Matters in Washington.
Correspondence Of tho Baltimore S,

Y
politicians have been here in the last
day or two again asking for funds
from tho National committee. Sec,
rotary Chandler repeated to thcn
that nothing Can be done for tho
South ut this time, as every cent
which can be raisod must bo sont into
Ohio and Indiana After tho cleo
tlons in those two States arc over
then, he said, tho South should have
some money.
In answer to q question as to tho
condition of the Republican PROS
poets in Ohio and Indiana, the
Southern mon wcro told that things
had been looking rather bilious in
(. both of those States, but that the
latcst information received ut Repub
ican headquarters hore was very
encouraging. Things were looking
UP, ailditswas believed now that the
effectiye Sspeakers who were to bo
sent flto tho canvass during tho
ensuing two weeks would do such
good{Work as to insure Republic
can victory in both the Statos. They
wore further informed thnt addition
al troops, most probably to tho ex-
tent OF several regiments, will short
~ be distributed over the South.
With such crumbs of comfort as
these the Southern delegations loft
hcro last night in worry happy
franc of mind. It is just us we'll to
say that, III Democratic circles, no
confidence is put in this good news
which tho Republican Headquarters
profess to have from tho West.
PREMIUM TO LoAFERs
'I.Tho hard working clnsscs of the
North and West will not bo likely
to consider it just to them "!c.,
they learn that as u means Of help
ing tho Republican ticket free
rations arc to be issued to the
negroes in Louisiana, and most
probably other States Of tho South.
In consequence Of tho pressure of
the times many of tho hardy yooman-
ry of the North are unable to obtain
tho employment which they seek.
In tho South, on the contrary, tho
planters need tho labor which tho
negroes frequently rofuso to give.
Yet premium is to bo put upon
lnziness and wortulcssness among
tho negroes Of the South by the
illegal division Of tho moneys raised
from tho laboring ch,sscs of the
North, md this too, to aid t!v
fortunes of II political party com
Aposod of n minority.
DEPARTMENT ARCHIVES.
UnfMvorablc comment cvcn among
fair minded Ropublic"N& has been
caused by tho grossly unfair manner
in which tho archives Of the depart
monts hero arc permitted TO be used
for partisan purposes. It is an
open matter now that photo-litho>
graphic copies were permitted to be
taken Of Governor Tildon's income
rotnns, to DO spread broadcast
over tho country, while not even tho
courtesy of reply was vouchsnfed
to MIR. Hewitt, the chairman of tho
National Democratic committee,
who asked for II certified copy OF tho
same. Every facility is afforded in
all departments for the use of mats
ter which can be turned to tho ad~
vantage of the Republican party,
while u door Of iron is intorposcd
abetwcon tho same matter and all in,
luirics directed from Democratic
sources.
