called improvements being serious
damage to the property assessed. Add
to this nearly six millions dollars appro-
priated by the Government, and we have
thirty-three million dollars spent, stolen
and wasted. This is q sad showing up,
considering what we have got for 1t.
Those sixty odd miles Of wood pave
ments, men like Senator Sergeant have
been giving such glowing account to
their innocent constituents, are oil rot
ten, and will not even furnish fuel to the
poor. The pultice pavements have been
patched at an enormous expense, and
need patching again. Our sewers are an
acknowledged failure. The poverty
stricken cast-iron fountains we have are
simply disgrace. They were one of
Shepherds most shameless pieces of job
berry. And it must be confessed that in
all our boasted Improvements there is
not to be found one foot of first-class ma
sonry. What, then, it may be asked,
have we got for these thirty or more mil
lion dollars7 Two things are very GER
tain. We have got an enormous debt
and a very bad name The people of
Washington did not object to see the city
improved. They were in favor of i'm
provements, but they knew the charac-
ter of the men Grant had placed over
them; they knew they were thieves by
nature, and they objected to being first
bound hand and foot by them and then
plqndered and oppressed.
Hal these men been allowed to 60 on
six months longer; at least fve-eighths of
the little homes owned by poor men in
this city would have been as good as
confscated. That was the object Shep-
herd and his gang had in view, that be-
ing the quickest and cheapest way of
getting possession of it themselves.
These are the men who live in palaces
and ride in coaches. Society does not
point the finger of scorn at them. They
haunt their i'll gotten gains in our faces
every day. The history of their crimes
and robberies is familiar to us all, and
yet society bows and even takes off its
hat to them. Justice consigns to the
four walls of a prison the poor, starved
and shivering mendiCant, who steals
something to wear and something to eat,
Justices fingers are too dainty to even
touch these men, who, when they had
robbed the poor, con6ding freedman of
all he had, went to robbing the Govern
ment and the people of this city.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 4, 1876.
70 The Editor Of The World:
SR:-I notice that the New York Iri-
blne of this date reiterates the stale SLAM
der that 1 once named a child John
Wilkes Booth. General Charles Ewing,
of Ohio, in a recent letter to Hon. Chas
Ewing, of Ohio, an oid and prominent
Republican member of Congress, says he
knew, OF his own personal knowledge,
that the Wilkes Booth story was untrue
and the editor of the National Republican,
the organ of the administration, in its
issue of the oath ult., stated the same
fact. Yet the Tribune and kindred sheets
refuse to be satisfied. This baseless lie
has been time and again refuted, but the
masked and unmasked enemies Cf the
Democratic party are in such desperate
straits that they are forced into attacking
an obscure committee clerk to descend,
hyena-like, to begrime and pollute the
sacred portals of an infants gravel
If these tattlers, scribblers and penny
a-liners are Comforted in the repetition
of a bold and infamous calumny, so be it,
for there can be little difference, if any,
between a persistent and cowardly SLAM
derer and an assassin. And any person
who persists in circulating a malicious
falsehood has neither the integrity nor
the courage of an assassin.
This baseless fabrication originated
with one Rufus B. Bullock, the carpet
bag Governor of Georgia, in letter da-
ted "Willard's Hotel, May q, 1870" and
was addressed to the Republican Sena-
tors and Representatives in Congress who
sustain the Reconstruction acts" At the
date of this letter Bullock was engaged
in an effort to reconstruct" Georgia for
the second time, and some of his many
sins exposed, which somewhat exasper-
ated Ellis Excellency;" and, failing in
his sscheme to continue the robberies and
expressions of the people of Georgia,
this Bullock-this pink Of loyalty and
integrity-fled the State and the United
States, for the Governor of Georgia made
requisition for him on the Governor of
New York, but the officer in charge of
the warrant found him domiciled in Can
ada. And this is the individual, and his
copartners in crime, who have been and
are engaged to-day, for party and malic-
ious purposes, in giving publicity to a
foul SANDER. JAS. P. HAMBLEToN.
Clerk of the Committee on Ways and
Means.
P. S.-As the public seems, judging
from the frequent menti m of the fact,
greatly exercised about the naming of
my children, will state, for the benefit
of those who would like to know, that l
have son named Benjamin and one
named Oliver, neither of whom, however,
is called for Ben. Butler or Oliver P. Nor
ton. This explanation is made in antici
patton of the future, and for the Tribune
in particular. J.P.H

"S0ME DAY"

How much Of sweet truth and trust is expressed
n these few pretty llnes
"Some day" we say, and turn our eyes
Toward the far hills Of paradise.
Some day. some time, sweet, new rest
shall blossom, Aowerlike, in each breast.
Some time, some day, our eyes shall see
The faces kept in memory.
Some day their hands shall clasp our hands
Just over in the Morning Lands,
Some day our ears shall hear the song
OF triumph over sin and wrong
Some day some time, but oh not yet,
But we will wait and not forget.
That some day all these things shall be,
And rest be given to you and me.
d So wait, my friend, though years move slow,
The happy time will come we know

VIII the people never learn the
first principles Of common sense?
Laterly we have heard of some OF
the most bare-faced and outrageous
swindling operations In lightning
rods. There are fair and honest
men engaged in putting up rods,
and all such Legitimate business has
our approval, so far as they coniino
themselves TO fair and honest con-
tracts. But our complaint ia of the
people who are swindled ono week
and the next week fall ~ readily
into another snare. Swindling
lightning rod peddlers, and all
the list Of humbugs have their OPP
orators, and their victims are legion.
SO long and often, and so persistent
ly have, the papers warned the
people, and yet they are guled and
swindIed out OF what they need to
pay their honest debts. After all
that has been said, and the hun
dreds OF cases ofswindling reported
Of the cloath peddlers, still we learn
by our exchanges the same game Is
going on in various parts Of the
State. Ittries all our patience TO
know that our brad working
farmers will allow themselves to be
gulled In so many ways. Tho con-
tract and tho credit systems are the
most popular plans for circumvent-
ing the creditors. Look with sus-
picion upon all peddlers who want
you to sign contract to take any
thing ut some future time. If n
thing be worthy Ii can BIO sold and
paid for at the first az we'll rs Mt
some future day. But getting sub
scriptions and contracts to deliver at
a future day are nearly all swindles.
But we would again urge our farm
ar friends to wait until they have
Tho money on hand before they
,gree to take anything not really
necessary TO keep their families
rom suffering. Our State Is now
warming with swindlers under
various guises and pretenses.

HydrOpllObia.

NEW York Iriiune
1t Is with great reluctance that
physicians have admitted tho cxis-
tence Of such disease as hydropho-
bia at all but we fear that facts are
too strong to authorize much skep-
ticism. Too many deaths have oc-
CURED exhibiting Identical symp-
toms, following the bites OF dogs I'm
equivocaIly afflicted In the same
way. At the same time our knowl-
edge Of the real nature OF the disease
Is far from precise or satisfactory.
There seems to be no fixed period
intervening between the bite OF the
dog and the disorder of the patient.
OF two persons bitten by the same
dog at the Same time ono may die
and the other may escape. Some
times cautery ID followed by immn-
nifty and sometimes IL Is not. Some
times tho disease may appear to
yield to medical treatment other
than mechanical, yet even in such
cases there has been no uniformity
OF practice. All this, undoubtedly,
adds to tho terror with which hydro
phobia IL popularity regarded. A
resort to cautery Is shown by expo
rience to be safest. This, however,
must not be delayed. In all those
cases In which 10 is supposed to have
been eflectual, 1t was at once en-
ployed after the wound. We think
Ii may be laid down as rule, that II
there be such n disease as hydropho-
bia, cautery Is the only remedy
promising safety; and, therefore,
since 10 10 impossible to determine
whether the dog Is mad or not, every
person bitten by that animal should
cause the wound to be cauterized
with the least possible delay. So
well Is this understood that those
whose business requires them to
handle many dogs always carry the
caustic with them ready for any
emergency. Veterinary surgeons
claim that they have frequently been
bitten by dogs Enthusiastically mad,
and have escaped all its consequent
ces through this precautIon. The
statistics Of hydrophobia need occa-
sion no moro panic than those killed
by lightning. Those who do not
keep dogs arc almost rs likely to be
bitten ~ those who do; and as we
shall hardly be rid Of the creatures
altogether, we must take our chance
OF this curious disease, and trust in
this case, rs In 80 many other mat
ters, to a benevolent Providence.
