WASHINGTON CRY, Dec. y, IeOy

To The Ediiofh OF TIE lhiihs Hrlht'
This city is being rapidly thinncl out OF
our laS makers, they having msic mincc
meat of Georgia, aud refused plum pGi-
ding 10 Virginia rs Christmas gift, now
wend their way homeward 10 pass the ho'i
days, ani the country would be much hen.
Gifted If they would never come back. The
confirmation Of the infamous Il. NJ. Stan
ton ms Associate Justice Of the Supreme
Court, and the wiping out Of State Of the
Union, are browning events in the infRmy
Of Radiculism. Virginia, no doubt will
have to sioop still lower in degradation ere
she is admitted. Senator Thaycr having
given the cue, To the effect that be has re-
cci,ed Information about Virginia tina; is
not satisfactory, AMI sairap Candy has also
written TO the kecrhstruction Committee "
most vindi6,iyciy false and slanderous let.
ter on Virginia affairs. The Tennessee
delcg ition; With the exception o. Senator
Fowler aud Representative Hawkins, have
signed protest against the validity of thr
late election held in Tennessee. This IL
the first move towards treating Tennessee
TO dvse of the same medicine given To
Georgia. As lie Radical Congress, IRE
bound to guarau n Republican, or rather
Radical form Of government 10 every
Stale in the Union it is proposed that they
begin with Now York, that State having
been fearfuIly disloyal 10 the Radicatpary
nnd sadly needs demonstrating. The pow
err tina, sends back Georgia to military rule
and exac.s the ratification Of the 10Th
Amendment TO the Constitution is equally
lawful TO compel acquicscence Oh the part
of any other State. Secretary Boutwell,
has said that he desired q lawyer at the
head Of the Third Auditors Bureau. Tho
choice is now between Judge Hale of Yer
mont, Judge Petit of Indiana, and anoth-
err Western man. The President has le-
moved the four principal officers Of Wash
ipgton Territory Governer Flanders,
Chief Justice Dennison, Collector of Gus
toms Wilson, and United States Marshal
Riley, for having boltcd the regularly nom.
mated Republican ticket at TIE last cleo.
ton for Territorial delegate. A most pow
erful evidence of the weakness of 4 party
when even the cohesive rower Of public
plumber" cannot bind their prominent Office
holders to vote with them. 4 treaty has
been negotiated with the Dominican
authorities, whereby this Government takes
possession of the Bay and Peninsula of
SANTANA for term of fifty years at $780,
900 in coin yearly rent, with the privilege
Of purchasing al any time at the price OF
$50 100000. We have taken possession
and nothing now Is wanting but the con-
sent OF the Senate TO tue ratification of the
treaty. The President having fatty ne
fused to transmit TO the Senate the names
of the cndorsers Of the nominations for
Circuit Judges, and thereby raised the ire
| of the Senate, two different executive SEES.
sions were held to determine what action
should be taken upon such IN indignity
being offered to the Senate. Messrs.
Trumbull and Carpenter were for demanding
the papers from the President, but Sena.
tors Morton and Sumner, who spoke for
his llighness Ulysses lst, desired 10 pro-
coed in manner that would not provoke
breach between the Presiden, aud his
master, the Senate. There are those among
the Senators who think General Grant
partakes considerably of the mule and
they do not care to precipitate Q quarrel,
others with clearer judgment think thai
the our predominates and they desire 10
let him feel the lash at once TO save an
noyance in the future. The trouble has
been patched up by ibe Senate respectfully
requesting the President TO send them the
papers, which the President will do with
the exception of Drummond of Illinois and
McKeuna of Pennsylvania, whose son
married cousin of Mrs. Grant, which is
sufficient reason for giving him any posi-
ton; the Senate to the contrary, notwiih-
standing, Drummonds endorsements also
would not bear day light. No doub, an
other private debt of some kind paid by an
Office. The confirmation of Judge lToar to
the Supreme Beuch is more than doubtful,
unhtnessfsr the position is the reason as
signed, but the true reasons are the South
demands a genuine 'scarpet-bagger TO rep

the Radical party, some Yankee should oil
right be sent from the SOuth 10 attend "a
their special interests, and The boorishness
or bearishness of Attorney General Hoar
has been such that Senator's whom he has
snubbed are determined to pay him "a, be-

the Supreme Court in order 10 furthsr his
own ends. I do not think the latter gool

their party success, but IL the S-bate has
any respects for the feelings Of the gentle
