The IstsHigsnesT considers the metropolitan
Police bill" for the city too expensive, and ex-
presses the hope that the friends of the District in
Congress, will protect the people from the opera
tioG Of a measure which instead Of tending to
Increase order and peace, will have a contrary
effect.
The R'pwbtean says OF the Ordinances Of
Louisiana and Mississippi, that they have never
been ratified by the people, and those who are to
conduct this Government neither should nor will
act upon any other theory than that Of the return,
at any early day, Of all sections of the country to
The old condition of harmony and union.
