OUR ELECTION RETURNS.

The correctness of the election returns
published by us within week or ten days
after the late election has been fully shown
by the official report from headquarters.
In most cases it will be found that we were
in entire accordance with the official re-
suit; and where there is discrepancy we
think ours still the best, and hope to be
able to convince the Senate and House of
Representatives of the fact when certain
contested election cases come up for con-
sideration. It is true that i'll some instances
we were compelled to rely upon unauthen-
ticated reports, but our endeavors to obtain
correct information, regardless of the po-
litical preferences of ourselves Or friends,
have resulted in a manner creditable to our
reputation for enterprise and accuracy.
The readers of the REPUBLICAN have there
fore enjoyed the advantage (Which was
hitherto unattainsble from any other
source) OF knowing generally who were the
successful candidates at the last election.

"A movement is on foot among num-
Der of enterprising business men of this
city and Norfolk, Virginia, to establish ship
ward var at some point along the Potomac, between
the west terminus of the Arsenal grounds and
Potomac ferry wharf. This step is rendered
necessary in view of Of the great and increas-
ing demand for some accommodations Of this
character, where damaged vessels can be pulled
up on the ways and repaired for outward yoy,
ages AS it is now. there is no place in the
District adapted to this purpose, and it fire.
quently occurs that a large number of vessels,
particularly heavy draft, long voyagers, are
compelled to abandon this port altogether, and
steer for Baltimore, Norfolk, OR Richmond,
there to seek and discharge cargoes, because
they can 60 into dock at the yards and receive
speedy and proper repairs.
The shipyards at this city have ample facl!l'
ties for repairing all vessels of the size that
trade to thcDistrict of Columbia, and, with
little additional expense, could be rendered
competent to repair any that float.
