"a Gross Libel'' on the District.


The Commissioners recently received a letter
from Rev. Geo. V. Leech, of Annapolis, Md,
pastor of the LIST Methodist Episcopal church,
enclosing slip from the columns of the New
York american RefOrmer, of April 11th, 1885,
of which the following is a copy: "Mrs. Char
lotte Smith, employed by committee of the
House OF Representatives to collect statistics re-
specting the employment of women, has un-
earthed some facts which should bring the
blush of shame to every patriots cheek.
Among these are the police statistics of Wash
ingtOn, which show that there are 100 houses
of ill-fame and 300 designation houses in that
city, while not less that 600 women of doubtful
character are employed in the departments,
placed and kept there by congressional infiu-
ence." Mr.. Leech spent eleven years OF his pas
tOral life in Washington in charge OF four differ
ent churches, and was raised and educated
here. After expressing his disbelief in the state
mentS, he says that elf an error, it ought not to
be going round in the columns of such a paper
as the Reformer," and asked to hear from the
commissioners as to the matter.
The Commissioners this morning answered,
through Secretary Tindaii: "Sir:-Your favor of
York paper, concerning bad houses in this city
and dfsreputable women in the employ of the
government, is read, and am instructed to say
that II Is, as you suppose, gross libel. There
are no such police statistics and it is well
known, both to the police and citizens, that the
OF character-very many of them the widows
daughters or dependents of men of honorable
fame who died or were disabled in the service
Of the country. Your indignation that such
statements should be published is shared by all
good citizens but the character of the capital
city is becoming too well known to the people
OF the country to require contradiction of the
falSehOOdS even though they appear in print"

A TEST CASE IN The ClhCU1V COURT.
To-day in the Circuit Court, Judge Cox, the
case of the District against T. E. Waggaman
was heard on demurrer-Messrs. Riddle and
Miller for the District, and Messrs. w. F. Mat
tingley and Gala for defendant. This is an
action on the bond of defendant as real estate
agent, which it is claimed has been forfeited for
a Noncompliance with the law, and it Is re-
garded as a test case: The license law requires
the giving of bond conditioned to pay a per-
centage on commissions earned by them, and
the agents contest it on the ground that the re-
auirement is in the nature Of an income tax
upon but one class Of business, and was not
within the charter powers conferred upon the
District legislature by Congress. They also
claim that no annual license should be exacted,
because Congress in July, 1876, had before it a
pamphlet edit on of the license law published
by direction Of the legislature, and that by an
err Or of the collector numbered the paragraph
requiring a tax of real estate agents 35, instead
of 3S, and reported it by number, and not by
kind of business, and the District officers acted
for six years upon the suppOsitiOn that the IL
cense tax on agents had been repealed, and
finding the law had been repealed only in spirit
they proceeded to enforce 1t by requiring the
giving of bond before issuing a license Now
the District brings suit. The decision was re-
served.
