CERTAIN NORTHERN democratic

tary Lamont is engineering scheme,
the object of which is to secure the
President another. the fourth, nomina-
ticn for the position he now holds.
Solely by means of the President, Mr..
Lamont, his once private clerk, is what
he is, and has amassed large fortune,
and, naturally, is disposed to do all ne
can in behalf of his beuefactor-except
relinquish that fortune. But certainly
the once great democratic party, which
has lost it's majority III both hoases of
Congress by the same means Mr.. La
mont acquired his greatness, has no
good reason for increasing the dissatis-
faction, discomfort and disorganization
now existing in its ranks, by supplying
the force necessary to secure the sue
cess of his scheme. There may be plan
ners and schemers and engineers, but
effective work must be done by la
borers, and ualess the millionaires OF
both parties, whose incomes have been
exempted from taxation by the U. S
Supreme Court, shall combine and buy
them, the requisite number can hardly
be obtained.

ACCORDING TO the court records Of
Washington, the ratio ofcrime to popu'
lation in that city was greater last year
than ever before, great as it had been
in previous years. The ratio of vice and
crime to people is greater in Washing
ton than in any other city of the coun-
try, for the reasons that so large pro-
portion of its inhabitants is composed
of freed slaves, and that it is the e'ort
ofbeats, cranks, adventurers and rascals
from all sections of the country. To
improve the manners and morals OF
that city, by the enforcement ofthe laws
therein, would seem more appropriate
object of the newspapers thereof than
vain efforts to decrease the value OF
property in Alexandria county by de
nouncing the law officers of that county
for alleged neglect of the duties of their
respective positions.
