OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington, D. c., March 80, 1876.
GRANT STILL IN THE FIELD-WHAT
MOsEBY SAYS ABOUT 1T.

Washington, D. c., March 80, 1876.
GRANT STILL IN THE FIELD-WHAT
MosEBY SAYS ABOUT 1T.
have just seen Col. Moseby who is,
as you know, one of Grants right bowers.
He had just come from conference with
the President at the White House, and
he says that Grant is still in the field as
candidate for re-election-that he con-
siders the New Hampshire election an
endorsement of his administration, and
is determined, if possible, to secure a
third term. If this is true, we may ex-
pect some lively times with Blaine, Nor
ton and Co., who thought the Boss was
out of the race. They may not be will
ing to take back seats now.
CONNECTICUT WILL GO DEMOCRATIC.
A short time ago, Grants Washington
Ring sent man to Connecticut to re-
quest the Chairman of the Central Com
mittee of that State 20 make searching
investigation of the probable result of the
election on Monday, April 8. The
utmost pains were taken by the Connec-
ticut radical official, who was we'll paid
by Grants Ring for his labor, and was
requested to give the facts, and the facts
only. His report, which has just arrived,
has cast gloom over Ring circles. He
says that he regrets to be obliged to state,
as the result of his investigation, that the
Democratic party will certainly carry the
State by>a majority of about three thou
sand.
MONTGOMERY BLAIR
has created very perceptible stir in
political circles in Washington, by the
publication of letter in favor of Tilden.
The fact that Mr.. Blair is not a Tilden
man from personal preference, but from
what he conceives to be party necessity,
gives more weight to his views than they
would otherwise have. One thing is
noticeable in connection with this SUBJ
ject; there is growing disposition to
consider the interest of the party as
unit, rather than the interest of any one
section or faction. The man who can
carry the most States will be the nominee,
if these wise counsels prevail; and, who
ever he may be, Hendricks, Thurms
Bayard, Tilden, Davis or Parker, he WILL
receive the united support of party
organized for success, and not to be de-
feated by internal dissension. And to
insure success beyond the chance of fail
ure, he must be the man who can draw
the largest support from the ranks of the
enemy. Mr.. Blair, who was member
of Lincoln's Cabinet, says that Tilden is
the man, and offers strong argument to
prove it. There are men here to-day,
bitterly opposed to Tilden, because of his
attitude on the money question; but I
believe, from the tone of conversation
here during the past few days, that there
is determination to do nothing that will
imperil our success in the coming cleo
ton.
A GOOD WORD FOR THE DEMOCRATIC
HOUSE.
The dissemination of news from every
portion of the civilized world to every
other portion, by telegraph, has made
the correspondent commenter upon,
rather than an announcer of, events.
Just at this time, Washington is the
scene of rapidly succeeding incidents of
vital interest to the country; and to
faithfully chronicle the details of each
days news would take more space than
many times the limits of a letter. Many
things of Importance occur to which do
not even allude; because, before my let
ter can reach you, your readers will have
become familiar with the facts through
the telegraph. But the telegraph can
do no more than furnish bEief outlines,
and it is still the province of the corre-
spondent to supply the substance of such
information as may be of special interest
to the reader. The correspondent whom
you know, and upon whose truthfulness
you can depend, is of special Importance
to your readers at this time, when it is
the universal complaint of our party that
the telegraph has been used against us
in an attempt to create public opinion
adverse to the Democratic House. No
Congress has ever labored harder, or
accomplished more in the same length Of
time, than has the present one; yet the
impression has gone through the country
that valuable time has been wasted, and
nothing done. The work done has been,
much of it, of a character that renders
secrecy a necessity. And, while the
House may have appeared to do little,
the committees have labored necessarily,
night and day. In addition to the neces-
sary legislation, it has devolded upon
the House to unearth and drag to the
light mass of
RADICAL RAsCALITY,
official corruption and malfeasance in
Office, without precedent in the history
of any government. The rotten accumu-
lations of fifteen years of Republican
misrule are suddenly disclosed, and lie
fostering in thepublic sight. The abuses
and villanies which have been covered
up and winked at by the Republican
majorities of previous houses, it is the
duty of the present Democratic majority
to uncover, and to bring the guilty Off
cials to justice. This has been so well
