WASHINGTON LETTER.


ESPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE MoNIroR.1
WASHINGTON, Aug. II, 1879.
The democratic howl about political
assessments Is somewhat amusing to the
persons here supposed to be assessed.
Everybody who has mixed at all in pol
itics knows that the expenses of political
campaigns are paid by the contributions
of those interested, and everybody here
knows that republicans in the employ of
the government give for that purpose or
not at their own pleasure, and that no.
body is discharged for not giving. Of
course those now in Office have selfish
interest IN desiring the continuance of
republican administration. for they know
that if a democratic president should be
elected the departments would be swept
- L. e --r-L1Ios.us Uuo u1mUCraJIU
broom could sweep them. They know,
too, that the old democratic practice of
assessing all persons in government en-
ploy for party purposes, and discharging
them at once if they do not pay, would
be at once resumed under democratic
administration. It is creditable to re-
publican officials that they give cheer
fully for campaign expenses, and would
feel sighted if the persons making such
collections neglected them. There are,
however, few republicans who have
been in Office here for years without con-
tributing cent for campaign purposes,
who lose nothing by their seltishness
except-except something of the respect
and esteem of more liberal republicans.
And there are democrats here holding
fat places under republican administra-
ton who give literally for democratic
! party purposes, who are not disturbed in
their places. 1t is well that they should
not be turned out for not giving fol
republican campaign expenses. But they
should be discharged because they are
democrats and advocate political doc
trines inimical to the best interests O.
the country. . e. a.as5o
Gen. Fitz John Porter does not deem
it necessary to charge Senator Chandlel
and Representative Garfield, as some o
) his indiscreet friends do, with unfai
treatment of himself. He based his de
mand for the late inquiry into his cas-
on the fact that new evidence, not oh
tainable at the time of his trial, coult
be had after the war was over. If thi
new evidence is found to be such as t.
vindicate the General, we know tina
, Senator Chandler and Representativ
| Garfield will work as earnestly as an
men for favorable Congressional action
The democrats who are trying to max
San issue" out of General Porter's cas-
have not the sympathy of the Genera

dupes to emigrate to Salt Lake, and
inform the authorities at Washington.
If this friendly request to these govern
ments for attention to this subject should
not be regarded, then our government
can take the next step and prevent the
landing of the recruits or arrest them as
felons. Let us hope that the good be-
ginning of these efforts to put an end to
importations of females for satiating the
lust and beastliness of Mormonism will
be crowned with final success. Vermont

A despatch from Vienna states that a
fire broke out at Serajevo (Bosnia.Servia)
the capital of Bosnia, on Friday, and
was extinguished on Saturday morning,
after tremendous exertions by the men
of the garrison. The fire destroyed 2ss
houses. 358 shops and 48 warehouses.
On Saturday there were few isolated
outbreaks among the ruins, and some of
the warehouses were still burning. Some
of the large firms in the city estimate
that the damage will exceed $5O,0OO.-
900. but this is considered to be exag-
gerated. The homeless people, estimated
at 20. 600, were camped in the squares
and gardens. The Emperor of Austria
has forwarded $4,000 in aid of the suf.
ferers. 1t has been definitely ascertained
that the fire was caused by the explo-
sion of some spirits as was at first stated.
A large number persisted in the flames.

The ''latter-day saints of Utah are
in a terribly disturbed state of mind be-
cause of the fact that the United States
Government has succeeded in convicting
one of their number, Reynolds, of polyg-
amy. Their passion knows no bound
and they threaten the rest of the world
with dire calamity unless they are per-
mitted to govern themselves as best suits
their desire. The Imprisonment of Geo.
@. Cannon, delegate to Congress, other
executors of the Brigh am Young estate,
has also added bitter feelings, and the
Neaos, the leading church paper. has
lately contained threatening articles, and
infammatory speeches have been made.
The circular to foreign countries is treat
ed with contempt, and it is claimed that
it would be absurd to suppose that any
European government would undertake
to establish an inquisition to determine
the religious faith of emigrants, or all
who intend to enter into polygamy.
There is no evidence of any intention of
forclble resistance to the government,
but the Mormons have good military
organization and are mostly well armed.

atrical firm of Jarrett g. Palmer are al |
ways more or less before the world, par
ticular on our continent. The latter
has, unhappily for the million who en-
joyed the treats he provided for them,
made his last advertisement, and his |
obituaries, so lavishly furnished gratis,
are being forgotten. His surviving
partner, Mr.. H. G. Jarrett finds it nec-
essary to state that he has no connection
with another III. c. Jarrett who has con-
ceived the notion of importing that Gu
rious combination of talents and attrac-
tions, Sarah Bernhardt, for show pur-
poses here. 1t is surmised by the acut-
est people who have ever felt the pulse
of the people of this country that the
'other fellow will find his Investment
very uoprOftable. 1t will, for one thing
be next to impossible to secure fair
supporting company in French comedy
for the great tragedienae, especially as
the lions share of the profits will un-
doubleday go to her.. After paying the
| star and such salaries as the rest of the
company might be willing to accept. the
impressario would find very little left
for himself, and if the performances are
not good, and they cannot be good with
only one good actress, the whole thing
will fail. Our people will run after
novelty, and pay enormous prices too,
but thew wanfkheir nns.s-Bsr Of the hnst

tour will scarcely prove as triumphant as
that of the Swedish nightingale, Jenny

STATEMENT OF
Mr.. e. E. FOSTEF
OF BARTON, VT.


To THE PUBLIC:
During DR.. smyth's visit to Newport year age
called upon him at the Bellevue House with my Fl
lily physician to consult him about my deafness 4
noises in my head. The attack of deafness acco
panied by terrible noises in my head came upon (
suddenly and nothing that my family physician COZ,
do would give me any relief. Though DIR. smyth ed
me but little encouragement when I first consul!
him, employed him to treat my case, and from
first operation began to improve. The noises in
head gradually disappeared and my hearing is alm|
as good as ever it was. Hoping DR.. smyth may m|
with the same success In others, cheerfully reco
mend the afflicted to his professional care.

FIAT MONEY ILLUSTRATED.

Representative Burrows, of Michigan,
in his speech at the late Republican re-
union at Madison, Wis.,, said f s.
81 cannot understand this fat bust
ness. l can understand how piece of
paper is perfectly good if it is payable
at some time and to some one, but how
piece of paper stamped as money is
money | cannot understand. can un-
derstand perfectly we'll, when l buy
ticket from here to Chicago, that it is
good for something, because it is redeem
able in ride, and nobody but modern
Greenback fat money man would sit
down on that ticket and think he was
going to Chicago. Great laughter.l 1
can understand how ticket into circus
is good, if 1 can get into the show. but
I cannot understand that the ticket is a
show, and nobody but a modern fiat
money man would take the ticket and
think he saw the horses going around
and the whole performance. I can un-
derstand how an order on a farmer here
in Wisconsin for COW is good, if 1 can
get the cow, and nobody but modern
Greenback fat money man would sit
down on stool and attempt to milk the
order. [Great laaghter.l | will tell
you, my fellow citizens, there is no use
in talking about getting out of the ma.
tional debt in any way except to pay it
that is the only straightforward way to
do. To-day the best thing that could
happen to the financial and business
interests would be for Congress to
pass law at its next session to punish
with death any member of Congress tina,
would make speech of finance for the
next twenty years. What We want is
to let it alone, and we are on the high
road to prosperity"

me the money which l wanted to make

of the audience, he added al tdnt

for the state pretended to see in the

preston that this wicked young man
used is that which is dear to the Bona
partist heart-taken from the monu-
ment on Napoleon's tomb in the Inva-
lides." This was saluted with shouts of
laughter, the epitaph alluded to being
the famous lines of Napoleon's will in
scribed on his imposing tomb in the In
valides, the shrine of Bonapartist devo-
ton: 'Je vent que mes cendres tent au
word de la Seine, parmi lie peuple Fran
Gals que j al tant aime'-''I wish that
my ashes may rest ON the bank of the
Seine, among the French people, whom

secutor, however, did not succeed in
making the trial serious one. The
candid, innocent face of the youth, and
his pitiful appearance, his fearful pro-
testations of his love for mademoiselle,
and the evident sincerity of his belief in
the simple process of terrifying Gambet-
ia, were too much judicial gravity, and
with shouts of hilarious good humor his
counsel carried him off subject to a
trlf1ing fine and trifling detention. 1t
is very characteristic outbreak of the
French youth of from 10 to 25, and the
extraordinary things they do under the
impulse of what they call love, which is
to real love what the thirst for brandy is
to hunger.
