THE NEW BILL.

FEELING IN THE CITY YESTERDAY.
The Introduction in both Houses of Congress,
yesterday, Of the bill prepared by the unanimous
voice Of the Joint Investigating Committee, fell
like q bombshell in the community, and created
more talk and comment than any other measure
introduced for the last FIVE years While It suited
all 1t did not suit anybody. Many found fault
because the report OF the committee did not &C
company the bill, and others found fault with the
bill itself The fact is the residents OF this Dis
trict at the present writing would not be satisfied
with anything in the shape Of legislation. One
thing, however, is certain; the long suspense is
over; something definite has been arrived at and
the people know Just what to expect for the imme-
date future but what the remote future. with its
not even the prophets Of old can foreteiI.
In casual conversation during the day with gen.
tlemen representing diversity OF interest, rep
certained that with the general public the bill as
a whole was acceptable. The people do not and
will not uoder any circumstances believe that the
timony in the slightest degree censure the Gov
ernor and his associates for their conduct OF az
fairs, and they think that the biG is the natural
hamper the new government in the good work Of
improvement they have inaugurated.
The principal objections to the bill as presented
seem 10 be: !. The tax OF So on the hundred,
which It is proposed to levy. 2 The low rate Of
interest on the bonds to pay the funded debt. 8.
The reduction Of the salaries. T. The fact that no
effect will make all property-holder who have
paid special taxes again pay out their money TO
benefit the Eoperty holder in remote sections.
a strong effort will be made 70 change certain
features Of the bill before its passage and failing
in this all will make q virtue of necessity and
walt patiently the report OF the new committee
with the new plan Of government. -
The introduction Of the bill had marked effect
upon the District securities, which during the
day, rose on the average seven per cent, due,
simply, to the fact that the investigation had
closed, and that the United States Government
had concluded to assume Its share of the respon-
yibilty and pledge the faith OF the people for the
payment Of the principal and interest ofthe ponds
The general impression Is that the bill, with q
few notifications wiz pass before the close Of the
week.
