WASHINGTON. ID. c., Ang. O, 1877.
Tue DEARTH.

Party nolitics. civil service reform, the
Southern policy the Speakership, aud all
the subjects with which the people busted
themselves, were lost sight of last week III
consequence ce of the excitement about the
rail Rad war, which will account for onr
failure to supply you with our regular let
ter.
THE RESULT AT CLEVELAND, OHIO,
over the nominations, pleaseth the Cabinet
'.muchl,, )" and the hand shaking congratu-
lations at the vic ory Of Hayes Sou hern
policy has been-well, tremendous-and
we should not be surprised it the thing
don't wind up with big spree by the high
contracting parties, for We are satisfied that
some contract or other was made 10y 'the
folks here with the doubtful delegates as
to the non contraction of the currency !;
otherwise there would not have been such
a unanimity of feeling, as well ab such
terrible 'set back to old Ben Wade and
the rest of the Radical RAIDS. Judge West
was Sherman's candidate, and therefore we
do 10. hesitate 70 say that the finance plank
was fixed up by the folks" here, you
know. The German nominee for Lieut..
Governor has not been in this country very
long, aud was of course placed upon the
ticket to s.ketch the Dietcherman' vote,
which, together with the visit OF Mr.. Dayes
to the Schurtzen Park, in this city, few
days ago, it is hoped by she folks" here,
will secure Ohio to the Republicans in the
coming election. But we shall expect our
Democra ic friends to be alive 20 this dainty
dish and give the RAIDS Of Ohio aiming
up.
THE sPEAKERSHIP.
In view of the strenuous exertions of
Randall, Cox, Sayler aud Morrison, in ex
acting the support of members elect in
their own behalf, it will be almost lmpossl-
ble for the Southern members TO unite on
any one of their section, and they VIII
hardly attempt to organize the House upon
Southern basis in October and before the
fall election shall have taken place. Were
the House to convene in lis regular course,
next December, without doubt some such
effort would be made, but policy demands
otherwise at present.
OUR BONDS,
The accounts of the late strikers riots
sent over the water, whilst they have had
the effect to alarm European investors,
have moi affected the price of our bonds,
owing 20 the confidence felt in Uncle Sam
uel's ability not only to pay his debts, but
also to put down insuri ection 4; and while
the demand for them is a little tardy at
present there is a demand none the less.
JUDGE KELLEY,
of your State, while condemning the finan-
cial policy of the Treasury department ard
assigning it as a cause of The late strike,
forgets that for sixteen years in Congress
he supported the party which has present
control of Uncle Sans money bags, and he
himself advocated similar policy in all
the departments of the Government. 1t is
the old story of the pot calling the kettle
black. Bah, Kelley!
THE RICHMOND REVENUE.
Quite number of Virgnians have Wis
tied us within the past week ano preferred
charges against their newly appointed
Revenue Collector, Russell. The charges
against him will be Investigated, but it is
thought by the Administration that there is
nothing i'm them and that the real objection
to Russell is the fact that he is not native
of the State. There are a great number of
applicants for Russeli's position, none of
whom, it is thought, will be successful if
he is removed, although from present in
dications we think he will ''hold the fort"
THE ADMINISTRATIONS,
whilst at all times ready to assist the State
authorities in the preservation of peace and
good order, lcthfully gave the order for
the use Of The L. S. troops, deemiug it best
that the State authorities should suppress
all internal disorder, and had they been
prompt at the first tbrcak .he rioters
would not have gained such headway. The
political advocates of central government
will make the late disturbances a strong
argument in the advocacy of their cause in
Congress, and the opinion here seems to be
that there will be no reduction of the army,
while at the same time propositions to in
crease it will most assuredly be hOtly urged,
the result of which cannot be now fore
shadowed. But we are inclined to believe
with Mr.. Hayes that the Sta,e forces should
be made sufficiently strong 20 suppress all
disorder, it being the most practical as we'll
as economical.
THE SOUTH AND THE STRIKE.
The good effect of Mr.. Hayes Southern
policy has been happily illustrated in the
recent riotous demonstrations at the North.
Had the Government upheld Chamberlain
and Packard with L. S. troops, it would
have been necessary to withdraw them i'm
order to put down the strikers riot, when
an uprising of the people Of those States
would have taken place as against Packard
aud Chamberlain, and the Government
would have had To cope with a rebellion
North aud South at the same time. AS it
turned out, the Administration found itself
relieved from any danger to the public
peace in the Sou:b and Mr. Hayes is feel
ing considerably pleased at the orderly
spirit and sympathy from that section.
Had the Government found a necessity for
volunteers the Southern quota would have
been rapidly completed and the gray been
seen mingling with the blue in the cause of
peace and gooc order.
TEXAS PACIFIC.
The efforts On the part of this road are
again agitated, with renewal of it's old
advantages, since the labor strike, and it's
friends are more sanguinc of success than
they have been at any time since Congress
adjourned. Any number OF petitions, sign
ed, by mary orkingmen, will be presented
to Congress asking the passage of the
Texas Pacific bill.
THE SITUATION.
Some say Hayes is to blame for the late
labor riots /; another that Secretary Sher-
man, of the Treasury portfolio, is the cul-
prit because of his financial policy still;
another b!ames President Garrett and Mas
ter of Transportation Sharp, of the Balti-
more and Ohio rail road and still another
demands Tom Scott's scalp, whilst the av-
erage mortal grunts disapproval of the
