Some ten days agoiwe went down 70
Washingtoo-to see oldfriends, TO talk over
politics and witness, ~ far - IN outsider
could do so, the extraordinary position Of
affairs there at present. We staid in the
great city Eve days, and in that brief period
We saw enough to satisfy US TINT personal
and political depravity never had such q hsr.
vest % they are now reaping in the Federal
City.
Offices are bought just a. openly - the
butcher buys the beef intended for his GUS
TONERS. Office brokers have the run OF tho
Senate ante chamber, OF the several Depart
ments and the Executive mansion; and the
actual sum of money to be paid for an Office
is a. publicly named by these brokers and
their clients, as the prices of dry goods are
named between dealer in those articles and
his customers. Corruption stalks through
the city not in disguise, but with unblushing
front and exalted mien; the time for vic 9
to seek dark lanes and private places for its
operations is gone by, and now men are
bought and sold, votes purchased, and all
the detestable traffic in the hopes, weakness
and sorrows of human nature 10 carried on
without shame. The cause of this great
change is plain to all Fraud rules the
Cabinet and the Senate. Fraud-deep,
malicious, infamous fraud upon the people
of the Union, upon Kansas. and especially
upon the Democratic party-is set I'M a. Of,
object of worship, The tecomuton fraud
has become another molten calf, and those
who have act il nm for vorship have scor-
rupted themselves, This is the god which
is worshipped ut Washington. TO secure
On homage to it, all men who hold Office are
obliged to swear that it Is the true god; all
men who hold Office ore taxed heavily Of
their monthly earnings to raise q fund to be
sent forth into the West to corrupt other
men all men holding Office who do mot
bow down and worship it are hurled from
their places. and other persons are chosen
who, having neither personal honesty nor
political principle. are willing to do any act
which will obtain reward in money.
In a half dozen rooms in the Capitol AZ
many Investigating Committees hold their
dailv sessions. These committees are en-
deay orinp to bring to light the crimes of the
DAYS gone by, and vet speculation and fraud
march through the halls of the Capitol, are
to be found in many of the Departments,
and boast of their daily operations. In
vestigation is blind to the enormities of the
present-it is too busy hunting old robberies
