EXEMPT FROM TAXATION. Mr. H. M. Barker, attorney for Mr. J. C. Wil- son, has filed in the collector's office four tax Hen certificates, representing the delinquent taxes due for 1572 on several lots of ground and improvements thereon, assessed in the name of Louisa Hayden, superioress of the ‘Academy of the Sacred Heart of Mary.” This property was conveyed August 24, 1870, to the sald Louisa Hayden _ It is, as its name implies, an educa- tonal institution. Whether it was so used from the date of the transfer, and therefore exempt, the collector is unable to learn from the re- cords, and he has referred the facts to the Com- missioners, requesting information through the regular channels. The papers were in turn re- ferred to Attorney Riddle for an opinion. The attorney has returned them to the Commis- sioners, stating as follows:—“I think Carroll hall (portion of the same) if used as a place for worship in room of a church or cathedral may claim exemption. If any part of it Is rented for secular uses, 80 much should be taxed. I think the school property is alsoexempt. The prima- ry purpose of all these schools ts not to make money. The property ts ‘used for educational purposes and not for private gain,’ within the meaning of the 14th section of the act of Jun+ u, 1 ‘This Is !n accordance with my helding inall these cases.” AN APPEAL FROM VIRGINIANS WHO BRING PRO- DUCE TO DISTRICT MARKETS. Hon. Eppa Hunton, chairman of the House District committee, has forwarded a communi- cation received by him trom several citizens ot Bloomfield, Loudoun county, Va., in which they state that the hucksters and retatl dealers in this city are trying to have a heavy tax im- on the market men, as they are called, aulers of produce to our market. They stat that this is a class of men who they regard as very great convenience to them; they come t them, however, and buy all the surplus pro- duce they have to spare, such as butter, eggs. poultry, &c. Many persons, in fact, have ho other way to dispose of their lus but to sell to these haulers. They supply, the retailers in the market with such articles as the consumers want, which benefits the consumer as well as the produce men. The retailers in the market are really the middie men. They respectfully request Mr. Hunton, as chairman of the Dis- trict committee, to see that these men have justice done them,so that they may not be taken and driven from the business. Mr. Hun- ton endorses on thisas follows: ‘Respectfully referred to the District Commissioners with a strong request that no action be taken as here- in suggested. If any such action ts urged, — lefer it until I can examine into the question.” The District Commissioners have referred the aper to the treasurer and assessor for report. ‘bis has probably: grown outof the fact that these dealers have been required under our ordinances to take out license here as produce brokers, the same as others of our market men who do a similar business, and who are not producers of the artictes which they supply our markets. This license is $25 annually. MARRIAGE Licrnsgs have been issued to W. A. Wimsatt and Florence J. Cleary; Henry x. Gillingham, of Baltimore, and Mrs. Lizzie Mor- rice; Thos.

The report of Edward Clark, architect of the Capitol, was suomitted to the Secretary of the interior to-day. THE CAPITOL BUILDING. Mr. Clark says since the date of the last an- nual report many and important changes have been made, particularly im the southern por- tion of the building. In accordance with plans recommended by the board having in charge the ventilation of the House of Representatives, the Speaker's, Sergeant-at-Arm’s and Report- ers’ rooms, st the south of the hall of the House of Representatives, have been converted into one room, and by means of large openings into their north wall have been thrown open to the corridors between them and the hall thus making a large, light and airy retiring room for members. The blank doorways in the sovth wall of the gallery have been opened, and the rooms and water closet in that portion of the building arranged to suit this modttica- ton. To provide accommodations for the com- mittees and the officers thus dispossessed, sev- eral rooms under the old hail of the House of Representatives have been fitted up, and the folding department, formerly occupying these rooms, trapferred to the cellar below. Considerable work has been doue in this story in preparing for the reception of the doci- ments to be folded and stored there, and to pr: vide space for the working room of the folders, ion of which has been made comfortable for that purpose by putting in wooden flooring. It has been shelved and otherwise arranged for the reception of books and documents. A lift Is being put in for the convenience of handling the matter to be stored there. This arrange- ment will confine the entire folding department to the cellar, and thereby prevent the obstruc- ton of the corridors with books and folding tables as formerly, and will also do away with the moving of trucks over the tessalated floors which has caused great injury to them, and even to the walls and interior columns of the building. A new sieam burp condenser and small boiler has been placed in the basement. The latter will obviate the necessity for run- ning the large bollers in the summer when steam is required only for pumping thus saving both fuel and labor Tne recent fire which occurred in a room in the cellar story, filled with scrap paper, gives ad- ditional force to the recommendation in the last annual report in relation to the insecure condl- tion of the roof and floor of the old hall of the House of Representatives. The semi-circular wall of this room is made of wooden studding covered with laths and plaster; and the floor of the gallery and the ceiling of the document room being also of wood, Ip these rooms there is always a large amount of paper, liable to take fire from the same cause as the recent fire, and I think prudence demands that measures should be taken to prevent this danger by re- moving the wooden portion of the hail and sub- stituting that which would be fire-proof. While a large air duct is being constructed and ample means made for the supply of fresh air in the hall of the House of Representatives, it is important that measures be taken to se- cure for it wholesome air. It has been sug- gested to plant thickly with trees the strip of government land running from the Botanical arden to the Government reservation at the Junction of New Jersey and Virginia avenues. ‘This strip of land lies between the Capitol and the direction from which the malarious winds come; and if this belt be thickly planted, as propos it would in a great measure deflect or purify in part the air, as in particular seasons of the year the objectionable currents of air in a sanitary point of view come from this quar- ter. In my opinion, a wooded belt between the source of tl malarial air and the Capitol would tly improve the healthiness of the air furnished the hall. This measure I consider the most important step that can be taken to pcre purer air forthe hall. The brick floors ve been taken up from the consulting rooms of ie Supreme! Court, and wooden floors sub- stituted. Mr, Clark proceeds to recommend the neces- sity for more rooms being added to the Capitol building, and architectural propriety suggests that the center ion of the building should be projected at the eastern front. GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE. As provided! by the act approved March 3d, 1579, @ fire proof extension has been erected to this building, which consists of two parts; one 60 feet by 60 feet; the other 86 feet S inches by 53 feet $ inches, with a corridor connection with the old building 10 feet by 12feet. The whole four stories high. The lower portion is already occupied as a store house and machine shop, and the upper stories are being filled with tables, cases, &c., fcr the enue and binders. The whole will be completed and occupied be fore the meeting of Congress, LIGHTING THE CAPITOL GROUNDS. Ii will be seen by the accompanying repor of Assistant Engineer J. H. Rogers, electrician of the Capitol, that by means of the Dymano electric machine, recently put in operation, the voltaic battery formerly used for lighting the hall, &c., has be superceded. Mr. Clark says that owing to the reduction of estimates and the fact of the called session, there is due the gas company $2,593.24. Mr. Rogers says In his report:—“Experiments are now being made with a view to lighting the hall of the House of Representatives by the electric ght. We have succeeded in over coming the difficulties of the staglamite, that of the crator, and also that of pressing equi- distance cf the electrodes, and now only a slight flickering remains, which we hope soon toovercome. Such is the sensibility of the eye to the flickering rays of light, that we hesitate to apply the electric light in the halls of legis- noe in its present comparatively imperfect state. Annual Re IMPROVEMENT OF CAPITOL GROUNDS. The - vements upon the east front were cracked in several places during the severe cold of the early winter owing to the unequal con- traction over the large surface, but. no perma- nent injuries were sustained. * * * Nonew pave- ments were laid during the present year. * * * ‘The main approach from Pennsylvania avenues now being finished as far as the lower plaza by carrying forward the design in mosaic previous- ly adopted. Maryland avenue has been com- menced in a similar manner. During the year there has been 963 square yards of mosaic and 11,500 square yards of plain work. * * * The stone screen wall along ist street has been extended around the Maryland avenue en- trance. * ** Red granite lamp piers have been placed at the carriage entrance leading east- ward from the Pennsylvania avenue circle. These are to be surmounted by bronze lanterus ot ppreprae design. The low rustic wall, bordering a portion of the east park, has been extel entirely around the northern bounda- ry. The opine walls along the side of the Pennsylvania avenue walk are now under con- tract and will be finished the present season. The corners at Maryland and Pennsylvanta avenues, purchased to complete the circles at these points, were put in possesssion of the United States November 20th. * * * The air guct leading from the southwest ground to the House of Representatives is rapidly approachii completion. The air shaft to constructed of rock faced ashlar bonded with molded courses of dressed granite, is now in process of construction, and will also be completed before the assembling of Co! The subject of the ‘and stairways and the terrace at the western ont merit the attention and favorable action of Congress. THE BOTANICAL GARDEN. Owing to the breaking of the Tiber sewer, by the beavy rains last season, the District au- thorities were compelled to enlarge that por- ton of the sewer which now runs through the garden, and in order to get the required area of the sewer they were compelled to ralse the arch higher than the surface of the garden, and in es ees of the mouna which covers this sewer being so high, the main walk of the gar- den and those running from it should be d to sult the new grade thus rendered necessary. COURT HOUSE, CITY OF WASHINGTON. Mr. Clark recommends the taking out of the resent hot-air furnaces and substituting steam eating in their stead. “ I also feel called on to notice the insecure condition of the land records of the District of Columbia, now filed in the up- per story of this building. The joists, cetlings, Stairs and roof of this portion of the building are of wooden construction, so that in case of re there would be great difficulty in securing these land records, which are invaluable to the ¢'tizens of the District.

MILK River, COL., Sept. 29.—Tnornburg’s com- mand was attacked ina bad canon at noon to- day, one mile south from here, on our march to the agency, and retreated in good order to the wagon train, where we are now entreaching ourselves as fast as possible. :30 p.m.—Thornburg was killed instantly during the retreat. Capt. Payne was wounded in two places slightly. Lieut. Paddock and Capt. Grimes were also painfuily, but not dan- erously wounded. ‘Ten enlisted men and ‘agonmaster McKinstry were kilied, and at least twenty-five men and teamsters were wounded. The command is now very well sheltered, but now and then are beard guns of new hostiles who have just arrived. Our poor mules and horses are getting it all around. The red devils fired the grass all around us to burn us out. .,, Another Attack Expected.

Ringgold Cooper, accused of forgery by Messrs. Glynn, Mills « Co., the bankers, was to- day arraigned before the Lord Mayor at the Mansion House police court. Curiosity was on liptoe tosee the man of many disguises. As the hearing took place in the heart of the city, the court was thropged with bankers and stock brokers, who felt themselves closely concerned in the Issue of the case. The prisoner has a handsome and striking face, and a small classt- cally shaped head, which, with 1ts mass of dark and wavy hair, a singular resemblance to that of the actor Booth. Nevertheless, there is a sad look and wistfull expression in his eyes, asof a hunted stag at He was very cool. He was dressed in a ark business coat and light trousers. During the reading of the affi- davits in the Glynn case, he stood thoughtfully looking out of the window over the Lord May- or’s head, or glanced up at the drawn sword which is fastened to the wall above the seat of justice. Sometimes he seemed mindful of his Situation and covered his face with his hands. During the opening of the Bank of England case he took notes assiduously. Nothing new was developed, though it seems that Cooper had lived at peice ame oad for two years. The case was remanded till Monday. Parole in the Pool: A London 5} of yesterday says:—A good deal of money at the odds, 100 to 8 against him, went on Mr. Lorillard’s Parole to-day in the Cesarewitch stakes, to be run at the New Mar- ket second October meeting, Tuesday, October 7th.

Father McCarth: Arrest. New York, Oct. 1.—Justice Frederick W. Ricord, of Newark, before whom the Rev. Father McCarthy, of St. Pius’ church, East Newark, was arraigned on acharge of drunken- ness Monday evening, has preferred charges against Officer bea da who, with Officer Glovi, made the arrest. The charges and specitica tons have been drawn up and will be present- ed to Mayor Yates to-day. The charge is that the officer suppressed charges which might, and, the judge thinks, ought to have been pre- ferred st the priest. The judge continues, that the charge of drunkenness, one of reckless driving, one of assault and battery, and one of creating a disturbance ought io have been preferred. The Rev. Mr. McCarthy’s triends cl that his arrest was an outrage and that it was without warrant of law. Mon- day afternoon he started out for a ride with his curate, the Rev. Father Murphy. The horse e lous, he claims, and they were thrown out. The horse was seized by some parties, and an altercation followed, in which Father McCarthy became highly excited. In Ubis state he was arrested and with much difti- culty conveyed to the station-house. His friexds claim that his condition was the result of recent fllness. The Markets.
