Owing to some mis- understanding the meeting was not fully at- tended, and those present spent the time in in- formal discussion upon sundry subjects. Mr. c. P. Culver stated that no opportunity had been afforded the committee of citizens to hold conference with the sub-committee on railroads of the Senate District committee, owing to the fact that Senator Whyte, its chairman, had not been present much the past two weeks There Were sundry matters connected with this rail- road which they desired to place before them, 15, Thursday y night, and the marine among them the subject of violation of the char ter by the manner of occupation of Maryland and Virginia avenues as mmon freight depot. Among ot! iScus general favor. was the passage by Congress of a bill fixing a death penalty for the crime of rape in the District of Columbia. Another matter was the project of asking Congress to make an appropriation for the improvement of the pub- Ne reservations of South Washinzton, especiatly those on Maryland and Virginia avenues, now cecupied by the railroad tracks, which are ex- pected to be very soon remov —- AT THE TENTH UAL COMMENCEMENT of the medical department of Howard University, which takes piace at Lincoln Hall this evening’ the charge to the class will be delivered by Pro- fessor Thomas B.

Heavy VERDICT AINST THE District.—The jury in the case of D: - Du Bose against the District of Columbi: ich has been on trial before Judge Cox, in Cireuit Court S for two days—this morning returned a verdict’ for the plaintiff! for ten thousand dollars. Dr. Du Bose, While on a visit to Washington in February; 1877, fell over a walled place in the sidewalk on 13th street, above F street, and was so severely injured that disease of the spine was induced, and he at last became insane.

The vote as to Pinn’s guilt, after they had heen out some time, stood 11 to 1, and the “not guilty” man was certain he had taken the right tion, and his colleagues could not argue him out of it.

Mass Meeting at MeCauley’s Hall. Committee of Public Safety ‘Ap- ‘pointed. In response to the call for a mass meeting, signed by “Many Citizens,” published in THE Sra last evening, McCanley’s Hall, on Pennsyl- vania avenue, between 2d and 3d streets south- east, was crowded to overflowing, and many people were unable to gain admission. Mr. S. H. Walker called the meeting to order, and read the call in THe Stak. He nominated A. N. Meeker for chairman, and he was elected. Mr. A. P. Clark was selected as secretary. Mr. C. E. Joyce moved the appointment of a committee on resolutions, agreed to; and Messrs. C. E. Joyce, J. L. Hayghe and G.'W. Bassett were ap- pointed. Mr, Walker said that while we have such a small number of policemen they should not be detailed to open the doors of the carriages of foreign ministers while large sections of the city are left without any protection. Even since the outrage of last Friday night an- other had been perpetrated—a daring ruffian having walked up to a lady promenading with her husband, and rudely jostied her in the ribs, while she fearing her husband would get into dimewtty by it, if he resisted the insult, dragged him off. They all know what the board of pub- lic works had done for them—made canals, by cutting down the streets, in which these hellish scoundrels can drag their helpless victims. He would move that acommitte be appointed on permanent organization. They should not only appeal and plead, but thunder at the doors of Congress for the protection which government professes to give its people. This committee should have power to investigate the situation, and take what action is necessary for the pro- tection of their families and firesides. A COMMITTEE ON PUBLIC SAFETY. Mr. Joseph Loughran moved a substitute res- olution that a committee on public safety be ap- pointed, which was adopted, and the committee was appointed as follows: S. H. Walker, Richard Owens, F. 8. Curtis, William Dayton, W. H. T, Joseph Loughran, Joseph Sanderson, les Morgan, W. C. Weeden, A. R. Searle, J. Marceron, W. W. Burke, ries Joyce, Dr. S. A. H. McKim, Leon Dessing, W. E. Voght, Dennis Ryan, Johu De nar, Gabriel Edmonston, R. Nelson, George Juenemann. Lewis Neurath, Chase Harrington and George F. Harbin. Mr. Cunningham opposed so much talk for the newspapers and did not think reporters should be present. Mr. Walker stated the committee would call a meeting and “there would be no giving away.” It was not improper for them to ask protection. [A voice. * Hang the man first and get protection after- wards.”] Mr. George Juenemann said one of the committees appointed had waited on the Distrtet Commissioners, and they were trlet committee. ‘Things had gone so far tl if we cannot have the protection that we are entitled to, we had betfer take the law in our own hands. Mir. W. E. Vermillion moved that a committee of tive be appointed to ascertain If the police have the right party in custody, and report to-morrow night. RESOLUTION: Mr. Joyce, from the committee on resolutions, reported a preamble and resolution to the effect that “the vast extent of territory which the | limited number of Metropolitan police are re- quired to patrol, and the rapid merease in the population of the District of Columbia since the organization of that force on its present. bas' demand an enlargement in the number of guar dians of our lives and property, in order that they may be better enabled to keep under con- trol @ lazy, Idle and vicious class who infest the Distrie Who do not scruple to commit any off trom murder down to petit larceny; that the bistory of crime in the District of Columbia for the past fifteen years will show that some of our best citizens have been murdered and robbed, and that various other outrages, promi. nent among which 1s rape, have been commit- ted by the worthless class ‘referred to; that we urgently and earnestly request the Senate and House ‘of Representatives in Congress as- sembled—first, to immediately add to the Metro- politan police force at least one hundred men; Second, that they (the Senate and House) amen the criminal code of the Distriet of Columbia by making the crime of rape a capital offence; third, that the chairman of this meeting is hereby authorized to appoint a committee of twenty-five citizens, whose duty it skall be to bring the subject matter of these resolutions to the attention of Congress.” WANT TO HANG THE MAN. Mr. Cunningham 0 any resolutions bolstering up the bill to increase the police force, because the object was another kind of business. They should hang the man. Some one replied that there need not be so much talk about hanging the man. The question was how shall we get him. Tell us how to get him and you'll find plenty to put the noose around his neck. Mr. A. Pumphrey remarked that the question of police was not before the meeting. ‘e want less police now; the fewer tae better for the work to be done. A vote was then taken on the resolutions and they were adopted. Mr. Cunningham replied that they could adopt resolutions and bolster up Major Morgan as much as they please, but he and his frien: meant business, and they wold hoid a meet ing where reporters would not be allowed. CAUTION. Mr. Vermillion moved that a committee be appointed to ascertain if the guilty party is under arrest, and Feport, to-morrow night at ich and F streets. Mr. Hushes counseled the meeting to be cautious, to ascertain first If the right party is under arrest, and to do noting rash. The motion was lost. A CROWD GO TO THE JAIL. A motion was made that they go to jail at once and take the man out, and Mr. Meeker and others having retired from the platform amid cries of “‘here’s the rope,” &c., the crowd left the hall and started for the jail. At the corners the crowd was augmented, and by the time the jail was reached there were nearly a thousand men ‘thered. Of course the police were at once in- formed, and by the time they reached the jail a detachment of mounted police was on the ground. The crowd was somewhat noisy, but the guards a Ot open the door, and finally ‘persed. they dis; £ ‘eo. F. Harbin telephoned to Tag Star office to-day that he did not authorize the use of his name, and that he is not a member of the above committee of safety. —<——_—_ District Government Affairs. A FALLING OFF IN RECEIPTS. The amount received on account of District Special assessments on the 25th of February, the day pricr to the order suspending the issu- ing of any more drawback certificates, was $1,960.30, of which amount $1,193.86 was In draw- back certificates, and $659.56 In S_per cent cou- pons and interest. On the 26th—the day on which the suspension order was issued—$634.37 was received in drawbacks before the order was recetved, and the amount tendered that day in drawbacks and refused after the order of ‘sus- Pension Was made, was $1,148.64. On the 2ith ),964 in drawbacks was tendered and refused. No cash was tendered or recelved. @n the 23th $1,251.27 In drawbacks was tendered and re- fused. On this day $109.52 was paid 1m cash in order to clear a title to property which had been sold. March ist the amount of cash recelved for special assessments was $4.40, a monthly 1n- Stalment of five equal parts. REQUEST FOR POLICE PROTECTION FOR EAST WASH- INGTON, A committee of citizens of East Washington, = 5 | appointed at a meeting held at the corner of 7th | street east and | mint haye addressed a communication to the 1S Maryland avenue, Saturday ‘ict, Commissioners, requesting that a po- lice station and regular police be established for the protection of that community. They state that during the past two years there have been four rapes of young women residing in that im- mediate neighbood,and only in one case have the officers of the law been able to pursue to con- viction and punishment the guilty party. The last outrage Was a most brutal one upon an honest young woman while on her way to church, and in a respectable neighborhood. The citizens whom they represent are unanimous in the conviction that these frequent acts of vio- lence ere entirely due to che utter want of a re- quisite police force, and that the continued neglect of the government to heed the often expressed wishes of this community respecting this pressing want amounts toa promise of immunity from punishment by the government to the criminal classes, and tempts violent and evil-disposed persons to leave their haunts in other sections of the city to prey on that community. They further state that they do not believe such results are intend- ed; that the citizens of northeast Washington are as law-abiding as they are intelligent; and that, as in the past, they will ‘contioue to uphold the law, and do all in their power to preserve its sanctity; as the law appears present only when its or- ficers are present to enforce it, and should the present state of things continue, it may devolve upon the citiz to fall back on their natural rights of self defenee. ‘To this the Commission- ers reply that they have asked Congress for au- thority to increase the police force, and in the meantime all the police protection’ possible to afford shall be given that section of the city. —_+__.

A COMMUNICATION FROM THE DISTRICT COMMIS- SIONERS. Yesterday the District Commissioners sent to Hon. Isham G. Harris, chairman of the Senate District committee, the following: Sim: In answer to the communication of the Senate committee of Feb. 20, 1880. enclosing a resolution of the nate, of Feb. i7,and request- ing information. as to why the general and special taxes assessed against the street rail- Foud corporations in the District of Columbi: which are past due, have not been collected; ant whether any, and ‘if any, what officer has been derelict in the performance of his lawfal duty in this tehalf; and whether additional legislation is required to enforce the collection of safd taxes, the Commissioners have the honor to reply, that, by section six of the act of the govern- of the Disthrict of Columbia, and othér — purpos approved June 20, question of the amount to be to street railway companies was the board of audit in the following “And said board of audit shall also and report to Congress at the next session thereof, the amount equitable charge- able to the street railroad companies on a count of paving along and within the tracks of said companies, pursuant to the charters of said companies or the acis of Congress relat ing thereto, together with their reasons therefor. ‘The report of the board of audit thus called for will be found in Ho. Ex. Doc. No, 170, 43d Congress, 24 session, (pp. 6-12 inclusive.) No action was taken by Congress upon this re- port. The taxes referred to have been the sub- ject of constant litigation and conflict of legal opinion. ‘The question of the legality of the special assessments was only decided by the Supreme Court of the United States, on appea', on the 16th of December, 187s, subsequent to ment. for ists, the charged the pai of an act for the enforcement of the special assessments approved June 19, 1878. Under this act it became necessary to revise the special assessments made in pur- suance of the act of August 10, 1871, remaining unfaid. Before this revision was completed a further act ot Congress, approvdd June 27, 1S required that the pald special assessments, made in pursuance of this act, should also be revised, and extended the time of payment with an abatement of penalties and a reduction of interest, when not specially excepted, until Oc- tober ist. 1879. Owing to the late date of the passage of the act and the enormous labor of the revision, in- volying the re-examination of all vouchers patd for Special Improvements by the board of public works and their successors, it has not been pos- sible to complete the required work. Congress having taken no action upon the report of the board of audit, heretefore referred to, the Com- missioners in reviewing were compelied to base thelr revision upon the opinion of th» Attorney et the District as to the requirement of existing aw. ‘They, therefore, in answer to a request of the Senate committee, on the lth inst. submitted a Statement of the several accountsso far as re- vised, but have not thought it advisable to take decisive action for the collection of the amounts which have been, or may be, found due until the revision shail have been completed, and shall have rece the sanction of Congress. The report of the clerk in charge of the revision of a smen' giving in full the opinions of the attorn bearing on this subject, is enclosed. The board is of the opinion that this matter, having been referred in 1Si4 to the board of audit, and thereby virtually removed from the jurisdic- tion of the Conimisstoners, further legislation is desirable beiore action 1s” taken.

This is a very Frenchy comedy, although toned down somewhat from the Parisian version which is rather too highiy Seasoned to suit American audiences. The plan of the comedy is novel, the situations farcical, and the characters strongly drawn and sharply contrasted. The company ts a good one; in fact the company is stronger than the play, and makes one t that he cannot see them in some of the old English comedies, which they ‘would be so well able to do justice to. There are at least half a dozen male Characters and three or four female ones in “French Flats” so clearly cut and sharply defined that they recall to the readers of French fiction innumerable oddities Who seem resurrected from the almost forgotten pages into actual life. The comedy is so thor- oughly Parisian in tone and treatment, that it will hardly attain the popularity of some other Plays of the same class. But where it is as well given as by this company, the eccentric charac- ter acting isa treat which play goers will do well not to miss. NATIONAL THEATER.—Mary Anderson was preted last night at the National by one of the largest and most brilliant audiences seen in this city. Miss Anderson was enthusiastically received.

A GIRL BABY ABANDONED BY ITS MOTHER.— About 7 o’clock last night a colored woman named Sarah Carter, living on Delaware avenue, between ist and 2d streets northeast, brought a white female infant, about two weeks old, to the fourth precinct station-house.

They had just driven in from Montgomery county, Md., and were about to back up to a stable where they live when the officers stepped in and took them into custody. They gave their names as Harrison Johnson and Timothy Marshall, and state this morning that they live in this alley, and, paving no work to do, have been in the habit of making forag- ing expeditions into the country. In their wa- gon was found fifteen pene of corn and a hog, which had been killed and skinned and thrust into a long sack. They also had in their wagon acrowbar, jimmy, shot five-barrel revol- ver, a big katte, hatchet ‘and a sinall slat knife.
