Important to Washington-Th'
METROPOLITAN Railroad.


In preceding articles an humble effort has been
made to show the importance to the city of Wash
ington and to the whole country, of the so called
Western Railroad. This number is intended to
invite present attention to the urgency of an i'm
mediate subscription by the citizens of Washing
ton to the Metropolitan Railroad. No one who
understands the influence that railroads have ex
ered upon the prosperity of other Cities especially
Boston and Baltimore, to which they were indis-
pensable, and where property in real estate has
more than doubled since their introduction; and
who also understands, as any one may do by
reference to the map, the peculiar local advan
tages of Washington especially that, by means
of the Metropolitan Railroad, our beautiful capital
can form nearer connection with the western
trade, for which our sister cities are struggling,
than any other port in the Atlantic States on tide
water suit BILE for shipping of the heaviest burden
no one, say, can have any doubt upon the sub
ject So far regards location, in these and other
respects, Washington, somewhat similarly situa-
ted, has decided advanta ges over Philadelphia.
But if there is not sufficient intelligence and en-
te5prise in the citizens of Washington to avail
themselves OF these advantages, especially at the
present moment, by liberal subscription to the
Metropolitan Railroad, (something, however
small, on the part Of every citizen.) the opportu
nifty may be lost forever. Although there is one
common interest for the whole country that its
metropolis, of which it may well be proud, should
be the centre of our railroad system, from which
railroads to every quarter should radiate, yet it
behooves Washington City, through her citizens,
to give such an impetus to this great national
work (the Metropolitan as will be sure to lead to
it's early completion. That this would promote
the prosperity of Washington more than any I'M
dertaking that can be suggested there can be no
doubt 1t would place this city in closer connex.
ION with the great centres our railway system
st. Louis, Chicago, Detroit, Louisville, and Gin
cinnati-than any ofthe Atlantic cities; and would
place Washington directly upon the route be
tween the great cities of the East and West, be-
tween New York and Cincinnati-the fastest line
of travel between these great marts of commerce.
The tide of travel flowing through Washington
would become incalculable.

The GAvAzzI RIOT AT MoNTREAL.-Att the meet
ing of the city council, Friday, the Mavor,
Hon. Charles Wilson, in consequence of the heavy
charges OF incapaciy aud reckessness laid to him,
rendered his resignation declaring the impossi
bility OF his contributing to the maintenance OF
the supremacy of law and order, when apparent.
ly, the public confidence was withdrawn from him
Al a meeting of the citizens il was demanded thai
the mayor resign.
The council fully discussed the proposition Of
the mayor TO resign, and came TO the conclu sion
not 10 accept it. In the discussion, men of all par
ties expressed the desire that Caviar should con-
clude his lectures, and that he be protected at all
hazards. 1t was announced that the lectures
Woulo be resumed. The whole subject is being
investigated by coroners' juries.
The question is still agitated, who ordered the
troops to fire? 1t has been presumed that regular
English troops would not fire without orders. But,
according to statement made in the city council,
the soldiers must have fired without orders. Al
derman Atwater stated that the officer in command
of the troops had declared in bis that he
gave no orders to fire. SO far from that he actu-
ally ran in before the men. and at the risk of his
life knocked up of their muskets to prevent
their firing. The officer further stated that rs
heard no order to fire proceed from the mayor.
