National Treasury; they were merely asked for that
which was placed their disposal for the benefit Of the
people
MIR SEWER had voted against this bin at the last
session, and he should vote againet il again; but he
wished to ask the Chairman of the Committee on the
District how many lots government held in this city,
and what their value.
Mr. MERRiCK said it was impossible that he could
answer the question Unexpectedly proposed;
originally half the property of the city was ceded to
the Government, but how much the Government still
held he could not tell.
Mr.. SEWER asked how it had been disposed Of.
Mr.. MERRICK explained. good deal Of it had
been disposed of for colleges and schools, and good
deal for the improvement of the streets and public
squares. When street was paved, the Commissioner
Of the Public Buildings bound 10 pave that part
which passed along public square, and tor this puT-
pose good deal ofhe public lots had been disposed Of
the city corporation levyng tax TO defray the ex-
pense improving the roads in the front Of the stores
and habitations

would introduce bill to cede all the lots to the corpo

he believed many of those with whom he usually acted
would vote for it too.
u Mr.. MERRICK hoped the Senator from Arkansas
would yet become one of the "log cabin party.
After few other words from Mr.. SEWER and Mr.
