The Misses Collins.

The Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore Patriot thus writes of these
ladies, who give concert in this city on
tomorrow exening:
The Misses Collins, two English sisters, who
have given two or three concerts in this city,
are about to have n complimentary benefit
rendered to them by subscription. on the part
of the citizens of this District. They deserve
bumper. as the theatre going phrase is -
One OF them is vocalist and sings with
great taste. modesty and sweetness of voice
The other, Miss Rosina, who is more beautiful
than either Of the foreign songstresses who
have recently visited this country, plays the
violin with more grace, sweetness OF sound
and thrilling effect than Ole Bull, Master
Burke, or the renowned Wallace. If these
worthy ladies should come to Baltimore and
give concerts there. let me hope they will have
such reception as their superior talents
merit The press has not heralded them; but
it will, voluntarily, whom its conductors shall
hsve heard them give a concert"

In 1872, there were over 5000 buildings
erected in New York, 2,440 in BROOKLYN,
and about 400 in Williamsburg, covering
about 100 acres of ground. Upon this data
in less than twenty years the whole of shore of
New York and of the cities of Brooklyn and
Williamsburg will be covered with a dense
mass of buildings, from the eastern to the
western limits and from the Battery to the
Harlem River. There is an area of 900 acres
in the city Of New York which has been set
aside for public parks, and there arc about
1000 acres which cannot be used for street
purposes. For the last sixty years the popula-
ton of New York has doubled once in every
fifteen years, and Williamsburg once in two
and a half years.

The Contract System for Furnishing Gov
eminent Supplies

Judging from signs which we have
lately seen making against the system of
letting out contracts for Government sup
plies of all descriptions to the lowest bid
der, we fear that the immense surplus
now in the Golfers of the nation is about
to generate a strong combination of par
ties interested in bringing the Govern
ment back to the exploded system of Civ
ing out jobs at the prices asked by favor
ties, without subjecting them to cOmpe-
tition. The Treasury has been robbed of
millions on millions in this way, until
public opinion compelled change. Sub
sequently, the favored ones have, on more
than one occasion, induced faithless pub
lie officers to mal-administer the contract
system. But, at present, there is every
prospect that it will be rigidly carried
out, not only according to its letter, but
in its true spirit: care being taken to give
all possible information to all desiring to
hid for Government work, or for furnish
ing Government supplies, and also to see
that all contracts are rigidly complied
with. or the penalties infexibly forfeited.
The fact that it is well known in Wash
ington that such is hereafter to be the
course pursued by those administering
the various bureaus-under certain for
fixture Of their places on failure to do so
We take it, alone superinduces some of the
attacks on the contract system, with the
principle of which no one is sufficiently
tooi-hardy to find fault; the directors con-
tenting themselves with homilies on its
prostitution, in almost all cases, perpe-
trated, too, for their own especial benefit.
They set UP plea, further, that the con-
tract system is injurious to those in pub
lie employment, whom the Government is
bound to support and sustain. This is
S1inctHng new under the sun. While
we are clearly for having the Government
build and equip their own ships, in all
their ports, and construct their own
arms, we should like to ascertain what
law, or what clause in the Constitution
or what right reading of the powers and
duties Of the Government of the United
States binds it to support and sustain any
particular class Or set Of business men,
or workmen
The duty is to furnish employment only
IS us wants require the services of en-
pl0yccS, caring with as much solicitude
for Tie business man OF the country, with
whom it does not deal directly, as with
him 20 whom it pays wages or profits in
person. We are progressing famouslv,
indeed, when the doctrine of the French
Socialist that the Government must sus-
tain and support particular sets of able
bodied men Is urged upon us for the ben
eft Of seekers after fat jobs from the
National Treasury, under the pretence
that the fair and open competition of the
lowest bid in furnishing supplies is inju-
rious to the public interest ! Ii is well
understood that the especial favors" in
terest IS Young American to the back

to see even that interest essaying such a
step forward. 1t is, indeed, bold leap
