To the Editor of the National Republican,:
SIR: Believing the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN to

all parts of the city, 1 beg leave, on behalf of
the residents south OF Pennsylvania avenue, to
enter a most solemn protest against what we re
gard an invaston-of our rightsssnd interests by
the railroad bill recently introduced in Congress
BY Mr.. Banks According to the provisions of
this bill the Baltimore and Potomac railroad is
granted leave TO occupy E street for the passage
OF trains drawn by locomotives going to and re-
turning from the contemplated Union depot,
near Seventeenth street northwest.
NoE, Mr.. Editor: We certainly do not object to
the tracks now on Virginia and Maryland ave-
nues being taken up, but, on the contrary, would
congratulate ourselves on seeing that long per-
petrsted and deeply-felt nuisance abated. But
we must object, and think the objection we'll

What we desire, and what the interests of the
whole city demand, is to have the tracks re-
moved. either on the line Of the river south, or
interfere with no private interest, and by either
Of which routes trains could reach the contem-
plated Union depot.
ter will be brought to the District Committee in
Congress. This proposed route Of steam cars on
Z street would bring the tracks within twenty
feet Of st. Domtn1cs church, one OF the largest
and handsomest churches In the District, and IL
requires no stretch of Imagination to see what an
outrage would thus be inflicted upon the congre.
cation worshiping in It. Ga the opposite sQu2re

which would in like manner suffer. Two squares
further west is the Bowen school house, with its

the District Committee to look at the street,
about thirty five feet wide, and its location in the
most desirable section of South Washing ton.
they all would agree with me that, whatever
rontes may be suggested by which TO avoid the
passage Of steam cars through the city, the one
