WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington. D. C. May. 25th 1880.

There is no doubt about the duty OF Con-
gress to adjourn on the 3lst but there is very
determined opposition to it. To remain in
session from June End to June 22nd, would
be like making a real estate trade in Ce n
trail America during an earthquake. The
laboring and producing and manufacturing
people of the country will receive doubtful
benefit from tariff legislation completed by
angry politicians who think it their first duty
to nominate or elect President. So would
constitutional methods of counting the Elec-
toral vote. On this latter point Senator
Morgan's joint rule adopted by the Senate
yesterday seems to be all that is necessary
So in all cases. 1t is better for every inter-
est to wait until the exciting Presidential
campaign is over than to push measures
through this summer. By all means, early
adjournment should be had.
Senator David Davis's letter to Hon. o.
II. Browning, President Johnson's Secre-
tary of the Interior, is commented on
strangely enough, as bid for the Demo
cratic nomination. l don't see that in the
letter. The Senator wrote after Grants
nomination was assured, and after he sup
posed determined opposition inside the
Republican party would be made to such a
nomination, and when, perhaps, he thought
there would be equal dissatisfaction at the
Democratic nomination. 1t is third party
letter. 1t is re-statement of the sentiments
which led to the Philadelphia convention OF
1876, with additions to meet the changed
conditions of the times. The venerable SEN
ator will have no votes in the Democratic
convention, and he don't expect any.
twill be safe to give slight credence to
regular telegrsphic reports of the preferen-
ces delegates to Cincinnati have. More con-
tradictions are received here by private tele-
grams than would be thought possible. The
false reports may be sent by conniyance OF
the friends of candidates, or to influence the
Radical convention at Chicago, or for rea-
sons unknown, but it is certain that in ev-
cry convention, from Pennsylvania, two
months ago, to New Jersey, week ago, the
most absurd reports have been sent in the
regular dispatches. As matter of fact, the
first vote OF the Pennsylvanians will proba.
bly, be for Hancock, and if he has no appa.
rent prospect, then the second will show a
decided majority for Tilden. On a second
ballot, also, no matter how the first is
thrown, New Jersey will probably give a
majority for Tilden. speak of these States
as they are represented to me by people who
profess to know and whom | have always
found reliable.

Nlt is well that Grant should be nominated
That great journal, the New York Times,
for once in the lamentable condition of sd.
vocating the wrong side, deems his nomina-
tion a moral certainty. And for our own
part we have been very much inclined to
think that in spite of all the eiphering which
figured him out of the race, the immense
amount of money put up in his behalfwould
make him the Republican candidate.
There are many reasons why be should be
nominated. 1t will put the third term and
Imperialism thoroughly to test. The de-
feat of Grant-which we regard as morally
certain-will put on end to third-termism
for century to come.
Then nominate Grant,
Let him be put up and knock ed down!
The country will breathe more freely af.
ter the interesting performance.-M y, Sun.
Galusha A. Grow is coming to the front

Hampton and sherman.

Secretary Sherman has
published a series of four letters
that passed between himself and
Wade Hampton. Sherman
takes the ground that Hampton
owes his seat in the senate to
the kluklux Of the south and
that if the republicans had full
free and unrestricted power to
vote as they please there would
to-day be no solid south. Hamp-
ton denies the charge and ac-
cuscs Sherman Of uttering what
he knew to be absolutely false.
Secretary Sherman knows as
well as any mae in the north
that since the departure of car
pet bag rule from the southern
states that peace, quiet and
prosperity, have reigned su-
preme. In South Carolina and
Georgia where the colored pop
ulation is larger than in any
other states in the union, more
colored children are attending
school in those states than ever
before, and in Georgia the col
ored people have made rapid
progress in the acquisition of
wealth. The colored people are
free to vote as they please and
because they do not please t9l
vote the republican ticket John
Sherman and other republican
leaders in the north cry ku-
klux. The fact that the south
is solidly democratic is what
does not please them and they
are willing to do anything to
bring about disturbance.
Nothing would suit these lead
ers so well as a re-establishing
of the southern outage mill,
with negroes burned and whip
ped for voting the democratic
ticket. The recent republican
outrage on a democratic parade
in Wilmington, Del, looks as if
it had been instigated by some
emissaries from republican head
quarters for the purpose of TO-
menting a grand disturbance
that can be used for party pur-
poses.

Jones and til. Republicans.

In the Brentwood Brown
county Banner of October 10Th
we find the following. When
Jones was here and in the lower
counties he was very sweet to
the republicans. Now that he
is in portion of the district
where the republicans are few
and far between he panders to
the greenbackers. The extract
explains itself:
In his speech here Shepard
read the letter of Gov. Davis
and from the proceedings of
the convention at Austin to
show that as republicans they
endorsed Col. Jones because he
had voted with the republicans
in congress upon the bayonet
and deputy marshals bills, the
silver-bill and the contested
election case from Florida of
Hull VS.. Bisbee; and he charg-
ed that Col. Jones was more of
republican than anything else,
and was being supported by
their leaders on this ground.
In his reply Col. Jones charged
that Shepard was supported by
Judge McAdoo of Washington
county, and that McAdoo was
one of the judges who had made
himself forever Infamous by con-
curing in the Rodriguez case
decision, which sought to steal
the rights of election from the
people. He said that because
McAdoo supported Shepard
the democracy of his coun-
ty endorsed McAdoo. He
said that he opposed Nc
Adoo's appointment as U. S.
district attorney because of this
decision and procured from
president Hayes the appoint
ment of Homan in his stead. In
his rejoinder Shepard said that
he desired republican votes, but
that those who voted for him
knew that he was a democrat,
and that he had made no sacfi-
fees to them, that they must
vote for him as a man. He said
that judge McAdoo would vote
for him, but that he was not en-
dorsed by the democracy of his
county on that account; that
judgeMcAdoo had been county
judge for two years; that he
had helped the county court ex-
tricate the county from debt for
the first time since reconstruc-
ton days, and that as he had
not made a political race, the
democracy of Washington coun-
to, ignoring the question of pol
itics in the administration Of this
judicial Office, had failed to
nominate candidate for coun-
ty Judge, and had endorsed the
honesty and efficiency of judge
McAdoo's administration of
that Office.

The Hampton-Sherman cor
respodence amounts to about
this: Sherman has succeeded
in making Hampton lose his
temper and he now publishes
the entire correspondence as a
campaign document for con-
sumption in the northern states.
While everybody in the south
will believe Hampton, a very
large proportion of the people
in the north believe Sherman
and the correspondence will ac-
eomplisb just what Sherman in
tended 70 accomplish by it
make the northern people be-
lieve that the war is not over
yet.
