Eprrom STAR: I see by Tae Star of yester- day that a circus company has been driven out or Blondsville, Kentucky, for insulting citizens, and other reprehensible acts. I would ask by whose permission is it that a branch or offshoot of this same circus is allowed to &jnat down on 6th street, within a stone’s throw of Pennsylva- nia avenue, to the annoyance of a respectable neighborhood and occasioning the blocking up of the entire street, now a great thoroughfare since the conmpletion of the 6th street bridge? It was quite bad enough to be subjected to the visitation of show nuisances of this low chatac- ter before the street was spared, but now, when it is made one of the finest thoroughfares in the city, it is simply intolerable. Is Gen. Michler or Mayor Emery responsible for this injury to the respectable people in this quarter? And [ sbould be pe to know in the same connection whose fauit it is that the same cireas company is allowed to erect a hideous structure of boards tor their bills along the most conspicuous por- tion of Pennsylvania avenue, to great in- convenience of the public, and especially those have business at the market’ August 224, 1 SIxtTs SrREEt.
