LETTER FROM WASHINGTON.
WASHINGTON, ID. c., May 4th

WAsHISdToN, d. c., May 4th 1880.
! An other veto is to be added to NJ.
i.aves already long list. The Imme'ii-
ut" Deficiency bill was operated OH by
him yesterday. his objection arc dotted a.
follows: II am firmly convinced tha:
appropriation bills ought not to contai:.
any legsatl, II not relevant to the apoli.
cation or expe' Il tnro of the money there.
by app, opriated, and that by strict ad.
hcrence to this principle an important
and much needed reform will be accom-.
plished.' ...
That lie is utterly insincere in this I,
establish by the fact that ON the sam.
day ..e opposed the Army Appropriation
bill, which also had liier; ard by til.
further fact that every appropriation
bill for which be voted while in congress
had riders Hpon it. The bett..r opinion
among Democrats is that the money GOV.
cred by the hill. except that for the pay
| of special deputy marshals shall be voted
promptly and these ma ~haIs he provid
el for on a seperate bill to which the
rider shall be attached.
But four appropriation bills have a.
yet hecome law, viz: the Pension Furti-
ticati"n, Army an. Navy bills. Three
bills, the Indian, Consular and Diplomat
ic and Military Academy, are in confer.
ence. The District of Columbia appro-
priation bill has passed the House, anil
is now before the Senate. The consider
afion Of the Post Office appropriation
bill was commen, ed in the House ycster-
doy. The River AMI Harbnr bill was
reported to the House yesterday. Tho
Legislative, Executive and Judicial, the
sunlry Civil aad the General Deticienc,
ills are not yet reported. There viii
probably Ie at least one million NOR.
added to the River and Harbor bill
which, as reported covers over eight
millions. 1t is always necessary to pass
this enormity under suspension ofthe
rules requiring two thirds vote and any
melH':er who thinks his District has not
been 'let in for enough can always hav"
matters made right. the larger tho bill
the more easily it can be passed. THIS
resolution introduced sometime since in
the House, fixing'a dav for adjournment
will be called up this week.
The an,i-third term movement is ev-
cry here more potent on paper than in
tho hearts Of the pc op!e. It's conven-
tions are fizzles, and it's discussions
more vapor. One breath of common
st.nsce will blow the whole thing away
as so much chaff.

The dust lies deep on the chamber floors,
Blown through tho shuttcIltss open

With sorruwtil! sohs of conmiscration,

A SELECT SNAKE STORY,

On Tuesday last a German butcher by
the name of Hans Wiger passed through
or town, en- route tor Little Rock, where
he st ted. he had many friends. After
travelling as far as th- first crossing of
Davis creek became iatisued and, as thera
was no house in sight, con cluded to rest
himself upon some fiat rocks, which form.
ed quite an invitin resting place hy the
roadside. Exhausted in mini as Will ne
in body he s"ol fell asleep and all was n
blank 70 him uutil he aroused with q
start ard the realization that he was in
the clutches Of some one or something
Looking down, such q sight met his
eyes as would have made the stOntest
heart bound with agitation. ClaspinG
both right and left legs were two rattle
snakes of the Iii ,mond species, coiled
from the feet up ard looking him greedi-
| ly in the face from both sides. It was n
moment to try the nerve of the bravest
hero known t" history and We neel hard
| lv say Mr. Wi ,er tra:nhl-.l from head to
| foot, but, knowing tn It his salvation was
| innctou rather than acti n, he dropped
back as if shot and lay rs one dead.
| How ION :. he eremane,l in This predicanent
| is harI! t. tell, 81 S under such c,rcumstan-
ces mi lutrs lenGthen int" hours and
hours into days, hat some time after Il rk
both snakes, bec"ming wearied, no doubt,
slowly unco.lei themselves and after
crawling un Ter his neck and round his
head several times moved quietly away.
II is needless to sly that our Teutonic
, friend made tracks for til near est house
and fell faintins while trying to eli nh
f tbs fence to enter. After sonlo little
trouble no was revived bUt it was found
that during his lying TIL blood had ooze6
! from his eyes and mouth. His hair,
which. he said, before was raven BLACK.
