The Bourbons stiII live.

We publish below a preamble aud resolution
passed by the Board Of Aldermen, OF this city,
in 1858. 1t is on the same progressive par.
allel as the raid upon Mr.. +. X. Ward. In fact,
We are inclined TO believe that the entorpris.
Ing citizens (?) who want to onioin Mr.. Ward
went TO sleep in 1853 and have Just walked up.
The preamble and resolution read as follows: :
whereas the Councils of the city OF WASH
iugton have learned that there Is now before
Congress memorial asking tho charter of q
company TO construct street railroad
through pennsylvania avenue and such
other streets as may be necessary, between
the Navy-Yard and the city Of Georgetown
and, believing said railroad to be OF an en-
tirely local character, not connecting or de-
signed to be connected with any great line of
railroad or mail route, but designed solely
and exclusively for the local travel OF tho
citizens and sojourners OF Washington, from
one part OF the city TO another, in other words,
n mere omnibus line from the Navy-Yard to
Georgetown: Resoired, that the Joint COM
mittee representing the interests OF this cor.
poraiion before Congress- be, and they are
hereby, instructedsto protest, earnestly and
respectfully, against the passage of any bill
granting privileges asked for.
These arguments and othors contained In
the resolution against street car line In 1888
are about as good and as progressive as those
now urged against the Alderney Dairy.
