A vile sheet, which is so low that even its authors dare not avow their connection with it, came out yesterday with a statement over the or- | signature of Samuel Strong, charging that Mr. Emery had defrauded the government in the Measurement of some granite cutting years ago. Where Samuel Strong is known the tact that be makes the statement is suilicient evidence ot its falsity.

Referred to the Comumitice on Public Buildings and Grounds. he also introduced a bill to provide for the care and instruction of idle and truant children in the lustrict of Columbia. It provides that any child between the ages of 6 am years having sufficient bedily health and mental capacity to attend the public schools, whoshall be found wandering Sout the streets of Washington or Georgetown, in the District of Columbia, idle or truant, without any lawful occupation may be brought before any justice or judge of th court on complaint of any citizen for examin: tion, and the parent or ‘dian shall be sum- moned, and if the complaint be satisfactorily established the fusticr may require such parent or guardian to enter into an t in writing with the Corporation of the city or he will restrain such child trom wandering about, keep the child on his or her own premises, or in some lawful occupa- tion, or cause the child to be sent to school st least six months in the year until the child becomes rixteen years of » and the justice may require. security for the faitnful performance of suth engagement, but if the child shall have no parent or guardian, then the justice may commit it to the Reform School. The Secretary of the Interior is au- thorized to appoint a commissioner of truancy, who may prosecute any parent or guardian for wilfully violating the agreement, and recover a malty not exceeding 350. and the child shall Bm be a = = —— Schosl. The corporate authorities of Washington and Geor, town and the Levy Court are required to spp priate the necessary amounts to clothe, support and instruct children tn the Reform Setool. The Superintendent of Police is required to detail one or more police officers to aid the com- missioner of truants in arresting ail truant chil- dren. Referred to the Committee on Education and Labor. Mr. Cook, chairman of the Committee on the (strict of Columbia, asked leave to have the Senate bills relating to the District of Columbia taken from the Speaker’s table and referred to the District Committee, as that committee had bat one more day te report in the House, (the third Friday tin this month.) The first bill taken ‘he Speaker's table was the bill to provide ment for the District of Columbia, tly passed the Senate, bat Mr. Pennsylvania, objected, and conse- he bill could net go w the District tor consideration. Government and keeps it secret for years is worthy of the least belief. Sam. Strong appeals in his statement to Mr. S. T. G. Morsell to verify what he says. By the subjoined cards it will be seen that Mr. Morsell gives the lie direct to the statement, which 1s also disproved by the statement of Mr. John C. Harkness, whose character is beyond question, and whose bare word would out-weigh the sworn statement of a thousand Sam. Strongs. Here are the evidences of Strong's falsehood. EpiTox oF THe STan—Sir: Having seen a copy of the Journal of this date, coutaining a card of Mr. Samuel Strong, in which my name appears, I ask you to pubsish the following: hereby certify that the statement of Mr. Strong contained in this day’s Journal in regard to my having furnished him with information concerning certain donations made by M.

RY, Esq—Dear In answer to your inquiry 1 have to state that 1 was ap- pointed t hited States measurer at the Capitol extension, September, 1452. On entering u duty Lfound the cellar walls, under the supe: iutendence of Samuel Strong, far advanced, as also much of the granite and marble work of the basement story. The door jams of cellar walls had been commenced ‘with dressed gneiss, but were superceded by potnted granite, furnishad by yourself at & manifest saving to the Government. (I think Mr. Walter estimated the amount thus saved to the Government to be $80,000.) I also found a sworn measurer inthe United States service, im charge of this department of the work, whose principle of measurement and manner keeping the accounts were correct and satis- ctory to myself. Your foreman, also, Mr. Sargent, was superintending the dressing and the measurement thereof, as your workmen were paid, not by the day, but by the super- ficial foot, according to the rules and published bill of prices governing the trade. In passing, Lwoald say that the journeymen, after you: contract was made, increased the price for cut- ting six cents per superticial foot, and I knowof no allowance made to you for that loss. When I measured up the cubic quantities of gneiss furnished by the special friends of Sam’) Strong at the United States Capitol extensiox, it was absolutely necessary for me to determine the cubic conteuts of the door jams, as this hal to be deducted from the gross amount of the cellar wall. The contents of the door jams | computed from the records of the meéasurer above referred to, and my own subsequent mea- surements, which, at the time, was not objected to by Mr. Strong. ‘This whole subject was thoroughly investi- gated by @ special committee of Congress, the report of which ison file, and acquis you of all blame, and not only so, but honorably sustains you in the fulfillment of your contracts with Government. In conclusion, I may say that virtually all your granite work furnished for the United States Capitol extension was carefully meas- BEGG RA ABEPMY cole REAPS RE SAAR TO were the Government.

THE REFORM REPUBLICANS EARLY ON THE GROUND. SCENES AND INCIDENTS. The election in progress in this city to-day for Mayor,one Alderman and three members of the Board of Common Council frem each ward, one Alderman to fill the vacancy in the Fourth Ward caused by the resignation of Mr. Emery, and four Assessors, is one of the most exciting municipal contests we have ever had in Wash- ington. The principal interest centers in the Mayoralty, the candidates for which position are Mr. Sayles J. Bowen, the present incum- bent, elected as a republican, two ‘years’ ago, under pledges to reduce the debt of the city and carry out many needed improvements, but who has signally failed to keep his promises, the city now being deeper in debt than ever, while he has carried out no great measure for the public good; and Matthew G. Emery, a well-known republican, who has been nominated and is being supported by the reform republi- cars and by men of all parties, who are in favor of a more economical administra- tion of the city government, and a thor- ough reform in municipal affairs. The candi- dates for the Boards of Aldermen, Common Council and assessors in the respective wards will be found in the reports below, which em- brace a full account of the progress of the elec- tion in each of the tive precincts in the seven wards of the city, up to the hour we go to press. The rain which commenced falling during the wight, and poured down steadily daring the morning, was rather a damper on the “ red- hottest” politicians, but the excitement in sone sections of the city ran very high. POLICE ARRANGEMENTS. ‘The police arrangements for the day were excellent, every possible thing having been attended to to prevent any outbreak, or to sup- pret tt promptly should one occur. ‘The Board eld @ special meeting at 7.30 last evening, and adopted an order, which was read to the to this morning, instructing the officers to arrest any person ‘at the polls attempting to exercise yoOlice authority. This order was given on Account of information having been received that certain persons had been desig- nated to wear badges, in order that they might be recognized and protect voters. he “preambie to the o set forth that the province of Pigiectig 7 zens and maintaining the peace belonged to the Board alone, and adequate measures had been taken to prevent any tumult or disorder. The Board was in session to-day for the purpose of acting upon any subjects which might come before them, or act promptly to suppress any riot, an extra force of fuur- teen mounted police were commissioned,making the mounted force thirty men, who were kept in reserve at police hea ters, under com- mand ef Major Richards, Capt. Brock, Lieuts. Johnson, Essex and Austin. These officers were all aimed with heavy Colt’s revolvers to enable them to promptly put down any eisorder. GRANTING CERTIFICATES, The Judges of Election were in session in the Council Chamber at the City Hall at 9 o'clock, for the purpose of giving cortitioates to those whose names appeared on the original registry, but were omitted from the copies made for the voting precincts on account of the hurry attending the transcribing, Mossrs.

Twenty or thirty were admitted to the room at a time, and as each one was attended to he passed out of the side door. Among those present were a number who had not been registered, but of course they were retused certificates. Lieut. Noonan, with several officers, was on duty at the Council Chamber during the day. IMPORTED BOWEN STRIKERS. On the arrival of the early train this morning, Lieut. Kelly having received information that a lot of colored roughs from Baltimore were ex) |, hag Sergeant Johnson, with some ten to twelve men, at the Depot, and arrested 16 of these imported Bowen strikers. They were escorted to the seventh precinct station, and trom thence were committed to jail. The train ving at 840 from Baltimore brought another crowd of colored rowdies, some of w walked through the depot with arms in their hands, boasting of what they were ing to do to aid in election of “ Boss en. ‘The train due at 10.10 o'clock left Baltimore with a namber of colored roughs, but before they reached here they became suspicious that the police would nab them, or they received news as to how the first batch were received, and at Bladensburg a number left the train. jergeant Jobuson and the e seventh precinct met this train U C INCIDENTS.

The Bowen party commenced to assemble at the precincts as early as 11 o’clock last night. They gotadrum, and roused the whole ward from their slumber, but unfor- tunately they woke up a nest of Emery men, who went very cog and took the place at the polls, in long lines. Himber attempted to sleep in his office—the first precinct—but wa: Preycated trom doing so by the soft music of the Emery men, whe had taken possession of the office, and were chanting a solemn dirge. whicb aroused Himber, and troubled his con- science to such an extent as to cause him no rest until 7 o’clock. There seems to be a great deal of scratchin on the ward ticket, especially the names of Far- ‘aylor. ‘The police arrangements are A beautiful Emery flag was, this morn ng, thrown to the breeze trom the resi dence of Fred.

Th support chat ticket were making their appea: ance in considerable numbers, and as a general thing all of both parties retired almost imme- deately after er gpes nae! their votes. Smal! groups, mainly of colored people, were congre- gated in the localities about the precincts; aml although the situation was being discussed with animation, there was no indication whatever of any but the best good teeling prevailing. LATER. Up to 2 o'clock first precinct had polled 504 votes, with Emery ahead; second, 419; third, 495; fourth, 417; ith, 328, Emery men claim to have about 300 majority up to this time. Poll- jet; at some pr ecincts voting is apparent- riy through, aud only straggling vote: Bowen seems to have secured all the notorious swell-heads and dead-beats in town to “leg” for him in the different wards. In the First Ward that distinguished bummer, C. B. Baker, is electioneering to the best of his 'y for Bowen; and his “hatchet and cherry style of narrative is brought into full play in assuring the voters that Sayles J. Bowen is the best Mayor the city ever had, and is sure to be triumphantly re-elected. SECOND WARD. Emery Ticket :—Alderman—Q. A. Hall. Com- mon Council—Dayid Fisher, Hallett Kilbourn John A. Bayley.

The line had diminished considerably, and only about twenty men were then in line. The Emery men claim this pre- cinct by tive to one. At the fifth precinct 223 votes were cast. Bowen men claim this precinct. It is said that tie Bowen men have polled their whole vote in this ward, they having come out oe. this morning, and that the Emery men have noi lied their strong vote yet. Josepli Brooks, the Assistant Ward Commissioner, was on hand with bis assistants. Mayor Bowen vis- ited the first and second precincts of this ward this morning. No disturbance has occurred at any of ihe precincts. LATER. About 1 o’elock p. m., about sixty disorderly Bowenites, headed by the notorious Tom Bowie, visited all of the precincts in this ward, the entire crowd yelling and screaming. As they did not attempt to interfere with the voters, no attention was paid to them by the Emery men. The Bowen men had two tickets in this ward— one with Maurice J. Hurley in place ot A. F. Moulton. John C. Clary offered to bet S100 G. A. Hall would be the next Alderman trom the Second Ward, and that Eméry would carry the ward. No takers. At the second, third, and fourth precincts the yoting has been slow since 12 0’clock—the judges having nothing to do half the time.
