COMING IN FOR THE STANDARDIZATION
that the Wing Members of the Common Council
absented themselves when they were wanted at the
meeting of the two boards yesterday afternoon,

the Democratic members at their next session to
order supper in the room where they hold their

business there not being members sufficient form

either Board. For further particulars see reported
proceedings.
We have heard it intimated that the position OF
afllirs in the Common Council would retard the
usual bI>iness of the corporation, and that those
holding salaries having demandsupon the city would
be prevented from obtaining their claims until the
Boards were both organized. Such is not the case,
as all the appropriations for the expenses of the pre-
sent year were made by the old Board before they
became extinct, and therefore the wheels of the city
government will work the same as usual. even if
the aldermen quarrel till January next.

NEWS FROM WASHINGTON. Wise has given
bail 10 the amount of $1,000, to keep the peace
within the District of Columbia, and not to go be-
yord the limits of said District for the purpose of
committing breach Of the peace, or with the view
OF sending or receiving challenge from any one TO
fight duel.
Such the decision on Saturday evening last
by the Judge of the Criminal Court, after a long
session and hearing of nine hours Mr.. Wise was
attended in Court by the most of the delegation
from Virginia, and his counsel, Mr. Speaker Hun
ter and Mr.. Goode. The case excited much inter-
est, and large number of members of Congress
and citizens were in attendance Mr. Fendall, the
District Attorney, is said to have distinguished him.
self on his part. The decision Of the Judge has
been objected 10 by great many on the ground
that the Court had no jurisdiction beyond the limits
of the District ofColumbia.
This matter being thus far terminated, there will
be no fight Just now, and Mr.. Stanley may return
20 w Washington.
A large and serious fire occurred on Saturday
night, near the State Department, destroying seve-
raj buildings, and among them, the house occupied
by the Hon. w. Van Ransaeler and family, who
were saved from all danger, with the loss of some
