WAsIlINGToN, September 27.-If
some power would inform Chairman
Halo or Secretary Gorham. of the
Republican Congressional Commits
tee, what true Ropublicanism is,
there would be great saving of
stationery and stamps at hcadquar-
tors in this city. / visited the
place to-day and won't through it's
four stories, from basement to roof
The twenty rooms were all filled
with documents and clerks, and
each clcr!; was working as if the
salvation of tho country rested
upon him. Tho documents cover
all imaginable issues, and are more
diverse in this respect than before
the Maine election. The Committee
is shooting wild, in the hope of
bringing down game by chance.
This sending out Of documents,
whether by Democrats or Republi~
cans, sometimes produces the result
desired, but in nine cases out Of ten
the money is thrown away. The
time to influence men, except by
speaking, is gone by before the
documents are sent out. The true
way to reach voters iG to extend tho
circulation Of the papers thoy read
from day to day or from week to
week. BY and by the parties will
understand this better.
The absurdity of forsaking Grant
as IL candidate, by the Republicans,
simply because the party is shown
hy tho late elections to be going to
pieces, will become plain yet to the
dullest Radical. The difficulty in
his case, and it is the one Blaine, in
his advocacy Of Grant, is counting
on, IS III securing the nomination.
The politicians make tho Republi
can nomination, and they fear the
effect Of II third term nomination.
The truth is that Grant is stronger
than his party, and would receive
more votes, if nominated, than any
other Republican, He would not
be elected, of course, for, wore he
ever so strong, the iniquity of 1876
has made Republican success i'm
possible, But he would hold enough
of the party together to keep up an
organization, and give it success in
few States, which now seems to be
moro than any othor candidate
could do.
Senator Kirkwood, of Iowa, is
credited with saying that the Re-
publicans will lose four Districts
III that State. Vermont, NIaino and
Iowa have been reliable Rcpubli-
can States, but the people are tirod
of the issues on which tho party was
based, and hayo sought new ones.
The party has no life outside of
purely sectional questions, and
when these have lost their hold the
party dios. From the October
States, and especially from Ohio,
the news is extremely good, and
reports received at headquarters
from all sections arc favorable.
One Of the subjects which will
inevitably come before the next
Congress, If not before the present
one, is IL division of the Interior De-
partment. 1t is now an unwioldy
body composed of diverse materials. !
BY it patents and pensions
are granted, tho public lands |
managed and sold, the affairs
of the government in this District
looked after, tho Indians misman-
aged, and other dissimilar matters
attended to. The work is too much
for one man. He cannot in an or.
dinary term of office become familiar
with his duties. There are two |
propositions for u change. One is
to transfer the Indian Bureau to the |
War Department, and the other to
make the Patent Office an indopen- !
dent body. TO those may be added !
the transfer of the Pension Buroau4
to tho War and Navy Department.
All threo Of these will be discussed |
in the near future, and without
doubt ono or more of them will be
acted upon. AUSTIN.
