e Editor Of Tne Na,ional Repnblican:

10 The Editor of The National Republican:
SIR In regard to the government of the
District of Columbia, it docs not appear that
the trainers of the Constitution intended to
disfranchse its people. Some Of the most promi-
nent men of that august body appear to have
spoken most omphatically against such propo-
stion What was meant by giving Congress ex-
elusive legislative jurisdiction over such Dis
trict was obviously that Congress might exercise
such authority over the District as tho differ
ent States may exercise over the cities within
their own borders that neither Virginia, nor
Maryland nor any other State should inter-
fere with the government Of this District by
Congress, nor with the action OF Congress on
other matters, such as the question of slavery,
rs was done in Philadelphia to the extent of
making it necessary for Congress to withdraw
from that city. II is not possible for Con-
gress, any more than it is tor State Logsla-
lures to attend well to all the details of NUM-
cipal affairs. Then, why not let tho people of
this District manage their own affairs, under
the general direction of Congress, rs Is done
In other cities, under Legislative direction.
This was tried In this District for some sew
euty years aud no honest and intelligent man
will say that 10 did not work well. There
were no defulcatons nor plundering under
the mayors and city councils. The debt was
| small-less than 80 900, 000at the time these
were abolished ana the Board of Public Works
substituted. But what Is the debt now2 Who
can toll2 The liabilities may be thirty OF
| forty mil lions of dollars. The most accom-
| pl ishCd experts appointed by Congress fail Ia
| ascertain the sum, though it is said that some
| ten millions have disappeared in a manner moi

Attempted Reorganization OF the Repul
can Party for sherman.


can Party for sherman.
A called meeting of tho Republican State
Central Committee Of Virginia was held at
Richmond yesterday. 1t was intended at
this meeting If the statements in the Virginia
newspapers are 10 be credited, to dispense
with the calling Of State convention to
choose delegates to Chicago, upon the ground
of the expense of such q convention and hard
timesamong the people, and It was also intended
that the committee should assume the respon.
sibillty Of appointing delegates to the Chicago
convention who are not favorable to Grant be-
lieving that in the disOrganized condition of
the Republican party in the State there would
be no serious protest, as tho officc.ho!ders have
heretofore dictated the policy of tho party
with impunity
The olice-holders who had resigned their
positions on the committee, no longer having
fear of the Civil-Seryce rules or the fate Of
Cornell and Arthur before them upon what
assurance is not known ,quietly resumed their
places on the committee, and sent out invita-
tions to individuals throughout the State,
principally to office. holders and Others sup
posed to be opposed to a third term, or to what
they call Grantism, asking their presence ut
Richmond TO advise with the committee.
Among those present were Colonel Brady,
collector of internal revenue ut Petersburg
Colonel Fernold, collector of internal revenue
at Danvile and Colonel Van Auken, also of
Tue revenue SERVICE, representative JOIBeuscu
and many other leading Republicans from diff
ferent parts of the State. From the very out
set the otliCeholders without exception save
the single one of Mr.. Jorgensen, attempted to
bullloze the situation in favor of Secretary
Sherman The unofficial representation upon
the committee aud in the conference was
divided in favor Of General Grant, Senator
Blaine, Mr.. Washburne and ex-Secretary Fish
Among the first transactions of the com.
mittee was tho adoption of n motion permit
ting the withdrawal of the designations of
Chairman G. p. Ramsdell Omitted States mar
shall and Secretary j. ID. Brady (revenue col
lector), which were offered three years ago un-
der the promptings Of Cvil.Servic reform, and
have been pending ever since. This proceed.
ing was IN the nature of carrying out the
cut.aud-dred programme of the Sherman
men; but when it had been recorded the pro-
gramme was wiped out as it were. In short,
the anti-Shermen carried the day by defeating
| the proposition not to call q convention, and
it was finally decided to hold oneat Staunton ON
the 2lst of April next. This result, according to
| the statements of gentlemen who were present
at the meeting yesterday and arrived in Wash
ington last night, means that Virginia will be
represented at Chicago by delegation favor
able to the nomination of General Grant with
Senator Blaine ms II second choice.
