a precarious condition, and but little hopes
are entertained of his recovery. Last night,

soon conquered, and several residences that
were endangered were saved.

WASHINGTON, April 2l.-The case of w. h.
Platt VS.. the Union Pacific Railroad company,

lands granted by Congress to the railroad
company, under section of an act of July /,

yided that all lands granted to the company
should be liable to preemption, If not sold or
otherwise disposed OF within three years after
the completion of the entire road. On the Sd

decided the mortgage executed by the COM

Visitors to the Paris cemeteries
must often have been struck by the
care with which the tombs and even
humber graves are tended. Many
pretty tokens of affection are laid by
pious hands upon them and often re.
newed. But on this day, the ''Jour
de Morts," the cemeteries are sys.
tematically visited, and thousands
of families may be seen each wend.
ing its way to the resting place of
some departed member whose mem.
DRY is still fondly cherished. The
Fete des Morris, as it is called, began
practically yesterday. on All Saints
Day; but to-day Paris may be said to
have been given up to the saddest of
duties. Crowds filed the tasteful
avenues shaded by tall trees, while
in the narrower lanes which separ-
ate the lines of graves might be seen
among the expresses mourners ten.
derby trimming some plant or hang.
ing a wreath of immortelles inscrib.
ed with the names OF parent, wife,
or child upon the cross which heads
the spot.
1t has just been decided to admit
a certain number of student astrono-
mers to the Paris Observatory, can
didates to be chosen from the Nor.
NAL School, from the Polytechnic,
and from the licencies in mathemat-
ical science. The pupils will receive
1900 f. a year, and be lodged at the
Observatory. The course of train
ing is to last two years, and the stu.
dents will afterwards devote SINH.
lar period to the public service. On
leaving the Observatory each pupil
will receive certificate setting forth
what he has done there, and the
amount of in intelligence displayed.
A fete is being organized which
bids fair to throw that which was
given at the Opera some months ago
completely into the shades. Just as
the fete referred to was for the ben.
eft of the sufferers by the indunda.
tions of Szegedin, the projected func.
ton is to be for those who have been
deprived of house and home at Muir
cha; and whereas Figaro organized
the former, the latter is being got
up by the representatives Of the
principal Partisan journals. It was
at first intended to have bull-fght
by way of special compliment to the
Spaniards who are to benefit by the
show, but the Minister of the Inter-
Tor has put his veto on that feature
of the scheme. It is now PRACTICAL
ly settled that the Hippodrome is to
be the arena of the festival, that
there shall be sort of carnival, and
when this part OF the show is over
there is to be what is called repro
duction of the village of Murcia in
the midst a gigantic fancy fair,
wherein the principal actors and &C.
tresses Of Paris shall appear. 1t is
proposed that the fete take place on
Nov. 18th, when the Archduchess
Christine will be in Paris.

Washington Letter.

Washington, D. G. Nov. %, 1879.
1t was announced by Democrats
in W ashington soon after the Maine
election that there would be rever.
sal of the result when the facts were
known and the explanation of their
meaning, they finally concocted the
inflated stories about bribery and
corruption. The accidental Con.
gresham from the 4th Maine dis.
trict, Ladd, sent word to his adher-
ants here to work up the thing and
make it appear as badly as possible
in order to Justify stealing the legis-
lature to use a plain term, and
Ladd's friends here have been indus
triously at work for weeks trying to
create false impression relative to
the morals of the Maine Republi-
cans. We will see the result. The
charges of corruption could not be
proved, and so the Maine Democrats
have changed their ground without
giving their Washington scriblers a
chance to crawl away from their
falsehoods. The Maine chaps now
propose to- steal the legislature
through mere clerical informalities
and errors, and not through bribery
which they dared not attempt to
prove. There is some tall swearing
among the aforesaid scriblers to
think they were put upon the wrong
scent, and the more honest of them
are Disguised with the whole Job.
The interest which many have taken
in it have, however, shows that it
has an inspiration from beyond the
State, but it is one of those big
blunders which will prove to be a
boomerang in the hands of it's inven.
tors.
All the Departments have now
made up their estimates for appro.
priations for the coming fiscal year.
Except the Department of Justice,
they all call for an increase over the
amount allowed for the present year.
This was expected and unavoidable,
and nobody knew this better than
the Democrats themselves, who
purposely appropriated insufficient
means to carry on the Government
tor two reasons, namely, to get ere.
dit tor economy on their part, and
to establish pretence of extrava-
gance on the part of the Govern.
ment officers. The fact is the most
wasteful branch of the Government
at this time is the Confederate Con.
gress which is wastening more mon.
ey, than ever Congress did before
in iunketing fruitless Investigations.
The House Committee on Rules
will find it difficult to adopt their
changes of laws governing that BODY
so as to give the majority as arbi.
trary a way as they desire. The
Democrat majority is very small,
and any very radical changes it is
believed can be defeated. The Con.
federates are displaying too much
zeal in their grasp for despotic pow
er.
There IS a growing disposition
