Our Washington Letter.

WASHINGTON. ID. O., Jan. 81. 1881.
On two questions this week the Democrats
of the House have been pOweress though
there is majority Of Democratic members
No quorum Of Democrats was present, so
that the Republicans by Abs,ainiug from
voting, prevented the transaction of business
This occurred first when the Morgan resolu,
tiOn was up. do not regret the result in
this case, 1t is folly for Democrats to make
parade Of urgency 10 this matter now, after
letting four years 60 by without action since
the frauds Of 1876, AT any time between
March, 1877, aud November. 1880. thers was
possibility that Republicans would need to
resort 10 1881 to the same sort Of niquily
which put Hayes 10 the White House. and
during all that time there was necessity for
legislation to prevent their success, Now.
Garfield being elected beyond doubt, and the
necessity for immediate legislation over. it
is not strange that msuy Democrats take little
interest in the subject. aud that quorum eau
not BE- had 10 the House.
At the date Of my last letter, the House
was Just beginning One of those sprees which
it names "call of the House" The call
lasted all night till broad day light 10 the
morning. but still no business wac done, and
none was dons the next day, the members
being unfit for work. The week bas, 10 fact.
passed without the accomplishment of any
thing 10 the House.
Tue Committee on POstOfices and Post
Road will, on Monday, report fsvOrably M
Sprngers resolution for inquiry into tb-
pracIicab:lty of Telegraph branch Of the
POslOfiee Department. The vote 10 commits
tee was seven to one. Though nothing can
bs done at this session, the friends OF such
action as is contemplated by the resolution
are confident Of success at an early day.
Mr.. Cox IS not as confident of the passage
Of his OF any other appOrtionmenl bill during
this session. He say, the Republicans arr
Indifferent as 10 passage OF any bill on the
sutjrct, and will resort 10 semi.rsvOlutiOnary
tactics rather than permit one to pass which
does not just suit them. There is a very
large majority Of members Of the House il
favor of present action. but the leading r.
publcaus are Indifferent, being willing thai
this aud other subjects should 60 over to b,
considered by Republican House in th'
next Congress, and SO tar they have been
able to bold lbrir party together even to lh.

The following is from a late statement Of
the commissioner of the national department
Of agriculture; We have paid since the dis
covery of gold in California more money out
of tue country for sugar than has been dug
of the precious metal in our country. Since
the discovery of gold we have dug out of the
ground Sl,700 00000-a huge sum indeed /;
but in the same period Of years we paid
away over $l,SO0,O 900 for sugar almost
entirely raised out Of the United States.
Our annual sugar import would require five
vessels every day, each vessel of 500 tons
burden, to be landing sugar at our wbarves
the whols year round. If you would put
the sugar We consume every year in trains of
cars they would extend from New York far
beyond Chicago,

..The seven Men society"


Ny. Tim-s: The death Of the last SUR
viyOr Of the Seven Men Society" has been
announced. This was 40 iuiurnal orgauizar
ton. formed about half . century ago BY
seven asquain,anees. who agreed to have e
social dinner once a year while any Of their
members lived; each mans chair was to be
at lhs tsblr-rmpty-aits bis departure from
earth; al Ibs Survivors Wsre to attend The
Obssquics Of each dead member, aud The last
survivor was to drink a bottle Of Eiue, duly
preserved, after the death Of ell the rest.
The idea is not new. and the narrative Of a
similar agreement, many years older than
this. hss been more impressively told. A
larger number Of hale young men, dozen
or so, were DINING together, when suddenly
some one. brthought him Of the iucOngruOus
wonder what they would all BE- doing bun
drsd years from then. aud another brOaehed
proposal that they all form a club on The
spot, for an annual dinner. which should take
place on the anniversary Of that day as long
as any member survived. Somewhat warmed
as they were with wine, the proposal was
adopted BY Instant reclamation, aud the fOal
bottle Of wine, 10 be uneorked and drank 90
a distant occasion. which seemed to them al
hardly 10 BE- realized, was put away imms
diately. The diOner was followed by .
pleasure party on the river, and presently the
subject Of their agreement an hour earlier
driled agaiu before their minds one Of The
Iiveliest joked bis nearest eOmrads about the
iufrmities of age aud plsyfully gave him
thump on the back. Both were standing 10
the boat. The sudden stroke caused the
person addressed to lose his balance, be went
overheard, and was beyond recall before the
stricken party could recover their senses.
Ons by one this FIRST gap in their number
widened until more chairs we're empty than
occupied aud the dinner grew more and more
sombIe as the beads became fewer aud whttr'
The last survivor. faithful to the compact,
sat wearily down to the last anniversary dinl
ner, surveying eleven empty chairs, and
brought out the memorial bottle Of wine from
its dusty hiding He broke the SEAL drew
the cork. decantsd the contents, and paused
in an OverpOweriDg rush Of emotion. The
eleven chairs seemed occupied by sbadOwy
forms; the seventy years rolled back before
