VIRGINIA AVENUE.

The property-holders on Maryland and Viz
ginia avenues southwest have held several meet
ings lately relative to the removal of the tracks
Of the Baltimore and Potomac railroad on these
avenues. The Commissioners are at this time
preparing report TO be submitted to the prop
erty-holders on this subject, which will no doubt
be favorable to their interests.
Mr.. Geo. q. wilkins, superintendent, with Mr.
Wood, resident engineer Of the Baltimore and
Potomac railroad, yesterday held q conference
with Lieut.. HOxie, engineer of the District Of
Columbia, in relation to the location and conduct
of that portion Of the road which is on Maryland
and Virginia avenues, and is Q subject Of CON-
plant by the residents on those thoroughfares.
The result OF the conference was an agreement to
alter the location OF the tracks and the grade so
as to give the relief desired. The tracks are to
be consolidated in the centre Of the avenues leav
ing, to be set outside of the railroad tracks. The
crossings are to be made passable by planking
between the rails. In this connection orders were
issued for the improvement OF the depot square
(bounded by Ninth and D streets and Maryland
aVeDue) by tearing down the present frame struc-
ture and erecting In lieu thereof building front
ing 200 feet street and 90 feet on Ninth street.
SO that the freight tracks can be run the north
sary to leave cars for loading unloading on the
street. Positive orders have been Issued against
loading or unloading on the thoroughTares, and
on no consideration will cars be allowed to block
the crossings.
Orders were given by Mr.. wilkins to the effect
that the section purchased by the railroad con-
pany, on the north side Of Maryland avenue, be-
tween Thirteenan half and Fourteenth streets,
be prepared as soon possible as coal depot for
the company. 1t lie proposed to remove the pres
ent retaining wall at the curb line to the build
ing line, and place on It coping Of Seneca stone
and iron railing. Tracks will be run in and pock-
cts constructed beneath, and when this is IN use
1t will be the general depot for all the coal Rrrv
ing by the Baltimore and Potomac railroad.

EAST WASHINGTON.
A Ramble Through the Section,

A ramble about Capitol Hill discovers a large
nlmber Of improvements, both public and pri.
yate. A street northeast has large force of
laborers, grading and finishing the street from
Second street eastward. This is an Improvement
long needed. The work Of grading was begun
two years ago, but the contractor failing to carry
out his agreement the work was suspended, and
has so remained up to this time to the great In
convenience Of the citizens the street. and to the
injury Of property there. Many lust complaints
dents, but all are now buoya over the prospect
that their street will soon be made good as the
neighboring streets have been, and all are willing
to forget past neglect In the anticipatons Of the
future. All have good word to say for Lieut..
Hoxie.
Massachusetts avenue has also large force of
men and carts grading and opening that avenue
from North Capitol street eastward. This is an
improvement we'll timed. This avenue, when
opened and completed, as is contemplated, will
give short and convenient connection between
the northwestern portion OF the city, as also the
county north and west Of the city, and Capitol
HILL the Navy Yard and the country across the
Eastern branch and avoid the steep hill around
the Capitol. It will also open up valuable sec
ton Of the city for improvement. The new Navy
Yard bridge Is rapidly nearing completion, aud
will be one Of the finest structures in the country
The citizens are full Of hope that as soon as the
road viii be extended across the river to UnIon-
town, and that thereby new interest Will be
aroused in the eastern portion Of the city.
or the native energy Of the people Of the Hill or
both, have inspired q commendaole spirit OF prog
ress in all the eastern portion Of the city; for
there is scarcely square beyond the Capitol that
has not in progress some work Of substantial i'm
provement, either in the erection OF new or the re-
modelling and charging Of old buildings. The
Wet End may well look to its laurels. The indi-
cations are that the East is fully up 10 1t in the
march of genuine progress.
Work has been resumed on the East Capitol
park. The soil is being laid where the excaya-
tions were made, and the work OF finishing the
parking is fairly begun. In Q short time, the
local engineer in charge says, other work-such
as laying the flag and other stone-win be re-
sumed, and that it will not be long before there
will begin to be developed the artistic beauties Of
that work which have been 90 long promised and
which citizens have been 50 long and 50 patiently
waiting for.

OFFICE OF PAGE & FLETCHER
1902 PENN. AVE, REPUBLICAN BUILDING, ,
WASHINGTON, April 9, 1875.
To the Editor of the National Republican:
SIR: In your report Of the proceedings before
the Board of Police Commissioners, printed in
your issue Of to-day, this statement is made
among others:
THE application Of G. W. Bauer for liquor
license was approved; that Of Page Fletcher,
disapproved."
We beg to say that this is the first information
that we nave received of our having made any
such application. Our business, as you we'll know,
is entirely foreign to anything OF this kind, and
If any such application has been made in the
name Of this firm 1t has, doubtless, been done by
some scalaHag, who Is aware that every member
Of the firm, both Of the New York house and the
Washington branch, is a temperance man in
principle and in practice. 1t is, perhaps, pretty
good Joke at our expense, especially as Just at
the present time the senior member Of our house
is engaged in an active campaign in his own
twonship Chatham, N. ~ TO maintain the local.
option law, the operation of which has wholly
driven rum out Of that township for the past four
years.
If you can furnish us the name Of the shyster
who has thus made this fling at us, we will un-
dertake job right in our line, viz To furnish
carbolIe acid and creosote oil enough to dlsinect
and regenerate him and make him a decent citi-
zen.
Very respectfully you're,

NORTH PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.

DR.. Hugh Smith Carpenter, who will preach
tomorrow in the North Presbyterian church, N
street. between Ninth and Tenth, recently hal
charge Of the HoWard-street church, in San Fran
cisco. Speaking Of him, the San Francisco Daily
Post, in its issue Of July Is, 1874 says: Dr. Car
penter is conceded to be man of rare ability and
wisely Indifferent to mere ecclesiasticlsn, except
80 far as It promotes human happiness, fellowship
and good will" The same paper quotes the fol-
lowing from an Eastern exchange: DR.. Carpen-
ter differs from all other men. Like the ele-
ments, he scatters sunlight or storms as the great
Master moves him. He is no organ tuaed by
some Swiss boy Of the church. but like the oracles
Of old, the mOuth-piece Of the godn; polished as
the last from the schools and muscular as Sam
son. The flute caunot utter q sWeeter note, nCT
can Mars hurl deadlier blow. The Hhiteued
orders emptied Of their bones by his inteIlec-
tual bolts. ChinaWare upon the anvil suffers no
more than the forms Of the age from his sledge.
HIS power is in the Lord, not in the spear in his
hand. He grapples with evil, dashes its white
washed responsibilities to pieces clings TO prin-
cples, loves the truth, and fears nothing but his
Maker The lineaments Of his mind by his words
eYinee the stoutest culture. The bold word, the
intense aHection. the large thought, the molten
truth, the range Of information and the expression
Of the idea make him a star Of the frst magni.

THE PERSONAL TAX.
What tie Citizens Committee Saw O.

What tie Citizens Committee Saw of II.
At meeting of the citizens OF the District of
Columbia, held at Lincoln hall on Monday, the
18th Of March, 1875, to consider the tax law re.
Gently enacted by Congress, the undersigned
were appointed q committee to confer with the
Commissioners of the District, with a view to in
duce revision Of the schedule recently pre
pared by them for the assessment of personal
property.
IN the LIST Of April the committee had an inter-
view Win the Commissioners, which failed to re-
suit IN concurrence OF opinion. In this condi-
uon OF MARE ana In view Of the apparently ire
coneLaDle oinerence Of opinion, the committee do
not feel called upon at present to maze sny spe
eihc recommendation. They express the eonTic.
Congress to be as comprehensive and onerons ~
1t has been made by the Interpretation III ths
Commissioners, and that it fairly admits of a
different and milder Interpretation.
They call attention to the fact that the AIT oF
Congress exaets from the taxpayer a Statement
only Of what is subject to taxation under its pro-
visions, without comforting any special authorize
upon any one to interpret Il, or to determine
what is so subject to taxation. Hence the de-
cisiCn of doubtful questions arising under the
law must be RENTED to the conscience of the in
dividual Taxpayers.
The citizens Of the District NAV rest assnrad
that your committee will not leave anything nm
done TO protect their rights and interests and n
carry into effect the object Of the citizens meet
