OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON, ID. C. May Z, 1850.
The committee on ways and means
are still tinkering at the tariff, al
though there is little or no hope Of
any legislation on the subject this
session. 1t appears as though the
committee was laboring solely to ap
pease certain restless spirits among
the great monopolists in the import
ing trade, who are here always en-
deavoring to promote their own in
terests. The democrats on the com
/, mittee, it should be added, are not
10th to crafty them, but they will
find themselves in minority, for
even their own party will not hold
together on that question.
The President surprised both par
ties by his veto of the immediate de,
ficiency bill, containing the prohib;
tion of payment to the United States
Marshals. The Republicans, al
though opposed to it, thought the
President might sign it in order to
shorten the session, and prevent a
disgraceful session. The vote, how.
ever, will have little effec; to extend
it, for one item OF it has already
! been passed in separate bill, that
: providing for the government print
ing office. Other subjects included
in it will be treated ip the same way
except the martial clause, and those
officers will be provided for by pri.
vats means if necessary, trusting tc
afuture Congress to right the wrong
The political news of the week is
Interesting. One hundred and ten
delegates have been elected to the
National Republican Convention.
Wisconsin divided its honors be-
stwssn Washburne, Blaine and Sher-
man, and Tennessee and Mississippi
between Blaine, Sherman and Grant.
In Maryland, Delaware, New Jersey,
and New Hampshire, Mr.. Blaine car.
ried off the honors. The contest is
getting SO exciting that public busi-
mess has to await the movements OF
tho Conventions.
Senator Cameron is much dis
turbed by the bolt in the Pennsyl.
vania Delegation. Several dele.
gates have been here to notify him
that they cannot vote as a unit fer
Grant, but propose to vote for Sena-
tor Blaine, and he has gone home to
ses what can be done in the way of
compromise.
The Senate yesterday passed bill
to relieve Mr.. DeFrees IRON respon.
sibilrty for the loss of money stolen
from the Government Printing office
a little more than q year ago.

SOUTH OF IRELAND TEMPERANCE
LEAGUE.

rouler,nce was held March 10, in the
Assembly rooms, Suih Mail, Cork.
Mr. Rul crJ Scott occupied the chair.
The Chsi man saiI the question Of
temperance bad a. length been
proved by judges aud magistrates
Co he one u! the leading questions
uf the day, aud very important
question: u Was when Il Was cunsid-
cred that Elil,UuU,UOO we're spent
yearly va intoxicating drinks. II
was also a very important question
y hen II was found that in the United
States hot hall as much liquor MAS
consumed a. ia the United Kingdom.
They were forced to look upon the
matter from a legislative point oi
view, and they were also to use their
influence by moral suasion 10 remedy
the evils Of intemperance. The
Sunday Closing Act had conferred a
great benefit ON the community.
The League should support the Sat.
urday Closing Bill as proposed by
Mr.. A. NJ. Sullivan, for it would Ger
tainly be great benefit. With re-
gard to local option, no the chair
man) did not altogether agree with
Sir Wilfrid Lawson. He had more
hope for Mr.. John Bright's proposal
10 place the option in the hands Of
representative body.
Mr.. William Hussey, secretary,
read the report.
The first resolution:-"That the
report as read be now adopted, and
that the following, with the Presi-
dents and Vice. Presidents, be elect.
ed Office. bearers for the Cork Dis
triot for the following year," was
proposed by Mr.. S. N. Newsom, sec.
onded by Mr. George Grubb, and
unanimously adopted.
The second resolution:-"That
this meeting, regarding the univ err
sal depression in trade and agricul-
ture, and the national impoverish-
ment arising therefrom, cannot but
deplore the fact that eight millions
sterling per annum are expended on
intoxicating liquors in Ireland; and
believing that such enormous waste
Of money affects the commercial and
social well being of Ireland, earn
estiy appeals to all classes Of our
fellow-countrymen to CO operate in
efforts to remove that grave source
of poverty and decentralization from
this land, = was proposed by Mr.. H.
White, Waterford, president of the
League, who said they were obliged
to 60 to every nation on the earth to
ask for help to feed their poor peo-
pie, while sum of eight or ten mil
lion was annually expended on USE,
less liquor, which sum would be suf-
ficient to keep all the poor people in
comfortable circumstances. If those
facts were laid before an inhabitant
Of some foreign land what would he
think of the Irish people Every
one should bear the weight Of the
responsibility. The question of in.
,oxicants in hospitals was question
that every one should be enlight
ened on, and he would give some
particulars from report issued last
November by the Temperance Hos
pital in London. Reading the result
after six years. trial, in which alco
holio drink was not administered to
patient except once, he found that
the average deaths was four and a
half per cent, or much less than any
other OF the public hospitals. The
cases Of disease admitted were not
special cases. He would go SO far
as TO say that alcoholic drink was al
together useless, although this opin-

TRANSPORTATION OF SEEDs.-With re-
gard to birds carrying seed from one
island to another, [ have observed on
the Cocos Keeling Island South Indian
Ocean, a species of heron, which nestled
in high tree (species unknown) there,
quite covered with it's oblong hooked
seeds. I was informed by the proprie-
tor of the island that many of these
birds, from their feathers getting so
thickly covered with the seeds, actually
die. l can, therefore, imagine that
many of these seeds might adhere for
even weeks and months, and SO get trans
ported to very distant regions.-H O.
