WASHINGTON, ID. c., Aug. 5, 1876.
The late speech Of Mr.. Lamar, OF Miss, in
tended as a Democratic campaign document
and the one made yesterday bv General Gar
field are creating a great deal Of talk here by
those who we're fortunate enough to hea them.
They will be printed and widely circulated by
their respective campaign committees. Gener-
al Garfield was manly and fUrcible in his ar
gument in favor Of continuing the Republican
party in power another four years. Suffice it
IN say that his speech is characterized all the
way through by stubborn fact.
The fearful crime perpelrated at Hamburg
will never be atOned for until this detestablc
sprig of chIvalry and his cut-th rnat confreres
are dangling at the ropes end. Colored me n
in South Carolina should demand the speed v
trial and execution Of this villain Butler, and
OF every one who had a hand in the ira ransaction,
the Youngsters from Augusta included. Let
il positively be understood that in some way
the scoundrels must pay the penalty Of their
crimes, even II the lac cannot be made opera =
tive. and the sky Of the South will soon clear
aud the towards shrink 10 their holes.
Notwithstanding the opinion o. the Secretary
et. State sas nSesasa in bGiiF tiisnatNhte Com
mittee on appropriations, to which the dispatch
had been referred, that the repeating clause in
the Sundry Civil Appropriation Bill is correct
and that no further legislation is necessar v
The President has nominated Almon A. Clapp
the present Congressional Printer, for the Of.
fee Of Public Printer, agreeably to the provis
ions Of the new law.
No movement has vet been made In reduce
the fare from Washington 10 Philadelphia. As
soon as the cool weather commences the peo
| pie Of the whale country will be crowdng /,
the Great Exhibition. Those from the Yves
will desire to visit Washington as we'll, ant
| probably in some way will accomplish the oh
jcct. Eastern visitors, however, will be sub

dollar gree nback ought TO fili the bill for thu
round trip between the two places and includ
moderate subsistence. But the Philadelphia
Wilmington and Baltimore road is neither nat
riotc nor enterprising. We badly want gov
ernment-n postal route-between Washington
and New York.
