The Washington correspondent OF the
Baltimore Sun says: A prominent and in
fluential Republican member OF the House
said, in conversation with your correspond
ent to-day, that never in all his expert
ence in politics had he seen such mud
throwing as is now INDUCED in by trusted
leaders of the Republican party and their
adherents toward each other. In the most
excited campaigns, he said, the Democrats
had never made such charges or used such
language toward their opponents as men,
bers Of the same party are now INDUCING
in. In public places here the President OF
the United States is constantly denounced
by those who do not belong TO lis
wing Of the party in the most opprobrl-
Gus and vulgar terms, and he and MI.
Blaine are charged with wrong and corrup'
ton far more heinOus than was involved In
any OF the campaign stories set ailoat during
last year. In return the friends and sup
porters OF the Administration are equally
strong in breadth and depth OF denuncla'
ton OF Senator Conkling, General Grant,
and their friends. The newspaper here
which is edited and controlled by the late
caucus Republican candidate for secretary
Of the Senate teens daily with ABUSE auu
ridicule OF the President and members OF
his Cabinet. So violent has It become that
in the departments many OF the employees
are 10th to be seen perusing 1t Tor lear
they may be marked for dismissal,
and not a few of them actually make
show OF reading the radical Democratic
newspaper published here, which rather
takes he side OF the President in the COnk-
ling controversy, and which is now plea
sanity designated as the Administration
organ. A Republican congressman to-day,
in abiding to the edifying spectacle which
is exhibited, said he hoped the Republican
party would recover from ii as it bad in the
last twenty years recovered from so many
blows, some OF which appeared at the time
to be fatal, but he was fearful that it would
not and could not. The breach which now
existed in the party was irreconciable, and
1t was growing wider and wider every day.
Bad Things About the President.
Among the rumors floating around to-day
is one 10 the effect that statement from eX-
Governor Shepherd will soon be given to
the public containing full account OF The
e, 1000 fee paid to General Garfield in the
matter OF the De Golyer pavement contract.
OF course General Shepherd knows all
abont this matter, but although he is such
a close friend OF General Grant and Sena-
tor Conklng, it is doubtful whether he
would consider it Just the thing for him to
tell what he knows about it.
Rumors are thick as TO Developments
which are impending, and which Will put
ex.Secretary sherman in an awkward posi-
ton on account Of transactions during his
administration Of the Treasury Department.
These rumors have been brought to Mr..
Sherman's attention, and he says they are
beneath his notice.
Last Nights Items.
The star OF last evening says: Mr.. Robert
Blaine, brother OF Secretary Blaine, is not
on the rolls OF the Sergcant-at-Arms OF the
Senate, as has been alleged in public prints.
We have it from a reliable source that no
change Is TO take place in the management
OF the Government printing office, so that
the employees disturbed by the groundless
rumOrs to the contrary may rest easy.
Mr.. II. W. Grady writes that the profits
OF Mr.. Davis on his book from the fist
years sales undoubtedly will be as much
as 100000.
