THE SENATE DISTRICT OF CoLuM.
BIA COMMITTEE.

In the composition OF the Committee on
the District Of Columbia the Senate has acted
with wisdom and fairness. Senator Lewis,
OF Virginia, the chairman, "a a liberal aud
cntcrprising gentleman, thoroughly ac-
quainted with the necessities Of the people:
and fully informed upon the plans and opera.

Improvement Of the capital Ills we'll
known reputation for Integrity and
honor forbids any suspicion Of con-
uivanco at corruption and fraud, while
his record for fidelity and vigilance In the
conscientious performance Of his duties Is a
satisfactory guaranty TO the public that no
legislation will receive the stamp Of his M.
proval without undergoing the most rigid
and careful scrutiny. Associated with him
upon the committee win be found the names
Of Senators Spencer, Of Alabama; Hitchcock
OF Nebraska; Robertson, Of South Carolina;
Jones, Of Nevada; Dorsey, Of Arkansas,
aud Johnston, Of Virginia. The three
first named have served upon the committee,
and by their action have cvinccd generous
sympathy with the progressive policy which
animatcs our citizens, and disposition to
exert their influence In favor OF full Coop
Grafton by Congress with their enterprises.
Senators Jones and Dorsey are new men,
bcrs, but they come from those regions west
OF the Mississippi which bcgct comprehensive
ideas Of rapid advancement and are said TO be
ardent admirers Of the bold and energetic
policy which has succeeded In converting our
former unpavcd, dirty and undraincd avenues
and streets into the most beautiful thorough
fares In the world. Mr.. Johnston, Of yIr-
ginia, the remaining member Of the commit
tee, comes from section Of that State which
needs only the infusion Of the same energy
and spirit which charactcrizcs these improve
mcnts, In combination with the requisite
capital. to develop Its varied resources
aud constitute 1t the garden Of the
republic and the seat of manufacturing
and mineral wealth. II Is hardly possible
that he can be Indifferent to tho advancement
and growth Of the capital of the nation.
With such committee In charge of Distric,
affairs, the property holders and residents
may all feel well assured that no Injustice
will be done TO their interests.

The New York Tribune of yesterday re.
news Its attack upon Senator Carpenter,
and, without printing the testimony ad-
duccd In his defence, attempts to show that
number Of guests were received at the
Long Branch hotel after the Senator had
been refused rooms. Mr.. Carpenters
friends will be able to show that the hotel
had previously received number Of tclc-
grams ordering rooms TO be reserved for
guests expected to arrive by the trains that
day. This being proven, IL Is evident that
the register of the hotel might show ffty-
Tour or a hundred guests to have arrived
after Mr.. Carpenter had applied for accom-
modations, and the proof would not avail to
show that Mr.. Farrar's statement that the
house was overcrowded was untrue.

fruit. Nor are we likely to get a new supply fos
several days yet.
What shall be done
We have it, Let some enterprising dealer ar.
range with the railroad authorities to bring up
from the orchards to the farthest point which il
Is possible to reach the needed supply and then
let the train be met with wagons which will bring
the fruit on to Wilmington. Or il this be deemed
inexpedient, let steamer be chartered and run
OWN to Lewes, where peaches may be had ip
a undance. Something should be done. Our
people are great lovers OF peaches. They have
snjoyed few good ones yet this season. And
the season is fast slipping away. We are losing

None Of the Wilmington papers, on Thursday.
except the COMMERCIAL, had any comprehension
o the real character of the great storm of We'd
'sday night Until they read our report of it,
they were in ignorance of its terrible proportions
and serious consequences. Yesterday our furth-
e. details were the result OF personal investi-
CATION by one OF the editorial corps of the Com
MsRcIAL, who went over the ground on Thursday
afternoon. up to which time no other newspaper
representative had taken the trouble or shown
the enterprise of going below Wilmington to get
the facts Even the very interesting .'letter
from kirkwood, which appeared in a Philadel-
plia paper, Friday morning, and was extensively
copied by one of our contemporaries, yesterday
afternoon, was prepared from information gath
cred in this city. The exceedingly meagre and
insufficient reports given on Thursday by the
other city papers, when contrasted with their ef-
FORTS yesterday, to supply their previous def
ciencies, make the claim that their reports were
''full but condensed" quite amusing.
