washington Letter.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 4, 1878.
The first fall election in. which inter-
est isfelt is that in Maine. There has
been belief abroad in the land for the
last six or eight years that harmony in
the Democratic party, and able lead
ership, would have resulted in Demo-
cratic success. | shall not offend any
reader in that State by saying that lit
tie capable leadership has been known
in that time, and that harmony is, to
Maine Democrats, an unknown virtue.
They have seemed to delight in ruin
ing their own prospects over questions
which had no. proper place in their
councils, and thus to assist the enemy,
when, perhaps, he was at their mercy
/ do not expect much at the coming
election, but still hope that in the near
future the party in the State will take
such action as will at least make sue
cess possible. There are many men in
the Democratic party in. Maine whom
it would be pleasant to all good citi-
zens, and profitable to the country to
have III Congress. The result Of the
election next week win have consider
able influence in other States.
Hon. Fernando Wood failed signally
in his attempt to pass his customs bill
through the last House, and the indi-
cations were that even modified bill
would have been defeated. We may
be sure that radical change in that d.
rection will not be possible until the
public debt becomes understandable
and manageable and commerce and
industry assume something of a solid
and radical character. But Mr.. Wood
is not disposed to let the subject alone,
and everybody will be glad that his
special committee to inquire into the
executions of existing custom laws is at
work in New York. All men who i'm
port anything are constantly complain
ing on this subject. One official after
another tries to inaugurate reform, and
still the faults and the complaints con-
tinue. The largest importers will ap-
pear before Mr.. Woods Committee,
and intelligent statements of grievan-

In this issue Of the TRANSCRIPT we
commence the publication of the ad-
dress delivered at the harvest home, on
Thursday Of last week, by Senator
Bayard. 1t was a plain talk to the
people Of his State on the financial
questions, and the business depression
OF our county, and as such will be read
with widespread interest, not only here
in Delaware, but throughout the whole
country. 1t is plain and compre-
hensive address-one that will throw
considerable light upon many things in
connection with the cause of the hard
times that the people have for so long
failed to thoroughly understand. We
regret that owing to the great length
OF the address we are unable to publish
it in full this week, and it is possible
that we may not be able to complete
its publication until week after next,
but 1t will bear reading carefully, and
more than once, and our readers, by
receiving it in these instalments, wifi
have a better opportunity of digesting
ltas they go along. For thereport Of
this able address we are indebted 10

now broken out and is spreading thro'
Kentucky, and there is no hope of an
abatement of this terrible epidemic he
fore the advent Of frost. Chicago and
st. Louis have subscribed each over
$1,000, and New York over 100000

will be more liberal on similar occa-
sions in the future. No one can tell
how much ofour marvelously increas-

cles in the last year is due to the knowl-
edge of their excellence which was de-
rived by foreigners from the Centen-

the Democrats in disgraeing the House

The election in this State yesterday
has happily disappointed the hopes OF
the most sanguine Republicans. We
have been certain for ever q week that
victory would perch upon our banners.
but the most enthusiastic in our party
ranks did not dream Of such q glorious
triumph as that which time held in trust
for Us. That John Henry kinksad
would DO our neIt Governor. that Rollin
n. Dagsett would represent US for the
next two years in the lower House Of
Congress. and that John p. Jones would
be returned to the United States Senate
to complete the work Of the remonstiza-
ton OF silver. no good Republican has
doubted for some time. But that such
a Waterloo blow would be dealt to the
Democracy the most ardent Of Us dared
not to dream. We have routed the
enemy so completely that 1t 10 doubtful

WE would like to say to the City
Council Of Los Angeles, with its
voting for a new issue of 500, 900
in bonds, go slow, young men, go
slow. You cannot initiate Horace
Greeley's advice, and 60 west, the
ocean forbids that. So, as you
have to stay in Los Angeles, and
share in the lot of our people, be
wise and cautious in spending that
100000. The true course for the
Council is to find out to a dot just
what the City Of Los Angslos
owes. If they are afraid to face the
music they should be very chary
about piling up more debt. The
fact is that our municipal debt is in
reasonable compass, and we would
not suffer any very great incon-
venience from II 1t were funded.
This thing of having to pay it all
in lump is insufferable, Fund
the city debt and keep a tight rein
on the purss.strings thereafter.
