THE EVENING STAR. The Largest Circnlation in the District W. D. WALLACH, Editer and Prepricter. WASHINGTON OITY: SATURDAY................JUNE 29, 1867. S7 BEADING MATTER ON BYERY PAGS. BEE OUTSIDE FOR INTEBESTING TRLE- GRAPHIC AND OTHER MATTER. S77 The following is the officialjshowing ot the daily circulation of the papers named be- low, made under the call directed by the re- cent act of Congress: EVENING STAR, «7.715 copies per day.

Intelligencer. on ———-<+e-__. THE GOVERNMENT OF THE DISTRICT. The alleged heterogeneous character of the present government, or rather governments, of this District, for there are now at least five separate, sometimes cenflicting, jurisdictions, namely: Congress, the Corporation of Wash- ington, the Oorporation of Georgetown, the Levy Court, ana the Metropolitan Police Com- missioners, is beginning to attract the attention of our citizens. Those who favor a change Say that our anomalous condition is owing to the neglect of the National Legislature, when the District was founded, to devise a plan of government for the same, and that our present system, if it may be called one, is a thing of shreds and patches, the result of sixty-seven years’ legislation by Congress fora community not represented in that body. Without dis- cussing the questions involved in this contro- versy, we propose to notice briefly a historical fact of some interest in connection with the subject. On the 17th of November, in the year 1800, Congress assembled fof the first time in the city of Washington, which was intended by ite founder, says @ writer of the time, to “be the seat of justice, learning, and science; the foundation of good laws, and the rally- ing point of all the republican virtues.” During that session a bill was intreduced “for the government of the District of Columbia,” but for seme reason it failed to become a law. It proposed for the appointment by the President of a Governor to serve three years, unless sooner removed; and the establishment of a Legisla- ture, to consist of a Senate and House of Rep- resentatives. The District was to be divided into two precincts—« one on the east, theother on the west side of the Potomac’—the House of Representatives to consist of fourteen mem- bers, seven from each precinct, to serve two years, chosen by citizens of the United States— freeholders—resident twelve months in the District; and the Senate to consist of six mem- bers. three from each precinct, to serve six years, one third of the number to be replaced every second year: and to be chosen by eight electors, four from each precinct, elected by the freebolders qualified to vote for members of the House of Representatives. The Gover- nor was to have tbe veto upon the passage of all laws, (similar to that of the President;) and the Governor, the members of the Legis- lature, and the Electors, were to be prohibited from holding any office under the United States or any State. The Legislature was to pass all laws needful for the gevernment and police of the District. repeatable or alterable by Congress; and was to have power tolevy taxes, but it was provided “n> law shall be passed for taxing the District for opening, paving, repairing, improving, lghting, or reguisting the streets in any town or city Within the District.” This would seem to beve contemplated leaving the municipal goy- ernmente of the District cities intact. Other sections were in refereuce to the judiciary. VICE PRESIDENT WADE. The recent newspaper effort to bring Vice President Wade into disrepute, on tne ground of an alleged ultra agrarian speech ef his at Lawrence, Kansas, has already been exploded. The New York Times was the pioneer in this work, having treated Mr. Wade in the matter ‘With gross unfairness. It turns out that the Times’ account of the speech was most disin- genuous garbling, attributing to him words and thoughts ke did not utter. The St. Louis Democra‘, doubless after an interview with Mr. W. on the subject, explains that in saying tnat “property is not equally divided, and @ more equal distribution of capital must be wrought out,” he was referring to the necessity tor @ fairer adjustment of the tariff. which, a8 now arranged, bears hard, indeed: on labor, for the benefit of capital invested in manufactures. The couutry will in due time surely endorse all that Mr. Wade said in that speech as thus explained, despite the efforts ef his detractors to misrepresent it; most of them. by the by, being journals favoring the repu- diation of the national debt, directly or indi- rectly : emphatically an agrarian Proposition, The people, particularly out West, are be- coming more and more disinclined to the con- tinuance of the burdens on every other public interest except that of manufacturing capita, involved in the current tariff,and more es- pecially in the changes in that law so per- sistently urged upon Congress last winter. giaih Toei te eet THE JoInT ConGRESSIONAL COMMITTEE ON OxpNance.—The allegations being investi- gated by this Committee, now in session at the Navy Department, charge that orders have been given for five years past for cannon in violation of various provisions of law. That with the exception of some seventeen legally made contracts no proposals for ordnance for the naval service have been invited by adver. lisement as the law requires, or other wise, nor have those furnishing the cannon been Tequired © give security which the law demands, and further that the price paid for them—amonnt- ing to an aggregate of millions of dollars— ‘were much higher than would have been pad bad bids been calied for according to law. The parties to whom the orders are alleged tohave been given are Mesers. Knapp, Budd & Co., of the Fort Pitt Foundry, and Messrs. Seifeat, McManus & Uo., of thé Scott (Reading Pa.,} Foundry, the pany being Mr. fait, a brother-in-law of the Secretary of the Na: ‘The investigation promises to be a long one.
