WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington, D. G. December 2lst, 1880

Last week he Senate disagreed to House
resolution to adjourn over the holidays
from tomorrow, w ednesday, out to-day the
objecting Senators having folded their tents
and stolen away to their homes-after max
ing record against recess-the Senate
concurred, and tor two weeks from to-mor-
row the Senate and House chambers will be
vacant. This adjournment resolution, 10y
the w"y, Is about the only piece of legisla-
ton upon which the Senate ever exactly ag-
reed with the House. 1t amends everything
else, even if only by adding superfuous
word.
The long recess was urged particularly by
Republicans, and from this and other things
it is believed that party desired an extra
session. There are several reasons why such
a session should be desired by the Radical
leaders. The first and most important is
connected with Gsrfeld's well-known liberal
ideas. The leaders are afraid to trust him
unless they are by to watch him. On the
use of troops at the polls, on the subject OF
deputy marshals at elections, on reform in
the civil service, he has given expression to
ideas worthy of Bayard or Thurman, or Nc
Donald but when the actual test of voting
has come, and he has been surrounded by
his party associates of the House. he has in
variaby been buldozed into party subser
viency. So they wish to compel him to call
them together in extra session in March
next, that they may be with him here in the
early days of his administration, for fear that
the good impulses of the man will prevail
For this reason they will undoubtedly make
use upon one or more bills of all the dilatory
tactics known to them, and for this reason
they voted two weeks out of short session
Mr.. Wood hopes to get up his funding
bill to day and pass it through the House
tomorrow. He had an understanding with
the appropriation committee yesterday NOR
ming on the subject.
The four appropriation bills so far passed
in the House are those which almost invar-
iabry pass without debate, or meters
amendment. The army bill, which will bt
reported to day or Tomorrow, the legislative
executive and Judicial, the Sunday civil etc
will not only cause lengthy debate, but af
ford oppOrtur ity for our Republican friends
to put TO use that knowledge parliamentary
tactics which teaches how not to do it. Or
these and the electoral vote resolution, anC
the funding bill l expect the fight for al
extra session will be made.

1t now looks as if John Sherman will
have walk-over for the senatorship, as
Governor Foster has Unexpectedly concud-
ell to withdraw from the contest which was
already waxing warn. This unlocked for
withdrawal of Foster has its significance
While it is probable that Sherman would
haye beaten him, yet had he remainei in
the field the liveliest kind of fight would
have occurred, engendering good deal of
unpleasantness among the bosses and
would have effected more injury than good
10 the party. Now the signs on the politi-
cal oxcnequer plainly points to the selection
of Sherman without serious opposition, and
"Calico Charley" has but to bide his time
and all will be we'll 1t must be gratifying
to the better class of Republicans of Ohio
to know that the most unpleasant factor in
the canvass has been eliminated They are
fortunate in being relieved of the danger of

STOVES ! STOVES!

The stove season this year has
been an early one, and notwith-
standing we have sold double the
number we did last year, we have
still good stock on hand; there
will be good many cold days yet
but our season for buying is over
and in order to close out our stock
we are offering inducements to
cash buyers. We buy all our
stoves for cash (not accepting like
most dealers do, consignments Of
stoves to be paid for when sold)
This gives us an opportunity Of Sc
lecting the best stoves in the mar
ket, and does not oblige us to re-
commend an inferior article. We
carry at all times a good assort-
ment of cook stoves and ranges.
THE HOLIDAY SEASON
is here. and we wish to say few
words to you in regard to articles
we have suitable for holiday
presents; among them is a line of
SILVER PLATED WARE,
consisting of knives and forks. and
spoons of the best manufacture
in the country. This trade has
not been for the last few years a
very satisfactory one, and we have
decided to put down our prices,
and close out our stock. We guar
antee every article just as we rep
resent it; our stock is not large
and we are not buying any
more, but if you come early we
may have just what you want.
We have also an endless variety
of Pen Knives from 10 cents to
$3.50 each, scissors, shears and ra-
zors. We have opened this week,
especially for the holiday trade, a
large assortment of Ladies, Gents
and Children's
SKATES, SKATES,
ROLLINS, HOLMES & SCHUYLER.
