Arter a Tapid, but eloquent review of the general politi- cal situation, the speaker adverted ts the repab- lican cendidates for the House of Delegates in the oth, 0th, and lth districts, and said they are ably quailfied to represent the people in their local congress, and will look carefu:ly to the interests of their constituents. In concla- sion, he urged every one to vote for Gen. Chip- man, becatise he has honestly represented the District in Congress; because he has secured for the District extra appropriations amounting to nearly 3,000,000, and because he has projects looking to the promotion of the material inter- ests of the District which he will doubtless be able to carry out if ke is sent back to Congress for a second term.

A combination meeting of the voters of the 11th, 17th and Isth districts opposed to the elec- tion’ of Chipman, and in favor of what they cail “ reform in the District government,” was held last night at Island hall. The chair (Dr. Culver) made an opening speech outside, where | a stand had been erected, at the conclusion of which he announced that the hali had been pro- cured and lighted up for their use, and all were invited over, and were preceded by the band, (Deneh’s,) which performed @ lively air during the march there. After seating the crowd, most of which was composed of regular republicans, who were actuated by curiosity to hear what wasto be said and done, the chair introduced Obstructionist J.J. Coombs, who proceeded to tell the crowd what he knew about Congres- sioval Investigations. At the conclusion of his remarks, Mr. Norris took his hat and left the ball, seeming very much displeased at something. ; ‘Lhe next speaker was Mr. Hine, the nominee for Congress. He remarked that it was the pride and boast of all American citizens that they possess self local government. Two years ago they could boast of such rights. Now what have they? Under the present system all power is in the chief executive independent of the citi- zens. It is a dangerous experiment to surren- der the rigt of batlot which all had experienced to their sorrow. It is claimed that the citizens Lave the right to vote for membersof the House of Delegaics. What value was this rigt? The House of Delegates is like the fifth wheel toa coach. You will tind more real power delegated tothe people in any monarchical government than in this District. Delegates in Congress are only the agents, not the masters of the people. ‘They must obey the mandates of the people or they are soon hurled from their places by the people.

GEORGETOWN. ANOTHER CASE OF ALLEGED HEARTLESS- nese.—Yesterday afternoon, Officer Hess con- veyed to the almshouse, in this city, a destitate white boy, about fifteen years of age, without father or mother, named John Gordon, who had been employed on a canal boat, and who was heartlessly abandoned because he was no longer able to work. If the police would arrest a few of these brutal boatmen such offences would doubtless cease. Racs Orr.—It now looks as if the six-oared ig race between the Potomac and the Analos- tan boat clubs would not come off, owing to the inability ot the committees who were charged with making arrangements to agree as to the details. The challenge of the Potomacs to the Analostans for a four-oared shell race will be considered by the latter club at a special meet- ing to be held this week. Frove insrections.—Flour Inspector Peters inspected flour during the month of September last as follows:—Family, 4,058; extra, 883; sa- perfine, 487; fine, 249; and middiings, 82 barrels, total of all grades, 6,359. THE MILLS on the canal were ordered to sus- pend again for several hours this morning, the ostensible cause being low water in the canal. No wHeat on the market to-day up to noon. t GEAND OPENING coach. Speaking of the treasurer of the board of public works, an otlice, he said, created in violation of law, he stated that there is pot a disbursing officer in the whole coun- try who is not required to give heavy bonds for the faithful discharge of duty; but in this instance nothing of the kind is required. The epeaker criticised the rules of the board of | tonsa works; they put their prices at certain igures, and if contractors can be used by them they are given the covtracts; if not, they rejected. There is a law > ba tracts ee be even nat by 5 thi entirely by the ring.
