As the system adopted by the Metropolitan Road has many interesting and novel featnres, we give below such an expia- ation of it as will enable the public to under- ‘and something of its distinctive points. The cars used are made by Stephenson, of New York. and are finished in the best style of that leading manufacturer. They are 12 feet 6 inches Jong, 7 feet 6 inches wide, 7 feet 5 inches in herght, (inside) and are calculated tor 16 passengers each; eight om a side. As there bas been some question whether a car ot this size could be run by a single horse, we may say that in New Orleans cars 16 feet long bave been run by a single mule. There are s‘eeper grades in Washington than in New Orleans, but as hill- porses will be used at Oapi- tol Hill and the Patent Office rise, there seems to be no doubt that cars of the size put om the road, and even heavier ones, can be pulled by one horse, especially ss the Gompany have supplied themselves with heavier Rorses than ‘were needed on the two-horse cars. For a day or two, until the cars are brought down to their bearings, they will be run by two horses. ‘The new car weighs about a thonsand pounds Jese than the two-horse car, which welghs about two tons. The cars are reversed at each end of the line. on a turn-table, and there is consequently Lo necessity for changixg the hore. In finieh the cars are very handsome, baving marquette covered cushions and linings; are paneled in solid curly maple, and are brass-mounted throughont. Silver- piated rods (for handles) are placed on the door and rear end of the car, for the protection of ladies in getting in apd out. There is no rear platform to the car, but its piace is sup- plied by @ convenient low step. The front | platform is exclusively for the driver, being semi-cirealar in form, and fenced in to pre- vent passengers seeking an entrance at that end. “Most of the accidents in connection with street cars arise trom paesengers attempting to get on or off the front platform: and this danger will be averted altogether by shuiting up the front end of the car. A strap overhead, farn- ished with loops, connects with a bell, to indi- cate to the driver tbat a passenger wishes to getont. Another strap, protected by acasing, enables the driver to close the rear door after | & passenger enters or leaves the car. ‘The feature of mostinterest. Rowever. is the novel mode provided for the reception of fares rithort the intervention of a cenductor. The is the patent of J. B. Slawson, of N_Y., and in connection with the one-horse car has been successfully introduced in New Orleans, Louisville, Cincinnati, Evansville, and New Albany, ‘indiana, Bridgeport, Ot. Iveston, Texas, and elsewhere. In New Orieans it has been in operation stace 1°61, and beroad there is the only tram-road in the Hed States paying a dividend of 20 er cent: the shares of $100, par selling y g2ib. The arrangement’ consist of an oblong box placed upright at the front ot tne ear inside the door, provided with glass windows, so that botb the driver aad passen- gers cansee with. The passenger on paying Dis fare advances to this box and ingerte the money, or ticket, as the case may be, through a brass trmmed aperture in the top of the box. ‘The tare descenas through a series of rar compartments (designed to prevent the money trom being extracted) to a disk where it rests. The driver sees through the glass face to the box that the fare is correct, 8nd pulls a spring letting the fare tall into an iron safe below, and the disk flies back. ready for another fare. The driver has no access to the money oF tickets in the safe, and when the car is turned in at night the ac- cumulated fares of the day are removed from the safe by the proper officer of the company. Should a passenger by mistake put ins larger amount than is due, it cannot be rectified by the driver, but application must be made at the office. "The box is lit up at night by a small lamp prepared especially for the par- pose. When a passenger enters the carshould he not advance to pay bis tare the driver sum- mons him by a bell to walk up to the captain's cffice and settle. Should the passenger not have the exact change, (seven cents) he noti- fies the driverby pressing down a brass plate he front door labelled “Change,” by which pressure a bell is rung. He pasces his money through the aperture to the river, who re- turns the change through the same aperture; the brass plate flying up in each case, after- wards toclose the aperture. By this means there is no neceesity for opening the front door in cold weather. to cbtain access to the driver. i'sbould be stated that ehange is always re- turned by the driver to the full amount; and itis managed as follows. The driver is supplied with a leathern belt containing % ve poucbes. In these pouches are sealed envelopes supplied with tickets and change in amounts from ten cents up to Sl. Thus, supposing a passenger to desire change for @ twenty-five cent piece, he passes it through tte “Change Gate’ to the drivsr, who returns him @ sealed envelope labelled 25 cts.” The passenger opens this and firds in it a seven cent car ticket, a ten cent currency stamp, and the balance (eight ceats) in nickels. At he passes a ten cert stamp to the driver for change he gets an envelope maiked +¢10 cts.,” coniaining & cer ticket and three cen‘s. The sys‘em is the same for any amount changed: but change is not given for eny sum above $2, On geiting bis ticker ard chavge, the passe: ger drops the ticket into the box, through the aperture above described. Tickeis in ages of ten for fifty cents. and twenty for $1 are also supplied in envelopes by the driver. A placard is posted conspicuously in each car. as follow: “* Passengers will please put their fare in the box, as the driver is not allowed under any circumstan- ces toreceive of deposit it. Change will be fur- nished by the driver, who will return the full amount, thus enabling passengers to put their ex- actfare in the box.” The cars yesterday, upon the first day of their trial, were well filled with passengers, 4nd eo mach satisfaction was expressed with the comfort and elegance of the cars, and the con ven ‘ence and ingenuity of the mode of fare- prying and receiving change that there seems to be no doubt that the new system will come into sAVOR, —_+—_—_ THe Prize Rimc—The “Mili” that did not Come Off—Departure of the Crowd. — Yesterday, Karney Mullen and bis brothers having left the ground on which the prize fight was to have come off. returned to this city immedt- s'ely on leaving the ring at 10 o’slock, and af- ter stopping a short time at Boyle's. near the cepot, took the 12.15 train for Philadelphia, and it is sald that the stakeholder, James Smith, as bis mame was given by some, and Frank Ulark, a8 given by others, left with ‘bem, @nd it is generally supposed that he has returned to Mallen bis beret if he has not given up the entire smount of stakes, $2,000, Dillon, accom ied by his friends, remained on the ground until one o'clock, as stated in the Sram of yesterday. expecting that the stakeholder would appear at that hour and deliver over the money, if Mullen did not re- turn to fight for it, as he had ised. Dil Jon remained on the ground a few minutes af- ver that hour, and retorned with several friends to Alexandria, where be had made his head- quarters at Terry Ryan’s, and last evening passed through here on bis way to Philadel- phia, where a demand will be made for the stakes. The afternoon and evening trains took, off nearly all the crowd who came on here to see the fight.

The iusti- tution of slavery. 2. Full one fitih of the children im the public schools here are sent by parents who, though resid- ing in this city and holding office under the National Government, claim and obtain per- fect immunity fromstaxation by virtue of cit- izenship in the various States of the Union, and in Europe. 3. About one-half of the real es- tate of this city is the property of the National Government, and is not taxed for school or other purposes. The taxable property has, therefore, the double duty of providing for its own and others. .4. While Congress has granted, in aid of schools and colleges in the States, lands worth, according to the report of Mr. Commissioner Wilson, about $100,000.00, not one cent has been given to aid schools at our national capital. One ot these obstacles to improvement in educational facilities has been Temoved; the other three remain, notwith- standipg which commendable progress has of late been made. There are now ninety public schools in the city, forty of which have been organized during the adminietration of the present Mayor, Hon. Richard Wallach, who was elected to the office in 1863. One of the sctool buildings was finisbed in 1851, and another pow in course of construction, at an expense of nearly $100,000, would do credit to any city in the Union. Several more similar Duildings are in contemplation to supersede the present inferior buildings, and to provide increased aceommodations. Seven thousand one bundred and twenty-one children were enrolled in the sehools during the past year, abont one- fifth of whom were children of tax- free parents, national office-holders claiming citizenship elsewhere. When the amount ot means to do with is taken into consideration, it must be admitted that the Board ot Trastees bave done remarkably well. They bave man- aged to keep school and political matters tho- roughly reparate. With the same means en- joyed by other communities, there is no reason why the public schools at our national capital should net equal any in the Union.” Sis ge MERtino oF THE MEDICAL Soctety oF THE DisTRicT oF CoLuMBIA.—Last night, the fif- tietM or semi-centennial anniversary of the Medical Society of the District of Columbia was celebrated at the Medical College, on H street, Derween 13th and 14th streets. About fifty members were present, and everything passed off with entire satisfaction. ‘The regular lecture was delivered by Prof. Wm. P Jobnson. who was introduced to the meeting by Dr. Chas. Nichole, superintendent of the Government Insane Asylam, ina few appropriate remarks. The able Professor re- ferred to the ancient renown of the Medical Society of the Districtof Columbia, and thought it was no doubt ihe most respectable, as wel: asthe oldest association of physicians to be found in the profession. The society, he said, bad assembled on this occasion to celebrate its fiftieth anniversary, and renew harmony and esprit du corps in the profession. A complete analysis of the numerous diseases of the day, and their successtal treatment, was then en- tered into, which was listened to throughout ‘with marked attention and satisfaction. Atthe close of the address of Dr. Johnson, the thanks of the society were tendered for the able and lucid manner in which he had ex- plained the causes and mode of treating pre- ‘yailing maladies in their incipiency. The members then retired to the large nall on the second floor, where a fine supper was partaken of. The society has on its roll one hundred and fifty names, embracing among its membership all'the prominent pbysiciaus of the District. ‘There are but two ex-presidents now living, (Drs. Hall and Borrows) and the last charter member Dr. Wm. Joner, died about three months since. Dr. Jones served as a surgeon in the United States army in the war of 1512 ard 1514. ‘The association is about to build a medical hall on the corner of Tenth and F streets, on the site formerly occupied as the St. Joseph’s Orphan Asylum, the property having been bongbt for the purpose at a cost of £25,000. The present officers of the society are: Dr. U. H. Lieberman. president; Dr. Wm. P. Johnson, first vice president; Dr. Thos. Anti- second vice president; Dr. A. F. King, secretary; Dr. Wm. Marbury; treasurer. pate eta Bask BaLL.—The game between the Joeffer- son club of this city and the Keystone of Phil- adelpbia, in the latter city, resulted in a vic- tory for the Keystone, by a score of 6 to 68, A match was played yesterday between the cond nines of the National and Olympics, resulting in a score of 36 1026 in favor of the Olympics.

Lawn was fined on the 19th iast., and refused to pay the same, and claimed the Tight to appeal from the magistrate’s decision to the courts. The magistrate denied the right of the defenaant to appeal under the law, ‘which gives the magistrate power, in case of Tefusal to pay fine imposed, to commit the defendant to jail for thirty days, or until the fine is paid “in order to have the question judicially settled, however, Justice Harper llowed the prisoner to remain in the custody of Major Richards, at headquarters, asa favor. until ‘be case could be brought before one of the jucges for decision. Lawn had also petitioned tbe conrt fora mandamus on the magistrate to show cause why he should not accept anappenl bond. The magistrata was backed tn his decision by the opinion of General Carrington, District Attorney. Judge Wylie decided that he could not go behind the warrant in the case, aud that the Prisouer was not regularly before nim. The Proper course to pursue would be for the de- fendant to pay the fine and take an appeal in the regular way; aud then the case could be beard regularly, and the magistrace’s docket be brought into the court. The Uourt could then examine into the commitment, and see whether it had been regularly made. Mr. L.G. Hine, counsel for the defendant, was anxious to have the Court hear the case and settle the question, on the ground that the delay would impose eerious loss on the client, whose house in the meantime would be closed by the authorities if the fine was paid. Judge Wylie remarked that doubtless the closing of the defendant’s house wonld bea serious pnblic loss, [laughter,] but that the course indicated would be the only regular one to secure a judicial hearing of the cause, the final settlement of which he deemed to be of considerable importance to the community, and therefore remanded the prisoner. ——_e—___ TEMPERANCE ITxMs.—Election of Oficers.— Howard Division, No.7,Sons of Temperance. atits regular weekly meeting held at Union League Hall, last evening, elected the follow- ing 8s officers to serve for the ensning quar- ter: W.
