The Third House in Washington.

Under the new rules of the Houses of
Representatives of Washington, which
went into operation yesterday the MEM
bers of the lobby are, it seems, afforded
every facility they could possibly desire
for the successful prosecution of their
business. There is not q word to be
sure, about the lobby itself on the
rules. but the provision which meets
their case is found in the clause THAT ex-
members of Congress shall be admitted
TO all the privileges of the floor and of
the cloak rooms, and that all other per-
sons shall be vigorously excluded there
from. 1t is q notorious fact large per-
centage of the ex-members who go to
Washington every winter do SO solely for
the purpose of advancing private or other
interests. Twenty years have elapsed
since some of them, who turn up even
more punctullay than regular members
held a seat in the body, They have only
one object in coming, and what that OBJ.
ject is, is well known to every one who has
any knowledge at all of what is going on
at the capital. The presence of the able
honest and intelligent representati. es
of many of the leading journals of the
country on the floor, where they could
watch the course of legislation, was in
the past most effective check upon the
operations of this class of people, but
the new rules remove that restraint, SO
that they can now conduct their opera
tions with degree of freedom and COM
fort never before enjoyed by them. 1t is
queer victory for the economy and re-
from policy.--N Y. Herald.

The Boston correspondent of the Sa-
lem, Mass, Gazette writes: "An original
authenticated anecdotc OF General Wash
ington is rare thing, but here is one on
the authority of Maj. John Saunders, who
commanded the Salem Cadets in 1889,
when Washington visited Salem, In his
compliment to the cadets, you have the
honor to command the best disciplined
corps | have seen, pronounced the word
corps according to the English spelling,
articulating the p and s, and accentlng
the short; not core or kOre, but CORP
y. This can be no imputation OH the
scholarship Of Washington, for his in
tercourse with Lafayette, Court O'Esta-
ing and other French officers must have
iamiliarized him with the French pro-
nounciation. 1t rather iutimates his in
tense Americanism and contempt OF
French afcctation."

At 1T AGAIN.

The first interview OF the Tilden campaign
of l 1874 has appeared. 1t is the usual western
polit clan who opens the ball. General James
B. Steedman saw him on horseback the other
day. and was struck with his robust appear
ancen How natural that sounds. In few
DAYS some other Western politician will see HIM
and be struck with his increasing feebeDess,
and then we shall have the VIII lie thing over
again: a repetition OF the campaign when
began in 1877 and ended last July; the old
gentleman reported one day 20 be getting up MS
muscle in a gymnasium and the next too weak
to sit np. General Steedman is reported 10
have said to him, IN the contding way Oh the
Western politician, that there were indications
that he would be called upon fOuI years from
now TO lead the Democratic party once more W
which he brIskly replied Too late, too late
" ! have retired from business and politics Tor
sever. | shall devote the rest of my days to
"tryIng to live as long as | can, an 10 my per-
" sOnal comfort" Then, seizlDg the Opportu-
nifty TO get in a stinger on rival from whose
conspicuous lukewarmness he had suffered he
added Nor do say this as Horatlo seymour
" did in 1865, but this is my full decision"
Pursuing the subject with the proverbia'
delicacy of the Western Democratic atesman
his interlocuiOr inquired: Would you have
"carricd New York If you had been nominated
"at Cincinnati, with Kelly opposing you Y
The answer came promptly: "UndOubtedly,
undoubtedly. | might not have had so lPrge
"a majority rs in 1876, but New York would
shave been entirely SAFE" From which IT APP
pears that the old gentleman III his retirement
is revealing IN two perfectly harmless delu-
sions: first, chat lie WAS elected in 1876, and
second, that ne would have been elected If
nominated IN 1880. This being the case, we
submit that the Western statesman should not
be permitted TO rake over the ashes Of salts
fed ambition or disturb with uneasy dreams
frame Of mind so full of peace and self-content-
ment. Still we have no idea that anything We
can say will hinder the wild Yves efntr from,
swO0png down on the old gentleman at inter-
walls, and "gving him away" to his constltu
ents. I his report of his ROBUSTNESS will send a
tamil of alarm through the anti-Tiden forces.
We snail presently nave a fat contradiction OF
IT. The ball Is upene l.. Cali the next.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1880-12-23

In that direction great deal has been done
by Republicans, and more by the present Adj
ministration than by all the Democratic ad-
ministratiOns put together, from the earliest
to the latest.
This being the real situation, what do the
Democrats have to say' They propose, since
they are not going TO have the disposal and
the filing of the offices themselves, to make
great changes by law. What changes, what
one change that is not mere obstruction OF
the party in power, it is difficult to say.
Their motives, we are told, must not he ques-
toned. If they are going to move in the
reform which, when in power, they never
practised, and which, when they expected to
get into power, they treated with contempt,
we must thank Heaven for their change OF
heart, and let them do as they will.
That is not the honest or manly view to
take of the matter. The motives will neces-
sarily shape the measures. The Democratic
party has had power, and could have framed
and passed any good Civil Service bill in
week, if ii had seen fit. There never has
been any doubt that the President would have
approved any good measure of that sort. But
during all these years the Democratic party
has refused to do anything of she sort. IL
has been tried, and its right to make
changes has departed. 1t appealed to
the people. Among other things, it al
legged as reason for trusting it that
the public service was corrupt, and that II
trusted it would reform that service. The
people deliberately refused to intrust power to
it for that or any other purpose. 1t Is the
cdict of the American people that such re-
ferns as are desirable shall be shaped and ex-
ecuted by the Republican party. TO that
e6ict the Democrats may rs well make up
their minds to submit, and they will not find
it easy to use the few remaining weeks OF
Legislative power to hamper or handcu6 the
incoming President. or to give partisan form
to any changes that the good of the public
service may require.
