COMMON COUNCIL.
The Common Council had some difficulty
in obtaining quorum, and it was sometime
after eight O'Clock and after several still
hunts for members had been made by the
Messenger. that quorum was obtained.
The call of the Mayor was read
A petition OF number of citizens Of the
ID and Sd wards asking the removal of a
pond OF stagnant; water on. a sunken lot on

special committee to consider the subject.
was agreed to, and Messrs. Mclean and
Nails were appointed a committee on the
part Of this Board
The committee reported in favor of an
order directing that the owners of the lots
fill up the same so as to abate the nuisance,
! and upon failure within FIVE days that the
Superintendent of Police fill the lots.
MIR. Peake presented a communication
from Mr.. John Padgett asking a curling
and gutter on the west side of Alfred street,
between Cameron and Queen
Mr.. Mclean inquired who would be re-
! sponsible for the payment of material if
Council ordered the whole square to be
curbed and guttered
The chair said that Mr. Padgett would
have to be responsible for the whole of the
work
Mr.. Nails doubted whether partial gut
ter there would not, on level surface like
this square, be hindrance to the flow of
water
The subject was referred to the Committee
on Streets.
An application Of the Potomac Ferry Co.
for leave to fill up and use one half of the
dock at the foot of King street was read.
! Mr.. Lambert thought the grant should be
made, as it would abate the nuisance now
existing there OF q filthy dock.
| The subject was referred to the Committee
on Streets.
Mr. Mclean inquired what had been done
with the application for a fire plug on the
corner of Patrick and Oronoko streets.
| Mr. Lambert said that the subject was
still in the hands of the Committee on
Streets, and he had been making inquiries
to ascertain how many would take water in
that neighborhood if the mains were ex,
| tended
Mr.. Green thought that the relations OF
the city to the Water Company ought to be
tested. If that company had the right to
refuse to extend mains there ought to be
some remedy, even if we had to 60 to work
and get up another water company. He
thought il would be well to do So for the
present company was a monopoly aud did
not give satisfaction. The city might sub.
scribe to the stock of a new company
Mr.. Mclean said that the matter. of the
Water Company had been discussed before
but nothing done. He hoped the people
who wanted water near the corner of Pat
rick and Oronoko streets would have speedy
relief.
Mr.. Nails knew the Water Company
would not lay mains until guarantee was
given on each square that the water rent
would pay six per cent on the cost.
No action was taken and the Board adj
iouned.

FROM WASHINGTON

Especial Correspondence of the Alexandria Gazette
WASHINGTON, D. c., July 1S-In the
House this morning the report of the Elec-
tons Committee in favor Of Mr. Cabell. in
the contested election case of Stovall VS..
Cabelf, from the 9Th Virginia district. was
unanimously adopted A resolution intro
duced by Mr.. Kasson was adopted instruct
ing the Committee on Ways and Means to
meet on the I'd of November and perfect
bills relating to reduction in the revenue
of the Government. The republicans then
called Zip the contested election case, and
the democrats, under the leadership of Mr..
Randall, in order to make them solely
responsible for the contemplated outrage
raised the question Of consideration so as to
force them to develop quorum, and an ave
and no vote being demanded, the democrats
refused to vote and the republicans found
themselves fourteen short of q quorum
The doors though open for the sake of
ventilation were then constructyely closed
and the republican whippers-in sent out
after the absentees, enough of whom to
make quorum are reported in the CITY.
In the meantime the proceedings of the
House are in allegiance
The executive committee Of the straight
out republicans of Virginia will meet in
Richmond on the Goth inst. to determine
whether or not to hold State convention.
and if they decide that question in the af-
trmative, to fix the day. 1t is supposed
here that the committee will follow the ex
ample Of those of the other two parties in
the State and call no convention. It is also
thought that the committee will follow the
example of the other two committees in an
other respect, and nominate candidate for
Congressman at large. and, what's more.
that this candidate will be negro and that
the committee will thereby recognize the
only element of effective strength the repub-
licans have in the State Mr. Fulkerson
says Malone is trying to carry the read
justers over to the republicans, and Massey
to carry them over to the democrats, but
that he thinks they ought to stay just where
they are. This advice might do in cam
paign in which the debt question was an is
sue, but in Congressional election, in
which the State debt has nothing to do, Mr..
Fufkerson's position is untenable. He will

EX-SECRETARY robson has blossomed
into perfect bully during the present SEES
sion of Congress, and is apparently always
seeking personal collisions. If Southern
man were to take the role Mr. Robson is
now playing he would be denounced from
one extremity of the North to the other, but
the ex-Secretary being from the North and
u republican, finds that role so popular with
the people Of his section that he has assumed
it as the surest means of ingratiating him
self into their favor and of securing his re-
nomination and election to the L. s House

THE CONDITION of the empire of Brazil
with its long-continued and prosperous
peace, compared with the republics Of South
America, with their incessant wars and con
sequent thriftlessness, by no means indicates
the superiority of free institutions, but goes
far to sustain the long entertained idea that
it is not so much the form of government a.
it is the character of the people upon which
depends the happiness of a country.

A communication from the Mavur stating
that he had called the Council to consider a
communication from the Board of Health in

the neighborhood asking an abatement of
the said nuisance; also the communication
from the Board Of Health referred to bv the
Mayor, stating that the nuisance was the
cause of the malarial fever existing in the
neighborhood, were read.
MIR. Moore asked if the Board of Health
could not so before the grand Jury and have
parties indicted for allowing nuisances Diet
r!mentai to the public health TO remain on
their premises. He thought such course
would be the proper one, and would have a
good effect
MIR. Risheill moved that The papers be re-
celved and referred to special committee
OF two from each Board. with instructions to
report at once, which motion was adopted
The chair appointed Messrs Risheill and
Strauss on the part. Of the Aldermen, and
the Board took a recess until the special
committee was ready to report
Upon reassembling Mr.. Risheil, on be-
half of the special committee presented a
resolution directing the owners of the va
cant lots to fill up the same sufficiently to
abate the nuisance, and in case of failure to
comply with the order within five days then
the superintendent of Police to do the work
and report the amount due by each owner
to Council which amounts shall be placed in
the hands Of the tax collectors. and collect
ed according to law.
The resolution was adopted unanimously,

THE EVIDENCE that was adduced before
the recent called session of the grand jury
of the District Of Columbia in the star route
case has been published by means Of an in
terview with the principal witness, and how
that jury could have adjourned without
making additional presentments is what
they alone can tell But the fact that they
did so gives color to the suggestion that the
loss of the republican majority in the Senate
by the indictment \ of a member thereof
would be an injury to the republican party
so great as to justify any means that might
be taken to prevent it.

Massey That he is not a German is sure,
silly assertion. Germans when they come
TO this country and are naturalized become
Americans, and think and act like other
Americans, with whom they stand on the
same footing and on terms of perfect equali-
ty. On political questions, therefore, they
vote like their fellow citizens, and neither
in Richmond nor anywhere else in the State
will they asIist a party whose acts, no mat
ter what its professions may be, tend to su-
coordinate their own to an inferior race.

In eating and drinking, which did not agree

For on arriving ot home and going to bed, ;.
He was taken ill and was so short of breath
That he thout he called by the grim angel death
So he sent for doctor, renowned for his skill,
Who hearing that Isaac was fatally i'll,
Did not tarry q moment, but unto him sped,
And found the cid gentleman greaning in bed
With his feet very hot and his face very red
And crying out 'Surely soon shall be dead"
