| The New York journal Of Commerce says
that of whatever else the business com munitv
of that city can complain, they cannot grum-
bic at their inability to command money for
present use in their business at and below the
legal rate Of interest. Merchants in first
class credit can, in fact, substantially make a
rate to suit themselves, and if they are not
supremely contented with this state of
things, it is because perfect contentment is
rare condition of the human mind, and they
have little use for the money now to be had so
cheaply.

AID Virginia even then had proved failures,
and been distanced in the race for CONNER
cial eminence by Baltimore, and it was in
tended that they should be to Washington
what the old seed is to the new plant,
means of nourishment during its early
growth, to be at last sucked up and incor
porated into the more exubHent vitality.
The prophetic eyes of the fathers of the
Republic foresaw the time when the
Government would require q capital ten
miles square, and they provided at its CEN
tire for this need, just at they provided atits
circumference for its indefinite expansion.
Even now, when one sees the number
and variety of Government institutions
which the needs of national life have created
at the capital, the wisdom of giving the
capital wide area becomes evident More
than one Government service has sought
local habitation abroad because no proper
situation could be found within the District.
Even now there is complaint that we have
not sufficient room for a navy yard here,
and the training school Of the signal service
is on hills that although within the na-
tional domain created by the Constitution,
are yet in consequences Of a mistake of law,
held by the State of Virginia. The city Of
Washington is the District of Columbia.
Its destiny is to absorb within its limits all
the old ten miles square, and to show here
to the world a city of model schools, of
model workshops, surrounded by an open
country of model nurseries, of model or
chards and model farms of every character,
and exhibiting to the world in all the de-
partments of human requirement the last
and the most perfected result

THE DESIGN OF THE DISTRICT.

TIE consolidation of the local govern
ments of the District of Columbia was the
most effective step that has been taken,
since the cession, towards making the capi-
tai Of the United States what it was de-
signed to be by the trainers of the Consti-
tuition. Such a consolidation was practi-
cally impossible at the time that the nation
took Jurisdiction over the ten miles square.
Georgetown and Alexandria had each local
governments, and the community on one
side of the Potomac was accustomed to the
laws of Maryland, while the people on the
other bank had been nodded to the forms
and methods of Virginia Jurisprudence.
Washington, as yet, existed on paper only,
so that there was no material out OF which
to make the nations capital The design
was made and the plan laid out Both the
existing towns were avoided in assigning
its limits, and in the old fields, under the
eye of Washington himself the sur
Veyor set his compass, and marked the
manifcent proportions of the future city
that was designed to be representative of
the nation. Not even shadow of charters
granted by State authority was allowed to
hang over it. twas expected to gather a
new population, drawn hither by the
needs of the National Government, sew.

Union only. The old cities of Maryland

A CONGRESS OF FINANCE.

On our first page to-day we publish
suggestive letter from our wide-awake and
able correspondent Miss Kate Stanton, in
which, for special reasons which she gives,
she proposes a convention of the ablest po-
itioal economists writers and thinkers upon
the matter of the currency, as the shortest
and surest method Of getting to the bottom
Of the question, and intelligently instructing
the masses of voters. Miss Stanton has no
confidence in the ability of the people to
decide so abstruse question for themselves,
and declares that they must abide by au-
thority in this matter, as they do in the
science of astronomy, for example; and we
are not prepared 10 say that she is not right
on that head. Judged by its merits, her
novel proposition is a vitality important one.
Great good would, without doubt, result
from such a convention, conducted as she
proposes, without incentives to demagog-
ish harangue among its members, and ia
qHiring solely for the highest truths touch
ing the questions involved and we do not
see why it would not be eminently practi-
cal for the individuals she names for men,
bers, together. perhaps, with others who
could doubtless be found, of all parties, to
get together and deliberate upon the ques-
tions in issue, thoroughly and calmly bring
ing their entire learning, practical expert
ence and best common sense to bear upon
them. There is to be one-sided financial
convention on the 25th of October at Cincin-
natl, and of late financial convention,
all of one faith, was held at Detroit 1t
appears to US that it is just as possible, and
therefore equally practical, to convene
such a Congress of Finance" as Miss
Stanton proposes, if some one will but take
the initiatory steps. That most ofsthe per-
SONS she names for members are learned
and able is well known by the whole coun-
try, who would have confidence in their
deliberations. OF the competency of others
named, and who are unknown to us, we
unhesitatingly accept Miss Stanton's judg-
ment, for the present. or until we shall
be advised to the contrary. Such a
congress as she proposes, made up of the
most competent persons of now different
views, but open to conviction, could not
but work much good, and Miss Stanton is
entitled to great credit for her "novel in
ventiop. which we trust to see thoroughly
tried.

"THE North Carolina Constitutional Conven-
ton is under the control of the Democratic
party. We have but word of counsel: That
Convention will be closely watched by the
Radicals all through the North. They are
looking for capital for the Presidential cam
paign. Let them be disappointed"
Would such advice as this from the
Richmond Wing be necessary if there
were not among the delegates to the Con-
vention a number of hot-headed, reckless
believers in the doctrine of State Rights2
The fact that such an element exists in
duces the Wing to speak out in meeting
with words of warning and advice. The
check-reins must be drawn tightly and the
party LASH applied briskly in order to keep
these refractory spirits in the traces. For
.expediency's sake they must be made to
appear to be submissive to the changed
condition of affairs. 1t remains to be seen
how quietly they will yield to this kind Of
discipline
National Republican., 1875-09-14

Farther down the river they were not 80
successful. 1t is charged that our people
prefer to patronize watering places farther
from home. This is not exactly true. 1t
is merely question of superior attractions
and accommodations. Whenever we make
our river watering places attractive and
popular, whenever those in charge of them
will give their guests comfortable eccom-
modations and food properly cooked and
decently served, ou people will patronize
them, and patronize them well. But it
must be admitted that our river resorts
have sadly run down of late years. One
gave you enough to eat such as it was, but
it was so badly cooked and badly served
that you turned from it in disgust. Another
set an ordinarily good table, but insisted
that you must sleep in room with three
Others, Maryland fashion, and in beds made
of terrapin's backs. You were sure of
sore bones of a morning, if nothing else.
The people Of lower Maryland like these
beds, say they are healthy, if they do at
times have fnusty odor. But their guests
are not inclined to agree with them, and
very naturally go where things are elmore
to their tastes.
The quicker reform is worked in this
river resort the better it will be for all con-
cerned. We have Point Lookout within
eight hours run from Washington, one of
the most delightful locations for resort in
summer to be found in the country. Ma
ture has done everything for it, man very
little. With an unsurpassed sea view or
beach stretching along both sides Of it that
could with care and a very small amount
of labor be kept in excellent condition, and
free always from undsrtow or dangerous
holes, with breezes continually blowing
across the Point making surf on one side
and smooth water on the other-all that
it needed to make it well-patronized,
first class resort is some one who under
stands his business and has money enough
to put the place in proper order. We
live in an age of progress, and hotel-keep-
ing has felt the spirit of it quite as much as
any other business. Our friends down in
Maryland will find this out one of these
days.
