WASHINGTON LETTER.

Washington, D. G. Dec. 4th, 1880.
Both the principal parties are repre-
sented here at this timP-the Saturday
before tie assembling of COngress-by
men supposed to know the intentions OF
! their associates, as to the business CT
the coming session. All that is Sait
indicates session from which political
! discussions will be wholly excluded.
If any slippery tOnged Democrot or ir-
repreSSible Republican shall drop into
political debate he will be ignored by
the rest. Business, and not partisan
politics will rule.
| Mr.. Hayes has taken such eXtraOr-
dinary means to keep his message Sc
cret-bringing to this city from Chi
cago. the agent of the Western Press
Association for consultation that Gre
dit is given 10y some to a report lately
set afoat that. the message is so much
| as President elect Gartield'S. The re-
port mentioned was FIRST published in
of Garfield to this city was said to have
been in compliance with a request Of
Mr.. Hayes, who wished to consult him.
The message will be published on Mon
day, and think 1t not unlikely that
'teelers" from Garfield may be detect
ed in it by careful students.
An unnecessary amount of illfeeling
among officers exists just now. The
uncertain mind of Mr.. Hayes will not
permit him to settle thaquestion wheth-
er or not certain high military officers
shall be retained. lie raises the queS-
ton, gets the officers by the ears, and
exercises that policy of amiable inactiv-
ity, for which he has become noted. In
the same way he neglectS to appoint
Chief of the Signal Service Bureau in
place Of the late General Meyer, and
I the result is that half dozen officers
are quarreling over it. "
In,three of the states in which Sena-
tors are to be elected this winter, there
seems to have been decision made in
advance of the meetings of the Legis-
| latures, if reports brought to this city
( by Congressman can be relied upon.
These States are Tennessee, from
which State, am glad to be informed, g,
that Bailey the present Senator, will
be reelected. Maine, which will send
Hamlin again, and Michigan, where
Ex Governor Bagley's election is
thought to be reasonably certain. Prob
ably none of these States would do bet
ter, unless, in Maine and Michigan, If
the Democratic party had control of the
Legislature.
Commissioner Raum, estimates In
ternal Revenue receipts for the present
fiscal year-June, 1880, to June, 1851
at $35 100000, being twelve millions
more than was received last year, and
twenty millions more than the esti-
mates of last year. The Commissioner
recommends that the stamp tax
on matches, bank checks ard patent
medicines he abolished. Together they
brought in last year about eleven mil
lions.

BALANCE OF PARTIES.

The ofRcial result of the popular vote
for president is given as follows: Gar
feli, 4,439, AIS; Hancock, 4,436,0 OLA;
Weaver, 3o5, ,729; Dow, 9,644; scatter
ing, 1892. Total vote, 9,l92, ,594.
Garfield's plurality over Hancock g.
40i. A comparison of these figures
with the returns of 1876 shows that
both parties have increased their vote
but the republicans in greater degree.
In 1876 the democratic vote was T.
275, $40; and the republican vote, A.
O33.66 The democratic majority of
go, 900 IN 1876 has disappeared and
:the republicans have raised their mi
.E0rity to a plurality of 3,400.
While Garfield remains NJ minority
president by 1000 votes the scales
between the two parties are so evenly
balanced that on direct vote for pres
i&ent change Of less than two .thOus-
and in more than 100000 ballots
would haye turned the scale in favor of
the democrats. These figures show
that the republican party have little
cause to exult over their victory or to
indulge in any illusion over long con-
tinuunce of power, when handful of
. ballots will turn the scale. If this re-
suit shows how precarioas political
rover is In this country it affords a
warning of the danger that lies in a
close vote and of the greater necessity
TO protect the ballot from invasion and
fraud. In 1876 the republicans were
defeated but close vote gave the
temptation and the opportunity to
fraudulently and violently reverse the
decision Of the people, and thus pro-
drlce crisis that threatened the peace
Of the nation. Fortunately this dang
er has been averted III the present con-
test but it is impressive with warnings
10 statesmen and legislators to pro.
TidefGr the contingencies of the future.
The electoral system which was bad in
its origin has been perverted from it's
design and is rejected by the common
sense of the people. Hence it has be-
come the immediate and imperative
duty OF congress to inaugurate a
change that will be in harmony with
the public demands. There is time be-
tween this and the next presidential
election to remove the cunbrous and
absurd electoral machinery and SUBJ
stitute a simple and direct vote .of the
people for president. -~PutrtA.

Hon. ADRIAN :. HEWITT indignant
" denies that such a friendship existed
between General Garfield ald himself
as to warrant the charge Of personal
treachery towards Garfield in his con.
nection with the M0rey letter. In q
letter to the Nation Mr.. Hewitt says
that in speech in congress on the 23i
of February, 1879, he expressed such
an opinion Of Garfield as must have
served any ties of friendship that
might have existed between them, lard
in which he gave thu reasons why the
mere personal denial of any matter on
the part Of Garfield would not be con-
elusive to him. Mr.. Hewitt denies
