respect this city would stand pre-em-
inent. The convention would be more
fully and fairly reported to the conn-
try Every newspaper in the Union,
nearly, great or small, has rcpresen-
tative here, and there would not be
such garbled and outrageous reports
as might be expected from the parti-
zan press Of Chicago, and other points
talked of.
Some Of the Republican ex-office
holders, haunters of capitol committee
rooms and old political hack, like cx-
government printer Clapp, ct al, are
pushing an organized movement for
suffrage in the District of Columbia.
The principal object sought by the
leaders is greater influence in nation
al affairs, while the smaller fry hum
ger for the crumbs Of local Offices.
Citizens of this District are not citi-
zens Of the United States in one sense,
as they have no vote or voice in con-
trolling the affairs of government.
And considering the condition of soci-
ETY. existing here, the better class do
not want the ballot. The experiences
Of few years ago, when the worst
class of ignorant, shiftless negroes
and buniners controlled the local gov
eminent, led to the establishment of
our present system, and all tax-paying,
order-loving citizens have no wish to
go back. We have in this city the
largest element of degraded colored
population to be found in any city Of
its size. The most revolving and bru-
tai grades Of crimes are more preva-
lent here than in any other city. Cold
blooded murder, rape, and all sorts of
assault, are OF daily occurrence, yet
for some reason justice is very slow
and punishment very rare, so that the
people have come to feel very much
like those of a border settlement,
where Judge Lynch presidcs Be-
cause of this, four negro brutcs who
murdered all inofensive young man
in cold blood one night recently came
very near being hanged without trial
or jury. No less than fifteen murders
have been committed during my resi-
dence in Washington, and not one of
the murderers has yet been hung.
One trouble is the negroes on our ju-
ries. This class Of population is bad
enough now. 1t is infinitely worse
with the ballot in its hands. for the
ballot gives them greater influence
with the INSCRIPTIONS politicians, who
use them for their own ends.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
IRON our regular Correspondents


administration. Between the expos
ures in the Indian bureau, and the un-
yelling Of John Sherman's disgrace
full use Of the Treasury for his own
ends, there is not much left of the
heightened pretensions we have heard
SO much about. The Indian bureau
turns out to be as rotten as ever it
was under Grant and DeIano. Under
the latter sharp practices were car
ricd on by those who did not profess
to be better than other men. Under
Hayes and Schurz, the robberies have
been just the same, but done under
the guise Of religion and reform. They
have been done by the goody-goody
sort OF men, who canted about the i'm.
mortal souls Of the Indians while 9th
ers were looking after the immortal
contracts. One set were looking af.
ter the food for the poor Indians mind,
while their wicked business partners
looked after provisions for the body
the beef contracts, blankets and SIGH.
1t would seem that we had seen quite
enough Of the Christian statesman"
in politics and political station in this
country.
Long months ago Hoyt was known
to be compromised in exceedingly ug-
ly-looking business transactions out
side Of his position here, while the
matters which this investigation have
brought out have bean an open Sc
cret, among those who were posted,
for considerable time. The wonder
of it all is that Mr.. Schurz should have
been SO slow to act Among the 9th
er things proven is the fact that Hoyt
sent his son to act as agent in buying
o mine, and instructed him to appear
as Edward Knapp. The mine in ques-
ton had been placed outside of the In
dian reservation by resurvey, under
Hoyt's direction Yet he was here in
Washington talking about reform,
and pretending to despiso the ordiua-
ry, wicked politicians.
The New York Times anil other Re-
publican journals opposed to John
Sherman's presidential aspirations, are
making some serious charges against
him and his use of the Treasury pat
ronage. Sherman is ccttainly making
desperate efforts to capture southern
delegations, and there are indications
that ne has almost succeeded in one
State at least. At the recent meeting
of the North Carolina State Commit
tee it was found, very unexpectedly,
that Sherman had obtained control of
the committee, and Col Kcough, the
chairman, who is for Grant, at once
resigned. Keough is now here, being
secretary of the National Committee.
He boldly declares that agents Of John
Sherman are travelling over the South
ern States drawing S. and So per day
as special agents of the Treasury de-
partment, while theil sole business is
to secure Sherman delegates. Ac-
cording to all accounts there must be
a large number of them. This is a
pretty serious charge against the lead
ing member of a reform administers
ton, and it does not emanate from
Democratic sources either. But Sec
rotary Sherman never has acted
enough like a simon pure reformer to
fool anybody.
A strong movement is being made
to have the Democratic National Con-
vention held here. The Post is very
energetic in advocating it, and a good
many Congressman favor the idea.

AN INNOCENT ABROAD.

The other day the police at the
Union Depot noticed feeble-look-
ing old man wandering in and out
to kill time until his train should
depart, and as he occasionally dis
played quite a roll of bills, he was
cautioned to look out for pickpock-
cts and confidence men.
anybody wouldn't rob an old
man like me, would they?" he inno
Gently asked.
The warning was repeated, but
he logged around US before, and af-
ter time he was seen in consulta
ton with two strangers, who had
walked him around to the wharf.
An officer got him away from them
and angrily said:

gers? Those fellows are after your
money =
But how can they get it when |

hand on it all the timer

Eyes, I'll look out. but I don't
want to be uncivil. When anybody
talks to me, l like to talk back"
The strangers soon had him on
the string again, and in about a
quarter of an hour they left him in
IL hurried manner, and he saunter-
ed into the depot with his wallet in
his hand.
There. You've let 'em beat

much did you lend them?"

THACKERAY AND THE BOW
cry BOY.

The New York Times laments the
disappearance of that amusing and
not particularly wicked product,
the Bowery Boy" and repeats an
oft-told tale which seems TO lose
nothing by age or repetition.
Twenty-Five years ago, Thack-
cray, being DESTROYS to see a Bow
cry Boy" went with "a friend to the
haunts of that peculiar creature to
look for one. Very soon his COM
panion pointed out to him a genu-
inc specimen standing against Il
lamp post ON the corner of Il street,
red-shirted, black-trousered, soap
locked, shiny-hatted, with cigar in
mouth elevated at an angle OF forty
five degrees. After contemplating
him for few moments, Thackery
wanted to hear him talk, and con-
cluded to ask him the way to some
part of the city, saying politely:
my friend, I should like to go to-
such and such place. "Well," re-
piled the "Bowery Boy" in his pc
culiar and quiet, inexpressible toue,
and without moving anything ex-
cept his lips, as he looked up iazily
at the tail, gray-haired novelist,
"well, sonny, you can go If you
don't stay too long!" Thackeray
was quite satisfied.
