subject agree that whilst oleanly kept mar
kets, properly built, as In Philadelphia OF
late years, and still more so In Paris, Lon
don, Lyons, and all the great cities OF the
continent, can be made an ornament 10 any
street, the combinations OF public halls,
stores, or public buildings with them have
uniformly proved 10 be most deplorable fail-
ures. This compound idea has long since
been abandoned wherever tried high rents
may be obtained, but Il Is done at the expensc
Of circulation Of air, ventilation, light, clean
llness, and other important considerations.
III Congress has right, and feels disposed,
century, 10 interfere with the well-maturod
plan and established streets Of the city, let
that strip Of land on Pennsylvania avenue,
between Seventh and Ninth streets, $50 feet
long and "not less than 80 feet deep" be sold
at auction, where II Will bring over t400, 900.
The city OF Washington might then be really
benefited BY applying part Of the proceeds Of
the sale TO finish our well-located City Hall,
where our city fathers need not be humll.
lated TO the role Of pensioners In an asylum
offered by Joint stock company, but enjoy
the generosity OF the Federal Government,
whilst It is doubtful whether, under the pro-
posed arrangement, their share OF the pros
pectiye quarters on Seventh street would
not DO more crainped than the present ac-
commodations. A company could still be
found anxious to take care Of the rear OF the
market square under almost any conditions,
II this most valuable franchise or the NUM-
cipal government Is to be disposed Of In
way so as to benefit q few individuals,
while In the hands Of the city every property
holder would be allowed to participate.
We cannot enlarge on the details OF this
bill, which permits the corporation TO close
the subscription books when q majority Of
them shall deem the amount subscribed suf-
fcicnt to authorize the company TO COM
mcnce work, which compels the stockholders
TO select their first and most important board
Of directors from among the corporators,
thirteen Of Of whom cannot even be found In
the Washington Directory, which further
permits this board, Instituted 40 above, to
call In the stock at the rate Of Is per centum
per month, and declare any shares, when not
pad up, forfeited or not, at the option Of the
directors; which gives them power to con-
tract with whomever they please "for the
necessary work, construction OF buildings,
fx the amount of compensation" and so on.
Lot Congress pause before acting, and It
will receive the thanks OF all good citizens
interested In the permanent prosperity and
integrity Of the metropolis Of the nation for
more than one generation. p .. %.

A HAIR THIEF.-Mr. Phillip, who keeps
store at the corner of Seventh and c streets,
In the Washington building, has in his show
window fine display of hair OF all sorts and
colors. About Q o'clock on Sunday night
Officers Lewis and Larrabee, who are on that
beat, discovered that the hair had disap-
pcared. They were Informed that man
was seen entering the establishment, and
concluded to wait until he came out. AMER
waiting some time, and Just "a they were
about to leave, the officers heard ''click''
In the lock, which satisfied them that some
one was In the store. They called upon the
party to come out and give an account OF
himself, but he not doing so, they had re-
course to strategy, and one Of the officers,
going to the store door on c street, ratified It
as though an entrance was to be effected in
that way. The other officer remained at the
Seventh street door and arrested the thief as
he rushed out. The thief had carpet bag
filled with about s400 worth Of hair. He
gave his name as John II. Hubbard, and says
he has been In Washington but a day or two.
He was committed to Jail for court, and
yesterday the grand jury found q true bill
against him for burglary. It appears that
he entered the store by skeleton key, and
but for the vigilance Of the officers would
have escaped with his booty.

ming for the purpose of making preparations
for the inaugural ceremonies.
In consequence Of the want of favorable
action by the Councils the Board did not feel

Chief Engineer to incur no expense on that
account until further action by the Board.
A resolution was adopted allowing the
members Of the fire department to give
ball, either as brigade or ball by each
company that desired to do 80.
Mr.. Gorbutt rendered the use of his hall
free for such purpose.
