The death Of Speaker Kerr, which &C.

seven o'clock, though it has long been

In fact, few public men, non-residents
Of Washington, have ever succeeded as
he has done. without IN effort on his
part, in attaching the people to him SO
so strongly. This melancholy event
leaves tho House without Speaker, as
Mr.. Sayler's term Of service as Speaker

session. He has been detained here to

Qua PHILADELPHIA LETTER.
Correspondence Of the Washington Standard
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Aug. 81. 1876.
Foreigners, especially Europeans,
are lavish in their praise for the system
attic manner in which the workings Of
the Government Buildings are carried
on, and that too, is done in this year
of retrenchment and economy, on a
scale very inadequate to a proper dis
play of the many thousand exhibits un.
der its roof. But there is nothing to
do but make the best of the means a,
the disposal of those in charge.
The International Congress is still
holding its sessions, and technical ed
ucation, particularly that branch of il
relating to philology, Or the art Of
spelling, is being vigorously and elo-
quently discussed. The newspapers
are taking great interest in these de-
bates and if a new departure is de-
cided on. it will effect them more near
ly than any other class of society or in
dustrial pursuit. Leading journals are
taking sides on tho question and some
contend that the adoption of the oAant
and the umlant marks used BY the
French and Germans. would do away
with the necessity for change. The
Press says: Sound, within the last
twenty-five years, has been more ex-
tsnsively employed to record mems
thoughts and to distribute them, than
in all preceding time. Now stsno-
graphy has given place to photography.
Reporters use their ears and have sym
bols under the latter system to repre-
sent sounds-not letters or syllables.
Telegraphers no longer decipher the
punctures, lines, dots and symbols. APP
pealing to the eye. but interpret through
sound by ear alone. Four-6fths of all
the politics, news and commerce o: the
world, are now first recorded and re-
ceived BY the ear and not by the eye.
Why, then, in this philosophic age,
should not our spelling be by q phonetic
system? II is no answer to say that
the change from old forms-from GUS
tom, would create confusion. A report
Of Fnday's proceedings gives the fol-
lowing account Of it: !" At the splin'
metin' last evsnin', Miss Warner xas|

A SUGGESTION. An Old Farmer
has been cogitating on national finance
and submits the following scheme,
which he claims, at least possesses the
merit of originality:
Let the Ground be Cleared-By making the
penalty of fraud on the United States Treasl-
ry, the same as treason, with the pardoning
power vested only in the courts.
We are nOto Prepared to So,c the Seed-By es-
tab!ishing q Treasury bureau. a branch of
which must be located in all the business
centers to negotiate loans of Treasury legal
tender notes "a legal tender for all debts and
taxes and on par with gold coin) for which
approved bonds are deposited bearing inter-
est to the United States at the rate of three,
four or five per cent. per annum.
We TOLL Reap an abundant Harrest-By break
ing up the moneyed monopolies of the coun-
try. The masses will be able to obtain money
at living rate of interest, the Government
will receive an interest instead of paying it to
the bondholder and thereby be able to nav
her debt in y short time without levyinQ
tax or imposing high duties on imports. The
money broker will have to seek other EN-
ployment for his m oney. The banker will
invest in workshops mining enterprises,
railroads. etc, giving profitable employ ment
to the millions.
This is designed to call out honest CRITICS.
Let the objectOr present something better.
