H. Crossman (white) presiding, who stated that the meeting had been alled tor the purpose of hearing the report of the committee appointed to make arrangements for the Republican celebration on Friday night. ‘The commiiiee, however, were not present in sefficient numbers to make a repor, and, if if there was no objection, he would continue the same till some future time. and authorize them to proceed with whatever arraagements ‘were proper in order to secure a creditable turn out. Un this subject some of the members express- ed great inclinatioa to make 8 big di=play with bannere, music, &c.: which elicited from the Chair aa appropriate inquiry, where tne money ws to come from, aad how muck would they who are so anxious for this show be wil- ling to subscribe? Mr. Neidham (white) sec- the views of the Caair. and suggested tbat it would be necessary to pay down the money before the band would move a step. He then c.ted in support of his position the para- graph pubiished in the Stak yesterday atier- ROOD, about the colored Good Templars who started for Richmond, bnt had to turn back be- cause they could not raise the money to pay the fare inadvance. A simple fite and dram, or a cheap bend of music, which could play Yan- kee Doodle” or “Coming through the rye,” and ‘would not charge more they tea doilars for their secviers, would, be thought, be sufficient. At was fiualiy agreed that the commictee should make their arrangemeats as ecoaomically as porsible. ‘The Ubair inquired if there was any other Dusiness to transact? If not, a motion for ad- ment would ve proper. ‘Mr. Needham begged, before adjournment, to give notice that menbers of the Lincoln Co-op- «rative (colored) Building Association were ex- pected fo come forward at the next meeting prepared to pay their dues On motion of Mir. Burnes, (colore+,) instruc. tion was given that the various colored church- es sbould be requested to announce trom their ulpits at the meetings held therrat that the wih Ward Kepablicans are expected to meet at the colored church on the coraer cf Fourth and L streets, at 7 o clock, Friday night, to join in the celebration. An inquiry was msde of the sexton what he charged for the ball for the meeting that night. He replied, $2.50. Mr. Barnes (colored) took Geeided grounds im favor of repudiation. It ‘was ridiculous to make such a charge for the use ef tbat room and two dim lights. Iu fact, he was opposed to paying anything at all for their meetings. All the churches should be ‘willing to g.ve them the free use of their build- ings. The Repablican party was the party of the colored people. A voice—It is indeed ridiculous. I will fur- nish aroom for anything the club chooses to pay me. If .ehy raie a quarter for me, all right; if they give me nothing, its just the me. ‘The pressure proving quite great against the sexton, he abated the price to $1.50, which sum ‘was subscribed. ‘The meeting then edjourned for two weeks, ‘at which (ime Mr. Crossman suid he would ea- deavor to get a speaker. —_—___ Sorprers aNp SarLons’ Ustox.—This or- ganization held a large and enthusiastic meet- ing last evening at Union League Hall, Major ‘Williaw siorse in thechain H.T.

Tat trom and after the of this resolution no more so-called temperance preaching shalt be permitted in the market- houses and public street, on Sundays nor week days. Mr. Jueneman urged that the resolution should be adopted: that every member of che Council were being abused by these so-calleu rempersuce men who are not able to wake care of themselves, who uphold ihe Corporaiiou.

The following report on we ‘dunaf was sub- taitted to the Board of Common Councit tast night WASaINeToN, Sept. UM, E6°.—To the Mayer) ‘ n and the Board of Comsame ‘ ‘Gratiemen: Tae accompanying pan bo papers are copies of m Teiating to the unl Buretoiore sabmitted to Congress, which weve refered to the Committee of the House nm tue Disiriet of Columbia, where they nad 5 atention as lea yes no doubt of approval, iiot appears to 4 now required to induce vss tO grant what is desited is corre- ding action om the part of the city author- y adopting this plan abundant means may = cured to complete the cagal in a most victuctory manner, without eost to the Gen- tral Goverument, and with bat little cost to the ciry. Its main feature consists ia straicht- tning the canal between Seventh street xad Maryland avenue, py which the lene: of that Partof ‘he canal and its streets will hort. ened t69 feet, thus adding some 247.5% feet to the surfce area of the Government reser tions, besides improving their form, and also that oi the canal It is proposed > devote the cround that may thus be saved or acquire’ by the chance im the canal t ts defraying the expenses attending thy ‘wakine of the change and to complete the dredgic and other improvements on the entire lege: of the canal. Conzress appears to be \i\ posed to authonze this change wheaever the ity aut ask it, and give reasonable assurance ila: the much meeded work shall be property por- formed. Heace tae importance of a o. examination of the plan and pape and of early action on the purt Conneils, Alter seeing the destructive effects flood of the 2éth of July iast on the lives a property slong inadeqaace channels in Bal more and elsewhere, it 1s ely tha. the advocates of arching our canal, and of at- temp'ing to confiae its flow to a culvert of some tweaty fee: in width will pe urging such costly, dangerous, aud it ticable schemes, It has Leen ascertain actual m-asuremeat that the quantity of water flowing through the canal on that day in Opposite directions from th» Tiber would beve burst up three sewers of the above named dimens.ons, notwithstandiag the river s very low, and the ude was at its lowest ebb at the time the flood in the canal was the highest; thus fo.ming a fall or declivity in the usual dead leyel of the cana! of six feet in the distance of one #nd a half miles, That is, from the middle of its length towards its opposite ends. In umes of high water in the river there conld, of course, be no such fall in the canal, or culvert placed W.hin it. At such times the tudes would nearly fill the culvert, which would leave but litle space for tue flood water of the Tiber and of the numerous sewers of (n= city Under such circumstances, six culverts of the foregoing dimensions would hardly suf- fice to carry off the quantity of water flowing juto the cinalon that day, and tuat was mot the greatest flosd that bas been Known in this city. In view of the foregoing it is not difficult to Tealize that to construct @ substantial culvert of sufficient capacity to be safe in all respec:s. would cost ten times as mach as to make the canal completely navigabie, and to wall it in the best manner. It is eqnally plain that the annual cost of removin & covered cul vert the great quantity ofsand and grayel th: would wash into it, would be ten-fold greater than that of removing the sam= quantity from an open canal by dredging. Furiner, the cul- ert could yield no revenue, while the caral might soon be made to yield fifty thousand dol- lars a year, besides saving at least $1().000 4 year in , The open canal, with a constant flow through it of a large yolume of comparatively pure water, such as we shall have as soon as the canal shall be fully opened and dredged vo the depth required for navigation, will form the very best ard most efficient sanitary agent, greatly saperior and more salutary iu itseflects to that of a close arched culvert. For open and rapid flowing weter will not emit offensive gasses. On the contrary, itis the most perfect sgent known for purifying the air, while nox- tous gaces are rapidly generated within closed ulverts and sewers, especially when they he, the canal culvert does, on a nearly dead level. The gases thus generated are very dela. trious to bealth. Some of them being exceed- ingly volatile, their tendency is naturally upward, pressing through every opening into the streets and into the dwellings connected with the sewers by means of imperfect house drams, thus poisoning the air of the streets and of all the dwellings into which the gasses can by any means penetrate. ‘The evils arising from such causes have been so fatal in portions of Loudon and other Euro- pean cities, as to induce engineers of eminenes tofavor the formation of numerous openin im the sewers for the tree pe and diffusion of the gases into the open air, rather thau ‘o periit them to concentrate in closets and in the dwellings generaily. They regard ‘the exist ing eewers of some Of the towns a5 a vast sys- tem of subterranean retorts, so arranged wat the fiu'as passing through give off ue largest po-sible volume of gases, which are caretuily collected: and then, by means ot chummey pipes, dior the house drauis serve admirably unat purpose.) conduct them into we very heart of tbe dwellings. Hence that faint cickening pol- sonous odor, which seems almost omnipresent, biackening paint and table silver, and proclaim ing, by all sorts of signs, the terrible fact bat truly death is im the air. Tuis volcano of te ver-damp. more pestilent than the firs-damp of acoal mine, is thet which makes portions of the most elevated parts of tow 2 very un- healthy. The mere abode of in ny caused by the constant presence of the powerful us- sence of filth generated im tio sewers and forced uy wards Amore pernicious device for inflicting alf these evils cn a large scale, aud in an aggra- va.ed form on all the most elevated paris ol the city of Washington, could hardly bs de- vi.ed, than that recently recommended by ove of the Regents of the Smithsonion Institute, and by a few others, that of baving the open canal changed into close covered culvertand to have ihe sewers pass over it, extending southward, necessarily on a nearly dead level, tothe Potomac. The culvert and the rewers, from Pennsylvamia avenue southward, would brcome more or less filled with the flood and tide-water of the river, which ris- ig and falling with the tide, the depressed culvert and sewers would form a vast sys. tem of retoris for the rapid generation of the WOXIOUS gases: ALG a great Lydraulic and pneumatic engine combined, of immense pow- er, kept in constant operation by the rising and falling of the tides, in collecting and forcing pwards into the streets aud dwellings great quantities of the pestileutial yases, forcing them as by powerful pumps through every opening, through every crevice, and through + Very part of the sewers or house drains that could be made to yield to the pressure. But the vicious defects or taults of this plan sre be. lieved to be too obvious to require further at- tention, and, aside from its great defects, its «Mormous cost must forbid its adoption. ‘The latest conclusious, by the most distin. gulehed European engineers, as to the best means for overcoming the formidable evils alluded to, appear to be that an abundant supply of water should be used by means of whichthe foul matter may be removed from sewers before fermentation and the generation of the celeterious gases can take place. This seems to be a rational conclusion; but unfortu- nately, in London, and in many other cities, an adequate supply of water for suc purposes 1s not easily attainable, Here in Washington, however, there is no euch dilficukcy. As set forth in former communications on the sunject. more than halt of the water of the Potomac ight be used for such purpuses; by which ans ull the sewers Jeadi the canal 1 might be kept in a condition of almost perfect purity. And when the caval shail have been straight- ened gud dredged to its full depth, and other- wist improved, as contemplated, the flow of water through that duct will be in Such volume as will prevent any odor or deleterious gases urising irom that source. By these means all the sewage will be rapidly borne cut beyond the bounds of the city, where the open air and the great quautity of water with which it will become diluted Will prevent any dangerous emanations from it, The location of this city is tar mere favorable for the rapid removal of the sewage from it than that of most other ci ies. 1Lis pear the head of tide-water. The yolume ef the water of the Potomac is so great, and its tow #0 rapid Above and near the city, as to preponderate over the tides, by which tne sewege once carried out is’ prevented trom being returued to the city by the incoming tides. Briefly, in view of ail that has been said on this sulycet,and cf all the light shed upon it by science and exjrrience, it is believed that no better plan for improving tle canal can be de- vinea than thatelmacy adopted some two years azo, atter long and earnest deliberation by both Boards of the Councils, aided by several of the most practical scientific engiueers, And the mens for completiug the work se-ms now to be e sily atta‘nable. It appears to require only & brief request from the city authorities, ask- ing Congress to pass the bill now before the Committee of the House for the District ot Co- Jumb's, and an assurance thst the mens pro- Vice for in the bill shall be faithfully applied to the purposes intended. It is respectfull; submited t0 the Councils whether thie sbi not be dowe—and, by way of earnest, that the dredging should comny at once. HK. SEveuson, Engineer, In charge of the Cana!

The cornets or irumpets Which were sound- ed on the New Year were not those of silver which had been made for use in the Taber- nacle, but were made of rams’ bora, a memor- ial of ihe animal which was offered instead of Issac when Jehovah tested Abraham’s faith, and the anniversary of WBich event is on the New Year, ‘The day is also called a day of memoriul be- cane at the close of one year and the cem meocement of the next all mankind shouid bring to mind their actions of the pas:, and atvrasolemn review of faults and frailties enter, as it were, anew ito @ covenant with his Maker, the great King of Kings, Oreator and Governor of the whote Universe. ‘The new year also commences the ten days iten ce, the last which is called “Yom Ki- pury” or day of atonement, The services are of ihe most solemn and impressive character, and even the lukewarm Israel te alwxys anites ‘with his brethren in the faithfal observance of the “Day of Memorial. & Yom Aipur, or fast of atonement, commeaices on Friday evening week, at 8 o'clock, and closes with all-day services on the following Saturday, These services will be of the most interes..ng in the Jewish calendar, and dout- Jess will attract large crowds to the synagogues who are not of their persuasion, —_.—_.
