Our Washington Letter.
WASHINGTON, D. G., March 5. 1881

WASHINGTON, ID. G., March 5, 1881,
If we were to accept the idea ofa con-
solidatcd Government, instead Of the
Government provided for in the consti-
tuition of the United States, the inaugG-
raj address Of President Garfield would
be in every respect admirable. In its
treatment of subjects, however, his idea
Of central, original authority, from
which provinces shall be governed, Is
always present. He thinks Of a general
Government which created Itself and
then created States, and not Of the tllir-
teen States which formed n Union. IN
what he says ofillitCracy Of every other
subject, it Is always the authority at
Washington which shall grant relief or
infict punishment. Whe ideas OF Hum
ilton, and not those of Jefferson, under
lie the address.
But Of It's kind il il the best inaugural
address ever written. II is received by
Congressmenofull parties with much
favor, and the Washington public OF all
parties Is pleasd. The reference TO the
late war between the States give IN full

Mr.. Beck remarked that if the Demo-

refuse to confirm the nomination of a

Letter in Dispatch Oh, ~
Unquestionably Mr.. Beck was therin
guilty of violation of taste. Suppos-
ing that Democratic Senators had the
good sense to favor an immediate nomi-
nation Of Mr.. Garicld's Cabinet, Mr.
Beck was ready to deprive them of any
crcditable motive iii doing so, by inyok-
ing the ghost Of Abraham lincoln as a
hobgoblin with which to make people
believe they were frightened into an act
of proprlety. AS fur as Mr. Beck could
do 1t, the country is now to understand
that he bulldozcd Southern Democrats
by sheer force OF alarm into doing II
thing that mere decency and good sense
required them to do. The ancient Dem
ocrat Is sometimes Bourbon, and Mr.
Beck is mn ancient Democrat.
