Letter from Washington.


wAsBmoroS, D. c.. Oct q. 1850.
Chairman Barnum Of the National
Democratic Committee has discovered
two kilograms, now acknowledged 10
be genuine, which seem to prove
beyond doubt that the Republicans
are oolonixing Florida from New
York. The kilograms are signed by
Marshall Jewell. One Of them speaks
of men sent by different steamers to
Key West. It is addressed to Fed
eral official in Florida. The Repub-
lican explanation Of the telegram is
that it referred to men 30 shipped by
the Democrats. This is, Of course,
false, for If Mr.. Jewell had knowl-
edge of such colonization by any
party but his own he would of conrse
make the TACT public. No better
campaign ammunition than that
could be imagined. There seems to
be no doubt that Mr.. Jewell and his
Committee are fairly caught this
time. and public sentiment. AZ well it
should, condemn them.
Sending voters away from New
York with ita thirty-6ve electoral
votes is, too, full admission that
Mr.. Jewell has no hopes OF carrying
that State. There have been Demo-
Gratis who. since the Indiana election,
were douhtfal of the Empire State.
They have Mr.. JEWELS opinion now
that Their fears were groundless.
Another discovery Of the week is
. letter written by General Garfield,
| in January last. in which he intimates
| that the Chimes treaty under which
Chimes migration to the country
takes place should not be meddled
with until the employers or buyers
of labor in this country had supplied
themselves on satisfactory terms.
General Garfield denies the letter.
Some men say, after examination o.
the original, that the General wrote
it, and some that he did not In the

HANCOCK AND ENGLISH.

Gen. Hancock was born in Penn.
sylvapia, but really is of the United
States, as his life has been passed
in the service of the United States.
His record as a soldier and as man
is unblemished and unassailable,
and under his leadership this cam
paign, so far as the Democracy is
concerned, will not be defensive, but
aggressive. What is more important
to the country This nomination is tho
harbinger of a restored Union, and
his election will restore the Union
not in name but in deed. No other
living person will SO thoroughly
unite the "boys in blue" with "tbe
boys in grey" Under his leadership,
excepting step to the music Of the
Union" will be easy, because the
music will he cbimed by hearts that
beat in unison. He shed his blood
for the Union during the war, and
he recognized its existence and the
rights of Southrons in it, after the
conflict was ended. When the war
was over, be sheathed his sword,
and did notseek to plunge it into the
bodies of PROSTATE men, whom he
had fought to make his fellow-citi-
zens. Brave, magnanimous and
true, he commands the love and es-
TEEN of all, North and South, East
and West.
By his election we will have an
administration Democratic and pa
triotic-an era of good feeling
throughout the entire land, and hate
will be consigned to the hell from
which it sprung and the Union be
cemeted with love and no longer
pinned together with bayonets. His
nomination is one eminentIy fit to
be made, and will no where be more
heartily endorsed than in Louisiana.

Mr.. Tilden was never a favorite
with the politicians. In the contest
of 1876, he won simply on account
of the strong hold which he exercis-
ed on the masses in every part of
the country. Then as now a great
many politicians, and among them a
large number of Democratic Con.
gressmen, were bitterly opposed to
his nomination and used every effort
to prevent it. In his own State Mr..
Tilden has always had the same
class to contend with. In every
campaign he has met the combined
assaults Of the enemy from without
and the insidiOus attacks of those of
his own household. When he un-
dertook to revolutionize the politics
of the Empire State no man ever
encountered more stubborn opposi-
ton and no man ever triumphed
moro glorionsly. When as Cover.
nor he essayed to clense the Augean
stables Of Republican pollution he
was met on every side by the tlefilers
and corruptiOnists of high and low
degree, whom he throttled and slew
and the work of publication was
completed.
When the tax-ridden people of
the Empire State grooming beneath
the burdens imposed upon them by
remorseless Republican taskmasters
and Democratic coromants, appeal
ed to Tilden for relief, their prayers
were answered, and redress and de-
liverance came. The rale of the ring
was destroyed, and the reign of the
people began. The people of the
United States, afflicted with all the
ills that had cursed New York, call
cd upon the man who had rescued
New York to lead them in battle
against the hordcs that fattened
upon the substance of the people
during the Grant regime. Tilden
came, and again led to victory. The
rest of the story, the infamy of re-
turning boards, the "bread and but.
ter" Electoral Commission farce, the
questionable transactions of princi-
pleless politicians, and the rape of
the Presidency-that which will re-
main for a thousand years to blight
the fair name of American history
it is needless to recount.
Mr.. Tilden retires to private life
full of honors and greatly esteemed
by all good Democrats. Let cor
ruptionists say what they will, the |
record of the great 1ring smashern is
pure and unsullied, and hewed act
" to the line of Democratic princi. /
pies and precedents. His private /
life, like his public career, is without
stain or blemish. As a ruler, he
would have administered the gov
in the interest Of the whole /
people, instead of converting it's
oower and patronage into an instru-
nent OF punishment of enemies and
,he reward Of servhors. A con-
'eicntious and faithful public SER

CHILDREN's TBMPRRs - Children should be
loved through their little tempers, through their
occasional naughtiness, and through the days
when they are not sweet, but trying and captous.
The dearest children have such days One is
puzzled to know why Lulu, who went to bed a
cherub, could be little fury in the morning;
why Harry usually candid and open as the day,
should be at times sullen and disagreeable,
There are often physical reasons for these trans
formations. You have had sour bread You
have been letting pastry and cake enter too
largely into your bill Of fare. You have suff red
the delicate child and the strong one to sleep to
gether, or the fresh air has not yitalized the
apartment sufficiently. Perhaps you are not
confidential enough with your children, and do
not make yourself acquainted as you ought with
their companions. But whatever mistake you
make, be sure you love them.

nounce James A. Garfield for his corrupt
connection with the Credit Mobilier, for
his false denials thereof before his con-
stituents in circulating among them a
pamphlet purporting to set forth the
finding of said committee and the eviN
dence against him, when in fact material
portions thereof were omitted and gar
bled.
Resolved, That we further arraign
and charge him with corrupt bribery in
selling his official influence as chairman
of the Committee on Appropriations for
S. 900 to the De Goyler Pavement ring
to aid them in securing a contract from
the Board of Public Works of the Dis
trict of Columbia, selling his influence
T. the said ring in imposing upon the
people of said District pavement

times its cost, as sworn to by one of the
contractors; selling his influence to aid
said ring in securing contract, to pro-
cure which it corruptly spent $o7, 900
"for influence" selling his influence in a
matter that involved no question of law,
upon the shallow pretext that he was ac
ting as lawyer; selling his influence in
a manner so palpable and clear as to be
so found and declared by an impartial
and competent court upon an issue sol
emnly tried. tt

CsTERNs.-we fear many Of our readers who
have cisterns and depend upon them for their
supply OF water for family use, hardly realize
the importance OF keeping them clean and
sweet. Rain water as 1t comes down from the
clouds is probably as pure as any water can be-
but after 1t has washed over a roof and down the
conductors into the cisterD, carrying with 1t dust
leaves and other rubbish that may have gathered
on the roof or in the cutters, 1t Is not strange thai
the cistern should need TO be cleaned out every
year or two. If the cistern is not much used, the
water is quite likely to become bad. II may look
all right, and not taste very bad either, and ye
not be healthful. OF course all cistern water
haps the best; but even then 1t will become neces
sary to clean the cistern as often as every two
years, and better every year,
