EDITORIAL CORRESPONDENCE

WASHINGTON, May 29th, 1872.
The Editor of this paper has long
desired to visit the National Capital
but business seemed never to afford
the opportunity, but we finally con-
cluded that we would make the visit
and take few days rest from the
tiresome routine Of daily cares and
tolls and on Monday evening we
took the eastward bound train for
this city, via Pittsburg, Harrisburgh
and Baltimore. The car being full,
we seated ourself beside a gentle
man, whose acquaintance we soon
formed and afforded US very pleas
-:ant company all the way to Bal
timore, where he halted on business.
The gentleman's name is A. Alder
son, of Jackson, Mississippi, and is
one of the Judges of the State. The
conversation turned on the political
affairs of the day and I learned that
lie has been resident of that state
since 1e4o. He is a gentleman OF
3 thorough culture and varied infor-
nation. We were inquisitive to
learn something of the political con
dition Of that state and he gave it as
his deliberate opinion that Grant
will cary the State, although the con

Since our last, in company with
maay others, we visited the Presi-
dent. After viewing the various
rooms of the White House, the resi-
dence, efforts to occupy which, have
ruined so many great intellects, our
card was sent to the President and in
q few moments General Dent ap-
peared with the remark, "Walk
right in sir" and few steps broght
US into the Presidents room. There
were many ladies and gentlemen
ahead of us, each waiting 10 be pre-
sented to the President in due turn.
AS we were in no special hurry and
simply called to pay our respects to

most illustrious living general in the
world, President whose successful
administration will be 30 endorsed
by the American people IS TO secure

seated ourself about ten feet from
the President and were thus afford
ed fine opportunity to hear him
talk and observe his actions. He
was smoking vigorously. so much Sc

large room little oppressive to one

pleasanter ride and we advise our
readers, who may haue occasion to
go East or to this city, to take the
same route that we did,
The first and only place we have
thus far visit ed is the Senate Cham
ber, which was last night. In that
body we recognized Colfax, Sher-
man, Morton, Logan, Wilson, Trum-
bull, Conklin and few others. The
attendance was very light. Thur
man, Sumner, and Schurz were not
in their seats. The subject before
the body was the Internal Revenue
bill. Quite an extended debate took
place on the tobacco clause. Some
of the Senators were reading news
papers, and letters, some smoking
and others walking about or hold
ing conversation. Among those at
tentive to business we noticed Sen
ator Sherman. He was in his seat
and watching with an eagles eye ev-
cry inch of the progress of the bill.
During the evening he offered six or
eight amendments, and, although
at times, strenuously opposed, he
carried his point every time. Mess.
Sherman, Colfax and Morton looks
as though they greatly needed rest
from continued and excessive la
Dor.
Well, our communication is al
ready too lengthy, but we only COM
menced it since after we arose from
a good nights rest, and as breakfast
is just ready. we will change the pro
gramme, to the relief of our read
ers, but not of our digestive organs.

WASHINGTON, D. G. May 81.


We shall make no efforts to give
a detail description of the National
Capitol. We may add, however,
that it covers three acres of ground
and cost nearly eleven and a half
million dollars. In every depart
ment of it there is something to ad-
mire. Statues, painting and cary
ing everywhere attract the eye
Through the politeness of Chief En-
gineer, j. T. Miller, we were shown
the machinery by which the mighty
structure is ventilated, heated and
supplied with water above a certain
height. The engines, with the ex
ception of those in the United States
Mint, at Philadelphia, are the most
perfect and exquisite in finish that
we ever saw. We went up the Dome
as far as possible. This is an in
comprehensive iron structure. The
paintings in the ceilings of the Dome
is the work Of one of the editors
fellow-countryman an, c. Brumidi, and
are the subject of favorable COM
ment and admiration of all who wit
ness them. They are intended to
represent various ideas, such as SCI
ence, art. war, peace, commerce, &c.
The figures are rather of a mytho-
logical character and we would pre-
fer that they had been drawn from
modern seenesr so as to represent
life business aud our nationality as
it existed at the time the work was
done; then the Americans of hun
dred years to come would see rep
resentative characters of to. day as
he turns his eyes to the ceiling of the
Dome. These comments will not
detract aught from the splendid rep
utation Mr.. Brumidi has achieved
by this and other works. They
speak volumes of praise to his won-
derful skill.
The highth of the Dome we have
not learned. We ascended 33S steps
and then we were within fifty feet of
the top! Some OF the doors are
made of bronze and some cast in
Germany at great cost. Thro ugh
out thewhole building there is much
beanty of arrangement, showing that
a master architect planned the work

tensively in the Old World, say that
there is moth ing to compare with

introduced, is at work on q bronze
mount of General Rawlings, repre-
senting hins on his favorite war

thor of the celebrated monument o.
General Jackson in this city.

The whaling business, once an industry
of the greatest Importance, is fast going to
decay, at least so far as the American trade
is concerned. Fifteen years ago New Bed,
twenty.niu vessels; now that number
comprises the whole of the American yes,
sells engaged in whaling. Bat one vessel
was added to the trade in 1871, whilst
seveuty-two were lost to the business. Or
these twenty six were abandoned in Che
ice, six wrecked, three condemned. Two
sold, thirty employed in other business,
and three broken mp. This year the reports
from the whaling feet are not encouraging.
A few have sent home fair cargoes, while
others have not yet obtained siug'e bar ,
rel. The prices of oil are low, the demahu
are either becoming scarce or leaving to
avoid their pursuers. Therefore we may
expect to see the business continue to iaae
away until it becomes entirely extinct.
