~ What kindly feeling have these Iadi-

@s- What kindly feeling have these Radi-
calls for the poor tax payer, particularly at The
approach of an. p..elccion-but unfortunately their
regard for him is forgotten the moment they get
control Of the affairs Of gotsranient' .''" ="
AT this particular time they are whiting over
the ''extravaganee" Of the Legislature Just ad-
journeJ Eet us see what this trtrdorainary ex-
travagance amounts to. We rather opine'the fig
ures win not show in Q very favorable light Raj
ical ecoaomy. Bat to .:hc .fgures-and they arc
ofiitiai-taken from the Report Of the Commit
ties on Claims. They show as follows:
Total disbursements 1868, .,. lsG, es1 s.?
H 5i- ~ ''ss 1851 . ..i"H ll9,7ss,7
Decrease iu. 1867 .E .g s- 81, $40, ,sS
Thus i will be seen that the difference on the
score of economy in the administration of State
affairs is against the Radicals tq tho tune ofnear
ly $4,000. It's very easy to blpster and blow
about extravagance, but the people understand
all this and require figures before they place any
confidence in such statements. a. g.. SO
The people further understand that, previous
10 the advent of Radicalsm, taxes in this county
were merely nominal, while now they arc burth-
in this the Democracy have had no hand-that
the Radicals have had entire control tf:State aud
General Go~ernments-that it has been solely
and exclusively through their extravaganza,
plunderings and pcculatons that tncy are thus
sur,heued with debt and taxation. 1o1 rnr
In 1869 the Democrats held control ofths GEN
eral Government. Under their management i,
reqnired sum little less than sixty millions Of
dollars to keep the wheels ia motion. The poo
Pile we're then treatedr Gas now to diEcourses upon
the ''cxtravagancep in the government. They
placed their confidence in the hands of the Radi.
csls and what u tho result? The expenses Of the
Government for 1866, year, like that of 1862
of profound peace, are shown to have been up
Wards ef'Mres hundred and sighty-seuen millions
of doiilrs. Here is difference of S327, ,ooo, 900
in one year against Radical economy. A nice
party, truly, to prate about extravagance. Th're
motive is to divert attention. frsln their own
p!underings and u too we'll understood to have
any weight with people Of sense or iuiell-

THE MANASSAS GAP RAILROAD -CRop5,
&c. Fl. W. Fandegrift, the efficient Gen
eral Superintendent of the Orange and Alex
andri: Railroad, returned to this city yesterday,
having made thorough inspection Of the line
Of the Manassas Gap road, from the present
terminus of the track, at Piedmont, to liar-
risonburg Mr. V Was accom- panied in his
trip by Mr. t. c. Marshall, the Journey being
performed by the two gentlemen on horseback.
A careful survey Of the road bed, estimated
cost of repairs, and construction OF bridges,
with the probabilities Of obtaining cross lies,
&C., WIS made, and the conclusions arrived at
are very satisfactory and encouraging to all par
ties interested, leaving no doubt OF an imme-
date resumption Of work, and speedy recon
struction Of the road to Harrisonburg. We
understand that reliable parties, with means,
are ready to undertake the work on the whole
line and the contracts will, it is thought, soon
be made, and the work pushed vigorously on.
The crops in the country adjacent to the road
are said to be good, the yield of wheat having
been fair the oats have turned out we'll, and
the prospect for a fine crop Of corn was never
better A great deal Of land is under cultiva
ton, and the people are hard at work, not un-
mindful of, but unheeding the political strife
going on around them, hoping for the best, and
endeavoring by honest toll to repair the heavy
losses sustained by the war, relieve themselves
of debt, provide for their families and make
them independent Of the world IN which lau
dable o'lect, it is hoped, they may be success
full Our friends 10 the Valley, and through
the country which Manassas passes, will learn
with pleasure of the prospect before them OF
again being united with Alexandria by rail, and
oar citizens will be no less delighted at the
prospect Of having the way for communication
With their friends in the Valley again made
easy. May the pleasing anticipaions of all,
and the great benefits to accrue to city and
country, be more than realized at no very dis
tant 1ay

REC Alta The Grand regatta. Or. As i

THE REGATTA. The grand regatta, or, as it
was almost invariably termed, "regretta" took
place yesterday, according to previous extern
sive announcement. and may have proved in
teuseiy exciting to those who were personally
interested in it-pecuniariy or otherwise, but
to one who had neither money AT stake, nor a
friends success at heart, it was decidedly uH-
suggestive Of the scenes and Incidents conSc
uuent upon the far famed European regattas
and totally devoid Of the excitement induced
by them During the hours consumed in the
race, the Potomac, between Washington and
Fort Washington, was filled with boats Of all
descriptions SO that it was impossible for the
uuinitiated to determine The relative position OF
the listle>s contestants, or even what boats out
OF the large number anoat, had been entered
for the prize.
The wharves of this city, and the warehouses
fronting the river we're occupied by many dis
appointed spectators for short time, but it
being apparent from the speed at which the
race progressed, as it passed here, that the
period of its termination would be extremely
doubtful and q slight drizz!e commencing at
the time about two oclock-they were soon
vacated.
Three steamboats,, the Hi Livingston, Wawa-
set and Winnisimmet loaded with passengers,
many Of whom were from this city, accompa-
MED the race throughout its length, occasional
ly stopping here to land those who had become
disgustel or take on such As were anxious 10
become so.
The ILL., Livingston carried band Of music,
whose continued but short breathed attempts
at national airs, and the antici pated delights
OF Witnessing the exploits OF sell,proclaimed
Antropophasus on board, contributed greatly TO
the enjoyment Of The rest Of the passengers.
The specimen alluded to after knocking and
slashing about generally, was hunting the boat
throughout for an individual whose body was
to constitute his evenings repast, or else an
important visccra Of his own was to be roasted
in the place where the hottest Of all fires arc
said to rage, and where no sitter brccZcs blow
than those then filling the sails o! the racers
On their way up, wien of Fort Footc the
Coones and Brunette were bow aud bow, and it
was evident that the race lay between these
boats, and considerable betting cnsued The
boats continued on up the river, the Catharinc
Coomes and Brunette and Lady Lyons being
we'll ahead, while the others were scattered
along the course for mile or more astcrn.--.
The Uatharinc Coomes first arrived at the
stake boat opposite the wharf in Washington,
at C.52 p. NJ, followed by the Brunette, which
arrived at G IS p. NJ, the latter winning the
first prize, on account Of the rule allowing
time for difference in length OF keel. The
Lady Lyons passed at p NJ, anl having
length Of keel about equal TO that Of the
Catharine Coomcs, was the winner Of the third
prize, The Coomes winning the second prize.

The New Railroad and n. Cost

A gentleman of this city, prominently inter-
ested in the construction of the new Railroad has
received letter from ]. Button Steele ESD, the
Chief Engineer, in the course of which, the latter
says
81 congratulate the Board of Directors on the
" favorable terms they have been able to obtain.
:" This arrangement secures to the Company one
"of the cheapest roads which has been built of
late years, and Ihope it will prove good one :,
The opinion of Mr. Steele, as practical cngi-
necr of long experience, is of no small value, and
deserves the confidence and attention of the pub
lie. The economical terms upon which the Dircc-
tors are able to build the new road adds one more
reason to the many which already exist in favor
of harmonious and united action among the peo
pie of Wilmington, in the construction of Til.
