The NEW IDEA,

The publication in yesterdays REPUBLIcAN Of
the movement inauguraied for the requirement.
Of Pennsylvania avenue from the Capitol gates
to the Treasury Department, created profound
Impression, and was, throughout the day, the
topic of conversation among all interested. 1t is
entirely safe and judlcous to say that the public
sentiment, as far as developed, was wholly in
paved, but opinion was not quite so unanimous In
regard to the kind Of pavement that should be
adopted.
The petition to the Com mmIssioners was numer-
ously signed, and to-day the signatures will be
largely increased. The sentiment was also in
favor OF Immediate action, the merchants and
business men wanting the work executed during
the settled weather Of the summer months. The
arguments in favor Of the repaving are so patent
and Affirmative as to leave no room for the dis
cussion of its feasibility.
