Steamer Commodore.
ISSUE OF $40 BONDS.

WASHINGTON, Jan. %.
The Mayor of Georgetown, d. c. has given
notice to all male inhabitants, both white and
black, above the age of twenty-one years, to
appear before him and the Board OF Aldermen
at times named, for preparation of the list OF
voters, under provision of the late act of Con-
gress, ito regulate the elective franchise in the
District Of Columbia" This is the first mu-
nicipal movement here in this direction.
w. M. New, Inspector of the Treasury De-
partment, has made report upon the loss of
the steamer Commodore. 1t sets forth that
the steamer was eighteen years old, and had
been condemned by the supervising inspector
at. New York, but was subsequently locked
and strengthened. At the time of her loss it
1t seems that the crew were inadequate to the
emergency, and unacquainted with the man
agement of boats, and also that the officers dis
regarded the weather indications Of the barOm-
eter The report concludes: "The Commodore
was lost partly by reason of her unfitness to
withstand the gale and partly from the indis-
erection of her captain in taking her to sea,
and then when at sea not making a harbor-
Her owners are liable partly, for navigating
her without certificate" l tqs-,. -
The President has pardoned one Quinn, con-

A special Washington dispatch saws the

gave the members of the Louisiana Conven-

mony showed that no such pledges were ever
given, and no member was authorized to speak
for Congress.
There are doubts in the minds of the Ways

make any reduction of taxation, owing to the
large falling, off of the internal revenue re-
