WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Msy 8, 1878.
The Boston "Post" which Is not only an
organ of what may be called the most con-
sentative Democracy, but which also has
peculiar relations with the monied men OF
New England and the East, uses the fol.
lowing language In Its issue Of the 4th. The
proposition to investigate the electoria]
frauds in Florida is eminently proper. The
threat of the Republicans to compel the eys
tension of the investigation to other States
is neither here nor there. The one point to
be considered ia this, that officers Of cleo
tions in Florida have confessed to the crimi-
nal alteration of returns, which crime caused
the declaration of Hayes's election. Ger
tainly such confession In so grave mat
ter needs to be confined or contradieted. II
is impossible to see how Congress having
any regard for the liberties OF the people or
the security of oor institutions could refuse
to take cognizance Of such q matter and
trace out its foundation. It is . case in
which partisanship Is not to be considered,
but the honor of the nation. Because OF its
character given above, the utterances Of the
Post are entitled to great weight. What II
says goes far to show that appropriate &C.
tion by Congress on tho subject of Mr.
Hayes's title will not interfere with the
general business. There has been no decent
argument against Investigation but this.
Our sdvices are that Eastern Democrats
are unit for investigation.

DELAY IN AUDITING THE ACCOUNTS OF THE
PARK DEPARTMENT-THE MEN DISCOURAGED.
Through tcchnicaty in the auditing of accounts
by the Department Of Parks the poor laborers en-
ployed on the Riverside Park have been deprived of
their wages for nearly three months. During that
protracted period strenuous efforts have been made
by Messrs. wenman and Conover to have this dead
lock removed. Their action however. was no.
cessful. although earnestly pressed The laborers,
finding no relief at the approach of the Christmas
holidays sent deputation to the Park Department
to represent their grievances Mr.. Wenman received
them coureously. and after patiently listening to
their appeal said that he had foresccn the present
difficulty and had used his Official influence to have
il averted but his opinions and exerons were over
rnied that exception, lie said. had been taken by
the treasurer of the Board to the manner IN which
the work had been performed and on that account q

pointed-one by the Park Department, by the
Comptroller and the third by the contractors-tp de-
termne the truth or xlsty OF these allegations with
instructions that these experts should report back to
the Board at the earliest possible moment Since the
appointment Of that commission short time ago there
had not been an opportunity to have the question
under discussion determined.

It was however Mr.. Wenman represented in

son. that they should he made the innocent sufferers.

Mr.. Conovcr concurrel in this view Of the case and
also expressed his willingness to comply with any
reasonable demand to relieve the present necessities
of the laborcrs but when the subject presented
in this light to Treasurer Lane he recorded his
phatic protest to the proposition. and hence the
memorial OF the delegation was rejected.

were Of no avail. President Wcninan waited upon the
