EN Coy. PINCHBAcK, of Louisiana, says that he
docs not admit the need of special legislation for
his race He has never, he says, found dithculty
in getting anything if he asked for it civily and
paid for IT, except the United States senatorship,
and the main difficulty then was that he didn't
offer to pay enough TO satisfy the carpetbaggers.
lie adds that whatever the law may have been in
tended for he doesn'tsee the equity OF demanding
that the hotels and theaters should grant to II
ragged, ill-smelling negro what they would refuse
to a ragged. ill-smelling white man. Pinch hits
the nail on the head, as usual Washington Post

mau no doubt said some of the above things
while Others it is most likely, he did not say.
As to the absence of all difficulty in his own
case in getting accommodations by paying for
them, which he always does, we have re-
mark to make. AS he is not as dark as a
good many white men, it is quite common
for tho very highest toned bourbon negro
haters to mistake his race, and his distin-
guished appearance often causes him to
be mistaken for ono of their own
class. He is sometimes roguish enough to
allow tho mistake to 60 uncorrected

Thc Election Results.

The elections of yesterday have resulted
in the retakng of the four states of New
York. Pennsylvania, Massachusetts,, and
Connecticut by the republicans, reduction
of tho democratic maiorities in Maryland
and New Jersey, and temporary reverse for
liberalism in Virginia.
Tho recovery of New York by the repub-
lcans in tho face of the 100000 democratic
majority Of last year is q great and important
result, and, as many will believe, decisive
one. 1t destroys the hope Of democratic as
tendency in that state in the con-
test of 1884, and at the same time
burics the ambition of all New York demo-
cratic aspirants for the presidency. The old
ticket will be no more thought Of, and the
young refornor Cleveland will return to
Buffalo at the end of his term.
The grand victory in Pennsylvania will
put the possibility of democratic success in
that state so far out of sight that the motive
for protesting any sympathy with protection
will no longer exist in democratic councils.
The Old Bay State has checked the mount
ing ambition of Gen. Butler, and the demo-

Tyrannical sovereign Tho suspicion that
Tilden's money has been sent to cause defcc.

THE enterprise of the Metropolitan Street
railway is we'll set forth in a local article
elsewhere. This company owns twenty miles
of track, which has been laid at q cost of
$4,000 per mile, and the various street and
avenues which it traverses have shown re-
markable growth in tho way of substantial
business houses and elegant residences.
Many portions of the city which had made
but little progress in the line of material de-
vclopment have become populous and thriv-
ing under the facilities for speedy travel af-
forded by the Metropolitan company, and the
advantages thus resulting to Washington are

Tho annual report of the chief Of the bureau
Of equipment and recruiting of the navy for
the year ending Juno 80 shows that "a
vessels have been wholly or partially
equipped at an expenditure for labor of
$57,532, and for material of $l01,721. An
appropriation of $S96.000 is asked as
necessary for the equipment of vessels
for the next year. An estimate of Sl13O0O
is made for the completion of themonitors,
tho new cruisers, and the dispatch boat.
Coal to the value of S3i6533 was purchased
during the year. The project for coaling
station at Magdalena bay, Lower California,
has been abandoned. The present coaling
station at Pichilinque will be retained.
During the year 1,S00 fathoms of chain
cable were manufactured. 1t recommended
that large double front range, similar TO
that in use on tho United States steamship
Trenton, be adopted for general use in the
service. An appropriation of $4,000 is
asked for the completion Of tho wharf for

Report OF the Topographer OF the POST
Office.

In his report to the postmaster general of
the operations of the topographer's office dur
ing the last fiscal year, the chief, Mr. Carl
Roeser, says that when he assumed charge of
he office in December last he found the work
very much neglected. The maps had not
been kept up" and unanswered applications
had in instances been year on file. This
state of affairs was caused, he says, by the in
adequate yet costly system then in use for re-
producing maps. By introducing photo
lithography, chromotype, and other labor
saving processes he has been enabled to reducr
the cost of post route maps fully one-halfe
while completely disposing of tho accumu-
lated work, SO that the Office is now furnish,
ing regular issues every two months of COM
pete sets of post route maps, with changes
noted up to date of issue.
During the year 1858 corrections in maps
were noted by the draughtsmen, and $50 dia-
grams for the use of the postotice depart
ment have been "kept up monthly, showing
all tho changes in service for every month.
Much additional topographic and other work
was also executed. A distance table, intended
to replace tho erroneous issue of 1873, and a
new map of the United States are now in
preparation.
