American beef is regarded in England
es Of superior quality, but they think the
mutton we send there is not TO be COM
pared in flavor or tenderness with thai of
home production. The reason for this is
that our sheep are generally treated in Il

without much consideration of the quail

preciate BY those who have had the for

merest slip of the pen, an cpithet too

capable of Interpretation, the most tri-
fling offences to personal or national sus-
ccptibility OF those, who do not even pro-

NAV prove not only disagrccab.c, but
costly mis- eS; but they are about the
least of the mistakes to which the editor
is liable. The editor must be on the spot
until the paper is sent to press, and make
decisions on which not only the approval
of the public but even great causes may

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, DC,
March 9. 1881.


WASHINGTON, DC,
March 2 1881.
i. Gen. Garfield reached here yester-
day. He found everything in order
except Congress, andA that body
wouldShave been doing we'll but for
Conger, obstructionist. I'm spite of
him, however, progress was made,
and there is reasonable hope when
the session. closes on March 4th, its
necessary business will have been
accomplished.
Among the Democrats who have
advanced their regulations as Rep;
re~sentatives during the session about
to close, Carlisle, of Kentucky, Tuck
er, of Virginia, Townshend, of Lii
nois and McLane, of Maryland.
Others, perhaps because less favored
upon Committees, have failed to Sc
cure the credit for equally able and
creditable work. =
Of Republicans, Frye, of Maine,
has deservedly received most atten-
tion of a complimentary kind. He
will be the candidate of his party for
Speaker, if not sent to the Senate.
Conger has become better known
than before, but it is only the truth
to say that as a legislator he is not
as well liked IS two years ago He
is one of the kindest of men outside
of the House of Representatives,
however, and may improve his legis-
lative manners when he reaches the
Senate.
This Congress has been utterly
free from 'jobs." Indeed, the fear
of miss spending the public money
has prevented appropriations for de
sirable objects. Of course no one
fully endorses all the items in the
monstrous River and Harbor bill,
1 mean by tjobs" those schemes
which are pushed through Congress
for the benefit of individuals, cor
porations, etc.
The Southern question" has not
had more attention than perhaps was
reasonable in the year or two pre-
ceding. and the few months following
a Presidential election. AL war
Legislation on the statute books two
years ago. remains there now, and
that to the discredit of the Republi-
can party. 1t has been impossible
for the Democrats, greatly as they
desired to do so, to put in the form
of law an absolute prohibition of the
use of troops at the polls.
Gen. Garfield deserves as well as
Grant the title of the :Silent Man."
If we wish to know who viii be mem
bers of the Cabinet we must wait
Until the fourth, and his probable
policy can only be told by consulting
the speeches made before his nomi:
nation. He will have by far the
grandest Inauguration eve seen.
The city is already filling up, and by
Thursday night there will hardly be
standing room" on the principal
streets.
The Secretary of the Treasury re-
ports a decrease in the public debt
during the month of February
amounting to $11, $40, 1880. This
is the last of Mr.. Sherman's monthly
statements. His will be
fortunate if the condition of Nation.
al finances shall enable him to make
such reports as most of Mr.. Sher
mans have been. DEM.
