1t is with regret we notice that the OBJ
lection which exists against the location
ofthe Marine Band at the Capitol grounds,
operates with increased force at the White
House. If the people hear their music
but little at the former place, they hear it
less at the latter.
The design of this music for the million
is to bring it within the reach Of as many
as possible. The rich can have music
from their pianos, and guitars, and harps
at home. But the laboring man and his
family want to hear the Band in the pleas
ant walks of the government. 1t is hard,
then, to have the performers located in
such way that they are not well heard
by one in hundred of the multitudes
who flock to hear them.
Gentlemen in authority! Give us a
better location for the Band. Put the
musicians up hi CHER from the ground.
Let the area in which they perform be
more extended, and let it be kept clear,
so that all who come to listen may enjoy
that pleasure.

For the Daily Evening Star.

Mr.. EDITOR: Will you call the atten-
ton of the q City Authorities" to the in
solent conduct Of the free negroes who
infest this city? For unless some lowfvl
measures are adopted to keep them in
their place, people will be compelled to
resort to ualanfA means in order to pro.
tect themselves from negro insolence.
It is impossible to walk the streets
without meeting a gang of negroes, who
no more think Of giving an inch of the
sidewalk to single pedestrians than they
do Of fl wing. And ladies cannot, and do
not, meet these insolent rascals without
being compelled to walk entirely around
them in order to avoid being jostled by
them
1t is but short time since, that a Young
lady Of the highest responsibility was
seized by huge negro, and kissed, des
pite her efforts to prevent it. This was
done too in a public thoroughfare, and in
broad day light. In fact, the negroes in
this city are getting entirely above them
selves, and some measures will have to
be resorted to to convince them that they
are south Of Mason and DiXon's line"
They have no doubt been counselled to
this course by the abolitionists among us,
and if so, am Of the opinion that every
white man should carry big stick, and
when he meets negro whose conduct
evinces a total disregard of the respect
which he has a right to expect of every
negro, let him add to abolition counsel
Southern practice, and give the '.colored
gentleman" a feeling sense Of his regard
Would it not be well to have a meeting
Of those favorable to the supremacy Of
the whites, where some uniformity of &C
ton could be agreed upon? VIII YOU
call attention to this matter, for it is really
necessary that some attention should be
given to this matter.
[ am, very respectfully,
\ WHITE Man.

Orange and Alexandria and Metropolitan
Railroad ComDauias

hdurodu CoNip9oIeS
The Board Of Aldermen yesterday after
noon took up for consideration the reso
luton of the Board of Common Council
- that the Mayor be and he is hereby
requested to call general meeting of the
voters of this city, at au early day, for
the purpose of discussing the question as
to the propriety Of this corporation sub
scriblng to the capital stock of the Orange
and Alexandria and the Metropolitan
Railroad Companies"
Mr.. Wilson said it occurred TO him that
the proposition to call public meeting
was Of TOO much interest to be started at
the mere suggestion of a single individual.
The citizens have sense enough to appre,
cIate their own best interests, and if they
had deep concern in this subject, the
Councils would have heard from them
before this time. If such a meeting
should be held, under present circumstan.
ces, bat few would probably attend it ::
resolutions, ':cut and dried" would be
passed and even those opposed to APP,
preparations for those objects would be
cried down. He therefore hoped the
Board would not sustain resolu, ion Of
this kind, unless it was desired by the
people themselves. He moved that the
resolution be laid upon the table.
Mr.. Burrows hoped the gentleman would
withdraw the motion. He thought that,
if public meeting should be called, the
opponents Of the measure would be more
fully represented than its friends: and
that such meeting would be largely at
tended. He wished to call forth fair
exposition Of the public will
Mr.. Towers said the Board OF Common
Council had passed resolution submit
ting to the people, at the next June cleo
ton, the question whether they will sub
scribe six hundred thousand dollars
towards the Orange and Alexandria rail
road. aud he suggested that it would not
be proper to act upon the subject now
pending until that to which he had re-
ferred shall have been definitely acted
upon BY this Board.
Mr.. Writ opposed the resolution. The
people, he said, have intelligence enough
10 ask for what they want of the Councils.
The proposition came here for endorse
ment, and in this event it would be said
they sanctioned the project to involve the
city IN extensive pecuniary liza bility, ard
cripple its progress for years to come.
Mr.. Hill said that, if there was to be
public discussion, he should like to have
all the facts in the case, and therefore
expressed the hope that the resolution
would be referred to the Committee on
Finance. with view of obtaining them.
Mr.. Wilson further opposed the propo
sition. In a financial point of view,
greater or grosSer absurdity than that to
appropriate 100000 for a railroad in
the heart of Virginia. never entered into
the mind of man. Besides. the CITY is
now largely in debt: and an increase of
taxation would have tendency to crush
the spirit of improvement now in pro
gresS.
The resolution was laid upon tie table;
all the members present voting in the
affirmative. Messrs French, Gordon, and
Page were absent.
