have an easy victory at the coming election,
and will elect all the regular nominees of their

Another meeting of the Board will be held to.
morrow, when it is expected the plan proposed
by Mr.. Davis will be adopted, and that gentle
man be awarded the contract for doing the
work. Arrangements for procuring the neces-
sary material for the construction of the new
ways-which are to be capable OF hauling up
the largest sized vessels ARE almost completed,
and as soon as the contract is awarded the
work of laying will be commenced aud pushed
rapidly to completion. The small ways, those
laid aud 10 operation when the property was
purchased by the company, are kept busly
employed hauling up vessels OF light draught
and large force of workmen is constantly en-
gagged there. Had the large ways been COM
Ileted, two steamers would have been repaired
here this spring that were forced to 60 to Bal
timore. No definite arrangement has yet been
made about employing General Superintend-
eut, for such an officer is not now wanted, MIR.
Thomas Berry, who is at present managing the
yard, an excellent practical mechanic, being
fully competent to attend to all the work that
may be sent there.
