OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON, ID. G.
.Iuly 30 1881

There is already talk about office
even among steady going politicians.
The President is much better and
his recovery seems almost certain.
But the long restrained anxiety to see
offices filled begins to reassert itself
among our republican brethren. The
party has been in power so long, and
is so much machine to be kept 60
ing by the judicious distribution of
public patronage that its managers
are discontinued unless they see pro-
gress in the great work of bestowing
offices. Very numerous changes, it
is said, were to be made during the
Presidents absence from Washing
ton this month. This, of course, was
not carried out. The demand for
them now wakes strong. Several in
teresting points will arise in the cleo
ton of a successor to Mr.. Burch, sec
rotary Of the Senate, who died here
this week. For instance-will the
Senate elect a successor before the
New York Senators are sworn in. II
they attempt this, will the republicans
refuse to vote, and make dead lock
If the New York Senators are first
sworn in will the republicans adhere
to their caucus candidates? Among

Prayer for Editor.

We offer the following prayer for
the benefit Of our subscribers who
won't pay up. Some of you have
"planked down" all right, but the
one who can and won't may imagine
us down on ohrlknees praying thusly:
May he never be permitted to kiss
handsome woman.
May 240 Nightmares trot quarter
races over his stomach every night.
May his coffee be sweetened with
flies and his sauce with caperpillars.
May his gun hang fire, his boots
leak and his fish line break.
May his best friend run away with
his wife, and his children all take
the whooping cough.
May the famine stricken ghost Of
an editors baby haunt his slumber
and hiss murder in his ears.
May his cattle have wolves in 'em,
his mules have the blind staggers
and the pigs destroy his garden.
May troupe of printers devils,
lean, lank and hungry, dog his heels
each day, and regiment of internal
cats caterwaul under his window
each night.
May his COW give dry milk and
his churn rancid butter; and in con
clusion, good Lord! may his dangh-
ter marry q one-eyed, hunch-back
editor, his business go to ruin and

the Democrats already named for the
place is Gen. 5. j. Anderson, of
Maine, a neighbor and close friend of
the late Justice Nathan Clifford.
Gen. Anderson is the head of the
party in Maine, and said to be adj
mirably fitted for the Secretaryship.
All that can be said of the proba-
BILE successor of Justice Clifford is
that he will be republican. The
idea that Democrat might be APP
pointed finds less favor among re-
publicans than was expected. Gen.
Edwards is the man last named for
the place.
The rumor is received that ex-Sec-
rotary Schurz is to be made Minister
to Germany in place of White, re-
signed. There is probably no truth
in it. The ex-Secretary has not a
single friend in the Cabinet. The
President would not make an impor-
tant appointment obnoxious to all
his advisors, even if he wished ever
so much to favor some friends, and
there is no reason to believe he espe-
cially longs for an opportunity to
crafty Schurz.
An official report just published
shows our exports of merchandise for
the last fiscal year to have been over
nine hundred millions of dollars, be-
ing more than in any previous year.
The imports were more than six hun
dred and forty millions of dollars, be-
ing more than in any other year, ex-
cept 1880.
If any Of your readers were depos-
itors in the Freedmens' Savings and
Trust Company, which failed in 1873,
they should apply at once for divi-
dends which have been declared. If
this is not done by the 2lst of next
month the claims will be barred.
Though the deposits were mostly
from Southern States, some were from
other sections. CARROLL.

SNIDER'S TEMPLE.
BY MRS. Z. n. SNYDER.

We love thee, old house, we love thee,
O, yes, we love thee evermore
For thou was dedicated TO our God,
Full many year ago.
We love thee still, old house,
We love thee more and more;
For those who helped to build thee,
Have passed to the other shore.
We oft have seen them round thy altar,
Weeping with those that wept,
And pleading with the God of love
To send their blessings from above.
Seen many round thy altar crowd,
Seeking for the better way,
When by faith Il ey claimed the promise
God turned their darkness into day.
O, yes, within thy dear old walls,
We oft have felt the spirits power,
And knew that God was ever near
To tighten all our sorrow.
We love thee still, old house,
We love thee more and more.
For many that worshipped here within
Have passed to the other shore.

Honorcd and Blest.

When board of eminent physicians
and chemists announced the discovery
that by combining some well known
valuable remedies, the most wonderful
medicine was produced, which would
cure such large range of diseases that
most all other remedies could be dis
pensed with, many were skeptical; but
proof of its merits by actual trial has
dispelled all doubt and to-day the dis
coverers of that great medicine, Hop
Bitters, are honored and blessed by all
as benefactOrs. -DemOcrdt.

Judge Clifford, who died Monday
of last week, was a native of New
Hampshire, and would have been
seventy-eight years of age this
month. He wss appointed Justice
Of the Supreme Court by Franklin
Pierce, January II, 1857. Roger B.
fancy was Chief Justice, and there
is in this paragraph, from sketch
of Judge Clifford, a striking chapter
of history: "Bis associates were
John Mclean, of Ohio, and James
Wayne, of Georgia, who had been
appointed by Andrew jackson; John
Catron, Of Tennessee, whose commits
sion dated back to 1887, and who, al
though born in 177S, kept his place
until his death in 1865; Peter V.
Daniel, of Virginia, Samuel Nelson,
of New York. Robert c. Grier, of
Pennsylvania, and John A. Camp
bell, of Alabama. With the excep-
tion Of Mr.. Campbell, the Chief JUS
tice and all the Associate Justices
of that day died years ago. Nor is
there to-day in the service a single
Circuit Judge who was ON the bench
in 1857, and only three or four of the
over fifty Judges of the United States
District Courts holding commissions
signed, like Cliford's, by Franklin
Pierce

President Garfeld's condition has
so much improved that the daily bull
letins from the White House no
longer furnish exciting reading. He
is now able to be raised in the bed
and to take abundant nourishment
without inconvenience; The wound
is doing well, and the evening fever
has become almost insignificant.
Those about the President now enter
tain the hope that before the end OF
the month it may be possible to move
him to more healthful atmosphere
than that of Washington.

liarly essential, and none can be bet
ter aware of this fact than the Dem
ocratic leaders themselves. They
cannot fail to see that this is time
when they should sink all their ami
mosities, and by presenting a solid
and determined front, take prompt
advantage of the plumbers and mis-
fortunes, the disgraceful quarrels and
bitter rivalrics of the Republican
party.

Mr.. c. X. Lord, the General Pas
senger agent of the B. q o. r. r.
had conference with the agents of
several other roads last week with a
view of fixing the rates to Yorktown
in October. The arrangements were
not completed, but we will say that
round trip rates will be given by the
B. O. O. at moderate figures. Look
for their announcement in a few
weeks.

WASHINGTON, July 30.-The York

Importance has been to construct a
