Mr. Clark proceeded to read from the act as to tus powers of the board in making improvements, he term ‘unreasonable charges’ is used, and he did not think that that msant they should improve the street in front of his premises and charge him four prices tor it. He then read lis declaration, claiming that for the work done the ook should have been #64.17. Mr. Cahiil, for the defence, eaid that if aftor the evidence is in it should appear that Mr. Glark has been singled out acd charged more than others he should have a verdict for amount overpaid.

Mr. George Thomas Stewart was called and identified some memoranda as to misstate- ments, | Mr. Cahill objected unless it was first shown that witness wae @ surveyor or engineer quali- fied to measure such work. Mr. Clark urged that the witness was fully qualified to measure the curb and paving, and stated that the excess of his bill was owing to the exemption of church property. He did not believe that Con; any right to recog- mize religion, and he would like to see the law authorizing the payment of #% from his pocket to pay for paving in front of churches. Ke- ferring to the late speech of Gen. Chipman, our | delegate, he said the subject was fully expiained by him, and in his opinion Gen.

Mr. Cahill cross-examined witness, who said Mr. Clark bad been charged no more than other Property-holders. A few hasty words were | passed, Mr. Cabill saying that witness not be- ing an engineer was not @ competent witness, and Stewert retorting that he was a better en- gineer than he (C.) was @ lawyer, and witness ett the stand. Mr. Clark took the stand and testified that the firet bill was an overcharge of $19, which was taken off, and he had paid the balance, and ac- cording to the board prices the bill paid was $99 9000 mnch.

Winter testified that he was employed by the board in making out special assessmenta, and he had every rea- fon to believe the bill in question was trie and correct. He explained that the whole cost of the improvement on H street, between 7th and 13th streets, was divided by the number of front feet thereon—church and school property being first dedueted—to fix therate. The charch property was exempted by an act of Oongress. Mr. M.

Mr. Clark may be unfortunate in residing on F street, where churches are, but ecclesinstically he may be benefited by living directly beneata the dropping of the sanctuary. The testimony shows that he has been charged at the same rate ae bis neighbors. He had his remedy by in- junction, and he shoul! taken that course. Mr. Clark closed th ass, argui that Con- gress bad unconstitation s!ly peed law ex- a churches from taxation. He did not desire one cent that did not belong to him, but it was the principle involved. He thought the speech of General Chipman in Con, Was the best he had heard for the past twenty-five years. He looked upon Mr. Shepherd as a very wise «2 to him no blame could be attached fur uses.

Tue BUELL-CHANDLER SLANDER—Aull Pe- fiiona the Circut Court.—This morning Augus- us 0. Buell, by bis attorneys, Messrs, Birney Blair, filed in the Circuit Court @ petition va writ or certorarie to Judge Snell, of the Police Court, commanding him to send up the rerord and papers in the case of the petitioner, who is charged with criminal libel. The peti- toner sets forth that on the 2d inst., one Zach- a:iab Chandler made an affidavit before Luther 8. Dawson, clerk of the Police Court, charging Mm with ‘criminal libel; that @ warrant was issued tor his arrest on the same day; he was arrested thereon at about 11 o’clock p. m.on the following day; that on the 7th he a and gave bail in $5,000 for his appearance. The pe- Utioner further represents that W. B. Snell is not a duly commissioned judge under the co: stitution of the United States; that said Police Court is not legally constituted for the trial of offences by jury, and the law of January 17th, 1870, does not vest that court with the right of trial by jury. Judge Cartter said that he would be very siow to decide that the act creating the Police Court is unconstitutional, and turn all the thieves and rogues loose on the community. But he would look into this case, and probably hear it on Monday. oe THE BRickravers aAxpD THE Hours oF Lanon.—Last pight the bri (journeymen) held as ence to the question of hours—the bosses having decided to put the ten-hgur rule in force on Monday next.
