Henry Himber, Thomas Martin, David Jackson, Albert Grant, Thomas Cross and Capt. Hurley were chosen a com- mittee to wait on the Mayor and City Coun- cils, and to protest against a proposed reduc- tion of wages of Corporation laborers. ‘The Chair stated that all that was required was work, and he thought that that object bad been folly attained. abe Mayor was in favor of giving out as much emptoyment to the poor people as possible, aud was truly their iriend, Thoms Cross inquired if auy memoers of the Boards of Altermen and Common Qoune:l bad Supgested that the wages be cut down; aud Bpon being answered in the ailirmative by Mr. Hunter, who said that some of the members of the Board of Aldermen hid proposed a redac- tion of Waxes, proceeded to argue ag cin Astep asa persecution. and ope whic not be submitted to. The expenses of living in the winter were far heavier than ia summer, and he could not see the consistency of cutring down the wages at such aseason.

Several days ago, it was understood among the members of the Counctls that yesterday with the Mayor they would pay a visit to the Washington Asylum, to inspect and seehow it was being conducted by the present intendant, Mr. Joseph S. Martin. It was intended to sar- prise the Asylum officials, and in consejuence of the snow ‘storm prevailing yesterday a sur- prise was occasioned all round; Mr. Martin Ding surprised by the visit and the visitors thal they Were so few in number. Councilmen Taylor and Chase were present at an early bovr in the afternoon, and later, Aldermen McUathran and Talbert, aad Councilmen G, +! W. Miller arrived. Some tne wae spent in the Intendant’s office in social converse about the aflairs of the imsit- tadou snd some of the mmates, and it was learned that at present there are 35 males and #4 females im the almshouse department, and 27 males and if femates in the workhouse—mak- dng 170 inmatesinail. Lactaded in this number ares boys, (bWo Tepreseutalives of the press— new boys). The Uity Fathers were then escorted through the battding, visiting and carefully inspecting oruoh, and conversing with the ima'e=, portion was found to be in an ex- gly meat and cleanly condition, parsicu- larly the apartments cecupied by the women of the Almshouse aepartment. Two old females of revolutionary times—Aant Polly, colored, and “Granny Atmore,” white, each supposed to be one hundred aud twenty years of age, and who, from their statemevts, appear to have been acquainted with each oiber in Maryland during their young days—receiyed especial attention, Aunt Polly was essaying to but, as may be supposed, made bu! little , nd the stitches were few and far between Granny Atmore seemed to be a little more *prighily and active in the same occupation. At was remarked, too, that the babies were ex- cerdingly healthy looking, and not a tew were very handsome. The cooking apparatus ap- Peared to be defective, but, with the bakery adjormmg, worked by Mr. Grant, is in nice order, ‘The following are the officers of the instita. Joseph S.

THE Lovpon awD HAMPSHIRE RaILRoaD ecTION.—The following is the preamble and resolution introduced by Mr. Miller in the meeting of the stockholders of the Loudon and Hampshie railroad in Alexandria on Thurs- y, and which, after debate, was referred to the board of directors: ~ Whereas the people of Washington and Georgetown are desirous of forming a connec- tion with the Alexandria, Loudon and Hamp. ebire Railroad Oompany for the purpose of participating in the benefits of the trade which is now brought over the limited extent to which i is now advanced, sud will, when this road 1s completed to the coal fields inHamn-hire county, take a full shard in the product of those mines, end the blessing of cheap fuel; aud Whereas, there hxs been already expended in its construction millions of dollars contributed by the government aud people of Virginia, it may teasouably be required that these two erties should pot oply turnish the fatl amount of capital necessary to coustract a branch or branches io connect them with our road, but that these cities should also make a tion to the cxpilai stock of this company in its extension westward from the town of ‘Leesburg; be it therefore “Resolved, €r., That the President and Direct- ors be, and they are hereby directed, upon au- thorizing a branch or branches from road to connect with Georgetown or Washington, or with both, to ascertain trom ther corporate antborities what amount they will subseribe to the stock of this compe, beyond the amount epeseary to construct the ch or brauches, and re! the same toan adjourned meeting of the ders to be held on the —— day of ——, 1869.” Several stockholders spoke in favor ofthe Tesolution, Among them the mover, Mr. Miller, who said Be wanted to let wn know stringe, ‘twas pitiful, twas wondrous pitifui, that people should be poorly clad, whea Says Co. were selling Goods at immensely low .
