OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON, D. G., Dec, 10, 70.
1t is hardly fair yet to say that
the proposed attempt to cut down
Government expenses, has been
abandoned by the democrats incIud,
ing those on the House sppropria'
ton Committee, who had determined
to attempt such reduction, but the
very earnest desires for early ad,
ioarnment will probably prevent
their realizing all they desired.
The Pensioo appropriation bill and
the fortiiication appropriation bill,
reported to the House on Thursday,
were yesterday passed without oppo-
sition. The former owing to the
arrears of Pension bill of last winter,
is some two or three millions more
then last year. The Military Acade>
my bill will be reported before the
holiday adjournment, and pass the
House. Efforts will be made TO get
prompt action in the Senate on these
three bills. Other appropriation bills
will be ready whenever the House,
after the holidays, is ready for them
1t becomes more and more plain
every day that Greeuback Legislation
is not to be expect at this session -
Senator Bayard's calculation that
his resolution to ''denationalizs'
greenbacks would have majority
of votes 10 the Senate is not borne
out by events. At It's meeting yes
terday the senate Finance Commit
tee postponed until after the recess,
consideration Of this resolution and
Of all other financial measures be,
fore it, including the Warner silver
bill, and the bill authorizing ex
change of standard silver dollars fol
trade dollars.
The Senate democrats exhibit such
| generosity in allowing the radical
minority a larger number of em-
ployees than was conceded by a
radidal majority to them at any
| time.
An evidence of the interest felt in
the Mississippi River improvements
is in the numberless communications
received by the House committee
on that subject. There are no less
than dozen parties surveying the
river from Cairo to the gulf. The
committee will ask consent 10 make
personal inspection of the river, and
will no doubt be authorized TO do so.
1t is noticed as proof of the "re>
form in the civil service" that Ex-
Senator Ramsey of Minnesota just
appointed to the war department. by
| Mr.. Hayes, had no connection what
ever with the fraud by which Louis
ana was stolen from Mr.. Tilden. He
was not even an attorney ia the
case.
The case of Senator Ingalls, was
to be further heard by the Senate
Committee on elections to-day, but
hearing was postponed. The Com
mittee will probably not report in
this case or in the Kellogg Spofford
case until quite late in the session.

S.. Louis Post Dispatch "Sena
tor Gordon, of Georgia, 10 an inter-
viev, few days ago, said he be
lieved the true policy for the South
ern members to pursue in Congress
this winter was to make no reply to
the bloody shirt onslaughts that
would be made by Republican mem
bers. This is right. 1t is a severe
trial for a man TO sit still and hear
bis country and his people slandered,
bat there IS sometimes more virtue
in forbearance than in resistance,
and there is sometimes more real
courage 10 being silent than there is
in speaking. The plan of the Re
publicans is clearly outlined. Their
policy is to be aggressive, unreason>
able and bitter
