OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON. Nav llth, is

WASHINGTON, May 11th, 1872.
To the Editor Of the State Journal:
Although the spring has been unusually
late with us, our city is now in its summer
attire, and never looked more beautiful.
The unsettled condition of the streets is a
serious drawback, however, and the clouds
of dust which fill the air bring down the
anathemas of the citizens upon the OBJ
structionists, who, by their useless sim
vestigations," have delayed the completion
of the improvements. Enough has been
done to show the outlines Of the plan and
give sense of its harmonious complete
ness, and as soon as the report of the COM
mittee has been made, the work will be
pushed forward as rapidly as possible.
The near approach to completion of the
Baltimore and Potomac railroad is very en-
couraging to our merchants and others who
have been so long subject to the monopoly
of the Baltimore and Ohio road. Much
interest has been excited among the govern
ment employees in regard to the suburban
villages along its route, and many are pur-
chasing with the idea of enjoying 'srural
felicity" ''under their own vine and fig
tree."
The excitement caused at first by the
announcement of the unexpected result of
the Cincinnati Convention, has in great
measure died away, and although opinions
are divided regarding its Importance and
results, the supporters of Gen. Grant are
quite easy in their minds, and confident of
the result in November. The New York
Republican association (Which numbers
over six hundred members from that state)
at their meeting recently, adopted. a series
of resolutions, condemnatory of the Cincn-
natl nominations and affirming their con-
fidence in and firm allegiance to the
principles of the Republican party which
has done so much for the country during
and since the war. 1t seemed to be the
general impression among the members
that it will be difficult to unite the Greeley
ties of the North and the Democrats of the
South upon one platform, and the prestige
of the Chappaqua farmer editor is not suf-
ficient to overcome the practical difficult
ties. The belief gains ground here that
the Democrats will make an independent
nomination.
The work of the ninth census is rapidly
approaching completion, and each month a
heavy discharge of clerks takes place.
Forty-six received their discharge to-day.
The pressure on members of Congress and
heads of bureaus for places, is tremendous,
but many of the most energetic are turning
their ability to account in other professions
or trades, which is sensible.
CAPITOL.
The Daily state journal. [volume] (Alexandria, Va.) 1868-1874, 1872-05-13
THE PROSPECT.

Looking calmly over the whole ground,
she Republican line seems everywhere firm
and unwayerng. The masses who have
little interest in the question of "Who
shall fill the offices ?" stand unmoved and
uuterrified. They desire stability in the
governmental policy, and are not disposed to
be unreasonable in their expectations.
They do not look for angels among politi-
clans, or expect faultless administration
of affairs. Against the captivating formu-
las of theorists their strong sense is proof.
They are the recipients of positive benefits,
and have been protected from threatened
danger. 1t as possible that another leader
might have done better, but the chances are
vastly against finding another one who will
do as well. And so the people are going to
nominate and elect Gen. Grant because
the v believe him safe and honest. Upon
this pt,int, we have no shadow of doubt or
fear. What interests as most is to see the
Republican party put itself in the van of
the nation upon eSery question that affects
the welfare of the people. In this manner
it will secure to itself perm.suence and pow
er, and direct the forces of our unfolding
national life to glorious destiny.

The venerable VIM. Lazier, of Nor

General G. Il. Lippincott, State AUDI
tor Of Illinois. writes, in reply to COM
munication, that he is for the Republican
party and its nominee for the Presidency at
Philadelphia, and that he knows no abuses
in the Republican party which it is not
able and willing to correct.
The Washington Chronicle of this
morning says: "We have the highest au-
thority for stating that the President of the
United States has requested the Hon. Jas.
F. Casey, collector of the port of New Or
leans, and the deputy collector, MIR. Har-
wig, to resign their respective offices. 1t is
proper to add that this request is not made
on account of any wrong doing or malad-
ministraton in the discharge Of their Off
cial duties, but in consequence Of their
conduct in the late New Orleans political
troubles, as developed by the printed re-
port of the House committee sent thither
| to investigate the subject"

DEDICATION OF A CHURCH.-Grace-
Street Presbyterian church was dedicated
yesterday. The exercises were conducted
by Rev. DIR. Charles III. Read, the pastor.
His text comprised the 9TH to the 18th
verses of the 22d chapter of Luke, from
which he preached beautiful and pow
erful sermon. The church was crowded,
and the exercises commanded the closest at
tention. Several pews in front of the mid
die aisle were set apart for the aged and
lnfirm members of the church, and quite a
number of these were present. In one of
the pews sat four old ladies-Mrs. Young,
Mrs. Anderson, Mrs. Sheppard and Mrs.
Cocktail of them being over four score
years of age, the younger one being up
wards of eighty-three years old. Their
presence was beautifully and feelingly al
luded to by the gifted pastor.
The General Assembly of the Presby-
terians of the United States will convene
in DR.. Reads church on Thursday next.

LOCAL MATTERS,

RICHMOND PAPER RMANUFACTURING
COMPANY.-We have watched the pro-
gress of the preparations of this company
with a great deal of interest. With our
fine water-power, cheap labor and cheap
living, and large and profitable market in
waiting, the manufacture of paper here
could not be regarded as an experiment,
but as an enterprise whose success is al
ready assured by the existing condition of
things.
The building erected by the Richmond
Paper Manufacturing company is situated
on the site of the old Franklin paper mill.
at the northern abutment of the Peters,
burg railroad bridge. 1t is four stories high
and sixty-five feet wide by one hundred and
thirty feet long. It is a most substantial
structure, finely ventilated, and we'll fin
ished. The company is wholly composed
of citizens of Richmond, and has a work
ing capital of 100000, all paid up. The
officers of the company are as follows =:
President, w. B. Allegro; secretary, III.
w. Lubbock; treasurer, j. H. Montague.
The machinery which the company have
placed in the new paper mill is first-class in
all respects, embracing all the latest i'm
provements in paper making, and is un-
douDtedly superior to any other now erect
ed south Of New England. 1t was manu-
factured by Messrs. Rice, Barton & Fales,
Worcester, Mass. The gearing, shafting,
and other iron work were made by Messrs.
Joseph Hall & Co.,, of Richmond. The
fourdrinier machine is 66 inches, with eight
dryers and chilled rolls. There are four
grinding machines, including two washers
and two beaters capacity Of each of the
latter about 375 pounds. The rag boiler is
twenty-five feet long by eight feet in di-
ameter.
The force of operatives when in full
operation will consist of twenty-eight to
thirty persons, about equally divided be-
tween the sexes. The mill will turn out
the various grades of news, book and bag
papers, the prices of which will range at
present from thirteen to eighteen cents per
pound. The capacity of the mill will be
about 5000 pounds per day. The fine
water-power, as we'll as the size of the
building, will admit of the introduction of
sufficient additional machinery to double
the daily production of paper. The rag
cutting machines were in operation to-day,
but the mill will not be fully in motion be-
fore next week.

BEECHER ON BoRRowING.-One
thing / cannot and will not stand. There
is a member of great publishing house in
New York who says and circulates that l
borrowed that distinguished traveller and
very clever fellow, Du Chaillu's umbrella,
and did not return it on demand! 1t was
alleged to be the umbrella that he had
taken with him around the world with
which he had kept the Kopts of Egypt
from tanning; had preserved salamanders
from a sunstroke had sheltered ducks and
frogs in Africa from getting wet; and with
which in Norway and Sweden he had played
fast and loose with the winds. Now, this
whole charge deny. That brought off my
own umbrella safely from that establish
ment has always been matter of grateful
wonder to me. But that | bagged the
well.known and world-renowned umbrella
of the African traveller | do aver is not in
accord with the truth of history. Not that
| feel above taking a good umbrella-in-
deed, a score would not repay the number
lent and not returned. do not object to
borrowing in the abstract. When a boy
frequently borrowed doughnuts and ginger
bread, and bits of pie and sugar. with now
and then morsel of jelly; but it was all
in the family-I never transcribed the
bonds of relationship.

BOAT LINE TO THE PUMP House.
We are assured that gay water craft has
been fitted up to ply between the city and
the pump-house of the water works, and
other favorite localities up the canal. The
boat will be run by horsepower, and will
start from the foot Of Eighth street, stop
ping at CANDLES Hill to take in passen-
gers. Her first trip will be made Wednes-
day morning about nine o'clock, when
those who attend the memorial exercises at
Hollywood can repair to the grounds by
this pleasant means. The boat will be run
throughout the season if our citizens eS-
tend a reasonable support, which we do
not doubt. The enterprise is under the
immediate control of Major F. A. G..
Handy, who will do all in his power for
the comfort of travellers by his line.

ENGLAND.

Status of the Claims Question,
London, May 12.-The Observer saws.
communications have been passing between
the Cabinet of Washington and London all
the past week. The United States has as
yet made no definite proposition of favor
able character. 1t is hoped, however, that
the President may recommend and the
Senate approve modification of the trea-
ty. The course of the British government
before Parliament tomorrow depends on
the reply of the Washington Cabinet
Public opinion in England is adverse to any
action which will close negotiations for set
tlemsnt.
London, Noaaay morning, May 49,
The Times and other London papers of this
morning are of opinion that the announce
ment of Friday that the negotiations be-
tween Great Britain and the United States
in regard to the indirect claims had been
broken off was premature. The Times
says, positively, that all will yet be righted.
II maintains that the American govern
ment has agreed, in principle to withdraw
the claims for indirect damages, and advises
forbearance on the part of both houses of
Parliament.
FRANCE.
Paris, May 1.-THE commission on
capitulation, &c., declares that it finds
itself incompetent to adjudicate upon the
question of the capitulation of Paris. They
think, however, that great responsibility
for the surrender of the city rests upon
Jules Favre, and exculpates Generals
Trochu and Ninoy from all blame in the
matter.
The Blockade of the ssyirsinius" Broken Up.
The United States Assumes the RESPONSE
bility.
Haraaa, May 1l.-The Spanish war
steamer "Pizaro" has arrived at Santiago
de Cuba from Aspinwall, having aban-
doned her vigilance over the steamer "Vir-
ginius," on account of the arrival there of
the United States steamer "Kansas." Af-
ter a consultation between the commander
of the "kansas" and the American consul
at Aspinwall, the "Firginius" was de-
clared all American ship, and the COM
mander then hoisted the american flag.
The Instructions of the Spanish commander
were TO watch the "Virginius," blockade
runner, and this mission was terminated
on the acceptance Of the responsibility Of
the "Eirginius" as an American vessel.
The ''Virginius" left port previous to the
departure Of the 'Pizaro"

PIC-NIcs.-Pic-nics have superseded
the more formal dramatic and musical
assemblies, and our people are now much
more disposed to seek boundless conti-
guilty of shade than to swelter in the most
elegant temple ever made by hands. In
amusements, therefore, the city is dull
decidedly dull. Two gay parties of pic
nicers departed this morning. One, COM
posed of the Ancient Order of Druids ard
many friends, went to that favorite resort,
the pump-house, where the Druidic New
Year will witness the joyous mistletoe
rites and the other, composed of Jeffer-
son Lodge, Knights of Pythias and others,
took the York river train, intending to
rusticatc for the day at and about West
Point.
