Doctor Verdi properly told us that the rivers of England had been poisoned from this cause. He might have gone further and included most of the rivers of Europe. The whole system of sewerage for the removal of fecal matter is adis- grace to our civilization. Subterranean canals should be used only for water drainage.

With a full knowledge of these repeated fail- ures in Europe I confess I was somewhatstartled when my friend over the way informed us that he had discovered abroad a system which not only does the work thoroughly, but without a dollar's expense. It did seem’ strange to me, and I expressed my surprise that this plan, which had converted an old offense into a mod- ern luxury, and an expensive arrangement into one of profityshould have been in use three years in England and nothing been heard of it on this side of the water. Inreply to repeated requests that he should give us some inkling of the plan, his lips were hermetically sealed, ana we were destined to know nothing of the wisdom con- cealed behind them until his carpet-bag could be unpacked and he could find time to arrange his facts and figures fora finished report. Of the discourtesy ot such refusal, the partial arrest of a much-needed public reform, and the violence thus offered to the public interests I shall have nothing tosay. Atlength the mystery h en solved, the silence broken, and we ought not to complain. Like honest Sancho, we must “thank God for the giver, nor look the gift horse in the mouth.” I might exclaim with the Latin poet, “parturiunt montes,” &e.. but T won't. much may be said, sir—I never did believe our friend had anything practica: to offer, any scheme which could be put in successful opera- tion, and the result has proved it. I was pre- pared, were it otherwise, to yote for it, and ad- voca te it.” DE. COX'S ESTIMATE OF THE DI's PLAN. . Dr. Cox went on to say that according to Dr Verdi's estimate the cost of the Rochdale system company met yesterday at the banking house of Jay Cooke & Co., and a committee, headed by Mr. John Hitz, and representing’ a large amount of property, pledged a liberal subseri; tion of stock, and they voted to open the boo! at once to the public for subscriptions. Last night, about 5 o'clock, rer Cole, col- ored, was run over by engine 13, on the B. & P. R.

At a meeting of the 14th District Alaska Se- tet Club a resolution was adopted endorsing ‘Mr. Peter Campbell for so ably and honestly representing the people of the whole District of Columbia, and especially the ith district, and pledging themselves to use their best efforts to secure bis nomination and election in Octo- ber, 1573. ——————— The District Finances. HEAVY RECEIPTS FROM TAXES. ‘To-day Col. Slater, the Collector of Taxes of the District, sent im his reports for the months of July and August. It will be seen from the following summary that the total receipts are far in excess of what was expected or estimated RECEIPTS IN JULY.

SHE GOES TO NEW YORK EN ROUTE TO ErRore, WITH $4,000 OF LKR RUSBAND’S MONEY A young brush maker, named John Kapp, re- Siding on Sth street northwest, appeared at Police headquarters yesterday, and complained that during his temporary absence in Baltimore his spouse, to whom he had been united but a short time since, had left his bed and board, taking with her sundry articles of household furniture and $4,000 in cash. With the aid of the detectives the distressed Benedict finally ascertained that his traant consort had shipped three trunks and a feather bed to New York by Adams’ express. He also ascertained her tem- porary stopping place in New York, where it seems she had gone, and he left for New York quire the manufacture of 40,000 tons of fertili- zer, at $5 per ton, to pay the running expenses alone of removing night-so:l, ashes ‘and gar- bage of the two cities—an amount of fertilizer which would cover most of the bare spots of irgi He claimed that the tar barrels were il for tubs, and substantial tubs would be required, costing about $5 cach. These, with the cost of covers for vans, remodeling pri vies, Xc., would cost $186,001, which, adieu to the costs noticed above. would make $519, UTILIZATION OP NI SOIL. In regard to the profitable utilization of night- soit, he had only to say that in this country, at least, it has been demonstrated not to be a very important source of revenue, and he denied that Baltimore had sold $40,000 worth of the raw material last year. He stated that the cost of the machinery in that city was$30,000, and to this time they had not realized over $15,000. He noticed that “the Baltimore Fertilizing Com- pany, of the city of Baltimore, with ample capital, attempted to utilize night-soil, garbage, ashes, and dead animals; the material was deliy- iast evening, previously tel ered on their scows free of cost, the city paid to hold the trunks, as they were stolen. | them $15,000 for carrying it away,and with Before leaving for New York h® learned that it | these advantages, in connection with the most ‘was his wife's intention to take the steamer for | approved methods that could be devised for pe to-day. working the material, b completely fail a oy and ‘oe ont of existence.” Here, even, we! the utilization of excrementitions matter poss!- ble and profitable, we could not engage in it, since a contract of ten years’ duration alread exists by which all the night-soil, garbage, ani dead animals pass into private hands, and could not be diverted therefrom without a violation of the legal contract entered into by the board. Dr. Cox then proceeded to give his OBJECTIONS TO THE BOX SYSTEM, | ag advocated by Mr. Langston, as follows:— First. It would be impossible to keep the boxes in @ fit condition to remove and transport through the streets, without offense, on account of overtiow and leakage. Probably one in tive of the boxes ordered to be cleaned are over- flowed, causing them to be eed offensive, the surtace being smeared, and making it necessary to dip out some ef the material before they can be sealed. The boxes after « few months would, in many premises, become very filthy from the careless habits of the — using them, ren- dering them a nuisance if carried through the streets. Second. As is well known, a large pro- portion of the bexes now made leak when first put in, which proves that a box to retain the whole !\uid matter beyond possible loss, must be made in the most thorough and careful 'manner, of select materials, dovetailed joints, leaded and bound. To utilize space the box must be of present dimensions, and provided with an extra top and seat-bole. These boxes and fix- tures, with iron plates and caps te guarantee them hermetically sealed, aren prigonen cost $10 each. Twenty thousand would be required, thus creating the enormous tax of #200.000 by their introduction, to ve im: upon the citi- zens, a tax that could not be borne by many of the poorer class. Besides these there would be at least 500 duplicate boxes required to carry on the removal, at an expense of £5,000, which must be paid either by the city or the scavengers. Third. The act of removing the box from its position in the privy. when not convenient to | draw it out endwise, demands more labor than might be supposed. The legal privy-box used forty-five gallons, water It appears that the couple in- tended to goto Europe on @ bridal tour after their marriage, but owing to business engage- ments Mr. K. was obliged to temporarily deier the trip. It is just possible that on meeting his wife in New York he may conclude to make the trip without any further delay. She was a blonde widow when Rupp married her, a few weeks ago, and is about thirty years old. ANNIVERSARY OF GETHSEMANE ComMAN- pegy, No.3, K.

Stewart, Ewinent Commander, and Henderson Comman- dery, No. 3, Georgetown, Sir Knight William H.

The committee of arrangements (John ‘W. Freeman; chairman; John E.

Tt was long the fault of the New York board, but its ot bold movement of demolishing whole market houses, thus suspending the busi- ness of no inconsiderable class of the popula- tion for the sake of the public health, has cor- ered them with honor, and brought to them the praises and blessings of the most substantial men of the city; and so it will be with us. We are now grappling with the gravest of nui- sances, and if we stand still, or, what is worse, take any backward step, we will disgrace our- selves and invoke the curses instead of the commendations of the public, whose interests we are here to subserve. “T have to apologize to the board for consam- ingso much time, and to thank them for their patient attention to the remarks I have felt it my duty to make. I challenge no man's mo- tives. Weallare or ought tobe animated by the single desire to promote the public advan- tage, and I trust that whatever method may be adepted as the result of these deliberations it may be one not to be regretted. This subject has been one of much anxiety and long-contin- ued labor on the part of the board, and however it may result the community wiil give us the credit of having endeavored honestly to perform ‘8 great public duty for the public good.” DE. VERDI REGRETS DR. COX’S PERSONALITIES. During the delivery of this address by Dr. Cox, a portion of which was delivered in a rather earnest manner, Dr. Verdi took copious notes, and at its conclusion said he felt sad that the simple action of a member who performs what he conceives to be his duty should elicit personal remarks. He had endeavored te do his duty to his fellow-citizens, who are all per- sonally interested in this important subject, and What had his plans to d ithe suarangey Vhat ha plans to do with ex a Had he said anything against the member to call for rsonalities? ad Dr. Cox any more rights and privileges inthis board than himself? It so, he would like to know it. He (the speaker) bad found no fault because the other members of the board had plans of their own, and he took noone to task for differing with him. As to rights before the board, he had the same in common with other members, and no one should chide him like a child for maintain- ing his views. If the gentleman had any per- sonal differences to settle with him, he KNEW WHERE TO FIND HIM, Probably the members of this board think he (the speaker) hadno business to make @ report to this board. Maybe they think it should have been made tothe Goverror! He would inform them that before he had submitted his report he had cousulted the Governor, and had been told by him to make his report to the Board of Health, and that he would approve it afterwards if adopted by the board, and in his judgment he thought it the best. THE SNEERS AND SARCASMS ot the member were entirely out of place, and do not interest the public one jot or tittle. "The tigures given by the member-are simply ridica- lous, and are only worthy of the prolitic imagi- nation of their author, and all his Latin and German quotations were the merest bosh in connection with the matter atissue. Leavin; his statistics out as unworthy of notice, he woul say that the quantity of garbage in this city is nearly four times the quantity of night soil. All acknowledge that the ditference is very great. He compared the present working force employed in the removal of night soil and gar- bage with the force estimated to be necessary to carry out his plans, and showed that but little additional pes 3 would be required. In reply to the attack on him for characterizing the odor- less excavating system a failure, he stated that he had never called it a failure as a hump bat the difficulty was with the boxes, and he did not believe the pump would clean them properly. THE RICKERINGS OF THE BOARD on this question had become the by-word with the public, and he thonght it was time to drop it and go to work. In his report he had stu- dionsly avoided personalities, feeling that all had rights of their own, and why should he be attacked. He regretted that the member should have gone out of his way to deai in personali- ties. He had always treated him courteously, as all would bear witness, but he could, if he chose to do so, go through his elaborate oration and point out mistakes, glaring ones, even in bis Latin and German quotations. He defend- ed the plans he had submitted as the best plans oing, and they would work as well in Wash- ngton as in Kochdale, and his (the speaker’s) figures as to cost, if carried into effect, would be found to be nearly correct. He expressed his disappointment that instead of something better to offer Dr. Cox should see fit to read a sermon to him. Why had he not expended his efiort 1m showing some practical plan of his own, or some reasons why the favorite odorless exca- vating fem_ was superior t? the one offered by himself? The people were tired of hearing length addresses; they desire the abatement of the nuisance. In conclusion, he in com- mended his plan as entirely practicable. MR. LANGSTON HAS A NEW PLAN. Mr. Langston here announced that he hada em to submit which had been suggested to im by Dr. 8. B. Gale, of the Smithsonian In- stetute, who had promised to submit a commu- nication explanatory of the new system pro- posed, at the meeting on Friday next. Dr. Verdi suggested that the gentleman be invited to come before the committee, and he moved thatall plans be submitted to the com- mittee. Mr. Langston moved that the whole subject be laid on the table, to be called up next Fri- day evening. He wanted to hear from Dr. Bliss, who had been in this question in its length and breadth, its height and depth. DE. COX DOWN ON DELAY. Dr. Cox said he was sorry to see the question taking thisdirection. It was alittle remarka- ble—that this was made the special order for their present_meeting, and now further delay was asked. He was sorry that he had in the course of his remarks offended his friend, Dr. Verdi, but that gentleman had rendered him- self very vulnerable, and he had no right to complain. His po f manner of coming here in the way he had and announcing that had a plan to propose, the nature of which he refused to indicate, and ask a postponement of action and cause all this unnecessary delay, was in 1t- selfdisrespectful to the board, and called for reproof. He again disclaimed any intention of offering offence. Dr. Verdi wished to know what discourtesy he had offered in his action. He had found final action about to be taken, an ordinance adopted, form of a contract submitted, and where was he to step in if not then ? Mr. Langston explained that there was no contract about to be made, but only the form of one submitted with the proposals of the gentle- men with whom they were dealing. DE. VERDI MYSTIFIED. Dr. Verdi added that it was a m; to him ithe de ‘ished to know w ‘iving bis views. He was not an orator like Dr. ox, Or a finent political speaker like Mr. Lang- ston; and why had not his friend Mr. Marbury been taken to task teo for voting to dela: Mr. Langston seconded the motion to lay on t! he table Dr. Bliss explained that the m7 to be adopted had been misunderstood—Iit did not contemplate adding one cent coat to the citizens more than they now pay, but instead would be one-fifth cheaper. He moved the com- mittee to whom the matter is referred be re- quested to meet every day at 12 o’clock and cide which plan to adopt. as in the com- Mr. Langston 0| this, ittee he met the same bold, tentious, mittee 4 a though h ved honest = th tit et in the public mee! ‘of the board.

Kimmell, in rome to the testimony of Sappington, testified that he attached a horse, wagon and harness of B. Chambers on a writ issned on the 8th of March last, at the instance of Mulcan, for wages, $47.40; also, had a writ for $61.50, in tavor of H. 1. Gregory, which Cham- bers authorized him to satisfy out of the sale, if he released the child’s sleigh, &c. After the sale, attachments were served on him in favor of Acton and Castleman, for amounts more than sufficient to absorb the rest of the pro- ceeds. He paid Mulcan $47.40, H. I.
