however, return nearly as much TO the

TFrom Our Regular Correspondent
Washington Letter.

WASHINGTON. d. C.. July 81, 1880.
The republicans have made a splendid
start in the present presidential race, and
were never before favored with SO many
auspices of success. Campaign contribu-
tions are pouring in from all sources with
rrodigality never before equaled. Your
correspondent has opportunities for know
ing this to be fact, and If he could
but appropriate the receipts of the money
order office for the republican campaign
committee for three days, he would re-
tire from the hot and thorny field of
journalism and 60 to Coney Island or to
Paris.
Besides the great advantage OF initiative
in this campaign, important in every spe-
cies of conflict, the republicans begin to
realize that their candidate has many adj
vantages over the padded military shape
that has been set up against him, and
they are furthermore encouraged by the
unity and harmony which is becoming
conspicuous in all their rank and file.
When chieftains, personally so antagonis-
tic rs Conkling and Jewell or Logan and
Schurz, bend their energies in common
cause, what may not be expected from
their united efforts?
Nothing, not even foreign war, would
be more calamitous than the accession of
the democrats to power. In the train of
Hancock would follow at least half
million Of the hungriest, most wolfsh Office
seekers that famine, ignorance, and indo-
lence ever brought forth. The thousands
of places now filled by able and exper-
fenced men and women would be turned
over to this marauding horde, and TO all
the confusion of Babel would be added
the wild ruin of looted public treasury.
Said the democratic editor of ono of the
best papers in the south, after he had seen
the Tammany crowd at the late Cincinnati
convention: IF lived in New York
would be republican" Your CORE
spondent was in Washington when the
democrats got control of the House of
Representatives four years ago, and saw
the hosts of red-nosed, blear-eyed bum
mers that followed in their train TO get
the few offices that were under the con-
troll of the House. These thousands of
physically, morally. and politically rotten
men were but IL squad in comparison to
the myriads that will swarm from all the
sources of pollGtion that mark the places
of democratic stencil and strength

The new iron bridge across the Red
river, at Little Rock, Arkansas. of the St.
Louis, Iron mountain and Southern rail-
way. is completed and and trains will
cross to-day. The length is 1888 feet, be-
tween abutments. The draw span is 800,
one fixed span 3l2. and two fixed spans
SO feet each. The bridge is first-class in
every respect.
SCHEMES FOR CROSSING THE ENGLISH
CHANNEL.-The proposed channel tunnel
between England and France seems likely
to be built. One shaft has been sunk to
the required depth, and it is asserted that
in Is months ut least two and half
miles will have been bored under the
channel and that the work will be COM
pleted in four years. probably by boring
from each end. There are evidently.
however, contingencies. such rs break
the rock, which may destroy tho whole
enterprise. Meanwhile another bold
scheme for crossing the channel contem-
plates line of steel tubes Is feet in diam
eter ballasted SO as to make it weigh II
tons to the foot less than the water dis
placed, and held Mt depth of thirty-fiv
feet below the surface, so as not to impede
navigation, by being anchored by chains
to cassions sunk to the bottom. Through
this floating tunnel of 10 miles or so it is
proposed that railway trains shall pass.
AN IMPORTANT OPPOSITION TO THE
GRAND TRUNK.-Bradley Barlow, presi-
dent of the southeastern railway, has just
secured charter from the Quebec legis-
lature to construct railway from Mon
treal to Polsdam Junction, N. Y. The
funds are ready and the work will begin
Immediately. The object is to give another
trunk line west TO Chicago in opposition
to the Grand Trunk by way of the Rome
and Watertown road and connections to
Niagara, thence by the Canada Southern
to Detroit, and from there to Chicago by
the Michigan Central. Over this scheme
and the Montreal Tunnel and South Shore
railroad bill, which has also passed both
houses of parliament, the Grand Trunk
officials feel greatly excited, and well they
may. for the New York Central will
thereby get an independent connection
with Montreal, ana the Southeastern and
North Shore roads can meet at Montreal,
and thus become independent for the first
time since the Grand Trunk was built.

Col. Bodine of the American rifle team,

yards of black silk. The goods and
ties.
And still there's more to follow. Albert
Allen, late executive clerk for Gov. Bishop
and secretary of the Ohio university, has
como out for Garfield. He says that he
cannot see why any honest and conscien-
tious man can refuse to vote for him, for
he is good man. This announcement
has created dismay among democratic
politicians, especially the Bishop men of
Ohio.
The wheat harvest is now fairly under
way in the great northwest, and there are
glowing reports of the fine condition of the

ed much of the damage done by storms
earlier in the season, and the average
yield is estimated at from Is to Is bushels
of No l wheat to the acre. The thresh-
ing-machne, however. has way of its
own in cutting down the sanguine antci.
patons of the harvesting, though there is
no doubt that everybody is feeling good
over the present prospect.
The constituents of Representative
Springer, of Illinois, are highly incensod
because in a speech he vouchel for Gen.
Garfeld's honesty, and declared that the
charges against him were untrue. The
Chicago Times says: UNLESS he retracts
his declarations the chances are that he
will be severely disciplined To be.
gin with, he will be dropped by the
democracy of his district. and his voice
will, after the 9TH of March next, be heard
in congress no more forever. Nor is that
all. 1t may become necessary in order to
carry out the southern programme, to have
n trustworthy man at the head of the cleo
lions committee next WINTER

PARIS, France, Jul

PARIS, France, July IA, 1880.
While the the incidents of the national
fee are still fresh in the minds of your
readers, may draw your attention to a
fact which is, believe without parallel,
not only in the history of Paris, but in
that of any large city of Europe-the al
most total absence of the police force
from the streets in the evening of July
l4h. The people were left to themselves
and to their own devices, and well did
they show themselves worthy of the
confidence reposcd in them. Although
the boulevards, streets, and smaller thor
oughfares were thronged with pedestrians,
there was not one sign of tumult or dis
order. 1t is certainly no exaggeration to
say that such an experiment could not
have been attempted here before without
every prospect of scenes of riot, if not
worse. The quiet and steadiness of the
good people of Paris on the 18th reflects
the utmost credit, not only on themselves,
but on the sagacity of the governments,
which, in spite of dismal representation,
proved,ln the most unerring manner, how
thoroughly they were to be trusted. The
French, not only in Paris, but in the
provinces, have shown. by their conduct
at their national fele, that they are ripe
for selfgovernment, and that the republi-
cans regime is established upon more
stable and solid foundation than its adver-
saries care to admit. The 18th of July
has inaugurated new era in France.
The army has been recognized and is as
popular as ever with the nation. The
civil institutions are also firmly planted.
A vexed question has been removed in the
shape of the amnesty. A fair start has
been made, and it is now only necessary
to remain within the lines of peace and
moderation. 1t is TO be hoped that the
| government, conscious of its strength,
may devise some means of avoiding the
difficulty presented by the March DEGREES.
Mercy been granted to the prescribed, and
leniency may be well shown to all those
religious orders which have not taken up
an uncompromisingly hostile attitu de
towards the republic. Many of the
Paris journals devote leading articles to-
day to the subjects of the national fete, ex-
pressing much satisfaction at the manner
in which it has gone off. In SO doing
they only re-echo the opinion of all fair
and impartial spectators that the entire
success with which the military ceremony
; and the accompanying rejoicings have
been crowned was thoroughly well de-
served. The Rcpubique FrancaisS says
that the army which marched before the
president is the regenerated. vivifed and
national army, and no longer the imperial
force. The republic loves this army as
no despot ever loved his pretorian guards.
There is no sacrifice that the republic is
not prepared to make for it. 1t no longer
depends on the favor of the prince. 1t has
not now to defend half-rotten throne.
1t obeys the law, and is the champion of
France herself.

Mr.. B. B. Smalley, of the national dem.
ocratic committee, has been interviewed
in New York, and said: :" We have re-

October, and as it goes in October so will
it 60 in November. The state committee
is well organized in every state, and we
are receiving calls for speakers every
day" On the other hand Gen. Banks,
who has lately returned from a western
tour. says. The people everywhere are
alive and working for Garfield and Arthur.
There is rs much enthusiasm as there was
in 1872. While many republicans espe.
cially the soldier element of the party,

The democrats and greenbackers of the
first Maine district have both nominated
Gen. Samuel j. Anderson for congress.
Germany has begun to feel the nev-
table result of great wars and an over
grown military system in the falling off
of the average size and strength of re-
cruits. This is found particularly the
case in the manufacturing towns. At
Barmen. for instance, out Of FOG in their
Goth year only 124 were fit for service, and
the examiners in all parts of the empire
report the same thing.
The most disastrous fire which has visit
ed Buffalo, N. Y, for some years broke
out in Dewitt's planning mill the goth ult.,
and swept over an area quarter of mile
long and about 500 feet broad; loss $685.
600; insurance SlS5,O00. Dewitt's plan
ing mill, one of the largest in the country,
being 300Xl80 feet, was destroyed in 10
minutes and so rapid WAS the progress of
the flames that there was no time to close
the office safe, which was burned with tho
contents. An IS feet fly wheel, weighing
about 10 tons, burst and flew some so feet.
The flames next bnrned Scales & Brun-
ing's and the Wilson planning mills, the
immense lumber piles of ID. G. Welch &
Co.. and Benson & Lock and R. Mills &
Cos ship yard. Captain Frank Perew's
floating elevator, Bridgewater," which
was lying on the opposite side of the creek
from Dewitt's planning mill was totally
destroyed.

In 1870 these states had over one fourth
of the population of the country. If they
have the same proportion now. the popu-
lation of the country is put at 100000,
but as it is known that many of the states
have little or no increase it is not expect
ed that this estimate will be realized.
Probably 100000 will be about the
figure.
