In this connection I invite at- tention to the recommendation of changing the character of the pavemest on this ave- nue. The railroad company are walting only for notification to remove their track.’ NOT THANKFUL. Mr. F. A. Boswell remarked that the citi- zensouzht doubtless tobe very thankful for the notice vouchsafed by the ‘authorities to their petition, but he for one saw very little @s yet to be thankful for. They are told that the railroad company may at some fatare time replace the old depot near 9th street With a better building. ere Was nothing in this to be thankful for, as the evils com- plained of were still existing. As for him- self he intended to sue the road for damages, and see What virtue there is in the courts. GOING TO Law. Mr. W. C. Bamberger said he protested ainst accepting any such arrangements as are set forts in this reply. This company are now maintaining their cattle, sheep and | hog-pens in front of his door, which are filled nightly with half-starved animais, bellow- ing. bleating and squealing; they also have their four tracks laid, upon whieh are trains loading and unloading. He insisted to know from the authorities by what right the com- pany are allowed to have more than two tra on this avenue, contrary to the terms Of its charter and the laws of this District. He cited the net of Congress approved April 6, 1870, showing that the public streets anid avenues of this city cannot be used for pri- vate purposes. to the injury of private prop- erty of others; also, the act the District legislature approved Jane. 1571, prohibiting the granting to any corporation the priv of blockading the streets and avenue | the only way left seems to be to bring action in the courts for damages and memorializiog Congréss to give relief. Ail that le asked Was protection under the laws. Mr. Boswell stated that business on Vir- ginia avenue had been destroyed. He al- juded to the recent published statements in the city press wherein ithad been male to appear that the railroad company would be made to park in their tracks, and said noth- ing so far indicated anything of the sort. He contended that neither the chief engin’ nor Listriet Commissioners have any rig to compromise the interests of the citi With this or any other road. It looks as if Mr. Hoxie had unwillingly sold oat to this rompany. Mr. Bamberger said he could sometimes count fifty cars standing on the four tracks and across street crossings. Mr. Crown asked how it was that the Commissioners have the right to give this company the privilege to lay down more than two tracks. Now is the proper time to apply foran injanetion against the laying of more than two tracks. diev.

The draft was paid and the amount credited by the bank to the First National Bank of Washington, which shortly afterwards failed. owing the Georgetown bank a sum greater than the amount which stood at its erediton the note. The Philadelphia bank @emandei of the Georgetown bank the cash or the return of the draft. The George- town bank refused, contending that they had dealt with the First Nationa! Bank of Wash- ington only, and that this credit was one of the debtor and creditor items between them. The Philadelphia bank thereupon brought rn aetion of trover forthe amount. N. Wil- Soa appeared for the plaintiff, ard C. M. Ma.thews for the defendant. The cour: held that the First National Bank wa; merely tne agent of the Philadelphia bank tn the transaction, and gave judgment for the Phil- adelpbia bank in the full amount claime 1 with interes ——_e—__ Tre PoLice COMMISSIONERS, at their meeting yesierday, appointed John Talling ap additional private for duty at the Wash- ington Schuetzen Park for six months.

Mr. Boswell moved that the citizens form at once a protective association, to collect money to carry on a suit agaiust the road; adopted Hon. Joseph Segar said he knew trom hard experience what it was to be annoyed and oppressed by this unauthorized, lawless, and heartless corporation, with its unscrupulous and tyrannical agents and employes,who are imposing upon the citizens without the slightest authority oflaw. He was ready to join with the property-holders to rid them - selves of this oppression by resisting in every way its encroachments upon their natural rights. He had been told recently by a re- spectable colored man living on Virginia avenue, that his house had been shattered and rendered almost untenantable by the jarring of the cars; the sisters of the Catholic school on the same avenue, near7th street, | were complaining of the constant nuisance and interruption to the exercises of study. | From his own door he could see every morn- | ing, trains of cars stretched out across 7th | an 4 streets. rema‘~'ng there as long as suited the convenience of the employes of the road, to back and fill,while vehicles were Waiting their pleasure to Ti six carts and vehicles blocked up for some time, unable = for the backing and fill- | ‘his is all illegal, and this | ing nuisance. overbearing monopoly must and shall be made to feel that THE CITIZENS HAVE RIGHTS, The laws of the land everywhere the world over prohibit the blocking up of highway! He had lived to upwards of seventy years, had witnessed many oppressions laid” upon man, but he would swear upon the Holy Evangely of Almighty God that he had never | seen any oppression so abominable as this | one. [Applause.) The ition submitted in the reply of the District Commissioners does not go down to the root of the evil. Enough had already been seen of the illegai | | grand Pennsylvania rail- | read monopoly to show that it would be idle acts of Tom Scott's to accept it. To trust any set of railroad men who have been unfaithful to their obli- gations Is the sheerest nonsense. He cited the laws of the District Legislature, which —— that this road shall not obstruct the ighways at any time longer than sufficient | to land passengers. The only relief to be had is in the Congress of the United States, and it is vain toexpect from the small authori- ties like the Police Court or the District entherities. Let the citizens represent their grievances to Congress, which has anluekily «ranted this road the power to drive the peo- ple from their homes. THANKS TO THE DISTRICT COMMISSIONFRS. Mr. Boswell called the attention of tne meeting to the fact that Gen. Ketcham was totally opposed to the Baltimore and Poto- mac railroad coming into their streets at all. He was thankful to the Commissioners and Lieut. Hoxie for the courtesy shown the citi- zeus in this matter, buthe was not willing to accept the proposition submitted in the reply. They must raise money to meet this | issue with the road in the courts and the only | Way is to organize for a remedy. Lieut. Hoxie has no power to compromise tne right of the people. [Applause.}) He moved that & vote of thanks be returned to the Commis- sioners, and that they be informed that the people dissent from the arrangement made with the road. Messrs. Bamberger and Bacon here stated that both Commissioners Keteham and Phelps had expressed themselves in sympa- thy with the citizens in this matter, and had proved themselves to be gentlemen through- out their intercourse in this matter. Mr. Segar reminded the meeting that they have iriends in Congress, and in view of an appeal to that body as the only sure means oi relief, he submitted A RESOLUTION That a committee be appointed to make examination of the facts which are the basis of the many and extraordinary grievances and wrongs we are enduring at the hands of the managers of the Baltimore and Potomac Ratlroad Cempany and that the facts, when collected, be ag ay ina ——— to Con- gress, praying for a in present route of ine Baltimore and Potomac road, as = Cod certain and effective measure of relief.

A —- to-day of 1, For some t!me past there Nave been inti-. mars in of which are given by thai, paper this morning as follows: “During the afternoon, yesterday, onr busi- | report says: | mitteent compositors trom Gar meee oe ~ ™ of com) rom our news rooms, tendent who stated that they bad heard that severai compositors had been employed to work in Chricle office on terms different from the those established by the ‘ical Unton of this district, ana pes it They were informed maie arrange- ments to Noy keveral compositors to work. in the Without regard to the rules of the Union, but that it was not their inten- on to make any change for the present in the newspa) office; that if such a conctu- id be arrived at, sufficient notice make arrangements for employment else- where. The committee reti: and in ashort time returned with the information that the whole force had decided tostop work; and ac- cordingly retired persuading our apprentic 5 to go with them. It being a free country, in our opinion they bad a perfect legal rightto doas they did, and that as employers the proprietors have an equally clear right to hire others to take their places, which we are doing as rapidly as the suddenness of the emergency will per- mit. And we are gritifie! in being able to state that through courtesy of our neigh- bors, our embarrassment has been vreatly diminished, for which our sincere thanks are tendered. It is due to the proprietors of the Chronicle to state that the compositers who have r- tired from their cases as above ceseribed, had been promptly paid their wages according to the rules of the Union, including bills up 'o last Sunday morning; that no additional bills were due when they took their leave of absence; that no personal difficulties existed between these retiring compositors and their employers; and that no compositor or other loyee.’ outside of the Typographical n had at the time been pnt into the It is just to these gentlemen, how- ever, to say that they were informed that the Proprietors intended to run the jab office without reference to the rules of the Union from this date forward, and ultimately to put the news office under the same management; but of the exeeution of the latter pur the roprietors would feel in honor bound to give Them sufficient notice to make other arrange- ments should they then decide to sever their connection with the office. They, however, decided to stop work at once. This we think was adiscourtesy which fair dealing between man and man does not justify. But we do not call in question their lezal right to do so. and part with them withort any unkind feelings; and are ready to pay them fo. the fraction of a week they have served sinee the last settlement as soon as the bills can be properly made out, which they are requested to return and receive, and then depart in peace, and take with them the best wishes of the stockholders of the CMronicle company for their future prosperity.” A meeting of the Union was called for yes- terday afternoon at 5 o'clock at the Colum. bia Law Buildings, and at that hour so great acrowd had gathered that it was determined to seek other quarters. Accordingly, Old Fellows’ Hall was engaged and over 500 zath- ered and went into seeret session for about two hours. The action has not yet been made public. During last evening a number of typos, anxious to know how the Chronicle was mak- ing out, gathered about the office, police. at the request of the proprietor kept them from gathering in too dense a crowd to interfere with the work of getting out the paper. There were no symptoms, however, of any disorler, or of vindictive feeling on either side. — SFNT TO ALBANY PENITENTIAR following prisoners left the jail last Albany penitentiary in eharge of ¢ Croeker:—Wm.
