LETTER FROM WASHINGTON.
WAsHINGToN, d. c., March Is, 1877

w aohiNuioN, -. ~, IhdlCH III, 1910.
DEAR WHIG:-Last Friday and Satur-
day, and to- day, were what we may safely
call fair specimens of Spring days, and,
coming as they did, so soon after the frigid
Winter that has just left US, everybody
turned out to enjoy their balmy greeting,
and to welcome the return of the lovelest
OF all seasons-Spring. Our streets pre-
sented a new ard fresh appearance, gay
with cheerful pedestrians, and this, added
to the brilliantly-equipped equipages that
crowded Pennsylvania Avenue, rendered
the effect of the scene perfectly enchant-
ing. The ladies were ont in all their early
Spring trappings, aud as Washington can
properly lay claim 10 some of the hand
soonest in the world, they never fail to use
their best efforts to contribute toward the
loneliness of Spring time. The Spring sea-
sons in Washington have always been cele
DRAFTED for their attractions. and if the
authority of the tourist is of any account
they partake just enough of the tropics,
without their miasmatic tendencies, to rem
der them unequaled by any other climate
in the world.

POLITICAL.

1t is rather soon to discuss the question
of candidates for the next Presidency; yet
from the knowing ones, | learn that when
the time comes, James G.. Blaine will be at
least, one of the persons, and probably the
most prominent, that will attract the atten-
ton OF the Republican party. 1t is thought
that no one would be more likely to unite
the party or secure the general confidence
of the country. His administrative abili-
ties and sound Judgment have borne the
test of time. He has never been a failure
any where or in any thing.
On the other side, among the far-seeing
Democrats, the names of Thurman, of
Ohio; Randall, of Pa; and Tildep, of n.
V, are the most prominent. Andy John
son stock is low. he refused to attend the
Democratic caucus, of course. Andy does
not seem to make one of that organization !:
he belongs to the Johnson party, and is in
perpetual caucus. The johnson party is
not so large as it was when it obtained so
much constitutional law from demijehn,
yet the whisky trade seems pleased to have
it back again, although bereft of SO many
followers

Excepting few combinations, the en-
tire session of the Senate last week was
spent in rehash of the old arguments on
the Pinchback case, no: one of which,
feel quite sure. has had the slightest effect
upon any Of the new Senators, as it is not
ignorant of the merits of the whole case.
To me, the whole question seems to hinge
on the fact that, until the validity of the
present government of Louisiana is irrec0c
ably fixed it is all folly to try to give prrc-
tical force to any of its acts.

The civil-service humbug has finally ex-
ploded for the want of proper Legislative
support, and the President has concluded
to abandon it, properly regarding the fail
ure of Congress to provide for its continu-
ance as disapproval of the system. The
appointments hereafter will be made as
provided for by section l64 of the Revised
Statutes enacted June 22nd, 1874, which
reads as follows: " No clerk shall be ap-
pointed to any department in either of the
four classes until he has been examined
and found qualified by board of examin-
ers, to consist of the chief of the bureau
or Office into which such clerk is to be
appointed, and two other clerks, to be
selected by the head of the department"

The District has had it's Charley Ross
case. A six-weeks baby was kidnapped on
Thursday morning last from it's mothers
residence in Georgetown, by woman
named Parker, Alias "Puss Oakley" a
professional thief, who had Just been re-
leased from Jail and began a new feature
in her business. The father of the in
weighed infant reported the matter to police
headquarters on Thursday night, and the
detectives were soon on the number six
tracks of the kidnapper. On Friday morn
ing "Puss" was arrested in Baltimore,
with the purloined baby, and conveyed to
this city, where she was photographed for
the rogne's gallery. and reconsigned to the
lookup. The child stealing was conducted
i'll a cunning manner. "Puss,' travelling
as beggar- woman, saw the baby in the
care of a servant girl of ten or twelve
years; sent the girl TO grocery store to
purchase some article or other, and like old
mother Hubbard's cupboard. when the girl
returned the babe and 80 Puss were gone.
She travelled about begging, representing
the stolen Balm of Gilead as her own off
spring, and keeping it quiet by means of
an oplate.

THE SEEDS OF VAGRANCY AND CRIME.
Perhaps no city of proportionate size
and population in the world provides so
amply and abundantly for its poor as Wash
ington; yet, on the other hand I am sorry
to say that doubt whether any city is so
deficient in and lily provided with means
to prevent the spread of vagrancy and petty
crimes. Hundreds of children, some of
them pretty well advanced in years, are to
be found in all sections of the city solicit
ing aims from carly morning until laty at
night. The large majority of these street
beggars are colored, and, saving the flimsy
and filthy clothing they wear, their appear
ance is healthy and strong. They attack
every household with a system and regu-
larity that show they are well trained in
the business; and when they are refused
charity, they invariably make it a rule to
commit some petty larceny or perpetrate
some annoyance upon the party refusing.
While the ostensi5le purpose is to beg the
real idea when that fails is to steal. Char
ity thrown away on such material as this
falls far below its real object, and in all
cases, either encourages vagrancy or crime.

conclusively showed that it could in no
vev implicate that officer in the charges
preferred in the articles Of impeachment.
II seemed that the evidence that the
committee had tried to gather was in re-
laton to some transactions Of WILLIAM
r. BURpErr, and he being the son Of the
Treasurer, they had jumped at the con-
cluslon that a conspiracy existed between
father and son. The evidence was al
together hearsay, and a remarkable fact
was that the committee failed TO call be
fore them the parties who were repre-
sented by the witnesses as having made
statements. 1t looked as though this
committee thought that they were clothed
with the imperial authority OF High

THE HOUSE YESTERDAY

il
explanation in relation to an editorial in
the Wheeling htstigeHcer, which he
thought uisstated his position, and he
hoped that he would not be interrupted
and the dignity of this House disturbed,
by the -emseless and indecent rawlings of
some vulgar bar-room blackguard. His
remarks Of the prrcedidg day,
III reference to his ohjec-
ton to serving on a committee OF
Republicans, was intended to be solely
applied to the gentleman from Wood
(Mr. HUTCHINSON and not intended to
apply to other gentlemen of the Repub-
licsn party, for whom he had the highest
respect. lie thought that the abilities OF
Mr.. HUTCHINSON had been greatly over
rated. and for these and other reasons he
wanted Mr. HUTCHINSON out of the way.
Mr. HUTCHINSON responded in his
caustic style, and III a very shrewd eva
sion Of the parliamentary law prohibit
ing personalities said some things about
Mr. Mason that might haue been re
garded as personal in their nature under
other circumstances 1t is TO be re-
GREETED that gentlemen take the floor ofthe
House as the theatre Of ycntiiatlng their
personal quarrels.
r...JACKsoN, Of Wood, being entitled
to the loor on the question to indefinite

parchment articles, proceeded to argue
in favor of postponemrnt. lie regarded
this motion in the nature of n demurrer
