Mr. Given moved to 1 y stiikiug out “two” and inserting three” members of this Board. Mr. Elvans sid the whole of this thing was to make a job” of it for the benefit of an “old man of the sea,” a dieappointea bidder for the work, whom this Corporation could not get md of. The orizial committe had azteed to rac- ommend a plan, and now it was to be set aside for the ben: fit of particular persons, and to the d+ triment of this Corporation. He hoped the matter would be maturely considered before the commitwe is enlarged. Mr. Moore said the original committee bad made no award. A yery large appropriation— over $:te0— was contemplated, and this scheme was not for the benefit of any particu- lar person, but to reopen and fe-examine the pien suggested by that commitive. Mr. Turton thought some person had been to the lower Boatd to make @ * job" of it, and hence this resotntion to increase the committee, It was necessary to act at once, and hence he hoped, if this Hoard would yote to increase the committee, that they would do it without amending the Council resolution. The plaa adopted by the committee was the Bollman bridge. numbers of which were now in us? on the Baltzmore and Ohio railroad. Mr. Given's motion to amend was lost, and the resolution was passed.

Hongh, eharged with the compila- tien of the information collected during the re- cmt census {ken by the Mi itan Petice bes +ubm.itt @y report to Hon. Heary Barnard, (cmmizsiona Ot jueation, under whose di- recuen the census was taken. OW THE CENSUS WAS TAKEN. It was decided to make the enumeration as datiog f.cm the morning of Monday, November iJ, end as nearly 4s possible on that day. There we ecertain advantages to be derived this * iection of a period when most of the familios WLo spend their sammers in the country had returned, and before the approaching meeting of Congiess had affected the Sggregate totnis of pepulstion by the removal thither of large numbers of persons, t mporarily resident, and employed during the session, There could, perbape, be selected no time in the year when a census would embrace more nearly the true and acwal population of the Distriet. ‘1H D1 FFICULTIE® ENCOUNTERED, An obvieus diffienlty in procuring census returns in the method we adopted is due to the fact that in many femiles there are none ale to read or writ Without special assistance the «numerato:s would be delayed in making out the returns, and the District would need to be grratly reduced in size to eecure the prompt return disired, ‘TY remedy thie, as far as practicable in the prvrent cast, application was made through the proper channels for assistance by the visitors and agents of the Freedmen’s Bureau, and by the teachers of colored schools. Much valu- able avei-tance was freely and cheerfully ren- dered by them in filling up the blanks of those unable fo write. ‘The principal difficulty in procuring retarns Was uluimat ly found in a small class of per- sons of fair, and even finished education, who thonght proper te deny the authority ‘upon ‘hich the census was taken, or to charge that the bianks called for more imformation than wae smplied in the Lapse eames, store These persons in some cases returned the 7 without entries or with uncivil remarks. The enum» ray rs reported a few cases in which ap- Prbenstons ot conscription or other personal liability appeared to influence replies. Several diplomatic representatives of foreign countries, Teparding the census as a municipal inquiry not properly including themeel ves, respectfully returned the papers in blank, or with only the names of thore in their employment, while others *+ ported complete. The mmates of con- vents, after taking tbe religious vows of a nun, are seidom rrported in @ census, and are not retarned in this, In thirty-three eases only Was there a refusal to fil the blanks or give information. In referring to the matter, Dr. Hough says: “I cannot too highly commend the zeal and intelligence with which the police force, under the direction of Major Richards, accomplished this labor; and our public acknowledgments sre due both to officers and men for the ener- getic and thorough accomplishment of the duty, without promise or expectation of ad- ditional compensation so far as I am informed, and with no other motive than that it was an order. ‘The confidence with which the citizens gave in a descriptive list of their families, with ho penalties for non-compliance, and perhaps, to some extent, with no requirement beyond that implied in an official request of the civil authorities, is equally worthy of commenda- tion.”” COMPARATIVE RESULTS OF PREVIOUS CENSUSES The following table shows the growth of the District, the population of the part now under the jurisdiction of the State of Virginia, and in- cluded in the city and county of Alexandria, being deducted from the aggregate reeulte: White. “Colored.

Of brick houses there were then 925, of which 50 were one story, 654 two stories, and 221 three stories. Of framed houses there were 1,113, of which 314 were one story, 534 two stories, and 250 three stones. wing the number to have been the came at the time of faking the census in the summer of 1820, we find the number of persons in a house to have deen 4.05.

It is quite probable that these per- centages are too low, aud that many buildings included in the returns had no inhabitants, MILIEG.

The Purim prize masquerade of the Voncor- dia Association last evening, at their rooms No. 3°5 Pennsylvania avenue, was a very selec’ and pleasant affair. The Concordia Associa- tion is composed of a number of our most es- teemed citizens of the Jewish faith, and their rooms, which are handsomely fitted up. are a favorite place of resort. A short time since it was decided to hold a Purim prize masquerade, and cards of invitation were issued. Messrs, Charles Herzberg, Samuel Heilbrun, Charles Baum, and J. Jacobson, were elected as the committee of arrangements, and succeeded in making the party a most agreeable one. Great credit is due to them for the admirable manner in which the affair was The recep- tion committee, Messrs. J. Seigel, L. Lansburg, and Jul. Londheimer, were also very attentive, and did all in their power to contribute to the enjoyment of the company. The costumes at tracted much attention, many of them being very elegant, A number of quaint and humorous characters were well represented which created much amusement during the evening. “The Pass. over Feast,” was well represented by Mr. A. Bauer as the «head of family,’ Miss F. Goldman as the “mother,” Mr. Ed. Goldman &s the “son,” and Miss ©. Bauer as the «daughter, “Elijah, mounted on a Donkey,” by Mr. Moses Bauer, was the cause of much laughter. Among’ the other cbaracters which aitracted attention were the +Fat_ Boy,” by Mr. L.

Pursuant to a public eall for 8 mass meeting of the Republicans of the city of Washington, “to consider the eeming election, the new char. ter, consolidation, the Washington canal,” &c, about one hundred white and colored men assembled at Woodward's Hall last night, aad were called to order by A. Watson, white, on whose motion J. H. Crane was elected chair- man. J. V. Given, colored, was chosen Secre- tary, upon the nomination of Dr. Wm. Boyd. “The stated, in opening the meeting, that it might be asked why this meeting was held without the endorsation of the Central Associa- tion? The President of that association, when called upon to make a eall for the meeting, had lied that be would not do so, because he (Mr. Crane) wonld come and create a distarb- ance. He wonld say that he was a Republican at heart, and while he would express his opinions, yet he should always respect the sen- timents of thore Republicans who differed with bim. After further remarks he submitted reso- Yutions: “That we believe in the right of free discus- sion of any and all questions that may come before the American people; that we honor the Union Leagues of the land for the brave work they did in the dark days of rebellion, but re- gret to see these organizations in certain quar- ters trying to control the Republican party of this city, and forestall its action by secret means; ihat we believe it to be for the highect interest of the of this District that the {wocities of Washington and Georgetown, and the county of Washington, be consolidated in one corporation, to be known as the city of ‘Washington, and we recommend and urge the adoption of such a measure, believing it would enhance the value of real estate throughout the District, and promote the convenience and gen- eral welfare of all its citizens; that among the several bills that have been presented to Con- gress for the future government of this city, we Tegntd the one Known as the Harlan bill as the best calculated to satisty the wants of the peo- ple, and we urge its immediate adoption, with An amendment cor:solidating this District in one Orporation, and that the offices of ‘judge of pro- bate, register of deeds, register of wills, and street commissioners be made elective by the people: ‘hat the conduct of the city authorities of Washington in withholding the salaries from the teachers of our public schools is a burning shame and disgrace to our city, and merits the severest censure. If longer persisted in, we hope Congress will take the matter in hand and compel those who are responsible for this de- linguency to do their daty or resign.” Following the reading Of the resolutions, Mr. Crane to address the meeting at some length in favor of dicussion, universal freedom, consolidation. &c. He referred to a Republican meeting held some time since, with- outany public notice, when, after three or four ineffectual attempts ‘on his part to speak, he said he was fiatly insulted. It was not ‘his Purpose now to be spiteful or vindictive, tor at the meeting over which he then presided the freest discussion was invited, and should be tolerated. “The spenker then adverted to his connection wjth the Union League Association years ago, and said that so long as there was any necessity for their existence they did their ‘work most gloriously; but now their labors were Rt an end, and, so far as this District was concerned, the organization was only kept alive to catch colored men and throw dissension in the Republican ranks. The League was based Bpon a rotten foundation, and was nothing but the spawn of Know-Nothingism, and all other horrid isms. He said that they were holding secret meetings thronghout the city, and in one ward at least nominations had been made. Edward Ambush, colored, (interrupting.)— I deny the aspersions against the Union League of this city. They have always work- ed openly and above board. Mr. Crane reiterated his assertions, Thomas Lewis, colored, inquired whether he considered the Declaration of Independence a rotten foundation. The Union League «was founded upon that great document, At this point, Mr. Crane stiJl maintaining his standing posture, and vainly endeavoring to speak, Edward Ambush called tor the reading of the resolutions. After they were read, Dr. Boyd moved that they be adopted, in order to bring them fairly before the meeting. ‘Mr. Crane again essayed to speak. He said the League was enticing colored men into their organization soas to get the control of affairs, and if their efforts were persisted in the Repub- ican party at the next election would be de- ted. He would not submit to it. The Re- publicans needed more courage and stiffaess in the knees. He closed his remarks after frequent interruptions, by recommending the endorsa- tion of the Sumner District Charter bill, into which he thought consolidation should be in. conporated. Watson thought the Union League at this time was oply active at the South. In this city and at the North the association was how of no use: bet it could not be dispensed with at the South, Edward Ambush objected to the remarks of Mr. Watson, and thought if he could not name any ward in which nominations had been made by the League he had better bold his tongue. ‘Mr.Watson replied, that he had heard that in the Seventh Ward the League had beld secret meetincs and made nominations. J. V. Giveus, colored, defended the Union League, and denied that it was based upon a yotwn foundation. He branded the assertions of Mr. Crane as uuierly untounded—without a scintilla of truth. In Richmond, Va., on next ‘Wednesday night, he said, there would assem- ble two thousand Umion’ Leagues, who, as s Rnit, would act with the associations of the forth. Dr. Boyd attempted to when motions to adjourn weremade and the reading of the resolutions were called for. The Doctor perse- vered, and said be would be heard. He did not manufacture padlocks for other people mouths and none should be made for hin. He said he was a Union League man. A voice.—It’s not so. Dr. Boyd said he would not discuss the secre. sy of the League, but was interrupted by Hen- Heimber, whereupon he inquired of Mr. H if he did not know it was impolite to interrupt & gentleman while he was speaking. At this juncture a half dozen voices called for an adjournment, and the Doctor was asked if he would yield the floor. With defiance in his eye he maintained his position and emphat- ically replied “No.” No man who interrupts me is worthy of being yielded to. He repeated the remark that nominations had been made by the League in at least one of the wards, and such had been accomplished by fraud. About the right of Republicans to call a meeting he would say that any body of them had that right when and where they chose, withou‘, as he said, first asking a few old women or some of the ‘male nincumpoops, who were afraid of their shadows. Mr. Heimber inquired if Dr. Boyd did not go tothe President of the @entral Club and ask him to call a meeting, and whether that gentle- man did not tell him he would call a meeting if there was a good reason ? Dr. Boyd explained, and then proceeded to speak of some place in illustration of the dis- orderly proceedings of the meeting, when the inquiry was made, what country is that ! Mr. Given —Flunkeydom. Dr. Boyd attempted to speak further, but was compelled to discontinue because of the uproar and calls for adjournment, &c. ‘he question was asked what the meeting was called for? paid tor the The Chair replied that he had hall out of his own pocket, and if geutlemen did not like to remain they had better leave. Thereupon a number left. Mr. D. R. Kelsey made a motion to adjourn, and advocated the same ian earnest manner. He characterized the proceedings of the Sev- enth Ward Republican meetings as a disgrace, and the present one as of the same stamp. The fewer meetings of like character that are held, he thought, the better. In conclusion he re- newed his motion for adjournment. ‘The Chair.—That motion can’t be entertained. 1 bave paid for the hall, and will insist upon full discussion, Justice N. H.

Mr. James McKinney suggested that the con- stitution be amended by striking out the word “workingmen's” in the name of the Club. He suggested the name of “First Ward Democra- tic Club,” or “First Ward Anti-Radical Ciub.” ‘Mr. T.H. Hagerty moved that the Club here- after be known by the name of “First Ward Democratic Club,” which motion was carried. ‘Upon suggestion of the Chair, an election was bad for five delegates to the Central Democratic Association, resulting in favor of Walter Drury, J. H. Hagerty, Louis Brennan, Nicho- las Callan and Chas, Griffin. ‘Mr. Emerson being called for addressed the club in advocacy of Democracy. Mr. Dennis Donivan followed, saying that white men had that day called on Gen, Michier and asked him for work, which they could not obtain in consequence of tae colored mea mo- nopolizing it all, from two to three hundret having been sent there by the Freedmen's Bu- reau, to work for $1 per day. He compared the resent with times past, speaking of the «xor- tant prices exacted for everything, and say- ing that Congress was to blame for itall. The value of property would decrease bere in con- sequence of the adverse legislation of Congress. Those who remain here 12 months longer will have to make war in defence of themselves au | their kindred and against Congress, The Freed- men’s Bureau he termed the greatest incubus that ever existed on the face of the carth, and ‘were he talking to General Howard he would protest against paying taxes for the support of the infernal negro. 11 he were the Bonaparte of the present age he would imprison this Vou- es ° Gol. James R. O'Beirne addressed thes club, saying that the First Ward had been run auto debt in consequence of the last change in the cily government. It is manifest, he said, that the next election will not be characterized with so much indifference as was the Inst. The men now governing the city rode into power almost ithopt oposition, and baving arrived at power, remained in office month after month without the qualifications, Some of them to be q purchased city property which nota month afterwards reverted to its former owners. The conclusion arrived at by these men is, that if they can control the negro votes they can retain their power. He said be had known colored men to go to these men and ask for bread and work, but they were met With the reply that they had neither for them, but they would see that they had the use of the ballot. The present city government, he said, is owing to the inactivity of the Democrats. i would not do to neglect having their names registered because they were obliged to stand in file with colored men. Speaking of General Michier, be said he had been disappointed in getting the necessary appropriations made by Congress, and he was ob!) to place the price of labor at $1 per diem, so as to make the money gous far as possible. He thought the General &@ gentleman who would do all in bis power to aid the poor. He certainly was the best abused man he knew of. Mr. Donivan attempted to reply to thase Inst remarks, saying that he meant no reflection upon Gen. Michler, when he was called to or- der by the Chair, and the meeting adjourned. pe DEDICATION oF A MONUMENT.—The Old Co- lumbia Fire Company are making arrange. ments to dedicate the monument erected 1a Glenwood Cemetery to the memory of Bsn).
