WASHINGTON LETTER

WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. Q, 1880.
Some congressman think 1t will
take oae week, and somo two, to
dispose OF the great obstruction to
public busincss-the new set of
House rules.
In any other country, after peace
had Lecn thoroughly established, in
one year OF more, the legislation
against individuals which grew out
of war would have been swept from
the statute books. II, under law,
persons were believed to be pun
isbable for offences they would be
tried and acquitted or punished.
Oacnses would not be assumed, or
penalties enforced, or disabilities
allowed to continue, tor half a gen.
Grafton. ltis shame to the North,
and discrcdit to tho representa-
two men of the South, that any
Legislation exists to-day which puts
any one citizen of the United
States, on account of anything
which occurred during the war of
ls6l-5, on footing different from
that OF another citizen. ! think,
too, that a vast majority OF the peo-
pie, recognize the fact, and that
there is n sufficient number of mem.
bers of Congress who favor the re.
moval by general law Of all disa-
bilitles, to secure the passage OF an
act for the purpose. Tho question
need not be-could not be-a party
question. It is one on which en-
lightencd men In all parties must
agree. Action should be prompt,

ken there would be little if any op-
position in House or Senate.
SO far as Democrats are concern
cd there seems TO be- no reason to
find fault with radical affairs in
Pennsylvania. All the radical can
didatcs are satisfied. Grant has the
instructions. Blaine's friends claim
a controlling minority in the State
convention, and Sherman's friends
say he had a hundred supporters
out of two hundred and forty del

State Of Pennsylvania will be Dem

hopes that II will, but it would be
easier to argue Democratic success

The big little fight In North
Carolina between the Sherman and
Grant Republicans OF that State
over the selection of delegates to
the Chicago convention. is creating
considerable interest here. 1t is
claimed by Mr.. Keogh and other
Grant leaders that the fight is

Why Not Edmunds ?
From the Hartford Courant.l

Innumerable times the question has
been asked, "Why not nominate Sen
ator Edmunds ?" And nobody has Civ
en- reasons in the negative. We appeal
to the experience of every republican
voter. The common reply is, "That
would suit me-" ''Edmunds would be
the man if we could nominate him.
We have yet to hear an objection to
the man. Everybody says he would
make an admirable president. Take
notice that the name always elicits cor
dial Endorsement, and not seldom per-
sonal enthusiasm. 81 should like to
work for Edmunds;" 81 should like to
take the stump for Edmunds:" "tbere
would be no defence to make for Ed
munds;" ''there is nothing about Ed
munds that needs explanation This
private conviction is exactly the thing
that makes great public enthusiasm.
Edmunus is one of the ablest men of
this generation in the Senate, he is thor
oughly trained in politics and states
manshlp. He has mastery eompre-
hensIon OF all the great subjects that
have been before us. In debate he is a
great power, not by the use of rhetoric
or what is termed elOquence, for he
detests all display and pretense, but bv
sheer force of brains. Like Webster.
he has the clearness of statement thai
amounts to demonstration. He is a
great lawyer. He unites the rare great
ness of keenness in details with the
most comprehensive mastery of princi-
pies. His mind is lucid and unconfused
through and through His moral sound,
ness is equal to his mental. No man
ever had so much as thought of cues
tioning his integrity.
In politics his 'stalwartismn is accep-
table to the most stalwart. Nor is there
a disciple of the generous discomfort,
III criticism who does not respect him.
1t is rarely or never given to a man
to unite the respect of all shades and
classes. Every democrat in Congress
will speak well of him. Yet he is tbe
sharpest critic in the Senate, and com.
pels himself to perform a great deal nj
vastly important service in obiectino to
party or unwise legislation.
He is able in every field-law, leeis-

lation, craftsmanship, practical politics.
He is careful in making up his judg-
ments, and Grm in maintaining them.
He is utterly without fear or embar-
rassment in expressing and maintaining
opinions. He has the great qualities of
equity and courage.
He is permeated in every drop and fl
bre with the spirit of American ideas of
liberty and political progress.
He is available. Every republican
newspaper would speak well of him-
every one, stalwart or liberal-every
neutral paper, every religious paper
with republican leanings; indeed every
democratic paper would acknowledge
his ability, his learning, his experience,
his honesty, his fearless adherence TO
principle. In two weeks after his nom
inatiOn every journal and every orator
would be enthusiastic. The republi-
cans would only have to say, "There he
stands u An insinuatiOn against his rep
utatiOn would cause only a laugh every
where. That is unassailable.
He would unite every faction of the
party, and sweep in every honest inde-
pendent voter.

A healthy child may, perhaps, safely

or be restless in sleep, better wait an

higher seminaries, nineteen or twenty
years is young enough to enter them. as

shade and the open southern houses

last twelve years. Most of the inhabi-

VINO live here permanently, summer
and winter; seven or eight coming from
Nashua, n. H., us many from Syracuse.

gan. They are our average northern
people, well informed, neighborlv and
industrious. Many Of. them have left
their northern homes on account OF
lung diseases, some to seek their for
tune after financial reverses. Those
who have been lazy and shiftless are
poor here, as they would have been
anywhere. Those who have made
their homes here and worked intelli-
gently and industriOusly, have made
for themselves Il good property, fal
more than they could possibly have

suits that have been obtained by these
northern men within few years past.
