A bill was reported few days ago in the
Senate, by Mr.. NoRvELI, providing for a
new election (m OctobernexO Of Mayor, Alder
men, Common Councihnen, &C. Of the City Of
Washington. The bill is entitled A bill to
amend and continue in force the act to incor,
porate the inhabitants of the City of Washing
ton" We have not room at present for the
bill in extenso--it filing twenty-five folio
pnges--and can only state that, besides the
nev e!ection which il provides for, the prin-
cipal amendments it proposes to the present
c larter consist in dividing the city into len
wards; in authorizing poll tax; i'll extending
the right of voting to all white citizens who
shall have resided iii the city twelve. months
aud in making the conStables, police magis-
ttates, &c. elective by the people, annually.
There may be other deviations from the pres
ent charter; but these, we believe, are the
most material ones-Nat. Int.
