The estimated number of cubic yards of mud to be excavated was 11,000, (Which appears to be an enormous mass of mat- ter tobe brought up from the bottom, of the cbannel,) Gumped into scows and shipped by boats to oseer’s Point, a distance of seven piles down the river,on the Maryland side. near Fort Foote, where it is dumped.

Viewed the operations of the gigantle dredeing boat, With ts massive machinery propelied by two engines of 1S) horse power, its skillful man- agement, &c., the magnitude of the work does Not look £0 great. THIS DREDGING BOAT is a curiosity when in operation. It is what is known as a clam-shell dredger, having two pon- derous iron jaws, each aitached to a long and heavy timber suait, which are worked with great heavy racket chains, and other appitances, whereby the iron jaws are plunged to > Pot! tom from an clevation sufficient to ena) °) +n to be worked with perfect freedom. When they Teach the boitom the jaws are spread wide open and by their immense weight they are thrust deep Into the mud, and at the same moment are drawn together by chains worked from the deck of the dredging boat, over pulleys drawn by the engines, which at the same time draws up the Plungers with the clam-shell jaws loaded with the dripping mud, and when sufliciently high, another chain attachment draws the two shaits around, swinging them over the mud scow just where the disgorgement js desired When by another quick movement the clam Shell is lowered and the jaws open leaving the five ton mouthiul of mud just where it is Wantcd without so much asa jar to the boat. These movements are_ repeated with surprisiag rapidity, and from adistance the boat and tix- tures in full working trim resembi-3 an fm- mense animated skeleton diving to the bottom of the river for mud. The dredging machine of necessity, has to be quite irequcntiy moved some eight or ten feet ahead which is done by means of cables and anchors worked by the same power as the plunger is work-d, and all the movements are done with ease and quite rapidly, every square foot of the river bottom being reached and the mud removed. This clam shell apparatus is considers the best ap- pliance for such work ever invented, and much Superior for river dredging to the manner of scooping the mud with the old fashioned ma- | P chine formerly used for that purpose.

The bill_to provide a new muntcij code for the District of Columbia was further consid- ered in the House last night. An amendment was adopted requiring the board of equalization of sesessments to complete their labors withia sixty days, and limiting their compensation to five dollars for each day of actual service. When. the section in relation to the taxation of rall- Toads was reached an effort was made to strike out the clause which reqnired that in the valua- or of the real property shall be included pub- Ie grounds occupied by said railroad company. It was ied by Mr. Conger and others that it was unfair t> tax that ope. because its occupation was granted Balti-nore and Potomac Co. as an inducement t) constract their road to and In the city. The amendment Was rejected. The Ho.se ‘Usposed of tuiriy more pages of the Dill, making in all sixty- Seven pages gone through with. THE DEBATE ON THE TAX SECTIONS Was very interesting. Mr. Neal, in explatuing the mede of assessing P rty for taxation, said: The District of Columbia is divided into ten sub-¢istricts, and each of the sub-districts has an assessor, who is sworn to appraise the property of bis distiict at its true value in money. Now if the assessors should make a mistake and should appraise the property of the gentleman irom Macsachusetts a little too hizh and appraise my property a lictle too low, they will equalize it by taking it off him and putting iton me. If one of the assessors, in the opinion of this board of cqualization, should appraise the property in his own district at too low a. rate of valuation, they will add to it, and take it ee ee sub Siri . In that way they will equalize the valuation of property all over the District of Columbia. bie Mr. Van Voorhis—Suppose they do not find anything to add to. Mr. Neal.—They will find it. They will take the whole property of the District and ascertain from all the information they can obtain what the valuation should be, and level it up and level it down as may be required. Mr. Dunnell—Keeping the aggregate the e. same. Mr. Neal.—If you should allow these gentie- men to reduce the aggregate valuation, the con- ‘sequence would be that the property-owners all over the District would be appealing to them irom day to day to reduce the valuation of their Property. Mr. Kobinson.—There is always a difficulty about taxation. People are unwilling to have taxes put on them, and I suppose the assessors Will not have a welcome duty to perform. Now, throwing out of view entirely any complaints or difficulties that may arise, you want to get at the cash value of the property; that 1s what you are after. How will you fix it? There is the market value of the ‘property, the cash value, the value in money of the hoses and of the lands in this District.” Let the assessors de- termine that value, If it is found that they have put my property $5,000 or $10,000 too Ligh Ihave a right to have the valuation reduced to the proper'amount. 1 am not to be deprived of that because they have fixed some other valua- Uon in such a way that they cannot reduce iine without reducing the aggregate. ‘That would be an absurdity. ‘They can only tax me What fs the true value in money of my property. They have no right to tax me on a valuation of $10,000 more than I am wo1ih because they have made a blunder somewhere else. Again, it 4s said that they must equalize it by putting on the valuation of other property what they take off mine. Notatall. My neighbors Jones and Smith do got want the $5.000 or from my valuation put on theirs, complain of that. put on bi Mr. Wilber. where the a They would Nobody wants the extra sum aluation. uppose that in these districts uation of the ses in his sesses the strict at a much lower rate than the assessor of another district assesses the property in his district. If the one assesses | at a much lower rate than the ether we want it ecules So that each district wil be assessed alike. Mr. Robinson.—I cannot sec the least dimi- culty even with the ten-district system. If the valuation as made upon the property of any Individual is too much or too little, let it be iectified by the board; that is, bring it up or carry itdown to the true value. This is the common sense of the thing. THE LISTING OF PERSONAL PROPERTY. When the 14th section was reached, touching the listing of personal property, Mr. Price, of Towa, sald: I see that that list embraces all the money and credits that a man has. Now, sup- pose he has $10,000 and he owes $5,000, is there aby provision made for that? Mr. Neal.—Provision is made in this chapter further on for the deduction of his debts. I wish to say to the gentleman from Iowa and a!’ other persons present that this code is pe:icct. Mr. Price.—Then I may be permitted to say to my friend from Ohio that it 13 the only per- woe I have ever been able to find. (Laugh- er. Mr. Neal.—I am giad to be able to say to the es then that he has at last been able to ind one perfect thing. Mr. Kobinson.—I move to strike out the last word merely to say that according to the view Suggested by the gentleman irom Ohio {Mr. Neal) we should all hold our peace until we get through the bill, and not avail ourselves of any opportunity of pane or offering an amend- ment. I submit that itis not quite fair to us. We might as well go home and let the D! committee sit down and praise themsel for this “perfect” bill, If it is all right let ns know it in advance that we may pass {. and go home If this 1s a perfect volume Ido not know how following amendment: thing in this titie coptaited shall be held to ap; to special as- Sessments heretofore made, or to change or affect existing law in relation to the same.” He said: “Dependent as the people of the District are upon Congress for wise legislation we should be careful to patiently consider laws roviding for taxation, and see to it that they are at least justly and fairly dealt by. impatience or inadvertence we im upon them unequal and oppressive laws we will not only perpetrate wrong upon them, but do vio- lence to every propriety attaching to ourselves. In this District we have the un-American ex- hibition of the power to tax without the right of representation. It isthe only spot in this land Where the law-maker can impose burden: in the presence of absolute silence irom tht who are to bear the burdens. Novy, sir, a ca3- ual view of the various acts providing taxation, in the light of recent decisions of the Supreme Court, will convince this House that the action proposed by this section will be exccedingly onerous to the tax-payer. Laws were passed $s far back as4s71 authorizing the assessment of special-improvement taxes,under which one- third of the expense of paving the thestreets was imposed on real property adjacent. During the extravagant era succeeding, these assessments were imposed to the extent almost of confisca- Uon. The citizens contended these assessments were not only excesstve but illegal. Notwith- Standing this contention, tax-lién certificates were issued and bought by speculators at a com paratively nominal amount. The tax-payers Sought by injunction in the cours to protect \emselves; but during the progress of these suits Col {passed two acts which the courts held vaitdated the asssessments. Congress then .by law authorized a revision and correction by the commissioners, which is now being done Now, this section comes in and provides that the purchaser at any sale hereafter made for taxes shall have a title so sacred that no contest shall be made inst 1t unless the tax- payer pays into court all taxes, fines, and pen- alties,inculding costs of court, which sums shall be paid to the purchaser by the court if the de- fendant succseds in his contest.

And though the sale is to be hereafter, yet the assessment, together with interest, ‘cost, &c., have ali ly been made and accruing during the past seven or eight years. Now, Mr. Chair- nab, We are providing a permanent municipal code for the District ot Columbia. We are hay ‘Special acts of legislation in reference to tnese special assessment taxes, and we should not incorporate in this code any provisions pertain- ingtothem. There are two funds of taxation in this Distaict. One is a general fund of tax- ation for carrying on the municipal government and the other isa lal assessment fund, as- years ago, for the purpose of providing pavements for the streets here. There were about a million and a half or two Aone red lars, and perhaps more, assessed on these iL ASSCSSINENT taxes. It is contended by ie citizens in this District that they are not only excessive but they are onerous, and not only onerous, and that in a large degree, but they are odious; and they have therefore had to resort not only to legislation here in Congres to save them from the confiscation of this special onerous taxation but they have gone into the ¢-urts also to save themselves and have had to resort to litigation. 1 Destrg the ladies of Washingtor to know that they can have elegant costumes furnfshed of handsome materials for $25 and $30.

Proposed Union Depot and Ra:ztroad | Connections, In connection with the project of filling up the Potomac flats, and the erection thereon of a unton rafiroad depot, as recommended by the District, Commissioners, an effort is contem- Plated by some of cur business men to induce | tbe Baltimore and Ohio railroad to connect with such depot r, a branch from its Metropolitan (or Point of Rocks) Branch—to leave the Me- tropolitan Branch at or near Silver Spring, and thence by the valley of Rock creek to its mouth, rounding Observatory Hill to the proposed depot, with a branch over the present Aqueduct bridge to connect with the Virginia 3 or leaving the branch from Silver Spring, above Oak Hill, by tunneling reach the new bridge at the “Three Sisters.” ‘The B. and O. R.R. could, and doubtless would, build a cennection from about Bladensburg to the Point of Rocks branch, ard abandon the present depot and tracks on I street, Ist street east and Delaware avenue and obviate the constant cause of complaint to the residents of the north- eastern part of the city. The Commissioners ot the District would at the same time be enabled to improve many of the streets there which they are now prevented from eae) ae reason of the grade. It is claimed, too, that the proposed Toutes would shorten the time for through trains to and from the west and make almost a direct line to the river front. The plan to tun- nel and reach the Virginia roads by the Taree Sisters briage is said Will cost too much to be vudeitaken when a connection may be made by ia Aqueduct bildge at much less expense. In the same connection itis suggested that the Baltimore and Potomac company may reach the proposed upton depot by changing their road from Virginia avenue and 6th street to K and L streets south and thence striking Water street, passing along south of the Monument grounds to 17th street. There is considerable in these opens which fs not at a!lnew, for in the days of the old corporation tie establishment of a union depot at the south end of 17th street was pro- posed, and the proposition was made by a finan- cler If capa d Was obtained trom Con; therefor to take $500,000 in bonds, erect’ the epot and lock for his return from the railroads, who It was thought would guarantee 10 pet cent on the investment, and it is not improb- able now that the scheme may be carried out. It is stated that at least some of the Baltimore & Obio ratiroad officials favor this proposition, and that the chief engineer, Mr. James L. Ran- dolph, went over the route some years since, and not only pronounced the route perfectly feasible, but gave the opinion that it would be See isecoun both to the company and the public. —— IMPORTANT REAL EsTaTg SALR.—-R. 0.

Mr. Love soon followed, and was received with a happv smile by his wife, just as if nothing had happened. He exclaimed to his love “how ious and tasteless” were the hours he was nd in that “dull old town of eevee a er thing Bene on lovingly with the Loves, when agat . Love announced to Mrs. Love that he was called to Alexandria. He cameto thiscity this morning, and went straight to the-house of his fair ina- morata.
