LITTER FROM WASHINGTON.
Louisiana Absorbs Public Attention.
The President Knows Kellogg.
Sheridan Butcher by Nature.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.
begin my letter to you this morning, my
dear BULLETIN, with heavy heart. like to
write hopefully; 1 like to write Of pleasant
things and to send you tidings of good, but
the wires have thrilled all over the land with
the sad story of your dire disaster, and though
in certain districts sympathy for you and in
dignation against the Administration are
loudly expressed, here, in the heart Of the
nation, those holding your fate think only of
selfish ends, which is to be feared they will
compass long before the majesty Of the popu-
lar protest can make them afraid.
All other matters of public interest fade
when Louisiana is mentioned. Even the in
vestigation into Pacific Mail corruption pos
sesses but secondary importance. The New
York papers condemn the course of the Presi-
dent in unmeasured terms, and even the Bay
State-believing, as she does, in the most in
tense loyalty to the General Government =
sends her protest against such unjustihable
interference with sovereign commo awealth.
Will this knowledge give you any cheer in
these dark days, when You are SO brayely yet
faithfully struggling in coils you cannot
break
Overcome, PROSTATE, oppressed and suffer
ing, will it not waken a throb OF pride to
know that ,rhea Kellogg has done his worst =
when, in spite of everything good and true,
he has had his ray, that he is everywhere
scorned, detested, and recognized for the
miscreant and scoundrel yon 80 We'll know
him to be:
Talking the other day with an intimate
friend of the President, I spoke strongly OF
your affairs, expressing the wish that |,
woman, with no hope or wish for political
preference, might be able to tell the Execu-
tive what / had seen in New Orleans. Said
my companion: .'The President knows all
this; he has no doubt whatever of Kellogg's
entire unworthiness; he knows him to be
base, unprincipled and cowardly; but the ex-
Founders Of the law say to him that, after
due examination, Kellogg is the only one
having any shadow of right to the position
be holds, and the President must enforce his
apparent claim
Why, didn't Williams argue in the same
strain concerning Texas year ago? Has he
personal reasons for UNFOLDING Kellogg while
be refused assistance to Davis! Texas is
doing very well in managing her own
sffairs
The Washington Chronicle declares that
here is generally at the South the old spirit

re would take that back, and believe rather in
Mr.. Lamar's eloquent declaration that South
I'm people "respect, as all true and brave
men must respect, the martial spirit with !
which the men of the North indicated the |

Yesterday there was IN exciting debate in
10Th the Senate and House. Senator Nor
on's remark that "to lie like an agent of the
ssociated press had become an axiom, is
uoted this morning by the Chronicle as if he
ad only intended the comment for Southern
gents of the association.
Senator Morton certainly meant nothing of
be kind. Apropos to ib-telling, Congress-
nan Hays, of Alabama, who made himself so
famous, or famously infamous, by
is el,-t;an letter concerning fabricated at
ocities in his State, is reaping reward he
oesn't enjoy. He is called "Ananias
but we fancy that ancient liar
,ould yield him precedence could he see how
n his namesake has exceeded himself.
Gen. Butler said yesterday, with significant
avagery, that he chad once given Louisiana
eace and he would like to 90 down there to
o it again now" Doubtless you would
ather have him than Sheriden. The latter is
butcher by nature and really loves the ex-
itement of actual battle, quite regardless as
, who his opponents are.
Social matters are progressing in the usual
