THE DISTRICT COMMISSIONERS SAY. In relation to the removal of Mr. Forsythe from the office of District surveyor, the Dis- WHAT their intention por desire teatro ssn - publicity to the causes whicn le: em forueh action, as they —— wish to inflict in upon his many friends. seen een OMMISEIONER PHELPS. After the receipt of the note from the Com. missioners revoking bis commission (pub- lished in yesterday’s STAR), Mr. Forsythe met Commissioner Phelps, —_ ex. pressing his great surprise, asked to know the cause which led the Commissioners to tuch action. Captain Phelps replied that he SOU hen oe ine public required a change e pub Peet eeene, bat fr. Forsythe ro gp to 5 re explicitly the causes, he could Eel the information by calling at the office Of the District Commissioners. Mr. For- sythe expressed the wish that the Commis- sioners give such information as they had to nyon them. Commissioner Phelps replied No, that they would prefer to converse with him upon the subject. Soon afterwards Mr. Forsythe ealled at the Columbia butiding, and finaing COMMISSIONER HRYAN he bad the honor of having received acom- munieation notifying him of the revocation of bis commission as surveyor, and said he had callrd to get a letter from the Commis- sicners clearing him of all official fault as canse of removal. Judge Bryan said he cer- ta nly could not give him any such letter, as 1! would stuitify their action, and besides there were faults. After considerable con- versation. in whieh Mr. Forsythe referred to the long time he had been in the Public ser- viee, and his faithful discharge of duty, &c., &e. the Commissioners stated that ‘they coula not absolve him from official fault, bur decided to give him the benefit of his own statement, aud thelr own reasons in general * “FRRORS OF JUDGMENT” The followang paper was given him signed b: be two Commissioners: n compliance with your request we rfully state that your removal from the ¢ fice of Surveyor of the Distriet of Colam- bia was irdnéed by our conviction that it was demanded by public policy and in the interests of the District.

E. church, Georgetown, judgment was at fault being a mati which our opinions differ widely from y own Mr. Forsy in aur the soon afterwards sent a mes- serger to the Commissioners’ office with the letter published in yesterday's STAR. Almost Hately after the delivery of this note r reappeared, and JED THE COMMISSIONERS good grounds for their aciton. Commissioner Bryan called his attention to his letter Just at hand: acknowleding the receipt of the first letter of the Commis- sloners— the dismissal—but ignoring the last one, for which he had made so urgent an ap- aj. and suggested that for his own good he ad better keep cool and quiet; he also re- quested Mr. Forsythe to change the phrase: olegy of bis letter, so as to embrace an acknowledgment of both letters of the Com- missioners. Commissioner Bryan then, in a short time, convinced Mr. Forsythethat they had abundant grounds for taking the action they bad, reciting to him in detail some of the reasons for their action, among them THE K-STREET ASSESSMENTS. The facts in this case may be stated as fol- lows:—Some months since the District Cox missioners, after considerable research the subject, adopted a uniform rate of sewer taxes, which was equal to the cost of laying # Sfteen-inch pipe sewer in every sireet throughout the city. A brick barrel sewer was found to be necessary on K, from 7th to North Capitol streets, the actual cost of which was $2,9245. A fifteen-inch pipe sewer would have cost $14,115.39, which, under the rule adopted, was the proper amount to be assessed against the Property holders, and which was assessed. The dif- ference between the aboveamounts, $15,857.06) should have been charged to the general fund. Instead of which the surveyor ordered | it to be charged up to the footwalk improve- ment on that street, and it was so charged. ‘There are several instances of just this sort of irregularity ail over the District the Com- missioners have discovered. Mr. Forsythe could make no answer to this particular instance of excessive charge, | except that the District had not been the lorer; but this Kind of logic did not satisfy Mr. Bryan. ANOTHER CHARGE. Some days since Mr. Columbus Alexander cailed upon the District’ Commissioners aud informed them that he had been examining the reports of the assessors, and discover d tLat although the improvement of Connecti- 2.000, the Surveyor or seme one in his had charged the prop- «erty owners along that avenue in their 4s- Fessments $196,000; and that similar over- charges bad been made for other improve- ments. The Commissioners, it is under- stoed. will investigate the matter. dhe esetecsishonn CERTIFICATES OF INDEBTEDNESS FOR PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE REPAVEMENT.— Columbus Alexander, through his coansel, advited Acting Secretary McCormick this morning that he bad learned thatthe Com- stioners of the District of Columbia, had termi: ed to deliver the unpaid certificates of ind: biedress against private property fronting on Pennsylvania avenue to the Secretary of the Treasury, and that it was expected that these certificates would reach the contractors by this circuitous ronte, that he, Mr. Alexander, had begun a suit to con- test the validity of these certificttes in his own bebalf, and in behalf of many others, who felt that these frequent and excessive | assessments were unjustand oppressive for the improvement of avenues owned by the government of the United States in fee si n- ple; and especially of avenues that had be- come great national highways, and that it would be urjust to allow these certificates to pass into the bands of third parties aud tnno- cent holders until the decision of this suit, as the law see med to require that thr certificates should be retained by the Commissioners until atleast the expiration of oue year be- fore action was taken to sell, &c. The Act- ing Secretary announced that fell oppor- tunity should be given to Mr. Alexander and his counsel to be heard, before any disposi- ton was made of the certificates. — oe THE Grrso!

The different committees have been untiring and for- bearing. Friendships have been made that will endure ase of the peculiar ciream- stances attending ‘heir foundation, old dif- ferer ces have been settled and new acquaint- ances made which will keep green the mem- ory of this camp a long time. If no other good bad been accomplisbed than the gath- ering into closer communion of the different cburehes it would be much, but tu addition lukewarm Christian hearts have beeu warmed and 58 souls have been born into the Kingdom of God. THE MORNING SERVICES. At &% a. m. to-day there was a Praise meeting, led by Rey. A. H. Ames, which was not only well attended, but every one seemed to be apxious to give their testimony tor Christ from the beginning to the close. The meeting was continued until the 10% o'clock service was announced.

About 25 penitents came forward, among whoin was a lady who, tn coming forward, before she reache:! the altar rejoiced in the forgiveness of her sins. About, 20 others were converted before the close of the meeting, which kept open until ten min- utes after 11 o'clock, and finally closed by the singing of the “Old Ship of Zion.” DEATH IN CAMP. This morning, at a little past 7 o'clock, the infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John H. Mitchell, ot Ryland chapel, aged 9 months, died.

M. THE RIGHT TO TURN PASSESGERS OyT | oF Caxs.—The supreme court of Obio, ina recent case in which the Cincinnati, Hamil- | ton and Dayton railroad compay was con- | cerned, has ruled upon the right to turn pas- | sengers out of cars for non-payment of fare: | “It appeared that the rates of fare fixed by | the company,and which by its established | rules it was made the duty of the conductor | to demand, were higher than those allowed by law. The plaintiff tendered what he claimed to be, and what was ultimately held | to be the legal rates, and. upon refusal to pay more, was ejected from the cars, but without | ‘any rudeness or unnecessary violence. It also ——— that the plaintiff, at the time be took passage. knew the established rates, and expected to be ejected from the ears, i tending to bring an action for such ejection in order to test the right of the company to charge the established rates. It was held that the intiff was only entitled to com- ‘neatory damages, aud that it was compe- | ent for the company, for the purpose of mit- ipating damages or preventing the recovery of exemplary damages, to give in evidenc> | subsequent declarations of the plaintiir, tending to prove that his object {u taking = on the cars was to make money b: ringing suits against the company for do- Se or receiving their established rates of fare.” AXOTHFR BLOW AT TRADES UNTONS.— Jchn Williams, Michael Hays and Joho Weinbold were recently Seamen's Boarding-house Keepers’ Benevo.
