WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON, u. {
Anril 4 1878,


Hon. Montgomery Blair's resolution
which was passed by the Maryland
legislat ure, is topic OF general discus
sion. The Attorney General Of the
of the State is by it directed to show to
the Supreme Court Of the United
States the fact that Maryland was by
reason of frauds in the other States,
deprived of her just and constitutional
influence, in the Electoral College IN
1876 aud n recount of the electoral vote
by order of the Court is asked. Mr..
Blair's idea is ofcourse that the in.
yestigations to be made by the Court
will be thorough, and that the mat
ters the Electoral commission declined
to considerable frauds in Louisiana NC
will be inquired into. In order that
the Court may take acton in the case
an Act of Congress is necessary. and
that will be presented this week. MIR,
Blair is confident such an act will pass
without delay, and that Mr.. Tilden
will spend some portion Of the coming
summer in the White House, Mr.. Hay
es retiring. He slso believes that the
people will cordially welcome the change
and that it will create no more excite
ment than an ordinary legal proceed
ing. 1 have never doubted that Mr..
Tilden was elected, and was swindled
out of his seat. and that whenever the
case could be properly brought before
the Supreme Court he would have his
rights, and have not hesitated, as
your files willshow, to suggest methods
of action, but have not the faith that
that Mr.. Blair has in the early success
Of his scheme. There is no good reason
for believing that Congress will pass
the necessary bill. Mr., Blair is not, a
popular man, with either Democrats
or Republicans. The Democrats OF the
House, it is fair to suppose, will not be
more united on this than on other sub
jjects. Republicans, however much they
may dislike Hayes may hesitate to
take action which is morally certain to
result in the Inauguration Of aDemo.
cratic President.
However there seems to be no con-
stitutional objection to the proposed
action, and in good morals there is
every thing in its favor, and so l hope
that all the bright anticipations OF Mr.
Blair may be realized.

The San Antonio correspondent OF
the Galveston News does not think
that Mr., Schleicher committed the 'un'
pardouable sin by voting against the
silver bill; on the contrary thinks his
strength is uuimpaired. He says:
The fact that he was uninstrncted is
taken into due consideration by the
silver men, who, although differi ng
with him are not disposed to cruelty
him for an error. He is regarded as
a strong man, who can WELD greater
power in the interests of Western Tex
as in Congress than any other availa-
bic man who could be selected to sue

We are happy to say that our cir
,culation about Mountain City is in
'oreasing, notwithstanding the chronic
opposition of a very few persons, the
secret of which we have good reason to
believe is not what they SO unjustly
and foolishly allege-that we charged
the Mountain City people through our
paper with dishonesty-but grows out
of narrow local prejudice and blind po-
litical tigotry. This sort of opposition
we shall live down" there, as we have
at home--in fact we have already lived
itdown, with lightexception. Witness
the resolution to be found in the pro-
ceedings of the Sunday School Conven-
ton on our first page, which shows the
drift of intelligent public sentiment in
that quarter. We are gratified as this
expression of confidence, and assure
our Mountain City friends and all 9th,
theirs that we shall do our best to mer-
il its continuance Our bitterest enc
my will not presume to say that the
FREE PRESS has not been faithful to
the best interests of the communities
which it represents-a tsct which

of this month, passing through San
Antonio, thence to Bandera, and then
to my ranch, without trouble or acc'-
dent; found all up and lively; ewes
having lambs, and goats dropping kids
and all right. Well, after few days
looking around and regulating of my
flock 1 got all in proper shape. About
this time I had several parties OF visit
ors, and pleasure hunters and game
hunters, &C., also party OF surveyors
who persuaded me to take hunt with
them. We struck out across the beau
tiful rolling prairie covered with nice
grass, looking almost like wheat field
with here and there herd of deer or
lonely one by himself. After pass
ing across this beautiful prairie we
struck for the Frio and Neueces brakes
straight for the bear range, where we
arrived late in the evening, but early
enough to have a fat bears ribs for
supper. We had scarcely camped and
one of the party struck out to kill a
turkey for our supper, when he return
ed in haste, stating that there was a
fine bear within 300 yards of our camp.
Well, suffice to say we went for him
with sixteen well-trained dogs and six
unframed men, but we, or rather the
dogs, brought him to a halt, and ne
was dispatched in haste. We still
continued the hunt next day, killing
some deer, turkey, &c. AS to killing
deer and turkey, it is not much OF a
lob up here. We also went for bee
cave with the vim of men loving the
good things Of the earth. We got a
fine lot of honey, and after good
time in general, we returned to the
ranch and found all right and lovely.

The Rockdale Messenger says the
local paper is an absolute necessity to
the county and community where it is
published. All the city papers cannot
supply the place of the home paper,
The paper gives the county aud town,
where printed, much of importance in
the world, and gives in detail the local
news, which cannot be obtained
through any other source. Every
weeks issue of the paper is so much
local history; and the rise. growth and
development of the town and county
can be measured and recorded only by
the local newspaper that Is constantly
