FINANCES OF THE DISTRICT.
annual Report of the superintendent
of Assessments aud Taxes.

Mr. William Morgan, superintendent Of assess
ments and taxes, has transmitted his annual re-
port to the District Commissioners, and says that
the number OF trainers Of property made during
the calendar year ending December 81, 1875, was
about five thousand.
Owing to the limited time given the assessors
to make the annual assessment t T the year end
iEg June SO, 1917, they were unable to complete
their labCfs and make a return Of their assess
ment until November Is, 1876. Tax books were
prepared TO enable the collector to commence re-
ceiVing taxes the 9Th ultimO, but this was
only accomplished by temporary increase Of
force.
The assessment for Washington city amounts
TO SsI2i5, s4.= GeO-getOTn, s., 9j3, 932; county,
iS,5S5,433; total assessments s559s5-21-; showing
an increase over the last annual assessment in
$lO4, SIS; total increase, 81 2,52s.
The personal assessment under the late law OF
Congress, as shown by the returns of the asses
sor as far as completed. gives the following:
Washington city. sl2 OIL, So Georgetown, Sl,7s5,
Co.; county, s45l Is total, 81, 25If 426.
He suggests that Congress be urged to pass
the tax law for the year ending June 80 1873 at a
very early date. thereby giving the assessors
time TO make the next assessment thus affOrding
in original and duplicate before they are deIIy-
cred TO the collector He requests that some
steps be taken to preserve some valuable books
of reference, among which are the general as
sCssment books Of 1864 and 1852, which are now
absolutely going 10 pieces, and which could be
restored at a comparatively small cost, These
books are referred to almost daily by the differ
ent officials of the District, and constantly by
lawyers engaged in the examination Of titles.
If something is not soon done they will be en-
tirely lost. The request is made that a resur-
vey Of the city of Georgetown be made and per-
feet plat Of that city be made showing each
square and lot. The increased revenue which
would in a short time be derived would pay all
tie expense attached thereto, besides materially
benehting the citizens, many OF whom are
charged with more ground than they own, while
others escape paying taxes on large proportion
Of what they actually own.

LIFE IN WASHINGTON.
SKETCHES ABOUT THE CITY BY
REPUBLICANS REPORTERS.
A Little Scandal in High Life.

A romantic incident connected With the late
Centennial Exposition has rcceatiy obtained cir
culation, and is ofiRterest to W&shingtonians as
referring 10 young gentleman and lady who are
by nomeans strangers in this city. The young
man TO whom reference is made is Of respect
able family and well-knoWn here
For several months before the Centennial Ex-
position opened he had not been able to secure
employment, and becoming tired OF idleness. and
too proud % live on his family, he obtained an
appointment on the Centennial police force,
with which organisation he was connected dur
ing its whole existence. The other actors IN the
story sre members Of heightened aristocratic
family formerly residing in the District.
The home Of this family, whether in Uniontown
or in Washington, was q favorite resort OF many
young gentlemen, who enjoyed the hospitality of
this family, with the charming daughters at
taehed TO il, went to Philadelphia to reside. The
young Centennial policeman, who was enc OF
those who had had the good fortune to visit the
family in Ihss city, took the opportunity, when of
duty and his badge and stick were laid aside, TO
improve his acquaintance With. the family. His
visits beoSme alarningly frequent, ana upon a
certain day one Of the daughters disappeared
from the house, and simultaneously with this
event TIE visits of the gallant policeman ceased.
l. was evident that tha two facts had some con.
rection. The father hunted up the youth OF brass
buffers and demanded TO know what he had done
with his daughter The prompt aud calm reply
made by the Centennial policeman was that she
was safe and sound and his lawful and welded
wife. The father, finding that he could do nc
more, determined to settle beyond dispute the
question Of the legality Of the union. Immedi
ately accompanying his professed son-in-law tc
his daughters presence, and, hOurishing an ugly
looking revolver over their heads, marched the
pair TO minister, and had them married in his
