The tered and fostered by the of Virgipis util the calamituous war, by which, tbe State subscription of $600,000 was lost. They bad in past years brought the road before the public of Washingtow, ana were yet anxious Wat a coppection should be formed with the District. They had last years exiended the road 7 miles further, to the town of Hamilton, and were now anxwwus toextend it to Winches- ter and tap the richest county im the State, which would require 81.60.00. At this point Mayor Kowen entered the room, had wes called to the char, Mr. McKenzie continued, saying that the Toad had cost $2,000,000, and had but little in- debiedness, $42,000 of mortgage bunds ont. There was no road in better condition. Now, they proposed that the.people of Washington should become partners in this road, Loudon could throw in immense supplies of produce, and Clarke County bad rich iron ore and copper, and the agricultural productions were behind no other counties. Last year the receipts were $72.00, and had they not been building an extension wey could have paid the in the interest on $30,000,000. He recollected when the Baltimore and Unio did not pay her interest, but now sbe had « capital of $27,000,000 and was bnilding roads in all directions, and aiding the Orange and Alexandria road. The difficulty was tbe Alexandria and Lougon and Hampsbire bad but a tew friends, and when a man Was asKed to take stock he prefered United stares bonds. He suggested that the city could ubseribe. stating that be understood that the t ent of Washington amounted to (00, and the present would amount 0 eR corrected the last figure, say- ang that the present assessment would shew about $7,000,160. Mr. McK. continued, saying that the city was so much better able to aid. He had not come here to beg. but baving understood that the citizens desired more railroad connections, he bad requested this conference, The road should be opened to Winchester, and be suggested ia ver to the Chair that it ‘istrict would the road the people of V: init would raise Say SOOO. Cragin said there was nothing the people getown were more interested in than |, and were ready to ask Congress for on to Subscribe SHALO0 as ber share, vr to ask it in connection With Washiagton. They desired the c ration of Washington » this matter, and the latter had most interest, Georgetown Wanted the wheat and corn, and Washington supplies for a great city of 139,000. This road connects with the great center of the coubiry, and if constructed, and the zoble river and bsrtcr were improved, a large trade will pring up. We bave been asicep, and all owed tuade to go elsewhere, but now we are waking up, apd meant to set. The cities as corpora- ons should subscribe, and if no divi nds are paid, the benefits would be feltom the preperty and the laboring population. Grorgeiown is willing to make individual subscriptions of $30,400, which was more than their share, but they were willing in view of the benefits. He moved that a committee be appointed to draft re oluigons in relation to the road. Mr. McKenzie said he was obliged to his itieud Dr. ©. for bis remarks, and be would say if encouraged, there Would soon be brapebes run into one or the other of the cit or bow. He read @ letter from Moorfield, V to sbow that the pcople there are alive to the benemis of railroads, expressing the pelief that the counties on the line would tax themselves to aud im the construction of the road, and sug- sects Wat in the direct route to Cincianati the A_L.& H road coula be used. Mr. Tenney did not know that the appoint- mentot a committee would not bring us any uearer to the point. They could not wor in a public meeting, and be doub:ed whether the amount could be rsised by private subscrip- tion, and the Corporetions should aid then. This was a through road, and the only one which could compete with the Baltimore and Ubio riiroad monopoly. He would make the assertion that the population and wealth here BOW Was as much as that of Baltumore when the Balt-more aud Obio road was commenced Georgetown was ready now when the point of connection is screed upon. Caain Bri brea suggested, and the Aqueduct. He under- Stood that the engineers bad selected the Uarlia Spring route, and that the president objected to this route Mr. McKenzie said that be had not, but the engineers thought it was too tur up. The question of the connection was oue for the en- gmeers, and be would leave it to them; and even if the connection was within two miles of Alexandria it could be arranged to make the freight and produce the same to Alexan- dria ss to Georgetown, and giveber an equal ebance. Mr. Tenney continued, saymg that the ben- efiis of this road would be felt by the three cities. Alexandria would take the coal,George- town the grain, and Washington would have a Jarge portion of the prodace. It was ot the neighborhood of the d in which the busi- ness is done.

The Chair led attention to a bill mtroduced by Sena.or Conness im relauion to eight boars, aud sug gested that the Assembly might urge the pas- sage of an explanatory bill. Mr. Beron said that the Avorney General bad given an opin. jon on this bill, and that he was sure “the in- coming Administration would decide on the law. Mr. McCathran urged they should ask for an explanatory act, and the law should be car- nied out througbout the land. The great fizbt had taken place, and all were satisfied with the result, but mot with the manner in which the aw 1s administered under the War Depart. Ment or the opinion ef the Attorney General on it, Mr. Cook thought that this matter should have been attended to before, and that the workmen at Rock Isiand and in other places under the War Department had been remiss in thesr duties. The Ascembly should take some sneb action &s would settle the question that ‘ght boars is a day’s work with full pay, and no: with @ corresponding reduction. Mr. McWilliams moved the appointment of a comn- mittee to petition Congress for the passage ot #n explanatory law, and suggested the names of D. McUatbran George O. Cook, and E. MacMurray. The motion was carried, and those suggested were appomted. Adjourned. ee REMOVAL oF THI O. Rattroap eYOT.—Mesers. Ingersoll, of Ilimois; Wil- hams, of Indiana, and Wood, of New York, a sub-committee of the Committee on the District of Columbia. yesterday heard arguments for Aud sgaimst the removal of the Baltimore and Obio railroad depot from its present location to the boundary. The party advocating the removal was represented by Judge Wright and Hon. F. P. Stanton, and the railroad company by reveral of its officers. Messrs. Wright and Stanton contended that the company had vio- lated the conditions of the grant of Congress, and bad obstructed the streets with their cars, thus preventing the carrying out of municipal jaws avd regulations relative to the grading of the streets, &c. It was stated, incidentally, that the railroad track crosses fourteen streets between the boundary and the depot In opposition to this the railroad company in sisted that it had complied with the terms of its all particulars, and argued that Con- grees hud no right to order the removal of the track, unless, perbaps, upon the principle of the greatest good to the greatest number, and then only after the property had been’ con- demnred by appraisement, and the company bad been indemnified for all losses; but they insisted that the public generally would not be benefitted by the removal. for the traveling public Would be subjected to great expense for ick hire in going to and from the depot, aud that merchants generally would be compelled much larger amount for the delivery goods from the depot.

Downing, the keeper of ‘be House Restaurant, published in a moraing paper of the 17th instant. The meeting that Was held at Union League Hallon the 15 4, wae composed of a large number of the citi- zens of color of Washington and George.owa, who sre property-holders and voiers. The resolutions adopted requezing Congress to Pats the school bill over the President's veto are the wishes of that number. As rezird< this man Downing, the public y noi know that heis connected with the parry who weat 'o President Jobnson to secure the veto of the bill, and 1s with those who have the money thet Congress voted for the benefit of celored schools, and which is in the hands and custody of Trustees whogive no security whatever for the proper use of the same. Mr. Downing is but a recent comer among us, and hardly the proper man to set himself up as the exponent of the views and wishes of the colored people of this District. The Tensons why we wish this bill to b:- come iaw are that we believe the money Tatsed by the city for colored schools has not been judiciously expended by the present trus- teee, by purchasing ground valued at 12 cents a footand paying 45 cents therefor, th: pur- chase being made from one of the trustees. ‘This does not look like eeonomy in the affairs of that board, to say nothing else of it. This lot was for the erection of a school-house for First and Second Wards. It is located on ‘21st street, the extreme boundary of the First ‘Ward. and in every way a poor selection. if the bosrd cared anything for consulting the comvyemience of those who have to send chil- dren to that school. This scbool ought to have been in the neighborhood of 16th or 17th streets, and approximated at least towards a central location There i= also complaint of the man- ner in which the schools are conducted, I have no doubt that vast improvement could be made in thif matter, in the selection of teachers, &c. There evidently ‘seems to be a desire on the part of those opposing this school bill to create a feeling between the colored voters ot Washing- ton and Mayor Bowen and the other white of- ficers of the city vernment. In this they must surely fail. The colored men have no sympathy in anything of that kind. They yieldec their confidence and support to those gentlemen when they were elected, and have feen no cause since to take back that confi- dence, and do not intend to. > ‘THowas Martin.
