FROM WASHINGTON.


hhsHiNnIONs -. W JUNE W. ioil.
The favorable contract of our new four per
cent. bonds furnishes coed evidence that we
are settling down 10 IA good commercial basis,
| and il seems almost incredible that we at this
time could effect SO great loan Of our money
at par and upon so low rate of interest,"
! Capital is no longer attracted by the promises
of ruinous rates OF interest, bat is seeking safe
] investment at reasonable rates A great re-
| sponsibility rests upon the Administration at
this time, as il is particularly important that
its financial policy be wise and conservative,
and kept free from any wildcat speculative
enterprise.
! Chief Justice Waite has rsturned to our
city from his Circuit Bench DUTY 10 the South,
where he was the recipient OF profuse social
| attention, and is pleased with the marked era
| of good feeling among all classes, particularly
the kindness shown the blacks by their old
masters, among whom cordial warmness Of
reciprocity prevails, and disposition on all
| sides TO do away with sectional strife as well
| AS ''color-liues'
Shortly after Mr. Hayes occupied the pres-
dental chair, he detailed Gen. JOS H. Porter
to olIiciate as Governor OF the Soldiers Home
near this District, which is looked upon as the
most pleasant of the numerous desirable army
positions about the city, and quite a feeling OF
jealonsy has both arisen aud been carried into
effect by the Adjutant General, as well as the
Surgeon General, laying before Mr.. Hayes
written request asking for the revocation Of
the order detailing Gen, Porter.
The speeches Of Messrs. Til1en and Hen
bricks in New York, are creating no little
| commotion in cabinet circles here. They are
understood to mean that proceedings Will be
brought in the Supreme Court by quo war-

out any partisan or personal bias, as Mr..
Tilden will not inaugurate a contest merely
for the sake OF agilating the public mind. lie
is backed up in this move by prominent men
Of both political parties, who are eontempta-
bly, dissatisfied with the administration pre-
tention to the presidential chair
Since the arrival of Animal Mathews in
our midst, he has absorbed the attention OF
Mr.. Hayes with fears ahou: the coming Ohio
election, and its loss 10 the Republican party at
the same time attempting to devise some means
| by which he could secure full term of six
years to the Senate in addition to the short
lime for which he has been elected. The
chances Of a Republican Legislature are so
uncertain in that State, that he wants all the
| help he can obtain from the Administration.
Secretary Sherman's financial policy--if
| he or any one else can even as much guess as
to what that policy is from his almost daily
contradictory announcements the silver
and greenback question-will, If persisted in,
| plunge the country again into disastrous agi-
tation and weaken the present partially settled
business status of the whole community -
| Give US (a) change, Oh Mr.. Hayes.
The entirely spontaneous act of Mr.. HAYES in
| appointing Prof. Lowell 10 the Spanish Mission
was not, as has been published, in pursuaace Of
| any bargain. The report to that effect being a
canard set afloat by dissatisfied Radicals TO
| draw allies from tho administration Republi-
cans.
The Administration in speaking of the
| finances was pleased to say that he had given
the silver question good deal of careful re-
| Election and deemed II his duty in his coming
message TO Congress to recommend the re-
monetizaion of silver, and alluded with pride
and satisfaction to the new contract with the
syndicate for the sale Of the four per cent
bonds, as it was evidence of the faith aud
confidence displayed by the greatest hnanciers
| in the world, in the strength of our Republic.
| aud all the efforts of the cabinet would be 10
| shape such policy 10 the future as TO
courage and continue this confidence thereby
restoring our former commercial activity.

heat and still boiling, aud he swears that
when the action OF Mr.. Hayes in suspending
him from Office, comes up for review by the
Senate, a bitter fight will ensue, rs well as the
exposure Of lat presently supposed facts that
will make Mr. Hayes weep with anguish, and
at the same time defeat bis action. Colonel
Wharton, the successor of Piikin, left last
Tuesday with his commission freshly signed
and will take possession Of the marshal
office Immediately upon the filing Of his bond,
500, 900.
The Administration whilst denying that he
ever used the term 'carpet-bagger" at the
same limo announces that it would not be
part OF his policy to appoint to office Northern
men who went TO the South merely for the
object OF procuring federal positions.
special messenger from our Minister AT
Mexico who arrived this week brought
voumnous amount of dispatches, the general
purport Of which are that that Rupublic,
Country, Kingdom or what ever kind of gov
ernment they have there, is full of discouteuted
army officers, and the people are in a state Of
unsettled, tumultuous excitement, not know
ing what to do and when 10 do it, Our govern
ment here will certainly not recognize Jose
Maria Malta. who comes as the representative
Of Diaz, as he Diaz is unable 10 maintain
himself, whilst Lerdo, his opponent also
seems 10 be unable to effect any stropg hold
upon the feelings of The populaee
