Correspondence Of the New York Democrat.
FHITB HOUSE, WASHINGTON, Fibusry
4tane. MISTER IDIoToR:-It's baten we
are again, and begorraits the lasht attimpt
but won we shall make to capture the
Faynians. As L towled yez in me lasht
letther, Mishter Bin Butler and mesilf and
the other nagers, were assigned place
in the precision in New York st the
Fsynian RECEPTION. The nagers somehow
found out who we wee, and
it was impossible to git over
| fairly or farty-fve to associate wild
us, but we tuck that we could git and re-
ported till the marshal of the day, at 14th
shtrate. Just thin band come along and
the marshal towld Butler and mesilf TO
take our nagers and follow that band.
The band shtruck up tune finch Butler
SAID he was accustomed to, 'Hail till
the Chsfe," and we shtarted. (The
was the "Rogue's Msrch.'0 We follow
| ed that band from one o'clock until dark,
up and down Sullivan and Green shtreets,
supposing the precision of FsyniansI
were beyant US, following in our wake.
But begorra, we were chated. Afther.
| dismissiug the resht of the Dagers and
| going back till the Ashton House, we.
| found that the regular precision had
not been wild US at all at all, but that
young Bill Twade, bad cess till him,
had hired that band to lade US ashtray,
and had marched US all the Afternoon a.
| long dishtance from there the regular pro-
cission Was. Fiat kind of way is that
to be afther trating representatives of
| thish Government l dunnof Be jabers,
| if that Twade ivir comes till Washington,
me cousin will have him arrishted for Sc
ducing Butler and mesilf and we will
/! make him pay alimony, to be sure. l
have heard of Tammany thricks before,
but this is the firsht won l liver expari-
| enced. Me cousin Ulisses was very much
dishcouraged whin we towld him the
result of our mission, and he says it is
plain to him that the Irishmen don't care
much fhether he is reelected or not. 1t
is sad conclusion to come to, to a man
of me cousins temperament, but it was
bound to come sooner or later. Butler
has given up all hopes of getting in the
Cabinet, unless he recaves the credit of
bringing on a settlement of the Alabama
claims, but me cousin Ulisses claims that
he did that himsilf.
Ye mind the report that is going
around the country that the shteamer
wild the San Domingo Commissioners on
board, had gone till the bottom of the
say. Me cousin says the report is with
out foundation. Whin me cousin thought
of sending mesilf and Porter, and Butler,
and Sumner, and lot of paple that he
could spare in welcome, ne intinded to
sind us in laky vessel, with the hope
that it might go down; but when we de-
clined to go, he concluded to sind a good
vessel; so there is devil the danger that it
has gone down. Paple nadent be sur
prised to hare that Frid Douglass has
fallen overheard and been drowned, as
me cousin Ulisses STINT one man along to
assisht Frid about dying for bis country,
but there is no danger about the rest of
the divils on board that boat. They have
all got life observers.
suppose yez have heard of the Carni-
val finch is to take place here tomorrow.
Yez may not know the rason it has been
got up, so will be afther telling all about
1t. Ye see at this sasOn of the yare there
are no horse races, or fairs, or Long
Branches for me cousin to attind, and
it was noticed be the managers of
our parity that me cousin was grow
ing poor for lack of recreation, so
it was deemed advisable to get up some
thing to draw his attintion from the af-
fairs of Shtate, so this intellictual.repasht
is to be served up. All of the men who
draw pay from the Government here are
to take part in the affair, and SO yez
will see it will be big thing. They are
to dress up in all kinds of fantastic
shapes, and march by the hotel where me
cousin will be smoking. Me cousin
wants to take part in the shport, espe-
cislly the donkey race. A donkey was
STINT to the Finite House for me consin to
practice on, and whin he saw it, l
thought he would go wild, me cousin,
not the donkey. 1t brought till his mind
the time he rode mules in circus, and
he pulled off his coat to ride the donkey.
Begorra that was the mosht dishloyal
donkey l ever saw. l held me cousins
coat for him to mount the haste, and that
do yez think the ass did, CThe four
legged ass l mane.) He kicked me
cousin in all his soft places,
making a big shwelling on me
poor cousins head, and left him iRcapaci-
tated for sitting down for a wake at
leasht. 1t bates the divil that self-respect
some of those donkeys have got. Win
the managers found the donkey wouldn't
associate wild me cousin, they stint him
billy-gost, as they are going to have a
goat race. The goat was worse nor the
donkey, as he kicked me cousin wild the
opposite side from that the donkey dId.
Since the dishastrous failures to induce
the aforesaid animals to shtand for him
to ride, he has concluded not to take
part in the carnival only as a shpectator.
Me cousin is very much dissatisfied wild
the action of some Commissioners finch
he stint down South to report on the raw
ages of the Ku,K lux. Whin they whit
away me cousin gave them instructions
to report be telegraph a irish murder
livery day, at laisht, and if possible to
send three or four on each Saturday, aven
if they had to kill a few nagers them
selves. Now, that do you Think Those
lazy divils have been gone over two
wakes, and divil the nsger killed but
two. Fiat kind of way is that for
loyal min to thrsnsact business and serve
their counthry2 If things go on long
that way, paple won't behave half
the stories about how the Ku Klux
serve up the nagers on the half-shell, and
have them poached on toast. Seems as
though livery thing was going wrong.
Me cousin is getting sick at heart over
the proshpects of being ELECTED again.
Win he appointed those men to go South
he had livery rason to behave they were
seldom aqualed and niver excelled as
champion liars, and now luck at the way
he ID trated be them.
Misfortunes always comes double BAR
relied, and Providence is daling harshly
wild mid consin Ulisses. He thought he
had his boy provided for at Wesht Point
for some time, but now he has been in
row wild some other cadets and is to be
dismissed, and will no doubt come home
here to be supported, and Bridget will
have to do his washing and mending.
Fiat the diVil he wanted to get up mob
and expel some cadets from Wesbt
