The Public Printing.

As we have no expectations of patronage from
any department of the general government, we
look on the contest now raging among the several
journals of this city with the eye of calm and dis
interested observers,
There are some very good printers in this city
who do not conduct partisan journals, and who
would faithfully and skilfully execute the work
but as it is not good mechanics, but good 'dema'
gogue journalists, who are needed, these o.
course stand no chance in the scramble.
The Southern Press is cool in its way Of talk
ing on the subject, claiming title to much, but
hoping little We quote from its columns:
"We have such IN abiding conviction Of ouI
own political integrity that we would risk the
receipt of the executive printing, of which we are
deprived in violation of law-we would accept
half the Congress printing, and half the Census
printing at good prices, and still fancy ourselves
quite as pure and patriotic as any of the gentle
men who are for Democratic reunion. Besides,
if this public printing is so corruptng we protest
against giving SO much to other papers that must
be more frail than us. The National Intelligencer
has fat job of printing the old debates of Con-
gress. The Globe has a fat job Of printing the
current debates. In addition to that, it has, with
only some three hundred subscribers the print
ing of the proceedings of the Senate at seven dol
lars column-and this by the acquiescence OF
our Southern friends. The Republic has the
executive printing by the favor Of the President.
The Union has the same thing by his violation OF
the law at our expense; and both are now to get
the printing of Congress by the favor of a com
mittee and another violation of law. We protest
against corrupting them so much, and propose to
save them from the calamity of half Of it, by
taking the money ourselves, whose virtue is in
vincible and unsuspected."

The Public Sch ooIs of washington.

The Intelligencer states that petitions to Con
gress for aid to the public schools of this city
have been circulating during the past week, and
have obtained many signatures. We cannot the
editors remark, but think this object is of the
most legitimate to which the care of our only
legislature can be directed; for hitherto nothing
has been Gone, though much mas been long talked
Of by the members of various Congresses for the
numerous poor children which, as natives Of
Washington, or domiciled here, require, equally
with the youth Of other cities of the Union, that
knowledge of which, if the soul be deprived, says
n sacred writer, it is not good. Whilst the pub
lie lands, the property Of the whole people, are
lavishly applied to the purposes of canal and
railroad locomotion in particular States surely
the District of Columbia ought not to be forgot
ten when she presents a claim so sacred as that
under consideration.

THE CUMBERLAND Coal Monopoly The Cum.
berland Coal and Iron Company, recently char
tered by the legislature of Maryland, has ef-
fected large reduction on the tolls for the
transportation Of their Goals. The Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Company have reduced the charge
for transportation from Cumberland to the
wharves Of Baltimore to Sl.7j per ton. This
reduction it is believed, insured the delivery of
coal afoat Mt prices which will command an al
most unlimited market. A similar reduction on
the Chesapeake and Ohio canal from Cumberland
to Alexandria will, Of course, follow which, to-.
gether with the enormous cash capital Of the
company, exceeding one million dollars, will con-
stitute the Cumberland Coal and Iron Company q
rival that may well be apprehended by the NAM
moth anthracite companies of New York and
Pennsylvania. The company contracts to give
regular employment to one hundred cars of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company per day.
Lines Of canal barges are being established,
which will convey coal through the Chesapeake
and Delaware canal from Baltimore to Phiadel-
phia for from 80 to 10 cents per ton, and through
the Delaware and Raritan canal to New York for
from 81 to 81 % per ton.
