LETTER FROM WASHINGTON.
WASHINGTON, y. c., May, IL, 1Ss

WASHINGTON, y. c., May, II, 1850
There are now but three appropriation
bills awaiting report to the House. The
| Legislative, Executive and judicial OIL
! reported on Monday, and on which de
bate commenced on yesterday, Is one
that causes usually considerable discus
sion. This year, however, extraordsna'
ry efforts have been made by the commit
tee to produce the bill in such form as to
prevent any but mere factious opposition.
MIR. Garfield called attention to some mi
nor provisions of the bill, to which he
objected. do not think there will be
much delay in passing the bill.
The Representative who has charge OF
the River and Harbor bill, eight III 'lI'ons
and over, either through a spasm OF VIZ
the or b, cause of a wish to make the Dill
larger, decided TO vary the usual course
of proceedings this year and not demand
on the bill under q suspension OF the
rules. But other members persuaded
him, and tho rules will be suspended,
a d the great iniqnity, increased prob"-
bly, to ten or eleven millions, will be put
cd for Professor Baird to spend money in
propagating fish, while the trout streams
of the country are being ruined by this
annual "River and Harbor' appropira
ton.
The General Deficiency bill will pr"ba-
bl- he reported this week OF on Monday
of next week. There will he TO "riders'
- C
amendments of the Senate, no delay is
anticipated in putting it through.
Quarrc!ling has already commenced
over the little reductions of duties on
printing material and steel and iron, pro-
posed by the Ways and Means com t.
tee. 1t is not thought now the bill can
pass, and. farther, it is believed that Sem
ator Eaton's bill, providing for the oP-
pointment of nine persons, not Congress
men, to examine the subject of tariff Ie-
visions, and report to Congress, will pass
In three weeks the radical convention
meets at Chicago. l may be mistaken
bnt there seems already plentiful 1ndl-
cations of row in that convention.
There have never hefore been so many
at tempts. made by the several candidates
to undermine each other, and never so
mnch bitterness between the leadirS
partisans of the candidates. The aPpar-
ent treachery of Washburn to Grant, the
underlan,led ca mpaiSn methods OF eher
man, tn. closeness Of the coming contest
between Blaine and Grant. al. these give
extraordinary interest to the struggle
A bolt at Chicago is not unlikely 18th

But if through all the livelong day
You'ye chcered. no heart by yea or nay

GRANT A CANDIDATE.

The New York Times of yesterday,
the 10th, contained the following edi-
torial:
"a near personal and political
friend of ex-President Grant, who
doubtless knows whereof he speaks,
authorizes the following as a correct
statement Of the generals position
with reference to.the presidency. He
says: General Grant is not now, nor
has he ever been, candidate for the
presidential nomination, but should
the Republican national convention
nominate him in the same manner as
any other candidate would be nomina-
ted, he would deem it his duty to the
country and party to accept. Travel
ing abroad he was stranger to the
contest now going on for the presiden-
tial nomination, and has written no
letters ON the subject to any person,
and all assertions to the contrary are
without foundation in fact.
This means as plainly as words can
express it, that Gen. Grant solicits the
nomination, is anxious for it and ex-
poets it. He will, almost without
doubt, be the choice Of the Chicago
convention.

all. The Republican State conyen-
ton has been called to meet in the
capitol, at Nashville, on the 9th OF
May. The convention will nominate
a candidate for governor, and also
appoint delegates to the National
convention at Chicago. A press dis
patch says:
This will open the contest in Ten
nessee, and with the platform they
will there adopt and the man whom
they will nominate for governor. with
all the campaign material that they
need, ready to be taken up. and the
disorganized condition of their oppo-
nents, it will be hot, and for the first
time in ten years they have a proba-
billty of carrying the State.
Now all you candidates for big
offices and little Offices, for local places
and foreign appointments, for crumbs
of the slush and fat contracts, for
mileage per diem, etcetera, glory at
home, honor abroad, and patriotism
IN general, not forgetting the old flag
and an appropriation, get your liner in

selves delegates and go to that con
yention.

yellow Fever Money-spcnders.

Washington Special to Chicago Tribune.
The yellow fever commission are
learning to eat up money in the most
skillful manner. They made away
with S200,0 of the money appropri-
ated last year with great ease and sat
is!action. They spent S47, ,742 in Ten
nessee, $l3,628 in Louisiana, Sl3,1SO
in Mississippi. and $12,3l4 in the
Havana commission. The president
and secretary of the board make the
following estimate of the expense for
the coming year, and up to June 30,
1881. They say;
1T will be perceived that to meet
these estimates, the sum Of
S90,392 should be appropriated
for the use of the board in addition to
the 100000 balance of funds which
it has on hand.
In addition to this estimate, it
is advised that an appropriation of
about 100000 be made, to be held in
reserve for the emergency of the oc
currence of such an epidemic as that
of 1879, and to be used solely for the
purpose Of inland quarantine in case
of an outbreak.
FROM JAN. TO JUNE 30, 1880.
For establishment of quarantine
stations at mouths Of Chesapeake Bay,
at Ship Island, aud near Brunswick
Ga, or Fernandina, Florida, 100000.
FROM JANUARY TO JUNE 30, 1880.
For Improvement of quarantine sta
ton at Charleston, $4,000; for aid to
other quarantine stations, $4,000 (;
for establishing inspecting stations on
the Mississippi and for police boat,
$35, 600; for special investigations and
surveys, $2l 800; for printing report
on yellow fever, $4,000; for printing
report Of board, with appendices,
8,0O0; for special investigations and
sanitary surveys, $4,000 for salaries
and travelling expenses Of inspectors,
$40, 900; for salaries and travelling ex
penses Of members Of the board,
$4,000 for rent, gas and fuel. 81, 200;
for clerks and messengers, $2l ,06O;
FOR stationery, postage aud telegrams,
$500; for printing of bulletin, $1,000:
for printing of annual report, $4,000;
for other printing, $1,000; for contin-
gent and miscellaneous, $4,000; total,

Thus they are after nearly S3OO,OOO
for the ensuing year, as shown above.

THE LEDGERs account yesterday Of
an attempted outrage ATHEIST Peters
church sent thrill of horror aud
indignation through the entire com
munity. Had the 6end been caught
and identified we do not believe he
would have lived to get within the
walls Of the county jail. That such a
revolving crime should have been at
tempted at the very altar in the Ten
pie of God seems TO throw into
the shade the ordinary calendar
Sf crime. Such an evidence Of daring,
brutality aud depravity is indeed ap'
palling. Parents who have to trust
their dear oues out of sight will shud
der at the thought Of the possibilities
that exist, as long as such monster
is alive and at large. Those on the
outside who saw him escape from the
church, should be compelled to join
in the search. There cannot be many
of his kind in eur midst, and he GER
Minly can be found. The chief Of
polico offers a reward Of $3.50 for his
capture
