SHALL We HAVE REFORMs

We have seen It stated that there was held
in New York, last Tuesday, . meeting for the
purpose Of discussing the question Of the
revenue, and such men A. President woolssy
Of Yale college, Professor Sturtevant Of I'LL
nois College, Doctor Lisber, and william O.
Bryant, were present. What were the opin-
ions Of these gentlemen and their conferess,
we do not learn, and whether they reached any
result or not has not yet transpired.
II 10 q question what can be done TO put a
stop to the enormous and bare-faced frauds
upon the Treasury, and to check the known
thieves Of the whisky rings. Mr.. Sohenok's
bill, which provides for collecting the tax at
the distillery BY means Of stamps, may do
something; but the question ID, 10 Il sunicisnt

In respect to what 10 going on. A wsstern

QUE CANDIDATE FOE MAYOR.

Tho article, In our Saturdays issue, sustain.
Ing ..Sayles J. Bowen for Mayor Of this city,
hascaused some sensation and much coMmsnt.
We took this step after mature elaboration,
and from an assured conviction that We are
right. This paper, for more than year, has
been devoted to the interests Of washing ton,
and has sought to do what 1t could to build up
and Improve the national capital. In pursu.
ance Of this object, we shall support Mr..
Bowen, believing. as we do, that we can best
promote these ends BY so doing.
There are many Of our citizens who have
been, and still are, DESTROYS to have Congress
take away the city charter, and to assume
complete control and guardianship over this
District. Among those who favor this project
may be classed very large proportion Of the
property holders. It il now evident that we
are to continue to be ruled BY municipal au-
thorities such as has heretofore borne sway
here. What we want, therefore, 10 . Mayor
and city government thatis In harmony with
Congress, and one that IL influential In that
quarter, and will thus DO able TO secure the
largest amount OF aid In this behalf. II must
be conceded that Mr. Bowen, a. Mayor, will
be able to exert upon Congress that influence
which Is SO essential to the best interests Of
the city.
The executive and administrative ability Of
Mr.. Bowen will be admitted on all hands.
That he has the capacity, the integrity, the
honesty to discharge all the duties which the
post imposes with fidelity, and to the com.
plete and entire satisfaction OF the community,
10 abundantly demonstrated by his ofnoial
career In the several important trusts which
have been confded to his hands. We fear no
attempt from any quarter to controvert this
patent fact. Mr.. Bowen's officiai life and his
eminent services and conduct therein is known
to all our citizens, and they need no defence
at our hands.
We rejoice In the privilege Of supporting
this gentleman for mayor Of Washington, and
shall therefore do all In our power, BY the
use Of all fair and honorable means, to secure
his election.

was unfounded In fact.
