Our Christian brethren who profess to care more for the life which is to come, and there- fore are not so much interested in the goods of this life. certainly should be the last to seek to accumulate richés at the expense of others, and the first to see the unchristianity of compellin, others to pay their bills for them, thereby of- fending directly the principle laid down by their master and law-giver, namely: ‘Do unto others as you would others should do unto you.” That isthe sentiment if- not the exact words. With the same, and I might say even more right, our brethren, the Masons, Odd Fellows, and other charitable societies could claim that their tem- les, their halls, should be tax free, and the urden be borne by others, as they are practical Christians, providing as they do for widows and ly on orphans. and relying mere! their own re- sources and means, raised among themselves without soliciting the help and contribution of others, as some of the church organizations do, to support their hospitals, infant. asylums, etc., whereby im fact the public provides the means and they have the absolute control. But what would be said of the benevolent associations should they make such a demand of our Chris- tian brethren? If a number of persons, say forty or fifty, under the lead of a new reformer, concluded to start a new society and erect a building, called church, for the purpose of car- rying on’ therein their ‘own peculiar perfor ances, be they religious or oth should they not pay their own expenses bear their own burdens as othersdo, and how in the name of Christianity can they bring it in harmony with their consciences to compel others to pay the bill for their peculiar enjoy- ment.

There was co! ‘ably hogshead of whitewash used in arriving at said conclu- sion. The report, like the board, was colored to suit the cireu ”— Capital. ‘The fire commissioners have come to no such conclusion. There was an investigation by the commissioners not as to any charge of ‘incom- petency displayed at the Michler place fire,” ut as to the delay in calling out the fire depart- ment for that pen gery and the facts were reported to the , who approved the report of their committee. Had there been incom tency in using the means and appliances of the department for extinguishing when the companies did arrive, the entire row would have been destroyed. Such a fire does not go out of itself whether the wind is blowing or not. Asa sufferer by the fire, the editor of the Capital is to be excused if he cannot look at the matter dispassionately As no colored men have any- thing to do with the fire-alarm., the remarks of the Cepifal about color hardly fit the case.

A REPLY TO THE “@UNDAY CHRONICLE.” borate Eprror Stan:—A long piece and elal of ure fiction, evidenth; fe sa some bone unter, to frighten the earners ‘Washing- ton Market seen nd make een Nevard down, appeared in D. 0. Forney’s Sunday Chroni- cle. If the writer had presented one single fact or even accurately rehashed the old and worn out slanders against the market company, which were exposed and nailed as falsehoods by the report of their investigating ‘committee made to the District Legislature August 12th, 1871, he might have claimed immunity for sandwitching in the mass of misrepresentation contained in the article referred to. While reecog>izing the right of an independent press to strive to correct fa sat which injuriously affect their patrons, I deny, in behalf of the market company, all and singular every essential representation contained in this unwarranted and libelous attack upon the directors and managers of the Washington Market company. Al majority of the stockholders, as well as the directors of this company, are not only citizens of Washington, but are among the heaviest taxpayers in the District. Are M.G. Emery, president of the Washington Market company, T. C. Connolly, Hallet Kilbourn, Moses Kelly, R. B. Clark, Hagh Doyle, Caleb Cushing, W. E. Chandler and 8. 8. Smoot. rectors, strangers to the citizens of Washing- ton? Are they men who would be likely to per- petrate a fraud or over-tax the people who purchase food at the market? In order to an- swer these last questions I have hastily drawn off the figures to show the public the exact financial condition of the company so far as receipts and expenditares on account of rental of the stalls from the new market sheds that were erected after the fire up to the ist of last De cember :—Total amount of rental received from all sources during the year 1x71, $4 Amount of disbursements during the sam Kunning expenses, including gas tax, city or local tax, $6,194.20; paid D: thorities rental imposed by Congress for the support of the poor $22.30, making total cur- rent expenditures $37,105.65. Cost of temporary sheds or market buildings $20,400, making total expenditures during the year 1871 $57,905.65; leaving the rental account of the company in- debted to construction account at the end of the first _year, after deducting total receipts, $15,273.16 To this might be added a special assessment bill for paving Pennsylvani: ‘amounting to sessment has not yi amount of rental Teceived from temporary sheds trom December 31, 1871, to July Ist, 187: when the new buildings were occupied, S1: 114.31. Total amount of rental received for ters of year 1572 up to Decem- ber 31, 1872, $31,192.97—making the total re- ceipts for the year 1872 on account of rental of scalls, wagons, &c., $00,307.28, from which de- duct running expenses, repairs, and gas tax for the year 1872, $15,844.05. City or local tax and water tax, $6,39%. Paid District authorities der act of Congress for support of the poor $::0,000—making a total expenditure, out- side of construction account, $45,242.05, which deducted from the total amount of rental re- ceived. $50,307.28, leaves: 23 to be credited towards paying the $15,273.16 which remained due the construction account on account of building temporary market buildings; or in other words, leaving amount due construction account over and above the receipts for rental for stalls and stands at the end of two years, from the time the market company first collect ed rent, $10,207.93, for which the company had the lumber in the old sheds. It will thus be seen that during this time, and for over two years, the stockholders of the ket company Teceived no dividends. and had actually used 000 of the money paid on the origi- k to give the public and the dealers temporary accommodations by building tem porary structures, after the old market w burned, and instead of having assessed collected one dollar from rental of sta or stands to pay towards the constra tion of the new buildings, the — tot receipts up to the present time, after d ducting rental due the District, local taxes and running expenses, would not reimburse the construction fund for money drawn from it as before stated. The stockholders paid in < cash, when they subscribed for their stock. They then issued co and raised $100,000 mo ne Treasurer las received from bonus on account of sales of stalls and stands up to this time about $34,000, while the market company hasa floating indebted ness which will make the total cash expendi- tures nearly $ 0, ng what is ad mitted by every impartial and led per- son, including strangers from every pact of the country to be the largest and best retail market in the United States, if not in the world. Th market company reluctantly yielded to the District authorities under the recent act of Con- gress the entire front land secured to them by their charter for ninety-nine years. The land thus surrendered to the District authorities would probably produce when fully improved an annual income of $20,000 or $30,000; yet dividing the land upon the basis ot the valuation fixed by the Assessors, the District authorities, under the recent act of Congress, get this entire valuable frontage by allowing the market company about $12,000 year upon their rental, or, what would be the interest on about $150,000; whereas every one acquainted with the vaiue of real estate would value thjs immense frontage of over 500 feet at more than twice that sum. In regard to the transfer of the city’s interest in what is known as the City Hall buildings to the U.S., 1 cannot see that any harm can possibly come to the city, as the gentlemen composing the com- mittee who recently fixe: the valuation of that property, are supposed to be quite as loval and levoted to the present “regime” as the pro: prietor of Forney’s Sunday Chronicle can possibly aspire to be. he statement made in the article referred to, that the roof of the market was ina leaky condition, is equally as false as either of his other assertions. The roofs of the market build- ings are of the mest substantial character, and have never leaked at all since they were built. In the designs for the market, prepared by the architect, in order to give perfect ventilation ventilator windows, working upon iron pivots, were placed in the ventilators of each building. It has been found that during a driving storm, with heavy winds, the rain forces itself througti the spaces which are necessary to allow the win- dows to partially revolve, which canses a drip- ping near the center of the building during these heavy storms. This, however, only occurs during a heavy wind and driving rain storm. In order, however, to obviate this annoyance, double rows of heavy tin spouting are being cut in and placed on the inside of the ventilators, which catch this water and return it through a small aperture to the outside of the roof. This um precaution has been adopted by thecom- pany to avoid all grounds of complaint, and the entire work will be completed ina fewdays. The discreditable and cowardly rehash in regard to the falling of a portion of the 9th street wail a a heavy gale, and before the mortar hal had time to harden, was malicious m the ex- treme, as the writer well knew. If he knew anything about the matter he knew that every icle of the wall that was jarred by that which fell was taken down, and that the whule was rebuilt under the directions of Mr. Diggs, one of the very best builders in the city, and in the most substantial manner; and I here chal- lenge the writer of the article to select any three responsible builders or architects to ex- amine the entire market stracture, and if they do not pronounce it one of the best and most substantially-built buildings of this class in the United States, I will publicly, in the newspapers, acknowledge the correctness of his statements. If = do report these buildings of the most substantial character as I have be- fore stated. commo:. ecency should require the writer to aj to the entire community as well as to the Marketoompany for his gross and unwarranted misrepresentations. The market company are anxious to secure a reduction of the rental on the stalls and stands in the mir- ket just as fast as they cando so and pay the city fer the support of the poor, the local tax-s. and running expenses, and sccure 8 or 10 per cent. on the amount actually invested in th. se market buildin, ‘0 G.i who complied with the regulations of the company and paid their quarterly rental in advance at the commence- ment of the present quarter, the market com- pany made a reduction of 10 per cent., and hope as soon as the stalls are nearly all permanently occupied, to be able to make a still further re- dui . The —— rental, as fixed by the District authorities and the market company under the law of Congress, is much less than in almost any of the large cities in this country, and I bse tl a it homong mae Gotning to oe ie, would pay the market dealers when thar bills fall due, or at least tly as the poor lal ; qaiiiet woken ace In conclusion, I denre to say that as th ket com) ae Fia eae al is seasoned with lots ot will be given this fore purchasing.
