Congressman Daggett of Nevada lost
his temper at an overcharge by the Central
Pacific of SIG so on his baggage and took
1t out of the railroad company by ranking
huge boxes of congressional documents
back and forth over the road. The next
election came in due time, three weeks
ago. and Congressman Daggett was de.
ieated by the votes of the railroad en-
ployes who had wasted their time and
their tempers over Daggetts documents.
William Nj. Tweed once said of civil
service reform in the New York city
government: my successor can easily
make great Improvements; l could run
the department with one.third of nv
! present force; but could not lonu hold
my political power and influence in that
way; neither can he or any one else nc
parties now exist in this city," Tweed
was what is known as a practical politi-
clan, and died in Jail.
Gen. Grant attended Plymouth church
Sunday. At the close of the service he
sat down to wait until the audience had
gone out, but so great was the desire 10
see him that hardly any one went out. As
there seemed no prospect of the church
being emptied Mr.. Beecher remounted the
platform and desired that the audience
should pass out. He added: "A special
service can be held if you wish to wor-
ship man. This is house for the wor.
ship of God."At this Gen. CIR mt rose and
started down the asile. The crowd waited
until he was driven away in his carriage.
General Garfield, after visit of nearly
week in Washington, has returned to his
Ohio home. He went to Washington on
private business, and declined public re-
cepton on his arrival. Never did man
have warmer greeting in that city. His
little home was thronged with visitors,
and he has found little time to attend to
the business that took him to the capita l.
He heard n good deal of advice, but it is
apparent that he intends to keep his own
counsel. No sign has been made of his
intentions in relation to cabinet, and
there is current belief that he will make
his own selections in his own way and at
a time of his own choosing. The course
he has pursued has been such rs to in |
crease the respect and confidence of the
public.

Washington Letter,

WASHINGTON. D. c., Nov. 81, 1880.
Thanksgiving has again come and gone
1t was spent very quietly in Washington.
As usual all the government departments
were closed, and there was a general sus
pension of business. The day was cold
and cloudy, and, towards evening snow
storm set in. Very few people were seen
on the streets, most of them being content
to remain indoors or attend thanksgiving
services at church. General and Mrs
Garfield occupied their accustomed place.
in the Vermont Avenue Disciples Church
Thanksgiving morning. The edifice wa
comfortably filled, but there was no crowd
The pastor, Rev. Frederick Power, select
ed for the basis of his sermon the tentl
verse of the eight chapter of Nehemiah
Then he said unto them, 90 your way
eat the fat and drink the sweet, and sen,
portions unto them for whom nothing il
prepared" At the close of the services
General Garfield held quite reception ii
the church. All the members of the cong
regation stopped to shake hands with him
self and Mrs. Garfield, and very cordia
greeting was extended them.
The president-elect spent the balance o
the day very quietly at his home. Der
Butlerworth, Amos Townsend, and few
Others dined with him and his wife, and
during the evening quite a number Of
callers were received.
Gen. Garfield has made arrangements
to leave for his Ohio home Monday even
ing, which will, no doubt, seriously disap-
point some thousands of office-seekers who
nave hoped to catch him here at the BEGIN
ming of the session.
We expect to be inundated with con-
gressmen next week, also their sisters.
cousins, aunts, the lobby, in short, with
the usual winter population of the United
States capital. Washington has been pre-.
pairing like bride to receive her groom
She has baptized her stoops with soap.suds
busted the desks and shaken the carpets
in the Senate, House and committee
rooms; but especially she has prepared
several million dollars estimates for her
special pin money, and it is expected that
congress will graciously appropriate till
the swa'nps of the Potomac are turned
into limpid lakes, till the Washington
Monument shall rise higher than the dome
of st. Peters; until, in short, one of the
worst favored of natural localities has been
changed into an urban paradise. Maybe
congress will do this, but it will be better
economy to remove Washington to more
healthful better drained locality.

Paris Letter.
PARIS. France. Nov. II, 1880.


France has once more verified her own
say ing that nothing is so certain as the
unexpected Not even the keenest OBJ
servers of French politics dreamed hat
the Ferry cabinet would meet the chamber
of deputies and fall from power an hour
afterwards, and the political world has
never before been astonished with such a
spectacle. 1t is not many months since
NJ. Ferry succeeded to the position from
which NJ. de Freycinct was so abruptly
displaced. He has shown great energy
in performing task detested by a large
minority, but approved by the majority of
Frenchmen, and expressly ordered by the
chamber. His list of measures was full,
not to say overfull, and his language was
so bold as almost to deserve the epitbet lf
arrogant" The fierce derision exhibited
by the right only served to render his aP-
parent triumph more complete, and i
might fairly have been assumed that the
ministry had secured ample sanction. But
danger lurked beneath the surface. The
extreme left desires above all things 10
purify" the magisterial bench and bring
it into harmony with the republic; in
other words, to remove political opponents
after an old established fashion, which it
was hoped had disappeared. Ministers,
on the other hand, wished to proceed at
once with the education bills. The right
saw its opportunity in the schism, and
joining with the ultras, defeated the gov.
eminent. So far AS the extreme left was
concerned, the stroke was, perhaps, plan
ned beforehand, and it may be that a
knowledge of this fact weighed most with
NJ Ferry when he took his decision. For
that resolution no one seems to have been
prepared. NJ. Grevy counseled reconsid-
GRAFTON, and the matter was deferred until
last night. How should this astonishing
incident be regarded? On the surface, it
wears the aspect of a surprise, effected BY
Il fortuitous concourse of atoms" Prob
! ably, however, divers causes at present
concealed or imperfectly known were al
work beneath; and these time alone can
reveal. The ups and downs of French
parties are not calculable by Frenchmen
themselves. One fact, however, is toler.
ably plain. There is a strife for FREEDOM
nance at the approaching general elect
ton, because, although official "candid,,
lures are not in fashion, the actual POI.
SCISSORS of Office do still exert considerable
influence upon the constituencies. 1t Is
impossible that this motive should not op'
crate upon the several contending frac.
tons. The Repu6liQue Franchise advise
the ministers to withdraw their resigna
tions, and demand vote of confidence
and that suggestion will probably furnA
a way out of an unexpected difficulty.

The Presidential Vote.

The Chicago Tribune has returns Of the
presidential vote from all the states. In
its table however it puts the whole fusion
vote of Maine in the Hancock column.
This should not be done as nearly 10000
of this number was cast by supporters of
Weaver. This being corrected would give
Garfield plurality of about 10000 above
Hancock.
