WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON, March 10, 1875.
There is one cause for rejoicing already
developed in the gnerally dreaded extra
session, and that is the conservative spirit d,
displayed in the organization and outcrop.
pings of Sentiment in both houses. For.
example the Democrats of the Senate in
making up the committees have indicated
that no revolutionary measures will be at.
tempted in the way of financial and COM
ccrcial Legislation So far as business rela.
tons are concerned believe the indications
point all in one way, toward a session of ex.
ccptional innocence.
In the house this sentiment is plainly en-
phaslzed in the election of Mr.. Randall for
speaker, 1t is known that he is opposed to
any financial or other general Legislation
now and will use his influence against it.
The squeezing out Of the Green5ack party,
after a season of boasting about the balance
of power in their hands, adds weight to
this view. In fact, some of the Green
hackers themselves weakened under the an
/ parently wavering fortunes of that organi-
zation. The news of the municipal cleo
tons in Maine, showing great losses in their
hitherto stronghold, has convinced shrewd
men in that organization that it is useless
q stick TO that iororn hope in congress.
Even the 10 they / ustered in the vote for
speaker will divide between the two great
parties, and finally be lost to view Their
threats of important legislation to suit their
views will go for naught.
Speaker Randall was serenaded last night
10y large number of his partizan friends,
and he made speech in which he
claimed that the repeal of the Federal
election laws was in the interest of national
peace. He was greeted with great enthu.
siasm.
The case of breach of promise of mar
riagc, the Widow Oliver" against Simon
Cameron, has been on trial here for several
days, and ia the sensation. General Butler
represents Mr.. Cameron and he cross-cX-
amined the plaintiff yesterday in way
which would have made modest woman
wish to withdraw from the suit. The case
is developing some filth, and probably
good deal Of untruth. Mr.. Oliver, the late"
husband OF the widow appeared IN court
to astonish his wife yesterday, and she was
made to identify him. This was rather
damper, and it is said the widow would
be willing to settle the case now for small
consideration.
1t is worthy Of note that the ommigra.
ton to this country is on the increase very
largely. The figures at the bureau of sta
tishcs show 4 large increase over those of
last year, so far Those who are posted
say that the figures for the spring months
will show u still greater increase. The
hard times in England and the social dis.
content in Germany are having their effect
upon the volume OF inflow to this country
\ DISEASE THAT WRECKS THE SYSTEM.
Every function is deranged, every nerve
unstrung, every muscle and fiber weakened
by fever and ague. II is, in fact, disease
which if unchecked, eventually wrecks the
system. In all its type, in every phase, it
is dangerous, destructive. Stupor, delirum.
COMMISSIONS often attend it, and cause dis.
olution, But when combatted with Hos.
letters Stomach Bitters its toothold IN the
system is dislodged, and every vestigc Of
ii eradicated. That benign anti.febnle
specific and preventive of the dreaded
scourge is recognized not only within our
own boundaries, but in tropics lands far
beyond them, where intermittcnts and re-
mittents are fearfully prevalent, to be sure
antidote to the malarial poison and rclia.
BILE means overcoming disorders of the
stomach, liver and bowels, Of which with.
ted torrid atmosphere and backsh miasma.
tainted water are extremely provocative.
