LETTER FROM WASHINGTON.

Ser ator Brownlow, of Tennessee,

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct 18th. 1862.
Senator Brownlow, of Tennessee, is
in such extreme poor health that it is
almost certain that he cannot much
longer continue in the United States
Senate. In view Of this, Emerson
Etheridge and Andrew johnson have
made an agreement whereby the for
mer has agreed to aid the latter in his
Senatorial aspirations, with the under
standing that when Browliow dies Mr..
johnson will help to elect Etheridge as
his successor. Such is the report, and
| If it be true Andrew johnson will be
the next Senator from Tennessee. A
bitter dill for the Impeachers in the
Senate and the Radicals generally to
swallow, but they will be compelled to
take medicine equally as nauscous be-
fore this administration is thoroughly
purged.
Private telegams have been sent
from here to New York stating that

In these days of clamor for woman s

shrilly demand admission, on foot
ing of perfect equality, to all univer-
sity honors aud to all the heretofore

gins try to hustle their way into the

refreshh g to witness the success of
those who, discarding such unnatural
notions, employ themselves in giving
to girls that education which fits
woman for h,r proper sphere-teaches
her to adOrn while she eleyates the
social circle, TO make home happy by
her accO mplis hments aud virtues.
On last Wednesday morning, we
had the pleasure of being present at
an exhibition that suga ested these
thoughts. 1t was at ST. Ninceut's
Academy, in this county. The insti-
tuition IS, by degrees, recovering from
the effects of the late war. The num-
Der and appearance of the students,
and the concourse of friends from this
aud the adjoining counties, and of pa
irons from the neighboring States,
furnished convincing proof of this
fact.

The college year of 80 has quickly

exercises are being enjoyed. Wabash

thirty-frst class, and, without being
at all strong minded, the dear little

institutions in our great State, though
she graduates a small class this year.

were less affected with the trembling

to cease.

The workmcn in the Navy Yard at
Washington were locked for the lost
time on the day of Secretary Rawlias'
funeral. The Secretary of the Navy
ordered the work shops closed on that
day, hence the workmen were thrown
out of employment. This order extend
ed to the clerks in the department, but
their pay went on the same as though
they had been at their desks in the
performance of duty. Note the differ
encc Between workmcn and the employees
in the Office of the Secretary of the
Navy. A workmanis locked for a days
absence, even when the workshops are
closed for that time by directions of the
Secretary of the Navy, upon any public
occasion, or to do honor to the dead. as
in the case of the late Secretary Raw
Inns. A clerk is not locked for DAYS
absence. A chief clerk is not locked
for weeks absence. An Assistant
Secretary is not dock ed for months
absence. The Secretary can be absent
as much as he plcases, and take pleasure
excursions in Government vessels, and at
the public expense, and his salary is not
curtailcd a dollar. The President of
the United States can be absent from
Washington for weeks at a time, junket-
ing over the country, attending horse
races at one place, dancing parties at an
other, hobnobbing with the merchant
princes in New York, and eating gener-
GUS dinners whenever he can get the
chance, but no order comes for dock
ing his wages. All these men are the
employees of the Government alike;
their time while in the public employ
is the property of the Government, and
why, the inquiry naturally arises, make
fish of one and flesh of another IF a
workman is locked, although ready and
willing to work, because the Secretary
of the Navy or any other official has
ordered the workshops closed for day
in honor of some public occasion, why
should not the clerks and other employees
of the Government be locked for the
time lost, when the public officers arc
closed for day for the same reason?

Republican newspapers, in discussing
our tariff laws. They say those laws
are so clearly unjust and Ubiquitous as
to preclude all supposition that congress
did what it believed to be its duty in
enacting them.
The same newspapers make a similar
acknowledgements in speaking ofthe ex-
emption of manufactures from taxation.
When the tariff laws were passed, it was
pretended that they would enable the
manufacturers to bear heavy taxation,
and would thus operate to relieve other
taxpayers. On many articles the tariff
has been increased, and the specific tax
imposed on the manufacturers has been
taken off. This was dishonest legisla-
ton. It oppressed the country for the
benefit Of a class and it has be m sever, "
censured by the press of the ruling par
".
In paying premium of % per cent
on the bonds purchased, Secretary Bout
well is cheating the taxpayers of 81
100000 ON every so. 000, 900 bonds he
buys. He is acting under the authority
of a law of congress which says the
bonds arc payable in currency, but
which prohibits him from SO paying
them
1t is dishonest to pay $50. 900 in
interest to the national banks when this
amount could be saved by substituting
trea,ucy notes for the bank circulation.
1t is dishonest to exempt the immense
amount of capital invested in govern
ment bonds, bearing heavy interest, pay

HONESTY or TIE PfPTyFS.

There IS an uprising against the bar
nacles in Cincinnati very similar to the
one in Chicago, and very fair prospect
that the Republican ring of ofiec-hcld-
ers in that city will be defeated in the
eorri2g election
Aside f'om question: of PARTY organi-
cation and discipline, national issues
have nothing 80 do with lscal elections
and the growing disposition Of the poo
pie to ignore party, and condemn rings
and rascals when voting for county and
municipal officers, promises much
needed political reform.
The nceessa y.fvr opposing parties in
dealing with national questions is an OBJ
Sious one. 1t is true, that, IS regards,
the voters who are not politicians or Of
fee seekers, one party is as honest as
the other. but this is not true Of the
opposing parties The disposition to
bctray trust and to work for selfish and
partisan purposes may be the same on
both sides, but the Republican party Of
the nation is now committed to corrupt
and dishonest policies, and the Demo
cratic party stands pledged to measures
which will relieve the great body of tax
payers in the country from burdens laid
upon them by laws which were passed
for the benefit of few classes of capt
talists
