Correspondence Of The Cecil Vhig.
Letter from Washington.
WASHINGTON, Feb 81, 1919.

Mr.. EDlToR:-The proceedings of
Congress, and matters here generally,
are exceedingly interesting. AS usual,
Congress has put off action upon nearly
all the important measures before them
until the session is nearly through. The
Slavery question is the main cause of all
this inactivity. Yesterday afternoon,
Mr., EVANS, of your district, rose and
made most able, patriotic: sensible and
eloquent speech, fully setting forth, and
earnestly pressing the necessity of action
upon the Bill, in view of the uncared-for
condition of California. He spoke Of the
folly of discussing any longer matter
upon which every member of the House
had made up his mind. Mr. E has great
ly elevated himself IN the estimation of
the intelligent members Of the House by
this speech. After he had concluded, a
large number of the leading members of
that body offered HIM their congratuIa-
tons upon the success of his effort. Mr.
Evans holds an enviable position in the
House for young man. As a Mary
lander myself 1 felt very gratlfed at
listening 10 the valient remarks of Mr..
E., and the creditab'e conclusion ofthem
| have never heard Mr.. Evans make an
Indifferent speech. His speech seems
to have had the desired effect, for to-day
the House went right earnestly to work
and passed the above bill with the Will
mot Proviso to it, by % majority. It's
fate in the Senate is doubtful. The M-x-
lean Claim Bill is now under discussion.
The General Appropriation Bill has
for more than week occupied the Sen
ate to the exclusion of nearly all other
subjects. Several amendments have
been proposed to it and passed The
one providing for the extension of the
Revenue, Indian and other laws of the
United States over other territories, to
California, as proposed by Mr.. Walker
and modified by Mr.. Berrlen, Was passed
last night. A great deal of useless de-
bate occurred upon this important pro-
vision of the Bill before it passed, which
was useless except to the qualification of
the listeners.
The Senate to-day is engaged in con-
siderlng the propriety of raising the sal
aries of Foreign Ministers.
The city is full of rumors OF who are
to be the Cabinet. All except Mr.. Clay
toms appointment is in mystery yet; and
l will not occupy your space with use
less speculatlons upon that subject.
Strangers of every hue and grade are
to be seen here; and Washington is,
therefore, at this time, one of the most,
if not to true American, The most inter-
esting place in the world to be in. Many
of the rogues and pickpockets who have
swarmed here, have been arrested, whic h
has deferred them from any more very
bold demonstrations lately. They have
used the "knock-down argument" in sew
eral cases.
have never seen so many charming
ladies in my life in one place as may
be seen in Washington. They crowd
the galleries of both Houses of Congress,
and throng the streets What number
Of hearts will be affected at the grand
inauguration Ball!

The CoA,T suRvEY.-MR. PEARcE's
SPEECH Our readers will find in this
mornine's 4imeriren the ahle and w ell-timed
speech Of MIR Senator PEARcE, OF Mary
land on the subject Of tire Coast Survey, de
livered in the Senate Of the United States
on The seventeenth. 1t is a happy and
mos, successful defence Of the wise policy
of the Government, which, having ins'i,n-
ted The CoastSurvey many years ago upon
principles OF the highest science, still con-
'inues The annual appropriation necessary
to prosecute and to complete il upon the
grand scale ofthe original design.
Mr.. BENTON, of Missouri, had attacked
the whole system, as now conducted. In
the correspondence Of the Boston Courier
we find the following notice Of the debate
or this subject:
Mr.. Pearce of Maryland followed, re-
pc !, Mr.. Ben:on's assaults, and tore him
up, root and branch. His reply was per
feet eXtinguisher. He exhausted the sub
ject The result of the two days work con
sequenly was, that Fir. Benton accepted
substitute for his amendment, introduced
by Mr. Bradbury, on which the vote was f.
nally taken, and which was supported as
near as could be ascertained, by four ay es.
1t may be safely assumed that This grea,
work Of science, so important TO the naviga
ton of our coast, and upon the accuracy Of
which the safety of ships and the lives OF
seamen are so greatly dependent, will oe
carried steadily on without being interrupt
ed by cap'ious or qnerulous objections.
Thus far, The manner in which the Coas,
Survey has been prosecuted has been high
ly credtab!e to The scientific reputation Of
Me country. We may be assured, upon
the valid authority of Mr.: Pearces state
men's, tina, the industrious and accomplish
ed gentlemen engaged in it, are every
year adding 10 that reputation by new i'm
provemenls, many Of which are in advance
of The scientific progress oflhe age.
