From Washington.
We have letters this afternoon from whole corps.
The views they give Of things in Washington are hghiy
interesting. Can any paper in this country show more
talent and industry than do the writer's Tor the Herald

WAsnISoToN, Septe mber Il, 1887.
In the course ofmy three last letters nuse eAaea
vored to shew by bringing TO bear upon he ISSUE the
most inconrovetbe proofs, lnat was never i, Sc
riously contemplated by Mr. van nuFeii, mat az me
measures recommended hisrecens message 10 Con-
gress, should be faithfully acted upon.
Every day occurrences transprc which tend to ear
ry out the truth ofmy charge 'riuhphanuy. ! nave
eroted and re- erated the expressions that when the
President was speaking through his official organ
The messaae-of the practicablly Of Congress pass
inr general bankrupt law that II was done bu for
eGsef7to accomplish some Interior object which he
had in vew-that his friends in Albany were too
LARGELY interested in the safety fund SYSTEM 10 suffer
dire aty or indirectly the passage of such iaw-that
had not mstated iacts-that was right IN the de-
ductons which had drawn from the previous acts OF
Mr.. Van Buren, is now shown 10 be correct, by an
occurrence which took place this morning
The chairman of the judiciary commttee--a gen.
tleman selected for that station b. the President
brought in resolution 10 TINS effect That ~ Is an
erpedic2 for Congress- this session. 10 legslae upon
general bankrupt law, mentioned by the Execu-
tivgn this message, and that the committee be dis
charged from the further consideration OF me SUD-
sct." What i this resolution but an open and pan
been adopted without the express wish Of Dir. Van
Buren, Is there not upon its very face the stamp Of
nsncerty, imprinted there by the Will OF the Presl-
dent calculated to deude and betray the honest COM
munity into belief that Congress was prosecuting
and peryertng the mandates OF the Executive! There
most assuredlyis. hey see the President working
one way, and both houses OF Congress pulling an
other But do the crsdulous community know that
this apparent contradiction is urged by the executive
himself-for the accomplishment, as said before, Of
some ultefior object No. They are ignorant OF
this important fact and until they have, by sad ex-
perience such proof as will no longer admit OF doubt
the truth of it can never be forced upon them.
Then after all we are to have no bankrupt law! NO.
we shall have nothing recommended by Mr.. Van
Buren-except it be the extension of time on the
merchants bonds. The Treasury scheme Is dead
even before it is brought into existence Inc gold
en- currency is in the same condition. The bull tor
withholding the fosrth nstalment, is III no better SIT
uation than any of the others now mentioned. What
then will Congress have done towards relieving the
endorsements of the country at large! Nothing
virtually nothing-lusi as much as Mr. van Buren,
intended from the first should be done. The House
will pass one acand that will be of grea' mpor-
ance either to the merchants or the people. 1t VIII
do this-and then adjourn over until the first OF De
cembcr next. There IS no dsposlt on among the
majority of the members to legisate for immediate
relief Local interest swallows up every consldera-
ton. There is no harnonisng upon the grand qies-
ton before the nation. The question is simply what can
be done for the benefit of my state, district or county
The feeling of local INTEREST," increasing with the hour
-wo hear of the south arrayng itself against
the interest of the north-the north against the
east-the east, the west-and so it goes, while
the welfare Of The country is forgotten, and her peo-
pie made suffer from the folly and madness of their
representatives.
The House is still discussing the old stationary
bill for Withholding from the States the foarh install
ment. Speeches speeches. .speeches--of two and
three hours in length, are all the so One member IS
no seated than up starts dozen others to get
the floor The members grow weary and leave their
places for the bar-room. The spectators follow su,
50 far as clearing goes and the orator IS left alone
IN his glory, spou,ing away to empty benches ana
sleenng chairman The farce of today closed with
the adjournment Of both houses-untll tomorrow. In
the Senate nothing done but making speeches
For day or two you must not expect to get from
this quarter much interesting matter. NO business
stirring There can be no interest excited.
