The ori- ginal plan for the improvement of this part contemplates the removal of the street railroad track out of the Capitol grounds to First street east. Objection bas been raised by Senators and members of Congress on the ground thay he railroad was a convenience to them in reaching the Capitol. Mr.Olark will propose, therefore, that the space on the eastern front shall be made a parade, with paved foot and arriage-way—the railroad to be diverted from its present course and ron under the stairwiys of each wing ard the central stairway. By this plap the ears would be able to land pas- sengers at the lower entrances of the building. MB. ConsIN —Tbe mest talked of man o the day is certainly Mr. Abel R. Corbin, a quiet, elderly gentleman, who has shot wp into sud- den notoriety in consequence of the heated con- troversy over the question whether he was or ‘was not the originator of the great gold corner that bas convulsed the financial circles of the country. The New York papers, who are im- proving the occasion by « doing’ him biogra- phically, put him down as avout fifty years of ‘age. He must be older than this, as he seemed © be considerably past the middle age as long ago as the palmy days of Senator Benton, who, We believe, brought him to Washington, and secured bim the eligible position of cler® to the House Commitee on Ciaims, Afverwards Mr. Corbin took sides with the Qnti-Benton party im Missouri, and for some there was Bon-intercourss between Mr- and Mr. Corbin.

WaLksR—Tue Fir TRENTH AmEx DMENT—ConseRVATIVE Meer. ino Last Nicut, &¢.—Our despaten trom Richwond yesterday, briefly referred to Gover. nor Walker's message to the Legisiature. To- document is given im fail in the Richmond State Journol of last evening. The Governor expresses his conviction that the Legislature would ratify the fitteenth amendmect volunta. Tily, even if it was not @ requsite of admission, and says “the people of this Commonwealth at the late election by an overwhelming majority jonstitation by this amendment, viz: the civil and political equality of all men before the law. The well known honor and integrity of the people of Virginia forbideven the sappositioa that they would fail to adhere and maintain, while necessary and possible, any priaciple to which they bad yielded their adherence. Virginia siways falfilis, in the most ample good isith, all ber pledges; but our people by this action have not only placed the political rignts of all our citizens upon a firm sn enduring basis. they have accomplished mach more— they Dave increased prospectively the power 8nd influence of our State in the national coun- cils by broadening the basis of represantation Under the fourteenth article of the Constitution of the United States. There is reasonable grounds for apprebension that if the fifteenth amendment should fail of adoption asa part of tre Federal Qonstitution, our State may be flooded with and thereaiter pass into the hands of aclass of emigrants from the great States lying upon or near our borders, who will seek ce enjoyment of those civil and political rights accorded to them bere, but denied to them there. ‘Sclf-protection, therefore, demands that we do our part towards securing the ratification ot that amendmen:. Oor interests require it. Our faith 1s pledged.’ He also advocates the election of Senators at the present seesion of the Legisiature, and counsels out such action as will been- urely acce; to Congress when it has be- fore “it the question of the admission of the State. In conclusien the Governor speaks ot the gratifying features of the great advance- ment lately made in trade and manufactures in the State. The caucus of the Conservative members of the Legisiature last night resolved that both the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments should be at once adopted. In the joint committee on tbe Governor's message yesterday, a proposi- tion, by E Suowden. jr.. of Alexandria, to add to the bill passing the fifteenth amendment a clause showing that it was done because it was Tequisite to the admission of the State, was re- jected. only two of the committee voting in favor of it. To-day an amendment will be offered in the House to make the adoption of tbe fifteenthfamendment conditional on the ad- mission of the State. The proposition nad no friends in the caucns Iast nicht. A caucus on the Sentorial question will be held (o-night. Alexandria Matters.

H. Barron, do.; Ohss. Hen ley and Commissioner Gunnell high up in the meeting. Councilman Netzer wis in the audi- ence, as also Colonel Perry Oarson, wno ap- peared to be rather a “-looker on in Venice.’ Mr. Boswell took the chair, and Mr. J. L. N. Bowen occupied the secreiary’s position The Chair announced that the object of the Meeting was toelect officers, but before pro- ceeding to business he addressed them. He spoke first of his course when the colored peo- ple were entranchised, comparing the condition of the party and people then with their pres- ent condition. He had been elected Register, nd aitbough witnont pledges, he took a course which resuited sm compelling the then _ to pay the teachers of colored schools. Tne Repubheans elected a majority in one board and & minority in the other, and for @ jong lume the wheels of legislation were locked, but finally a compromise measure to pay the teach- ers was offered by Alderman Moore, and passed. ‘The fight then fell oetween the Mayor and the Register, and the result is known. He referred to having tast year placed against the retarn the entire Fitth Ward delecation in office, thereby giving a majority to the Republicans. in regard to his positien of Uollector, be said that the books are first to be made and turned “ver to him, when he would commence re- ceiving them, and he was satifled that every Possible effort is being put forth to complete them. Mr. Boswell then proceeded as follows: “On the first day ot July { was installed into the office of Uoliector. “I am not a legislator, nor do I have the giving out of work on the streets. The duties of my are pleasing when the books are ready. They are turned over to me, and the taxes are collected. I am satisfied tn: ery effort possible is being put torward fof their completion. «“Durmg my absence from the city some of you were told that my absence Kept you out of your money. I am sausfied there is not a MSD im this house that believes that: ye the time it was told you, I have no deubt but what you thought there was some truth in it, The sequel to this story is this: Somebody thought my absence was@ good chance for him to damn me and raise himeelt. Bat 1 assure you if be bas not made better progress on other questions than be has on this, bis success has uot paid for the pains taken. A Word more on this subject, affecting the direct interest of the laboring people. When I heard of these charges being made against me, I seit it due to myself, due w you who had aided in electing ine, to publish a card denying that 1 was responsible for the non-collection of the taxes; and in that card | made no attack on any officer of the Corporation. Subseqaently a card ap; in tbe papers of this city from Smee. ‘To tis card I replied that if the chic! executive officer of ‘bis Uorporation had gtven out the work om the numerical book at an early day we would now have been collecting taxes. (I will do the Mayor the justice to say ‘Bat 1 do not believe be conceived that the word was of such great importance as it bas turned ont to be, and that it was from no willful intent tnat the books were not given out before the: were, but more of an oversight on bis part.) 1 am sorry that I was ealied u to make a reply to this card. I have looked the whole teld over, and I can see no reason for any per- son) difference between myself ard the Mayor. Yet, I think 1 am cerrect in saying ff the con. Toverey, if it may be cailea one, had been leit to us, it would Dave been settled before this tume: but I tear there was, and is, others who have desired for months to make us enemies, bave seized this opportunity to carry out taeir designs. I repeat that there has never been any real cause for this personal difference, and that 1 could have been settled by myself and the Mayor withoet prejuaice to either. ‘The question may arise how oould our dif- ferences be settled. To this my reply is that I kuow the Mayor ot this city; have kuown him tor some years; advocated his nominaiton; sup- ported bim for the office of Mayor; stood by Dim while being installed into bis office, amid the turors of Democracy. And having stood by bum in the storms, and he baving stood by me, us a friend, during the contest on the school quesuon; and again when 1 was a candidate tor the office 1 now fill, 1 know we could, with all ofthe many pleasant and unpleasant oraeals that we have passed through, settled this un- pleasent difficuly. 1 have no personal feeling against the Mayor or any one else under God's sun. While I differed with nim in ppoint~ ment, to some extent, I accord to him the right to choose Who heeees fit; yet 1 always wish the people to be consultea, aud for bis action the people are to judge. The language used by me in my latespeech bas been coustrued by each person who has read it to suitbimself. 1 meant to make no at- tack upon the Mayor in bis official capacity or in apy sense that Cond be construed that 1 was hot «supporter of the present administration. My opposition to the Mayor is not to him because of any difference between myself and him, but because Ihave aright to choose my own choice for Mayor at the coming electior. My opposition 1s Solely to bis renominstion, aud not to Dis admimistration Yet J do not Approve o: all that bas been done, and if be should be nominated, duty to my party would compe! me to give him my hearty support. The cbarge that 1 am a candidate foc the | office of Mayor I wili answer. Ibave always said that f belonged to the people. 1 say so yet. Butif that people will consalt my inter- @st, (h#y will not use my name fer such posi- on. I do not want it. 1am a poor man, and, to be plaim, am notable finascialiy to fill that office.

By the frame of the government of our city, | under which we live and act, this same people have wisely, through the legislation o: gress, given their public servants bat little power for mischief; and have, with equal ‘wisdom, provided for the return of that little to their own hands at very short intervais. While the people retain their virtue and vigi- lance, no administration, by any extreme of weakness or folly, can very seriously injure the people or the Government im the saort space of ove or two years. I say to you, think calmly and well upon this whoie subject. Notbing valuable can be lost by taking me. If there be an object to hurry you in bot baste toa step which you would never take deliter- ately. tbat object will be frustrated by taking time. But no gooa object can be frustrated by it. Such of you as are now dissatisfied still ave law and justice om your side. If it were admitted that you who are dissatisfied hoid the right side in this so-called dispute, there is still nO good reason for precipitate action. Intelli- gence, patriotism, uamty and a firm re. lance on Him who has never yet iorsakea this favored party, are still competent to adjust in the best way all our present difficulties. In your bands, my dissausfied fellow-cttizens. and not in mine,is the momentous issue of partial separation. Neither I nor my friends willavall you. You can have no u08R, without being yourselves the cause.
