CHIPS FROM THE CAPITOL.
CORRESPONDENCE OF THE SENTINEL.

On the part OF the House 10 winch Is 10 De
referred all matters in relation to woman suf-
frage has brought out highly practical point
throughout the country. 1t is in. the rails
ing of the question, do the women them
selves want the right Of suffrage? We have
long had evidence that portion of them do
They have sent up petitions TO the Leglsla-
ture each year, and they have appeared be-
fore the committees to advocate their desires,
but the faces that have been seen do not vary
essentially from time to time. The circle OF
woman suffrage receives no material en-
largement. 1t presents highly respectable
class of women, class distinguished by IN
telligence, but not universally representative
of the sex. There has been evidence that
there is another class who have not been heard
from. They have taken but little interest
in the subject. A portion of them have at
last appeared, and they come from the most
cultured city in the Union with Il petition
against the extension of suffrage to woman.
Your correspondent heard it asserted to-
day by several Democratic members that
there was truth in the rumor that Tilden
had consented To be a candidate for the
Presidency in 1884 if George Palmer, of
Illinois, would accept the second place on
the ticket.
The most difficult question the House
Naval Committee has to determine is the
one in relation to bill for the building of
of new ships and by whom they are to be
built.
The army appropriation bill has been pre-.
pared by the committee and is in excess OF
last years appropriation Of about $780, 900
The widows of President Tyler and Polk
are to be pensioned-the bill will probably
pass the Senate to-day.
Senator Jones has offered resolution
that the Capitol shall be open to visitors on
national holidays-it is now closed upon
such occasions.
The House Committee on Ways and
Means have instructed Chairman Kelly to
report to the House bill for passage re-
moving the discriminating duty of 10 per
cent. heretofore imposed upon importations
east of the Cape Of Good Hope.
At the request of Mr.. Urner Mr.. II. A.
Dawson, of your town, has been appointed
distributing clerk of the congressional mail
at the City Postoffice, at q salary of 800
per month. A nice position.
Col. M. d. Ball, delegate elect from Alaska,
is asking for $4,000 mileage.
NOTES AND PERSONALS.
The memorial services brought to the CAPT.
toll many prominent and leading politicians
of both parties from your State, and from
conversation your correspondent discovered
that public sentiment in your district is
crystallizing in the direction of the Hon.
Montgomery Blair for Congress. The nomi-
nation of Mr.. Blair, it is claimed, would be II
most fortunate event at this juncture of our
political affairs. Trained in the school Of
statesmen and political giants, his long ex-
perience in public life, his personal ac.
uuaintance with oil of the distinguished
men of the day, his great purity of charac-
ter, private and public, his acknowledged
ability to grasp any and all emergencies are
elements of character, which are wanted
upon the eve and formation of another ad-
ministration. 1t is moreover claimed that
Mr.. Blair's nomination would hush all dis
sensions, quiet all animosities, wipe out all
factions that may exist, and that he would
thus be triumphantly elected.
The nomination of Conkling to the Su-
preme Bench leads all TO excaim, "Stal-
warts to the front"
Senator Lamar, who was recently run
over by carriage, has gone home to CON
suit his family physician regarding his in
juries, which prove TO be much more seri-
Gus than at first supposed.
Senator Logan feels rather sick over the
prospect of Fitz John Porters reinstatement
in the army. The best authorities agree that
the President has decided to take this step al
an early day. Porter will ask at once to be
placed on the retired list.
Judge Regan, of Texas, formerly Postmas-
ter General of the Confederacy, assumes the
position that parties are necessary under
our institutions, and that they must be based
on clearly defined political opinions. The
