Washington Letter.
tFlum Our Regular Correspondent. !

WASHINGTON, L. C, April 10, 1882.
In may as well be granted that
the tariff commission bill will be.
come law, and that the Presi-
dent will have TO appoint nine
commissioners from civil life to
take in consideration the present
tariff, how it affects the various in
dustrles of the country and rec
ommend TO Congress what changes
ought to be made in it. There are
already good MANY Candidates
for these nine positions and the
President has, it is said, consid-
erable list of men who believe
themselves or are believed by their
friends to he eligible. There is
some reason to think that ex-Sec-
retary Kirkvooi will lie one Of the
commissioners If lie wishes the
place. Concerning the others
nothing is known. When the com
mission comes 10 be made up, if it
is honestly done, IT will be some
thing OF question: 10 determine
the scale upCn which the great in
dustries OF the country shall be
represented. The nine commits
siopers should represent fairly and
pFoportionately the industries of
the whole Union. To begin with,
at least four of the commissioners
should representagficulture North
and South. This is the largest and
most important interest in the
country. Wheat and the other
grains, beef and the other meats,
cotton, sugar and hay, not to speak
OF other minor agricultural indus
tries, employ more people and iu-
terest more families than all the
other industries in the coun-
try taken together, and to give the
agricultural interest four repre-
sentatives on the commission would
be TO give too little rather than too
much. To give TO the raisers of
grain, cotton, beef and pork, sugar,
hay and fruit. less than four COM
missieners would necessarily cause
great disappointment and distrust
among the agricultural class of the
fairness of the commission and the
utility of its work. Then comes
the manufacturing interests, cot
ton, lumber and mining interests,
all of which should be considered
proportionately to their relations
to the tariff and each other.

But the latter and his family will
not move in before next autumn,
as they propose spending the sum-
per out OF Washington, as usual.
Senator and Mrs. Window will
probably move into theirs, which
is a mammoth dwelling, very soon.
Their former residence, which
Senator Platt, of New York, pur-
chased and settled on his wife
just year ago, has stood empty
ever since last November, when
Senator and Mrs. Window gave it
up. Mrs. Platt, hoping to rent it,
came here and refurnished it
throughout very sumptuously, but
has not found a tenant. These
three houses, all very handsome
and specially adapted for enter
tanning, stand as monuments TO
the futility of human hopes ami
ambitions, which was never more
forcibly exemplifed than by the
brief duration of the Garfield
administration and the consequent
change of plans of those who had
expected to shine during its
continuance. which they certainly
believed would be four wears at
least. Since he is a senator, as he
was before his brief experience ia
the cabinet, Mr.. Window will not
look upon his big, new house as "a
white elephant; still is probably as
true of him as of Mr.. Blaine that
he began building with a view 10

wise, both gentlemen would have

To the editor Of the Alexandria Gazette:
In your local columns of Wednesday last under
the head Of "Alcxandria Litigants in Chicago"
there appear two extracts one from the Chicago
Times, the other from tho Washington Star. Both
are so grossly untrue, and unjust to the parties
litigant, that feel called upon to deny their ac-
curacy, believing that these papers have been i'm
posed upon by parties interested in some way in
the litigation, and not very scrupulOus in their
use OF words have only to say, and the records
are in my possession to show that am correct AS
follows:
LIST. The history of the litigation and the REASONS
therefor are not correctly stated.

judge every decision was in favor of the heirs or
plaintiffs.
Bird. The Supreme Court did not reverse the
decision OF the lower court except as 10 the inter
est OF one party but rs to the other five affirmed
it, and upon Il petition for Il rehearing refused to
grant it.
18th. No new evidence was discovered nor did

weaker On the contrary they had in their favor
the unanimous decision Of the Supreme Court of
Illinois. ...r

articles are not true; bnt being purely private
