The engineer of the District has requested the collector of taxes to charge the sum of one dollar for each and every gas and sewer permit iesued by the engineer's ofice. This request is Dased upon ‘he opinion of ifr. Birney, assistant district attorney. Yesterday Lieut. Hoxie sent a letter to the Commissioners of the District of Columbia as follows :—“ Having been placed in charge of the Bseessment of special imprevementa, I Dave made a preliminary examination, and find that it will be advisable to have prepared by the at- the District a set of rales, based upon all govern the making and obviate in a great for their revision upon complaints made. The large amount involved im these assesements suggests deliberate, can- tious action, and I respectfully recommend that the attorney of the District be requested to pre- pare rules to govern the making up of these as- sesemente. ‘he matter was reterred to the ‘THE DEBRIS ON THE AGRICULTURAL GROUNDS. In response to a request of Hon. F. Watts, commissioner of agriculture, asking that the Foal belonging to the city overnment now on the canal grounds, ining the agricaltural grounds, be removed, the follow- ing wus addressed him to-day by the engineer: Avoust 6, 1874. Hon. F. Watts, Commissioner of Agriculture— ‘Sie: I lirected by the honorable Commis- sioners the District of Columbia to inform you that the cost of removing material from aval yard should. tn their opinion, be defray from your appropriation for improvement of }, and that if arrangements can be to this effect the work may be com- menced at once. Should you decline to oo the expense the Commissioners will hardly fee justified in incurring the expense of immediate removal, but wi —— to use exclusively from that yard and get rid of the material as soon as porsible. Very respectfully, &c., . i. Hox, Engineer, &c. District Commissioner Dennison left this city -— evening for New York, to be absent a few 2 ad PAYING THE SCHOOL TRACHERS. ‘The payment of the school teachers was con- tinued to-day, and the Controller offers to at- tend in bis office from 6 to 8 o'clock this even- ing, in order that the lady teachers may avold the crowd usually found around Columbia Building during the regular office hours. The teachers are paid to the end of their scholastic ear—Jist instant—and the disputed month of arch is included. the apparent duplicatioy Baving been satistactorily explained to the au- ditor. It appears that while @ requisition for $2,000 for teachers’ salaries for the month of March bad been presented, no money had been drawn, though about fifty teachers were paid for that month. These teach were paid by passing their salary bilis in Payment of taxes to parties about to pay taxes. The school treas- arer appears to have disbursed for teachers’ salaries every doliar received for that purpose. He slso claims that all his reports have made, except for the last six months. The school teachers for the county, thirty in num- ber, are receiving their pay to-day, and to- morrow the Georgetown teachers, mnteen in number, will be paid. . The District Fire Department. The Board of Fire Commissioners met last night, President Williams in the chair, and W. B. Reed secretaty. The chief engineer pre- sented bis report for July, showing that 17 alarms were turnedin during the month for Bres, involving a loss of £4,500, on which there ‘was av insurance of ‘00. On the 16th of the month Private Sorrell, of No.4 company, was transferred as acting foreman of No. 2 com- pany, vice Charles Hurdle, sick. Private My- ers, of No. 2 company, was transferred to No.4 company, vice Sorrell, temporarily promo‘ed. Mr. a of fire-slarm tele- graph, repo: at the amount necessarily ex- Bended in repairing damages done to the wires luring the tornado of July 4th was £167.50. He also reported that the District property. in the Washington asylum was entirely unprotected, and the line of telegraph recently used by the Board of Bealth was still up, and could be ob- tained by asking for it. recommended that that course be pursued, and the instruments Becessary be provided; referred to the commit- tee on fire-alarm telegraph. ‘Applications of Kichard Lee and Michael Connor for positions as privates were filed. The superintendent of the fire-alarm tele- graph was instructed to change the box the truck and engine houses from the outs! the inside of the building. Mr. Collins the committee on apparatus, reported . fom back, without ary recommendation, the communica- tion of the Silsby Manufacturing company in Tegard to repairing engine No. 4, and there was some discussion on the matter, during which it was stated that engine No.4 needed repairs badly, but the apparatus was of peculiar con- struction, and that the boring of the necessary elliptical pumps and cylinders in this city would meceseitate the construction of 2 lathe for that special purpose, taking some time and entail- img heavy expense. Mr. Morgan moved that the president and of the board be in- structed to communicate with the District Com- missioners view to requesting the Secre- tary of the Navy to bave the engine repaired at the Washington navy yard, as it had rendered good service in <a of the Navy de- partment. The mot agreed to. _—— Dr. Lzow REARRESTED AND SENT TO Jatt. Last night, Detectives Sargent and McEltreeh Giscovered Dr. Edward T. Leon, alias Leon ‘Thompson, who, it will be remembered, was in jail awaiting his trial on the charge of abortion ‘on one Susan McLaughlin, and was released on the 10th of July on 35,000 bonds gtven by his mother-m-law, Mrs. Harriet Richards. As the time drew nigh for the yong: Bed the court Leon jomped the town, just about the time his mother-in-law was about to surrender the authorities in order to release her- self from responsibility. When the case was galled in court Leon was non est, and has not been seen hereabouts until yesterday, when he returned and took quarters at the Owen House, registering his name as Edward T. Leon, from Providence, R. I. A bail-piece was at once issued from the court, and placed in the hands Of Detectives Sargent avd McElfresh, who dis- covered bim eating his supper at Harvey's sa- loon, when they spproacbed him, and he was astonisbed to find himself in limbo again.

THE COLOR QUEATION. Mr. J. E. Miller suggested that the association recommend to the committee of seventy the appointment on the committees of Messrs. J. A. Gray, James Wormley, and Alfred Jones, colored men and members of the association. He desired to know if their names were omitted intentionally or Ss rpenreeoe Mr. Gray said this was @ political organi a and he hoped the question of color would not be raised. Mr. G. E. Kirk moved that the executive committee be instructed to appoint on some of the sub-committees arepreeentation from Soath Wash }, which matter had been overlooked; a 5 . Jesse B. Wilson submitted A PREAMBLE AND RESOLUTIONS setting forth that “it was clearly established by the testimony presented before the late Com- mittee of Investigation, —— other things, that a large number of unlawful contracts were awarded by the late Board of Public Works, involving expenditure of large sums of money, and that excessive prices were to be paid for the improvements to be un- der such contracts; that it is reported that the board of Commissioners have recognized many of these unlawful contracts, and have deter- mined toecontinue the prosecution of the im. provements embraced therein and let at such excessive prices; therefore, that a special com- mittee be —. whose daty it shall be to take immediate pe ood either by representing the true aes ——— to said Com. missioners, or by brin; @ necessary suit or suits in the courts of e District to arrest aud ppt! further action by said Commissioners in this direction; that until the indebtedness of this District be ascertained, as required by the recent act of Congress, no farther improve- ments should be made unless in exceptional cases, where the necessities of the public im- eS demand the same; and that in these latter cases the work shall not be begun until new contracts have been made after public ad- vertisement to secure proper competition.” DISCUSSION OF THE CONTRACT RESOLUTIONS. Mr. Wilson said it was one of the great ob- jects of the investigation to prevent further work being doue under the old contracts. He moved a suspension of the rules, and that the matter be discussed and acted on at once. Mr. A. Grant said there were eady three separate resolutions upon the same sabject be- fore the committee of seventy, and no action had been taken. Dr. Snodgrass desired to know if the com- mitte ot seventy had power to adopt measures affecting the interests of the ‘tion with- out the full meeting of the association endorse such aetion. Col. Philip was in favor of leaving the whole matter to the committee of seventy. ‘Mr. Wilson said the matter required tmme- diate action, as the work under the old con- tracts was being prosecuted, and bills were being made against the taxpayers, who had got to foot the costs. This work should be stopped by suit, injunction or otherwise. ‘Mr. N. D. Larner said the matter was before the committee of seventy, and the best thing they could do was to furnish that committee ris, Wm. with all the information in relation to the con- tracts whicb they could get. Key. C. W. Dennison asked what evidence they bad that the work is being «one at the prices established by the Board of Public ‘Works; but no one coald inform him. Mr. A. Grant said the tax-payers’ association Was willing to have such work done as is neces- sary to be done, but it should be done by letting it out by bids, and to honest men. Loox at J.O. Evans, look at Sam Strong and such contract- ors, who are going on with District work at the same old prices. If there were among the old contractors any who have fair and honest con- tracts, at honest prices, he thought the associa. tion should not embarrass the District Commis- sioners by clamoring against them. Dr. Snodgrass moved to strike out all relating to law suits; they would find themselves in law suits fast enough,without the aid of resolutions. He thought the Commisstoners were trying to do the best they could, and thought them hon- est and capable men. Here Mr. Wilson offered an additional resoln- tion, that the chairman of the committee of seventy be instructed to appoint a special com- mittee of three, to whom the resolutions shall be referred, and —— to the committee of seventy. This was ypted, and the association acjourned. Two NEW STATUES will be put in place in the public Fquares of this city daring the present year. One of these, the bronze statue of Gen. Jobn A. Rawlins, chief of staff to General Grant while in command of the armies of the United States, and subsequently ot War during the earlier portion of the first Presidential administration of General Grant, bas already reached here, and is now awaiting the pedestal contracted for with the Westham Granite Company, near Richmond, Va. The statue will be placed in Rawlins’ Square, im- mediately southwest of the new State Depart- ment. The other statue is of Abraham Lincoin, and executed in Rome, by the sculptor Ball. The tund which purchased this was commenced by a subscription of five dollars sent bg Balm woman to the United States Sanitary Commis- sion for the purpose, immediately after the signing of the emancipation proclamation. At the last session Congress et $3,000 for & pedestal. The statue will be placed in Lin- coln Square, about a mile due cast of the main eastern portico of th pitol. ARREST OF an ArED Convict.—_James Boswell, colored, who killed a colored girl in Alexandria on the 4thof Jaly, 1870, and was tried in 15i1 and sentenced to the Kichmond penitentiary for six years, escaped from prison about three weeks ago and made his way to this city. On Tuesday he, in company with others, was arrested for being drank and disorderly, and yesterday was sent to the workhouse. While im the dock at the Police Court Mr. Rhodes, the batliff, thought he recognized him as the man who was tried for mu'der of the e& and communicated his suspicions to De- ‘ectives McElfresh and Miller, who proceeded to the workhouse yy attern: him to jail to aw: Virginia.

In Governor Bramlette’s card, published below, he gives reasons ~ it which will ——— without question by every one. The management in this instance, consulting the interests of ticket- holders and ‘those designing to become ticket- holders, have not waited until the last day to make this announcement, but, just as soon as they became satisfied of the necessity of this postponement, have promptly made the an- nouncement. It is unnecessary to review the causes which have necessi this action, as they are fully recited in Governor Bramlette’s card. The promptness and frankness with which the public have been made aware of the intention of the mansger will meet with the hearty commendation of every one and excite such ‘® new interest and confidence in the scheme and the ability of the manager to per- furm what he premiees, that there can be no doubt that on the day specified the last concert will be a full one. POSTPONEMENT LAST GIFT CONCERT—A CARD TO THE PUBLIC. The announcement of the postponement of the firth and last concert of the Public Library of Kentucky to the 30th November, I am satis- Hed, will surprise few and disappoint none of the triends and patrons of the enterprise. In- deed, any other course would create dissatis- faction. With a precedent of a postponement of each of the four concerts which have already been given, the public bave very naturally and reasonably expected that im this, by far the largest scheme of the seriesand the larges: ever offered to the world, the same course would be followed, and there are thousands all over the country who are only waiting fur the setting of a certain fized day for the drawing be fore sending in their orders. The sales of tick- ets to this date have been highly satisfactory, ard a large drawing might be had on the 3t<t July, but, feeling assured that a short post- ponement would enable us to close out the re- mainder of the tickets and make the drawing a full one, we bave adopted the course which has evidently been anticipated, and which must eventuate most satisfactorily for ai. Now that the day of the drawing is absolutely determined, there remains no further occasion fer delay, and I would urge the friends of the enterprise, who intend to purchase tickets, to send ip their orders, as it will tax my office to its utmost capacity te accomplish all that is to be dene in the short time which remains for the sale of tickets, Tuos.
