Craig, and the New York general management of that organization. The Asso- ciation charges mismanagement and ineffi- ciency upon Craig, and the later alieges that the Association has “outlived its usefulness,” and he announces that he has organized an Opposition association which will news more cheaply and satisfactorily. Who- ever may be at fault, Craig or the executive committee, it is certaim that the newspapers of the country bave had great reason for com- | plaint. The wretched bungling, or worse. in regard to cable news, is a familiar grievance. ‘The Associated Press agents had got so slug- gish,in fact. thatthe papers outside of New York had pretty much given up the ideu of getting any Dewes on tbe same day of its occar- rence. For instance, on Tuesday last the drift of the voting wasso apparent in New York city that the afternoon papers of that city gave returns of what Congressmen were elected, with a tally of the state of the vote in different wards. Yetthe Associated Press failed to send a line even to indicate that an election was going on there. Yesterday not a word was vouchsafed by the Associated Press agent in Baltimore as to the proceedings in the case of the imprisoned police commissioners, a matter of great interest here. The mismanagement of the Philadelphia office has been a subject of complaint amongst newspaper men for a long time. Yet Mr. Craig, or whoever is responsi- bie, seems to have made no effort to remedy the evil. The country press, which is now paying at the rate of $75,000 per annum to the New York association, has had no voice whatever in its Management, and any complaint or remon- strance bas beem answered by an insolen: threat to cut off the reports altogether from the journal complaining. Weare giad, therefore: to see a wholesome competition threatened by this movement of Mr. Craig, and hope that both organizations may be kept up, as the press of the country and the reading public can hardly fail to benefit thereby.

THE WOBK AT THE ARSENAL From the fact-that orders had been issued by the Ordnance Department directing the trans- fer of some of the work being done at the Wastington Arsenal to other points, an ap- prehension was created that most of the force bow employed at tne Arsenal would be thrown out ofemployment; in fact that the operations ofthe Arsenal would be virtually suspended. We leara, however. that such will not be the case, and that as much of the work will be re- tained here as can be done advantageously to the interests ot Government. A considerable quantity of cartridges have been sent to the Frankfort Arsenal to be broken up, from the fact that from the large amount of dangerovg ma‘erial now stored at the Washington Aresenal, it was not deemed safe to do the work here. The rifle shell establishment which employs few hands has been transferred to Fortress Monroe, as it was found to be incon- venient (o have it detached from that point. In regard to the repairs upon the large num- bers of gun-carriages accumulated in the Arsenal grounds anhoused, we learn that as many of them will be retained here for repairs as can, in the opinion of General Ramsey, be properly attended to at the Arsenal shops. We are certain that General Dyer, head of the Ordnance Department. ana General Ramsay, the Commandant of the Washington arsenal, have both the kindest feelings towards this community, and will not unnecessarily diyert any work trom this point. ¥ EMPLOY mE DC EEDMEN or General Charles H. Howard, Assistant Com- missioner of the Freedmen’s Bureau, has is- sued a circular to colored preachers of this District, with a request that it be read to their congregations. The circular sets forth that there is 8 much larger number of freed people in the District than can find work at proper wages, and the Bureau bas sought the aid of benevolent societies in the North and East, and called apon offices of its own, for the furnish. ing to the freedmen of employment with fair remuneration. About 5,000 freed people have been provided for during the past year, having been furnished transportation from this city to places at which employment had been secured forthem. It is stated im the circular that amongst a population of 22,000 freed peo- plein the District. probably not more than 15,000 can obtain work at tair wages, and the colored people are invited to avail themsel yes ofthe agency of the Bareau in giving them transportation to points where they can be furnished with employment.
