U1STINGTON QUIET.

Blessed are the people whose annals are
dull. So runs the old saw, which may be
modified into, Blessed is Washington when it
is quiet. After the satisfactory adjustment of
so many questions of extraordinary import
ance, the great excitement attendant thereon
settles into something like reposc. Society at
least is assured. Society, to its infinite relief,
now understands that there is to he Prcs-
dent, and consequently receptions at the
White House. Indeed, there has been one
already, and the gentlemen who report the
dresses on such OccasiOns-the black velvet,
the thread lace, the blue silk, and the pink
rbbOns-have issued the first bulletin of the
social campaign. After this Washington nat
uraly will be duller than ever. In the De-
partments the clerks will scribble and cipher
and sign and seal, anxious of course, each one of
them, to stand well with his new master but
the hum, the roar, the push, the rush of the
Inauguration are over; and we are glad of it.
The Government can attend to business, of
which there is enough to absorb a deal of
honest and earnest attention.
There is novelty about this condition of
things, a peculiarity, in fact which we be-
lieve is almost unprecedented. During the
very first week of new Administration the
oiiicc-seekers have lost heart, become de-
moralzed, given up the game, if not the
ghost, and are going home with fieas in
their ears and without commissions in their
pockets. There is really just little bit of
civil service reform in this fact alone The
chronic, persistent. heretofore irrepressibe
placc-hunter, with his hat and his valise full
of petitions and recommendations, may assure
President Hayes that Republican ruin can only
be averted in some distant district or county
by the immediate appointment of the memo
rialist to q position at once light and lucra-
tive. He may so assure the President if he
can get at him but there is the startling and
depressing difficulty of getting at him in order
that words of wisdom, advice, caution or en-
treaty mag be poured into his weary ears
Even when an interview is perchance secured
the new President is more likely to laugh good
naturedly at talk about the good of the
party" than he is tOf.s-:;lise to make some
thing of one of whom he knows nothing. The
most respectable mendicant feels that he must
depart while he has money enough left fol-
| travelling expenses, and he is departing, as We

THE SOUTH CAROLINA LETTERS.

The letters from Stanley Matthews and Mr..
Evalts to Gov. Chamberlain have been pub
hshed, and they do not seem to justify the
excitement under which Mr. Chamberlain tel
egraphed to Washington for an explanation.
In the first place Messrs Matthews and Evarts
wrote on their own responsibility, and offered
their advice in modest and friendly spirit,
showing no disposition to dictate, but ventur-
ing only rather vague suggestion. In the
second place the advice-if we can call it by
such positive term-was good. Mr.. Evarts,
it will be observed, made no distinct proposal
on his own account, and did not even express
q concurrence in the views Of Mr.. Matthews /;
he only invited suggestions from Gov. Cham
| berlain. Mr.. Matthews inquired whether it
would not be possible for the Republican
statesmen in South Carolina to arrive at can
accommodation which would Obviate the
"necessity for use of Federal arms to sup
"pOrt either government" and he assured
Mr.. Chamberlain that if he should sacrifice
| his abstract rights for the sake of the peace
of the community he would be entitled not
only to the gratitude of his own party but the
| respect and esteem of the entire country.
This is what Gov. Chamberlain calls " be-
"yond endurance" Why? Not because the
advice weakens his political position, for the
letters were private and personal, and nobody
knew of their existence until Gov. Chamber
lain himself made them public. And now that
they are public, most of us at the North will
be disposed to regard them as sensible and
well meant. The people have come to the
conclusion that the old plan of propping up
Southern governments by bayOnets is "beyond
endurance" and that any administration
which must be forced upon the acceptance of
the people by means of the United States
army is a curse to the State in which it exists
and to all the rest of the States too More
over there is a general unwillingncss that the
President should be compelled to interfere in
State controversies by deciding between rival
Governors and Legislatures Sometimes it is
necessary that he should do sO but the duty
is disagrecable one and its exercise Is always
viewed with uncasiness and disgust. There is
strong conviction just now that we have had
altogether too much armed intervention, aud
that Republican statesmen in the South are
bound to come to some accommodation y
which, as Mr. Matthews says, will give peace
TO the long distracted communities and relieve
the Republican party elsewhere of a cruel en-
bauasSment.
Messrs Chamberlain ard the rest must loci;
the situation in the face. Public opinion is III
revolt against them. Whatever basis there
may be for their present claims, the fact is
clear that their government does not rest upon
the consent of that part of the community
which is alone capable of sustaining govern
ment. They have tried force and have failed.
The North is not willing that they should Try
it much longer. If they cannot come to an

THE T1NDERBILT TESTAMENT.

At last we know distinctly upon what grounds
the will of the late Mr.. Vanderbilt is to be
contested by one or two OF his heirs at law.
The objections fled on Saturday in the office
of the Surrogate to the probate of the will are
numerous in their legal redundancy, but sifted
down they amount to but two First that the
testator did not sign, seal, publish, and declare
the document as and for his last will and testa-
ment ut all and secondly, that the will, if
executed at all, was obtained by the fraud,
" crcumventioD, and undue influence pressed
against and upon the said Cornelius Wander
"bilt deceased, by VIM. ii. Vanderbilt and
"Othcr persons unknown"
Upon which of these two inconsistent
grounds the contestants intend to proceed we
are not informed; but there is one point made
by them which is specially worth noticing.
They aver that Mr.. Cornelius Vanderbilt, "by
treason of delusion (morbid and mental), ma
mia, mental disorder, &c.," was disqualified
TO make any testamentary disposition. 1t is
then set forth that this mania manifested itself
in an unnatural desire and inclination "to
"perpetuate his name, wealth, and power
"by the concentration of his property in his
"son, William II. Vanderbilt" 1t is a ques-
ton whether the law will regard this desire,
even if it existed as an incapacitating mania.
If it be so. then a great many wills have been
left by niadmen, to which no objection was
made in courts of probate.

fact stated by the poet, that Hope springs ex-
ultant in the human breast. He dies some
times. but he never says die. While life re-
mains he is candidate for something. lie
considers himself quite as well fitted for one
place as anOther-and he Is generally right
upon that point, his only mistake being that
he is fitted for no place at all. He Will go
home now, if he has home to go to, but ne
will reappear in Washington IN June next
with the same yalise and the same petitions
and other papers. We wish he were more
capable morally of taking No" for an answer.
But he isn't; and he will continue TO bore

consolation is that under the new order OF
things he will bore and buttOn-hole to very
little purpose He will remain exasperatlng,
but he will not crook the pregnant hinges OF
the knee at the expense of the United States

great relief to understand fully that the doc
trine of President IIayes's letter OF accept

than he seized him by the hand, fervent-
~ shook it, exclaiming, "My dear fell

days later the young man received a
note from the lawyer Informing him that
the collection had been made. He called
upon him and was handed roll of bills.
AS he was counting them the lawyer re-
iterated his remark about the young
mans good fortune in coming to him
who knew his father, etc. The young
man, however, looked anything but
happy, for he found but SIS in the roll.
