that Senator Patterson had made an engage.
meut to call upon the President that very
morning to lay before him the claims OF /

who wac DESTROYS OF being appointed Assistant

town people will be ultimately compeled to
yield. The first removal of the county seat
was a. .inexcusab!e wrong; its restoration be-
ing undoubtedly in accordance with the wish
Of i ninjnrity OF the citizens of the county, is
also an act ofiustice. 1t is to be regretted
that so bitter feud is being engendered be-

and that the defeated party mauilests such n
decided unwilrgness to accept the situation.
We earnestly hope that wiser couuseIs ,,,av

give satisfactory answers TO the following
" was there any necessity for tearing up the
street railroad track for a week or more YETI"
" Sould not one track have been retained for a

for the Georgetown people what he did for the
south end OF eth street, (where there is not one
fourth the travel there is to and from George
town. namely: connect with line of omni-
buses? We give it up. The travel between
Georgetown and Washington is immense. Many
aged people and women have business in WASH
lngton every day; and what are they to do when
pad weather comes? The indifference with
winch the complaints of a whole community are
received, and the nonchalance with which they
are incommoded, is the coolest thing of the sea-
son. half dozen omnibuses would accommO-
