THE PRIVILEGES OF MEMBERS OP CONGRESS, Mr. Woodward called up his motion to dis- miss the case of A. P. McKenna ys. William Sprague, on the plea filed a few days since, that the defendant was at the time of the issu- ance and service of the writ, and is now, a member of Congress. The plaintiff sues the defendant on a -bill of $306 for services as a gardener, on which there are credits reducing the amount to $125. Mr. Woodward cited the case of Judge Underwood, of Kentucky, ia Story, and based his motion on the 6th cianse of the 5th section of Article ist of the Constitu- tion, which exempts members of Congress trom arrest in the District, except for a felony, breach of the peace, and treason. Mr. Hine, for defendant, contended that this was a common action of assumpsit, and that members ot Congress were not exempt from being summoned to answer such suits. Judge Wylie said thatan arrest was not con- templated in this case, that a simple summons only had been issued: and it would be remark- able it a member of Congress could come here, carry on business as other parties, and be ex- empt from being sued. It had been ruled that members of Congress were exempt from suits for debt because suits were formerly commenced by capiss, but the writ now is simply a sum- mons to answer, the law having been changed in 1563. If the Constitution exempts a mem! of Congress arrest, it did not exempt bh property. Ifa disobedience of the writ would have been followed by attachment, he would hot so rule, but such is not the case, and we motion to dismiss he would overrule. Mr. Woodward asked and obtained leave to file a plea at the next rule day. Crisixat.

Council ion in relation to the extension of Stoddard to Hich street, was read twice, when Mr. Thomas offered to amend so as to strike out the words “chairman of the Committee on Streets” wherever they oc: and insert «Street Commissioner.” ht it impolitic to continue the opposition which bad beem begun against the measures adopted the Common Council. It would bring the two Boatds into conflict, and so retard the passage of important bills as to materially affect the interests of the Corporation. He hoped the amendment would not be adopted, Mr. Thomas replied that in his action as a member of the Board he should always be gov- erned by what he conceived to be his duty, without regard to the wishes of any member of the other Board. He had not been re-elected to the position he held as a politician, and would never consent to serve as such; the only public bogie ay which he entered the canvass at the last election was the market-house, and upon this he squarely stood, and gegen wate bynes tellow-citizens. The whip of the Coun- ciLhad been cracked over him, both in private cemversation and official legislation; but he would not be swerved from his duty. Mr. Hill, in reply, said that if he bad playfally used the expression of “cracking the whip” of the Council, he did not mean it, The gentie- man (Mr. Thomas) bad siated that he was no fey peel but, according to his (Mr. H.’s) idea, had proven himself to be very much of a politician and a partisan; for he had made ita int to oppose everything that the Council ad proposed. It was notoriously known that the tunds of the Corporation had been equa. dered in perfecting improvements of the place, under the administration of the Commissioner of Streets, and now he wanted to transfer these duties to other hands, He came here to protec! . the interests of Georgetown and would do so. Mr. Davis opposed the passage of the ordi- nance. After which the yote was ta\en, and the amendment was lost by a tie yote, the Pres- ident voting in the affirmative. Mr. Hill here objected to the action of the Recorder, because he did not think that he had a right to vote, except incase ofa tie. The Recorder contended that he was to all intents and purposes as much a member of the Board of Aldermen as any per- son duly elected thereto, and quoted the ‘act of Congress in support of his views. The third reading of the ordinance was then objected to, und therefore the subject lies over. The reso- lutica of the Council, providing fora change in the’corporation printing, by which the pa- tronage was to have beat taken from The Georgetown Courier, and upon which the Standing Committee ofthe Board of Aldermen at the last meeting rendered an adverse report, was then called up. Mr. Bronaugh spoke in opposition to the adoption of the re; yocated the passage of the origin: 3 Mr. Thomas advocated the adoption of the Committee’s adverse . He was not pre- pared to suppose for a moment that this poor representative paper (the Courier) had so much attention paid to it as to be complained against by Congress, and was sure, if such was the fact, that the members of that body exercised themselves more sbont it than did the people of Georgetown. It was not his purpose to defend the course of the paper, but would inquire whether it was dignified ‘and proper that the Board should come down to its reland give tt for tat. Mr. Bronaugh did not think Mr. Thom- as had taken intoconsideration the fact that the Courier was regarded as the organ of the town. and that therefore the support of the Board would be is oe as an endorsement of its sentiments. He (Mr. B.) would like to sustain the paper, but could no! taken, and the report rejecting the Council res- olution was adopted. the resolution stands rejected. Mr. Davis submitted a resolution re- questing the Commissioner of Streets to inform the Board why the improvement of 7th street, as ordered, had not been compleied; passed.
