THE indications are that the contractors
for the erection of Mr. Corcorau's new
building, cprper of Fifteenth street and
Pennsylvania avenue, will finish the edi-
fee, according to the terms of the contract,
by the 1st Of December. During the past
three years several buildings have been
erected in Washington that will compare
favorably with the finest structures in the
most pOru'oIs cities of the country, and
conspicuous among them is the handsome
building above mentioned. Mr.. Corcoran
has given his personal attention to its
construction, and it bears the same thor
oughDess and taste which marks the other
buildings Of his which adorn the District.

Buzz,
The case of Ex-Governor Shepherd is
one In which all real estate owners, bank
ers, merchants and trsdesmen in Washing
ton have vital interest. II his business
affairs are in sound and healthy condition
with the exception of such embarrassment
as has arisen from the prevailing depres-
sion in real estate, his fellow. citizens of the
classes above named cannot well afford to
allow him to be borne under by the pres
sure If it is in their power to sustain him.
II bankers and capitalists who hold large
amounts of his paper can tide him over the
crisis they msy by so doing prevent the
widespread disaster in this community
which will be almost certain to follow his
failure. They must know that to force
him to immediate settlement In this crisis
will involve q numerous train in the COM
mon ruin. Where such disaster would
stop 1t Is impossible to foresee. A little
courage now in combining all efforts to
avert the threatened storm may not only
save Mr.. Shepherd but all others whose
safety would be imperiled by his dovnfs y
The serious question for all to consider
Just now Is whether those who by prompt
and energetic action have the power 10
avert disaster can afford 10 withhold the
succor. The effect OF the sudden stop
page of the immense business of such q
firm as that OF Governor Shepherd ss this
time would be too fearful for us to attempt
10 depict II would be felt in almost every
household In the District II would pene-
trate every shop. factory, store, bank and
brokers' Office. II IL impossible to predict
its orbit or to limit its boundaries. Il
would throw out of employment an army
of lsborers in the beginning Of q hard win
ter, and precipitate upon the market lch
an amount of real estate as would cause
an irresistible depression. The ramifca-
tons of such failure and Its followmgs
would threaten the whole community with
distress and bankruptcy. Can 1t be
avertedi Ifso, can it not be done without
serious loss to any of those who will In
evitsbly be greatly damaged If 1t is t
donef The influence of his known en-
tarrsssmeut Is already apparent in the
feverishness of the money market and the
difficulty In making collections. A slight
paralysis Of circulation was felt on Satur.

ONE of the most incendiary paragraphs
that we have seen printed in any newspa-
per since the pending excitement over the
close national election contest began is the
following from the Sunday Herald Of this
city:
"Do not forget that both the Senate and
House have once repudiated the Kellogg usur-
patton by refusing TO seat the Senators and
Representatives whose titles were vitiated by
the nlegslity of that election; IN other words,
by the Inherently fraudulent character of the
returning board process. And get the Dszaoe-
Taey, NTH a majority Of more than three hun
dred thousand votes, are asked 10 tdnsety permit
this same KsRogg gang to make President Of
the United State"
The italics are not ours, but the itali-
cized sentence il the one to which we espe-
cisllY allu5e. Suppose that the same allu
sion should be MADE by Republican au-
thority to the condition OF affairs In Missis-
sippil The Herald and all the Democratic
sheets In the country would cry out with
demoniac rage that Rsdicalism was intent
upon destroying the country. Yetit could
be tTuthfully said OF the latter State, while
It Is not truihfnlIy said of Louisiaus.

PRESIDENT GRANTS letter to General
Sherman regarding General Ruger's in
will go down to history as the utterances
of true patriot and devoted statesman.
Just now they serve to assure sympathizers
with republIcanism in foreign lands of the
permanency OF our institutions. They are
as follows:
''No man worthy of the Office Of President
should be willing to hold it if counted In or
placed there by fraud. Either party can afford
to be disappointed in the result. The country
cannot afford TO have the result tainted by the
suspicion Of illegal or false returns"
National Republican., 1876-11-13

IT IS TO be hoped that those of our citi-
zens who feel an interest in the form of
government to be adopted for the District
will place some simple and well defined
plan for 1t before the committee now in
session at the Capitol. The members have
invited suggestions, and the views of expe-
rienced men should be placed at their dis
posal. Let all complicated machinery be
discarded and let US have a government
with responsible unit for head, which
shall be held to rigid accountability for
the economical execution of such laws as
shall be passed by Congress.

BIGoTRY is closely akin to sectarianism,
and the two combined are apt to result in
disaster n the best Interests of the religious
sect interested. There has been plain in
dications of this combination in the late
campaign. For example, it is charged
with show of fairness that certain leaders
Of the Catholic Church in New York and
elsewhere used the power of their ''cloth, :"
SO to speak, in behalf of the Democratic
majority. The result is a revival of the
anti Catholic feeling which produced SO
much bad blood in Philadelphia and else

We HAVE no additional returns tending
to change the opinion that Louisiana,
Florida and South Carolina have all cast
their electoral votes for Hayes and
Wheeler. The Press dispatches from the
South are all of Democratic inspiration and
wholly untrustworthy. They simply main
tain as the result what the White Liners
have all along sworn it should be, by fair
means or foul, and are sent in order TO carry
out the contract made With Tilden for

National Republican., 1876-11-13

THE efficiency OF the campaign work per-
formed by the Tilden and Hendricks Reform
Club of this District is evidenced by the cleo
tion of Mr. Walsh in the Sixth Congressional
district OF Maryland. While not relaxing In
their efforts in other States, this club gave
especial attention to that district, believing
that the next House would be close. The Dis
trict Of Columbia can fairly claim to have
elected Mr. Walsh, for not less than two hun
dred of his votes were cent from Washington
and GeorGetown.-SUnGay Herald.
This is what the late A. Ward would
call 'tamOosin." Mr.. Walsh requires a
little attention.

Mr.. JEFFERSON says somewhere in one
of his admirable disquisitions upon the
Constitution that under our peculiar sys-
tenn of government ga majority of one Is
better than a majority of one hundred. "
This remark of the sage of Monticello ap-'
plies with great adsptability to the politi-
cal contest through which we have just
passed. Had President-elect Hayes ma
jcrity been thirty or upwards of the cleo
toral vote it would have had most damag-
ing effect upon the Republican party, in
spring its leaders both North and South
with confidence which would doubtless
have resulted in our defeat in 1880. Large
msjorities are dangerous in Republics.
The small majority by which our national
ticket is elected is doubtless due to great
extent to the belief of thousands of voters
that the Republican party was invincible,
and hence there was no necessity for ex-
erting individual effort for the great cause.
Such belief evidently found lodgment in
the minds of thousands of New York Re-
publicans, aud assuming that all would be
well, they remained away from the polls,
and now have the satisfaction of seeing the
country saved from rebel domination by
just one vote. In the end, the late close
contest will have most salutsry effect
upon the Republican party, and will react
most disastrously to the rebel sympathizing
Democracy. 1t will inspire our workers
to a degree of energy which so conspicu-
ously exhibited itself in our early struggle,
when, sgsipst the combined powers of the
Democracy and the devil. we placed the
immortal Lincoln in the White House.
All In all, we have been practically ben
Gifted by the contest and the vim and en-
ergy which the party of equal rights will
display in coming contests will guarantee
for it uninterrupted control of the nations
destinies for the next quarter of century.

WILLIE.

A month ago the Democratic Com
mittec made an appointment for Col.
Ben. Wilson to speak at Moundsville, on
the 25th of September. yesterday A
Democratic meeting WAS called, and pro-

Col. Wilson repaired to Moundsville,
arriving there about noon yesterday,
when he was informed, for the
first time, that he was 20
hold a ioint discussion with John A
Hu:chison, the brszenest image OF
Radicalism in the State; and further that
a man named Stevens had come all the
way from the State of Blame to take up
after John A. This announcement, of
course, took Col. Wilson greatly by sur
prise. but feeling equal to the emergency
he accepted the situation. A division of
the time having been agreed upon, Col.
Wilson lead of in most scathing ar
raignment of the administration
for its betrayal of the trusts
committed to it by the people. Hutch
ison followed in wild and reckless
TRADE of over one hour. Wilson re-
torted in speech which set the audience
wild with enthusiasm. 1t was the ver-
diet of the crowd that the doughty
champion of GrantIsm and the
Resumption act came of decidedly
second best. Hutchison went for
wool and came back badly shorn
Col. Dan. johnson followed in short
brilliant and tolling speech, at the close
of which he and Col. Wilson embarked
on boat for this city. We understand
that johnson and Hutchison will lock
horns in debate at Cameron this after
noon, and We do not fear the result
Johnson's solid facts are worth cart loads
of Hutchison's froth.
