what desperate game has been play
ed. Col. Davis is the regular nominee
and deservedly so. He will, if we are
not greatly mistaken, be returned to
the Senate by an overwhelming and
crushing majority. We never had a
disposition to make this matter sec
tional and went into the Convention
to abide in good faith the decision of
the majority. We flatter ourselves
that the reasonable and rejecting Con-
servatives of Wythe will not be blind
ed by the "Ipse DiXit" of the Seceed-
ers, but will, upon principle, vote for
the regular nominee, Col. Davis. In
connection with that, when we con-
slider his personal popularity in that
county, ought we not TO expect a tri-
umphant vote even there? We desire
no war upon this subject and expect to
say nothing more unless forced, but
have tried to present to the minds of
all the voters in this District, the facts
as they actually stand.

The BigaElliSt Bowen for Gov
crner OF South Carolina.

The latest reports from South Caro-
lima indicate that G. &. Bowen, the
convicted biSamist, is likely to receive
the Republican nomination for Gov
ernOr of that State.
1t is said that the negroes, who III
that region have rather loose notins in
relation To the matrimonial obliga-
tions. are almost unanimous for him,
and that an agreement has been enter
ed into between Bowen and Mr.. De
Large, whereby the latter will use all
his influence to have Bowen nOmlna-
ted and elected, provided he withdraws
from the contest for De Large's seat in
Congress.
The election of Bowen for Governor
would be of great Importance to the
interests of Gen. Grant, as he is under
the deepest personal obligations to the
President. and is bound in honor TO
requite them. Indeed, if Gen. Grant
had not pardoned him, after he had
been Justly sentenced to the peniten-
tiary for higamy. he would not he able
to run for Governor at all.-N. Y. San.

Paving the Printer.

There are people of every civilized
country under the sun who have mis-
taken ideas about the business of print
ing and the manufacture of newspa-
pers. They believe that a newspaper
can exist, thrive and flourish OH itself,
without any external aid, on the prin-
ciple on which the bear manages to
tide over the cold weather, without re-
quiring sustenance or board. Many of
the people of Canada labor under this
strange idea, hence it comes that some
OF our brethren Of the provincial press
are driven half yearly to dun and
clamOr for what is due them and to
brOwbeat readers who believe that they
can read their paper without money
and without price. Our brother of the
Allison Star, of the Goth uit., makes
and appeal al 77aiSericordidm, which
is fair sample of what printers are
driven to by the wanton neglect and
carele aness of those when they faith
fully serve. He says: 1--WE want
money and must have it. From the
date of our commencement to the pres
ent, we have not urged uDon our sub
scribers or advertisers the necessity of
paying up. There is end to all things,
anu we HUO lndJ tie l!tle HIS dTllNGu
when we cannot refrain from asking
for what should have been paid long
since. Printers, like other people, re-
quire money. We have large week
ly outlay in the wages, paper, ink, &c.
We therefore trust this hint may be
sufficient. Every straightforward
man will admit that there is something
desperately wicked in the system
which compels decent man to turn
bumbailiff and through out such vivid
hints and insinuations as the aboge.-
Every straightforward man will admit,
also, that the parties who are the cause
of such transformation are guilty
not only of funcharitableness but down
right dihOnesty, and should be pla-
card9d as swrindlers of the poor and
needy. The printer ought to be the
last man in the world subjected to
gouging. His profits are small-fOr
years often invisible-he has then to
toll early and late, to slave often when
mEn ar at rest, to steer his bark through
q multitude of abuse which, if justice
were done, should fall on other shoul-
ders, and-besides doing all this-he
must never loose sight of the interests
of his readers, nor cease to push them
forward with might and main.-IOr-

Correspondence Of the New York Evening Post 7
WASHINGTON, July, 1871. - Few
among the newer residents of Washing
ton Know either the name or location
OF Mansion Square but its high brick
walls enclose SPOT around which clus-
ter pleasant and historic memories.
When General Washington. looking
for a site for the Natinal capital, had
his attention drawn TO this territory,
he found the entire western portion,
extending as far as Georgetown, inclu-
ded in one plantation, which had de-
scended through several generations
OF Scottish ancestors to the then owner,
David Burns.
AN INTERESTING INTERVIEW.
When the act of Congress, approx
ed July lG. 1890, locating the capital.
went into effect, Washington imme-
diately sought an interview with Mr..
Burns, and laid the matter before him.
The home of the planters ancestors
was sacred in his eyes, and he would
not leave it; lie had large number of
slaves and lac would not sell them.
Having, during many interviews eX-
hausted argument and persuasion,
Washington finally said: "Mr Burns,
have been authorized to select the lC-
cation of the national capital; 1 have
selected your farm as a portion of it,
and the government will take it at all
events. | trust you will. under these
circumstances. enter into an amicable
arran cement" Convinced at last
that resistance was useless, his Scotch
shreWdness suggested that by seeming
to yield gracefully while he still had
the opportunity, he might secure for
himself better terms; and when Wash
ington once more asked, intimating At
the same time that this was the last
attempt that would be made tc treat
with him amicably, "On what terms
will you surrender your plantation ?''
the reply was, " Any that your Excel
lency may choose to name"
PURCHASE OF THE GROUNDS.
The folling were, in brief, the terms
fixed upon:
The landholders were to cede their
farms to the government, and when
laid out as a city they were to have
every other lot. For all lands used for
public buildings, squares and walks,
they were to receive e25 per acre.
Nothing was allowed them for streets.
All the timber not wanted for orna-
ment was to be taken Off by the land
owners if they desired it. The city
when laid out was four miles and u
half in length, two and half in width
with circumference of about four
teen miles.
The deed conveying the land of Da-
vid Burns to the commissioners, in
trust, to be laid out as part of the
federal city," is the first on record in
the city of Washington. 1t provided
that the streets should, if practicable,
be so laid out as not to interfere with
the Burns residence, for which, if re-
served the grantor should account
with the government at el2 los. per
acre; and that if the plan of the city
should necessarily destroy the build
ings and trees, fair value should be
paid him. Neither house nor tees
were interfered with in the final laying
out of the city, and both are still stan
ding on Mansion Square.
