QuandarV.

AT noon to-day the members of the
Legislature from this oounty-Senators
Lord, Marsh, Forrest and Armstrong
and Representatives Klimper, Lovela ce.
Loder and Wright, met in the Mayors

The object was the discussion OF the
means by which the Board could obtain
lunos 10 carry on the cleaning OF our
streets.
The fund for that Department is ex.
nausteo, and no money can be obtained
before FeDruary next, when the TAX
levy is to be paid. The amount coming
then to the share Of this Board is $36, 900,
whlch IS TO pay for next years cleaning.
The Board, as is known, is unable 10
pay another cent tor street cleaning.
Jackson Noble, however, has taken the
matter into his own hands, and is now
cleaning the streets on his own respon-
sibiIity, depending on the next Legis.
lature to reimburse him.
Mr.. Carson WAS present, and as a
means to get out OF the difficulty ad-
vised The Board to ask the cilizens for
a loan of ut least $50 600 with which 70
run the street cleaning for the remainder
OF THIS year. guarantee was to be
given them that the money would be re-
paid.
Inc members OF the Legislature
thought 1T best for the Board 10 obtain
sumclent money for this year, and then
they would see 10 1t that steps would be
laken by them in their session to rem
edy the mater.

Mr.. Boucicault, in the greatest OF his
characters, "Conn, the Shaughraun,"
appeared last night to house large il
num6ers, full OF appreciation, and most
enthusiastic in their greeting to the
great actor and author. Of the play il
self nothing need now be said. II has
been given it's rank as the greatest OF
MIR. Boucicaulps works, and more could
not be said In its praise though volumes
were filled. Mr.. Boucicault himself last
night appeared to be enjoying excellent
health and spirits, and he threw into
the character OF "Conn" all the life, bril-
liancy, daredevil carelessuess, wit and
humor that is rememb red iu the per.
formance of last spring.

What President Grant Says.

Washington spondents report recent re-
marks Of President Grant in relation to the polit
cal situation. He says he Ia; nothing to do with
deciding who is to be his successor, but shall give
up the reins to the msn who is constitutionally
declared to be President. lie does not approve
Of the demon STATIONS made by tie Democrats
on the Sh.
President Gran. has heard some talk viii h he
supposes has the same inspiration with the meet
ings referred to, Of inaugurating Gov. Iden
az President of the United States, even if he
should not be declared constitutionally electet.
He says that an Inauguration elsewhere than 10
Washington will be without effect. His rea-
sons are as follows, Under the eighth sect IN of
the first article Of the Constitution, Congress
10 to exercise exclusive legislation in all cases
whatsoever over district, not exceeding ten
miles square, as may by cession of particular
States and Territories and the acceptance Of
Congress become the seat OF government Of the
United States. BY the act of July 10th, 1870,
Congress accepted a district of ten miles square,
and further provided that on the first Monday
in Dec, 1900, the seat of Government of the
United States, should be transferred to Washing
ton, and all officers attached 10 tie seat Of Gov
eminent should accordingly be removed thereto
by their pectIve holders, and should after that
day cease TO be exercised elsewhere. The amen
datory act OF 1871 and all subsequent legislation,
he said had recOgnlz Sd the Distinct Of Columbia
and the city of Washington as the permanent
seat of Government, which could not be changed
except upon the concurrent action of the two
houses of Congress. The President sand that the
exercise Of Executive functions elsewhere than at
Washington would be strictly unconstitutional
and without force. In this connection, the Pres.
ldent referred to the resolution OF the House of
| Representatives last session, 10 which inquiry
was made as to the Official acts performed by
! him, and their nature, at places other than the
seat Of Government. The President said that he
had never performed executive acts elsewhere
! than at Washington; that IN the first six years
of his administration, during the heated term, be
had made ornightly visits to Washington, when
/ he transacted all official business requiring his
attention. and during the past two years all
records and Executive acts were executed "a.
Wsshins ton. The Presidents authority, he said,
exercised 10 accordance with law, is as supreme
IN the District OF Columbia If il were garli-
soned fortress, aud any demonstration or war
Ike concentration of men threatening the peace
OF the city or endangeriDg the security Of the
public property or treasure of the Government
could be summarily dealt with, should the public
safety demand by a declaration of martial law,
The President said that he could not think that
