Washington City has made great strides in the way of improvement during the past year, | Whole streets of new buildings have been erect- ed.of as character to give the city a look o! solidity and symmetry tt lacked before. Busi- ness structures, churches, and public and pri ‘vate edifices have been built, of a size and style | to do credit to any ¢ity in the country. Streets have been opened, raw banks of earth cut down, ditches, mud-boles and miasmatic hol dows filled up, sidewalks laid, amd street im- | provements genersily carried out toan exteat | unprecedented in the city's history. Bat, uafortumately, most ot the improve- ments made are in parts of the city where they Gonot meet the eye of strangers, who piss judgment upon us from what they see in | traversing the leading thoroughfare—or what | Reed to be the the leading thoroughfare—Penn- | fylvanimavenue. The visitor enters the city | through the same raw fields, kept ungraded aud unimproved by the imeubus of the railroad track. Heis jolted up Pennsylvania avenue, ‘Over the same wretched cobble-stone payement ‘sees the same miserable old market sheds, with the same filthy canalass background. Nat- urally be thinks weare “as we were.” The imitistory steps have been taken m Con- gress to remedy the pavement nuisance; and the very next thing in order is to abate the market house nuisance. It is an eye-sore to very citizen, but from familiarity we have no idea how much its appearance prejudices the visitor agaimst the city. Congress should at once be asked fer requisite authority to deal with the nuisance. Let Congress say whether we may or may mot occupy the present posi- tion for a proper market building; and if not, what site can be takem. Congress, we may tell the stranger, is responsible for our shabby ‘market. We bave some shabby things that the city must father, but this shabby market house 4s not one of them. The Corporation procured the plans, and gave out the contract for a spacious, handsome market-house. The work had been entered upon, indeed, when Congress | put its strong paw upon the business, and to | this day bas not taken it of. The work ‘was stopped upon the representation of parties that the building would occupy | A mythical Eighth street, below the Avenue ‘that it would interfere with the view down Louisians avenue; that it would shut out an oblique view of that remarkable cruit-shaped | structure, the Smithsonian Institution, and Prevent the extension of the Smithsonian Grounds to Pennsylvania ayeaue. Congress stopped the work to consider whether these | objections were substantial, and has been con- Sidering ever since—since 1-64. Now we doubt if a pan-handle extension of the Smithsonian Grounds to the Avenue would improve either that street,or the sppearance »f the line of Pub- lic Grounds from the Capitol to the rivers which are now symmetrical, opening out canister-shape from the Capitol, and then run- ning im parallel lines to the river. Pennsyi ania ayenue is ragged enough, with triangu- Jar spaces and intersections of streets, whereby 2% continuity is destroyed, and this would make another awkward dislocation of the street. Ifthe Avenue is not to retrograde asa Dusiness street it will need more buildings, { ‘stead of less, upon the south side, to countera: the tendency of business tothe streets north of | the Avenue. There is also the question whether this ground, having been donated by Notley | ‘Young to be used as a market-place, will not revert to the heirs of the doner when that use | ceases. But whatever is settied upon should be set- ted speedily. Undoubtedly the preseat site socommodates the people of the city better | than any other tnat can be selected. It is at | the intersection of the two principal streets of the city, and at a point where the street rail. roads raduate to every part of the city. Its | Position near the canal is also a favorable one | or the removal of offal, and especially so for | the needs of the fish market. Tne new market building might be made decidedly ornamental tothe Avenue, It need not have a vestige of market business on the Avenue front. This tront should be handsome stores and offices, ‘With s spacious hall overhead. The market entrances should be on Seventh and Ninth streets. The cow-market, with its barn-yard comcomitants, should be sent te some less con- spicuous locality; so of the straw market, and the wood market. The carb-stone dealers, ‘With their poke-berries, sassafras bark, and Such like wares, should be ordered to the rear. | ‘With all these cuisances swept away and a bandsome building erected in place ot the | present wretched sheds our market would be | & matter of pride. The handsome market. bouses im Philadelphia, Boston and St. Louis Gemonstrate that they can be made ornamental | at to any street. | ee THE Eicu?-HOUR Qceation.—Since the law making eight hours a day's work went into operation at the Government srmories it has been an open question whether full pay was to be given for eight hours, or whether the re- duction of time and wages was to be propor- | tonal. At the Springfield A-mory, Colonel | Benton, commanding tne Post, comstrued the | Jaw to mean that the men working eight hours were to receive the same wages as before for ten hours’ Isbor. Gen. Rodman, commanding st Rock Island, Ill, took a comtrary view, and | apphed to Gen. Dyer, chiet of the Ordnance Bureau, for instructions. Gen. Dyer’s con. } OF mecines DEALE meeting of the be held at Trades’ | Senator Morton has published a rejoinder to the second letter of Horace Greeley. H+ courteous to his adversary but deals 01 rather sharp thrusts. The secoad Greeley let- ter, like the first, proceeds upem the assump- tom that by a mere declaration of resamptioa | the currency would be brought to par,and that such declaration should te made without de- lay. This assumption, Senator Morton de- clares, is unsupported by a single factor arga- ment. tis contradicted by all Muancial expe- Tience, whether in connection with governments orbanks. Mr. M. thinks Mr. Greeley’s arga- ‘Ment that resumption at @ period in the future, giving time to the Government and people to Prepare for it, would cause more distress than immediate resumption, is about as iogical as it would be to say that it would be safer tojamp down Niagara, likeSam Patch, than togo down by the incliaed plane. in bis letter Mr. Greeley undertook to bea little smart at the expense of Wesfern finaa- clers, saying that questions of finance receive Practical solutions in New York which are not familiar in Indiana. Senator Morton re- torts that “this is most likely true, aud yet | there are some things very well understood even im Indiana, and among them that a knowledge of stock and gold gambling is not necessary to a correct undersianding of the laws of finance, and that the less we have of the peculiarities ot New York fiance ia the ad- | ministration of the Governmeat the better for the country.”* He continues :— + Your letiers contuin a strange admixture of Tesumption by mauifesto and resumption by contraction. You say that the policy of con tracting the currency at the rate of four mil- lions 8 month would surely bave bronght ecie payments if it had been continued. Yes, if all the currency had been taken up aud nothing but gold and silver left. You forget that while that contraction was going on the currency grew worse, and seem mot to compre- hend the idea, which you evidently regard as & country notion, thatthe way for the Govern- ment to bring its currency up to par is to pre- pare to pay it according to promise. You be- lieve resumption can be brought about by con- traction, or by manifesto without contraction. ‘You treat depreciated currency asa vice to be reformed by a good resolution instead of a disease to be cured by time and the application of judicious remedies. You behe snresamp- tion by faith not by wi An old preacher once, illustrating the doctrine of sal- vation by faith, said: “It the Lord bids you jump through a stone wall, yoo must jump. Jumping is your business, and going through the wail is the Lord's.” A declarauon of immediate resumption would result m a disastrous failure, which would Jeave the currency in 8 much worse condition than itis now. If it were successtal, it would Produce great distress and issting injury to usiness. If the Government bad in the [reas- sury gold dollar for dollar with the greenback currency it should not resume atonce. To do so would be a crime against the country.” In concluding he says “In your tirst letter. which is not too old yet to quote, you flually made resumption impossi- ble, by making it dep-ndent upon a bond drawing four or five per cent. interest, which would sell for a premium in gold, which the holdersin greenbacks woul preter to coin, and into which the currency would be tunded. ‘Such a bond being impossible, in the natare of things, in advance of resumption, it would Seem unnecessary further todiscugs your plan. ‘You made resumption to result from contrac- tion, and contraction to depend upon a method incapable of execution. Until your plan shall be made consistent with itself, and its execa- tuon shown to be possible, it is hardly worth while to consider what would be its effect upon the country, and I have discussed it only as one of the mary obscurities cast into the pab- lic mind calculated to prevent its clear percep- tion of the situation and of the true measures for relief. 1 believe tuat resumption is demanded by the best interests of the nation; that it can be ac- complished without serious injury to any class or tw business; that it must proceed by a dis- tmet recognition of <he principle that the currency is to be paid according to promise, that a time for payment must be fixed far | emough off to enabie the Governmentto provide for it, the people to before which the gradual appreciatio! ‘The «Black Crook,” will be presented for the last time at the National Theater this eve- ning. 1t will be succeeded to-morrow might by “tindine, cr the Naiad Queen,” which will be produced with new scenery and a fine bal- repare for it, and at or Ls will reach par by | let troupe.

Similiar instructions were transmitted | ‘© the Springfield Armory, and all the armo- | Jers who chose to continue work until 6 o'clock P. m. bad the opportunity. The offer was, bowever, generally declined, the men fearing ‘@at by accepting ut they might unfavorably | affect the decision which they expected, that eight hours and full pay shouid go together. Since August 20, the question of wages being | in dispute, many of the workmen have declined | to receive pay, and only recently has any | money been disbursed. By the construction of the Oniet of Ordnance, and by that of the | Secretary of War, the reduction of pay | be made to correspond with that in ume: and | i orders were recently issued to pay the men | | four-fifths of the usual wages. Some of them are receiving this, but under the protest that | “'T" that they have not been paid in fall; while otherg decline to accept any portion untii cam Bave the full amount to which they deem themselves entitled. The opinion of Attorney General Evarts wis sought as to the interpre- tation of the law, and it has been stated that | be holds with the men, that the law contem- plates giving a full day's wages for eight hours | Work. Up toa very recent date, however, no | offical notice of such decision had been re- ceived at the Ordnance Burean, and the ruling | of Secretary Schofield continues in force. Con- | gress will ow need to pass some explanatory resolution setting forth the construction to be ‘pat upon the law. Uddly enough, we find that Members themselves differ as to their interpre- tation of the meaning of the law om this point. ‘This fact is probably due to the haste with which the measure was passed, allowing no | opportunity for explanatory debate. From | ‘what we can gather, however, there is little doubt that the majority construe it an Meaning to give a full day's wages for eight hours work, sud we anticipate that the supplementery Jegisiation upon the matter will be to that | effect. | anaocunced, begin a series of standard plays at Wall's Opera House this evening, commencing with «Romeo and Juliet.” From the favorable notices of the <Qmpany in the Northern papers, we conclude iat their performances will be very popular re.
