Letter from Washington
[Correspondence or The Press.]
Washington, December 10,1853.
Enough has transpired |o warrant.me in saying
that, while an'exoltifig.CongTeas, very,
few praotloal ; ha accomplished. Dp to
this moment nothlng has 1 been accomplished, and
next
manyoftiie members will'’go home to see their
families, under pledge from’ these who are com
pelled to stay that nothing shall be done during
their absence. The Southern States are evidently
Jn no humor to. do anything to help tho Adminis-
tration; for.acQ. how Mr. Clingtnan’s yrojet as to
’titol6l&y toi-Du 1 wer treaty was voted down, and
then, bow: the Paolflo Rallroad hill was staved off,
Senator Mason taking the lead against it. The
CharlestoniifsroKn/ startles at the President’s So-'
nora-and Chihuahua protoctorato, and the Rloh
rndnd is not ready for. tho other oompli
oaUonflr .Tho'prospeofc js that we shallhave more
of a talking than a'working sossion. j
, Mrl Baohanan’e boast .to evotybo<iy, ; befor« this
BossiotiV'was 5 thai, though he may have beoome.
unpopular Jyr r whafr ho had done, he would cor
tatnly reooverhlmsplf by some 1 grand coup d'etat
before-tho £o3alon closed. However it
may be for a President' to "thako gobd the ground
he has lost in two years by the other two years of
his term, Ifriß eebtniu' that the President’s new
evolutlona have beon no contemptible followers
of-his first performances..- Since the first of No
vember wd havo had throe glaring Administration
cards played .upon viz: the Duqudsno Jotter,
the message, with its Kansas growl and tariff
faux pas, and the Senatorial attaok upon Jndgo
DouglasV This ,is certainly turning over a new
loaf w! th a vengeance.
Tho Administration forces in the House, led by
our free-trade friend, Boyce, of South Carolina—
who think's ae muoh of the ' organization of the
party as he does of .almost any other
indifferent thing—are being drilled, as I wrlto, to
voto to deolare the seat of Hon. J. Morrison Harris,
of Baltimore, in the present Congress, vaoant, be
oause there was so muoh “riot, intimidation, and
injustfoo,V ai tbe election in Noyembobof 1857,
in his district. From what I see, certain of the
antl-liecomptoh'Democrats will, take this occasion
to show their sense, of the Administration argu
ments in-favor-of Locompton, by voting to table
the resolution of Mr. Boyoe. Tho people of Kansas
were held responsible because they would not voto
•under a ; partial election law and for a
Constitution, but dhe Administration, adopts an
other rule when it wants -to exclude an, anti-Le
oompton vote from Congress. . Thon the failuroto
lyotp is regarded as a sufficient reason*to vacate a
seat In the House. - ~. . i
, "There, are many ways of gaining aooess to .tbb
departments, and to tho oonfidenoe ofthe Presi
dent bat the dodge” of one or two,of tiie oor*
respondents .of certain Republican papers is tbe
latest invention. They tbemselvos to a
steady’abtiße' OfJttdg'e Douglas, and to applauding
.tho* attacks upon him of the pro-slavery; leaders,
and tbeh send their articles to' head-quarters.
The doors' ,of power are opened atonoe, and no
questions are asked.: No matter what your poli
ties, attaok Douglas, and you are sore of fin honor
ablereception at Court.” * !
Hon:- James B. Olay, of Kentucky, has resolved
not to' be'a t candidate.'for re-election.'He is a
gentleman of fortune, and .has a large family,
whose education h® desires to. superintend. His
object in coming to Congress from' tho . Lexington
district was-to prove that he hod npfc lost | tho con
fidence of the people among whom his great father
lived' and died by taking a oertain coarse in poli
tics. Mr. Olay has made many friends in Congress
during his'memborshlp.
The Paoifio Railroad questloh is subjeot to the
consideration and aotion of Congress. Thefightwiil
melnly.be as to the route,whether a northera, south
ern, or central route shall ho adopted. Soipo go for
all, three and others only for one, the majority being
in favor of the central/ Opinion seems to bo al
most unanimous on the. point that there ought
to be some route of railway to tbe Paoifio.,

♦ .. -Lectures Imsi Evening* •
'' Tho. leoture-going our
were put to an unusual tost last .evening, and,
making for the oharmiog wea*'
therwith which we vrowfovpt?>d,,they were cer
tainly notforind'wanting,*lfdSfefaiSUot filling

criterion. ’" J ; '■ ‘ ■ '
Notwithstanding that all three wore platform
entertainments, their oharaoters were essentially
diffflrent. etherialized prose, very good poetry,
and stirring pulpit oratory, having been well
represented at.the.tbreelocalities designated.
■ At Conoert.Hall, whioh was filled, including tho
galleries, the lecturer of tho evening was : '
. , RALPH WALDO EMERSON ; '
his subject being' “The Law of Bucoass The,
lecturer,' upon, appearing upon the platform, wafc
greeted with applnuse* . ,1> * j • '
Y The, Amerioans,.he said-ta opening, hadjnVory
good opinion of America.. The world was Shaken
by ; our engiherfoff. ;par'novigators had gone the
heaiesj, to the r’poio. Y We/interfered In' jPehtraL
and in aninnini>i^ 1 we nh'i!l that
could ( /fo things 1W o jwere, ln’Xaot,- mado Witt a
sort of triumphant’superiority.- ’ - |
As a setoff to this “ do-everything” quality of
the_Amerioanaj the .speaker next took a] rapid
flight through tho history of other days and lands,
in'order ti)"iiiivoll ( thp wonderfuf exploits‘of fo
reigners. , Thus,? a.nobleman had onoe addressed
to'Byron the interrogatory,,.what there was
that' could■ do,, 'that the questioner
could not, to which' Byron replied that, sinoe an
answer’ was thus oompellod, be'would name three
things} ..these 'were—first, that he could swim
across a river, by the side of whioh thoy, wero
then.standing; second, that he oould snUff 4 can
dle with a pistol-bail at twenty paces; and, third,
ho-bad written'a poem, of whioh fourteen ■ thou
sand^copies had been seld in a single day.
- Sheridan had. in a single,day, plead a ease in
coart for two hours-in the morning, engaged in
Parliamentary debates .in tho evening, and at
■night attended two theatres, in both of which
.plays were performed of bis own writing.
But,not to enlarge,-there ,was an old Frcnoh
proverb which said that ” nothing sucoeeded eo
well kssaoeess,” and there was .much reason to
fear that this false philosophy of mero material
‘success held too.'muoh sway, with us in this
country. . ■
7 The speaker assumed, that each man oould do
•some certain thing with facility whioh would bo
extremely, difficult to every other. Each man
was a now method and distributed things anew.
AU men were primary dr secondary, and so ac
cording as their actions and thoughts were organic
or not. Horelo.waa tbe wealth of each.
. The rule was, that in proportion as every ;man <
drew, upon himself he.oould not be supplanted..
But it was rare to find a man that believed his
own thought, and this was so because we believed
everything to be great, oxcepfc what we can da'
ourselves. Not that there was realty any. want of
American egotism,, but the faot was that what we
‘did ourselves was .riot, our own, but a straining' to
dd.tbat'whidh was foreign:to ourselves. Talents
were well enough, but a thousand times more vo
idable was that.central intelleot which weighed
the worth of talents.
We wore too muoh ioolined to think that thero
were but,a few greatinon, and that all theirest
were little. ' Thus w® spoke of a single Soorates,
one Bhakspeare, one Milton, and so on; yet, aftor
all, it was the good reader that made the good book.
The lecture, although eo transaendental in the*
main as to have evidently overleaped the fullest
appreciation of a popular audience, was neverthe
less a fine literary production, and'will certainly
not detraot'from the reputation of its author for
being a Ibfty theorizer. ' !
' ‘At Musical Fund Hall; neaxly evory seat was oo
oupled by a highly intelligent and appreciative-,
oudlenoe, to 'hear an origfharpoem read b/its
; W,;..-’ / MR. JOHN G. SAXE,
the subjeot of which was “Love.” To even at
tempt a Blight synopsis of a poem would be ab
suycf, and, we shall,, therefore, not render
efther ourselves or the! poet ridiculous by at- :
tempting , it.. Suffioe Jt to say that for the
spice of variety it was not lacking, having by,
turns emitted glances, fittingly exproseive,. !al ;
all sorts of individuals—bachelors, widows, meek
eyed maidens; fall*developed fops, and soulless
husbands, and not entirety overlooking . him who
boonples the highest chair of State. The beautiful
story of the afflabced lover who, disQgnred iy
wounds, on .his return from the wars, had sent a
message to her be -lovod, exonerating herfrt m
fulfilling their engagement on account Of his per
sonal appearance,'was artistically rendered iy
Mr. Bfixe, and elicited great applause.' Tho wash
ing cfay,designated as “ the haraostoriflis of connu
bial life,” was humorously introduoed. 7 Although
the poem abounded in laughter-provocatives, It was
not wanting in those deep morat points which
give weight and value to literary effort, and in
this respect it might sot improperly be described
os having varied in its tone “ from grave to gay
from lively to. severe.” The poem itself was
certainty a creditable production, although in its
delivery there was an annoying indistfnotness,
whioh paused* those sitting In the more remote
parts of the ball to lose some of the richest
points, as was attested In the fact that those nearer
the platform wero sometimes moved ,to uproarious
applause when' the aoantenanees of those farther
baok were’ scowling with evident embarrassment
as' to what it was about.
7- But we,must hurry along to the third of our
series,'tbe discourse at Jayne’s Hall, oommenoing
at 74 o’olook, by the '
7;;V , REV. DR. STILES.
The reputation of this New Haven olergymait,
together with the efforts of the Young Men’s Chris
tian Association, at whose request tfiß sermon was
preached, had the effect, notwithstanding thp two
vo ty large audiences already, referred to, of nearly
filling the immense auditorium of Jayne’fl HaU
... The text of Scripture seleoted aa the basis of hia
discourse was .taken from St- Paul s Kpistle to
Timothy: - « There is one mediator between God
and : man, the man Christ Jesus.” The sermon
was delivered without notds, and the portions pf.it
.Which, wo were enabled’ to hear indicated a vigor
of intellect and, a degree of impresalve power
whioh marked its author as more than ordinary.
.The great idea sought to be impressed in this dis
course was, that man in his natural state was lost;
that there was no hope for him exoopt In Ckriit,
and that the only, way to obtain this hopo toag to fa-
Hive; and that to beljeve, was ah honest flying to
Christ for all -the' help & man' needs, in opposing
: siD, It wfts tho beUei by whichaman laid hold
; of tie cross bf* Christ as with a doath graap, for

Various petitions vote presented and reforrod.
Mr. Wilson, of Maaeachusottc, moved to amend the
Arizona Territory hill so os to provide for the election
of a governor, secretary, judges, and other eflleera by

Bulwer treaty. , ,
Mr. Mason, of Virginia,.chairman of the Committee

on the table. He said its effeot would be to make an
lasuo with tho President. The day may corao when the
treaty may require to he abrogated, either wilh the
assent of England or without it; hut no statesman*
would undertake to do It until ho shall have looked far
enough ahead to see whore it will laud üb. If the treaty
bo abrogated. It will place the two countries a* they
wero before it was entered into, and we will be called
upon to define the vsgue Monroe dootrino. We have
reason to believe, evon now, tbat the Executive h en
gaged in trying to avert the misunderstandings yralch
have eocurred under this treaty. '
Mr Clixghan insisted that irora the President's two
messages, considered in connection, it appeared thatotr
progress had been backward in Central America, for that
daring the last year Great Britain was getting stronger
every day under this treaty j tbat it ought to be put out
of the way, and then, when occasion offered, we will
act in that region-
As we had failed hitherto to get a good treaty, either
from Great Britain or Nicaragua, what ground was there
to hope that these parties would, between themselves,
make sucb a treaty as would prefectonr interests ?
Some decided ground ought to Its taken.'.- It was use-'
letß to wait for negotiations, because, in the past eight,
years, we had made no progress, and If no ozo else did,
he would make a movement or a practical nature to re
lieve the country of this restriction.
gBMr. OoLi.Diiß, of Vt, Mr. Bbiilds, of MinnefoU,
and others, expressed their sentiments, after which the
vote was taken, resulting in yeaa 22, nays 28; so the re
solution was not token up.
The consideration of tho PaoiSc Railroad bills was

Tho Speaker laid before the House a message from
the President, enclosing communications• from the

In Central America. Referred to the Committee on
Foreign Affairs without being read.
Also, a communication from the Secretary of State,
asking for an appropriation to defray tho expenses or
conveying destitute ‘Americans from Vancouver's
Island to San Francisco.
The Dense then resumed the consideration of the
Maryland contested-election case of Mr. Whyto agalcst
Mr. Harris.
Mr. Boyob. of Bouth Carolina, said tbat Mr. Whyte
did not claua the seat for himself, but simply opposed
tbe reteotlon of it by Mr. Harris.
The House, by a vote of ICB yeas to 60 nays, laid on
the table the resolution admitting Mr. Whyte to the
floor, and the liberty of speaking on the subject
Mr Eostib, of Louisiana* moved to table the reso
lution, reported from the Committee on Elections,
whioh read as follows: “It appears to this House that
there was much tumult, riot, intimidation, and injns
t ee in tbe election for Representative to Congress from
the Third Congressional District of Maryland on tho
3d of November, 1857,in contempt of law. and in viola
tion of tho freedom of election; that said elootlon is
void, aod the seat Is declared vsoant, and the Bpeakur
is hereby directed to notify the Governor of Maryland
of the fact."
The motion to lay on the table prevailed—yeas 100,
nays 97, * ,
The ilouse then went into Committee of the Who’©
on the state of the Union.
Mr. Phelps, of Missouri, endeavored to have taken
np the President’s annual message, bat the considere
tioa of the hill reported last session, grading ponalons
to the officers and soldiers of the war of 1812, and thoso
engaged in all wars daring that period, was resumed*
’ Mr. Sayaos, of Tennessee, Insisted that the honor
and reputation of the country demanded that those
brave men should have their services recoguissd. It
would be a shame And a disgrace If they were not re*
warded, no matter what might be the expense. Th’s
especially applied to those who served in the war with
Great Britain, and lost their means and property by
their participation in that contest.
Mr. Nioools. of Ohio, was opposed to the principle
of this hill throughout, and to Increasing the baud of
pensioners under it
Mr. Bdrhbtt, of Kentucky, replied that no policy
was be ter calculated,‘under our system of government,
to keep Alive the eplrit'of patriotism and devotion to
their country ihaa by assuring its defenders, when they
become old and helpless, that, they will be taken care

sequence to which the President and people of the

which of all tbl- gs was most repugnant to the spirit
and terms of the Olayton-Vulwor treaty, and which could

by General Gass, of merely such a temporary force as
might be thought, by Nicaragua herself, necessary to
keep tbe Transit open for common convenfenca. He in

MEMORANDUM OF OBSERVATIONS OF TUB SPANISH
SECRETARY OP STATE TO MINISTER DODGE,
, The esceg.o* committed in San Lais Potosl, fey the
Constitutional troops, upon the subjects of her Oitholic
Majesty, indaced the Captain General Governor of Onba
to send to Tampico some vessels of war, In older to
guard against a repetition, at the last-named point, of
the outrages goffered at the former place, fhe>e
vessels ente ol the harbor of Tampico with tty per
mission of the Governor of the place, and remained
quiet spectators of the conflict which was'then
raging, when General La Garza imposed <upon
the Spaniards a large war-tax, putting in prison and
injuring those who, trora want of means, were enable
to pay it. The Captain General of Onba then deter
mined upon Bonding to Tampico other vessels <jt the
royal navy. Tho expedition of these vessels his fori
its sole object that of obtaining from General La <ta.*sa
reparation for the losses and damages caused to the
subjeota of her Majesty, the refunding of the amqnats
exacted from them, and satisfaction for these outrages.
If, to obtain this end, it should be necessary to employ
force, any meisures which p»ay be adopted wiuieid
exclusively to the accomplishment of that object aid
to protect Spaniards against the excesses of the Well
otns. These meaiurcs will have to be proportions]
to the extent of the evil they may have to enoonn or,
but they will nevejr have any other object than tie
one above iudlokted. The instructions given to tie
commander of the frigate Jlerenguela, who Is the shef
on the station of Tampico, also inolnde the proteotlw
of their foreign subjects whose interests may be'pa
judieed.
The assembly or a respectable naval forco at Ssprd
oios and Vera Ores is for the same pa-pose. Knofrig
the teudonoyof Mexicans to indulge In'a bitter-pere
cution of Spaniards, the Spanish Government has, b
lieved it to be its duty to assemble sufficient means to
force thorn to respeot the Uvea and property of it* re

manner, to interfere in the interior affairß of the Me.l*

To the Hou Mr. Cass, Secretary of State.
Next follows a coßOdentla’ letter from Gen Oass t<
Mr. Dodge, Minister to Spain, dated Oct. 21,1853, In
which he says:
Bin: Date arrivals from Europe bring us rep*>rt« that
a naval and militarv armament is about to leave Spain
destined to attack Mexico, with the view, it is rumored
to acquire political ascendancy there, taking advantage
or the distracted condition of that unfortunate Be
publlc. Under these circumstance, I have thought J 1
proper to aek your attention to this subject. You arc
aware of the position taken by the United States—
that they will not consent to the subjugation of an;
of the Independent States of this continent to the
European Powers, nor to the exercise of a protect! •
rate over them, nor to any other directjjolit cnl in
fluence to control their policy or institatmns. Recent
circumstances have given to this determination addl*
tional strength, and it will be inflexibly adhered to,
whatever maybe the consrq *ences. The subject is
familiar to. you, and needs no Illustration. Ido not
desire you to draw the attention of the Spanish Minis*
try to it by auy formal communication, but it would be
well to embrace such favorable opportunities as may
present themselves to bring the matte* inciden
tally to the attention of the Minister of Foreign
Affair's, and to make known tho interest wh'oh this
Government attaches to this subject; reminding hits,
at the same time, of the policy concerning.it, which
basJieen repeatedly declared by tbe United States and

Their polioy of observation and Interference is limited
to the permanent subjugation of any portion of the

Washington, Dec. 10 —The States of this afternoon
submits an explanation, with the absolu e assurance
ttyt It represents authentically tho views of the Presi
dent in the negotiation tor the adjustment of the difll
eulty in Central America The substanoe of this ex
planation Is, that while the repeal of the Olayton-
Bnlwer treaty would bring the dispute to an is
sue of. force, by another expedient it is proposed
to permit Great Britain to seieot her own way
to escape from tho complication, which she engages to
do without delay. This Government has already been
advised of her intentions. Sir William Gore Ouseley
having been despatched to the Isthmus with instruc
tions to surrender tho protectorate over the Mosquito
territory, by a separate convention with Nicaragua,
apd byquojher treaty with Honduras to deliver tho Bay
Islands over to that Republio, he will compass his ob
ject if the States of Central America be not disturbed
by the intrusion of filibusters.! Hence, both our and the
British Government are resolved that the business
shall not be interrupt'd before its consummation. In
this event, all danger collision with Great Britain
Will be ayotyed.

REPORTS OF COMMITTEES,
Mr. Cornman, of the Water Works, asked for a trans
fer of certain items of appropriation, amounting to
$3,450, to be applied to the reassessment of water
rents, the original appropriation of which was $5,000.
Agreod to. ...
Also, a rosolution transferring an item of appropria
tion, in order to pay Col. John W. Forney $:B6 26 for

Also, an ordinance appropriating $23,C00 to liquidate

Both of which were agreed to.
.Mr. Cornman, from the joint Committee of Water and
City Property, to which was leferred the snbjeot of
transferring the M’Orea lot, hounded by Bpruoe, Pine,
Twentieth, and Twenty-first etreeto, reported a resolu
tion authorizing the Mayor to make the transfer, pro
vided Mr. M Crea pay tho interest on tho original cost
of the lot Ac
Mr. Quyler rnovod a postponement until next meet
ing.
Mr Neal moved to postpone indefinitely, giving as his
reason that it was not in the power of the city to ex
change one piece of property for another.
Mr. Quyler explained that the lot was of no value
whatever to the oily, nor to any one else was it worth
as much as it was to Mr. McOrea. Mr. MoOrea wanted
to improve the lota, and If he gains possession of them
the amount of taxes that the city will gain from the
improvements upon them will be $B,OOO
After much debate between Messrs. Mclntyre, Na
thans, Leldy, and others, Mr. Neal moved that the lot
be not sold for a less sum than $33,000. Agreed to by a
vote of ayes 11, nays 10.
A farther amendment was offered, “and that the
city will agroe to vacate the two fifty-fee t-wide streets
on either side of the said lots designed for tbe construc
tion of a market in th* event cf a sale ’’ The amend

office *
The seotlqn as amended, was agreed to.
Oh third tQfidiqg. th,e bill passed finally.
The Arch-street Passenger Railway bill, vetoed by
the Mayor, was called tip
Mr. Neil said he was determined to vote for the bill
deßpite the veto, but a dispassionate* examination of the
document had coqvfnced him that the Mayor was right,
and he should vote to. sustain him. The Legislature
has authorised the company to build the road, provi
ding the sanotion of Councils is obtained within thirty
days. Bat in tho event of a Tefasil, there was no
authority for tbe construction of trie w*rk.
•The President here interrupted Mr. Neal, by a rag.
gestion that his remarks should be confined* to the’
points raised by the Mayor
■Mr. 2]eaf rcßponded'thathewasnow coming to that
polat, ‘ Tbe oompany and the city appear to have nude
a’compromise. The company were endowed by act of

After the presentation of a cumber or petitions and
communications by various members, which were all
appropriately referred —
Mr. Hacker presented a petition from the coal dealers,
asking for an ordinance compelling all coal to be
weighed at a public scale, which was referred to‘ a spa
oial committee on the subject.
Mr. Heins, a remonstrance against making Broqd

Mr Hacker, of the Committee on Finance. submitted
an ordinance making an appropriation cf $493 25 to the
Controller for stationary, overpaid taxes, &fi, Agreed
to. -«-
Mr. Conrad, of the Gas Committee, submitted the
Wi&S'tyfoimTClSjron (jij -frort., to whom was re*
committed the “ordinance for lighting, extinguish
ing, cleansing, and repairing the public Utnpfl,’* re?
sptctfullr report—* '
That they haya not been a hid to areertain the cost of
lighting the oity tor that portion of the year 1851 em
braced under consolidation, finding it impossible, for
the reason that the payments on this account were
blended with the police department and the department
of public highways; bat for the years 1865, 1863, and
1857, the committee are enabled to show tho compara
tive cost of those years t s
Expanse? for lighting (he city for the year
1855 .. $294 678 16
Number of 1amp5....... 5,395
Expanses for lighting the oity for the year ‘
1860, $221,454 79, less the earn of $7,-
962 63, which properly belqngpd to the
year 1856, making the net sum of 218,502 16
Number of Jamps ; 6,525
Expenses for lighting the city for tho year
1857 218,085 90
Number of lamp 3 5.636
In the current year, 1868. the expenses for the first
eleven months have been 520fi,628 68, and adding for
the month of December $l9 QOO, the probable cost,
make? the whole expenses for this year $222,622 63.
The number of Jaraps is 6,790.
It will thus b« seen that the cost of lighting the city
under the contract with the Trustee* o’ the Philadel
phia G«s Works, for 186 ft, was $3l 0?5 99, and for the
year 1857, $76 692.26, less than the coat for the year
1855, when performed by other parties. although tho
number of lamps has been considerably increased.
In view of the foregoing facta, the committee recom
mend to Oonncils a continuance of the preEent system,
which hss proved so advantageous to tbs city; and,
therefore, respectfully c*b the adoption of the ordi
nance presanUd on the fitu lost., authorizing a reoewal
of the contract with the Trustees of the Philadelphia
Qas Works.
Mr. Conrad moved that they proceed to consider the
ordinance.
Mr. Rnllock derired to postpone, so that ho could
fully Inveotifat* this subject. As far as he could as
certain. the expenses of lighting the lamps in 1855 was
only $37 862 04.
Mr. Potter desired to oorrectaoms of the figures as
made by‘tho Committee on Gas. He contended that
thoy had included In ihelr expenses certain sums which
had nothing to do with it. The expense of eaoh lamn
in 1855 was, per lamp $B2 40
Under the contraot system 88 42
Difference against the contract system $0 02
He called attention to a portion of the message of
Mayer Y«ux, which states that the expenses or the
lamps in Boston was $26 to $2B; in Baltimore $22 60,
and’ln Philadelphia, $38.42 each, per annum. He de
clared this a voting away of $83,000 city’s foods.
Mr Kerr gave a number of statistics, Mhowing the
expenses of lishtirg, cleansing, and repairing the
lamps, and contending that the contract with the Trus
tees of the Gas Works was an economical one for the
ojtv.
Mr. Potter again contended that by this contract the
oity lost from $30,000 to $33,000 per annum.
1 Mr Bullock also opposed the ordinance.
Mr Conrad said the last spoakcr was anxions to get
, hack the control of this work to the Highway Depart
ment. and intimated that his remarks were unworthy of
confidence.
The bill, on a final reading, was lost by a vote of 38
to 80, viz 1

the length of the main recently laid along Master Nor

same $0 625.76; that this was paid out or the contin

raised from $4.33 to $0.26; and for the mutton from

ed to furnish the latter for $6. There was no excuse
for the Guardians not awarding the contract to the
next lowest bid, whloli would bare saved the city $581)
The minority report was s ? gned by Mr. Dennfs, ami

manner In which these cootracta shall bo awarded. It

For many months my hair had been falling off, until
I was fearfnl of losing it entirely. The skin nponmy
head became gradnallymore and more Inflamed, so that
I oonld not touoh it without pain. This irritated coh
d.tion I attributed to the use of various advertised hair

By the advice of my physician, to whom yon had
shown yoar process of paritying the Oil, 1 commenced
Its use the Isst week In Jane! The first application al

the redness and tenderness disappeared—the h air ceased
