DO the New foEk poutlcal RACKS th1nk
That this war is to be "jobbed OUT and
taken On contract? It would seem SO. !
They appear anxious for chance to bid |
for it rs if i! were mail service. On the
10Th day Of april, A. D. 1881, the Baiti- |
more mob closed the avenue from the !
Northeast t. Washington. On the 25th Of |
that month a New Yorker, yclept George
Law, hitherto unheard Of as statesman
or military man, and principally known
outside Of the city Of New York by his
irtefest in steamship lines aud his success
in plundering the city Of landed property,
made bid to the people for the job of
opening that route. In q letter which that
usu1per Of the Battery had the impudcnce

States be said:

tspoe take measures to open and establish those
Itres Of communication, and that they protect and
Preserve them from any further interruption.

him the job, we may be sure it would not
have been done any cheaper.
Another great New York contractor has
co1ne forward since the defeat at Bull Run,
and has kindly, though more modestly:
offered to relieve the Government OF the
war. Of course We allude to that second
