OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON, March 80, 1876.

WASHINGTON, March 80, 1876.
GRANT STILL IN THE FIELD-wHAT
MosEBY SAYS ABOUT IT.
l have Just seen Col. Moseby who
is, as you know, one of Grants right
bowers. He had just come from a
conference with the President at the
White House, and he says that Grant
is still in the field as a candidate for
re-election-that he considers the
New Hampshire election an endorse
ment of his administration, and is
determined, if possible, to secure n
third term. II this is true, we may
expect some lively times with Blaine,
Morton and Co., who thought the
Boss was out of the race. They may
not be willing to take back seats
now.
CONNECTICUT WILL GO DEMOCRATIC.
A short time ago, Grants Washing
ton Ring sent a man to Connecticut
to rcqust the Chairman of the Cen
trail Committee of that State to make
a searching investigation of the prob,
able result of the election on Mon
day, April 3. The utmost pains were
taken by the Connecticut radical
official, who was well paid by Grants
Ring for his labor, and was request
ed to give the facts, and the facts
only. His report, which has just
arrived, has cast a gloom over Ring
circles. He says that he regrets to
be obliged to state, as the result Of
his investigation, that the Democrat,
ic party will certainly carry the State
by a majority of about three thous,
and.

The present condition Of the Re
publican party is pointedly stated
by the Cleveland Herald in the fol-
lowing few lines:
"The party is now either to be re-
formed from within or smashed from
without
With the changes and probabili-
ties largely in favor of the smash, we
imagine. The idea of reform from
within" certainly has never entered
the brain of even the most simple
minded of the great gang of ringsters,
tricksters, grabbers, and political
frauds generally, known as the Re-
publican party.

Hon. C.J. Faulkner.

At a meeting of the Irish citizens
of Petersburg, March 18th, the fol-
lowing resolutions were adopted;
WHEREAS, Hon. c, ]. Faulkner,
the efficient member of Congress from
the Second District w. Va, has offer
ed a resolution IN Congress instruct
ing the House committee to inquire
into the imprisonment of one of our
beloved citizens, and brother Edmund
ON. Condor, who has been imprison-
ed for the last eight years i'll one of
Great Britain's most detestable and
loathsome prisons, upon charge
which we believe to be false, and
WHEREAS, We hail with pleasure
and feeling of gratitude the earnest
efforts of our worthy member OF Con-
gress to have our said brother releas-
ed; be it therefore
Resolved, BY the Irish citizens of
Parkersburg who love liberty and de-
test oppression, that we hereby re-
turn our heartfelt thanks to our said
Congressman for his resolution, and
will ever pray that his efforts, with
the assistance of the God Of the OPP
pressed may be crowned with success,
and that our dear brother, who is too
true to his God and his country to
groan while under the tyrannical
heel of Great, Britain may again soon
enjoy the blessings of liberty, home
and friends.
Resoircd, That a copy of these res
olutions he sent to our said Congress
man, Charles ]. Faulkner, with our
assurance that his name shall be
green in our memories when English
Bastiles shall have mouldered in the
dust

ONLY AN OTTUIST.
BY EDEN ROSS.
BY EDEN ROSS.

Only an outcast-nobody cares for her,
Drive her out, push her out, don't let her
stay;
There let her seek for friends,
There let her make amends
For all her wiclledncss--turnh her away.
Only an outcast.-nobody takes her in,
Cululy they turn her away from each door;
Sadly she wandcrS on,
Hope dead, and pity gone,
Wretchcd and weary, heart sick and sore
Only an outcast-nO one to claim her,
No one to call her friend darling or wife,
No gentle father, no tender mother,
No loving sister, no noble brother,
Frcndless and homeless she brcathes out
her life.
Only an outcast-thc grave robbcr NUT
tered,
AS in the dark night he stole her away.
From her neglected tomb
To the dsscCting room,
For the physicians skin, and for his pay
Only an outcast-a young student called
her,
AS he rcmo"cd the dark veil from her face;
Well may he grasp for breath,
As he bchtld in death,
The poor iricndlcss orphan he led to dis
grace.
