City Improvements.

Every one knows, who has been At all obser-
want OF the situation In this city, that the
canal, In Its present condition, 10 nuisance;
and yet, Notwithstanding all that has been
said In the papers, and all the complaints
which have been made In regard to It, nothing
has been done to relieve the city from this
pestiferous ditch, which, A. 1t now 10, 10 OF
no earthly use to anybody, and can only re-
main an unmitigsted nuisance to disgust every
body, and to breed pestilential VApors and pol
sonous plants, and to affect with disease and
death the whole surrounding country. Now,
to put this canal into proper order 10 . dssid.
erdium devoutly to be wished.
Then there 10 another work, highly impor-
tAnt, and one that should be done at once, we
mean the proper dredging Of the channel ofthe
Potomac. General Michler has made . report,
which Is now before Congress, and It only
needs the proper influence to take this ques-
tion up and press 1t through. We trust that
our citizens will see how important 10 10 that
we have governmental aid In carrying out
some Of these needed improvements.
The election Of Sayles J. Bowen, therefore,
Is the thing to be done. How long shall we,
for the sake OF party sscendenoy, which, so far
as 1t can affect any interests In this city, is Of
no account whatever, stick to mere name In
our local elections The simple and only quss-
tion that now interests US 10, who, a. Mayor,
can do the most for the city No one will dis.
puts that Mr., Bowen 10 that man, and there
fore, we say 1t Is for our interest to forego
party combinations In our municipal cleo
ton, and to elect Mr. Bowen. We submit to
every candid man that we are right.
