It was entitled to due consideration, and he regretted that he could sot, with his present views, indorse the views thervin set forth. Congress would not stultify itself at ‘this time by taking away the right of suffrage alto- eether from the people of the District. He would row introduce a resolution of instructions, and would tke this oecasion to announce bis belief that Universal suffrage in our local affairs was abumbug.

Mr. Noyes then submitted a minority report from Committee on Improvements. [The m:- jority report, sigued by two of the committee, Wats presented two weeks ago.] In conclusion, thepninority report, presented by Mr. Noyes, says “The assessments have been madeon I street, € ar m accordance with the acts 53. and May 24th, 1553, as has been other instance, except what Coue in dividing the whole cost equally along the whole line of the whole work. In the opinion of the undersigned, the arguments in the report of the majority of the committee falix to the ground, because the circumstances and facts in the case do not meet. In the assessment of the work on 1 street, there has been no assessment for resetting the curbstones and repairing foot pavements. There has been no intersections of Streets, or opening d to the property, all bas been charged to the ward fi dd. There was no line of foot ly the same thing was d in every street paved during th stnct accordance with the law. the law and of May 23d, 1863, referred to in the report of the committee has no bearing on the se. The only objection that ean possibly be made to this aesessment, is that the whole ex- pense of the work was equally divided along the line, which in no way conthets with the act ot Congress, and is indeed the only proper ad just mode of assessin cost of the work iris too Inte now that almost all the usses<- ments have been paid to make a new assess- ment, such a thing is impossible to do.” Afier debate, the question recurred, Shall the bl pass, notwithstanding the objection of the Mayor?and the yot« resulted as follows: Yeas— Messte, Grinder, Moore, and President (Barr)— ‘ays—Messrs.

The primary schools were the key tw the whole system of education, and competent teachers Were more necessary in the lower grades than the higher grades. Pupils should be thorouzhly taught in the rudiments. and it required a thoroughly competent teacher. He pro that the teachers of primary schools should receive $80, increasing to $90. Mr. Piau ‘said that his friend (Mr. Arrison) had bit the true philosophy of teaching, and stated that a friend of his had found in Bertin the best and most accomplished teachers in the grades of schools. Mr. Clark contended that at present what Was proposed by the bill was the best they could co. Mr. Arrison said if there was any item on which they could be extravagunt it was tha: in regard to schools. He urged that he had taken the proper course, and this reform in edueation could be commenced now as well as any other time, r. Connolly argued that the bill goes as far asthe Co:poration can afford, and the senti- ments of the people demand. — It should be borne in mind that scholars could not be pro- cured here to teach at the rates they could be procured in Germany aud other European countries. One reason why better twachers could not be employed steadily was because of the smaliness of the salaries. Mr. Crocker differed with Mr. Connolly. stating that without increasing the amount, the bill might be made to conform somewhat tw the views expressed. The difference between $1,800 and $700 was too great, and he would propose to cut down the first figure to $1,600. T Was too great a discrimination made between the male and female teachers, After some further debav the bill was re- committed.

That is: I will build a better bridge for $17,250, which 5.750 less than is asked for the other, and which is known to be defective, and which I will show conclusively, if desired, before such committee as the president: may appoint for in- vestigation and for considering my proposal.” Mr. Piaw read a commun ssid w auon, Yitich he from a gentleman himself a bidder, not go round and try to infl * committer, It was trom Wm.

Mr. Pfau remarked, that if the bill was re. ferred to the Committee on Canals, he would not object. The bill was referred to the Canal Committee, and the Board adjourned. ————— Tur DistRicy iN Conoress.—Mr. Ingersoll introduced in the House yesterday. a bill sap- pl mentary to the act incorporating the Nations!

The questions at issue were freely talked over before the opening of proceedings, the advocates of each side being so generally distributed about the hall as to baille all cticulation with any- thing like accuracy as to the predominant sea- timent represented Ata few minnies before 8 o'clock, Mr. Joseph L..

There was no time to lose, and it we wait for 2 week Congress may thiuk us trifling, and pass one or the other of the bill= which bad been presented Mr. Hyde withdrew bis motion, and the meeting then adopted 4 motion for an adjourned meeting on Wednesday night. Dr. C. H. Cragin being called on, said the r olutions which bad been offered did not um with bis approval. He believed that the wel- fare and prosperity of Georgetown might be materially enhanced by consolidation and union with Washington, for various reasons. In the first place, there was no more reason why orgetown should have an independent gc Thment thin that each of the respective ward- of Washington should, the maintenance of which greatly increased the expenses. It true, that local management was more s#tisfic- tory, but thea it was more costly. Benefits would accrue from consolidation. By aunexa- tion, our merchants would only bave to pro- cure one license. which would entitle them to do business im Washington, while now two are required, which throw restric- our amount of ependent pray that inasmuch govern local ‘, the repor ing resolutions were offered by Mathews, as an amendiaent to the a committee of three o he chair to ask of Con n Upon all pending bills re. nour mode of government his town can, by & speci make known their wishes in wuacay tions upoa trade. Here our mark too small, and by the chan would be enlarged without audi The consolidation of the two ofmutual benefit. Again, Washington being ¢ capital of the nation casts Georgetown off from many advantages which would be enjoyed werr shea part of the same Corporation. If any au tagonism between thé two places arises 1 is be- cause Washington is the capital, and Wa ton had advantages because of the special lezis- lation in her favor. References had been made by the opponents of annexation to the hea debt of Washington, but when we consider the difference in population, and that the de getown is upwards of S while Washington is less than on lion, it will be seen that the debtot Georg is much the greatest of the two. By th: solidation of the two debts the burden of pay- ment would fall much lighter upon town. If Georgetown was a part of Wasting. ton more influence could be exercised w Congress in obttining appropriations, anc mission for the removal of many o! to our prosperity, and we would oif ments for sec joyed. If apart of Washington t be no hindrance to the erection of ings in Georgetown. Congress would ox the improvements of the capital would be given the unemployed: our be heights would become more desirable, ducements would be offered to resident Aker Was unable to see how an- Washington could in any way operate to the Injury of Georgetown. Mr. Wm. H. Tenney said he bad lived in Georgetown over halfa century, and was too old now to favor changes. Georgetown would in nothi) by annexation to Washington Fue proposed aluvations would convert two cities into one, the Teasons for which, as sei forth, Was not tall satisfactory to him.” It had been argued that only one set of liceuses would then be required to do business in. both places but this would not be the ease, for in Washing- ton distinct licenses have to be obuined for each market: and for cart licenses one license would now answer, as the two corporations reciprocated in this matter. It was next ar- |. by the advocates of annexation, dat it ‘would becheaper tolive under the sam gov- ernm: nt. This was also fallacious. As to the Morrill bill, the non-enactment of that was a toregone conclusion. Congress would never put iu the hands of five Commissioners the power which had been yested in one hundred and fifty thousand; it would not take awa: self-goverument. The pce had en of such legislation in the Metropolitan Police Board, and would hardly sanction any other move of like, or worse character. As to the ad- vantages Georgetown would derive from thr erection of public buildings; he would like to know how many public builaings there was in the First Ward of Washington. None that he knew of. ‘Mr. Hyde (interrupting) said thatthe Presi- dent's House, Treasury, Navy, War, and other buildings were in the First Ward. ‘Mr. Tenney was suregthere were none this side of 1th street. At the present raie of im. provement Georgetown would soon be fur ahead of —— He then referred to the cusiom-house Jarge appropriation for erection of @ bridge, to prove that Congress not been unmind{ul of the interests of George- town.
