UoShinDiOn Correspondence.
WAsnINGToN, DC, April 18Th

Sunday ave Us the greatest
snow storm of The season. and during a
good shar, of the day it "camc down
hcautifully.n But before noon ycster-
day there was no snow to be seen, the
birds were ON the wing, and the sun
made the earth pleasant with arologetic
smiles. At noon the Senate convened,
in obedience to the proclamation of the
President, and you will see the long
list of nominations submitted for Its ac-
ton, before YOU see my letter. Mont
pelier, 1t sccms, is to have Il new Post
Master But the plac es are few where
changes will be made, if Gen. Grant adj
heres to his resolution not to disturb
good Republicans without some greater
cause than the insane desire for rotation
which some have. BY the way, | may
mention that another Ncrmontcr il like
~ to go by the board, it is thought by
many-evcn his friends. | refer to the
present Commissioner of Patents, Mr..
Footc. Several names arc mentioned
for his place, but no paper has hit upon
the really probable one, so far as | have
seen. Mr.. Foote's successor is likely to
be relative of distinguished General.
But this is sub rosa. Whenever the
President dominates, you will notice
that he will be endorsed by the Chroni-
etc as the best man out, and "cntirely
satisfactory to 0N."
Perhaps your readers would like a
paragraph of scandal. You know, or
have heard, perhaps should say, the
course of tue love never did run
SMOOTH The truth of this is some
times illustrated in Washington. a
neat little store in town, presided over
for long time by a couple supposed to
be man and wife, has had its harmony
disturbed. The neat and modestlooll-
ing female of the establishment found a
letter in the side coat pocket of her
lord, from another feminine person, Of
Philadelphia, which spoke Of the APP
proaching nuplia!s Of the sender and
receiver Whew! "IIell hath no fury
like woman scorncd." In Il short
time after the letter was read by the
wrong person, the one to whom it was
addressed could not truthfully sing
There's light in the window for
thcc;n for every 'light' in his windows
was smashed, and the showcases in his
store also. The brevet wife was spunlly.
She broke up" and left But she on
ly crossed the street, opened a store in
opposition to her late lamenting lover,
on her own hook, ana commenced di-
plomatic correspondence with the wo-
man who was to have been unceremo
niously her successor. There was the
spiciest of spice in some of those letters.
The Philadelphia 1iance asked, for in
stance, in one, how much allowance the
Borbo Bica apportioned to the " de-
parted,h that she might know what to
expect in case Of extremity. | fear that
the quiet end of this tempest in n store,
will find the unhappy negotiation among
women established in most miserable
single blessedness, with well organized
opposition to his business Of trade, sus-
tanned by Il good many firm lovers, and
such as like to see men exhibit some
soul, even in their sins. In this case,
for once women ale on the side Of the
woman.
But to make IL sandwich of this letter
let me return to politics, or something
akin to it. A movement has commenced
in the departments here, which sends a
great many people home, especially
those of Democratic faith. About one
hundred and fifty will leave the Treas
ury his month. One man who has
been in that department fifty years, and
came here with it from Philadelphia,
will be retircd-rot on account of poll
ties, however The great rotary ma
chine is in motion, and the admirers
of "my policy will have to live upon
their admiration and efforts elsewhere.
Yours ever,
+. PLURlBUS.
