Lincoln Hall—Grand Concert by Clara Louise Melioge, Webli, and others. The District Government Bill in the Bemate. Im the Senate this morning, immediately after the reading of the journal, the House sabstitute for the Senate bill to provide a form ef government for the District ef Columbia which passed the House on Friday, was taken Vice President's table, rom the House Pattersen moved t to a commuttes of ‘courerence. id he bad received a letter from ashington stating that the Boards ef Alog men and Common Council had passed Teselution« remonstrating against the pasrage ©f ibis bill, and in that view of the case he thought it best to refer the bill to the Committee en the District of Columbia. He thought the bill @ very important one, and as the House smenements were in the nature of a new bill, be thought it best to give the whole matter eareful consideration. Mr. Pomeroy said many provisions of the Rouse bill had never beeu before the Senate, aud there were a number of amendments which should not go to a conierence committee. The House bill provided for the appointment of a governor by the Prestdent, instead of havin, one elected by the pec ihe bill which paxsed the House wax incomplete, and he hoped it would be referred to the Committee on the Dis- wict of Columbia, that mature consideration might be given Mr. Pattereon was anxious that the bill should Be8 through this session aud his-oniy object in moving to reter it to @ conference committee Was to avoid delay. If it should be referred to the District Committee much time would be lost and the probsbilitics were that the bill would not be passed this session. Ir the bill should be yefezted to a conference committee ali the amendments could be considered and there Weuld be a chance for the bill passing. Bir. Wilson boped the bill would be referred te the District or Columbia Comumtttee. He Was willing to trust it with that committee, ana Jed them report it as soon as they desired to. Many important principies were involved in this bill, and it should be carefully considered. Mr. Hamlin regarded this whole thing as an esperiment, but Le contidently believed it would be a succe-stul experiment. So many impor- tant matters were pressing upon Members and Sewators that they had no time to give atten- Ben to District of Columbia matters, anda good gevermment should be provided for the District which would relieve Cages trom the care of it im a great measure. If the bill should be re- ferred to the District Committee and broaght back to the Senate, and every Senator listen to the objections of sin, individuals, the bill wonld certainly be defeated. He ‘therefore — it would go to the Conference Com- mittee. ir. Patterson said the District Committee in the House had but one day, more, and there wrould be but little show to get the Tili through this session if it should go back to the Commite On the contrary, if it went to a conter- ¢ committee it could be considered at any me. He thought there were but three features im the Dill which passed the House which dit- fered materially from the Senate bill. One was the creation of a board of public works, Aaucther was the appointment of the Gorernor and the upper branch of the legislature, and the third was the abolishment of the charters of Mr. Harlan ech or W Be corpor: Mr. Btewar r of Mf. Patterson's motion. T given the affairs of the I of Columbia any consideration were satisticd that they were ina miserable state. So many organizations were new exis ing im the District, all legislating to some ex- tent. then there were the ol laws of Maryland im ferce bere, and above Con 3 that it was almost inpossibie to krow what Department or what branch should act om many questions. The result was covfurion, expense and extravagance Ir this Dill was not acted upon now, it would not go through this session, aud must go over to the next Congress. He was in favor of the House bill, giving the President power to ap- point the governor and upper branch of the council. The District of Columbia should not be entirely under control of the people who re side here. The government ot the United States bad se much property here that it was right and proper to allow the President to appoint the governor, who could have control of the gov- erpment property to some extent. He thought @ conterence committee would harmonize the whole matter and insure the passage of the bill a Of Vermont, was in favor ot be bill to the Committee on the Dis- trict of Columbia. Bir. Thurman thonght it not only an absolute Recessity, but an act of justice to the people of the District, to give them a good government. Die had seme objections to the bill, because he saw no necessity of vesting the appointment of «ne branch of the Council in the President. He ‘was in favor of having them elected, and be- lieved the principle of the right of the minority n should prevail. In the great York all knew the evils of one- ipal affairs. He hoped ‘the bill would be amended so asthe minority aight be represented in the Counctis, but would Pet oppose the motion to refer to the committee et! _copferenc Mr. Morton was in favor of a territorial form © government for the District of Colambia; but be thought the grave questions in this bili sbeuld be considered fully, and be therefore boped it would go to the Committee on the Dis- tct of Columbia! Mr. Sumner said they were about to create another Territory, only it was one which could never be admitted as@ State. He was led to hesitate when be saw that the people of this inetrict, to whom sutfrage bad recently been given, weuld bave scch « limited opportunity to use it a8 presented by the bill now before the Sepate. He also desired to see a system of com- soon schools bere in this District, wherein eq rights should prevail, and the child be equal at schoo! the same as the man is at the ballot box znd in the horse cara. He hoped the bill would be reterred to the Committee on the District of Columbia. Mr. Carpenter was in favor of a territorial form of government for the District of Colum- bia. but woul F vote for a bill which gave the President power to appoint a portion of the council, isstead of having them elected by the yh He thought this bill should be consid- in the Senate herefore hoped it would £0 to the District of Columbia Committee.

He had heard it Waggishly said on the siecet that the Coun- cils abolished the Board of Health be- cause that body aloiished voters. He boped the Senate would understand that this bill was for the national comiort fu after years, one of the best arguments that Western men could make for the removal of the Capital to their section would be that it was impossible to bave any ornament in the city on account uf the cows, sheep. hogs. geese, c., constantly ru: g at large. The argn- ment would be a gourd one too, and he ror one Would be compelled to listen to it and might possibly vote for the removal of the Capita! for that very reason. Mr Stewart bad vet to see the beauties of a republicap government in uicipal afeirs.
