Picture of the Administration by Demo.
crat

The only able Democratic paper in The District
of Columbia is the Washington States. The
States is conducted with good deal OF talent and
II very fair share of Independence 1t not unfre-
quenly has the political and moral courage to
speak right out what it thinks and knows. We
take from its columns tho following imperfect yet
true and graphic sketch Of the Buchanan Admin
istration. All the rest Of tho intelligent Demo-
cratic organs think Of the Administration exactly
the States does, yet more than nineteen
twenleths Of them are afraid to say it, and they
and the masses Of their slayish party go on eulo-
gizing the Administration and giving it their ut
most support:
He found a redundant Treasnry-he squander-
ed the surplus, and is now clamorous for an in
crea,e OF taxation to supply an unaccountabe do
fciency. The necessities of the government de-
mand economy of expenditure; the estimates
hard upon n hundred million. The people were
induced to anticipate return to the simplicity
and purity Of earlier days; never did corruption
exhibit such rank luxuriance Of growth in
every department of the public service. They
promised reforn-they have an aggrn vation
Of abuse, They expected retrenchment--they
are insulted by proposals for the most absurd and
mischievous appropriations. Millions have been
expended for the suppression Of Murmunism, and
the abomination hourishes with undmDshel Vi
gor and more audacious ambition Much pro-
fesson of fidelity to State rights was ndulsed by
the Administration, and its pledges re-
deemsd by the protective tariffs aud Pacific rail-
r ,ads.
The country was instructed to rejoicc over the
remuneration Of the right Of search by Great Brit
ain. and. in the midst of the triumph, American
ships are boarded in American waters, and sub
jocted to every species of indignity. Tho Presi-
dent declared resolution tn insist upon the re-
peal of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty: he now demands
its rerpetuation, and in aggravatioo Of its evil
agency has negotiated a convention which admits
England to an equality of prviegs and power in
Central America. As the embodiment Of the
Cincinnati platform. he stands committed before
the world to maintain tho ascendency Of the Uni
ted States in the Mexican Gulf, and to assert an
exclusive proteatorate over the Isthmus trsnsits.
He ful6ls the o liya,i'n by abandoning bn h Mex
leo and the lHhnus to the unchecked control of
Eurcpela arnis al diplomacy.

Benefits OF Drought on tho Soil.

Railroad Misma Management

On, great cause of tho failure and bankruptcy
vt No many Railroad Companies consists in the
inexperence and ineffciency Of those to whom
their management is entrusted A man may be
asuccessful merchant or skillful banker, and
yet be profoundly ignorant Of tho proper mode Of
operating a railroad. The management of the
railway and it's finances should not be con6ded u
the same hands To superintend the operating
of road after Ii ia built, requires very
different sort of talent and experience from
that which relates to the keeping nf lcdg-
els or handling the dollars and cent. No
man can be practical and successful railroad
mnnager unless he has served regular appren.
ticeship to tho business. any more than he could
do tho work Of n machinist or printer without u
previous knowledge of the 'art and mystery" of
their details.
Tho best Railroad men in tho world are those
who. beginning as traokmen, havc come up regu-
lnrly through all tho gradations, to positions of
trust and responsibility. The success OF any Rail-
road must depend upon the fitness Of those who
arc entrusted with its running operations. These
must be what ARE generally denominated rail
road mon" from trnckman to superintcndant.--
No person who does not understand navigation
undertakes the command ofa ship. and upon the
same principle we would exclude NIL persons
from the Snperntcndency of Railroad who have
Ind no previous knowledge of the proper mode Of
operntingit. Your Bank Presidents might just
rs well be entrusted with the command Of our
mercantile marine, M to assume control Of our
Railroads And We doubt not. TINT Stockholders.
ere they hnvc lost many millions more by such
folly rs this, will insist upon entrusting their in
tcrests to the management Of practical s,nd expe-
rienced men. Why shoull there bo any cxcep-
ton to this rule at ally IL is IA rule not departed
from in any other department Of entcrprize or in
dnsiry, especially whore interests of great magni-
tude are ut stake.

The Convict Prisoners Of England.

According TO recent Official report there were
In the Pentonxille Penitentiary during the past
year. daily average Of five hundred and eight
prisoners, and for the Same period there were
nine hundred and forty-nne reports for miscon-
Duct and Ave hundred and eight for punishment.
The expenditure for the year was httecn Thousand
two hundred and and ninety-fve pounds, less the
earnings by the labor Of the prisoners, namely.
'hree thousand six hundred and ninety-nine
pounds. At Parkhurst and Milbank, Brixton
and Portland, the proportionate results were SIM
liar, except at Portland the working OF which In
sttution 10 peculiar, the nature OF tho employ
mont Of the prisoners has consisted In quarrying
and sending stone to the brenkwater for tho Admi-
rality departments or oxcavating and romoving
earth for the Notifications and other works at the
Verm Hill for the Ordnance department. and the
prison works aud repairs. The total value Of the
prisoners labor of all classes during the year has
been calculated at forty thousand one hundred
aud twenty pounds four shillings and one penny.
The average daily number Of prisoners whose la
Dor has not becn available has been two hundred,
or less than onc-scventh OF tho whole number
The rate per man OF the total value Of the labor
has been nearly twenty-seven pounds one shilling
and ono penny, The expenditure Of the prison
during tho year has amounted to ffty-scven thou
sand two hundred and thir.y-nine pounds four
teen shillings and seven pence. This includes q
sum Of six thousand one hundred and ninety-nine
pounds fifteen shllings and three pence expended
Lecn discharged on license; and Is reduced by
sundry receipts and value OF productive labor TO
fftyty.fve thousand eighty hundred and forty-two
pounds eight sbilngs and eight pence. Although
the conduct Of the prisoners generally has been
cond. there has been IN increase in the whole
number of puuishmcnts. and in the offences Of
more serious description, IA compared with the
previous year. This is chiefly attributable to the
increasing proportion of tho number OF prisoners
under sentence of penal scrvitude, among whom
there has been much discomfort, which at one
time broke out into open insubordnati among
limited number of the class of prisoncrs'nll udcd
to, rendering necessary the prompt and severe
punishment Of sevcral of the ringeaders. The
example Ind snlutnry effect aud there was no
repetition of the nsubordination. The daily ave-
number Of offences hns been less than two an
average number OF fourteen hundred and eighty
three prisoners being about one offence daily for
every seven hundred and forty.one men. The in
dustry Of the body Of prisoners has been generally
satisfactory. 1t should be added that the Port
land stone is regarded as the most beautiful and
available material for building produced at amy Of
the quarries in England st. Pauls Cathedral is
constructed of this stone.

Hon. John M. Bolts.

In speaking Of tho eminent names before the
country from which is to bc selected standard
bearer f,r the Union party in 1860, the Baltimore
Clprcr pays the following nerited compliment to
NJ. Bolts:
Among them there is a.s who hus for years
occupied prominent position in the councils Of
the nation, and who has by his high-soulcd and
consistent course in politics, attracted To himself
the admiration, If not the gratitude OF the people.
The grand and emincntly patriotic sentiment, II
know no North, no South. no East, no West--I
know only my country, my whole country. and
nothing but my country" has been attributed by
some to Henry Clay. by others to Daniet Web
ster but it's real author was John Minor Bolts, of
Virginia. Mr.. Bolts has made for his country q
record to which the whole nntion mny poini with
pr.dc. lie has followed closely in the footacpsor
stood by tho side Of that illustrious, statesman,
Henry Clay. Mr.. Cay's record nnd Bolts record
are the same. Polished in oil the accomplish
mens Of social intercc urse, welding that power
of oratory which, like mighty instrument vibra-
ting through all its strings to the masters hand,
calls response to each accent from every bosom,
n profound and comprehensive, and, aboye all,
patriotic statesman, and one whose public career
has proved that neither the nlleurements Of pre-
fermcnt "r Of profit could seduce him from the
path of strictest rectitude. John Minor Bolts
stands now pre.emnent among this people, as
candidate around whom the true patriots and
conservative men Of the North and the South may
rally with confidence in their candidate and an
assurance Of his success"
A SroRY OF WAyERLoo.--The follwing story per-
tanning to the battle of ofWnterlootold by Whelm,in
his recent history Of France, published hy the
Blackwoods, the author guarantees to be authen-
tic:
1T was on Sunday, and while the church bells
of England were calling the people to prayer, the
cannonade commenced. Everybody WINS in cxpcc-
tation of bat.lo. 1t was known in England that
Napoleon had crossed into the Netherlands, and
TINT Wellington was ready to meet him. News
was slow in coming, and peoples hearts were sick
with the expectation of the next mail 1t chanced
that between the services on that eventtnl Sun
day. a clergyman in Kent walking in his
garden. Hfs gardener was an old soldier, who
had fought in Spain. He said: 'Thore is fight
going on sir, somewhere, for ! remember when
We were in the peninsular we always knew when
a connonade was going on. wherever it might be,
by crumbling of fresh mold He took n spade
aud dug dowu single foot and along the smooth

enough Before the next Sunday camo aruund,
the news had spread from end to end of oil the
