There were also tive re for the city press on hand. During the evening the total number was increased to twenty-five by the arrival of Arthur Pannel; bat as Mr. | armed left about that time the account, was balanced. Dr. T. G mm was elected to preside, and Dr. Tucker gras chosen secretary. The chair remarked that it was very unex- pected to him to be called upon to preside ata meeting of citizens without regard to party, {it ought to astonish bim.—Rep.] but who were assembled to express disapproval of what they considered a common wrong. He was free to say the bill now before Congress met his un- qualitied disapproval, and unless it be amended in several particulars he would continue to op- Pere it. After saying this the Doctor took his seat, anda Quaker-like stiliness followed for several minutes, A gentleman, whose name was ascertained to be Fuiler, asked if the committee appointed at the last meeting to wait upon Congress were Teady to report. TWEEDLE-DUM AND TWEEDLE-DEE. The chair ted that-this meeting had no counection whatever with that meeting; this being a citizens’ meeting and the last one a mass meeting. Mr. A. Watson, thinking no doubt that this istinction withou. a difference, made a tion that the committee be requested to re- port. Collector Boswell then stated that as a mem- ber of that committee he wonid say that th had waited upon the committee of conferen at the capitol, and laid before that body the objections they had to the bill, and among these were the suffrage question ‘and the taxation question. The committee had been heard, and they were assured that these questions would be carefully considered by the conference com- inittee. Mr. Boswell wenton to say that it had been asserted before the conference coumitiee by the advocates of this bill that ‘THE LITTLE FACTION who are oppoeing this bill are emal! office-hold- ers, and notone of them is a taxpayer. This te denied; on the contrary, most of the city offiee- bolders are taxpayers. In reference to taxa- tion, he stated that in 1869 the corporation taxed its citizens sixty-five cents for general purposes, which, with the special taxes, made al together $1.40 on the $100. But this did notsuit seme of the heavy taxpayers, and they got a bill trough reducing this amount for general purposes to 5 cents; and with even thie great reduction, the tax this year is €1.80 on the $10, and now this Proposed bill gives the right to levy a tax not exceeding S2 for general purposes,and as much more for special purposes as they choose to as- sess—there is no limit. The tendency of this bill is toan arisfocr The board of public works have all the powers, and the election by the people of the lower board is simply a farce to giver the color of franchise without the substance. The bill introduced last year, and lobbied through one heuse of Congress, Was more liberal than this one. Another feature of this bill is that the government property is not te be taxed. it was a false pretense of its advocates that it » for Mr. Cook, Chairman of the Committee on the District of Columbi had told bim that this was not intended at An assessment was to be made and a made—that was all there was to this ts A. report xing of the goverpment property. if this bill becomes a law, John W. Garrett will rule the city, as no other railroad would have the right to come inside the Distriet lines but his—the bill restrict- ing the powers of the city government with relerence to Srenting powers to special corpo- rations. There is a re rumor atloat, which smelt pretty loud, that if this bill passes the new Market Houte Co; th mpany will abolish all the other market-hou-es and forse all dealers to if trade with their monopoly. Legislatures had been bought, and could be bought again, and when he saw men advocating this measure wh> one year ago opposed it, it looked very much as if there is something underneath what appears on the surface. It had been stated that this bill creates 4 FLUTTER AMONG TRE CITY OPPICE HOLDERS, but as far as be was concerned it did not pe late him out of office at all, but leaves lim just where he is in the hands of the people.
