Our Washington Let 5er:

Washington, y. c., Oct. Goth, 1876.
Gone by one the roses fall" :
| private dispatch from Silver Srlln!
makes the sad announcement of the
death of Francis y. Blair. He wa;
perhaps the best informed man in thu
country concerning AL the political
changes through which the countr!
has passed in the last hall; century
Born at Arlington, Washington county
Va, April the l3th, l7ol, he was con
svGucntly in the c'it'l year of hi:
age. An active politician all his life
and il warm friend and able advisor
Of old Hickory Jackson, his nam<
has become a houSrl ,l., vu.u in al
most every family, and his death is
universally lamentcd.
The equestrian Statue of Mcphar'
son, which WAS unveiled here the day
before Yesterday, adds another to tie
works of Art, which adorns on, pub
lie Parks.
Washington can boast of possessing
in enduring bronze or MAJ bile, more
historic Americans than any other
city in the Union. We have eQnes
trian statues of Jackson, Scott, Me-
Phcrson and Washington, and num-
berless colossal STATUES of celebrated
men. Among them however, is one
that is a disgrace to the country.
refer to Grccnbonsh's What lyr call
it cc.taiul y not statue Of Washing
ton, which defavcs the East Capitol
grounds. Now, my idea Of statue
is, that It is intended to hand down to
coming ages the exact resemblance of
the person it is intended to represent
This thing has Washiugton's face,
and the figure is seated in al i'm
mense easy chair, nude, except ro-
man togo thrown over his shoulders,
aud sandals on his feet. In his hand
is a Roman short sword, and might
be readily taken for a gladiator rest
ing after severe struggle in the
arena. A splendid conception it is
likely to impart to coming genera
tons of the style of man Washington
really was. Justice to the memory
of the man and a due regard for the
intelligence OF the present genera
ton, demands that the thing should
be broken up and thrown into the
Potomac, or used in rcpaving Pom
sylvania Avenue.
The trouble in South Carolina an(
Grants last Proclamation furnish tho
chief topic in political circles. From
a comparison of the different account,
of the Canhoy massacre in that State
forwarded from Democratic, Rcpub
lican, and Independent sources, i
becomes evident that the slaughter o
the NLitc people was the result of ;
deliberately formed plan. A join
discussion of political issues had bct>
arranged, and it had been stipulated
that those who attended the mcctin!
of both parties should go unarmed

negroes were provided with guns

Immediately the blacks rushed to tn
