LETTERS FROM TIE PEOPLE,

Mr.. EDITOR: Why is 1t that X street, be-
tween Sd and North Capitol, has not been
cleaned since the Goth of April last, when 1t
was done under the old (and better) regime?
Why Is 1t that a portion of K street Is swept
once week, and that the carts, on reaching
Sd, turn back? Can't you prevail on Andy
to come little further? Those street-sweep.

and We would like TO have one look at them.
ASK him, please, to bring them along once
in order to give the residents one GLIMPSE.
This street is In much worse condition tlan

are TO be cleaned regularly, why is tn neg
lectfd? 1t is paved, and 1t is probable that
If any one chooses to search he may, after

AN ANNAPOLIS SCANDAL.-AbOutt the ed
OF lest month Miss Ida Shipley, aged seven
Baltimore, swore out q warrant against her
brother in-law, Henry Burlingame, chief OF
police of this city, charging him with an at
tempt to commit an outrage upon her per-
S1,0C0 bonds to appear for further examina-
ton to day. AT the trial yesterday Miss
Shipley charged that the offence was at
tempted on or about the 9th of last March,
while she was on visit to his house in this
city, and she then described the proceedings
which are not necessary or ut for publica-
ton. On cross examination by Jas. ReveIl,
esq, counsel for Builiugame, she admitted
that she had been in BID with him and his
wife, and also that she had had an illegiti-
mate child by another party. The witnesses
called by the plaintiff also contra iicted her
statements in material points, and Burlin-
games testimony was entirely at variance
with the deposition OF his eister in law. The
