Washington letter.
WASHINGTON. Sen. u. l

WASHINGTON, Sep. 10, 1870.
Dear Editor The "HERALD" has
been q welcome visitor, to me, for the last
two weeks, and always brings interesting
news. Unlike the most of those Vermont
ers, temporarily residing here, who have
passed away good portion of the hot
season at their New England home, I
have remained here the entire summer,
and the reports from those "seekers after
pleasure" who steered their course
towards New England, have convinced
my mind, stronger than ever, that she of
fers the rich retreats for those who are
won't to wander after the most complete
comforts of life. The quiet streets of
Washington, for the last three months,
have reminded us very forcibly, that it is
not place of attraction during the sum
mer, but this dizziness is gradually taking
on a more cheerful aspect, as familiar faces,
now and then, make their appearance at
their post of duty, and citizens return to
their homes looking quite refreshed from
the result Of their Northern trip, and soon
the usual life, brought about by the pre-
asnce of Congress, will be welcomed again.
The President, after spending q day or
two here, upon his official duties, return
ed to Long Branch, Saturday evening,
where, it is said, he will remain with his
family until October. l see by the Yer
