The agony is over-the long session has termi ted
and ere this many of the prominent actors are
making their way as fast as they from this hot,
dusty, overgrown village. The scenes presented in
both houses, the meridian hour drew near, were
unique. II your reporters have succeeded in giving
even faint idea of them, they deserve credit In the
Senate there evident struggle to prevent the
rules from being suspended to render 1t mpossi-
bic for the President to sign the oregoa bill Nothing
would have prevented this game from being carried
out, but the fact that it would kill several other
measures-among them the army bill. The South

that moderate shipments of specie to Fra will

WASHINGTON, Nov. %, 1913
MIR. Elitor: To talk Of the policy oil proscrlp-
ton Tor opinions sake, as one in conflict with
the spirit of Republicanism, seems to fill the
minds Of Wing Editors and Wing expecants
with horror and surprise. IL is spoken of as a
new artle in The creed oil Democracy. Now
we hold 70 The present administration as an ex-
ample to the Wings. Yes, we challenge any
man, 10 accuse The administration OF Mr. Polk,
lruthtuny oi carrying out an extensive system Of
prescription. Why, there was an auditor IN The
Treasury Department, who has held The office Tor
a long seies OF wears, and who was an ultra
wing, and although pumberless applications were
made Tor his Office By Democrats who had claims
upon the patty, and paper handed The PfesI-
dent signed b. l2S members OF Congress asking
his removal. he was retained Though opposed
10 The administration, he had faithfully dlschar-
ged the dulis of his office, and be vas not pro-
scribed for entertaining an honest OPINION
Some of the most profitable situations in Wash
ington are hid By Whgs-yes, and ultra Wings
too Five oi of the seven chief clerks in the
Bureaus of he Treasury Department alone are
Wings. With what grace then can the Admin
islration be accused Of PaoscRIPTios' That the
friends of Gen.ral Taylor should ask removals
from office, wien they SO solemnly vowed be-
fore the election that the old man was entirely
opposed TO the Whole system, does seem prepos-
tercus and absurd It may be recollected that
General Taylor in one Of his letters said, that
he should be pl.ased to see Mr.. Calhoun Pres-
dent. | hear fom the very highest authority
that the Sscretayship Of State will be rendered
TO that distinguished statesman, and the Navy
Department to Mr.. Hilllard Of Alabama.
II is rimoTed hat Truman Smith received a
letter from General Taylor, prior 10 The election,
in which he says, that as 10 prescription he
was most unqua ifedly opposed-but The sage,
Truman, declind publishing The Generals
views as he lear,d MANY votes might be lost by
he developments. Th, give you as rumor.
Bul dn know, hat one of The most influential
members Of Congress, one OF The original Taylor
men, told gentleman Of this city, shortly after
The adjournment Of The Philadelphia Convention,
that he kneao Gen. Tayur's views on that point
| and that no man could be in his ca bnet who did
mol unite with him in pulling down the "spoils
party.
