WASHINGTON LETTER.

| FROM our Special Correspondent !
WAsHINGToN, March IA, lSs1.-"Ouiet
reigns in Warsaw" was once said when
the city was crowded with hostile soldiers
and anything else but quiet on the part
of citizen would have met with speedy
punishment That was conquered quiet
and camO on suddenly, but the quiet
which now relgns in Washington is one of
profound peace, and has been growing
more and more observable for the past
nine days. Yesterday
The church bells rung their solemn
peal,
And gathering crowds went forth to
prayer,
And others followed too to steal
a galnce at one they thought Was there.
The little christian Church" almost on
the northern suburbs Of the city has all at
once become immensely popular. An
immense throng of worshlpers wended
their way thither. OF course their devo-
uonal impulse impelled them. 1t is true
Mr.. Garfield worships there, and so he did
when he was simply the gentleman from
Ohio, but reyer heard at that time that
there was any such rush for seats lin the
| synagogue. One who was there told
that His Excellency looked very devout
till the minister SAID something about
Gideon's band only numbering some three
tundred and twenty nine-which occa.
stoned perceptible change in his counte-
nance.
The city is full of intense patriots all
clamorons to be permitted to serve their
country. Dog bite dog is the style that
obtains. The outs all think they ought to
be ms and to accomplish this end they had
as lief see the blacklist Republican remov-
ed as to behold the decsplation of stal-
wart unteIriied.
An extra session seems imminent, and il
is believed that the refunding bill will be
again passed. Mr.. Hayes veto thereof
cost the government 81 500, 600 every
month. This is the sum that the people
pay because fraudulent President has
obeyed the arrogant dictatiun of those
privileged institutions, the National
Banks. AT the very time Mr.. Hayes de-
MED the people Of the United States the
the benefit of a lower rate of interest the
French government placed upon the
market three per cent. loan.-To what
extent, if at oil, Hayes personal resources
were augmented, no one knows excent
the chosen emmissries Of the Banks. If
they got cheap veto f-om Hayes they
will find harder customer to deal with in
Garfield. He has had more experience in
matters Of like import. Az for instance,
l doubt il poor Hayes even yet knows ex-
actly by what mastery feat Of legerde-
main he was made President, but Car
field in an instant could tell one all about
1t. And yet be is thought even by
one of the leading Democratic papers of
OF this place TO DO a wonderfully picc
man aud likely 10 make an ex.
celleDi President. What has become Of
all the charges of fraud, bribery and cor.
ruplion that were made against him du-
ring On e campaign / have never heard
Of one Of them being being successfully
denied. He reminds me Of story that
is sometimes told TO illustrate point
II used 20 be the custom and still is in
some localities 20 bring into the harvest
field an afternoon repast. This has been
done on one occasion, and "a the hands
gathered around, one Of them dipped up a
cup Of milk, but as he did 90 certain
black bug flew into the cup, when he inn
mediaielY threw away the milk The
farmer who was standing by, 1t once
fcolded him for bis wastefulness. saving
that the bug did not iuiure the milk.
The man replied "that may be very true
ard he may be a very nice bug, but /
don't like his occupation 50 10 NAV be

man snd may make a good President but
] don't like his record.
