WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON, d. c., June 81, 1884,
The white exodus has commenced. The Pres
ident sets the example, going to Long Branch,
and the lesser officials and private citizens, male
and female, follow it. There was silly rumor
that the President and ex- President Grant were
to meet at the branch and compromise" Alb
surd as the story was, Il found some believers
Its telling had one effect-it has induced General
Grant to make public the fact that President
Garfield wrote him letter as soon as Grants
letter to Senator Jones was published. In doing
that the President made mistake. No doubt
he wished TO explain to Grant the reason for GER
tain acts of the Administration. His motives
were good, but he was indscreet Grant never
listens to explanations or takes advice except
from his toadies, and the moment he got that let
ter from Garfield he believed Garfield to be an
inferior sort of person who wished to save him
self from the dreadful wrath of the third term
men. That the wellmeant letter had just this
effect, may be seen in the subsequent interviews
had with Grant at st. Louis and elsewhere, in
which he spoke with something like contempt of
the President. So far from compromise result
ing from meeting at Long Branch, it is more
likely that Grant, who is vindictive, obstinate,
and not blessed with the highest degree of re-
finement, would refuse 10 speak 10 the President.
1t would be like him.
To the straight Republicans of Virginia, the
other day, the President gave considerable en-
couragement, and, though he made no positive
promise not to countenance an alliance with Ma
homes men, he came as near to promise as the
prophecies of his position and of the occasion
permitted. There is no doubt he will give all
the aid he can to the regular Republican ticket
which Is to be nominated.
Within few days past there is, find, pretty
general concurrence of belief here that couple
of Administration Senators will be elected in
| New York very soon. Indications of this are
not found in the published dispatches, but friends
of the Administration have busily circulated the
report. As the contest has gone on long enough
to embitter Conkling and his friends, and thereby
prevent a united Republican vote in the State
hereafter, l do not know as the result OF the
Senatorial election now is of much importance
For some reason not explained, the Treasury
investigation has been summariv stopped by thu
Secretary, and the report Of the committee sup
pressed by him. This is the strangesta act any Sec
rotary ever committed, and cannot be defended
or excused. Enough evidence was published Il
make people suspicious of very high officials il
the Department, and the course of the Secretar,
will add to the strength of those suspicious !
anything can HILTON.

Something that Cannot be Ig-
mOred.

John l. Davenport offered Robert II. Strahan
the appointment of United States Marshal for
this district Of that there can be no doubt, for
Mr. Strahan has 80 stated under oath, and his
word NO one questions.
Mr. Strahan was at the time State Senator
and the offer was expressly put upon the condi-
ton that Mr.. Strahan should support the Admin
istraton candidates for the United States Senate
in opposition to Messrs. Conkling and Plat
Mr. Davenport pretended to act by authority
The presumption is in favor of his truthfulness
No one could authorize him but President
Garfield.
If President Garfield did authorize such an
offer he deserves impeachment.
These are facts which no party can overlook

Ocaa Banner, Extra
Sale Of the 1000, 900 Acres Con-
flrmed.

In conversation with one OF the passengers
on the Peninsular Railroad yesterday afternoon,
we were informed that the sale of the 4,OOO,O 900
acres Of the State lands for 81 100000 has been
confirmed. The purchasers are Philadelphia
company. They are to take the lands in sections
of 10000 acres. All the lands purchased lie
south of Ocala, and great deal of it east of the
Kissimmee river The bid of the English CAPT.
talsts was rejected, as the State authorities were
bound by some sort of obligations TO the Phila.
delphia company. Had the bid of the English
company been accepted, it is said, they would
have established line of steamers direct from
Liverpool, and sent out immigrants at once TO
occupy the lands. II is unfortunate that the
State could not have sold 10 them. AS it is the
State has sold the 100000 acres, in our opinion
for good price, and the Internal Improvement
Board are to be congratulated for the success Of
their efforts.

HIDDENITE AN AMERICAN GEM.-There
are on exhibition in Albany, N. Y, several
specimens of the new gem recently discover
ed in North Carolina. This stone was first
found year ago, and is already accepted as
a gem of the finest rank. In 1879, Mr.. VIM.
Earl Hidden, who was travelling in the South,
looking for platinum for Edison, discovered
emerald crystals in Alexander county, N. @.
Obtaining lease of the property, he formed
a company in New York, and operations were
commenced in July, 1880. After working
for q month with little success, a fssure vein
was struck containing crystals resembling en-
eralds, but differing from them in color and
brillancy and other particulars. DIR. j. l..
Smith pronounced the specimens which were
sent to him examination TO be an emerald
green variety of spodumene-one unknown
to scientists. At his suggestion the new min
eral was called hiddenite, in honor of the dis
coverer. The vein in which these crystals
have been found is one of very limited extent,
being from two TO two-and-one-half inches in
width and two feet long About six or eight
ounces of material have been taken out 80 far,
the largest weighing 81 karats. In color hid
denite ranges from a very light to a deep en-
erald green The prismatio cleavage is per-
feet, yielding surfaces of the highest lustre,
while its hardness and brillianoy exceeds that
of the emerald. The cut stones have sold for
800 karat, and are eagerly sought for by
dealers. One gem, weighing % karats, has
been purchased by the British museum. Mr..
Hidden's discoveries In North Carolina have
so far resulted in the first find of emeralds in
this country, the first mining of gems IN SStu
anywhere, and the discovery Of the only pure
ly American gem.

John A. Outhbert of Mobile, Ala, claims
to be the oldest ex-congressman and oldest
practicing lawyer in the country. He is "a

gued a case before the Alabama supreme court
in 1879 and fought in the war of 1912.
"A Boston firm of lumber dealers is trying

An Italian matron recently deceased was
the mother of twenty children, ten of whom
became parents of large families. There
were present at her funeral 100 persons who
had a right to call her mother or grand

"A 17-year-old girl in Linn county, Ia, was
so severely whipped by her father short time
ago that she has since died from the effects Of
it, He forbade her keeping company with a
certain young man, which she did, and her
father tied her to post in the barn. and, re-
port says, whipped her till he whipped the
very clothes off her back The man is we'll

The Chicago Times expedition, under
the lead of Capt. s. b. Evans, has discovered
in the mountains north of Santa Fe the ruins
of a town of Toltec origin, with Notifications,
aqueducts and reservoirs for water. II is in
a wild and almost inaccessible region, ON the
headwaters of the Poajuake river, and al
though their existence was known to the In
dams and a few white men, the ruins have
never been explored or described.
William O. Woodward of Marseilles, ILL.,, .,
has invented an organ and piano combined,
which can be played together or separately
from the same keyboard, the change being
effected without break in the music. The
combined sound of the piano and organ is Pc
ouliar in effect, representing every instrument
in a full orchesta. Another popularity of
this strange instrument is that, while the pi-
ano and organ arrangement are entirely dis
tinct, any part of either instrument may be
played with part or the whole of the other.

FROM the Queens speech, read at the
opening of the British Parliament yes.
terday, it appears that her Majesty, ss
aivlsed by Mr.. Gladstone, is. anxious
about the unfufilled portions of tht
treaty of Berlin; is going to vindicate
her authority in the Transvaal; regrets
the continunce Of the war in Basutoland;
and does not intend to permanently oc-
cupy Candahar. She says that Ireland,
in spite Of an abundant harvest, is in an
alarming condition, what with agranan
crimes, paralysis of the law, and whole
sale terrorism. Iu this emergency, sht
has decided to at once ask additional ane
sufficient powers; but she is still
desirous to redress Ireland's
grievances, and recommends new legis.
laIion upon the relation of landlord and
tenant, to enable a larger proportion o.
the population to become landowners
removing "all obstacles arising out o.
limitations on the ownership ofproperty
with due provision for the security of th,
interests involved"
