SECRETARY SEwARD A CoPpnaHEAD.
The New York Tribune, which is
high authority as to what is "loyalty"
or "copperheadism," rates Secretary
Seward in the disloyal list. 1t says:
ale has done more to encourage aud
sustain the rebellion than TO defeat and
crush it." This is because he wrote to
Minister Adams that the door of the
Constitution should be kept open for
the return Of the rebels to their alle-
glance.

Shall give me welcome home.

FROM WASHINGTON.
,ponience ofthe Advertiser.

Correspondence ofthe Advertiser.
WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 18th, 1868.
EDITOR ADVERTISERS:
The week past has given some indca.
tious Of the excitement that will attend
organization Of the next House Of Rep.
rcsentatives. As the canvass opens, it
is found that nearly every State has its
candidate for some one of the offices to be
filed at the organization of tac House.
Indiana has her favori;e, for Speaker, in
tie person Of Hon. S. Co.fax. New
England will throw some votes eor one Of
her sons, but the prestige OF Mr. Coliax,
and his fitness, by experience, will prob
ably secure his election. T.. 2. Blair
expected to be prominent candidate for
Speaker, at one time, but recent events
have tended to depreclate Blair stock,
which never attained to higher dignity
than that Of "fancy" shares. New York
and Ohio will present candidates for the
clerkstip. Iowa has prominent candi-
date for Door Keeper in the person of
Hawkins Taylor, Esq, Of Keokuk. He
will be opposed By one or two gentlemen
from other States. The claimants for
the other Offices vii! be numerous, but
as they are Of less consequence, less in-
terest IS manifest as to who shall be the
successful parties.
The "bulls" have succeeded in run
ming up rents enormously. I will give
you one or two samples. A lady, having
the lease Of house on L st:eet, opposite
the p. o. Department, containing fifteen
rooms, in good repair, for which she pays
5000 the first year, and $500 each, for
two succeeding years, asks $4,000 as a
bonus for her chance. One would think
that she had not much of bargain for a
house of that size, in city of the size of
Washington, and in not very choice
location. A suit of two rooms, or parlors,
front and back, and furnished, command
from forty to eighty dollars per month.
These prices are very fair index of
what it costs here, now, for every thing
pertaining to the comfort or sustenance
of man. Provisions are awful high. 1t
