NEWS FROM WASHINGTON.

1t is understood Gen. Garfield will send the
nominations for his cabinet to the senate next
Monday. ~
Congressman Murch of Maine has resigned
his position as chairman of the Greenback COM
mittee, to take effect March Is.
The president has issued proclamation
convening the senate in special session at noon
on March 4. Some surprise is manifested at
this action. 1t seems, Lowever, that it was TAX
en- after consultation with Gen. Garfield.
Gen. Grant says he will not be in Washing
ton on Inauguration day. He had very cordial
letter from President Hayes asking him to dine
at the White House on March with the cabi-
net to meet Gen. and Mrs Garfield. He will
be glad to unite in any courtesy to the president
but sends his regrets.
On Thursday Secretary Sherman sent in his
resignation to the President as secretary of the
treasury, and subsequently took leave Of the
officers aud employees of the treasury depart
ment. Mr.. Sherman was very much affected,
and his concluding remarks were broken and at
times almost inaudible. Many officers with
whom Sherman has been intimately associated
were deeply affected.

THE order from the war department that
military post traders shall not sell intoxi-
eating liquors to officers, soldiers or civilians
creates "a great deal of unavailing sorrow
among this class of attaches of the military
machine. 1t remains to be seen whether
the sale of liquor under proper regulations
is more demoralizing than when it is OBJ
tanned by officers and men. as 1t surely will
be, through other agencies. The expert
ment will be tried ANYWAY

The late Senator Carpenter had not a
single enemy in the senate. and there is not
on senator who was not entirely friendly.
In his sharpest contests he never betrayed
the least personal feeling against any of his
associates, and this is said to be the secret
of their high personal regard. The keen
personal encounter year ago with Senator
Blaine left no sting with either. and the two
were upon excellent terms right upon the
heels of their hottest talk

MISSOURI has just emerged from an ex-
citing contest over a proposition. strongly
supported to transfer the seat of the state
government from Jefferson City to Sedalia.
The decisive battle was fought in the house
of representatives the other day, and the
vote for its retention at Jefferson City was
Il to - in favor of Sedalia. The Jeffer-
sonians were greatly elated at the result, as
it gave their town new lease of life, but
the vote was close enough to inspire fears
for the future

ANOTHER HOSPITAL HORROR.
The Insane Asylum at Dlnville. Pennsylvania.
Burned--400 or 500 Helpless Patients

On Saturday evening, between s and 9 clock,
flames were seen to issue from the insane asy-
lum about two miles north of Danville, Pa An
alarm was quickly sounded, and a strenuous
effort made to rescue the inmates, of whom
there were 400 or 500. The fire spread with
frightful rapidity, enveloping the entire build
ing in flames in a very short time. Fire COM
panies were at once started to the scene, but on
their arrival were of little avail, owing to
the scarcity of water The escaping inmates
scattered wildly in every direction and ran
screaming across the country through the snow.
Owing to the excitement, it was impossible to
obtain any information as to the number Of
lives lost and the amount of loss on property.
The building is 100 feet long, and cost
81 900, 900 in its construction. 1t is under
the superintendency of DR.. s. s. Schultz. The
fire is supposed to have originated by an ex
plosion of gas in one of the rooms, ignited by
an inmate entering with q light

THE bill apportioning members of con-
gress among the several states, which
passed the house, was not reached by the
senate, and is, of course, a nullity. The
bills districting Minnesota for congressman
also failed of passage in the state legisla-

til the fall of 1882, and. therefore. the mat

The Effect of Bad Harvesting and of Amer
lean neutrality-suspicious. of the Future.
From the London Economist.
It may be from fear of America, it may
be from the long continuance of unproft-
able harvests, it may be from the rise in the
expenditures, especially upon labor, or it
may even be from increased intelligence, but
there is hopelessness about farmers COM
plants which experienced men, familiar
with their ways, never remember before.
They hardly look for any improvement.
They do not speak of the bad times as ex-
ceptional They do not, among each other
talk of prices as sure to improve. Above
all, they throw up their farms on apparent
ly light provocation. Experienced land
agents notice total difference of tone, an
indisposition to haggle,a "a sort of determina-
ton to make none but low offers, and to
stick to them. The tenants, as they say,
seem not to want the farms, and make offers
too low to be entertained, in kind of spite
full sport. Very often no offers at all can
be obtained, and the land is either
thrown upon the landlords hands or
goes out of cultivation. The latter occur
renee was formerly most unusual in Great
Britain and seems almost impossible but
there is no reason to doubt the south and
statements made that in every county in
the south and east large numbers of farms
formerly yielding good rents are lying idle,
the landlords being unwilling to let at low
rents to men who ask long leases, and un-
willing to cultivate for themselves or able
to bear temporary loss. We know in our
own experience of district in which eleven
farms, poorish to fair as to soil, are deserted
and untitled, and have read advertisements
of quite extraordinary character in the way
of temptation to tenants. Of farms in the
landlords hands, and of farms broken into
two or three, there is no end, while land in
modest patches has sunk in value in de-
gree which suggests in kind of dread
among tenants as well as land buyers.
There is a feeling of hopelessness, in fact
abroad among farmers of the better class,
and of relucrance to remain in the business,
which of itself may produce important
affects, willingness to farm having been an
important element in the trade. It differed
from all others in it's attraction for a class
those who perferred country life and
were content not only with modest profits,
but with almost an entire absence of those
chances which in many walks of life are so
attractive. Now that willingness has dis

LAST week we had a brief item
about the Pilot schooner Champion
getting ashore at Neah Bay. Since
then we have learned the following
particulars: The schooner had been
anchored near the shore Of Wa-ad-
dab Island, and. in attempting to get
under way, the jib filled on the
wrong tack and the vessel drftsd
ashore. The wind was blowing on
shore, and afterwards increased to a
gale. This, and the extreme high
tide, carried he high up on the
beach. II. NJ. S. Gunboat Rocket,
Of Esquimalt, happened along, and
Capt. McAlmond sought her assist
ance, Captain Olivar Of the Rocket
kindly proceeded to the assistance
of the stranded vessel and finally re.
moved her from he perilous position,
although he had to remain from Sat.
urday evening till Monday morning
to do so. The officers of the Rocket
are spoken OF in terms Of highest
praise for their meritorious service
in this case. We understand that
the injuries to the Champion are not
serious.
