Washington City, as our readers must have no.
ticed, has recently been very bad tempered not to
say bellicose. In that august capital there has
been a rainy season of challenges. Either the
water or the whisky or the whisky and water has
had an iLAammstory effect upon the gorge of sun
dry soldiers and statesmen. Mr.. Clay has burned
10 shoot Mr.. Cullom; Col. Sumner has been in
satpetersh mood; Lieut.. Rhnd has painted to de-
stroy Com Boutwell, Lieut.. Bell has thirsted for
the blood of Lieut.. Williams; and the parties hav
ing. according to rule retired to the historical
field Of Bladensburg, Lieut.. Bel has severely
wounded Lieut.. Williams-in the hat There WAS,
however, no saDguinary efusiOn. The ball evil
IDENTIFY went in search of brains, and, not finding
any, cOntented Itself with demolishiDg the beaver.
So in the oden time did the unerrng aim Of Mr. Clay
spoil fine, new dressing-gown worn by John Ran
dolph the sage of Roanoke preferring to enter the
CORY field clothed in that light and easy garment.
Up to this moment Of writing no blood has been
shed, and nothing has been wounded save the head
gear aforesaid. After the ruin of his chspeau the
gallant Lieutenant protested himself in the highest
degree satisfied bis antagonist, after having made
the fur hy, also expressed his sense of the calm
which had come over his recently perturbed soul;
and then principals, seconds and surgeons, waving
olive branches, returned TO drink and TO dinner.
There could not have been more sensible DISPOSE
ton of the affair. Merely considering
physiological fact. we ask how could Lieu
tenant No. have taken his soup with an
ounce OF lead of chilly lead, in mis- throat How
could Lieutenant No. have swallowed bis daily
driDhs-bis punches, bis snsshes, his iuleps, his

ceyed plumbeous deposit in his chest! We dc
not speak from personal experience, but our pri-
yate opinion publicly expressed il, that it is pleas
anter TO eat than to be shot and that the coffee for
two must be infinitely preferable TO the coffin for
one. So We congratulate this brace of fire-eaters
upon the fact that they have not been forced to
consume any fire. Far be it from US to distrust
their courage. They could. doubtless, without
hinchng, roll red-hot Goals a. sweet morsels under
their tongues. But that inhammatory species Of

Mayor Tiemann will not sign the application of
| the Common Council to the Legislature for leave
| TO lease small plot of ground on which to build
the Woman's Hospital. He says truly that the
sitys real estate is pledged for the redemption OF
the public debit that is, for the redemption Of some
ten or twelve millions Of stocks public property to
ten times the value is set apart and not to be dis
posed Of, except by public SALE without Legislative
permission. Mr. Tiemann's consent to ask this per-
Dis,ion is all that the friends of the institution re-
quested The policy ofthe Mayorwould have prevent
ed the establishment of every hospital and charitable
institution in the city. He admits theimportsnce of
the institution and is kind enough to say that if
any patients come there who are paupers he would
approve a donation from the city funds to support
them, if without such help they would be charge
upon the public bounty. We presume the Mayor
is well aware that while no worthy patients are re-
jected because they are poor, great many, both
poor and rich have been reluctantly refused be-
cause there was no room for them. No money. no
property in fact. was asked for; the application
was simply for the use of small block Of ground
on which to erect building the title still to remain
in TIE city, all the donation being nominal In
stead of al actual charge for rent. The ground Is
at present without value; it is part of the old

bodies. which must be removed at great expense to

many good reasons for securing to this city an in

drawing bther, as it must, the professional talent
of the whole country to profit by the remarkable
discoveries which have given it existence. 1t is
scarcely probable that the Common Council, who

will allow this merely technical objection of the

through the action of Congress,
backed by the President and the
Federal Army;
