Districts No. and No. have been
established and maintained as the
law directs. That petition from the

asking for the establishment OF pub

delay III the matter, We recommend
that the Board of County Comniis-
sioners create a road district at their
next regular meeting. In regard to
toll roads, we find that the toll road
between the Six-mile House and
Hamilton is in a very bad condition.
We request the Board OF County
Commissioners 10 compel the owners
Of said road 10 place the same in good
repair, and il they fail SO TO do after

The WIDOW BEDOTT AT FORDs.-Dr. Charles
B. Bishop, generally and Familiarity known to
the Washington public as ''Charley Bishop, y
the jolly, robust, and unctious comedian, APP
peared at the Opera House last night in the
..WidOw BedOtt," the play evolved from the
BedOtt papers, and in which Mr.. Bishop has
starred for two seasons. The character of the
obtrusive and vOuble widow as given by him
is irresistibly funny. His support is fair.
NATIONAL THEATER.-Michael StrOgOff proved
to be a card sufficient to fill the National last
night, in spite of the Oriole and other attrac-
lions. The scenery was something little short
of marvellous, being executed by the best Eu-
rOpean artists. While each scene was work
of art in ITSELF the one after the bombardment
by krautizky, of Vienna, and the balloon as
censiOn. by Lutzkmeyer, of Darmstadt, in which
the whole course of the voyage is displayed in
Guiding the rise, the birds-eye view Of the cities
of TOmsk and 1rkutsk, and the various rivers,
villages, ETC.. storm in the clouds, sunrise and
the descent. deserve special mention, the latter
being considered the finest piece of scenic work
ever executed. The dialogue was well rendered;
the costumes were magnificent, and the ballet
charming, several new features being intro
duced. Doubtless Michael StrOgOff is the finest
piece of spectacular work ever produced in
Washington.
THE GRAND MILITARY CONCERT at Ford's
Opera House next Sunday night by DOdsworth's
18th regiment band-S3 men, of New York, will
be notable musical event. The program en-
braces some of the most brilliant gems of the
great composers.

A Warm Protest.

To the Editor of THE EVENING STAR:
Permit me TO enter my earnest protest against
the intimated proposition of the Engineer Com
OF Saturday last. to the effect that hereafter
when new street payements are laid the abutting
property should bear proportion of the eX-
pense-
This might be just charge where entirely
new streets or streets that have never been
paved since the regime of the board of public
works are concerned, because these streets have
never borne the expense of worthless pave
ments. but i'm the case Ofstreets which were laid
with the miserable wooden payements, which
have proved worthless and for which fearful
price was paid without any service in return in
wear, bat on the contrary have been rOtted for
years. in fact almost as as land to the great
detriment of the health of the unfortunate resi-
dents in the opinion Ofthe medical faculty. why
the proposition is unjust i'm the extreme and as
aresident and property owner on such street
enter my emphatic protest. and / will add that
from what have heard of the reputation of the
Engineer Commissioner. did not think is posi-
Bile such proposition could emanate from him.
1t is Objectionable on another ground viz: These
rotten wooden payements have been replaced in
many streets but in the large majority of cases.
i think may justly say. where the wealthy re-
Side, and the streets remaining to be repayed
are mostly where the poor. or those in but mod
crate circumstances reside. Now is it fair is it
honorable, is it American that the pavements of
the wealthy should be paved out of the general
fund, and the pavementS of the poor out of
their own pockets! r. I.AyENUE

Mr.. George Scoyille, the brother-in-law and

the defence stating that he (Scoville has had but
little experience in criminal practice. Mr.. Mer-
rick declined, stating that HIS other engage
ments would prevent it. He, however, inti-
mated that if the question of Jurisdiction was
raised he might assist in the argument. Mr..
Scoville has written to Gen. Butler, asking If he
will take part in the defence. Yesterday Mr..
Scovile received the following under pOstmark
