WASHINGTON. d. c.. Oct. %, 1880.
If the contest has not been practically
abandoned by the democratic party then
there is no significance in signs. Wash
ington contains 5000 persons who hoped
TO obtain office under Hancock, and thrice
that number who hoped to profit indirect
" through democratic success. 1t is
needless to say that this selishly patriotic
little army is in despair. They had or
ganized themselves into various clubs,
with presidents, vice presidents. secre-
taries and treasurers. and were energeti q.
cally working themselves into the notice
of the padded shops at Governors
Island, with an eye single to the glory of
office and The gratuities thereof. There
was method in their zeal, and not one of
them but has had his eyes, his heart. and
his remnant of soul fixed upon a federal or
district office. a clerkship, a oonsulship, a
post-oflice, in fact upon every Office from
the cabinet place aspired to by Dick
Merrick to the lucrative position of de
partment-sweep hoped for by a hundred
INDECENT loafers. Take them all in all
they are a scurvy lot, and. while nine
tenths of them would be disappointed in
their hopes, even If their candidate could
be elected, there is not the least security
that their places would be filled by better
men. With all the grave faults of ouI
civil service, systematic and individual,
candid democrats must admit that the
republican Office holder, rs a rule, il
cleaner and more competent than those
who are clamoring for his place. No
well wisher of his country. who saw dem
ocratic invasion Of office seekers five
years ago, when the the democrats gainet
a majority in the House, can think with
out shudder Of the cession of high ant
responsible trusts to such men. The,
talked loudly of their honesty, and theil
zeal for the service of their country, bu
their outward signs were dirt, diseas
and ntemperance. There were onl
about one hundred and fifty offices to b.
disposed of by the House, but | do no
think it an exaggeration to say that Their
were 1900 applicants for them. I'm
agine this number of beats and hummer
multiplied by 1000 and you will realiz
what the good citizens of Washington
had to fear until Indiana relieved them c
all apprehension.

Paris Letter.
PARIS. France, Oct. 10, 80.

So many attempts have been made on
the life of the car that it would require
an unusually retentive memory to keep|
track of the names of the various would
be regicides who have emerged into a
short.lived celebrity and disappeared to.
rue their crimes in prison or exile. The
name of Berezewski. therefore. requires
10 be supplemented with the mention that
he is the Pole who in 1867 cast passing
gloom over the festivities OF the French
capital by attempting to assassinate the
emperor of Russia in Bots de Boulogne.
This man, sentenced at the time TO penal
servitude for life, is still convict in New
Caledonia, and the ultra radicals, not
content with wringing from the govern
ment all but plenary amnesty for their
own compatriots, are now clamoring for
the release of the hero of '67." Some
short time ago the case was taken up by
one of the red journals, but nothing came
to the project, and now NJ. Felix Pyat, in
his newly established paper, La Commune,
demands the liberation of Beerzewski, who,
he says, in real republic, would be hon
ored with two statues, but is at present
&" languishiug in prison" Yesterday M.
Pyat comparing the case of Trinquet with
that of Berezewski, gave the government
twenty-fo hours in which to amnesty
the latter, and AS the time allowed has
now expired, he, or rather his paper, calls
upon the men who, by electing Trinquet
are credited with the honor OF having
brought about the amnesty, to render 4
similar service to the would-be murderer
of the czar of all the Russias. Honor WA
rendered Trinquet by his election to the
municipal council; Berezewski is to b,
honored by the presentation of revolver
of honor. This remarkable weapon is t.
be inscribed with the date, " 1867" ant
the words, Paris. Moscow, Warsaw.
The subscriptions are to be limited to on
half penny for each person, and AS tn
arm is to cost two hundred francs, fou
thousand contributors will be required t.
make up the necessary sum of money
The Commune thus advocates the move
ment: "On the anniversary of the 9th ant
9Th of October, the ever glorious days
Even the women of Paris were regicdes

As regards the ultimate success OF to-

CATARRII.

An item is going the rounds of the press
to the effect that the old surveys of the
Rutland and Woodstock railroad are be-
ing looked up for IL purpose which will
soon be made public.
The registry in New York city 216,974,
points to a vote of 205, 900 or Whereabouts,
which in any ordinary year would mean a
democratic majority Of 10000. Changes
of political sentiment have been so numer-
Gus this year, and so extensive among the
working classes that the republicans an
ticipate q vote of at least 10000, conced-
ing majority of only 50 900 to the dem
ocrats. The democratic maj ority was II
little less than this, $1,000, in 1876, and
last year, on lieutenant governor, an Office
on which the Tilden and Kelly men united,
was 1926. The state outside of New
York city is unquestionably republican by
form $4,000 to 70,000.-SprHg.feld Re-

the electoral votes, when, if there is any
possible pretext, the votes of republican
states are to be thrown out. To pave the
way for this, affidavts are being collected
with reference to Indiana, also Maine !;
and like efforts will be made in other
states if Garfield shall carry them. The
sensational kilograms sent out by the dem
ocratic national committee pretending to
report discoveries of republican frauds are
part of the programme to prepare public
sentiment for carrying out the scheme.
A dispatch to the New York Times shows
that the democrats are at work in Indiana
