Washington Letter.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., August 2l., 1880
Mr. Hayes will leave next week for the west.
This gentleman has SO many qualities which
adorn private lie, and has failed so signally in
the two or three things he promised TO do il
made President, that il Is Il matter of regret
that he ever left his home. He proposed to deal
with ''StateS, not provinces" Yet only year
Of Radical pressure was required To make him
as active a stalwart rs any in the north He re-
buked Grant for long absences from this city.
lie has stayed away quite as much lie said he
would reform the civil service. People laugh
when they recall that promise. They rcmem
Der the millions of dollars paid out Of the Trea.
Sury To men who had no qualifications for Office,
paid out simply because the money was de-
manded for services in the fraud by which Mr..
Hayes obtained his seat. The people remember
too that every journey Mr.. Hayes has taken, or
his cabinet ministers haze taken has been po.
titical journey, just as the one of next week will
b.. 1t would have been better for Mr. Hayes
for the south, and for the civil service of the
country, if he had remained in OHIO, and this,
doubt not Will be the general verdict in dozen
years.
The latest attempt To njure General Hancock
ndircctly-not 4 word has been said against
him othcrwSe-iS statement that certain re-
cords bearing on affairs willie he was command
ing the nth military district, in 1865 and 1867
are missing from the War Department. OF
course he did nOt steal them and it Is equally
certain some Republican must have done SO,
for only Republicans have had charge Of the
Department, but these facts do not influence
those Radical papers which are bound TO say
something against the General, aud can fluid
nothing reasonable 10 say.
The reports received by the Democratic Con-
greSsiOnIl Committee here continue to Le favor
able. Chairman Wallace authorizes the state
ment that the Com nittee has uoJ had n diseour-
aging letter in the last month, and that the
announcements OF changes 10 Hancock are even
more numerous than he had expected though
he Is the most sanguine OF men. Every village
in the North seems to have citizens who will
vote for the GENERALLY and who never before
voted any but the Republican ticket.
In response to frequent letters from bus ness
men all over the country the Treasury 'annOua-
ceS that it will advise the early passage of an
act providing for 4 new issue Of fractional cur
rency. The reason generally urged by the
writer's is the great convenience of sending the
currency by mail in amounts, of less Than dol

the Galveston House was making out

Worth, and other modest wants Of

Worth, and other modest wants of
these statesmen and their dependents.
Gen. Hancock, when in command
out on the plains, marched against
this tribe of Indians, who were, ac-
cording to the documents of the In
dian department, as the leaves of the
forest in number, and as the whang-
doodle bereft OF her young in ferocily.
He found but ten, mostly old and
decrepit, and had marched over ard
annlhilated them before his columns
could be stopped. This was bad
enough, but he made a report of it
which was worse, for he therein cer-
tilted officially to the extirpation of
the remnant Of the celebrated Hole
n-the-Treasury tribe of Indians. and
at one fell swoop deprived an entire
section of Republican statesmen of
their figurative bread and butter, re-
ducing some of them to the extremity
Of levying post-tradership tax on
Haneock's private soldiers, who, they
reasonably argued, ought to make up
to them portion Of the 81, ,499, 800
per annum of which these soldiers had
bereft them. 1T
This episode sufficiently illustrates
Gen. Hancock's unfamiliarty with the
exigencies of bureaucratic civil ad.
ministration and shows that he has
not mastered even the rudiments OF
the modern craftsmanship whose
beauties have been gradually unfold
ing TO us during the last fifteen years.

into execution

A SURPRISE,
Which Befell n Champion Doing battle
for His Dog.

Major wasn't much of dog. He
was o yellow and useless canine, be-
sides being NANCY and miscellaneous.
Notwithstanding these blem,shes he
was loved and cherished by his own
er, JAS. Kiely. Jim thought every
thing of the pup. He had taught
hlm to snap crackers in mid air, and
when his masters voice would say,
"Crackers amt good for dogs" he
would crouch on the floor and eye
the bait with wistful eye until Jim
said, "Well, yes, crackers are good
for dogs" when he would snap up
the cracker like lightning. Last
night Jim sat in front of saloon at
the corner Of Twenty-first street and
Franklin avenue. and was displaying
the accomplishments of Major TO a
party of admiring friends. The dog
stood on his hind legs and begged,
then he jumped through hoop, and
finally ''went dead and suffered
himself to be pulled around by the
ears on the pavement.
A negro named Chas. cambridge
had been an Interested witness of the
impromptu performance, aud closely
eyeing the canine prodigy.
"Say." he asked, "whar you gil
dat dawg?'
"Wbere did i git him! raised
him from pup, We black spalpeen.
''He looks jist like pup of mine,
said the colored man, san jam mt
if 1 don't b'lieve it's my dawg."
s'Oh, come, now," said kiely
''come off. Let up on the game
ye're givin' u.s."
'.No, sah,' said cambridge; 81
don't let up on nothing. It's IN,
dawg. Bose! heah! heah! Com'
heah, sah!" T..
| The dog, encouraged by the new
comer's manner, trotted, over to him
expecting a cracker.
Now, by the howly mackerel,
said Kiely, sthis is too much alto
getlier. Be offrwid you, ye blscl
diyil, or I'll wipe the crossin' wiz

A dispatch from Paris says: The
reports sent to America of the suicide
of Mrs. Annie Wetmore, the divorced
wife Of citizen of New York, at the
residence of the divorced English wife
of Lord Albert Pelham Clinton, in this
city, are likely to become the subject
of serious judicial investigation. There
appears to be no reason whatever to-
suppose that the unfortunate Mrs. Wet
more committed suicide at all, her
death being officially reported as
caused by congestion of the brain.
The story of the suicide is to-day
believed TO have been concocted
by clique of persons IN this
city, of various nationalities but Of
one social class, in hope of extorting
hush money from conspicuous for.
eigner, formerly acquainted with. Mrs.
Wetmore. 1t is painful story, and
the details will probably throw very
unpleasant light on certain aspects of
