FROM WASHINGTON.
Especial Correspondents. Of the Sentinel ]


An eminent citizen on his return here last
Tuesday, after an interview with Mr.. Tiden,
reports that gentleman in substance, that while
he believed himself the lawfully elected ruler
of the country, yet hsd he followed the sdvice
OF coming TO Washington and being declared
| President by the House of Representatives and
going through the ceremony OF installation
| the Radical party would have resisted 10 the
extent Of drenchiug the land in blood, aud
while he felt ms much as any one the imp:oprie-
| ty of the means by which the present result
had been brought about, yet he shrunk from
the responsibility of precipltaiing another ter
rible civil war upon his countrymen, and so
far did not regret his action MS the people Of
the United States understand it the Demo
cratic party TO day occupies such proud
attitude before the country that no mortal
power could resist its triumphant march 10
| success 10 1850.
| Secretary Evarts, who has still the subject OF
issuing proelamat ton Of neutrality IT relation
TO the Turko- Russian wa. under consideration,
deems the necessity Of such aproclsmation IN
necessary as the ordinary-eSistiug treaties are
sufficiently well known 10 the public TO avoid
any violation o. our fricndly relations with
the European powers.

Before old Fuss and Feathers Sherman talks
any more nonsense about the,country' $ depend
snce upon the regular army he had better
consult the official history of his country in
regard to this valueess and expensive branch
of the government. Two years after Lee laid
down his sword at Appomatox, the corrupt
manipuaiors of the Republican party here in
Congress swelled the number to so, 900 men,
thus burdening the Taxpayers OF the United
States in time OF profound peace with a
wicked and wasteful outlay of about Sic, oO0,-

the volunteer forces, on whom we in this
country are compelled 10 rely in times oftrou-
bile. and there is no sort of reason for main

employees to keep what few Notifications we
have on our coasts in good repair
