GxORGETOWN CoURCILS—Board oF ALpgr- M&S — At a regular meeting of the Board heid last might, (Recorder Peck in the cbair,) Mr. Davis, trom the Joint Selett S:anding Com- mittee, to which the account of Mr. Newman, Mtreet Commissioner, bad been referred, subs mitted a report setting forth the amount he had received, and recommending that the corporation pay to him $57, which is still gue. Subsequently such a resolution was drawn up apd adopted. The Recorder, ‘0 whom bad been referred the petition of Mr Kratft, for os to his premises and property by a submitted an ad- yeree report thereon: which, on motion of Mr. ‘Thomas, was referred to the Common Uouncil. Council resolution providing for sweeping out tbe market-house for six months. which had | been amended by the Board of Aldermen so as ke an Appropriation ot $75, instead of $%, d which Amendment was not concurred in by the Council, wastaken from the calendar, Common Counctl ordinance ‘story of an ordinance relating to the duties of the Tax Collector for 1868, which or- dimance provides for publishing the tax list in ‘BNING STAR before he shall be permit- ted to make any public sale of property, and which ordinance had been vetoed by te May- or, Was, on motion of Mr. Davis, Inid on the sule. Mr. Davis offered s resolution author- zing the Olerk to have printed in pampblet orm as sooa after the close of the December session of eacb year as practicable the laws of the corporation, providing the expenses thereof shall not exceed sed. Council resolution authorizing the Clerk of the Corpor- ation to have publisbed in the Ey esinc Srac he laws of the Gorporation, the cost not to ex- eod S244, and which was laid over al the last 5 illea up, when Mr. Broaaugn obmitted tue tcliowimg preamble. «Whereas, che course pursued by the editor of the George- OWN Courier during the recent national politi- the uller wantonness wita which the Republican party: and wherr erditor of the said paper having been lecently Rominated to the Seuate o States for an important office, any rt of that would be to that extent, by a fair construction, amencorsmentot that paper. Theretore re- solved, & Mr. Thoms hoped the pream- ble wouid not be insisted on as a couplet to the Tesolution which bad been passed by the Coun- cil. Mr Newman also objected. as be could ot see how it was in any way genaaine to hesabject, The language in it, he said, was a Personal attack upon Air. Magill, the editor of the Courier, for legitimate criticisms upon the political measures of the country. So far as Mr. Magill’s course towards editor publican party was concerned, was no part of the duties of the Board to take exception to it. He had a right to his opinion, and it was not proper to make bim the suflerer tor it. It was beneath the dignity ot the Corporation to pass such a preamble. Mr Davis could not see how the dignity of the Cor- poration could be lowered by the passage of the reamble. It was nothing more than Mr. 1 shouid e: atthe hands of the Gor- poration. and besides the printing could bedone as neatly and cheaply in Washington. T! course of Mr. Magill, he thought, bad been ceedingly reprehensiole, and he regretted the fact very much; for personally he thonght a great deal of him. Some of the articles, he said, ‘which had appeared in the (ourier with reter. ence to pubiic men were ae vituperstive as any- g published im the fa (risa Democrat. Mr. Thomas was in tavor of continuing the publi- cution of the laws in the (ouri-r because it was & Georgetown institation, and every effort should be made to keep whatever was to be done athome. As to the epithets which it was had indulged in towards public men and measure:, such things were tolerated. Did not the Srar useequally as bitter language towards the Democrats! Mr.Newman Moved to strike out all of that portion of the recolution which appertains to Mr. Magill's Romination to the Senate for an office. Mr Hill thought that at this late day it was out of Place toadopt the preamble which had been Oftered, apd for many reasons hoped it would be withdrawn. It had nothing to do with the resolution, Which ip itself was sufficient. It was well known that he was oj acts, He {lt pained to have to vote to take the printing of the laws from Georzetown. bat <ti!1 the editor of the Courier deserved it, Mr. Bro- paugh thereupon withdrew the preamble. when Mr. Thomas moved that the name of the EVvgNING STAR be etricken ont, and that of the Georgetown rier inserted; Jost. The ques- tion then recurred on the passage of the resolu- tion, and Mr. Thomas demanding the yeas and adopted by the followmg vole — rs. Peck (tbe Recorder), Davis, Hill, and Bronaugh—4; nays—Messrs. Thomas and Newman. The Council having refused to recede frem its non-coweurrenc? in the amend- ment of the Board to the resolution providing for sweeping the market house, and asked a committee of conference, the Board agreed thereto, and on its part appointed Messrs, Newman and Thomas. Savsequently the committees met, and after a sbort con- jerence agreed to & Teport with slight amenaments, but in substance the same @s the original bill; which was agreed to. Common Council ordinance levying taxee for tbe year J£69, was objrcird to by Mr. Taoma:, who thoagbt the per cen‘aze aliowed the Tex Collector rather exorbitant In this course he Was Dot actuated from any personal feeling butsimply for the interesis of the corpora. tion, He moved that the per centage provided ior in the bill. which was four per cent.. be re- duced to three per cent. Mr. Newman though? the motion of Mr. Thomss sbon}! not pass, as UF Was Bot a princely one. He moved to amend by inserting three- and-a-balf per cent. Tne amendment was ac. cepted by Mr. Thomas. Mr. Hill expressed him-eli as unprepared to vote upon the bill at that time, anc boped that it would he !atd over: but subsequently withdrew his objectiou, and hoped the amenament would be detested.” Mr Davis also opposed avy reduction of the per | centage st this time, and hoped the amend- ment would not pass. He thought that this Was noi the time to reduce the income of the Tax Collectos: but at some tature ume, and | under certaia circumstances be would be will- ing to yote for a reduction of the per centage. The question was then called for ou the mendment of Mr. Thomas, sud upon that mo- © be (Mr T.) asked for the yeas and nays, im erder, as be said, that the public might know who are im favor of increasing the taxes of the citizens.
