LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
A SHABBY SIDEWALK.
To he Efnor

WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.--In response to
your remarks in your issue of to-day, under
the heading "Tbe National Capital" in which
you say 1T should be the duty of every citi-
zen of the district to contribute his mite to.
ward the general advancement and pros
perity of the national capital" l now send
you my mites. 1t is to invite attention TO
the shabby and ragged appearance of the
sidewalk on the north front of the Presi-
dents house (fronting Lafayette square)
Pennsylvania avenue. There are and have
trees. The spaces around the trees and those
two vacant places are from four to five
times the size of openings around the trees
on the opposite side of the avenue. The
tagging is patched, ragged and in many
places uneven. Tho most casual observer
cannot fail to observe and to COM
pare the pavements, trees and gen.
eral appearance of the south
sido of Pennsylvania avenue. between
the south of the treasury, and east of the state,
navy, and war departments. Although this
flag pavement" may have been considered
fair material and work for contractors at tho
time it was laid, it is evidently now necessary
to make it compare little more favorably
with the sidewalks around aud in the capitol
grounds, andn with those already laid east
of the state, navy and war departments. This
is good season for planting trees, removing
dead limbs, &C., and for sodding around the
roots of those trees which from change of grade,
where the earth cannot be made perfectly
level without danger of injuring the trees.
Why such large unpaved spaces, irregular in
size and shape should be found only in front
of the white lot" whore one would expect
care to be seen and taste displayed, is conun-
drum that may possibly be answered.

THE CAPITOL BUILDING.

Report OF Architect Clark AS to the Pro-
gress OF the Work on the Marble APP
proaches.
Architect Clark of the capitol has sub
mitted his annual report to the department.
of justice. 1t states that the work on the
marble approaches has progressed. They will
be in accordance with the design adopted by
congress in 1S74-a terrace of marble to
supersede the present earthwork and q
graceful and imposing stairway on the
west This improvement will also add
1900 feet of additional space to the basement
of the building, divided into rooms. The plan
also provides that the espanade or deck of the
terrace shall be divided into two parts, the
division running midway between the outer
walls of the present building and the outer
walls of the proposed new work. About
$4,000 has thus far been expended on the
work. The cost of completing it will be about
300 000

ANOTHER ARGUMENT FOR SUFFRAGE.
To The Editor

WASHINGTON, Nov. 81 would suggest
that it might be we'll for the commissioners to
recommend to congress the following in ad-
dtion to the oath now administered to clerks
and employees when entering the government
service-"that | will not play billiards or
games Of chance that will attend church at
least once on the Sabbath day, and that l
will not eat turkey more than once a week,
so help me -" Now this would be in the
line of reform. Going to church would be
good for the morals playing games of chance
is on par, If not worse, than buying lottery
tickets, and eating turkey is too expensive.
Joking aside, the commissioners have fur
nished the strongest argument have seen for
suffrage in this district. f. =. Il.

Additional Railway Facilities for tn
Capital City. 0

Capital City.
As the result of conference in Baltimore
negotiations were concluded Tuesday in that
city for the purchase of the franchise, &C., of
the Washington City, Cincinnati and ST..
Louis Railroad company, by a syndicate which
includes Mr. A. n. Martin, Col. U. l. Boyce,
John w. Allamong, and Jos. S. Loose, of
Bridgewater Rockingham, county, Virginia,
who recently bought the property at auction,
and others. ,s' ,ujuhs rE
About forty-fve miles of the road have
been graded, and thirty-seven miles of that
distance can be used by the new company.
1t is proposed to build a standard road, COM
mencing at or near Linwood, Rockingham
county, on the Shenandoah valley road.
TheL ce it will extend twenty miles to Har-
risonburg, where the Baltimore and Ohio
line will intersect. From Harrisonburg it
will strike westward for about 100 miles. 1t
will open up for market the Dora coal mines.
Further on it will penetrate Pocahontas aud
Webster counties.
Much capital is involved, and IL is proposed
that work on the road shall begin sixty days
after the sale is ratified. Mr.. II. ID. Cooke, of
this city, is interested in the transaction.
Yesterday Mr.. Cooke took party of gentle
men along the line of the Washington, Ohio
and Western railway, which is now completed
as far as Round hill, Va, and for which sur
veys are now being made to continue it
across the mountains to Berryville, and
thence direct to Winchester. The party ex-
pressed themselves thoroughly pleased with
the work that has been done thus far, and
believe that this road will be of great ad-
vantage for Washington when it shall be
completed
This road is entirely distinct from the
Washington City, Cincinnati and st. Louis
road, though both are intended to advance
and promote the interest of Washington.
the matter of furnishing additional railway
facilities for the capital city are shown in
the fact that he is largely interested in both
| these roads.
