WAsHISGros, Feb. 9th; 1860.
DsAR EDlsoa The wheels Of Government
are beginning to roll again. MeE breathe
easier-women laugh more gaily, and Wash
ington is glittering and flashing again 10 the
sunlight of prosperity. Poor heart-sick
ofice-seskers are leaving on every train for
home. deeply suppressed with the truth Of y
the adage, that ssRspublics are ungratefui."
Some idea Of the great number Of disap-
pointed men may be had from the fact that
there we're more than Eve hundred applica-
tions for situations under Forney, the Clerk
of the House, while the whole number OF
places at his disposal. does not exceed thirty.
The Doorkeeper has the appointment Of
all the pages and the hands employed in
the folding room, besides number
OF under doorkeepers; and, no doubt the
number Of applicants for his favor was sev-
eral thousands. am much surprised that
the mothers here are SO anxious to get their
boys appointed pages, they must be short
sighted indeed, for a pageship in the House,
is one of the best highways to ruin they
could possibly start them in. The Standing
Committees Of the House were appointed
to-day, and will soon be hard at work.
The Pacific. Railroad will occupy very
prominent place in Congress this session,
and Iowa will be very well represented
in the struggle between the advocates OF the
rival routes. IS& 80
The political "pipe layers" are busy pre-
pairing for the grand campaign but the
shrewdest men in both parties are very cha i.
ry Of expressing an opinion as to who will
be the successful men at Charleston and
Chicago. Very little reliance can be placed
in the confidential dispatches, so often sent
to the leading journals of the country by
sour special correspondents" These are
mere guess work at best, and most Of them
are as wide from the truth, as SLATE supper
dreams' are from healthful digestion. If
James Buchanan is telling the truth when
he says he will not be a candidate, Douglas
and 10. Lane probably have the best chances
the Little Giant having the inside track
There is q prevailing impression here that
Seward will not be the Republican nominee.
The weather is magnificent and crinoline
is sweeping the avenue in all its extended
glory. Hops are coming of every night,
and the Presidents levees are well attended.
DR.. Scudder is lecturing on India at the
Smithsonian Institute. Murdoch the TRACE
dian has been here and gone, he is now
playing in Baltimore. The Washington
theatre is a small affair. The Post Office
appropriation bill passed the House speedily
but sticks badly in the Senate, owing to it,
being incumbered with measures foreign to
it, by the Senate committee, o clause for the
abolishins of the franking privilege being
one of these measures.
Senator Harlan and lady arrived here last
Saturday and received q warm welcome

It will be seen from the report, that Bald

$3.50 SO, and If we deduct the 81 ~ inter-
est on the amount paid Hem, Williams d

Does Mr.. Rabbit, deduct the Interest we
paid the city in his statement OF amount OF

If he will deduct $367,6S interest ice paid
the city from the amount he falsly charges

his $500 interest which he charged US with

dwindled down to the correct amount $751;

We will az ain state that the city counc'

Mr.. Editor.--ws wish to reply through
the columns Of your paper in as few words
as possible, to the two column article in the

Dodge, A. to the charges Of "swinding'
,sskulduggery" &C., with which the article

Editor Of that paper know that it is his usu
al way Of creeping out Of bad scrdpe, and
are but the imaginations of his own corrupt
and polluted mind. We regret BY making
the simple statement that Mr.. Peter R. Reed
is not and nerer scas partner of ours, gives
the lie to so great abortion of his article
but such is the truth, and if he will but
turn to the old files of his paper, he will
there learn who composed the firm of Bald
win Dodge & Co.
We will further state that zee know Peter
R. Reed was not the purchaser Of any por-
ton Of the City Bonds, but that they we're
sold by him for the City to Hamilton White,
Of Syracuse, N. Y. and for which sale the
city Justly allowed him compensation
We will state once more for the informa-
ton of Mr.. Rabbit, that we placed the
money arising from the sale of the Bonds
to the credit of the city, at the time was
received and We dare him to prove the con-
trary. One word in regard to the interest;
