FROM WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, Tuesday, July ~ 1890.
The old jooIneymen Union savers, who pre-.
served the Republic in the year of grace 1850, are
again exercised in patriotic labor, screwng up the
Joints which have become lOosened about the king
dom Of South Carolina. Although the Castle
Garden Committee bas pot Issued its periodical
proclamation, still good many Of the ancient
ladies who were members of it, and Others have
undertaken to sir up the lethsrgic love Of country
which sflicts our people, despite the notes OF
alarm which are sounded Of impending danger.
In these parts, such efforts are not squsndered
If speeches are made dissOlving us, they are dc.
sigued for consumption elsewhere. And that you
may see Fremont is not so much Of bug bear
or bobgoblin after all, just take an Illustrative anec-
aote, which is worth cord Of asseveratiOns Two
Southern patriots were canvassing this awful sub
ject, which broOds like a nightmare on come
brains. One was quite certain the election Of
Dissolution - said the other; "why. in ninety
days after be entered the White House, there
"would be applicants enough for Office from vir-
''eiDia alone, which at toll of one dollar head
"for crossing the long bridge over the Potomac,
''wOuld furnish sufficient money to build the
"Wasbinpton Water Works." This argument
convinced the skeptic, and he 10 now hopeful the
Union may yet be saved.
All Washington has been sgog to- day with rt-
mOrs of war. Mr.. Burlingame's card produced
the expected effect, and it is believed led to the
preliminary arrangements for q hostile meeting.
Either in anticipation of such result, or perhaps
with some direct occasion for it, Mr.. Burlingame
retired to convenient spot, where he could be in
-. e. Al
time avoid the legal process which became certain
under the circumstances. He wss known to be
in the city last night however, at late hour.
Mr.. Brooks was arrested early this morning az he
was slightipg from carriage. These facts, tho
absence of Mr. Burlingame and Of Mr.. Bo0pck-
one of Br0Okss friends from tho House, together
with some other incidents, induced all manner Of
rumors, which are not worth repetition. No reia.
bic information has been obtained of the exact
condition of the case, because the parties have
doubtless determined to keep their own counsel
until the affair can be properly terminated.
1t is therefore worse than useless to spec
ulate as to the probabilities, or to rehash
absurd stories. Men who are in earnest on
such occasions are not apt to advertise their inten
tons, and consequently none but the. parties im-
medately concerned can be well informed OF the
intended plans. The whole character Of the con-
troyersy between South Carolina and Massachu-
and in adopting the course which he has done,
Mr.. Burlingane has acted under sense Of NOR.
tilted pride at the indienities put upon his State,
and with the high impulse of man who felt him
self in part accountable for the vndicatiOn Of her
honor. To realize his position, it would be neces-
ssry to have heard the eers and taunts which have
found almost daily utterance since the Sumner a.
sault and to have known how every act Of Massa-
chusetts men has been distorted into craven con.
cesson. 1t was only natural that some brave
champion should take up the gauntlet, which has
been so repeatedly thrown down, and offer the
opportunity that has been so osen professedly
sought Wien this affair is settlsd-as hope II
will be without blocd--arrogsnt 7retensien may be
less lordly in its gait.
We who have been suffering through extremes
OF cold ard heat, are charmed at the prospect OF
release f., IN this imprisonment. The House fo,.
lowed cut the indication yesterdsy, and amended
the Senate resolution for adjournment BY insert
ing the 18th Of August by majority Of seventy.

concurrence was carried aithsas a change o.
