WOSkei1lgtO2I Letter.

Washington, D. G. Feb. 9th. 1880.
Take it all in all this has been a
rather dull winter in Washington.
The number of strangers in the CITY
is smaller than usual. 1t may be that
the smallpox scare has kept them
away, but both in the Capitol, and in
the saloon ,on the Avenue, at recep.
tions, and at hops. there appears to be
smaller number Of strangers, and less
political and social excitement than
there has been during any previous
winter since the War. There has
been the usual number of Presiden.
tlal and cabinet receptions; the hotels
have given weekly hops; the theatres
have blazed with the usual comple.
ment of blase stars; there has been no
lack of s'brilliant weddings and no
scarcity of ''reigning belles"; but still
it seems to me that neither Vanity
Fair nor the political cockpit have
been as interesting as heretofore. 1t
is common remark that Priest Hayes
receptions do not draw as well as
those of his predecessor, and there has
not been an occasion during this ses-
sion sufficiently big to overcrowd the
galleries of the House or Senate. Bit
the remaining weeks Of the Congress.
ional Session will be more exciting.
There are several subjects almost rea.
dy to be submitted or reported back
which will enliven debate and relieve
the routine. In the Senate, contrary
to general expectation, a decided Oh.

Washington Letter.
Washington, D. c., Feb. 7th, 1880.

Washington, D. c., Feb. 9TH, 1880.
The report of the Committee who
investigated the charges against dis.
missed Commissioner Hayt, has been
laid before the Secretary of the In.
terror. While it adjudges him gull.
ty, it approves the action of the
Secretary in promptly discharging
him. In this connection it may be
asked why was he appointed. Since
he was engaged in the manufacture
of oleomargarine and has continued
ever since. That circumstance alone
should have decided his case at once
showing to the public as it did what
his ideas of official integrity would
probably be.
The indications now are that Mr..
Blaine will have the support of the
two delegates to Chicago from this
District. 49,. =
The big little fight in North Caro-
lima between the Sherman and Grant
Republicans of that State, over the
selection of delegates to the Chicago
Convention is creating considera bic
interest here. 1t is claimed by Mr..
Keogh and other Grant leaders that
the fight is Sherman and his appoin.
tees under the government against
the wishes of the Republicans of the
entire State. There can be no doubt
that Secretary Sherman has made use
of his official patronage to influence
the selection of delegates, contrary to
civil service rules laid down by and
at first vigorously enforced by the
President. It will be remembered
too, that Mr.. Cornell was removed
for a much less offence against the
civil service rules. 49,,
The time has come when the Gov.
eminent of the United States must
take some decided steps to control
the construction of the canal across
the Isthmus of Panama. The neces-
sites Of Commerce and trade demand
that the barrier between the oceans
be removed, and De Lesseps is only
expressing the advanced sentiments
of all Commercial nations. The
passage of the canal through semi.
civilized country requires the guar.
antee of some powerful government.
Unless this government can and will
extend the needed protection, it can
not afford to insist upon the enforce.
ment of the Monroe doctrine against
France or England whose interests
as we'll as ours demand an early com.
pletion Of that highway. The PEG.
pie Of this country are ready to stand
by the Monroe doctrine, and insist
that foreign governments shall not,
upon any pretext, obtain foothold
upon this continent. This doctrine
should be asserted most elnphatically
and the great work should be done
under the control of our own gov.
eminent. Once let French colony
be established upon the Isthmus and
how long before the French govern
ment will be called upon to protect
it, and thereby extend it's influence
and power against the nited States.
The matter deserves the serious and
immediate attention of Congress.

to the premises found the floor Of the

them. The fire in all proba bility was
caused by cinder that had fallen onto
the floor and smouldered till that hour.
A few moments later and the shop
would have undoubtedly been destroy
ed.-Mr C. H. Weeks was not so fortu-
nate, for on the following day, Satur-
day, his dry house and starch mill were
totally destroyed by fire, which origi-

repairs upon his hotel. Mr.. Calvin
Stoddard had considerable pine and
hard wood luln Der stored in the starch
mill and also some of the machinery
connected with his machine shop and

of Mr.. Stoddard s machinery was saved,

being consumed The loss falls quite
heavily upon Mr.. Stoddard and also
upon Mr.. Weeks as we learn there was
no insurance on the buildings. There
will be for few days, considerable
talk of a fire engine, BUTT will be only
for a few days, and then it will be for
