OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON, d. c., March 10, 1880.
The apparent new zeal of Mr.. Tilden as
Presidential candidate has given use to
much speculation as to its cause. The
general impression is that tho apparent
Grant victory at the Harrisburg Conven-
his back bone. The nomination of Gener-
al Grant undoubtedly would materially
improve the Democratic chances of success;
and not simply because of the dissatisfac-
tion it would create in the republican party,
but because of the harmonizing influence it
would have on the Democratic party and
the terrible weapon which it would place
in their hands. Mr.. Tilden is shrewd
enough to see that the third-term issue
would then supplant all others, and put
his party in new light before the country
His hopes are placed in the scheme of the
Cameron ring to force Grant upon the
Republican party, in spite of the apparent
demand for Blaine by the masses. But it
is just possible that his hopes will not be
realized
So far the friction in running the House
under the new rules has been greater than
any gain through their adoption, but this,
probably, will not continue. AS they be-
come familiar to the members, through
study and the very acute rulings of the
Speaker, business will move on smoothly.
That is, If business is presented for action.
So far there has been unprecedented delay
in reporting the appropriation bills, and an
apparent disinclination on the part of
members in both Houses to go on with
those already reported.
A long debate is threatened over the
Fitz John Porter case. spoke briefly of
the strength of Porter's chances in recent
letter. Its weakness is not in its merits or
demands, but in the fact that some Dem
ocrats as well as Republicans seem dispos-
ed to make party question of 1t, and work
for political advantage, instead of voting

PRESIDENT HAYES in his message to
the Senate upon the inter-oceanic canal
question reaffirms the Monroe doctrine
with great emphasis. If canal is cut
across the American isthmus, 1t must be
under American control. The protec-
tion of the commercial interests of the
United States and the interests Of such
American citizens as may invest their
capital in this enterprise can not be en-
trusted to any foreign power. A canal
across the isthmus will be part of the
ocean highway between the Atlantic
and Pacific States, and would be, as it
were, continuance of our own coast
line, while its relations to tour power
and prosperity as nation, to our means
of defense, and our unity ,peace and safe
ty, are matters of paramount concern to
the people of the United States"
