THE RAILROAD TRACK THROUGH WASH

LIE tiAILRQAD TRACK THROUGH WASH.
ISGroN,-7lhe New York Express, commcut-
ing upon the board of public works of Wash
lngton tearing up the track connecting through
Washington the Baltimore and Ohio and the
Orange, Alexandria and Manassas railroads,
says: -"Those who suffer say they were, by
law, allowed to retain their track on these
streets until Congress should mature plan for
It's removal which would not prejudice their
rights. The Secretary of the Interior, chief
engineer of the army, aud the officer in charge
of the public buildings and grounds were d.
rectcd to report to Congress prior to the second
Monday of December, 1872, a plan by which
the locomotive railroad tracks iu trout Of the
western entrance of the Capitol shall be re-
moved. Over 700 tons Of freight going South
will be delayed for several weeks by the tearing
up of the railroad track, and great damage
suffered by both consignors and cousiguces.
This sort of violence, under the flag Of the
United States Capitol, aud the highest court in
the land in session, reflects positive di<crcdlt
upon both the local and federal government. "
