ss1ENCH RINGG0LD,
Marshal Of the District Of Columbia 2
JANUARY 81, 1880.
This ORDER, presume, sir, Is the germ Of
al the Court formalities that now obtain at
the palace. But these Court ceremonies
are offensive to tho taste and feelings Of PLAIN
republicans They answer no good end; and
trust the day IS not far remote when the
President Of the United States will discover
that TO obtain and retain the respect of the
American People It will not be necessary TO
PRACTISE THE AIRS AND ADOPT THE FORMS
WHICH PREVAIL AT THE BRITIsH CoURT.
Let us return, Mr. Chairman, to the
focus in quo, or rather .Iocus crimini8
the place where this crime against the sim.
plicity Of republican manners1 has been
commtted-tho Green Yellow Drawing
rooms. / have too wide a field, as yet,
before me to consume much of the time of
this committee in attempting to describe
the gorgeous splendor of the window cur
tains and other drapery; the dazzling mag.
ni6eenee of the large gilded mirrors, mantela
glasses, chandeliers, candslabras, French
bracket lights, and mantel ornaments: The
smooth and beautiful Italian slab centre tn
bIes; the rich and luxurious damask satin
covered chairs, bergeres, sofas, French
comfortables, Turkish ottomans and divans,
aud brilliant imperial carpets, and other
shining garnishmenis with which these SUI
perb drawing rooms are adorned. II may be
sufficient TO say that The lustre and elegance
of their interior would no doubt dazzle, I'll
they did not blind, the eyes of Slamm, Bang,
and Ming, the celebrated locofoco rulers Of
Tammany Hall. The Green and Yellow /
Drawing rooms have been greatly beantifed /
and improved since the retirement of Gen.
Jackson. find amongst the vouchers of
the Treasury Department bill of @. Alex
ander, for materials, &c, for the Presidents |
House, from the llth Of March, 1897, till |
the 10Th May, 1887, 81 ], 087 % part Of this
amount, viz 1856 6S4, was for the Green
Drawing-room. The latter sum, amongst
other charges, includes, includes one item
for thirty pieces Of SILVER PAPER, s 100, and
one other item for 90 CARDS Of green silk, |
sos.
But, sir, without stopping to inquire how
vastly that silrer paper and green SILK must
have improved the Green Drawing-room, /
will proceed to read two other bills ormore
substantial, and not less ornamental inn
provements.
