TIE WASHINGTON ELECTION.

The moral and political effect of the overthrow of know
uohngsm in the federal capital cannot be measured by
the OF local wishes it may crafty the degree
local interests it may promote. We highly gratfed
il true that city at last rid OF the burden and dis
grace under which it has rested for the last two years
that there end at length to the of violence and
ruanism TO the acts Of folly, extravaganza and nso-
lent OPPRESSION which have generally, If not always,
marked the of the proscrptonsts" when in mo-
mcnt of popular delusion they have been mady clothed
with power and authority But the effect of last Monday
gratifying triumph will be felt far beyond the narrow
boundaries of city, When the odious and proscrip
tive doctrines OF knownothingsm first announced,
and when, in spirit of insane emulation, State after
State wildly and unthnkingy embraced the heresy,
the city of Washington became conspicuous before the
country for its early and fanatieal support of principles
which incompatible with sound morality and pure
religion with the existence of civil and religious free
DOM and with the peace prosperity, and happiness of
any community affecting to be civilized protesting
be intelligent When know-nothingism in Washington
was invested by deluded constituency with municipal
power the fact beralded from extent of the Union
the other not mere local occurrence ora local r-
umph but most significant Hsign of the times preg-
with national meaning proud evidence Of the then
setting current OF popular sentiment and popular action
We did not and do not undervalue the Importance attach
ed to the of knownothingsm in this city, when
this political disease first manifested ITSELF We believe
that the example of Washington exercised influence
widespread it was dangerously mischevous; and
further believe that the great political reaction which
has taken place in city will ultimately accomplish
good than evil was produced by her former folly The
fruits this reaction could not have been produced at
auspcious What fitting time for the
political regeneration of the national capital than the
day when the national council Of the national democracy

THE ADMINISTRATION.

The Banner of Liberty, published Middletown New
York, has secured wide circulation in the southern
Shtes-no less for the eminenty national which it
has consistently pursued than for the marked ability Of
s elaborate editorials the leading political topics of
The day In late number of the Banner in the course Of
article the national party and its candidates, we
find the following manly defence Of the present admins
Eauon
Firstly, notice the attempts OF Heterogeneous
foes 70 disored upon the present incumbent OF the pres
dency Of the United States who was but four years SINCE
elected to that high Office by such overwhelming MAORI
the electoral votes OF every State in the Union
Vermont Massachusetts, Kentucky, and Tennessee Elect
ed BY such unprecedented majority, sincc the Of
Washngton,) II but natural that the present Executive
should have been unusually embarrassed In the matter ap
pointDen to Office for, while previous administrations bad
perhaps been beset by least ten applicants for every i'm
Portan Office safe to say that the number Of applicants
70 the present admnistra least double that
bsr Therefore, let the appointments have been made in the
most udieious possible II inevitable that nine
teen Of every twenty applicants should be disappointed
Those thus disappointed in many cases. Immediately turned
their attention to abusing every act Of the Executives and
this spirit OF disappointed ambition that enemies
strongly rely In their efforts to render the adminsra
ton unpopular while their ingenuity must fail to
point out single great II has sanctioned upon
which national and true republican patriots cannot cordially
unite Let the reader however much he may have heard
calmly review all It's acts, and he viii find involving
great principle upon which il has swerrcd from the doctrines
q the broadest nationality and the soundest Of civil
and freedom involved strict construction Of the
Constitutional powers Of government That improper
appointments 10 Office may have been made while more meri
oouS applicants have been overlooked, viii not pre-
mne TO ssy bat think ha, all must admit the imposs
Sy avoiding such instances making several thousand
adjustments though the appointing power be endowed
T@ the utmost ssgacity and the puros patriotism. But
after al, the appointments Of individuals to Office arc
matters Infinitely subordinate TO tho maintenance OF great
principles. Our government Offices created as
P1a or political sspirnn and the only deep interest dis
interested patriots feel relative 70 them in seeing that
y are Tiled by trustworthy end faithful public servants
v" confess that this tho Of interest In the
matter and that we have sympathy whatever for dap
pointed ohceseesers, however active efficient partisan
leaders they may have been True patriots should have
nsr motive than mere desire for Office 10 inspire them
% energy and enthusiasm. Furthermore the Office should
e made to seek tho man. rather than the the Office
much case, individual dsappointments cannot occur"

We indebted to correspondent Of the Baltimore Sun
for the following abstract of the annual report Of the pres
dent of the company:
Important improvements suggested last year have, in
whole in part been constructed and all the advantages
contemplated been realized The receipts of the year
amount to Sl35347 those of May are found exceed
The improvements of the past year have rendered
the s6 miles of canal permanent safe and expeditions its
business is attended to with fidelity and perseverance by
competent agents and their assistants The cost of keep
ing the line in order is So IL per mile per annuma far
less rate than is shown in the history of the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad the Washington branch but whal the
of trade has been inadequate to extngush the
rent expenditures and meet the demands of the desires
the bondholders They disposed to complain and at
tribute their delays to other than which really
st Nevertheless the trade of two companies has jus,
been commenced The canal interests must be realized from
the coal regions and in course of time that business must
vastly increase.
"The canal has capacity to transport more than ter
times the amount of coal sent it. The line
was in good order irregularities less frequent; tbs
improvements especially above Georgetown will be val
liable acquisition"
