LETTER FROM WASHINGTON.
ESPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE MoN1ToR.]
WASHINGTON, ABR. /, 1879.

ESPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE MONITOR.
WASHINGTON, Apr. /, 1879.
The new rebellion of the Democratic
party against the Government has re-
ceived many set backs within Two weeks.
The Republicans have made several
sorties, as it were, from their defences,
and damaged their assailants materially.
The thrusts of Blaine, Edmunds, Hoar,
and Conkling in the Senate have been
followed by some heavy blows by the
Republican leaders in the House. The
most notable and effectual of these was
the speech of Gen. Garfield, which was
one of the best and soundest ever heard
in the House. His remarks were aimed
at the political legislation concealed in
the army bill, but as he said that legis-
lation was not the most dangerous feature
of the present movement; it was the
method through which it is sought to be
enforced that creates alarm all over the
country. The Democratic threat is that
If they cannot have their way they will
override the veto power, trample on the
right of minority, and stop the wheels
of Government. In short, they mean to
revolutionize the country because they
have a temporary ascendency in one
branch of the Government. How easy
it would be for desperate and unscru-
pulous party to ruin the country without
resort to violence becomes apparent when
we contemplate the mischievour posi-.
bilities of the present program. That
which we could quickly defeat by arms
in war becomes more difficult in diplo
macy and peaceful intrigue. To stoI

away not only its power but the respec

it. Hence should Congress for two year
refuse to vote supplies, the Government
would stop; it would be paralyzed, anc

The obstructive power of the Green
hackers in the House was shown on Sat-
urday. 1t was their purpose to have
a regular session Monday at which they
could introduce bills embodying their
peculiar notions of benevolent finance.
The majority does not wish any bills
introduced until the regular committees
are appointed, and accordingly adjourned
until Tuesday. BY this course one com
plete day was lost on the Army bill,
but this was an inconvenience to which
the Democrats were obliged to submit
at the dictatiOn of the little squad of
resolute Greenbackers. The incident
was unimportant in itself, but it demon
strates that the majority has by no
means complete command of legislation,
and that the Greenbackers may, on Oc-
casion, compel them to make substan-
tial concessions in order to carry out
their programme. If the power which
lies in the Greenbackers' hands should
be put forth at critical period in the
development of the plans of the MAORI
ty, very considerable results might fol-
low, and it is evident that the action Of
the Democrats is gradually bringing the
GreeDbackerS to a temper which will
make them use their power relentlessly.

THE CAPTURE OF THE CAPITOL.

The following will show how they are
rejoicing, down South, over the political
capture of Washington by those who
failed to capture it fifteen years ago
with bayonets:
Yes thank God We HAVE CAPTURED
THE CAPITOL, and in 1880 our man
(Thurman) will walk up the White House
steps and take his seat in the Presiden-
tial chair. Then will our glorious tri.
umph be complete Then aOiH zoe pro-
coed to tear your amendments from tie
Constitution AND TRAMPLE THEM IN THE
MIRE Then will we reorganize the
RIGHT OF sECEssIoN-A RIGHT THAT Is
NOT DEAD, BUT sLEEPING Then will we
decorate the Capitol with the pictures of
DAVIS, and LEE, and STUART, and
all the glorious leaders of CAUSE THAT
IS NOT LOST BUT LIVING STILL! Yes,
thank God we HAVE the Capitol.
This was taken from the Okolono
States, published in Mississippi. We
have in the MONITOR office letter from
the editor of that paper, Will H. Herman,
in which he says his paper is straight
out Democratic, and believes in the
divine right of secession" He signs

Col. Lowe, one of the National"
Representatives from Alabama, is likely
to fall into dlsrepute with his Southern
brethren if he persists in telling what
he knows about bull DOING in the South.
Being National, he found, in his late
canvass, that "the ruling race" were
determined to crush him and his sup
porters unless they sought the reforms
which they desired through the Demo
cratic Party. Col. Lowe, an ex-Confed-
crate, and an antl-Republican, thus con-
firms the statements concerning the bull
DOING of Southern Nationals. Some
equally explicit and authentic reports
are made by other Southern Greenback-
ers, and the Greenback men in Congress
may well pause before they lend them,
selves to the overthrow of the law which
is designed to guarantee free suffrage.
CuriOusly enough, the negroes, who can
not vote the Republican ticket, are
thought likely to train with the Green
hackers, as there they find some show of
protection. What new phase of politics
may arise from this, it is impossible to
predict.

THE WINTER.

The present winter, reckoning the fall
of snow as the commencement, was very
late in beginning, but hangs on with old
fashioned pertinacity. There have been
over hundred days of good sleighiug.
The only two severe storms were those
of January lst and April lst, each of
which was heavy and accompanied
with winds that badly piled the snow
into the roads. The temperature has
been unusually even, there having been
little severe cold weather, and not a
single big thaw. The snow fall has not
been unusually heavy, but it is deep for
the season of the year, at this time.
Last week was almost the worst week Of
the season, snow, wind and temperature
considered.

FIVE PERSONS BURNED TO
DEATH.

A SAD aHalr occurred IN the village OF
Claremont, N. H., Saturday morning,
March 29th, when five persons lost their
lives in a fire which destroyed the prin-
cipal hotel in the place. At about one
o'clock on the morning named Riley
Deming, one of the proprietors of the
Tremnnt House, ~vas avvaLonod by tho
presence of smoke, and, on going into
the hotel Office, he became aware that a.
serious fire was working its way through
the ceilings, having originated, as he
thought, from the chimney in the vicini-
ty of the office. The smoke was fast
spreading throughout the building, and
Mr.. D. Immediately proceeded to alarm
the inmates, who, including the help,
numbered about forty. Before they could
all be made aware of their danger, the
fire had spread so rapidly that exit from
the house was almost impossible, and the
bewildered and half-awake guests rushed
for the nearest means of exit, many jump
ing from the windows, while others hur-
ried to the roof, hoping to find means of
reaching the ground. Five unfortunates,
however, who failed to reach the open
air persisted in the flames.
The following are the names of those
who thus lost their lives: Mrs. Hannah
P. Gibson of Chester, VT, aged 90.
mother of one of the proprietors; burned
to death in her room. Anna Johnson.
chambermaid. aged 80; overcome by the
heat and smoke, tainted in her room and
persisted in the flames. Mrs. S. A. Chase,
pastry cook, aged As; burned to death.
Lydia Merrill, waitress, aged IS; burn
ed to death. Charles Morgan, aged %,
boarder; burned to death.
The clerk, Fred Marvin, and his wife
occupied room on the third floor. As
soon as the alarm reached them they
rushed out, and finding the corridor
blocked by fame and smoke closed their
door and waited for assistance. None
came, and the terrible alternative pre-.
sented itself of perishing in the flames
or jumping to the ground. The latter
was decided on and Mr.. Marvin sprang
from the window, alIghting on his feet.
He escaped with some bruises. His wife
followed, and although the stunned hus-
band and others tried to break the fall,
she sustained severe internal injuries
which may prove fatal. Mr.. William
Butler of Troy, N. H., a salesman in the
employ of f. Crosby & Co. of Brattleboro
was the last arrival before the closing Of
the house for the night, and he had re-
tired only 80 minutes previous to hear.

of escape was from second story win.
dow, and in the jump he badly sprained
his ankle, but was able to 60 to his home
on Saturday. Four of the bodies of those
burned we're found on the following
morning.
The hotel was a wooden structure o.
four stories, and is a total wreck. Foul
other frame buildings were burned. ant
two or three other business blocks in tn,
vicinity were badly scorched and other
wise injured. The total loss from tn
fire will reach $4,000.

troops who have been employed to at
tend polling places, and that in almost
every instance the Supervisors have
acted honesty in their spheres.
But the democrats, now in majority
in congress, have not seen fit to come
out manfully with bill for the repeal
of the laws they dislike, but they have
struggled repeal clause into appropria-
ton bills, and say to the country, unless
we can have certain law repealed we
will withhold pay from the army, Chose
Southern fellows have had spite against
the army since 1869 We will not vote
money to pay the current expenses of
the government, and, in short, we will
starve you to it. A man does lot have
to be a republican to see the meanness
and injustice of this attempt at bull
DOING on the part of the Southern brig
adiers and their allies. Every honest
patriotic man, sees that this is a con-
temptible, revolutionary act.
The republicans are ready to vote for
the appropriation bills without the re-
peal clauses, but not with them. They
will meet the democrats on the repeal
measures by arguments and votes, and
if defeated, surrender. 1t is needless
to say that this matter is one of the
most exciting that has come before the
country for years. If the south is anx-
ious to introduce so revolutionary a
measure into congress on the very first
day, when she has gained ascendency
in Congress, what may we expect in the

Egypt is suffering under one Of those
terrible famines which are-but ought
not to be-characteristic of the richest
agricultural valley in the world. In
some of the villages the people are to be
seen sitting naked, like wild beasts,
eating roots, and suffering with the en-
durance of despair. In others, women
and children fighting over scraps of bread
like dogs. The immediate cause is the
failure Of the first wheat crop; the real
cause Is the wretched condition of the
fellah population, who are so mercilessly
taxed and SO outrageously over-wOrked,
that they are utterly unable to lay up
any store whatever for the time of ext
gency. The desperate condition of Egypt's
finances is thus reducing its laboring
population to starvation. Matters have
now reached such pass" says the Lon

1t is probably generally remembered
that some years ago-in l873-Congress
passed a law providing for the erection
of durable headstones over the graves of
soldiers of the regular and volunteer
forces of the United States whose remains
are inferred in the National Military
Cemeteries. This law has been carried
out, and the graves of the Nations dead
in these cemeteries are now permanently
marked. At the instance of the War
Department. Congress has recently au-
thorized the erection of similar headstones
over the graves of the Union soldiers
who are buried in private and village
cemeteries. This will be done as soon
as the necessary arrangements can be
made. In the meantime the Quarter
master General, at Washington. will at
once proceed to collect the necessary in
formation as to where these headstones
are required.
All persons having any knowledge Of
the burial places Of soldiers in private
cemeteries whose graves are not marked,
are requested to communicate the fact
to the Quartermaster General, and give
regiment, company, and date of death
of deceased, if known. Similar informa-
ton is desired from parties in charge Of
such cemeteries.
Of course it is not intended to furnish
headstones for graves over which monu-
ments have already been erected by
relatives or friends of the deceased.

The proposition to organize a recep-
tion of General Grant at San Francisco
by transporting thither an excursion
party of 10000 admirers from the States
east Of the Rocky Mountains, is not only
a practical absurdity, but if practicable
would be a most vulgar and offensive
mode of honoring so sensible, moderate,
and transformations an American as Grant
has always been in peace or war, in OBJ
security or elevation. at home or abroad,
and to quiet gentleman returning from
tour which has been a continual round
of complimentary receptions and civic
honors, such loud and boisterous "three
cheers and tiger from $4,000 toadies
would very naturally suggest some not
very flattering comparisons between our
crude civilization and some Of the ma
tions of Europe. In simple justice to
General Grant. no one would feel a
deeper disgust for such organized enthu-
siasm and commercial patriotism than
he himself. His honest hate for such

joined to his vast public services, have
given General Grant the deepest place
in the hearts of the plain people of
America they will be full of unaffected
joy to bid him welcome home again, but
they would despise him if they thought
that foreign travel had spoiled that stall

nearly all in one way and another de-
pendent upon the sea for support, large
number being seafaring men, has often
been sorely smitten by bereavement, but
never before to the same extent as dur

more than three months 10 vessels sail
ing from that harbor have been lost, and
1856 men belonging to them have BEEN
drowned, leaving 65 widows, and 1877

men are now in large measure depend

forth a generous response from many
sympathizlng hearts. At a recent meet

Society an appeal from the Mayor Of
Gloucester awakened the warmest ex-
