TIE WASHINGTON ELEC4YOM

TIE WASHINGTON ELECTION.
In Washington, at the city election, the
Democrats sunk their distinctive organiza-
tion, and helped nominate "Citizens'
ticket on which there were several colOred
men placed as candidates. One or two other
prominent men among the colored citizens,
besides the candidates, were persuaded to
leave the Republicans, and altogether high
hopes were entertained of convincing the
newly-en franchised that their old enemies
had now become their best friends. The
result was disastrous shattering Of such
hopes They exploded, miserably, at the
first pressure. The Republican majority in
the city was never SO large. The colorcd
men were never more united and firm in
their support of the Republican ticket. The
''Citizens" are disguised, sore, angry, dis
gruntled. One of their papers copies, al
most approvingly, the declaration of some
pro-slavery New York sheet, that 'under
1.-THE municipal rule now in force in WASH
''ington neither life nor property is safe.
''rhe town is doomed aud damned.
"Unsafeness of the municipal rule is rather
an impudent assertion, in face of the al
mrable manner in which the police
queed the riotous disturbance, in the streets,
on Monday. All accounts agreed that Major
richards and his mon were prompt, firm,
and resolutc, and that they thoroughly pre-
served the public peace. For washington
paper thus to libel the city's character is ouly
fine instance of a viper operating on file.
As to the disturbance, which is made the
excuse for such bilious utterance, ii was
very improper, and is utterly condemned, all
around. 1t is too much like the Democratic
Dead Rabbit riots in New York, or Tom
swanns Plug Uglies 1t is not likely it will
br repeated, and nobody is less tolerant of it
than the leading colored Republicans of

wilmington as MANUFACTURING Csty.
Wilmington is one of the finest localities for
large manufacturing business, of almost any
kiGd, to be found in the United States, and it is
astonishing that more factories are not erected
here. Success has attended nearly every manu-
ficturer who has started here with practical
knowledge of his business. Workers in iron
have been most successful although we bave net
been SO near the coal fields us desired. Bnt We
shall be very much closer in point Of time when
the Wilmington and Reading Railroad is COM
plcted. This will be accomplished, we hope.
during the fall aud winter. In the last twenty
years many Of our citizens have grown more
wealthy In manufacturing and mechanical
branches than the, ever hored to be. The next
twenty years must be still more profitable to our
people There is room here for half dozen Car
manufactures; and MS many leather and morocco
establishments with cheap coal and such easy
access to the best markets Wilmington must soon
attract attention, and become noted for the
variety as well as the excellence of her manu-
tacturcs. Gu.eHe.

small Shells resembling the shell-fish, known as
the round clam. We have number oil these

Egypt and the French and English colo

more thar half the human race, have nc
railroads, and therefore do not appear in
the table at all.
Among the countries represented there
are but four inthe world, besides the Uni

miles of completed railway as the State of
Pennsylvania. Thus:
