LETTER FROM WASHINGTON.
FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT. ]

lFROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT ]
WASHINGTON, ID. c., June %, 1873.
To THE EDITOR OF THE NEW NORTHWEST;
a little more fOOlishness and grabbing
and hair-splitting among Congress men
has disappointed these who hoped for
an adjournment Of Congress this week.
1t would be wrong to charge the respon-
sibility Of all the foolishness Of this ses-
sion upon either party, for both are GER
tainly more or less to blame; but it is
certain that so much petty squabbling
was never crammed into one short ses-
sion before. The time was, suppose,
when Congress came together to con-
slider the best interests and greatest
wants of the country, and to devise
means of meeting them; but in these
latter days the interests OF political par
ties are the ends aimed at. IL is one
constant struggle for Que party to get an
advantage over the other, no matter
how it is gained, whether by falsehoOd
or gross Misrepresentation, or by down.
right fraud. One half the speeches
made in the houses of COngress-and
there is an endless flow Of gab-are in
sincere harangues, whose authors know
their own statements to be unfair and
untrue. The people at large really care
very little for parties. 1t is the men
that live by politics who make all the
fuss. and for selfish ends strive to keep
alive sectional hatreds and all sorts Of
animosities and prejudlces. The coun-
try is in a reasonably sound condition,
notwithstanding the loud warnings Of
revolution and new rebelliOns and
smashing Of constitutions. There would
be a much firmer feeling in business
circles if Congress would go away and
stay away for nine months or year.
Perhaps not one in ten of those who
read this has ever stopped to think what
the result Of all this will be-where this
Indifference Of the people and activity
aud scheming of the politicians will
eventually lead US. Doubtless greater
proportion than nine out of every ten
expect that this great republic will cell
ebrate its second Centennial.
Speaking Of the National Centennial
reminds me that the regents of the
Mount Vernon Ladies' Association,
comprised Of regents from the various
States, have just held their annual ses-
sion and made a report Of what has been
done about the old homestead Of Gen.
eraI Washington. During the year end
ing June 1st there has been ll,OOO Wis
itors, 2,lO7 of which were there during
the month of May-the largest number
ever received in that month. There are
under cultivation eighteen acres Of corn,
eight Of rye. seven Of oats, and ten of

LETTER FROM NEW YORK.
LFRoM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT

49, - AtA~N' q 80 ~
NEW YORK, June 21, 1879.
To THE EDITOR OF THE NEW NORTHWEST;
One of the members of our world
renowned police force has been arrested
for completely in the Manhattan Bank
burglary. He was brought in by the
confession Of the watchman, who stated
that the policeman was the burglars
gO-between, and that he had conveyed
the interesting intelligence impaired by
the watchman, that everything was all
right and "the crib was ready to crack. /"
As matter of course, having so much
able help, the burglars had no hesita-
ton and little difficulty in cracking the
crib. The arrested officer, John Nugent,
II seems, had some reputation as an as
sociate Of burglars. He has been sus-
pected two or three times Of having
something to do with robberies in his
precinct, and has once been under arrest
on a direct charge to this effect. Not
withstanding this, the police authorities
appeared to think he had better be re-
tanned on the force, although they were
kept pretty busy changing him from
one precinct to another to prevent his
becoming so much complicated with
any particular gang Of thieves as to at
tract public attention.
The last return Of Mr.. William II.
Vanderbilt from Europe, q few days
ago, had been preluded by a we'll
authenticated announcement of his
final perfection of the Canadian and
Northwestern connections of the New
York Central road, and the obvious de-
termination Of the English trustees of

be done with Miss Elinor's trunks that
were standing locked in her room. He
at once gave the necessary directions
for Them TO be sent to her, and then
wrote a brief note, telling her Of his
mothers Illness, and asking her II he
might write to her.
She replied, expressing her sorrow to
learn Of Mrs. Stoddard's sickness, and
Offering TO come and nurse her if it
would be permitted. She said, as gently
as possible, that she did not thiuk it
would be best for either Of them TO write
often TO each other. Frank had accepted
this as probably the best that he could
expect for the present, but his idea of
infrequent writing was rather different
from Ellnor's. She felt that she must
engross herself as much as possible with
her duties, and dwell as little as she
could upon her trials, in order to live in
any peace Of mind. She felt that she
could only expect happiness by think
ing Of and iabOring for others, and she
knew that frequent communication
with her lover would tend to neutralize
her efforts to forget self, and would
weaken her resolution to live for duty
and not for pleasure.
Frank looked at things from a differ
eut standpoint. He thought only Of how
soon difficulties might be overcome and
the desire of his heart fulfilled. He
looked forward to life with the woman
he loved, and regarded all intervening
time as a dreary waste, to be gotten over
as rapidly as possible. He was not what
would be called a selfish man, and yet
he had no conception Of the seli-abnega-
tion that inspired Elinor's conduct. He
thought he loved her far better than she
did him, and yet, in his most exalted
moments, he could never understand
nor appreciate fully the absolute purity
and unselfishness Of her constant affec-
tion.
But to return to Franks contemplated
letter. II read as follows:
NEW YORK, March %, IS.
My DEAREST ELINOR;-After most painful
illness, my mother is at length cOnvalescent,
though she is still far from having recovered
even her usual health. Since IL has been pos

in doing so. I cannot fix my mind upon these

you think as you used 10 do, years ago, when
we were so happy together. Tic memory OF
those days haunts me, Elinor, and your face Is

The compiler of mining information foc
the New York Mining Record displays in a
prominent degree either a lamentable ignor-
ance as to the mineral resources of Montana
or an unreasonable prejudice against giving
them publicity. The editor of that great
and reliable dissemination of news fills up his
pages and wears out his scissors in collating
information from the most worthless and un-
productive mining districts and seems totally
oblivious of The existence of Montana Terri
tory. He gives extended space to the de-
scription of a few lead seams in Kansas.
He devotes another portion of his valuable
journal to god mining in Virginia, in which
State he chronicles the incredible and amaz-
ing fact that the hosting capacity of one of
the leading companies is $500 pounds
each twenty four hours. In order
to do justice to such mammoth
mining enterprises it may not be after all so
wonderful that he can give no space to Mon
tana. He seems totally unaware that any
a~ble-bodied man can discount the Virginia
hosting works with a square-pointed shovel.
III "eli-InloTHieu cOiHpller appears likewise
forcibly impressed with the magnitude of the
mines in Maine, to which he devotes a great
deal of printers ink. A little inquiry would
satisfy the gentleman that there are twenty
five partly developed mines in this Territory
each of which can produce daily more pre-
cous metal than all the Pine Tree State
bonanzas combined.
In every Sunday edition of the MINER
there is a summary of the mining develop
ments of the week, and other Montana papers
likewise give full and reliable accounts of
mining operations. Therefore no intelligent
observer can doubt that the mining bust
ness is profitable in this section of the
country and offers unparalleled inducements
for the investment of capital. Neverthe-
less the Mining Record studiously avoids
giving publicity to these resources, for what
reasons We are unable to conjecture, for the
avowed object of publishing the Record is to
circulate reliable intelligence. in regard to the
greatest and most promising mining districts
of the country, where capital can be safely
anG profitably invested.

One of our exchanges gives place to the
following statement, which, to say the least,
is a bit startling: .'
e. NJ. Tessie du Motay, the noted Partisan
chemist, who has paid considerable attention
to m~etallurgicai processes, and E. Stern, of
New York, have devised a somewhat curious
process and apparatus for melting ores in
their natural situation. Their proposition is
a startling one, which practical miners will
hardly believe practicable. 1t consists in
directing against ores in their natural situa-
ton in the mine, an intensely hot flame,
preferably that produced by what is known as
the compound blow-pipe. The apparatus
consists in the arrangement of blow-pipes
for carrying out the process, namely, a series
or crown of blew pipes surrounding a central
pipe, all of said pipes being arranged upon a
carriage so as to be readily brought into con-
tact with the ores in their natural situation.
This process is supposed to be particularly
useful in the rendering of those masses Of

A few days ago a citizen of Butte in a
facetious mood took advantage of the creduli-
ty of the Herald editor and wrote him that his
debilitated sheet was the best paper in Mon
tana, driving him fairly wild with delight by
enclosing SO in cash. The Herald proudly
publishes the letter Of its Butte benefactor,
who says The MINER does not contain one
tenth part of the interesting general news the
Herald does.' The Herald man gloats over
this information and with native modesty
and phenomenal intelligence prints it as a
fact We have no desire to discourage the
Herald publishers, but as far as we have been
able to ascertain it is subscribed for, read and
appreciated principally by its editors. It very
seldom publishes any original matter and its
most inspired editorials are stereotyped under
the head of ''Historical Directory of Montana
price reduced TO So or " Of General Interest
to the ~People-The Herald Book Bindery."
We understand that the same gentleman who
charitably donated them ten dollars and then
gave them taffy about publishing the best pa
per on the Pacific coast, after ascertaining
that they regarded his joke seriously wrote
them another letter in which he offered to
make an even bet with them of a postage
stamp against q years subscription that the
g Historical Directory " is nothing more than
the autobiography of the Herald proprietors
and that they can't bind a ten cent novel.
