WASHINGTON LETTER.
I From orr Regular CorYespon dent.


WASHINGTON, ID. c., June IA, 1880.
Legislative business is being pushed
with considerable energy, as the day of
adjournment approaches, but the APP
preparation bills are receiving much
more deliberate consideration than it
has been customary to give them in
the feverish final days and nights Of a
congressional session. The important
work of Congress has not been post
poned until the last forty-eight hours
of the session, to be rushed through
with wasteful haste, as has been too
frequently the case with past Con
crosses.
The House will meet at half-past 8
o'clock to-day for the purpose Of con-
sidering the joint rule in relation to
the counting of the electoral vote.
MI. Bicknell, who has charge Of the
subject, hopes to be able to pass it, but
the Republicans express a determines
ton to resist it to the end. The Dem
ocrats have not members here to make
quorum, and all the Republicans
have to do is to withhold their votes
and the joint rule cannot be adopted.
The failure to pass this joint rule
will not, in itself, prolong the session.
There are members, however, who do
not believe that the necessary business
will be completed in time to enable
them to get away on Wednesday. They
think the time for adjournment will
be extended until Friday or Saturday.
Of the three appropriation bills yet to
be disposed of, the Sundry Civil bill

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON, June 10th, 1880.


The nomination of General Garfield
for the Presidency by the Republican
National Convention was surprise to
nearly every one here, and some of the
stalwart Republicans who did not APP
prove of General Garfeld's course on
the United States Marshals' Bill illus
trated their feelings by telling the sto-
ry of a party that went out on fish
inc excursion. There being a differ
ence as to who should do the cooking,
to settle it, one of the company said he
would cook upon the express condition
that the first one who found fault with
the cooking should take his place as
cook They caught fine lot of fish,
and were anticipating fine dinner of
fresh fish. The person who first tasted
of the fish remarked, "This fish is d--n
salt INSTANTLY thinking Of the above
conditiOn), but it is good"
No Republican will hesitate to buckle
on his armor and fight to the last for
the success of General James A. Gar
| field and Chester A. Arthur, as Presi-
| ident and Vice-President. They are
the representatives Of the great Repub-
lican party that has done SO much for
the nation, and has such a mission be-
fore it. 1t has abolished slavery in
putting down the greatest rebellion on
earth. 1t has given us the best curren-
CIV of any nation in the world. 1t has
bonded the enormous debt created in
crushing the rebellion SO that, if the
Republican party is continued in pow
er. every dollar will be paid upon ma
| turity. Il has the duty yet to perform
to see that every man in every section
of the country has the right to exercise
the elective franchise without fear OF
molestation, and that it shall be hon
estly counted after his vote has been
cast, thereby preventing the Southern
Confederates from returning to Con
gress, through murder, intimidation
and tissue ballots, enough members tC
control the legislation of the country
Should any Republican hesitate, lei
him read the following extract from
the speech Of General Bradley T. John
, son at the decoration of the graves o.
the Confederate soldiers in Londor
Park Cemetery, Baltimore, on the 4tl
inst:

NOT ON THE DEFENSIVE.

There is nothing else that does a
Democrat so much good as to get his
political opponent on the defensive.
Hence the cry of "Credit Mobilier,' y
Salary Grab" Eight to Seven States
manship of Garfield" This is some
what amusing, to say the least, when
we observe the source from whence
this howl comes.
In the House of Representatives
where Mr.. Garfield has been for years
the Republican leader, no Democrat
can be found who questions Mr.. Gar
fields absolute integrity. Where he
is personally known he is honored as
a patriotic, upright, candid mana
man to be trusted by both parties,--a
man who is clear-sighted, level-headed
and reliable.
But in the corner groceries, where
he had never been heard of until he
was nominated, and by microscopical
Democratic politicians who carry ex-
ceedingly dull axes, Mr.. Garfield will
be denounced as thief, a blackleg,
and corrupt from the sole of his foot
to the crown of his head. And the
TELEGRAPH feels very much like
saying, eco ahead, and Guido your
selves, if possible, boys. Make all the
noise you can. There are principles
involved, and grand issues at stake
and the deeper you dive into mud and
filth, the less liable will you be to med
die with principles and issues, and the
greater will be the probability OF
their settlement on the basis of abso.
lutte Justice
In a single sentence we may say
that James A. Garfeld's record is cze01a
and his character is spotless,; and be.
yOnd that we do not propose to be put
upon the defensive just now. On the
contrary, we are preparing to move
upon the enemy's works and make
things little lively in the other camp
And so it is all along the Republican
line.

and will add greatly to the strength Of
the ticket in that state.
THE REUNION.

Milwaukee never before saw such a
crowd as on Wednesday and Thursday
Of last week. In the grand parade on
Thursday forty thousand veterans and
militia were in line, and at least one
hundred thousand strangers and sight
seers witnessed the imposing specta-
Gle. Generals Grant and Sheridan re-
viewed the troops, if they may be SO
called. Divisions were formed and
placed under the old commanders as
follows: The Wisconsin National
Guard under Brig. Gen. E. E. Bryant
the First Div. under Mai. Gen. c. C.
Washburne; the Second Div. under
Brig. Gen. E. S. Bragg; the Third Div.
under Brig. Gen. John C. Starkweath-
er; the Fourth Div. under Brig. Gen.
J. M. Rusk, and the Fifth Div, con.
sisting of invited guests and inmates
OF the Soldiers Home, under Brig.
Gen. Halbert E. Paine.
We have no space for a detailed des-
cription of the great event. The
crowd was much too large for comfort.
Ali were glad to get home again, al
though the meeting CT old friends in
arms and the renewing of old associa-
tiOns was pleasant in the extreme.

REUNION.

The Roberts family met together
last Sunday, the first time for num-
Der OF years, and probably the last time
on this side the dark river. w. E..
Roberts, wife and daughter, from Bat
tie Creek, Iowa; John, from Fox Riv-
er; George, from Benton, ILL.,, complet-
ing the family circle. w. E. Roberts
left this morning for his home in the
West in one of those wondrous towns
that seem to grow by magic. Two
years and six months ago 1t was Sben
prairie. Now it has five stores, two
blacksmiths, harness maker, three
doctors. and, of course, issues a news
paper, and has depot that did about
$500 of business last month.
A DAY'S PLEAsURE(?)
Having a desire to see the reunion
Of the boys in blue, l started last
Wednesday per rail for Milwaukee.
On entering the car for seat well
you might now and then see one, but
to sit was out of the question; yet at
the next station more piled in and on.
A cast-irOn corset would have been a
blessing to protect your ribs from your
neighbor's elbows. We took on more
cars, but there was still more people,
and the temper Of the conductor must
have been almost angelic, as he twist
ed and wriggIed through the crowd
after tickets with genial smile on his
phiZ. When we got to Milwaukee I
supposed we should find elbow room,
but no, you had to keep your eyes open
wide CT you would never, well, hardly
ever, find your way through the crowd.
A party of ten Of us went into bak-
cry, where they promised us lunch
in twenty minutes. They brought us
eight plates and seven pieces of
bread, with about as much ham as
Kupfer would supply to two custom
ers, with coffee like ditch water. At
ter long hunt for a street car, we
decided to go by the cars to the camp.
Here we were squeezed fiat, but arrived
safe. After a walk of a mile through
Canada thist,es and clay, we reached
the parade ground, and by standing
tip-toe we could see the tips of some
bayonets and the top of some flags
At last, miry and weary, we wended
our way towards home. But the most
awful thing about it was to call il
pleasure. SENEX.

CHESTER 4. ARTHUR.

Gen. Arthur, the Republican nomi-
nee for Vice-President, was born in
Franklin, Vermont, Oct Is, 1880, and
will therefore be fifty years of age at
the time of his election.
He graduated at Union College at
the age of IS. He was in early life an
Abolitionist, and has since been an
active andIconsistent Republican. He
has a wide reputation as lawyer and
advocate, and is now Roscoe Conz-
lings law partner.
He was Quartermaster and Inspect.
or General of the state of New York
during the rebellion. In 1871 Gen
Grant appointed him collector of the
Port of New York, which position he
held until removed in 1878 by Presi
dent Hayes for an alleged violation Of
the Civil Service Rules. An investi
eating committee reported at the time
that his Office was a model in every
respect.
He is very popular in New York

Motions may be made at any time
IN the House now to suspend the rules,
and it is probable, therefore, that sew
eral important measures will be acted
upon. There are many bills which
would receive the approval of the ma
jority Of the House if they were per-
mltted to be brought to vote, but
under the rules a single objection pre-
vents it. The single objection is, how
ever, of no avail on a motion to suS-
pend the rules, and any measure that
tWo-thirds will agree to can have a
chance of being voted on.
The expression with reference to the
Chicago nomination among the ten
thousand residents of the District in
Government employ who will vote in
their respective States next Novem-
Der are almost identical with those
upon the nomination of Governor
Hayes four years ago. A large major
ity would have preferred Blaine or
Grant. just as they hoped that Morton,
COnkling or Blaine would be nomi-
mated then. But it cannot be said that
there IS real dissatisfaction with the
ticket. On the contrary, there is a
very general belief that General Gar
field will make strong candidate, and
poll the full strength of the party.
The Chicago nominee, is of course,
very we'll known in Washington. He
is, believe, the first candidate for the
chief magistracy who has belonged to
the religious denomination Of which
the late Alexander Campbell is sup
posed to have been the founder. The
church which he attends in this city
is a very small wooden edifice on Yer
mont avenue, the only one of the de-
nomination in Washington, and it is
under the charge of Rev. F. d. Power.

The Madison Democrat calls leading
Republicans by such pleasant titles as
"JOhn Eliza Pinkston Sherman
Wood-Pulp Garfield" Old Uncondi-
tional Surrender The Maine Dema-
gogue," etc. Somehow this sort of
an argument takes right hold, and, if
the Democrat will only keep it up long
enough, the entire Republican party
will undoubtedly embrace the Demo-
cratic faith.

Mortal man, how prone to fault
finding But few days ago many
were complaining of so much dry
weather. Now the moaning seems to
be the reverse, and think they should
be allowed to find little fault with
such showers as we had Monday.
Our Presidential nomination gives
almost entire satisfaction to Republi-
cans, and many Of our Democrats
think they will vote for him if S. J. T.
receives the nomination on their ticket.
What sensible thought?
Many Of our citizens, also citizen
soldiers, took in the Reunion at Mil
Waukee last week. Most of them re-
port an enjoyable time, considering
the crowd. There were many sights
to be seen that would almost bring the
hardest of hearts to tears, when old
veterans met that had laughed in the
face of the braZen-mouthed cannon at
Vicksburg, Shiloh and scores of other
hard-fought fields. The tears would
course down their cheeks as though
mourning departed one. There are
ties that bind them that can never be
severed but by death.

The late wet weather makes the re-
cessity of some system Of sewerage and
drainage more than usually apparent
in Kenosha. Next to an abundant
supply of pure water, this is the most
important question our Common Coun-

should be taken at once to increase and
then preserve the hGalthfulness Of the
city by executing some plan whereby
our cellars may be emptied our cess
pools caused to disappear, and the con-
stantly increasing amount of decaying
organic matter removed. No cry OF
economy should initiate against this
movement. When life is at stake
