more than to any other Representative,

WASHINGTON LETTER.

From our Special Correspondent I
WASHINGTON, D. G., Nov. 9, 1878.
The last session of the 10Th Congress
commences early next month, and con-
tinues until March 4, 1879. I am now OF
opinion that not much of political policy
will be attempted by either party. Mr..
Hale, Of Maine, on his permanent retire
msnt from Congressional life, may choose
to- be nuisy and ugly, instead of serene
and forgiving, as becomes dying man,
and a few other radicals, knowing that
after the close of this session power passes
for an indefinite tTme anto Democratic
hands, may follow Mr.. Hale. But I look
for moderation on both sides. A serious
.r;s;s in our financial affairs is at hand.
During the session the Treasury will re-
sume or attempt TO resume specie payment
| after suspension Of halt 3 generation, and
this important fact, if nothing else, will
have sobering influence on patriotic
men, There will be no great political
excitement in Congress between this time
and the 4th Of March next.
Tn a few days the House Committee or
| Appropriations will meet in this city, ~
:. u.ual before the "short session." ant
prepare tho appropriation bills for subnis
zion at an early day Of the ses sion. 1t |
vsll understood that, except in the pen
sion bill, there will be considerable rsduc
tions from previous years.
