1t is unfortunate for thoss in
charge of the Washington Monu-
ment that popular subscriptions for
the work have almost entirely cessed.
To be sure, the Gover.ment q year
ago, voted money enough or nearly
enough. to complete the shaft, but
with that appropriation came num-
berless plans for modification Of
the original design. The Society,
however, has decided to insist upon
q continuance of the work as origi-
nally intended, and will oppoee any
effort to securea change.
We have among us = genius, one
a. Watson, Who has for many years

tor the protection 81 farmsrs cl6pa !
of property on the hanks Of rivers
and streams, &c. He wishess to
bring to the protection of these classes
of property the telegraph systems Of
the country, the regular signal SER
vice Of the Government, the firing Of
cannon as warning Of coming
storms and other appliances ofthe
age. He is not after money. but
claims that the inexpensive adoption
of his ideas would have saved many
millions of dollars in crops and other
valuables during the late severe
storms in Virginia, Maryland and
Pennsylvania. One of the great
telegraph companies offers the free
use of its wires, and it is not unlike
ly that another year may see the
plan of the enthusiastic Washing
tonian on trial.
There is published this morning
letter of p. B. S. Pinchback, Louis
lana, in which he withdraws from
further contest for the place OF Sena-
tor from that State. The withdrawal
was not, of course, necessary to the
seating of Senator Euetis, who, be-
sides al the Democratic votes, viii
have those of many Repuhlie4ps.
