SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS.

The Tnteikgsncer explains that the nature
Of our system is such as to make it impossible
that in all cases the U. s. Government can
enforce the neutrality law against fllibuster
ing, and shows that the President has earned
the thanks of the country, not as the Black.
wood intimates, by conniving at its infraction.
but exerting his authority to its utmost to
put down al fllibustering. The same paper
argues earnestly against the proposed change
of the location of the Government Armory
about to be built 10 this city, from the mall
on the Island, to Judiciary Square. We also
fnd in the Hteiiigsncer an able communica-
ton upon the Water Works question, wherein
the writer says:
"Our magnificent public buildings, which
have cost the Government and the people
more than twenty millions of dollars, are al
ways in jeopardy from the want of proper
means to prevent such a disaster [6rel; and
yet Congress, in fancied security, are hesita-
ting to make an appropriation to prevent such
a disastrous result.
"We are well aware that there are always
at the seat of government certain interested
men who, if they cannot succeed in their own
selfish views, are ready to use their influence
if at the expense of the destruction of the Gov
eminent itself. There are such men now in
Washington, and they have enlisted in their
aid few residents, who, for pay, no doubt,
are endeavOring to poison the minds Of mem
befs against this appropriation These men,
with their coadjutors from abroad, a few years
since, attempted to fOist upon Congress plan
Of their own, asking charter, with capital
of million Of dollars, to carry out their OBJ
ject; and, had they been successful, would
have established monopoly Of such a char
acter as would have not only imposed upon
the Government itself, but would have laid
heavy onerOus burdens upon our citizens
Failing in this object by the wisdom of Con-
gress in the adoption of the present work, they
have made their appearance here every session
since, and, with the aid of their auxiliaries in
our midst, have attempted to defeat any fur
ther appropriation for the continuance Of this
work. Two years ago they were partially
successful, and Congress refused an appro-
priation; the work, consequently, was sus-
pended for the time being. Last session these
same gentry were again at work endeavoring
to secure their ends; but, thanks to the wis
dom and patriotism of Congress, they were
most signally defeated in their object, and
Congress appropriated $3.50, 900 for the fur
Their continuance Of this great work. Not sat
isfed with this expression on the part Of the
last Congress, these same parties are again at
their old tricks trying to defeat this item in
the deficiency bill"
The Union regards Mr.. Stewards assault
upon the President, in his late speech, as the
WsIs raEing- Of despsration and writes down
the bill Of Mr.. S., for the admission of Cali
fornia, as amounting to an effort to smuggle
Kansas into the Union as a State
