THE DISTRICT.

The condition of the District Of Columbia is,
in some respects, peculiar. lis citizens have no
political privileges, for it is not State, nor is
It a Territory. 1t has, therefore, no local legis-
lature to take care Of It's interests and to min.
lister to its wants 1t is entirely dependent on
Congress- and Congress is SO much engrossed
by national affairs, that it often loses sight of
interests that would require but short time TO
provide for, and that are highly important TO
the citizens Of the District. Living here at the
capital, and being identified with the commu-
nifty around, we cannot look with Indifference
on any subject that may affect its interests.
1t IL our purpose, from time 10 time, 10 can
attention to such matters rs we deem of public
Importance. The population of the District is
rapidly increasing, and with its increasing pop
ulation, there will be an increased necessity for
the protection and fostering care!of the govern
ment.
We will be glad to hear from our friends here
in regard to any matter of public interest

BALTIMORE AND ONO RAnRoAD.-At a
meeting of the directors on Thursday, the new
freight tariff for the road was adopted II is
understood that no general increase or reduc
zion of rates has been effected by this step, the
principal change being in the assortment or
classification of goods Several other modif-
eat hzE, looking to the mutual advantage of the
conTnny and its customers, were adopted IN
stead OF three classes of articles, as in the old
tariff, there are to be four; and, among other
provisions, we are told Of one that empowers
the president and superintendent with the ex-

tingencies. Ii is thought by those who have
seen the new tariff that its working will prove
