OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.

Special Correspondence to The Republican.
WASHINGTON. ID. c., April. 10, 1881.
The dead lock in the Senate still
continues. Contrary to expectation
the Republicans held no caucus yes
terday from which it seems settled
that the contest is to go on interrupted
by the much needed conformation of
few important officers, until the
Democrats yield. l cannot help be-
lieying that the continuance of this
deadlock. so injurious to the opera
tions of the government, is of ques.
tionable policy. Though the leaders
of the party are in favor of 1t, and
although they have acted in the past
with seeming lack of judgment, but
which turned out for the best in the
end, l am afraid the country will
demand better reasons than have yet
been presented for this long delay in
the public business. The President,
just entering upon duties new and
ardu0us to him, is hampered in the
exercise Of his authority by the lack
of executive officers, and, in fact,
several departments of the govern.
ment are almost at dead stand still,
because there is no one to sign official
papers.
Information comes here from Kan.
sas that the exodus of negroes from
Southern States is beginning again,
and bids fair to assume greater pro-
portions this spring and summer
than ever before. Much is being done
to stop the exodus but all efforts are
in vain. Even the State Board,
having in charge the care of colored
emigrants, find it impossible to stop
the In-pouring, aided as they are by
money from Southern commercial
centres. The political problem in the
South will, if this exodus continues
several years longer. give way to the
more important one of labor.
Lord Beaconsfield, the great Eng
lish Conservative, and Ex-Prime
Minister, died this morning in Lon
don. He was born in 1905, and his

years of his life, enjoyed by but few
men in history. Gladstone now

The Secretary of the Treasury has

open the schools already formed and
organize new ones where they are
needed. In determining the point of
necessity / would say that in every
community where there are children
sufficient to form even small school
they need the training and influence
afforded by we'll conducted Sunday
School. There is growing interest
In the Sunday School work in Garrett
county, as we'll as general interest
throughout the werld. Nevertheless
there is only about 0ne-seventh of
the population of the United States
attending the Sunday Schools. There
are to-day. according to the data we
have, about ninety thousand children
in this State between s and Is wears
of age outside of any Sunday Scheol.
"Let the workmen gather them in"
and throw around the young a
healthy moral influence. Ministers
especially should interes: themselves
in this matter. At every appoint
ment there should be Sunday
School. The Maryland Sunday School
Union proposes to assist in carrying
on the work. not by interfering with
denominational schools, but by as
sisting than il they need help, and
more especially to organize schools
in neglected and destitute places UNI
occupied by religious organizations.
Persons who know where schools
could be formed and are not for want
of assistance, will please make it
known. In order that our children
may grow uu tn be useful members
of society and fill their respective
stations in life with honor, the safe
guards of virtue and religion must he
thrown around them. The heart of
the child is tender and will receive
and retain every impression that is
made upon it. 1t may be moulded
by. the skillful teacher into almost
any forin. TO cultivate the intellect
and bring out the dormant powers of
the mind is noble work, but to
prepare the immortal powers for
endless felicity, for immortality aid
eternal life, is a work Of far greater
magnitude. This work, great as it
is, may be dane in the Sunday School
as successfully As anywhere else. 1t
is wonderful how true love enana-
ting from the devoted teacher touches
up the finer feelings of the scholar,
and transforms the entire life and
character. Many good and brave in
the Church to-day are ready to attri-
butte all their moral worth and reli-
gious prospects to the efforts of the
earnest and faithful Sunday School
teacher. With what reverence and
respect we think and speak of those
who directed our erring feet in eur
youthful days: they are indelibly
written upon the heart; they cannot
be efiaced. AS our County Sunday
School Conventions thus far have
been successes, let us make this one
the best of all. Let every school be
represented if possible ; if not send a
written report. Blanks will be sent
by Bro. Baker from Baltimore. II
any do not receive them please make
it known to me and they will be for.

The Poor British Farmers.



The loss by this disastrous season will
fall principally On the landlords. For
the last two years they have been chang
ing up" the rents and there is hardly a
farmer who does not owe at least eight
cen months gale
This year the tenants hoped to be able
to clear off the arrearages, but instead of
that they will be compelled TO ask for
another years credit. The landlord who
has to meet settlements and jointurss on
his estate, come rain or shine, will be
forced to clap on another mortgage, and
many of them, already mortgaged up to
their eyes, will have to settle with the
Sheriff.
/ saw great MANY farmers in my re-
cent rambles through the midland coun-
ties and they told me that bad crop
this year would drive them out of agri-
culture together. Ii is hard thing for
a man who has worked early ADD late to
have the fruit of his toll destroyed for
seven years in succession and il is Just SIS
hard for the landlord to have TO weigh
himself down with 3 new mortgage be-
fore he is able to psy the first years in
tercst on the last one.

The Loss of the TeufOu.

lowing: Survivors from the wreck of the
Union mail steamer. Teutor. state that
two hours before the ship sank the boats
were lowered to level with the bull
warks, and provisions and compasses
placed In them. One boat broke loose
from its fastenings while being lowered,
and six werebrought alongside. About
thirty women and children took places
in them first When the water washed
into the engine room the steamer sank by
the head, taking down with her four
boats, which were not fairly clear of the
ship. Those of the passengers and crew
who rose to the surface chung to floating
wreckage until picked up by those who
righted the third boat. At daylight the
boats made for Simoy's Bay, ali who
were clinging to spars being first taken
aboard. the Teuton had ESQ passengers
So of the crew, and 30 coolies on board.
Eleven passengers and twenty five of the
crew were saved.

sensible reasons regarding the inability

aft President WAS compelled by some
imperative duty To go abroad, would he
not, as Governor Morton did under such
circumstances, notify the officer who had
to I'LL his place in case Of inability that
that time had arrived; and when he re
turned would he not resume his authority
without question: If cabinet min

fiict, call on some member TO fill his

Would not the ranking General on a
battlefield, if severely stunned or shock
ed, require the next in command to di-

These are voluntary delegations of
power, and purposelg exclude cases OF
insanity, where sn intelligent act could
not be performed. Reasoning from them
by analogy, can not see why President
Garfield could not himself notify the
Vice-President of his temporary 'inabil-
ity' whenever he saw At 10 do so; but
can not find precedent nor argument fol-
