The Government Needed For the
National City,.

Gen. BOyntOn writing to the Cincinnati
Gazette i'm regard to the question of govern
ment for this District, says:
True, much good work was done by the
DGaid. and Washington transformed into a
capital OF which the nation may be proud. No
o. e now regrets the change, or wishes proper
mp ovements undOne: But. while this is so,
no good citizen desires to see restored the ire
SpOnslble methods which were then so largely
employed. The greatest care, combined With
the leeral help which it is but just that the
general government should give, are now
necessary to prevent the care and proper i'm

natlonai city from becoming most unjust
erhment by commission is economical and
honest. IL has the confidence of the mass of
property holders. Under its management en-
penSeS have been greatly reduced. and ju-
diclouS improvements and repairs have been
carried forward. The commission has not
only the confidence of the citizens but what is
more important. of Congress as well. This is
doubly important when the control of appro-
priatlonS is in the hands of an opposition
House Of Representatives.. With all the ma
has even been charged, much less established
against this commission. Its last report shows
an attention to duty, and such efficiency in adj
miniStratiOn as commend their work still more
IayOrably to the property holders of the Dis
trict. They have constantly la bored under the
load which was inherited from the old govern
mcnt OF the Assembly and the Board of Public
Works. They are thus freeing themselves
from many difficulties thus imposed. and are
now ready to render service in great degree
unembarrasSed by this inheritance of evil.
The movement to restore suffrage while
supported by many good and honest men, be-
cause they believe i'm it as principle, is most
actively urged by those who are reStiVe under
an inability to put their hands upon the ma
chlnery which controls the disbursements OF
the public funds. The Commissioners are by
1ar the safest men for taxpayers. The move
ment to replace their government by such
machinery as universal suffrage would set uD
in this community is almost wholly in the in
tterest OF those who have itching palms for pub
lie money"
