Mr.. GARRETT,s ORGAN.

The recent action Of Mr.. Garrett, In ro-
gard to the transfer Of Passengers between
this city and Alexandria, coupled with the
announcement that he will build line OF
road this summer from opposite Bladensburg
to point opposite Alexandria, thus practi-
cally ignoring Washington as a railroad cen.
tire, has awakened the most profound Interest
among our business mcu and citizens gen.
orally. The animus of the president Of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company Is oh.
Nious TO every ono. For years II has been his
policy to make Washington mere suburb Of
Baltimore; 10 kill tho trade Of the city by
ruinOus freight charges TO our merchants,
and to retard our progress In every way.
The equipment upon the Washington branch
line was as bad as II could be, and disgrace
to the Baltimore and Ohio Company until the
csmpcuuon Of the Baltimore and Potomac
road compelled him to make slight i'm.
provcmeut. Mr.. Garrett having been beaten
at every point In this city-a result for which
he has TO thank only his own selfish, uneutcr.
prising, cowardly Policy-sccms determined
to innict all the injury that he possibly can
upon this community. Instead Of entering
into q fair competition with Mr.. Scott
through Washington he has concluded 10
carry all his Southern passengers around
the city, and until he can accomplish
that result TO submit them 10 vex-
atiOus delays, aud convey them for the
distance Of seven or eight miles on
rlckcty steamboats, and In filthy omnibuses.
This Is q 81 nPle Of the progressive manage
mcnt Of tho Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company which the Daily Chronicle, as the
special organ and champion Of Mr. Garrett,
has seen d TO commend. That journal Is 10
devoted 10 the interests Of our city that II
Apologies for Mr.. Garrett, and endeayors "a
convince the public that the new aUange-
Incnt will bo "for three fourths OF the year
mUru agreeable to the travelling public" than
the 'all-rail' route. Tho fact Is, this new
arrangement which finds 50 much favor In
the eyes Of our contemporary Is the most
direct blow that has been struck al the pros.
perity Of Washington for many years, and
is oo regarded by every one who Is not inter.
csted In seeing II In the opposite light It is
astonishing that journal printed here, and
appealing for support To our people, should
aid and abet u movement calculated TO operate
80 strongly against the advancement and pro-
sreSS Of tho city. But II Is not 30 astonish-
ing after all when the surroundings Of that
Journal arc considered.

BRITISH COMPLIMENT TO oUR SIG.
NAL SERVICE,

Il has come to be a eustom-qulte Us preva-
lent a. that Of asking graee-tO inquire at
the breakfast table what "Old Probabilities"
means TO do about the weather for the day.
The GlObt, Que Of the Ablest Of the London
dailies, recently noticed the many material
changes In the physical geography Of the
globe during last year, and in doing so spoke
as follows OF our signal service Among tho
most energetic observers and chronlclcrs
prominent place must be given to the con-
ductors Of the Signal Service Bureau, ostab-
llshed ut Washington by the United States
Government. 1t has proved valuable coad-
tutor ~ learned societies, even In its infancy.
In reference 10 storms which desolated so
many parts of America during tho year,
scvunty-six per cent Of It's predictions p royed
correct aud when more fully organized II
will frequently he before the public in antici-
Paling coming disaster"
The highest praise the Gl0bs bcstows on
our peculiar service Is found In its remark
that the British Meteorological Department
"ls OF too limited a character to cope with
that at Washington, for which, Of course,
learned societies have to thark the Treasury"
Aud our own would bO much better service

sGo that the last annual report Of the chief

the SmAllnesS OF tho compensation allowed

present system observers and their assistants

was a respectable gathering, though
not so numerously attended as it
would have been, but for the pros

cd the destruction of3fhe tobacco
crop, Which is one of the principal
products of Probe county. The
meeting was organized by calling TO
the Chair Robert Bell, of Jackson
township, and elccting b. ID. Moses,
Esq, of Casper, as Secretary. Ap-
propriate and interesting addresses
were made by Messrs. Shute and Bell,
of Jackson, Shideler of Casper, Jos.
Miller of Jefferson, and G. D. Hend-
ricks of Washington. One of the OBJ
jects of the meeting, to wit: to form

Fair, and a committee of two from
each township organization was ap-
pointed to prepare the documents for
such organization

Tha SALARY erab

If there had been any patriotism i'll
the last Republican Congress, there
would have been no desire on the part
of its members to increase their sala-
ries. Five thousand dollars n year
will pay the expense of any one of
them who lives in anything like de-
cent Republican simplicity. OF eourse
it would not provide them with
champagne suppers sixtiues a week,
nor satisfy all their losses at poker;
but these are luxuries of statesman
ship for which the people have not
yet supposed themselves obliged to
paysisAsfor Grant, of courseh he could
not live on twenty-five thousand dol
larsi Still he manageable keep a fine
stud of horses, so that he.could ride
twice day for a week, and have a
different horse each time lie could
air the finest, carriage on the avenue ;
he could have lacquies. in white and
gilt band livery !; he could smoke the
most expensive cigars, and drink the
very best whisky his wife could i'm
portLhe finest goods from abroad;
his daughter4eould travel in style in
foreign countries ;7he could have his
cottage ,M Long Branch, and every
comfort hxury, and convenience that
money would buy. Thousands OF
people who toll night and day, white
the President drinks and smokes aud
ridcsabout, to get moneyto pay their
taxes, that he may have these little
delights, Will of course be glad thai
a Republican Congress has raised his
salary to twice as much, SO that he
cam have 6wice as many cigars and
horses. and twice as much whisky.
Thousands of poor, struggling, work
ing-men, who have mortgagcd.the
homes to keep them out of the clutch
es Of the tax-gatherer, will be glad to
vote for this Republican party, that
also raisedthe salaries of the members
of Congress. Thousands of MANNED
and crippled soldiers who are draw
ing a miserable fewsdoliars pension
from Athe best government the sun
ever shoneupon,o and thousands Of
others who cannot get a pension be.
cause there is too much red-tape in

for Governor Moves, who uphold:
and indorses the acts of this Republi
can party, that voted away millions
of the peoples money, upon the worsi
