EVENING STAR. — WASHINGTON OITY: WEDNESDAY. -Mareh 9, 1870. “Reading Matter on Every Page. Receptions, The next reception of the Speaker of the House will be on Friday evening, March 18th, from 9 to 11 o'clock. Mrs. Blaine’s receptions will be held every ‘Wednesday of the season, between the hours of 2 and5 p.m. The Little Joker. ‘The City Hall opponents of the plan of sel” government for the people of the District have been a zood deal d-moralized over the unmts- takeal .c signs that Congress is disposed to pass tha: measare, and their alarm culminated when the report reached them that both the Senate and House committees were prepared to repo:t unanimously in its tavor. Something must be done, and that speedily; and on Monday morning the “ring” by various expressive nods, winks, and «miles indicat» to ‘one another that the plan had been concocted whereby to kill the Territorial bill, dsad, de ul, dead,—dead as herrings that are red! And when they went up before the Senate commit- tee that day the little joker speedily made its appearance in the shape of a pruposition t> Postpone the matter, take it out of the hands of Congress, and have it submitted at a spe- cial election in October next; only those to be permitted to vote who shall be pat on the June list by the Board of Registration. ‘This dodge is in keeping with the whole schem> of evasion, misrepresentation, pettifogging aad delay set up by the opponents of self-govern- ment. Now they resort to what is called in Congress fillibustering tactics—the attempt to defeat a measure by dilatory motions, and every Species of unscrupulous hindrance to action. They want, in the first place, to stave otf action—to gain time—an‘l hope that if the q2es- tion ever is submitted to the people they can defeat it by appeals to ignorance and prejudice, as Senator Hamlin blantly told them, an! | by loz-rolting to combine an opposition to it | of all those a:saffected with individual sections. | ‘This was the manner, it will be remembered, in | which the revised cols for the District was | killed, after it hal been prepared with great | care under the direction of Congress. From the present temper of the people we | imagine that ne doviges of this sort will pre- ¥ail to defeat the plan of sel: government, it svbmitted to them. Not a voice is raised in op- | position to it throughout the entire District, except from those who hare near relatives un ler the upset load of hay. If the election, therefore, is to be held, let it be held at once. The peopie are as ready to vote upon it now as they ever will be. It doesnot need a very te- dious inductive process to get it into their heads that self-government is a good thing. It is necessary to din it in their ears from now to October that it is desizable for them to have the power to build railroads, establish manu- ctories, pave streets, abate nuisances, build market-bouses, set up industrial enterpris and put the blocked-up wheels of progress in motion here. If there is a single individual in this community so stultitied that he needs to be | told ai! this, it will not help his ease by de- laying the question six months. It will never get through his hair by the Ist of October. At will need a century at least for such first-class | Kips to Snish their snooze. If postponement | is necessary, the ring had better imake it | October, 1970; and if that delay should prove | Unreasonably short, we doubt not the Corpora- | tion Attorney of the period will be on hand | with an amendment yet further j until October, 2708 Laarree But from what we hear, Congress is not im- Pressed with the postponement argument, and 1 means to put astop to the insufferable triling Persisted in by the dog-in-the-manger oppo- nents of every measure of progress and reform started in this District. —see-—__ Way we Pay More ruay Tay po ix Purt- ADELF4IA—As an explanation why more ts charged here for opera tickets than in Phila- delphia, it is stated by Mr. Rosa that the theater here is so small that it will not contain a paying audience at the price they charge in Phila~ deiptia and other cities where they have spa- cious opera houses, which will accommodate twice a» many spectators as here, and at no greater expense otherwise. This is a common- sense, business-like reason, the force of which anybody can see, and it must be accepted as good so far as Mr. Rosa and his associates are concerned. But it does not relieve our pockets any. The practical effect upon that sensitive nerve is that the people of Washington and their winter visitors are taxed from fifty cents to one dollar extra every time they attend a first-class entertaimment because we have no proper building in which they van be given. Now, where is the company specially chartered by Congress several years ago for the purpose of ‘building a suitable Opera House or Academy of Music in Washington? Are any of the cor- porators going around complaining that “ Con- grees won't do anything for the District ” 7 Me. Gargert’s Orver—Mr. Jobn A. Par- tridge, P. A. Engineer, Baltimore and Potomac railroad, in bis remarks at the meeting of t Citizens’ Railroad As*,eiation at the City if last evenir?, made the statement that President ‘Garrett last sammer proposed to the Baltimore | and Potomae Company that ifthey woullaban. | don their enterprise the Baltimor and Ohio Company would abandon the Point of Rocks road. The proposition was rejected by the | Baltimore and Potomac Company; hence “little oupleasantness” between the two li We have more than once expressed the fear that ® bargain of this sort might not only be pro- posed, but consummated; tence our objection to the District being left to the mercy of rail- road corporations that have no interest in our welfare, and may sacrifice usat any moment that they find it pays to do so. But it ix sym> satisfaction to know that the Baltimore ani Po- | tomae Company has thus far declined to dickor with the Baltimore and bio road. he | will be without a sufficient supply for the sim- | whieh properly belongs to him, by taking this | stand forth. and privileges to the people of Washington and | ritorial bill, were city officials—“ ins.” It seems that Commissioner Delano didn't promulgate his order to overhaul the stamp ac- counts of the Collectors of Internal venue any too s00n. Not soon enough, in fact; for now we | have information from New York that one of | the collectors in that c'ty is short in his cash | somewhere from $30,000 to $70,900,—the defi- | clency existing in the fund arising from stampe, | fold but not accounted for. The explanation of | | the affair is that the money was embezzled by adeputy collector, who has fled to Europe, and \ who concealed his operations for nearly a year by not sending forwardt the office here month- ly report No. 72, which would show the condi- tion of the stamp account, although this state- ment bad been regularly made out and signed for transmission by the Collector. Of course, the Collector or his sureties will be held for the deficiency —theoretically, at least, for not one bond in ten ot defaulting officers is ever prose- cuted to recovery. But the question arises in this case, as tt has in many others previously, how far is Government itself responsible for the loss? But for its own laches the loss could never have reached anything like its prosent | Proportions. The fact that the reports did not | come forward regularly was notice to the office | here that something was wrong; and the subor- dinate who failed to take advantage of that no- | tice was criminally negligent, and should at \cast be made to surrender his office to a more Vigilant successor. What the rule of law may be now we don’t know, but bye and bye, when the relations between government and goy- erned are better defined, some learned and up- right judge will be deciding that where the Gov- ernment fails to exercise “due diligence for its own protection the sureties of a defaulting of- ficer cannot b» held for losses sustained in such eases. There is one thing our city authorities can give their attention to with much more credit to themselves and far greater acceptance to the community at large than endeavoring to defeat the proposed change of government in the Dis- trict, and that is increasing the supply of water for the city. At present most of the houses sit- uated on high ground are without any of that wuch needed element on their upper floors for @ majority of hours in the twenty-four, and not & few of them have but a limited supply on their ground floors for a large portion of the time. If this state of things exists now, when the streams are full and the consumption in the city is comparatively light, what may we not | expect in the way of deprivation and inconve- | nience next suinmer, when both the legitimate demand and the per centage of waste are so much greater than in the winter season? Un- less something is done im this matter before the dry season commences, and unless some steps are taken also to prevent the criminal waste in these sections of the city where the flow is strong, one half of the families in Washington plest culinary and sanitary purposes before the summer fe half gone. Will somebody kindly let polities alone for a little while, and attend to some of the businoss subject vigorously in hand vetore a water fam- ine is upon us? Or is it any body's basiness to see that the health and comfort of the public are occasionally cared for? If so, let him He will be at once a sweet boon and a great curiosity. ——_—_—-s8e. Cxeek.—Is it not rather cheeky in our Cor- poration lawyer t» undertake to instruct veteran Senators of the legal acquirements and states- manlike ability of Messrs. Sumner, Hamlin and others as to the powers of Congress? That gen- tleman’s argument before the District Commit- tee was a curious attempt to show these Sena- tors that they are as green as grass if they sup- pose they have the right to give selt- -government to the people of the District. Is is not rather remarkable that the salaried attorney of the city and who is supposed to work in its interests, should go up to the Capitol and make @ laborad | argument to prove that Congress has not the constitutional nght to give enlarged powers the Disti The very best flour to be had in Cincinnati can be bought there for $5.50 a barrel.
