WASHINGTON LETTER.
WAsHmaroN, d. C.. luna 1G

WAsHHGToN, d. c., June 16, 1879.
The humorous point of the contest on the
Army bill is seen In the factthat the House
radicals were almost unanimously for it, the
Senate radicals almost unanimously against
1t. and Mr.. HaYes-well, no. man, not even
himself, knows how Mr.. Hayes stands. Some
of his associates say he will approve the bill
and Others that he will veto it. All agree
that no win veto the judicial expenses bill,
not, as Mr.. Wallace put il, because OF any
thing IN the bill, but because 1t does not
caution all the radical party wants. The
Legislative bill will be approved, unless Mr..
HAYES changes his mind.
There is no doubt that Mr.. HAYES has
hundred times expressed approval of all the
significant provisions OF all the bills so far
introduced and made party measures BY the
democracy at this session. There is no
DOUBT that the restrictions sought to be put
on the use OF troops and Federal civil officers
at the polls are in accordance with his own
ldeas' and the ideas Of at least four members
OF ms cabinet, The votes have been polit-
zeal measures, dictated outsida of the White
House aud Departments. Those to- Come
will be like them. But the politicians who
originated them arc short-sighted. Not one
voter in three believes that we need troops
at the polls. Hardly any believe IN the
PIlhClpla OF IhueFal lnLefHF6nce, In any
form, 10 the elections in Statas Congress
may, under the Constitution, prescribe GER
tain thingS As to elections, aud has done so,
and there ls no opposition, anywhere, TO any
law passed in conformity to the constitution.
II Is the active interference OF Government
officers at the polls, no where authorized in
the letter or spirit of the constitution, that Is
obiectional. Il is that to which Mr.. Hayes
and most of the leading men Of his party have
az times objected. II IL that 10 which the
people object, and It II is against that that
thOY will make their objection heard.
Representative Blackburn said on Saturday
that he did not believe Congress would ad ourn
before Saturday 2sth. But members OF both
houses are going away fast and few return.
The Senate will to-day fix upon Friday next.
the 10th. and In that action tho House will
probably concur, but this fixing OF dates is
not a certain indication OF the time adjourn
ment will take plsoa.
A well posted Maine politician writes that
there Is no doubt OF large deiections from
the Blaine and Hamliu party In that State 70
the Greenbach party and but few Gamer
slams are known the other wav. The truth
seems 20 be that the people OF that State,
outside OF the cities, and many In the cities,
are heartily tired Of the bondage under which
they have so long lived, and that they will
make themselves heard II September In q
way to astonish "the leaders.

Good Advice.

The advice which the master Of the Oregon
State grange recently gave to the members
OF that body is applicable TO the brotherhood
In all parts OF the Union. He says:
Put less toll and more thought In your CALI
ing, and make it attractive TO your children.
Unite with the grange and take your sons
aud daughters with you. II is the farmers
own and only orgauizatlon---a practical means
of combination, of united effort aud self help,
and affords the society and recreation You
and your families so much need. Learn and
practice the great principles OF truth, Justice,
charity and brotherly love upon which IL Is
founded. Cease TO be mere plodders, and
get out Of the narrow grooves OF isolation,
prejudice and mingled credulity and suspi-
eion IN which you have been running, BY
mutual aid educate yourselves and cultivate
your glfts, In the frank and free discussion
OF the grange OF those great questions in
which we are all alike interested. Learn to
be more liberal, and above all things, break
the bonds which make you the slaves OF par
ty and the dupes OF demagogues, Thus you
will be better qualified 70 act we'll your part
in life, and fulall the duties OF citizens nnd
law makers ofthe State and nation. Thus
will your vocation be elevated aud made
more respectable, aud yOnr sons will not be
so anxious TO exchange the free, puts air
OF the oountry for the poisoned Atmosphere
Of the city.

CROPS IN cENrnAL nISsOuRI.

We have received the following crop items
from Worth Master Esbaugb,
The severe drought In the different parts Of
the State has produced gloomy feeling
among farmers generally, especially 50 in a
portion of the northern, central and western
part OF the State, and whenever crop pros

That Reception.

For the Republican.
MEssRs. EDIroRs:-The structures OF
'Pro Bono Publico," in Thursday pa
per, in reviewing the conduct Of certain
citizens regarded as Republicans, ca
gag ing in the proposed reception Sen
ator Bayard, were just and applicable.
AT this particular juncture in political
affairs, when the Democratic party,
under the heavy blows of the northern
stalwarts are ready 10 catch az every
straw to sustain themselves,it 1T Is mat
ter OF regret that these gentlemen should
allew themselves to be made cats paws"
uuder the guise of false issue. The
Democrats themselves, well know that
the real intent is to give to Bayard
a "boom'' toward the Presidential
nomination, and knowing too that the
record of the Senator with his southern
sympathies and his inblushing c)nni-
vance with the rebel brigadiers in the
last Congress,i is too weighty for his par
ty friends to throw of successfully they
have with their usual willingness,
drawn into their scheme, the names OF
some Of our most honored and sterling
citizens. Thus We see they have placed
the names Of these Republicans at the
head of the sub committees, illustrating
so beautifully the old fable OF the
"monkey, the cat and chestnuts. -
Should the "boom" prove a success,
these easy going, so called he
publicans, need not look for any )t the
roasted fruit, or any preterment III the
way Of heading committees. No, no,
gentlemen 60 down to the tail ai wit.
ness our Legislature and City Council
in small way.
The mass OF the Republicans voters
have determined to let the democrats
paddls their own canoe. Many OF thelI
own crew have already abandoned theli
sinking craft, and when the final wreck
comes which is so surely indicated-~'
trust there will not be found 0n boarC
the doomed craft q single Repubilcai

ACrumh Of Comfort,

WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.-The Democrats
here find crumb Of comfort in ths cleo
tion of Waldo Hutchins TO fill the va
cancy which existed in the Westches.
ter Congressional District. This in
creases their majority TO three over the
combined Republicans, Greenbackers
and Independents in the present House.
They also anticipate that the recent
practical destruction of the Greenback
party will result in dissolution Of the
Greenback organization as such, in
which event the Democrats are conf
dent than their working majority will
be increased to about eleven, as by far
the greater proportion of the GreeL-

Remarkable Restoration UG the
Dement, Empress.

A despatch from Vienna says mos
startl. az and remarkable change has
taken place in the mental condition of
the unfortunat. ex-Empress Carlotta,
widow of Macmillan, and her speedy
and perfect restoration is now believed
to be not only probable, but almost GER
tain to take place. She now converses
lucidly and intellgently; her memory
has returned, and she discusses logical
ly and clearly her present surroun.
dings and future prospects. She is
now engaged in transcribing Ter diary
of the dsasterous series of events in
Mexico which eliminated in her royal
husbands death and the dethronement
Of her own reason. Her story is told
in the most graphic manner, and Will
be Il valuable contribution to the period.
Her condition now plainly indicates
that the long night Of oblivion and in
Sanity which has envelOped her is near
ly at al end, and that the unfortunate
lady whose sad story has enlisted ,h'
synpathies of the civilized world will
soon Ne restored to reason and to so
cis'y, Of which shs was so consplcuou

rhe n,e.il s,eeu.h,p Line.

Rumors have prevailed OF late that .
suspension Of the United States and
Brazil Steamship Line WAS possible, and
that the steamers were to bs sold, be-
cause the trade was light. BY the
owners Of the line II Is stated that these
rumors have not the least foundation,
but that on the contrary, there Is
fair and prosperous trade, with pros
poets Of an improvement. The Brazil.
ians have found that the line has de-
velopsd much Of their trade, and, II is
stated, that the 100000 annual sub.
sidy would be increased by the Imper-
ial Government II there we're any fears
of discontinuance Of the line. The
freight trade To Brazil is increasing
gradually, although the recent great
advance In prices has checked
1t to small extent. Iron exports are
increasing materially and there is said
to 10 demand for small machinery
stoves and hardware Of all kinds. Johr
Roach x Sons have laid the keel Of an
other iron steamship at their works II
