Washington Letter.

From our Special Correspondent
Washington. d, c., March 20, 1877.
The Senate adjourned last Saturday,
its two last acts being TO confirm the
Presidents appointment of Hon. Fred
Douglass to the Office of Marshal for the
District of Columbia, and to authorize
a committee to investigate the legality
of Growers election to the Senate. The
Committee was appointed, money for
its expenses appropriated, and is to sit
during the recess. There is much talk
about an extra session, but nothing
definite is known in regard to it.
The chief interests of the political
world are now concentrated upon the
South Carolina and Louisiana Govern
ments. Delegations and petitions are
continually pouring in upon President
Hayes, but that gentleman does not In
the least commit himself, although listen
ing patiently and respectfully TO all
complaints and grievances. He simply
replies that he shall give the matters re-
ferred TO his most serious attention, and
that il is his intention 10 have the
affairs settled as SOou as practicable
The Carbon advocate. [volume] (Lehighton, Pa.) 1872-1924, 1877-03-24

There Low seems no doubt that an
extra session of Congress will have to
be called, on account of the failure of
the Army Appropriation bill. 1t is
claimed that subsistence and clothing
for the army could be furnished under
existing law until the regular session
of Congress, but the officers and men
cannot be paid after June Both, the end
Of the fiscal year, without an appropria-
tiOn by Congress for the purpose. The
total amount required to pay the army
is s12, ,075. Although the mer
might be fed and clothed until Decem'
Der, the failure to pay them would cause
great dissatisfaction and much priva'
tion, as they are forbidden by law tC
hypothecate their pay.

MOIlieism.
The following extract is taken from a
letter dated Pittston, March IA, and
written to the N. Y. Daily Graphic, by
Susan E. Dickson
80" 1t is definitely and strongly al
legged that the " Molly Maguires" are
secretly re-Organizing themselves
throughout Schuylkill, Carbon and
Luzerne counties. The majority of
those who belong to them are, of course,
men over whom the Church lost con-
troll before they connected themselves
with such an organization. They be-
long wholly to that class from which
come the desperate criminals of all CON-
munlties, metropolitan or rural. There
is no class that stands in more bitter
opposition to them than the true, honest
Iaboring class, the great bulk of the
miners and laborers. But they are kept
in countenance by two different sets of
people. First, certain class of local
politicians who are willing to affiliate
with even known criminals il these can
control votes. There is now before the
Pennsylvania legislature bill to take
away their charter from the Ancient
Order of hibernians, and 1t is openly
The Carbon advocate. [volume] (Lehighton, Pa.) 1872-1924, 1877-03-24

charged that number of these mani-
pulators are in Harrisburg, working
diligently for the defeat of the bill al
so to secure pardon, if possible, for the
convicted Molly Maguires," none of
whom have as yet been executed. The
other set of people who are keeping the
organization in heart and hope, are
scattered all over the cOuntry-people
who choose to look on the contest in
Pennsylvania between law and order on
one side, and this desperate criminal
Order, the worst enemy of the laborer,
on the other, as a contest between capi-
tai and labor, between the coal corpora
tions and the miners. AS already
stated, nothing could be more false.
But there are papers-some of them
published in New York, notably the
Irish WoIld-devoted to sustaining
these false views. And the District
Attorney of Carbon County, residing in
Mauch Chunk, is overwhelmed with
letters from humanitarian societies, far
and near, protesting against the execu-
ton of the convicted" Molies," as
victims of conspiracy of capital" If
there are further outrages 10 the coal
regions, before the Church and the Law
together have put an end to the infa'
nous organization, the heavy responsi.
bility will chiefly rest on the maudliu
humanitarians, whose spmpathies al
ways go out to crime and criminals, in
stead of their innocent victims. But
forewarned is forearmed, and the great
mass of the laboring community in the
coal regions will fight to the bitter enc
against any revival of the influence o.
Molly Maguireism."
The Carbon advocate. [volume] (Lehighton, Pa.) 1872-1924, 1877-03-24

Says the Public Ledger of Wednes-
day: II there should be no further
change in the programme, the currant
session of the Pennsylvania Legislature
will come to an end in few days-a
consumation most devoutly to be wish
ed, for, so far as the House is concerned,
1t is sheer waste of the public money
to continue that body in session. 1t is
doing as much mischief as good in a
legislative way, and is bringing discre-
dit to the State, just as its predecessor
did. The last House (under the party
control of Democrats) was noted for the
gross irregularity, confusion and turhu-
lence of its proceedings; and the pre-
sent House (under control of Republi,
cans) is making long strides toward:
earning like reputation. The two ot
them have caused a strong revival Of
the Old-time feelings of apprehension
when a session of the Legislature be
gins, of disgust while it continues, anC
of glad relief when it adjourns with
out q day."

"A Republican Congressman having
called on Secretary Schurz to inquire

day.
The auditorium Of the Scaton public school
building was more than comfortably filed
yesterday by the parents and friends of the
young ladies composing the advanced gram.
mar school, Of which Miss Lane Is teacher.
The young ladies were attircd In pure white,
with natural flowers for hair ornaments The
floral decorations were superb. The examine
ton was conducted by Trustees Hovey, s. p.
Brown, Gen. William II. Browne and Supcrin-
tendcnt j. Ormond Wilson, and the teacher of
the school, Miss Lane.
The questions propoundcd were of the most
difficult nature, and the young ladies acquitted
themselves in u most admirable manner, not
falling in single instance to promptly and
correctly answer each and every mtcrrogatory
prop,unded to them by the examiner, and the
teacher Of the advanced gnmmer school Of
the District has every reason to congratulate
herself upon the attainments of her pupils, for
which she has laborcd SO hard. The exaniina.
tion and closing exercises were conducted In
the following order:

Physical Geography; song, stay notlny Anguish,
,,hysics; song, The Wind whispers Low" General

In most Of the advanced grades Of schools
the matter Of penmanship is almost entirely
neglected. Not so, however, with this school,
for In this branch of study they arc certainly
proficient, and the specimens exhibited yester.
day were gems of the art. The musical excr-
ciscs were conducted by Prof Joseph II. Dam
iels, the musical director of the District schools.
