The princi- pal points of superiority are as follows: 1. Inthe Wright machine the broom ts com- posed of so many Snirals as to be substantially a cylinder, some portion of which {fs always on the paveioent; in the Smith machine there are only three spirals, touching the pavement tn succes- sion, and they sometimes skip a portion of It 2 In the Sintth machine the broom does not Ject beyond the wheel; the line of dirt is therefore passed over by the rear wheels, and 1s sometimes compressed to such an extent ‘that the sweeping Machine will not remove it.

Tae advan- ages of his machine were not worth the price, and the contract was awarded to Cranford. The difference in bids now is less than $1,000 perannum. In my it the advan' are worth that price. Mr. Wright will make @ contract at the same price as Cranford’ had the contract before,and during Cranford’s contract, Ihave no dott the may be, until the its streets every night of onge & week, the average,as at present. ate ae it seems provided the price 1s cision is made.” — Home Insurance.

BACON—STONE PASHA'S CONNECTION WITH DISTRICT TROOPS, &0. There appears to be considerable Opposition to ‘the proposed reorganization of the military com- panies of the District into a brigade. Most of them are now incorporated organizations under ‘the general incorporation act. They claim to be, ib a measure at least, independent, and it ts as- serted that the War department has no control Over them. Indeed, some of them have at thes refused point blank to obey orders of officers of the army, as was the case of the Unton Veteran Corps ‘on the occasion of the review of the Army of the Potomac, Capt. Thomason clatming It as hisright, as hiscommand was composed of Grand Army men. to march on the right of the Grand Army of the itepublic. ‘The ‘National Rifles have declared that they will not consent to bec pare Of any new organization, but otuer organiations have not as yet taken action. ONE ADVANTAGE OF THE PROPOSED REORGANIEA- TION. Many members of the existing organtzations are in the employ of the gor ment, and heretofore, when absent from their in the departments Going escort duty, have had the time charged against them. “If” said a member of the In fantry, “the proj reorrapization will place us under the command of the War and if those in other departments who Woutd be permitted to ab-ent themselves without belng charged for the tine, then the change should be approved.” As it ts now, When | We respond to the call of the government, we nob | Only lose the time, but have to employ’ music, | 8nd every parade costs us heavily. That last pa- rade cost Us about $400, 2nd our men in the de | partments were docked’ for the time. This Bot the case with members of the Veteran all of whom were excused In the departments, the reorganization will enable men to without being docked for time, 1t will be an vantage. The corps now is ah independent ganization, and I velteve that the Rifles and Vi ran Corps are on the same Tooting.” THE DISTRICT MILITIA BEPORK THE Wan. Mr. Edward Simms was asked about bis reco lections of the District militia of ante-bellum days, and said: “There were a number of unt- tormed companies tn extstence before the wat,and We then hud a mitiua law under which there Were Orills and musters, but the law was nob When Lafuyette came here, over years ago, there was much activity ‘as to formed companies, I joined a of horse then forming, Of which the Lite Col.

The untiormed militia has had tts ups and downs, and is ally popular. Gen. Weizltman succeeded Gen. Walter Jones, and Col. W. B Randolph was the adjutant general. Under Gen. Weightman’s com- mand the volunteer companies were fostered and 4 regiment was formed, of which Col Wim. Hickey: Was for many years the commander. Gen. Peter F. Bacon, who bad been long connected with the uniformed companies, succeeded Col. Hickey. and the companies becoming quit» numerous—the Light Infantry having a b.ttalion of four com- —_ under Col. Davis, the National Guards a ‘talion Of three companies under Col. Jomes A. Talt,and several other Grganizations being added— A BRIGADE ORGANIZATION Was effected. Gen. Peter F. Bacon was the com- mander, and he held a commission of brigadier general when the late war broke out. Col. C. P. Stone, afterwards general, and later, in the Ezyp- tian army, Stone Pasha, was made the adjutant general of District militia at the first of President Lincoln’s administration. Under his call—the Light Infantry leading—the three months’ enlist- ment of District men was started, and they were posted for the protection of the capital “I sup pose,” said this oMfcer, “that Gen. Bacon suc- ceeded Gen. George C."Thomas, as he had suc- ceeded Gen. Weightman. The legislature ot the District passed a militia law in August, 1871, and I believe that Col. Webster holds under’ that law the position of adjutant gencral. ‘The law under which we had previously acted was that of 1808, Which was amended in 1812.
