TIE DISTRICT QuoTA.-Yesterday. Mayor
Wallach, John III. Semmes, Esq, President Of
the Board Of Aldermen and Treasurer of the
Citizens Bounty Volunteer Fund, and Messrs.
UteImehle, Turton, N. ID. Larner, and Asbury
City Councils, waited upon the President
to represent to him the excess of the
quota tor this District. President Lincoln re-
q patient he airing. He then directed them to
Col Fry, the Provost Marshal General, with
q request from him to that officer to re wise and
adjust the quota Of the District.
The visit to Col Fry, we learn, resulted in
an arrangement satisfactory to the committee,
although they did not obtain the full justice
which they claimed. According to the under.
standing. had with the Provost MARSHAL Gen.
eral, the Mayor has since addressed commu-
picaton to him, electing to take the census OF
1860 as basis for the quota under the calls
which, as swelled by floating population OF
non.residents, was manifestly too high. This
will materially lessen the Districts quota, if
it does not quite do away with the deficit
charged against us. This will be good ne VS. to
everybody but the substitute brokers
