The District in Congress.

WASHINGTON MAhhEI AN1s
The House committee on the District of Col
umbia to-day began the hearing of arguments,
pro and con, as to whether the Washington
Market Company has not violated its charter,
and consequently forfeited its franchise. MI. r.
X. Elliott was heard and made an elaborate ar
gument to the effect that the company has for
feited all its rights, by falling to comply with
failure to build up the avenue front and to pay
to the District authorities its annual required
contribution for the relief OF the poor Of the
District. General Butler who was present,
representing the market, said that even had 1t
done what was illegal, the place to settle the
controversy was in the courts, and that Con-
gress had no right to declare forfeiture of pos
Sessed rights The committee is to hold
special meeting next Monday night at o'clock
to hear General Butler, who is thus accommo-
dated with night session, because during the
day he is engaged in the courts. EX-COngreSS-
man Eldredge and w, E, Chandler also appear
for the market company.
