OR Washington Letter.
WASHINGTON, May l6, 1881.

Political events here for the past
week need only brief descriptions
All efforts to secure harmony in the
republican party have signally fail.
ed. By reason OF Presidential bull
dozlng on a dislike to Conkln, the
republicans seem determined to
take up the case of Robertson and
dispose of 1t. They will do SO this
week and then adjourn. Stanley
Mathews was, regret to say, con
frmed as justice of the supreme
court by democratic votes. He had
a majority Of one only in u vote OF
45. 1t has been SAID lately that
two or three democratic senators
would vote to confirm Chandler as
sOlicIlor general. l have been un-
able 10 learn their names and don't
believe the story. Business in the
senate has driited entirely away
from the object which produced the
early +" deadlock " aud only sena.
tor Dawes and few other republi-
cans are supposed TO care about the
fate in store for Goreham and Rid
dleburger. Doubtless one more ef-
fort will be made 10 pass the reso-
luton making them officers Of the
senate, hut 1t is foredoomed to fail
urc. The subject will go over ull
December, and then if Malone re-
gains his senses meantime, the pres
ent senate officers will remain Ia
position. II not, republicans will
be elected probably, but not Gore
ham or Riddleburger. 1t is the un-
versal opinion Of people here that
Malone has not only ruined him
self politically, but has unintention
ally damaged the republican party
very much. There is apparent
disposition to speak dlsparagingly
of senator Hill OF Georgia, but |
am sure that his management Of
the Malone affair was exactly what
the circumstances demanded, and
will have capital effect upon rtli-
tics north and south.
There has been much anxiety
during the last few days concern
ing the health of Mrs. Garfield. She
is now belieyed to be out of danger.
Physicians say the White House is
unfit for the purposes Of resi-
deuce, and there is little doubt that
the serious illnes5 there of lady so
universally esteemed as Mrs. Gar
field will result in the direction of
a more heullby locality, and with a
mediam ressI d to sanitary precaa-
tons of Il new residence for the
President. The mails are loaded
with acceptatioDs of secretary
Windham's offer TO extend five per
cent. bonds at three aad One.half
per cent. These cxtentions are
of course "st the pleasure of the
government and the bonds will
doubtless be replaced by three pee
cents soon after the next meeting
of congress. MEMO.

~ We give space for cOmmunica-
ton regarding the conrt house failure,
although there seems little use in keep
ing up further discussion. The MAORI
ty of the people of the county are
opposed to new court house, and some
OF them, espe cially lin Nergennes and
Bristol, not wholly because of any diff
Guilty in their pockets. 1t only remains
to hope that public spirit will so far
improve in the future that majority of
the voters of the county will be ashamed
Of the county building and willing TO
tax themselves for decent structure.
As for the demagogusm of the leader
in the opposition to the new court house,
we think there is 10 occasion for max
ing threats. His conduct received the
full approval Of his constituents.
While he showed in respect to This aud
other measures the art, Of a petty poll
ician seeking tho applause OF those
who elected him. rather than the views
of broad-minded citizen seeking 70
lead his constituents so correct views,
il must be remembered that he reflect
cd The sentiments Of the great majority
in regard TO the matter and the MAORI +
should submit gracefully to the result.

SUICIDE AT BRATTLEBoRo.- &.
Edwards of Brattleboro, for more than
a score of years local stationer and
book-binder, committed suicide in his
store Friday by hanging. He was
about sixty years old, of quiet and
unassuming nature. He was last seen
about 1880 o'clock a. M, looking over
his books, and in good spirits. When
found his sleeves were rolled up and
everything about the bench, at which
he was at work indicated that the act
had not been long contemplated, though
bank draft had been paid, before it
was due, on the opening of the bank in
the morning, while his life insurance
renewal was conspicaously pinnedto his
shop bench. No cause is assigned for
the deed.

With his usual laundering inaccuracy
your Ripion correspondent gave your
readers u very incorrect account of the
burning of my buildings on the End. Ii
was not caused by the smoking OF a
small boy, for none Of my boys smoke
and none others were around. In place
of ten tons OF hay $50 bushels of oats
and forty OF wheat rs he asserts, had
twenty tons Of hay, 1GS bushels of oats,
twenty-seven Of wheat and forty-fve OF
India wheat destroyed. If my horse
was of small value as your veraciou-
correspondent AYERS, he suited me very
well, was an excellent work horse and
WAS bought only four years since for

The Court House Again.

Mr.. EDIToR:-W @ noticed an article IN
your paper not long since upon the sub.
ject of Il new court house in Addison
County signed by Mr.. l.. E. Smith,
representative from Monkton, and Mr..
Dond, of New Haven, in which they
say that the advocates of the bill in the
Legislature proposed fair terms to the
opposers of the bill, and yet it was de-
feated, aud Addison County is to go
another two years term with court
house that no other county in the state
would endure single year, A lawyer
from an adjoining county after sitting
an hour or two ut the present term, be-
coming nearly sulfocaIed, jumped up
and while adjusting his overcoat was
heard to remark that "Ile had got TO
get out of the room, as the air was
more impure and sitting than the
black hole of Calcutta" Such is the
experience of an honest man, who
knew what he was talking about, and
and such is the opinion of every
enlightened and liberal minded citizen
of Addison County. The representa-.
tivcs ofthe county who were so timid
as TO fear the frowns of few of their
constituents, who are SO destitute of
public PRIDE as TO wish to preserve the
old rokcry of by-gone ages, and there
by save themselves from being taxed a
few cents to build a new and respecta-
bic court house will find that instead of
being applauded for their penurious-
ness, they will be blamed for their
want of liberal, public spirit in not
favoring such a reasonable measure.
The head and front OF the oppositson to
the bill will also find that if he expects
to make for himself a great name, and
succeed in his high aspirations in the
county, that he has for once missed his
figure, and will meet his unmanly
to this much needed enter
prise in this matter when he will be
lily prepared for it. The freemen and
taxpayers of this county are progress
sive and liberal minded men, and
desire that Addison County should not
be behind in style and safety in county

BUSINESS AND PROFESSIONAL MEN,
and all who, in consequence of ovei
work find themselves suffering from q
gradually increasing brain and nervous
exhaustion, and who feel that they are
slowly losing vitality and the power to

will find in Compound Oxygen a new
agent of cure aud restoration, which
acts as revitalizer-and this with q
promptness that at once stops the
