INFORMATION FURNISHED THE JOINT CoM- MITTEE OF CONGRESS BY THE DISTRICT CoMMISSIONERS. In reply to ® communication from Thomas C. Cex, esq., secretary to the Joint Congres- sional Committee appointed to prepare a suitabie form of government for the District of Columbia and report at the next session of Congress, requesting certain iaformation respecting District matters, the District missioners are duties of such officers as are not above are set forth in Webd’s digest. which especial reference is made as to Seticaet wammgisyas Gtache ie “ of wood: p> — fan do. 0.5 ¥ sic! } a Gf iamber: do. salted provisions; comic: sioner of burial grounds; sexton do.; com- mitsioners of markets; trustees of schools; superintendents of chimney sweeps.

In reply to the inquiries as to the number of fire engines, employes, and all aunual ex- pepses of the fire department, the annual re- port of that department for is73 is cited for Lbe information required. In answer to the request for the YEARLY COST OF THE VARIOUS DISTRICT GOVERNMENTS from tbe foundation of the District to the present time, and the ion of the ex- re contributed by the tax-payers and y Congress, respectively, the Commiasion- ers state that it is impracticable to give the desired information, as the records of their office do not farnish thedaia.

The follow- ing items are required to d_ straw house, $3,000; four - power elevators, $2,000; inclosing wall, $60,000. The above estimate contemplates tbe employment of prison labor whenever possible, and I wouid recommend that Cona- gress be requested to make the necessary appropriation. The character of the whole orm is excellent In every respect, and the | accommcdations being ample, 1 would rec- ommend that its use be not restricted to that of a jail simply, but that the necessary legislation be obtained from Congress for converting it into @ penitentiary, which would effect a considerable saving to the government, as workshops could be erected within the proposed enclosure and the insti- tution mace self-sustaining. eae net PATENTS TO WaSHINGTONIANS AND OTHERS.—The following patents have been ted to residents of the [ ict of Colam- ia.

The Trotting at Benning s. OPENING DAY OF THE FALL MEETING— GOLDSMITH’S MAID ON THE TRACK. Yesterday was the first day of the fall meeting of the Washington Driving Park, at Benning’s. There was a large attendance, many being attracted by the announcement that the celebrated trotter,Goldsmith’s Maid, Would trot against the time she made at the Rochester course—2:14. The rain of the night before bad made the track heavy, and many Aggregate. Deduct value of streets, &c. pcople supposing there would bé no trot, did not attend. It was e that would be it from many presen’ Baltimore, but the Pimlico running races there having been S- on account of the rain, naturally inferred that the track at Bennings could pot be got in order for the trot. There was on the Pm eg) the trot for the 2:37 class 100 for District and Virgin\a horses, $50 lo first, $25 to second, $15 to third, and #10 to fourth, in which O. J. Schoolcraft’s Lady Maury, Yoder’s Hunter, 8. L. Sehool- craft's Rignold, C. Hopoer’s Ned Buckley, and J. H. Middieton’s Jersey boy, besides the trot of Goldsmith’s Maid. It was decided tbat the first beatin this race should be trot- ted beiore Goldsmith's Maid Wwoujd be brovght out. ENTER—THE $75.00 TROTTER. Ata few minutes to 4 o'clock, the running mate for the Maid, Redbird, driven by W. H. Dobie. scon the Maid entered on the scene, driven by Hi.

GOLDSMITH MAID FAILS TO BRAT 2:14, After being warmed up a little, the Mala got off with a high step, with Redbird behind her, and without @ break made the first quarter in 37 seconds, the half mile in 1:12, acd the mile in2:25y. This seemed todamp- ep the enthusiasm of the crowd, many ha: ing put up money thatahe would beat 2: and others 2:20. Afver apother heat in the 2:37 race, the Maid appeared — getting the word go.sbe made the frst quarter in 35 seconds, the half mile in 1:08, and the milein 2:18% passi-g the wire a length ahead of her mate. Mr. Britton snpoupced from the judges’ stand that, owing to the heavy condition of tbe track, caused by the rain of the night before, the mare would make no furtner effort to beat ber time. The owners of Goldsmith Maid are confi- dent that she can beat 2:14, and lately, after ® tot over the Pottstown course, offered to bet $5,000 that she could make a mile in 2:12 over that track. The Maid will soon start for California, stopping at severe! of the principal cities o: interior. She will probably remain here until Saturday, and an effort will be made to have another exhi- bition of her speed at Benning’s.

For what other purposes soch a large sum of money can be rightfully expended is beyond the reckouing of your committee.
