OUR WASHINGTON LETTER

WAsHIEoToS. d. e.. Jnly A, 1879.
The speech of Senator Zich ChaHdler
near the close of the late session, Is bother r
ing the Democratic press. That Senator
has developed lately capacity for saying
the right thing at the right time, and
stopping when he gets done. His ar
raignunent OF the Democratic party for it,
recent sins was more effective than any
thing that Blaine, Edmunds, Conkling or
Garfield has said. ! am glad to know
that il will be extensively circulated.
Nothing being left unprovided for by
Congress except certain expenses connected
with U. S. Marshals and their deputies
and it being thought they would serve
without pay, relying upon The common
sense and patriotism of Congress at the
70 ;ular session, the President did not i'm
mediately call second special session up
on the adjournment Of the frat, but there
is no doubt lie will call one il during the
next quarter there shonld any trouble
aTiss from lack Of funds in conducting the
business Of the Courts.
See'y Sherman goes 10 Maine shortly TO
deliver 2 or more speeches on the finances.
There is in that Stale a great deal Of mis-.
sionary work TO do, and in his peculiar
field tie Sec'y is an excellent man. lie
will go to Ohio after his labors are over in
The Pine Tree State.

vent tie Introduction of Yellow Fever on
ships arriving from infected porte will
hardly be available for use his season, the

iure not being salisiied with any plan yet

verified what the government had expected from

atey for jamaica, but the Comnandant said that he
might remain m Santiago de Cuba unit! he had All
