Washington Letter.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Mch. 18th, Is

! WASHINGTON, d. c., Mch. 18th, 1881.
The Republicans now have the Presi
dency, and will have control Of both
Senate and House. The Senate goes
to them by the vote Of Senator Malone
of Virginia. Not being informed
think no one yet is-of the price which
is to be paid by Republicans for Senator
Mahone's vote in organizing the Sen
ate, | am not able to say whether OF
not his action will precipitate an extra
session, series Of Congressional inveS-
tigations in the South, and a return to
the bayonet policy Of Grant. But |
cannot help fearing that, unless PreSi-
dent Garfield shall very firmly stand by
the principles enunciated in his inaugu-
raj, we shall have a re-Opening of the
Southern question, and a condition Of
things in politics as discreditable and
dangerous as any that occurred be-
tween 1865 and 1876. There is good
reason for believing, however, that
Garfield meant all that he said on that
subject, and, meaning it all, will not
be driven or seduced from the path of
duty.
The House will, beyond doubt, be
Republican in its organization. No
one questions that now. 1t is not
thought, though, that any extra session
will be called.
The President in renOminating STAN
ley Mathews for a place on the Supreme
Court Bench, was doubtless influenced
greatly by the fact that the same nomi-
nation had been made by his predeces-
sor and not acted on by the Senate. To
nominate another person for the place,
under the circumstances, was something
not to be expected Of SO good natured a
man as President Garfield, though he
might have preferred some one else
than Stanley Mathews. There is no
doubt of confirmation.
The number Of Office seekers here
seems to be little diminished, but the
President has early learned to be spar
ing of his time in granting interviews
to these insatiate people. No man
could long stand the physical pressure
of interminable interviews like these,
and, in the nature of things, it is i'm
possible to make even reasonable judi
cious decisions in innumerable cases
thus brought for an instant before one.

Notes and Comments.

Another severe snow storm prevailed
in the North West on Saturday.-A.
G.. Smith, receiver of materials for the
Government works at Musstl Shoals, in
Alabama, was robbed On Friday Of
$500, while on his way to bank.-A
fire in Wakefield, Mass, on Saturday,
destroyed 100000 worth of property.
Hon. Richard j. Bowie, Chief
Judge of the sixth judicial circuit of
MARYLAND, died at his home in Rock
vile, on Saturday night.-The Su-
preme Court of the United States, after
rendering a few decisions, on Monday,
took a recess until Monday next, on
account Of the illness Of Justice Brad
ley, whose presence is now necessary to
max a quorum. Justice Miller, also, is
indisposed. The President has NOM
mated Henry G. Pearson to be Post
master of New York. THE ninety
fourth session of the Philadelphia Con-
| ference OF the Methodist Episcopal
Church was opened on Wednesday in
Pottsville. Bishop Harris presided,
and Rev. J. S. J. Mcconnell was re-
elected Secretary.--Another bank
cashier has turned up with a short ac-
count of 100000. His name is Albee
and he was cashier Of savings bank at
Winchester, n. H.-''A family of
four persons, z says an Associated Press
dispatch, twas made violently sick in

pork, trout and apple sauce" That
mess was enough to make family not
only "sick in st. Louis,' but sick all
over.

ALEXANDER III.-The new En-.
peror of Russia, Alexander Alexandra.
witch, has proclaimed his accession
under the official title of Alexander
Third. The Emperor may congratulate
himself upon the fact that Alexander
the Great, of Macedon and Asia, was
also officially Alexander the Third. The
name, however, is not an auspicious one
in the family IF the ROmanoffs. Alex
ander the First (Paulovitch) came to
the throne in 1901 in consequence of
the assassination Of his father, and
Alexander II, (Nicholacovitch,) it has
been often repeated, acceded when he
did in consequence of his predecessors IS
suicide. The Emperor, who has pro-
claimed himself and his heir apparent
at the same time, was thirty-siX years
old last Thursday, and is understood to
have both will and a policy of his
own. He became heir to the throne in
1865, upon the death Of his elder
brother, Nicholas Alexandrovitch,
whose betrothed, the Princess Dagmar
of Denmark, he made his bride. The
proclamation of accession does not in
dicate anything as to the policy of the
new regime, though it breathes spirit
Of deadly resentment against the
assassins of his father.

THERE WAS an unusually lively de-
bate in the U. S. Senate on Monday.
The discussion arose in regard to the
reorganization of the Senate commit
tees. Senator Pendleton, chairman Of
the Democratic caucus, having called
up the resolutions laid over from Fri
day, made some general allusions to the
consummation of bargain by which
it was understood that the Republi-
cans were expected to secure great ad-
vantages. Hill, Of Georgia, followed
with some remarks that seemed to
strike the new Senator from Virginia
in tender spot. He (Hill) wanted to
know why it was asserted that the Re-
publicans would control a constitution
al majority of the Senate when thirty
eight of the Senators had been sent
there as Democrats. eff you have but
one, z he continued, ''the vote will be
SO to 38. Who is that one ? Who is
ambitious to do what no man i'll the
history Of this country has ever done
to stand up in this high presence and
proclaim from this proud eminence that
he disgraces the commission he holds.
Who is it ? Who can it be? Do you
addressing the Republicans) receive
him with affection? Do you receive
him with respect? +? Is such man
worthy of your association Such man
is not worthy to be a Democrat. Is he
worthy to be a Republican ?" This
brought Malone, who was seated
among the Republicans, to his feet,
and a hot and personal discussion be-
tween the two fiery Senators followed,
in which Malone lost his temper and
was decidedly worsted.

GAME IN DELAwARE.-The Della
ware Game Protective Association has
contracted for 1900 birds, to be let
loose in this State this season. Owing
to the severe weather Mr.. Churchman,
the secretary, has had them delayed,
and it is now. doubtful whether this
number can be obtained. Among the
birds that are expected is a shipment of
prairie chickens from Chicago. These
fowls are contracted for at 50 a dozen.
The work of the association has been
satisfactory. There are now 400 mem
bers. Two years ago, when organized,
800 birds were bought and distributed,
500 of them being Missouri quail. In
preparing for this season S propagation,
800 quail were bought, and in last De-
cember let loose. The storm, however,
which came directly after, killed the
most of these and interfered somewhat
with the plans. Morning Ne'cs.

SUICIDE OF AN ARMY OFFICER.
Brevet Major General Emory Upton,
U. S. A., was found dead in his bed at
Preside, near San Francisco, Tuesday
morning, he having committed suicide.
A revolver was grasped in his hand,
and bullet wound extended through
his mouth to his brain. He had been
dead for several hours. 1t seemed, from
the appearance of his room, that he had
sat up late the night before, writing
and destroying manuscripts, and burn
ing many of his papers. He left two
letters, one to his sister, intimating
that something might happen . the
other to Captain Dyer, expressing the
opinion that his 'ERevised Tactics y
would be a failure. While some at
tribute General Upton's suicide to grief
at the recent death of his wife, the
general opinion among army officers at
the post is that it was caused by fear
that he would lose reputation by the
failure of his work on Tactics.
