JEFF DAVIS has not been subpGnaed
to appear before the POTTER committee,
although the Toledo Commercial insists that
he should be, and that he knows as much
as BowLEs, or BoULDs, or BOWELS BAKER
We regret all this, not that JEFF has not
been subpUnacd but that the irreyercnt
Toledo journal in question has 50 thought
Iessly coupled his name, even by way Of
comparison, with that of the Old-Line
Wing manipulation aforesaid, which his

prefix. II does not exalt BAKER, II is true,
nor does it harm JEFF in reality but the
idea of associnting "Our President" with

What the People Think and Write About

What the People Think and Write About.
To the Editor Of nc National Republican
SIR: In reading your valuable journal few
days ago was very forcibly impressed with
the unswearable facts therein set forth relating
to the lack of energy Of our citizens and the
lethargy which seems to hold them spcllbound.
exclaim with you Lets wake up, shake off
this dreamy spell and fold our hands no longer"
I believe, with Greeley, that the way to resume
Is to resume. If we hold back. waiting for one
another, or some one to start the wheels of
trade and business, tho efforts OF one will be
but feeble, unless assisted, and will amount to
little, and nothing accomplished. What we
do should be done quickly. Mass-meetings,
conventions &C., seem to accomplish but little
great deal Of talk Is indulged in, resolutions
passed, committees appointed, reports pigeon
hOled, and thus matters end, apparently no
one benefited, while thousands remain idle
and families starving. Now we want action
earnest action-by men of business, not politi-
clans; thoy ha We had their day, 10! these many
years.
am but one of this great aud large oommu-
nifty, but I feel IKE heartily following your
advice, and show some appreciatiye activity
toward solving the problem Of restoring in
dustry and prosperity in our community once
more.
say to you, Capitalist. assist; unlock your
money box. you have ten thousand dollars
that you are willing to place on safo real
estate security, worth near double the amount
and ready to embark it for three or fiye years
at low rate interest, you can bo placed In com.
munication with q go-ahead citizen, practical
business man possessing the energy and fore.
sightedness that the articles call for.
| We have seen 1t demonstrated by our hnan.
cial and other writers how far a dollar will gc
in paying minor debts. How many hundreds
of thousands Of dollars then, will ten thousand
dollars pay in our community by being passed
from hand to hand, and how many mechanics
trades. people, laborers, producers and others
that are . portion Of our very large community
now idle, be put to work and their home;
made to rejoice by the dawn by the dawn o.
better times.
This is but one effort suggested, as the result
Of your articles. How much greater will be the
results If an hundred just such movements ART
by energy and perseverance, started In different
lines Of commercial pursuits that go to mak'
up the business Of our community.
There is no denying the fact that We are al
dependant upon each other; as soon as all th'
avenues of our wants. labor, and industry ar
stopped and closed, then we starve; but one
set the wheels of tho huge machine revolving
and soon all the machinery will be moving
Lets wake up, that we may deserve tho goo
fortune that has been vouchsafed to u.s." Yer.

THE Republicans Of New England, even
including the Gush organs who took up
LAMAR during the centennial year and
made hero Of him, and who have swal-
lowed GoRDoN's bunoombe professions OF
loyalty since then as gospel truths, are now
beginning to appreciate the truth about the
condition Of affairs in the South. The Bos-
ton Journal, for example, prints the follow
ing:
The colored Republicans in Summcrville
County, s. e., carried the local election re-
Gently by large majority, but tho Democrats
managed to count them out on the ground that
II wouldn't do for the Republicans TO carry tho
first election Of the season.
Therefore the Boston Traveller, which has
oil along been "Stalwart," and has conse-
quontly had just appreciation Of the
Southern situation, takes the Journal TO task
for the foregoing in the following style:
And this right under tho much.praised ad.
ministrative system Of WADE HAMPTON, who

Light and Air for the Washington Monu
ment.

To tie Editor Of tie National Republican:
SIR: Tho Washington Monument, II would
seem. should have arrangements for lighting
the interior by windows as well as any other
structure. Yet there seems TO be no pro-
visions for light beyond the doorways at the
base. At present there Is large enclosure,
some forty or fifty feet square aud over hun
drod feet high, and this, but for artificial
light, must depend entirely for light and ar
upon some comparatively small openings in tho
form Of doors at the base The sketch of the
monument. as shown when completed, does
not even show the least sign Of any provision
light and air. How Is II supposed that the
many people who arc expected to 20 up
into the monument will find their way
or exist In such . close compartment as
that will be with such limited proyisions2 OF
course such design should not have windows
like an ordinary structure, but IL should not
have openings, and In 10 large . structure the
openings could be quite large, say three feet
or even more, and yet, II treated properly, they
would be comparatively small and therefore
would not mar the design as q whole. The
Bunker Hill Monument, which Is not half o.
largo as this will be, Is well lighted by long
narrow openings Ia the walls, and they do moi
\ in the least detraet from the character of tn.
design. We hope that this matter will b.
looked into, and that 1t will not bc left uu,
cared for, and thereby necessitate some make.

Shade Trees for the Avenue and street.
To he Editor Of The National Republican.
SIR: We hopo that the new District gov
ernment will attend to tho shade trees of the
Avenue, for at present they arc in q most
lamentable oondition-a great variety of sizes
and kinds, young aud old, and oven worthless.
1t would seem that 1t was desirable to have
good shade trees on the Avenue, and that there
should be some uniformity as to size, kind, &C..
and not as at present, promiscuous lot of
good, bad, and Indifferent.
The beauty Of the Avenue would be greatly
enhanced by uniformity In this respect, and
surely the comfort Of tho inhabitants would
also be greatly enhanced by q more complete
shade than the present poor lot Of trees affords.
We also hope that + street will receive some
attention In this respect, for 1t would seem
that street that is so much travelled on dur.
ing tho hot days of the year should be made
more comfortable to tho pedestrian than at
present. NlPSIC.
