THE DRAMA.
FIFTH AVENUE THEATER.

The well known play of SaratOga"-which

Secretary Richardson is not willing to take
the responsibility of recommending additional
taxation. The Ways and Means Committee OF
the House are equally unwilling, and, in their
late discussion of the subject. they con-
trived TO let the Secretary enjoy the
benefit of at least suggesting what they
knew to be most unwelcOme plan
for replenshing the exhausted Treasury
more taxation. The situation daily grows
more critical Only $40OO,000 cash remains in
the Treasury; the receipts are less than the
expenditures; the so-called reserve is drawn
down to $19,OOO,OOO; the May interest will
require $16,000OO0, and the Secretary turns
despairingly togthe $SO,0O0,0OO gold on hand
as a last resort. Things do look pretty blue,
it must be confessed, and the Secretary sees
hope in nothing but initiation, additional
taxation, or an increase of the bonded debt.
He says there is no conflict between him and
Congress on the subject of increased taxation
that is to say, he is not responsible for any
decided opinions on that point, but is ready
to take whatever Congress in its wisdom may
determine. The House will have an OppOr-
tunlty to day to say what it thinks about this
business. Mr.. Kelley's resolution cOndemning
the levying of more taxes is before the House.
1t will not do for Congressman to wait any
longer for something to turn up. The finan-
cial question must be faced now.

Communication from General Chip
man ON Two Interesting Questions.
HOUSE OF KEPRKsENTArIVEs,
ID. c., February 20, Is.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., February %. 1874. !
Editor Of the Star Il wish you would assure
the good people of Georgetown that SO far as
know the Committee on the District OF Colum-
bia has no purpose to remove the Custom House
or take away their post office facilities. On the
contrary, the bill adds the carrier system. As
to naming the streets, those running east and
west were not changed, because proposition
lie pending to change the names of the lettered
streets or Washington, which change would
reach the streets of Georgetown; and finally that
the committee will recommend no bill until
with it.
While writing / will add that this committee
recommended the proposed route for the Point
Lookout railroad: First, Because it does less
damage to public and private interests than
any route suggested, and avoids the populous
portions of the city, and, Second, Because
Board of Survey, composed of General Hum
phreys, Professor PIERCE, Governor Cooke,
Governor Shepherd, General Babcock, and
Captain Patterson (See Senate mis-. doc, No.
Is, Sd session, 43d Congress) recommend that
all the railroads be centered on the river front,
and in their plan they bring the shipping inter-
ests and railroad interests together there. The
railroad company didn't want to cross the Eas-
tern Branch below the navy yard. as it involves
between a bridge there with ample draw, and
which should be removed IL an obstruction to
navigation, and a route nearly parallel with the
Baltimore and Potomac railroad, which crosses
twenty three streets and fouT avenues, and runs
through populous part of the city. I shall
not myself willingly consent to have any more
steam railroads penetrate the center of the city,
The committee thought by combining the Point
Lookout road to the river fats subject to the
future plans for improving the harbor they were
doing the best thing. However, If the bridge
on the Eastern Branch imperils the navy yard
in the least / for one shall never consent to
grant the right, and this question is now being
carefully examined by the Secretary of the
Navy. Meanwhile, if better route for the
Point Lookout road to reach the GEORGETOWN
coal depots, by the way of Rock creek or other
wise, can be suggested, think the committee
would be glad to know it and do not doubt the
railroad company also.
Yours, truly, N. P. CHIPMAN.
