WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON. NAV 4. 18;

WASHINGTON, May 4, 1880.
The views of two well-informed Democrats on
the subject of "early adjournment are pub
lshed this morning. Senator Vest gives June
1st as the probable day, and Representative
Blackburn July 18th.
The National Blaine Bureau claims between
ninety and one hundred of the Chicago delegates
to be chosen this week for their favorite The
friends of Mr.. Blaine here make no concealment
of their belief that Grant, if nominated, will be
beaten.
Up to this writing no veto of the immediate
deficiency bill has been sent to the House by Mr.
Hayes, but it was stated on Saturday night that
the paper was already signed. Mr.. Hayes was
represented as favoring division of the special
deputies between the political parties, but as
being dissatisfied with the means by which the
bill proposed to bring about the division In
short, he has the same view Of the subject as
Ensign Stebbins had Of the Marine law.
The first elaborate bill of the session for the
encouragement of American commerce was in
troduced by Senator Williams, of Kentucky,
yesterday. 1t proposes liberal payment for the
carrying of ocean mails, and to pay $4,000 per
year to American ship owners for each iron or
steel screw steamship of 1900 tons, built and
owned in the United States. A bill for substan-
tally the same purposes will soon be reported
from the Heuse Committee on Postal Affairs, but
neither of them will probably receive final action
at this session.
Representative Ellis, of louisiana presents q
bill directing the Postmaster General to purchase
or construct telegraph line between Boston and
other Eastern cities and Washington, to be used
by the people, under government direction, as an
experiment, at low rates for transmission Of mes
sages, money, &c.
Senator Hamlin did not get through the Senate
yesterday his bill on the subject of claims of our
citizens against Nicaragua. The bill is designed
to put energy into the administration in its work
of negotiating a treaty with Nicaragua But
there is no objection to the bill, and it will pass
whenever called up again.
The Commerce Committees eight millions for
river and harbor Improvements will probably
swell 10 ten millions in the House. In the prac-
tical action on this bill the proposed plan to allow
the Executive to veto parts of measure would
work well For the two or three millions gen.
orally appropriated tor purposes Of public utility
there is at least twice as much wasted.

The counties are requested to select their dele
gates at the same time and place and in the same
manner they select delegates to the State Con-
ventiOn.
In orderthat the Convention may act wisely and
conform TO the win of the people, it is necessary
that their wishes be well aseertained This can
only be done through their representatives. 1t
therefore becomes all important that all the
counties be fully represented. In order to secure
this desirable end the County Executive Com
mittees of the several counties are respectfully
urged to spare no reasonable labor and pains to
secure q fair and able representation Of their re-
spective counties. Let US enter upon this impor-
tant and vital work with q zeal and energyspfo-
portionate to the result desired, ever displaying
that spirit of harmony and patriotism that should
at all times characterize those laboring together
for the public veal and for the prosperity, honor
aad glory of the commonwealth.

PARIS, FRANCE, April 21, 1880.
At meeting of the Paris students, held on
Friday evening in the Sale d. Arras, the follow
ing resolution was adopted by large majority ::
The Students, assembled at the Sale d. Arras

as a remedy to the clerical question, the separa-
ton of Church and State, liberty of association,
and the suppression of the grant tor public wor-
ship
The ultra Radical papers are clamoring for the
release of Berezowski, the Pole, who, in 1867,
was sentenced to penal servitude for life for at
tempting to shoot tae Emperor of Russia in the
Bois de Boulogne The Mot d Ondre contains a
stirring appeal in his favor, and bases its claims
on the dispatch sent by the Government of Ma
tlonal Defence in September, 1870, to the Gov
ernor of New Caledonia, informing him of the
general amnesty Of AL Political prisoners and in
structing him to set at liberty all convcts suffer
ing punishment for offences of political nature.
This order, the Mot d. Ordrs declares, was espe-
ciaIly intended for the release Of Berezowski, as
the colony had at that time no other prisoner to
whom II could apply. Hishardly to be expected
that, Just as the Hartmann incident is blowing
over, the French government win gratuitously
give offence TO Russia by releasing this criminal

titled to representation as follows

And it is understood that the people in Con-
vcntion will have the right to change the ratio
of representation should they see proper.
The counties will select their delegates either
in convention or general mass meeting, as may
be considered best by the people, acting through
the usual party organization And it is recon-
mended that the citizens assemble at their Court
Houses in the several counties for this purpose
on Saturday, May %. But should they fail so to
assemble on that day, that they meet as early as
practicable thereafter.
We call upon all Conservative citizens of the
State, without regard TO past political differences
and associations who are opposed to the third
term movement, to all unconstitutional and revo-
lutionary modes Of inaugurating defeated candi-
dates, to the base frauds whereby the vote of
Florida was reversed in the last electoral canvass
and the country was robbed of the legally elected
President, and upon an who are in favor of a
free ballot and an honest count of the votes at
all elections, and OF pure, economical and con-
stitutional, National well State, government,
TO unite in sending delegates TO this Convention.

Congressman for the frst few years Of his ser
vice One of the troubles with our Southern
members is that they arenot keptif long enough.
II new member discharges his duty IN the
committee for the first time, be is sure OF better
place In the second, and has by that time, BE-
como familiar with the rules, so thar he can make
himself felt on the floor In shaping legislation.
Besides he has acquired that knowl ledge Of rou-
tine in the departments that enables him TO se-
cure q proper share Of government patronage ior
his District. The Northern and Middle States
have always had the hons share Of this because
they keep their members here term after term,
whilst we change ours every two or four years
Some of the Southern districts are learning bet
ter, and there are few Southern members who
have been here eight or ten years. Our people
can do no better thing than 10 re-neminate and
re-elect Colonel Davidson, for he hiss proven him
self well fitted TO represent them.
Senator Jones is now looked upon as one Of
the clearest headed men in the Senate. His views
carry weight whenever he chooses TO express
them.
Senator Call for a new member stands high.
1t is almost conceded by even the most
saDguine Republicans, that the Democrats will
elect the next President, should they make ju-
dicious selection at Cincinnati, and II win be .
matter Of great moment TO Florida, when the
Democrat is inaugurated, to have men Of expert

An unusually serious carriage eaccident occurred
yesterday afternoon On the Boulevard Picpus. A
csb was driving quietly along when suddenly
the horse bolted. The csachman, jumping fbom
the box, fractured his arm and sustained severe
injuries; while the gentleman inside, H. Des-
pernis, in following his example rolled under the
wheels and was picked up dead. The horse, con-
tinuing its wild career, smashed the vehicle to
atoms against tram-car. Both the horses Of the
Car were injured. Finally the cab horse fell

WASHINGTON LETTER.

Special Correspondence Of the Floridianl
WASHINGTON, D. c., April 90, 1880.
To-day has been an ugly rainy time, such as
we sometimes have in Florida in the fall of the
year, but rarely even then. The city is as gloomy
as an old cathedral or pine forest when the
winds are signing through the trees dampened
by drizzling rain. 1t gives one the blues.
Congress Is doing up its work with commen-
dable spirit The appropriation bills are being
pissed rapidly, though the Radicals throw all
possible distractions in the way. But work as
they may you need not look for adjournment
until after the meeting of the Cincinnati Con-
vention and even then the calendar will not be
be cleaned. There are hundreds of pension
bills, some of which have been acted on and
some are still in the committee rooms. The Pen
sion Committee has four clerks and they hardly
suffice to do its business. The soldiers and sail
ors Of the late war are the best pensioned people
IN the world, and like Oliver Twist, they still
ask for more" l am not o Bundle" to be
horror struck at such request, but think it is
about time to call halt on this pension business.
Our Southern members do net like 10 take the
lead in doing this, because the cry weuld be made
at once :" that the Southern Brigadiers refuse to
pension the Union soldiers" The Republicans
take advantage of this and are continually fore
ing pensioners up
little. As usual Blaine put his mouth in and
stuck his foot in it, by declaring that Butler and
Kellogg were seated upon IN agreement and ap-
pealing to the Congressional Record to prove his
assertion. But the Record would not prove it,
The case win not be disposed Of for some time.
When it comes to Q vote the Republican Sena-
tors will to man vote to sustain Kellogg this
creature of fraud and force in his seat but fortu-
nately the day Of their power to perpetuate such
wrongs has passed away and Kellogg. like the
Chinese, must 60"

no difference as every enc knows that Hull was

The truly loyal Grant man, says the Boston
Herald, has at last been discovered in the person
Of Mr.. o. n. Wilson, prominent lawyer Of In
dianapolis. This gentleman, at a congressional
committee hearing at Washington last week,
found occasion TO interject into his remarks the
following section from his articles OF political
faith: II am for the ex President for King, or,
for that matter, / am for his son Fred TO follow,
50 long ms there b amy danger Of the Democracy

efficiency Of our institutions, and conAdence In
the power 9or good Of the strong man, which
would delight even 1Er. Carlyle. II Is fortunate
that Mr.. Wilson speaks only for himself and
that his opinions, In this respect meet with very
little favor Outside Of hin OWn head but Mr..

was then taken to his room where were found
of the above firms goods the following articles:
IL pocket knives; l razor; cork screw; 2
tooth brushes; / pocket comb; bottles OF
perfumery; also large lot of postal cards
