is believed that by prompt attention on
the part of the leading men in the sew

month OF October. Senator Poole will
remain in Washington, Mr.. Stevens
will be at Cincinnati, and Mr.. Beck at

anxiety is felt by Democratic members OF

WEATHER REPORT.
Synopsis for the Past Twenty.FOuI
Hours.

Hours.
WASHINGTON, September IS, 7P.M.-
The barometer has risen since Sun
day afternoon from Michigan to Kan
sas and northwest, so far as reports
have been received. The pressure has
risen very generally on the middle and
east Atlantic coast, but has fallen some
what during the day from Missouri tc
Lake Ontario. Cloudy and threaten
ing weather, with rain, has been re-
ported from South Carolina to Florida,
and the cIoudiness now extends aloug
the coast to Massachusetts,, and is also
reported this morning from Michigan.
The temperature has fallen in the Mid
die and Eastern States since Sunda,
morning, and also north OF Missouri
and Indiana. Northerly winds pre-
vail from Lake Michigan to Missouri
and southwest winds on the lower
lakes.
ProJaJilities.-The cloudiness viii
probably extend very generally on Tues
day along the entire Atlantic coast
and on the lower lakes, with light
rains in some localities as Virginia and
Lake Erie. Rising barometer, with
clearing weather and falling tempera
ture from Michigan and Lake superior
westward and southwestward to the
Gulf. No predictions have been issued
from this Office respecting the so-callec
tidal wave, nor is any such wave an
ticipated.

men, Supervisors and Citizens, to send
for persons and papers with the view
of more regularly conducting their in
vestigations. A copy of the investiga-
ton order Issued by Judge Barnard
was read and referred to the Finance
committee. Several bills for advertis-
ing were presented and laid over, the
Mayor stating that in his opinion, the
injunction order of Judge Barnard pre-
vented their payment. A communica-
ton was received from Deputy Comp
troller Green, transmitting resolution
ofthe Board of1Apportionment, and di-
recting the Board OF Supervisors to
assess a tax of two per cent on all city
and county property, for the purpose Of
raising the sum Of S23, ,362.57, being
the amount to be raised by the Board
o4Apportioument. This was referred to
the committee on Annual Taxes. A
communication was also received from
the committee on Investigation of City
Accounts, asking for the power to send
for persons and papers to conduct
their investigation.
After discussing the matter as to the
power of the Board Of Supervisors to
grant the required authority, the com.
munication was referred to Special
committee, who, in case such power is
conceded, have power to Immediately
draft resolution, necessary to confer
the plenary powers Of the statute, the
Board then adjourned.
The Board of Aldermen held a meet
ting this afternoon. The Board, on the
examination OF the city accounts Of Mr..
Churchman, made long report on the
accounts referred to, and corrects the
report of the Citizens Subcommittee,
by which the amount OF the city and
county debts was published as being
$07 ,2S7 ,525.03. The report rendered to.
day, by Mr.. Woolman, shows errors on
the part of the Citizens Subcommittee,
by which the sum OF s., ,S27, ,S75 is added
to the Indebtedness of the city and
county. The difference in the state
ment of the city and county debt arises
from the Citizens Subcommittee being
unacquainted with the details regard
ing the funding Of the city debt, and was
shown to be clearly an error on their
part.
