WASHINGTON, Sept. Is, 1887
In common with almost every place in
the country, you have probably heard the
thousand and one rumors in relation TO
Mr.. Calhoun. The Richmond Enquirer,
as perhaps you have seen, calls upon the
friends Of the administration to treat him
tenderly. Mr.. Calhoun, or the friends of
the administration, probably will not take
the Enquirer for their advice. Another
recommendation Of the Enquirer is, that
Messrs. Rives aud Benton shall both put
Satan behind them, and come forth to aid
in preserving the harmony and unity of
the party. The Richmond Wing has come
out in support of the sub-treasury scheme.
The Madisonan fights more zealously
than ever against it; and the breach be-
tween the conservative and Van Buren,
men and the loco Van Buren, men, is daily
growing wider and wider. Mr.. Rives, as
! have already, | believe, informed you,
has said that the message of the EXecu-
tive contains no accommodation for the
reliefof the country; and what was holder
still, has said publicly in his place, that
the Committee on Finance,-consisting
you know, Of Messrs. Wright, Benton,
hubbard, Nicholas, and Webster, with
one exception all administration men,.
have also reported no bill which will re-
Iieye the country: he has, therefore, prom !
ised to report bill which he believes will
relieve the country. Mr.. James Garland.
OF Virginia, has also promised to do the
same. At both ends Of the capitol, there
fore, counter reports will be presented TO
the consideration Of both houses of Con-
gress. Mr.. Rives will assume the respon-
slbllity Of the report in the Senate, and
Mr. Garland the report in the House.
The Wings will present no plans of their
own, knowing that such plans would only
protract the session Of Congress, and end
in defeat.
This, then, is the position of parties in
Congress and in the country have said
thus much about them, only in reference
to the rumors in circulation about Mr..
Calhoun So far as I can learn. he. and
ofcourse most Of the few friends who have
for few years past acted with him, will
support the scheme recommended in the
message Of the Executive, and the report
of the Secretary Of the Treasury for the
enforcement Of the Banks from the Gov.
eminent. In letter Just written to the
editor Of the Alexandria Gazette, he saws
that necessity has driven Mr. Van Buren,
into this scheme--the sub-reasury scheme.
which is similar to that recommended bv
him (Mr. c. as long ago as 1884.
Today, in some few remarks before the
Senate, he SAID that now was the time for
enforcement, if enforcement was ever TO
take place. enforcement or national
bank was his language, and the former he
seems to prefer to the latter. He refers
TO his celebrated speech of 1884 for his
present opinions, which he says are unal.
tered. On Monday next he has promised
to make long speech, which will give
his opinions in full upon all the measures
before the Senate, and that time, therefore.
all must await who are anxious to hear
the views OF a great statesman upon a
matter OF immense public interest. | have
been thus particular in reference to Mr..
Calhoun, because so many rumors are in
circulation concerning him. lie will not
support the administration, believing as
he says he does, the administration are
not honest in their recommendation of the
new scheme, which is to separate the
banks from the States or from the rovern-
ment.
