PAVING OFF THE EMPLOYES. To compiy with a request of Mr. Buckner, cbairnian of the House District Committee, for information as to the er tures in- curred by the Commissiorers of the District since the date of their Jast report, December 1, 1875, the Commissioners of the District of Columbia have directed that all outstanding bill be presented to them for settlement, that they may make as complete s report as pos- sible up to the end the present month. @ various pay rolis of the employes of the District, school teachers, police » fire department, &e., have been audited, and the | aie bas commenced paying them SALUTE FOR DECORATION DAY. The District Commissioners have made requisition of 40 blank 12 pound Sorye witha field piece, for the purpose of '€ & national salute in honor of the deeo- ration of the Union soldiers’ graves on the 30th instant. A JUDICIAL DECision or INTEREST TO BvILpers—Yesternoon afternoon, in the Equity Court, Judge Wylie, the case of the District of Columbia vs. Charles T. Davis and Edward Meddler was heard. The facts are that Meddler is en: in erecting for Davis on the north side of L street, between 13th and 1ith streets northwest, a row of six three story brick dwellings. The permit re- quired that the buildings should be built in Sccordance with the ‘building regulations” of the District. The regulations require that all three-story houses shall have their foundation of is inch walls, and party walis in the first story of ifinches. The buildings mentioned bad reached very nearly the second story when Inspector Plowman dis- covered that the walls were but 9 inches, and gave notice to the builder to cease work. This notice not being obeyed. the Commis- sioners entered suit for an injunction to re- strain the erection of the 9 inch walls. Tue defendant produced the certificate of Augus- tus Davis, builder, that the walls of these bouses were amply sufficient to sustain the weight which it was designed to put upon them; Sut Judge Wyite heid that the bull! > z regulations bad the force of law, ani e.- ined the plaintiff from erecting the build- ings with wails of less than M inches. It is said this has been made a test case, and that bereafter 1i ineh walls will be required for the first story of all three story brick build- i "Ene decision of the court was not because of any want of safety in the construction of the bulidin<s, which, it was admitted, were entirely secure, but to sustain the technical requirements of existing butlding regula- Uens, and the opinion did not refieet on the builcer of the houses in this case. —e——.

This morning, in the Court in General Term, Albert Grant, by Mr. Barrett, filed a motion to continue the cause of Heustis & Browning agt.Grant et al., on the ground tbat the decree eppealed from was passed by Hon. Andrew Wylie, and that complaint of the official conduct of said Wylie has beea made to the House of tatives. and said House has taken jurisdiction of the matter and has ted & committee to ascertain whether said Wylie shali be im- peached; and the said wee is sitting in the very cause concerning which the investiga- hi moter, — a 8 pro’ SS remarked that he did not see what ring the protest had on the caso, and be directed that it should not be filed, as it bad no business here. Judge Wylie said that he was a member of the court, and had been sworn to perform hisduty. He had that daty as to Grant ashe had to other parties, and the misfortune was that Grant’s cases have not been sustained, ashe could remember in a instance, for their own defect of He would not recoguize that even the House of Re; tatives ean, by pass- ing & reso'ution, drive a judge from his post of duty. The charges are not even under oath, and he should not, for one moment, Fr: - gard the pendency of such charges as dis- qualifying bim from sitting in the case.

Verdict Against Street-Car Com- 2; Yesterday afternoon Juite an interesting sult was tried in the Cireuit Court, Judge Humphreys. It was the case of John Tal- | burg against the Metropolitan Rajlroal | company, and the facts were as follows: Plaintiff avout 10 o'clock on the 25th of De- cember last. with his family, took passage | on one of ibe cars of the defendant on 9th | street, near P northwest, to go to their | home, near 44 and K streets southwest, and | the car stopped at the corner of 6th street | and Missouri avenue and they were told it did not go any farther, and they were com- Hed to walk to their homes. Mr. T. rought @ suit for damages before Justice Boswell, claiming $100, and the com- pany sued out a writ of certiorari, on which the case came up. On the trial the company contended that the car was an | extra one, sent down under the orders of the superintendent to bring passengers from Ford's Opera House, that the plaintitr was so informed. This part of the defend- | ant’s evidence was denied by plaintiff. The | court held that under the act incorporating | the company, whien was organized for the | public convenience, it was bound to run its cars up to 12 o’clock at night, and it was its duty, when passengers are admitted to its | cars, to carry them to their destination, whether the car was an extra one or not; and | if it did not doso the plaintiff was entitled | E to actual as well as special dam: for the inconvenience and trouble he in — a verdic: ing bome.

Rev. Mr. Freeman referred to the feeling at Mount Pleasant, and stated that he expccted to commencea series of meetings there on Sunday night, and asked help there- | for. Dr. Presbrey related @ number of inci- dents of the work done. Mr. Buchanan re- lated an interview he had had with a news- paper man who was fall of infidelity, who, at the close of the interview, requested prayer forhim. A report was made that a good work was in progress at the 15th-street | Presbyterian Church. Rev. Mr. Kramer re- | e from the out-door meeting last even- ng that & number came to the parlors of the agsociation, and twowho had been Catholics were converted. Dr. Noble remarked that | &@ converted Catholic informed him that she knew personally of 26 Catholics who had been converted. Dr. Presbrey offered a prayer, and the enep was closed by ging.

TREATMENT OF A LUNATIC —On theocca- sion of @ recent visit of @ party of prominent yore to the new lunatic asy- as been established by the Sisters of Providence, near that city, Dr. Howard, the Medical Superintendent of that Institution, mage some interesting remarks upon his method of rill bisopinion, it was im; ties and eure them wi! it liquor. He had tried it thoroughly, and founa no medicine bat could be substituted for brand y—noth- pg that would add, in such a material man- ner, to the brain substance, He said, how- ever, that his theory was not new; for the most ancient writers on insanity believed in stimulation,and applied it in the treat- ment of the insane, but the moderna practice runs generally to the use of sedatives. Tne asylum under his charge, he further said, bad been of patients 7 for the reception only about six weeks. and thirty-two ofthem bad already been discharged cured, while —— bis books there were the names of ninety-two more for whose ultimate recovery he had the most sanguine hopes. On all of these patients he had used brandy Itberally, ad in every instance its effects had been y. He would recommend brandy to every lunatic asylum in the world, and no stinted quantities of it at that.

I then took half a bottle of the Bajsam, which has entirely cured me.
