OUR CORRESPONDENCE.
FROM THE CAPITAL,

WASHINGTON, D. O., June 9, 1880.
1t must be that the American PEG.
pie are becoming more excitable
The wild confusion at Chicago was al
most paralleled in the House Of Repre-.
sentatives yesterday when General
Garfeld's nomination was announced
Members threw up their hats and
canes and cheered until business had
to be suspended. Democrats exhibited
almost as lively an interest in the
result as did republicans.
Of the strength of the ticket
Garfield and Arthur-thers. is a
great difference of opinion among
both democrats and republicans, but
the. general impression is, I think,
that it will run better than would a
ticket headed by either Grant or
Blaine. 1t is plain, from general
conversation here among politicians,
that the Democracy will do their best
to select good men at Cincinnati
without regard to individual "claims"

Of such character as to give Gar
fields friends abundant chance for
eIertion. 1t is matter Of regret to
all republicans that the prominent
men of the party, such men as Grant,
Blaine, Conkling and Logan, bscame
SO bitter as to play the part of dog in
the msnger. Grant was determined
if he didn't get it Blaine shouldn't,
and the field combined in determin-
alton that Grant should not have it
anyhow. The republicans seem af-
ficted with dark horses. It's first
President was dark horse. Hayes
a dark. horse and now Garfield, its
last nominee, a dark horse. But as
l have said before Garfield has ele-
ments of strength that will combine
his party, and all republicans will
work desperately to elect him.
Congress is a lazy body lately. 1t
is not attempting TO push business,
but will probably be ready for sd,
journment by the 18th or 18th. In
fact, everything is in order SO that
little effort would dispose of all un-
finished business which anyone anti
oipates will be disposed of. Yester'
day the Senate 0haplain's prayer was
addressed to only few persons.
Those Representatives who believe
in action at this session on some parts
of the tariff scored nominal victory
yesterday. No changes were made
except as to small class of articles
imported prior to January, 1881, un'
der contracts entered into before
March 1st, last, but The action was
gratifying to many members.
In the Senate yesterday Mr.. Davis
of West Virginia, presented the re-
port of the Conference Committee on
the Legislative bill, and said there
was no hope of an agreement as to the
salaries of the Senate employees
which was the disagreeing part of the
bill. Mr.. Voorhees, moved new
committee and had it instructed to
adhere to the Senate amendments.

The County Commissioners on
Thursday appropriated one thousand
dollars to be expended upon the
streets of Frostburg. The disburse-
ment of this money is in the hands OF
the Town Council. Add this amount
to the probable sum to be raised by
taxation and they will have nearly
FIVE thousand dollars to apply to cor
porate purposes.
1t may be hobby, but we cherish
it all the same. We desire to see the
corporation rid of the little floating
debt of $l,252 which has been hang
ing over Il for several years, growing,
we think, triAs larger every year.
This year, for instance, it is $44 lar
ger than last--a kind of growth very
insidious and dangerous.
We like to see public improvements
going on, but would rather have
them go slow, or not at all, until We
get out of debt. With all possible
Difference to our City Fathers we sug-
gest that the first provision that
ought to be made is sum set aside
for no other purpose than to extin-
guish the debt. Then let the i'm
provements go on to the extent Of
their certain resources, and no fur
thor.
This policy will make every draft
hereafter issued as good as its face
value, instead of going begging for
takers at large discounts. Any MEM
Der Of the Council who has carried a
draft in his pocket six months will
see the force Of this. A debt-pay-
ing record is better all the time than
q dsbt.making record.
