corning our city affairs shown by Its writer.
When it is considered that the city OF Wash
ington has nothing whatever to do with Penn
sylvania avenue, that it is solely under the
control OF the Government, through its Com
missioner, B. B. French, Esq. (who, we dare
say, does everything possible for il he is able
to do with the limited amount Congress ap-
propriates.) 1t will be readily perceived that
the malice Of the Chronicle levelled at the city
and Its authorities is by this laundering ignor-
ance discharged full in the face Of the Commits
sioner of Public Buildings, the very officer it
recommends as the proper one to work a re.
form in city affairs!
And on this foundation it brands our city
officers as sstricksters, who would mould mu-
nicipal affairs to suit their private purposes"
"the spectators in and out Of the Councils"
&C., &c.
When it is further remembered that the
City Councils took the Initiative in asking Of
Congress such change in our city charter as
will give the city additional powers for i'm
proving streets, and that it was upon the per-
sonal efforts Of Mayor Wallach and promi-
nent citizens that bfll to that end was intro
duced in Congress, twhere 1t now hangs by the
ears,) it will almost be doing the Chronicle more
credit to believe that such astounding ignor-
arce as it betrays is assumed, rather than real.
And its charge against the present city Of
fcers of speculation in city affairs, shows an
equal ignorance of facts; for while our city
government has faults, as all governments
have, that of venality is certainly not one.
Such q charge was never before limited or
dreamed, and could find q lodgment only in
the brain Of q s'new.comer," familiar with the
municipal ccrruptions OF our large CONNER.
cial cities. And were the charge true it woald
come with exceeding bad grace from paper
whose managing proprietor, though almost a
stranger here, figures as corporator in almost
every rotten gas company scheme, horse rail-
road scheme, etc, ETC., for the District, the
has been attempted to be lobbied through the
present Congress!
There is an idea prevalent in Washington
that the specializing and trickstering done here
is mainly by 'snew-comers,"-the" live men,
Of the Chronicle, who have SO ".mproved''
the city with 2 by Q board shanties, in place
Of the palatial marble blocks promised by the
Chronicle one year ago; and some Of who n have
inaugurated the moral reform promised by the
same paper at their hands, by introducing
here and setting up in business from five to
ten tn ousand " live women" of a class w ash
ngton could well spare, and who are just now
giving our criminal court SO much trouble.
We gladly recognize in considerable por-
ton Of the new. corners valuable acquisition
to the community,-men of integrity and CO.
pacity; but as they are by no means noisy,
blatherskiting politicians, they are not likely
to be patted on the back by the Chronicle or in.
cluded in It's list Of Sc live men," .
