WASHINGTON LETTER WRITERs.-Tbe
following extract of letter from Washing

zepe, ought to be noted by the conductors
of those journals who are daily in the prac-
tice Of inserting their correspondents letters
filled with scandal Of the most improbable.
kind. The authors Of The late story about
Gov. Cass, should never be permitted again
to pollute a newspaper with their trash.
Some weeks since, / took the liberty of
saying to you, that too much dependence
should not be placed in the tales that are
obtained for the Washington political mar
ket. The fact is, and in admitting it, do
not mean to be personal, that there are at
Washington too many individuals, who for
the want of actual scandal, manufacture it
out Of the raw material. Nor is this all.

Mr.. Minturu complains tina, Dlxson pub

his death, and that since his decease Dxson
| had published gross libel on his memory.
The m acistrate then ordered Dixson TO find
bail in the sum of three thousand dollars,
on each Of the complaints. As Dxson con-
sdered the required bail excessive, he np-
pealed to the Court Of Sessions to have it
Iessened. The Court heard Mr.. Shaler in
support of Dixson's application, and the
District Attorney and Mr.. Blunt in opposit-
ion to it, and decided that the required bail
was not excessive and shouli not be lessen
ed. Mrs. Adeline Miller, (mo,hcr Of the
late Miss Mssour) was then proffered as
bail for him, and she was examined on oath
as 10 her competency, and having sworn
that she was possessed Of property to the a
mount of $4,000 and upwards, her bail
was taken and Dixsoa was liberated. lie

SUMMARY OF Mr.. BIDDLE's LETTER.
Mr. Biddle has again written letter, and
a letter to John Quincy Adams. The whole
series would be worth publishing in juxta-
.p"sition-they would incontes,ibly prove
the following facts: 1. We did not over
trade in 1886. 2. We were reduced Ia
great distress in 1887, by previous overtrn-
ding, and therefore ought to devote all our
means to the settlement Of the foreign debt.
3. The Banks ought not to resume specie
payments till another crop had been realis-
ed, aud another National Bank chartered ;
otherwise resumption would be fruitess and
temporary. 4. |, Nicholas Biddle, have
been the great cause Of the resumption,
have saved The Banks, saved the Govern
ment, saved the planters, saved the Nation
and having thus set all the rest of the world
right, ] shall take the universe from off my
shoulders, set it down again on the back oI
Brahmic elephant, from which benevo-
1ently lifted it, and shall nnw retire to the
shades of State banking, from which the
necessities of mankind had drawn me-
This is Mr.. Biddle's lsst.-Chds. Mer.

when we next make than, if this petition be
jected, it shall be with steel pen and in red ink"
Such sentences as these were received with tenn
pest OF applause, and whether the hearers would
have acted not, it is certain that their feelings
were wrought to the highest pitch of excitement.
Under the operation of tho reform bill, called
the great maj ority of the subjects of the British
crown, find their condition very little better than
under the rotten borough system. We forget the
SUBJ ect of debate, but it was recently said the
House of Commons, by tory member, in his
pace--EThis louise, l contend is not and never
was, repres entation OF the people o. England-.
The English constitution knows, in fact, such
branch OF government as popular representation
The House of Commons, like either the King or
the House of Lords, is but one of the Three Els.
taes." This sentiment was repeated by another
member of the same party Mr. y Council remark
ed in substance, "that the assertion literally
correct" In an aggregate population Of about
thirty millions Great Britain, there are less
than eight hundred thousand men who entitled
TO vote, and Of this number it ia estimated that at
least two hundred thousand for various reasons
may not exercise the privilege so that only one
fifth of the people have even nominal representa-
ton in single branch of the government.
In this state of things, without voice in max
ing their own laws, saddleG with national debt
verging thousand millions sterling, bled by an
army of nearly hundred thousand men within
their own borders, and ridden by q church estab-
lishment costing more than the Evangelism of all
Chrisendom, 1t cannot be matter of surprise that
the intelligent and industrious classes of the Brit
ish Islands should demand a change in their politi-
cal institutions, radical change, and them
selves TO exact it, in the event of refusal.
1t is we'll known that the Charter does not en-
brace the ulterior views of its advocates 1t is the
mere corner stone OF n new government fabric, of
temple for the equal rights and privileges of all
the people With satisfactory means of infoFma-
lion, however, we do not anticipate any violent
meas ures, at any early period. Still no phIloso-
phical observer can for a moment suppose that the
cause Of the Chartists will retrogade. Among
them great and daring spirits, men who can al
once excite and direct popular enthusiasm, and
who have given full proofs, as well OF their ply
steal courage of their mental power. To avert
the caamities of bloody revolution, which every
humane and judicous observer, both abroad and in
England would anticipate with horror, we believe
to be the sincere desire of the Chartist leaders,
Notwithstanding the menacing language uttered by
few Of their plumber. 1t is the opinion of many
rejecting of all parties that the popular feel
ings excited must continue TO extend, and the
propositions for thorough rsform BIO adopted by ac
quescence in the wishes of majority too power
iul to be successfully resisted.

The SEMINOLE WAR ENDED! Don't be alarm
ed reader, it looks very much as lift is true This
war has assumed such contrariety of aspects since
it commenced that we are gOd TO any thing that
even indicates settlement Of 1t. The late dates
from Florida bring us the intelligence of treaty Of
peace entered into by Gen. Macomb and tho Semi
nolo Chief, Chitto-tustonuggee, by the terms of
which the Indians are TO remain in possession Of
their territory. So after expanding 20 or 80 mill
ions in this foolish affair the United States glad
to end the matter where it began The toad has
got TO the bottom of the well by jumping up two
feet each night and falling back three each day. for
three years. Every body will rejoice, except the
partizan fayorites-the army contractors, who have
fat'ened upon the spoils. SO much for the policy
of attempting to drive the Indians, against their
wishes, from their righteul and just inheritance
poor, degraded remnant of once powerful tribe,
numbering 1000 or 1000 souls, has been host in
the contest, and come of victorious.
Our Indian will now be transferred to- the
Western frontier, where various tribes have been
driven, and whereEexists the apprehension of daily
attacks. To carry out the plan presented at the
last Congress for the defence of citizens in the
extreme west, an expense ofhundreds of thousands
il not millions of dollars annually will be required
To keep peace with them before, it required only
that should render them Justice.
P.S. Since the above was in type we have seen
an explanation o. Gen. MS arrangement, which,
with the declaration Of the Globe, that ''he
authorized TO enter into any negotiation by which
the Indians would secure a permanent residence"
on their territory, seems 10 indicate that the sus-
pension of hostilities is only temporary. AS the
Globe is the organ of the cooks of the "ktchen
Cabinet" the arrangement may be considered only
as the end of Part First of the Seminole war

1J7The story has been passing the round of the
Van Buren, papers, pretending to be taken from the
New York Herald, that the merchants of the City
of New York, had given Daniel Webster $75 900.
In the Herald Of June l. this story is conuadicted,
and it is distinctly stated that Mr. Webster raised
few thousand dollars, and gave security, mort
gage real estate, sort of property, it has been
understood, he is in possession of to considerable
amount So that out of a common every day bus
mess transaction the Van Buren, papers doubtless
have amused their intelligent, and humbugged their
'credulous readers. They would perhaps have Mr.

LATER PRONE VIRGINIA.

PGooD Coon /! VERY Goop!t
The Richmond Compiler, neutral paper, states
that the Wings and Conservatives have carried the
House of Delegates by TWENTY MAJORITY Wings
67-Conservatse s 10--Loco Focos 81.
The Richmond Wing of the subsequent day
confirms this account. The Wings and Conserva-
tives will therefore have majority of SIXTEEN on
joint ballot of both houses.
All that we have given above is well confirmed
save there appears TO he little doubt about the
Harrison District. 1t is little uncertain whether
Camden or Johnson is elected-f the latter the
Congressional Ticket, will stand 10 Wings, II Lo.
co Focos. Some of the Loco papers concede Cam.
den's election.
The Richmond Enquirer, says the Atlas, has
been sadl, at fault in its calculation respecting the
members of Congress. 1t boosted that Garland,
Hopkins, Hunter, and Taliaferro were to be beat
on, and their places supplied by ''snk or swim
Loso Focos. The result is that the Wings have
gained four members, compared with the last
election, including Barton, of whose success not
a doubt is entertained
The great contest throughout the Sta,e-a strug-
gle which has absorbed other quesons-has been
for the Legislature. Here the Wings and Conser-
vatives have gained glorious triumph.
Ten members of Congress at least, and sixteen
majority in the Legislature fare the fruits of the
victory
