the same impediments to public traffic exist.
For these the Street Department is entirely to
blame. 1t has allowed the contractors to exc
cute the work to suit themselves, and they only
put men ON II when they can get them on their
own terms; and, the further to consult their
own convenience, they block up the thorough
fares against public traffic at particular spots.
instead Of doing the work by instalments, and
so leaving one side of the road free for car
riages. This is not the way in which the con-
tracts Of great city like this should be exc
cuted. The public convenience should be
made paramount to all other considerations.
Let the officials 10 the Street Department see to
1t that the contractors do their duty, or they
will be made 10 feel the consequences Of thus
trifing with the public interests. This Is an
era Of sweeping reforms, and officials who are
wise will anticipate tho necessity Of an over
hauling.

The Late Eiections-Ths Impending
Presidential Campaign.

The elections of 1868 throughout the loyal
States, from New Hampshire, In March, to New
York and others, closing up with Maryland, In
November, have all gone in the same direction,
upon the same grand idea, and for the same
purpose-the suppression Of the rebellion by
force Of arms. All attempts Of scheming poll
ticians in any State to create a diversion by
petty local questions aud side issues have sig
nally failed From Maine to California there
has been clean sweep, including even the dis
tant Territories locked up among the Rocky
Mountains and the Sierra Nevada. They have,
we may say, unanimously and emphatically
States and Territories, joined In the same de-
cree for the war, and generous support Of the
administration charged with the prosecution OF
the war
We may now begin to take our soundIngs
for the Presidential campaign, aud for the most
exciting, important aud momentous political
struggle IN the history Of the country. By the
elections OF 1868, In connection with those of
1862, the proper course Of President Lincoln
is broadly and clearly defined. Last year the
people pronounced against that radical abolition
policy which would make the restoration Of
the Union dependent upon the extinction Of
Southern slavery. This year the people have
as decisively pronounced against the dsmoraliz-
ing copperhcad faction, which would purchase
peace at the price OF degrading and ruinous
submission TO Jcn Davis. The people, adhsring
TO the war for the Union, have rejected both
these disturbing factions, and II Is the duty and
the only safe policy Of the President to fol-
low these unmistakable manifestations Of pub
lie opinion. The day Is approaching when his
administration will come fairly and fully before
be country for is approval or eondeunation:

just as they have. The Regency ruined the

failure lays them upon the shelf. All true con-

We are going to have exciting times from this

take their command.
