the con- clnsion that be cannot conform to General Pepe's orders, but shall continue the duties of bis office as heretofore till prohibited from doing so. Geveral Pope then requested Reese to resign, which he retuses te do, but considers his letter as a positive probibition against the further ex- ercise of judicial power. Mexice.
