W WASHINGTON.

Washington, 4. The House Committee on
Education have agreed to send circular let
ter to all agricultural colleges in the country,
inquiring what disposition the institutions
make of public lands donated to them by
Congress.
Gen. Butler to-day addressed the commit
tee on ways and means on the bills pending
before that committee, concerning the saizure
and examination of merchants books by
Government officials, to discover whether
there had been fraud in importation, and pro.
viding for the punishment of consuls and
agents certifying to invoices without proper
authorization.
The Secretary of the Interior has submit

At regular meeting Of the City Council
on Monday evening last, the bond of City
Marshal Foves was presented and approved.
Report of city liquor ageat showed sale Of
medicine" to the amount Of S245.3G! quite
an increase from the month previous, when
medicine was dispersed promiscuously
throughout the city. We think the amount
for the next month might be materially re-
duced without detrimcnt TO the health. hap
piness and prosperity of this community.
| The Mayor was appointed to apprise liquors
at the City Agency, and report at the next
meeting. Alderman Sanborn and Council
men Pinkham and Goodwin were appointed
to appraise stock, produce, Sc, at city farm.
Report of the street commissioner was receiv-
ed and referred to the committee on claims.
An order was passed by the Common Coun-
Gil relative to purchasing steam fire engine
for the use of the city, but on disagreement
of the two branches as to the terms of the
order, the subject was referred to commit
tee of conference, which will probably re-
port at the next meeting. An order was
passed authorizing the city treasurer to nego-
tate a loan for $1,000 in behalf of the city,
and TO give note therefor payable on the
10Th day of July next. A committee was APP
pointed to confer with Peter Atherton rela-
tive to a final settlement of his accounts as
collector of taxes for the years 1865 and 1866.
The practice of allowing tax or any other ac-
counts to remain unsettled from year to year
would not seem to be advisable, or even safe,
for the interests Of all parties concerned. We
learn that our late collector and treasurer, ii.
Fuller, has already settled his entire account
with the city; and the same may be said of Il.
S. Smith, his predecessor; and we trust the
same commentator may be deserved by the
present incumbent OF the office, Capt. Snow,
whenever he may be called upon to give an
account of his stewardship The city clerk
was instructed to give notice to all having
demands against the city to present them at
once for settlement. Voted to adjourn for
one week, and to hold meetings every Mon
day evening during the month, in order to
finish up the business of the current munich
pal year.
On account OF the severe snow storm on
Tuesday, the Levee and Festival of the Ia
dies Of the Universalist Society was postpon.
ed, and will be held on Wednesday and Fri
day evenings Of this week.
But little work has been done at the gran
! ito quarries, and stene sheds the past week,
on account Of the severe and protracted cold
term.

The Licensing board of the city, compris.
ing the Mayor, board of Aldermen, City
Clerk and City Treasurer, held special
meeting at the Aldermen's room, yesterday
afternoo1, for the purpose of receiving the
resolutions passed at the temperance meeting
on Saturday evening. The resolutions take
the ground that the Licensing board should
require all innholders and vctualers to take
out license, as provided by the Revised
Statutes.
The resolutions were presented to the board
by Hon. Joshua Nye, Rev. Il. Sanderson and
Mrs. Ira ID. Sturges, of the committee ap.
pointed for that purpose.
Mr. Nye read the records of the temperance
meeting, and said that there was large at
tendance at the meeting. Did not expect to
present new facts on this subject; the law is
well known. 1t requires those licensed to
give bond in the sum of $500 that they will
not sell intoxicating liquors or violate the
provisions of the prohibitory law, becoming
liable in case they should do so to receive
the penalties of such violation. He had un-
derstood that for the past two years TO Ii
censes had been issued by this board. The
board must also bring prosecutions and COM
plants against those who do not take out Ii
censes. He thought that the statutes made it
imperative on the city to establish an agency.
intoxicating liquors are now sold illegally by
apothecaries, when they should be sold legally
at the agency. for medicine. Thought intox-
ication was on the increase in this city while
we have the law, let it be enforced
The Mayor explained that the matter of Ii
censing had not been attended to in the
spring, the proper time, simply through mad
yentance.
Rev. Mr.. Sanderson said the matter had
been fully explained by Mr.. Nye. Trusted
that the board would do all that could be
done, at once, to stay the tide of rumseling.
AS liquors are certainly required for mechan-
zeal purposes, he thought there ought to be
an agency, and this last excuse for the sale of
liquors by apothecaries taken away.
Alderman S. C. Whtehousa explained the
action of former board.
Alderman Atkins said he had always been
in favor of requiring license.
w. p. Whitehouse, Esq, City Solicitor,
gave it rs his opinion that, under existing
statutes, the licensing board at this time could
not hold legal meeting for the purpose of
granting licenses, in the absence of any ap-
plication If the licensing board has omitted
to do this duty in holding meeting at the
proper time, can prosecutions now be made?
He was of tho opinion that complaints against
