The High Street Question.

Mr. EDITOR: The only ground upon which
the Boston and Maine railroad could reason
ably ask for the dscon:inuance of High street
is that it is essential TO the establishment of
their station at that point, and that railroad
station at that point will be a great public
convenience.
But they have already conceded that the site
can be used for such station without dscontin-
uance. They can now simply say that without
discontnuance they cannot build 'just such
station as they would like to build.'' This they
have already confessed through their attorney,
at the public hearing.
The question really is, therefore, shall this
street be shut up simply to allow the railroad
Company to "build just such depot as they
would like toto allow them to extend either
the station itself, or at least some of its append
ages and accessories, across this central avenue
of the town-and this too, when the site can
confessedly be used without such obstruction.
Grant that the station would be public con-
venience. So is High street public conven-
fence, and great public convenience. Why
should High street give place to the depot, es-
pecially when the depot can be had and High
street retained too
But the truth is that aside from the geograph-
ical location, SO to speak, the site is quite un-
fitted for passenger depot. York street will
be inaccessible from the station except by
stairs and that long front accordingly may be
left out of the account. The long Commercial
street front is to be used for freight purposes
only. This the attorney of the road explicitly
affirmed in reply to questions at the hearing.
There remains only the short Maple street
front on which to locate hacks and to receive
and discharge passengers. There is room there
for twelve to fifteen hacks with the necessary
r nassng space and no more In fact passen
GERS will have to go up and down an inclined
plane, OF stains, in passing from the depDt e 10
corner, for the street will be far above the level
of the depot floor The passenger side OF the
station will be a mere sepulchre, under ground,
chilly and without good side light. This Is
the magnificent accommodation to secure
which High street is to be converted into
"dead-eye" alley! n.

New YORK, Oct. 22.-The Express prints
the following:
The mystery surrounding President Grants
latest financial letter promises to be cleared up
tomorrow as general meeting of the clearing
house has been called at the request of Presl-
dent Williams of Metropolitan bank and six
other bank officers. In regard to this letter it
is stated that Mr.. Williams sent communica-
ton to President Grant last week through the
hands of Mr.. Anthony of the firm of Anthony
q Hall, and that the latter gentleman had
consultation of two hours with the President
at Washington. The result of this was reply
to Mr.. Williams letter which was carried back
by Mr.. Anthony and also verbal promises to
the same gentleman. This letter and the
verbal promises are in the view that the Presi-
dent recognizes the depression now existing in
the manufacturing districts of New England,
and he advices the banks to extend further
discount facilities by the free use of loan GER
tifcates in the clearing house while he will
assist If necessary by encroaching literally on
the $44, 100000 reserve in the purchase of ex-
change and bonds and also by by paying out on
account of accruing obligations Some ac-
commits are that the President will put out So
0O0, 900 per week for some weeks to come, and
others are that he will buy $4,000, 900 worth of
exchange and $40, 100000 of bonds with legal
tenders
Upon the application to Mr.. Williams of the
Metropolitan bank today for the contents OF the
Presidents letter he informed us that we had
better wait till tomorrow when the whole mat
ter would be brought before the clearing house.
AS Mr. Williams was the sole possessor of the
letter and declined TO give any information, we
concluded to wait kilograms from Washing
ingtou this afternoon deny this whole business
on the authority of Secretary Richardson and
Gen. Babcock but there are some bank officers
who have seen the letter and Mr., Anthony also
asserts positively that he had an interview
with the President and brought the letter to
