GEORGETOWN CORRESPONDENCE

GEORGETOWN, Dec. 80, 1856
The Christmas holidays passed of unusually
quiet. We had decidedly less of all descrip-
tions Of disorders than usual on such occa-
sions The only act of real villainy was per-
petrated by a party of fellows, on Bridge
street, on last Wednesday evening As they
were passing down the street in the direction
Of Washington they met with a daughter of
Mr.. George Gray and female house servant,
(colored) when one Of the villains drew from
his pocket pistol and fired it at the two fe-
males. The ball or slug with which it was
charged struck the colored female near the
ankle, and passed up the leg and lodged in
the flesh near the knee, inficting q consders
bic wound. The ball had to be cut out by a
physician No clue has yet been had to the
guilty parties.
There is no news Of a commercial character
stirring with US. The close of navigation upon
the canal and river has tendency to put Sc
rlOus check upon all description of business
which are dependent upon these two thorOug
fares OF trade for cir support Our mills, too,
are doing but little, some CT them nothing. for
the want Of grain, and the season having arrived
for our mechanics TO suspend much of their
outdoor business, causes our city upon the
whole to present rather an inactive appear
ance. Two classes of our merchants are as
busy as bees, viz the wood and ice dealers.
The interest which was at FIRST manifested
in regard to the Poll Tax and Suffrage Bill
seems to be gradually dying out among those
who take an active part in our town politics
The act itself is still in limbo, and what will
be its final fate, so far as the action of our
City Councils is concerned, we are not pre-
pared to say The members of the Councils,
With one or two exceptions, and their friends,
the anti-know Nothings, contend that, mas
much as the act is one to change the organic
laws OF the Corporation, it ought. before being
enforced, to be submitted to the voters for
their adoption or rejection; and the opposition
contend that the act is mandatory, and ought
to be enforced instanter We presume, how
ever, that the Councils will be found rather
too sharp to swallow the gilded bait which has
been so cautiously set for them. The matter
is one of too much moment to be trifed with !;
and as the ballot box is the only proper tri.
bunal for its settlement, we incline to the be-
lief that the Councils will fnally send it there
We are at a loss to know Why such a step
should meet with opposition. S.
