the Congress nominations are concerned, is felt in
the two districts OF this county. The republicans
made their nominations to-day, selecting Ben

Of the public property. Private
citizens who, for mere curiosity, desire
to visit the Island, and who are
known to the Conmmaudsnt or who
can find some responsible person TO vouch
for their proper conduct fad no difficulty in
obtaining passes. The Commaudant has
also, on several occasions, taken the reapon-
sibIlty to admit excursions to the Island
but bis oourtesey in this respect has nearly
always been abused by ignorant and i'll
hammered persons who roam over the grass,
iutrude themselves Improperly into offices

private family residences of those who re.
side on the Island, and otherwise violate the
rules Of the Island. 10 order that people,
and especially those who 20 10 crowds, shall
learn better manners, and realize the true
position of affairs, the CommandAnt has
very properly taken measures to guard the
public properly from any more such roWdy
raids as have been made upon it. No indi-
vidua or collection of individuals has any
more right to enter upon the Island tasn
upon o naval vessel or into the White
House. They must first obtain permission
and then carefully obey the rules. The
ComGAndant is responsible to the Presi-
DENT not to the people, for bis acts, and If

certain persons connected with the Dixon
Hook and Ladder Company, who we're here
on a recent excursion, we're not permitted
to make free with the comforts Of that house
without Grss making themselves known q,

one, and 10 some of its details is wholly IN
true. We suppose that oil persons Of even
ordinary Information know that when they
visi. hotel their first business is to register,
at the Office, If they wish to become guests
Of the house. How else is landlord to
know who are his guests, and entitled to
bis attention AMI protection? it would aot
be pleasant reading for sone OF the Dixon
Hook aud Ladder company if we we're to
properly describe their conduct at the Hsr.
per House. Ii is to be hoped that, in future.
when they visit civilized communities they
will conduct themselves mere 10 accord lance
