- WASHINGTON, July 8, 1871.
Although 80 far during the summer the
heat has been what one could call oppres.
sive, there have been in this city some very
hot days, and the present is no exception
to them. The Government, enjoying its sea
breezes and long relaxation from official
cares, can congratulate itself upon being
away from the dust and dreariness Of the
capital. The subordinate officials are now
preparing to 90. Such as hold chief clerks
places and heads of bureaus, many of whom
get their thirty days. leave during the en-.
tire year, but who wander to their homes
in New England, or to some country resort
in other sections less fashionable, far less
expensive, and no doubt far more comfort
able, than are the seaside pleasures of the
Chief Magistrate and those who hover
about him. It is hard now to tell what Cab.
met officers are In town. Boutwell, Is still
absent. Robson and Belknap are away,
and Delano is constantly on the wing. AS
Mr.. Toots would remark, "Its of no con-
sequence" The only significance spring
ing from the almost daily reports Of their
arrivals and departures from Washington
exists in the fact that very often people
throughout the country who have business
with the different departments are anxious
to know if their chief officials are at their
desks. ~..
The political market remains unchanged,
no new features Of interest having present
ed themselves for long while. The few
politicians who keep pace with events yet
remaining in Washington continue in their
belief thai Senator Cameron will be on the
Radical ticket for Yice-President, this mat.
ter being regarded in some circles as Ger.
tain as the nomination of Grant. It is not
known, however, what a day may bring
forth, and both these aspirants for further
honors may have to bow to the will Of the
people. It is not to be denied that the
conservative debates on the Presidential
situation are brim-full Of specul.tions ia.
vorable to the nomination Of Hancock.
There Is the fullest confidence in Demo.
cratic quarters Of the most thorough har-
mony when their leading men meet to.
gether, which cannot be even for primary
and casual consultations until the coming
autumn or winter months. /
In two States the dissensions In the Rad.
ical party are becoming national in their
interest. They are New York and Ala
bama; and the beauty about the situation
is that the barriers TO reconciliation can
not be oyerthrown by any action on the
part of the Administration, which has
taken sides with one of two Radical fac.
tions In the States, each Of which hates the
other with becoming intensity. In New
York the differences are more digniied,
but in Alabama they are perhaps more
ardent, and find vent in the greater mum
Der of letters and protests against the
wrongs which the Radical party in that
State are enduring at the hands Of an un.
grateful Administration. The admission is
general in the party that the "spoils" fur.
nish the pabulum of the discomfort. Itis
the anxiety to have "finger in the pie u
before the end is at hand which will moi
permit peace. The Radical party In
Georgia, If reports from there are to be
trusted, is also drifting away from the Ad.
ministration, which has refused to lend it:
powerful aid in seating one OF Its (tbe
the United States Senate last session. II
is, in fact, thought very probable among
lukewarm Republicans here that several o
the Radical delegations from southern
States to the National Radical Convention
will persistently deny their support to
Grants renomination.
Nor is the Boutwell, imbroglio
ended. True, there have been no new
phases of the quarrel since the Government
was Ut nome DuI boutwell, GOOk u uepaT-
ture with Grant, and Pleasonton seems to
have suspended important business opera.
tions since then. His friends declare he
will not yield his position, and his manner
plainly proves their assertions are correct.
Something is brewing in the Internal Reve.
nue. Department even new which bodies
nothing favorable to amitY but the opera.
tions in progress are very quietly con-
Quoted.
Kentuckians in Washington are loud in
their praises of LongelloW, the winner OF
the third race at Long Branch to-day, and
joyously predict that Kentucky will occupy
the first place on the turf, as of yore.
There are some complaints among the
more patriotic denizens Of this, town that
even the Declaration OF Independence was
not read yesterday, and that no public
celebration of any character occurred either
here or at the substituted capital-Long
Branch.
1t is shown by the books Of the Internal
Revenue office that on the first Of this
month the five grain distilleries in Virginia
reported daily productive capacity of 271
gallons of spirits. TIMoN.
