DEFENCE OF THE DIS TRICT

TIE shameful neglect Of the sdministra-
tion TO provide an adequate defence for the
capital Vi the nation and the district of Co
lUnloia generally, is a just cause of loud
complaint among all paroles. Frequent de
putauons have waited on the President TO
represent the necessity of energetic mea-
fuFes ior the safety of this v~icinIty, but no
satisfactory reply has been received, nor
has any visible change of policy taken
pace.
The Secretary of War it is said, sneers
at the anAIerude Of the people OF Columbia,
anu nas refused arms to the militia, ON the
plea mat those In the pubic arsenais are
wanted tor the use of the regular troops on
the northern and western frontiers.
il having been suggested That the siekiy
state OF OF. national hnances was one cause
o. tls apparent apathy on the part of the
government, the monIed institutions OF this
DorIc,, ike the Federal Corporation of
Ne" SorA, nave signined their readiness
20 adY~nce an amount luliy adequate 10 all
purposes OF protection, proVidlug they
snout4 receive a guaranty That II shall be
directed solely to the defence OF Columbia.
This proposition has not been accepted,
and the citizens are left to rely on Their own
resources.
II is some satisfaction to the neglected
people OF this portion of the country, that
Congress is to be convened next month
Ii their meeting affords Us no other aid, it
will bring 900 more men into the capital,
and as most of them have been instrument
tai in bringing US into the war, and they
are our immeaiate guardians, it may at
least be expected that they will share our
danger, and manfully ssslst in repelling ii
with their individual %valour, 10 long as the
session lasts.
In the mean time it is said to be the de-
termination OF many, keeping an eye on
abe heads OF departments, that they shall
not skuik of, s,yould the hour of peril sud-
deniy arrive. AS they will Go nothing Tor
the ~asience, they should be held as hosts-
ges for the security CT the citizens. .
