WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our regular correspondent,

WAsHNGToN, May 90, 1880,
Washington is now more fully peopled
than ever. except at presidential elections,
probably. The chief attraction is the boat
race between Hanan and Courtney, to see
which, people have come from all parts of
this country and Canada. In addition to
these are some very attractive horse races
at the National Fair grounds
After these sporting events are over, the
city will begin to depopulate for the sum
mer, since very little more is expected of
congress, and members even, are setting
their houses IN order for the summer vaca-
ton. Although the Democratic caucus
voted to reconsider the resolution to adj
iourn on the 31st, it is supposed that the
session will be practically over even before
that day, so anxious are a majority Of mem
bers to be off,
All the appropriation bills but two are
now in progress through the house or sem
ate. All will be pasaed before the last of
next week, SO good judges say. Of course
little else can be done, but If this can bc
done, the end is near, and the country will
excuse congress for doing very little if IT
will adjourn too earIy TO do any mischief.
Candid end impartial politicians say that
the election OF delegates in the various
states for the last few weeks have placed
Blaine far ahead in the race for the presi-
dental nomination. The bolt against
Cameron and Grant in Pennsylvania is
growing daily.

for Grant first, last and all the time. He is
careful to have il understood, however, that
if the nomination is offered to him by the
convention he will not refuse it, There is
very good reason for believing that if the
nomination is not offered to him he will be
greatly disappointed man. 1t is said
that his idea is that neither Grant, Blaine
nor Sherman will be able to get the requi'
site number OF votes, and that at the last
moment he will be nominated as compro-
mise candidate.

TIMELY CAUTIoN.-Genuine Hop Bitters
are put up in square paneled, ambercolor-
ed bottles, with white label on one side
printed in black letters, and green hop
cluster, and on the other side yellow
paper with red letters; revenue stamp over
the cork. This is the only torn in which
genuine Hop Bitters are put up, and the
sole right to make, sell and use them is
granted to the Hop Bitters Mfg Co., of
Rochester, n. Y, and Toronto, Ont, by
patents, copyright and trade mark. All
others put up in any other way or by any

they may be called, are bogus and unfit for
use, and only put up to sell and cheat the
people on the credit and popularity of Hop

STATE Register; TUESDAY last, body
of ex-rebel soldiers, when en- route to Nash
vile, Tenn, to attend the ceremonies incl
dental to the unwilling of the Jackson
statute, near the Hermitage yesterday, pass
ed the national cemetery there, in which
repose the bodies of a large number of I'm
ion soldiers. The train on which they
were being conveyed paused at the ceme-
terry, the band played a dirge, and the ex-
rebels, contemplating the scene, stood with
uncovered heads, out of respect for the
memory of the dead. Such incidents are
worth incomparably more to the country
than all the partisan speeches the politici'
ans can make.

A FREAK OF NATURE.
A MOUNTAIN IN MEXICO SINKS OUT OF SIGHT.

A MOUNTAIN IN MEXICO SINKS OUT OF SIGHT.
From the San Francisco Chronicle.
We translate the following from La
Union Democratic, San Louis Potosi: sad
iacent to the hacienda of San Catariv,
about twenty leagues to the east Of this
CITY, a very remarkable freak of nature has
occurred, the facts concerning which we
have received from gentleman who visited
the scene. On the It'll inst, the people of
the hacienda and vicinity were aroused by
a startling noise resembling thunder. Upon
assembling to see what was the matter, it
was soon discovered that a small mountain
In the immediate vicinity had sunk into the
earth, and it must have went out OF sight
like flash. Our informant, with others,
made observations and learned that the
aperture thus opened was 200 meters in
length, $50 in width, and its depth from
1870 to $50 meters. 1t was with much dill
fculty the rim of the cavern was approach
ed, as all about there were great yawnng
assures which threatened to open still wild
err. To miss step there was danger OF
finding grave in the depths beneath.
lSlIllC hlOUCS, weighing hOOut WV POuhN"
each, were thrown into the cavern, and it
took from nine to ten seconds before they
struck the bottom, the contact with the
surface beneath making q great report.
After these brief observations the explor-
ing parties retired hurriedly from the scene,
as the earth was trembling and shaking as
il upon a balance. The location of this
strange phenomenon is situated il the
terra calienta (warm region, and mesqul-
ties and palm trees flourish all about When
ever any portion of the earth along the rim
of the cavern fell into the depths, immense
clouds of white dust issued forth.
The dust was carried about by the
winds, and made all the trees in the vicin'
ity perfectly white. Speculation is rife as
to whether the mountain sank owing to
earthquake influences or was the result OF
gas explosions. 1t could not be attributed
to the former very well, as no shocks were
felt in the neighborhood.

FRIEND TRoUsDALE, of the Metropolis
Democrat, makes the following sensible re-
marks, concerning Hon. T. W. Halliday,
this week: "We hope that the Democrats
of this district will indulge in no foolish
ness regarding the nomination of con-
gresham, Success is within our grasp if
we only take up the material within our
reach; and, while the Democrat expects to
support the nominee let that be who it may,
we nevertheless desire to go into the fight
with reasonable assurance of success. To
do this we must have a candidate with
which the party will be generally sat
isfed, and we are frank to say that some OF
the names now spoken Of will not only
prove distateful to the party, but will in
sure our defeat in advance. 1t is not nee
essary, however, now to say who that is,
but we can say that there is one name that
will, we think, unite every discordant ele-
ment and under whose leadership we can
go to battle with an assured prospect OF
success. That man is Hon. Thomas W.
Halliday. We sincerely hope that our peo-
pie may not conclude because he is not max
ing struggle for the nomination that he
will not be our candidate, for We feel that
we understand ourselves when we say that
if the nomination is rendered him with
substantial unanlmity, that he will 90 be-
fore the people and carry the Democratic
flag to certain victory. We say again to
the newspapers of the district do not suffer
yourselves to be led astray by what this
or that or the other one may say, but place
Mr.. Halliday before your people and have
no fears as to his accepting the nomination.
