The District Commissioners have addressed
communication to Senator ingalls,, giving
their views on the proposition of the heirs OF
Daniel Carroll to sell 10 the United States
squares 735 and 1876, in the rear of the Provi-
dence Hospital, for National inebriate asy.
lum. These squares form q remnant of the
old "Duddington Manor" and on square 736
stands the mansion of Daniel Carroll, Of Dud-
dington. In their communication the Com
mlssioners allude to the recent changes In the
grade of streets around the Duddinglon man
sion and the enormous taxes assessed against
the property. which has rendered il compare.
lively vaueless. And among the numerous
cases of ruinous injuries TO property in all
parts of Washington and Georgetown growing
out of the recent changes and Improvement
by the municipal authorities, this is perhaps
the most fragrant.
Besides these equitable considerations, II
should be borne in mind that Duddington is
among the last and altogether the most inter.
estinR of the historical monuments that re-
main in the District Of Columbia, and they
think, therefore, that as a mUtter Of public in.
tercst it should DO perpetuated as an attrac.
tive and venerable relic Of the early history OF
the Federal Capital. In conclusion they OK
press the hope that the memorial commended
alike by justice, benevolence and patriotism
will receive, as it deserves tho prompt and
favorable consideration Of Congress.

quently visited the building ut night and on

came nearly every night. Frequently baskets
Of champagne aud refreshments were brought

witness was examined into details as to

was such that the brokers crowded out the
other people in the day tiuie.

lcct drawbacks, but had notified some parties

Tho Union railroad Question.

Tho subcommittee of the Senate District
Committee, to whom was referred the House
resolution directing the District Commits
siomcrs 10 examine into the subject and sub.
nit to Congress report upon proper site for
q Union railroad depot, gave q hearing yestor-
day TO persons interested in the subject. Vice
President Reyscr, of the Baltimore 4 Ohio
railroad, stated that his company opposed the
present consideration of the subject on
the ground that the time-thirty days
was too short, but they would join with
the Commissioners in devising some plan
which would protect both tho companies and
the public. II was understood, he said, that
the scheme 10 reclaim the fats involved the
location Of the depos, and his company fa-
vored that plan, as it would enable them to
connect with their southern roads. Commits.
sioncr Dent spoke in favor Of the resolution,
as il looked to the early establishment OF n
union depot and the salvation Of thousands of
dollars worth OF property,
Senator Whyte said the committee had now
heard different views upon the resolution,
and would take speedy action In the matter.
The conference then closed.
