The Democratic press Of Washington, has Ia
bored hard to convince the people Of the District
and Of the country, that the majority Of these out
RACES have been committed by members Of the
AnierirGss party and we should not be astonished
If this last act Of vilainous outrage against the
property Of On American company, is heralded
forth to the world as the act and deed of members
of that company. Such is, and ever has been, the
policy Of the Democratic party, even in its more
palmy days, and we cannot and do rot expect
anything from the present sham organization, who
have, in the name Of Democracy, perpetrated more
wrongs and outrages against the people, cheating
them Of their rights at the ballot box, squandering
their money, and by fraud, peculation and bare
faced robbery, putting into their own pockets more
than twenty millions Of the money paid into the
Treasury by che people Of the country, in the short
space of one year. We expect nothing but wrong
and outrage from this quarter, and we have re-
ceved nothing but outrage and wrong from the
Democratic city government, which was inauga-
rated BY deeds Of blood, and which would perpetu-
ate the reign Of terror" which was begun on the
first of June last, the to be forgotten day Of
blood, well christened Bloody Monday" by a
member of the party which perpe:rated the cold.
blooded murders on that evcntful day.
We had, hoped, we say, that this combination Of
wickedness, had left the City of Washington, or
rather that the members composing it. had gone
to parts unknown, in view of the punish nent Ger,
tain to be visited upon them at the hands Of the
President-the city administration failing or ne.
gecting, orincompeteht toperform its duty in this
respect--but it seems the snake is ouly scotched,
not killed. II Is true, that for weeks past, our
city has been comparatively orderly and quiet and
great pains have been taken to spread far anil wide
the news, that Washington City was rid of the
pestilentia presence Of an organization which had
rendereda residence here dangerous to limb and
life, and which might prevent many from locating
themselves here, or even becoming residents during
the session of Congress. This would have been
injurious to the interests of the city, and as mod.
ern Democrats are incapable of doing anything
prejudical 10 their interests, they, of course gave
credit to the Mayor for his indehtgab,e Industry
and untirng zeal in Kidding the city of the pesti-
lence. So much for selfinterest. As to tho rest,
we know that the disease is Mt eradicated--th
the destructive element is still here, and in proof
we offer the transactions Of Saturday night. p.
