Our Washington Letter.

Special Correspondence Of the OBSERVER
w AsnINGToN, DC, Sept.14, III
Mr.. John Lynch said yester-
day that the new Administra-
ton paper would appear on the
lst of October. This is The
second or third postponement.
Probably Mr.. Lynch, who is
determined TO have the paper
support the Administration, is
waiting for the Administration
TO come up 10 his ideas of what
he should support. Mr.. Lynch
is an honest man and would not
endorse the Administration
while Mr.. Hayes and his Cabi-
net are in Ohio engaged in a
tlagrant violation Of their own
civil service rules. The paper
will be of first-class mechanical
appearance, and will be ably
edited. OF course it viii have
struggle for existence, but the
capital back oft, besides the ex-
pccted government patronage,
lis said to be ample.
1t is remarked with surprise,
Mr.. Hayes visit to Ohio being
placed by him on the ground of
a visit to his old comrades Of
the volunteer army, that the on
lily member of his Cabinet who
was in any sense "comrade.
remains carefully away from
the party. Schurz, the only
soldier Of the Cabinet, and I'M
derstood TO have inspired the
Administration in It's civil SER
vice reform measures, shuns the
electioneering expedition in
Ohio and remains in his Office
His refusal to accompany the
party may. have led tothe state
ments lately made by friends
of the Administration that
Mccormick was to be made
Secretary of the Interior, Schurz
being offered, ON retiring, 9
Foreign Mission. However
this may be, he is entitled tc
credit under the circumstances
for keeping out of the Ohio
campaign.
All that was ever charged a.
gainst the carpet-bag govern
ment of South Carolina and
more, has been shown TO be true
by the late Investigations and
by the confession of Ex-State
Treasurer Parker. The pic
ture is hardly relieved by any
development of honesty found
anywhere in the whole infamous
affair. South Carolina has done
her duty; Mississippi got rid
of her Governor by impeach-
ment; and it remains for Louis
lana, where the fraud Of men
produced the highest and most
dana cling results-cyen the ell
ovation of defeated man to
the Prcsidency-to thoroughly
investigate and punish as the
other States have done and arc
doing.
A native citizen of Arkan-
sas, now here, has put on file
an application for appointment
as U. S. Marshal for the East
ern District. of Massachusetts,,
He says his appointment will
help to restore that equilibrium
between the States and sections
which would do so much for the
peace and prosperity of the
country. The Marshal for Ar
kansas for the last eight years.
he says, is and always has beer
citizen of Massachusetts.
II has been lately said that
| Secretary Eyarts would speak
in defence of the Administra.
ton in New York at an carly
day. This would create a COM
plication, the like of which has
never been known in ourpolitics
Senator Conkling, a sup
posed opponent of the Admin
istration, is the foremost Re-
publican candidate for Senator
in that State, to which position
he or some one else must be
chosen by the Legislature to be
elected this Fall. Should Sec
rotary Evarts go TO New York
10 assist in choosing a Legisla.
ture in opposition to Senator
Conkling, certainly his efforts
must either help or injurc the
chances of the Senator.
There has just been entered
here a suit against an employC
of the Government for the nos.
