WASHINGTON, MARCH IL, 1879.
THE cry of fraud has not been heard from |
Democratic lips since Congress adjourned.
TIE city is comparatively dull in all the |
legitimate lines of trade; but the boys"
are kept busy smiling with candidate"
The New York Herald says il requires |
more that $50 men to set the type, make the |
plates, and print ench issue of that journal |
daily.
TIE New York World seems to think that
the Tammany politician is more dangerous
to the welfare Of the common schools OF
that city than the scarlet fever.
ONE week from to-day the business of
despoiling the country will be resumed by
the Democratic party, with majority in
both Houses of Congress for the first time
in eighteen years
CLERK ADAMS, who served in the Union
army, is sometimes known as Democratic
Bluebacker. 1t is therefore very easy
thing for the Bourbon Graybackers to trade
him of for Democratic Greenbacker.

that he has found discrepancy of $780,
100000 in the books of the Treasury De-
partment Set him again, aud he may
make haul that will amount to something.
This is a mere bagatelle.
ALEX STEPHENS is admonished that his
prophesies regarding the coming extra ses-
sion of Congress are Eccentric utteranccs."
He may console himself however, with the
knowledge that two-thirds of the American
people are guilty Of similar eccentricities.
The metropolitan Journals are occupying
from a third TO half column of space to
announce the elopement of girl of eighteen
from Vassar College with her lover, followed
by wedding, the forgiveness of their iiate
parents, and their settlement in New York
Mr.. RANDALL. begins to rehearse, How
sharper than thanlSless tooth it is to have
" a serpent South" In the last Congress of
the forty-two chairmanslips of committees
twenty-five were bestowed upon the South
ern members. How is it now? 1t doesn't
talk turkey much to him.
IL the opinion Of Mr.. MORRISON, of Illi-
nois, the country may as well decide by
actual experience whether Southern men
can be put into prominent places with
safety to the interests of the nation" Mr.
MORRISON assumes that the country has
forgotten the fact that Southern men held
prominent places in the Government for
several decades and until their presence
there eventuated in treason and rebellion.
WHEN RANDALL has defeated BLACK
BURN, as he probably will, because the
Bourbons will vote for Northern Dough-
face for policy sake" the Solid South will
be as powerful in the House as it would be
with the achievement of BLACKBURN's am
bition. RANDALL will be, as he always has
been, simple tool in the hands of King
Caucus, and King Caucus is but the vicari-
Gus embodiment of the Confederate Briga-
diers.
THE lines are being strictly drawn for
the grand national contest next year; and
they are being drawn between the Demo-
cratic and Republican parties upon aues-
tions affecting the stability of the Govern
ment. The Greenbackers, Nationals Pro-
hibitionists, and What-Nots will do well to
pay heed to these facts. If that contest is
decided adversely to the Republicans there
will be no Government left for them to ex.
pertinent upon with their peculiar theories
TIE Rev. DEWITT TALMAGE is proving
himself to be religious cosmopolite, OF
something else less distinct He says:
Here is man born an Episcopaian, and can
not be anything else but an Episcopalan
There is a Methodist who cannot be anything
else but Methodist Hero is a Presbyterian
who cannot be anything olse But as for my
self, was born so near tho line that feel al
home in anything.

WILLARD's Hotel, whereat the BLACK
BURN and RANDALL headquarters are 10,
Gated, presented the appearance of de-
serted polling-booth yesterday. The lobbie,
OF that great caraYansary were comparativel,
empty; but the probabilities pointed to the
storm which must come after the present
lull. There are very few members of eithe,
House in town, and those who are here arc
nearly all under the care of DIR. GARNET
the so-called family physician of the Demo
cratic party.
SAM RANDALL was among the missing a
