He didn’t see why they should desire to take any part in the muss, for it was not sucha pleasant matter to be mixed up with.

The bill for the improvement of the canal ‘Was taken up as the special order at 9% o'clock, ‘when Mr. A. K. Browne obtained the floor and addressed tne Board in support of the bill. After giving a short history of the canal, in which he stated that in 1531 the corporation purchased the stock of the canal company, and the Government has since recovered p: session of ihe larger Portion of the ground which bad been granted to the canal compaa: and in heu thereot bad given the city 150,000, and twice appropriated $20,000 to clean the canal. The question, “Shall something be done to the canal!” 1s no longer an open one; but as the city has mo power to dispose of it, the question now is, What is it expedient to do with it?” He proceeded tr discuss the pro- position of making ita closed sewer, arguing tbat it would cost and a half millions of dollars, &nd the expense of cleaning it would be much ereater than ff it remained open. that in a sanitary poiat of view it would endanger all that ef the city which is bata little above its level.including Pennsyl from 14th street to the Gapitol.

He argued that if the canal could be made so valuable to a com- pany, it could be made as valuable to the Cor- Poration, and gave figures.

He believed that it could be made notonly useful Gieaned out by the ist of June next cleaned out b} . Price, #2 per day for eight hours work, he would urge that this work would not be flitny and liable to produce sickness, and no member of the Republican patty would, he was sare, object to paying tbat amount. He also sent tothe Clerk’s desk a letter from Mrs. Jorepbine S. Griffing. which was read, in which she urges tnat, for humanity's sake, thi« work should be done, that the suffering poor may be relieved. An article from the Srag ef Wednesday last was also read. Dr. B. en- dorsed Mr. McKuight’s views. and in conclu- sion urged the passage of the bill if for no other Tesson than to relieve the poor. ‘Mr. Gaines thonght that some of the papers read were insulting to the members, as they Were appealed to as Republicans. He was a Republican, but he cams to the Bi asa rep- resentative of bis cons‘ituents. and not of a arty, and would do his duty without political ins.’ He was opposed to the bill,and he had beard no one in his ward favorit. There was no fall in the canal suffictent for a good flow of water, and they could not go farther than 17th street. Good bargains were offered to the cor- Poration, some ot which should be taken, as he could not see where the corporation could get the money to improve the canal, ond the taxes are now so high that many have had to sell half their property to pay for improvements made by the corporation. Ir. Holmes offered & substitute for the bill of the committee, providing for the appropriation of $125,v00 for cleaning out the canal its entire length to a depth of five feet below the lowest tides, the work to be gontracted for and given to the lowest bidders sfter adverusing in two New York. two Philadelphia, two Baltimore. aud two Washington iy (or two weeks, tbe contract to be ‘awarded and the work to be under the supervision of a canal board. to consist ef the Mayor, two Aldermen, and three Councilmen, who shall be appointed by the Presidents of the two Boards, and the work to be finished on or before June 1, 1870; and that any company connecting this canal with the same right. Mr. Holmes spoke of cau! being necessary to the trade of the country, aud be instanced Various lines of canais doing large business. Mr. Simms said that he conid not see how the city was to pay for this improvement, for even now people are starving on Corporation werk, but if they could pay the mon was will- ing toimprove the canal. He did not believe, however, that it would pay as machas some supposed, for the highest he had known the Teceipts was £30,000. Mr. Hatton.—How much does it pay now?» Mr. Simms.—Nothing. He would be in favor of keeping it if the Corporation could sustain itself. Mr. Boyd asked if it was not understood that the tax bill would yielda surplus of $100,0N? Mr. Siinms replied that he bad so understood, butit remains to beseen whether there will be a surplus, Mr. Taylor erbmitied a resolution authoriz- yor to invite proposals for cleansing that the Councils shall have some probable cost of the work, as 8 sub- ene which, on motion of Mr. Boyd, was re- fe Mr. Burgess read trom the several acts re- lating to the canal, and argued that the tion had lost their right tothe canal, not having complied with the terms of the act vesting the canal in the Corporation. Mr. Williams (Mr. Venable in the chair) ad- dressed the buard in favor of the bill, referring to the fact that parties were anxious to get possession of the canal as an evidence of its Worth, and also to the business done on the nes = compared pec gers Erie a some that the day canals le Dot | contended that al- passed. though a committee of Congress had declared “that Congress might well declare the char- ter forfeited,” such has not been done.

Mr. Hall said it was a popular error that if the canal was connected with the Chesapeake and Ohie Canal the Cumberland coal would come to Washington. This city would not get as much asa three-legged mule in three weeks could haul from Georgetown. Mr. Holmes contended pees through the canal if it was connected ‘With other Fare and he —, that the Propesed Potomac and Chesapeake Camai ‘would be constructed, and, when that was done, coal from Cumberland could be taken to New York without breaking bulk.
