[From Our Regular Correspondence
Washington Letter.
WASHINGTON. d. c., Oct. /. 1880.

WASHINGTON, " ", OCt. IL looV.
notwithstanding their whooping, gong
beating campaign of noise. it is becoming
quite evident that the enfeebled and de-
ceased old party of political and moral
reprobates is in desperate situation
bankrupt in money and in character.
The democratic organ here, the "Daily
POST" came out yesterday with fraatic
double loaded appeal for campaign mo 'ey
that sounded very much like a death rat
tie in the throat of democracy. 1t begged
for aims like a pauper, made pitiful
confession of poverty, and lack of the
material si1ews upon which parties bereft
of their principles alone rely. l will
quote: ITO defray the Legitimate expenses
of the campaign in Indiana alone fully
100000 are needed. On an average
there are hundred democratic meetings
held every twenty-four hours in that state,
and not one of them costs less than S25.
Thai rate of expense would quickly run
up to 100000 Then there are barbe-
cues, and rallies of tens of thousands, and
grand state rallies-like that proposed for
the 9TH of October at Indianapolis-whIch
cost all the way from $500 to $4,000.
Besides all this, must be counted the tons
of reading matter now being printed and
circulated, and the expenses of speakers
who are brought from distant states. To
guard the polls on the day of election and
furnish conveyances for tardy or luke
warm or infirm voters there should be at
least Il fund in the hands of the Indiana
committee of $4,000. l say the demo-
Gratis comparatively have no money and dc
not seem TO be able to get any. The
largest contribution made to the fund OF
the national committee so far is 1925 900
which was given by Mr.. Tilden,-and
that was only sent in last week-whereas
it has been asserted over and over again
that the old gentleman has given 800. 900.
The next most liberal contribution was
from that sterling and most liberal and
steadfast of democrats. Augustus Schell
who gave $4,000, Judge Hilton, see by
the papers, has given 100000. 1t is not
true-not one twentieth part true. AL
together the collections of Mr.. Barnum' S
committee, up to this hour, are less than
100000. Violate no confidence ir
these statements because the information
channels, nor do vouch for its scrupu-
lous correctness. But there is no doubt
that it is, in the main. true"

The Senate and House organized this
"Wednesday forenoon with less than the
usual contests. Mr.. Baldwin, the former
secretary of the Senate, was not candi.
cate for reelection and his experienced
assistant Chauncey w. Brownell of Bur-
lington, was chosen secretary unanimous
ly. There were several ballots for asss.
tant secretary on the last of which Frank
A. Dwinell, Esq, of Plalnfeld, was chosen.
Rev. Mr.. Wheelock of Cambridge was
elected chaplain. The organization of the
House is elsewhere reported.
Mr.. Martin received the deserved com.
pliment of a unanimous election as speak
'er and there was like unanimity in the
choice of Mr.. Newell as clerk The legis-
lature has thus done its first business, that
of organization, with commendable Judy
ment and rapidly.
Its work tomorrow will be among other
things to receive the messages of the out
going and incoming governors and with
the suggestions these documents will con-
tain and the consideration of the reports
laid before them by the commission on
revision of the statutes the members will
find ample enjoyment for the week in the
preliminary consideration of what leoisa
ton is needed.
The consideration of the revision of the
laws will be solid work for the best men
of the legislature in committee and for all
good Legislators on the floor of the House
The report of Judge Veazey on court ex-
penses appears also to have been carefully
prepared and to be an exhaustive review
of the subject. Besides these matters there
will be the usual number of important
bills one of which will relate to our grand
list laws.

should attend their meetings and make a

Lord Mountmorres, an unpopular Irish
landlord, was murdered about ten days
ago. His tenants or others in the vicinity
are thought to have committed the deed.
There is great excitement in Ireland and
this murder has increased it. Parnell is
speaking to immense assemblages and it
is thought that serious disturbances may
be coming in the near future. The action
of the house of lords in obstructing legis-
lation favored by the commons is full as
likely to impair the power of the lords in
the end as to be permanent obstruction
to measures proposed in the interests of
liberal government.

S. NJ. WAITE.-In the Windham coun-
ty court the trial of Sllas NJ Waite
was set by Judge Veazey to commence at
an adjourned term of court, October 18th.
Waite still remains in Jail as hereto fore.
and since Mr. Eddy was retained by him
he has talked less to newspaper men and
others He has told number of conflict
ing stories regarding the knowledge which
different directors of the bank had of the
true condition of its aff,rs. and but little
dependence can be placed upon what he
has said ut the numerous " interviews g"
which have been had with him. One
point in his story he still sticks closely to-
and that is, that the bank, when it was
changed to Il national bank eighteen years
ago, did not have its pretended capital
of 100000, but in reality was 100000
short of it, that amount having been sunk
in bad speculations while it was state
institution. f j. Phelps, Esq, will be

Mr.. BLAINE's TACT.-Mr. Blaine's tact
in making friends by being friendly is one
of his most favorite characteristics. 1t is
said TO he nothing short of wonderful how
he recalls the individual names of his
constituents rs he presses the hand of
one and ano her with his magnetic grasp
and tells each what year he noticed his
course in the legislature or met him in Il
campaign. So it appears he remembers
the particular local vanties of the various
communities he visits. In New Jersey the
other day he fattered the Jerseymen to
the top of their bent. At the state fair,
where he was introduced by the demo
cratic Senator Randolph, he said - do
not think that in these thirty-eight states
there is one so fortunately situated as New
Jersey. 1t stands between two of the
greatest populations in tine nation. You
have all the advantages of the metropolises
of New York and Philadelphia, and other
people pay for it. No people in the world
have such advantages of markets.
Here are New York, New Jersey and
Pennsylvania, as big fin area as Great
Britain, with half the population The
child is born to day who will see these
| three states as great in everything as Great
Britain. Your agriculture is undergoing
a great change. Wheat rye and oat crops
must vanish, and in their place will come
fruits and vegetables. As it is now in the
island of Jersey, from which you take
your name, it will be in this state before
many years. There land is worth be-
tween nine hundred dollars and one hund
dred and twenty dollars per acre. As |
said, the child is born who will see it in
New Jersey. congratulate you upon
your widespread prosperity, | congratu-
late you upon being law-abiding orderly,
heightened state. | believe that in respect
and obedience to the law no people stand
higher than Jerseymen. No other state
can enforce criminal law better"

DIR. A. Marden returned from the
great conclave of Knights Templar at
Chicago, last Thursday evening. The
Doctor was about as completely tuck.
cred out as a man could have any de-.
sire for. On the day of the great pro-
cession most of the Sir knights had to
stand for hours under a scorching sun
before the procession commenced to
move, after which they had a weary
march of several miles. DR.. Marden
reports the crowd as being immense,
the number being much larger than
the Chicago people could supply with
accommodations. The California
knights with their brilliant costumes,
varying in price from 100 to 500 dol
lars were particularly admired. They
had with them from California all the
tents, eatables and everything else
which they needed during their stay,
besides they received carload from
their State once every twenty-four
hours, containing all the different kinds
Of fruits, wine, ETC., and to all of those
delicacies the brethren and their fami.
lies from the other portions Of the Un.
ion were treated free Of charge.
