To the Editor of The Morristown Gazette:
| received a copy Of the GAZETTE
this week 1t was like getting a
letter from an old personal friend
("provided that personal friend is a
Democrat" "
/ read E. o. Tate's letter with a
great deal of interest and satisfac-
ton with interest because he is my
personal friend, and | was glad to
hear of his recovery, with satisfac-
ton because | predicted several
years ago, through the GAZETTE,
that he would have it sometime,
and, according to his own diary,
(what-do-you-call-it, he has had it
bad [ thought when [ made the
prediction that il would Kill him,
but | never dreamed Of him having
it as bad as he did. However, there
is no telling what amount Of "that' ar
kind O. sickness" some men can
carry.
The weather is paImy and spring
like this morning, nut day before
yesterday was a h-lI of day to call
itself the first day of April.
The Senate, as you are doubtless
aware, has killed the debt settle
ment, and [ presume you are not
sorry Of it. But as you and [ are
two different individuals, beg
leave to be just a 'Fleetle" bit sorry.
There are just a few too many So
called State-credit Democrats in the
Senate, in connection with two ten
der-footed Republicans. There are
men in this legislature who were
elected on q State credit platform,
who have convinced me that they
don't want this matter taken out of
politics, and they are not confined
to one political party either. How
they can reconcile this way of
thinking and acting with their Off
cial oaths is, confess, more than |
can see. 1t is thought by some that
our creditors will make another
proposition I have no faith in the
rumor, but if they were to do so, l
doubt whether anything will be ac-

To the Editor of the MorristOwn Gazetteer
Several of my friends in Hamblen
county have sent me letters of in
quiry concerning this part Of Col
orado. [ take this method of an
swering them.
Maysville is located in a small val
ley, on the south side of the Arkan-
sas river, 13 miles from it's mouth,
and is through a narrow gap be-
tween two squares Of the mountains.
The valley is one-fourth of a mile
wide and one-half Of a mile long
The town has a population of 600,
and is laid off by two streets, run
ming east and west We have a
railroad and daily mail The road
was built expressly for the freight
and passenger business Of this min
ing district, and does not go farther
than this point-thus showing to my
friends that if they come here they
will have to hump their backs and
climb the snowy mountains. A
miner can get from 50 80 to SO 90
per day and board, or So 80 and
board himself will cost from
SO so to So per week in all cases.
Boarders are required to furnish
their own bedding. Any one who
comes here should bring plenty of
winter clothing, and heavy boots or
shoes, with about two good cow
hides on the bottom of them. If he
comes to work for wages or To pros
pect he needs no fine clothing and
no paper collars. You need not
come. out here and think you can
live without work, unless you have
plenty of money. A ticket to this
point will cost $50 90. There are
all kinds of people in these parts

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER

THE INEXTRICABLE -DEAD-LOCK-RID-
DLEBARGER OF VIRGINIA-BRANCH-
Els OF PUBLIC SERVICE AT A STAND
sTILL-ABOUT NATIoNALIzING THE
NEW YORK CUSTOM HOUSE.
WASHINGTON, d. c., April IL, 81.
To the Editor of The MOrristOwn Gazstte:
In the early days of this week
there were signs of break in the
Senate deadlock, but now, at the
close of the week, the lock is, to all
appearances, as much q Gordian
knot as ever. The great riddle to
be solved is Riddlebarger, Of Vir-
ginia. Democrats will have none of
him, and Republicans cannot get rid
Of him. The necessity of executive
sessions for the confirmation of the
Presidents appointees is acknowl-
edged by Republican Senators. Var
ious public interests are suffering
from the deadlock. The Office of
United States Marshal in the Dis
trict Of Columbia has been vacant
for more than a month by the eXpi-
ration of the term Of Fred Douglass.
This District, being a seperate judi
cial district the Supreme Court has
not power to fill vacancies, as it has
under statute in other United States
districts. The consequence is that
important business in the Criminal
Court is at a stand-still Mr.. Hay,
the assistant Secretary of State under
the late administration, is obliged to
remain in office until his successor,
Mr. Hit, has been confirmed. There
are many other nominations which
should have long since been acted
upon, and there are many other
nominations that are held back until
there shall be a prospect of their
prompt consideration by the Senate
The argument that has been so of
ten urged that the Republicans are
cOntending for principle and must
not recede from their position is
losing much of its pertinence, from
the fact that, being in the majority,
the Senate cannot adjourn without
their consent, and there is no APP
parent reasonable excuse for delay
ing the confirmation Of appointees
to whom no objection is suggested.
There was a good deal Of gossip
yesterday about the proposition to
natiOnalize the collectorship of the
port of New York. 1t has been
stated that the people of the entire
country are Interested in the office,
and that, therefore, the collector
need not necessarily belong to New
York. Since the matter has been
spoken of there have been all kinds
of speculations regarding the policy
of a man outside of New York to fill
the place, and as to the man who
would be most likely to get it,
should the President decide to carry
out the suggestion, David Davis is
spoken of in this connection. If
David Davis could be taken out of
the Senate, it would be one less vote
on the Democratic side. This is
where the policy of this nationali-
zing process would come in. The
Republicans would then have a ma
iority without the vote of Vice Pres
ident Arthur. The names of Charles
Foster and others have also been
mentioned in the same connection.
But these speculations are prema-
ture. 1t is generally believed that
the President will not withdraw Mr.
name nor that Mr.. Rob
ertson has the remotest idea of re-
questing the President to do such a
thing Conkling has not yet brought
his case to a point where such a con
is necessary.

probably worth about $15,000,000.
