Washington Letter.
Legislative Tardiness-The Tariff Muddle-Mr.
Blaine Defends his South American Policy.
Correspondence of the Democratic Advocate
WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 81, 1882.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. 81, 1882.
Nearly two months have elapsed since the
opening of the 47th Congress, and, while over
two thousand bills have been introduced Ito
oblivion and much work accomplished in
committee, but little legislative work has been
completed The fertilization bill has been
passed by the House, and a bill for the relief
of the widow of Abraham Lincoln has been
passed by both the House and the Senate.
The tariff question has been discussed, to a
limited extent, in the Senate, and bill, re-
ferring the subject of revision to a special com
mittee, has been passed. but the indications
are that the House will not pass the bill re-
ferring the tariff question to special committee
outside of Congress. The opponents of the
bill in the House argue that a reference of
this subject to a committee would be produc-
tive of a great amount of trouble and delay.
The report of the special committee could not
be made before next January, or only two
months before the legal termination of the
47th Congress. on the 4fh of March, 1888.
The present Congress would, therefore, have
only two months TO consider the matter; two
months that are, necessarily, SC crowded with
work on appropriation bills, that it is fire.
quently the custom to hold night and Sunday
sessions during the final days of the short
term. The subject will be discussed this week
in the House, but it cannot be foretold how it
will be settled.
1t is still believed by many here that En-
Senator Sergeant will be made Secretary of
the Interior, but the friends of the present
Secretary insist that he can retain the place
if he wishes to do so.
1t is evident that Mr.. Blaine, although no
longer an active participant in either the legis-
lative or executive branches of the Govern
ment, Is hy no means out of politics. He has
published long vindication of his South
American policy, and, after comparingit with
that which has been adopted by the present
Secretary of State, a majority of Americans,
think, viii be disposed to agree that Mr..
Blaine had adopted the more manly and just
attitude that powerful nation should assume
between conquered and dispoilcd people
aud their rapacious vietors.

Q. {. D.-Republcan Falsehood.


One Of the falsehoods iguorantiy or wilfuliy
stated aalinst the Democratic party, is that
the present Legislature paid Mr. Eagene Hig-
gins, Secretary Of the senate Of 1880 $50 for
one DAYS service in assisting % organize the
session Of 1882. Mr.. Higgins We arc reliably
informed. had been performing service in con
nection with the organization Of the Senate for
five or six weeks prior to its assembling and
for that serries he was paid $50, and not for
one or faco days service, as has been charged.
The Senate Chamber must be gotten in read
mess. list Of members prepared, and very
many ether details arranged, all Of which
takes time and entails expense.
The statement originated with the Hagers-
town Nail, and il has been reiterated By the
Republican Journals Of the state, which have
made ii their own by putting it IN their edito-
rial eolumns without crediting the Nal. The
mere statement Of something against the Dem
ocratic party is enough for them to lend their
personal assent to it, without inquiring wheth-
er 1t be true OF false, and in some instances
the correctness or incorrectness Of an asser-
ton is a matter Of no Consequence 50 il re-
fleets upon the Democratic party.

Although the New York legislature had
been in session six weeks, the House was
unable to organize until Thursday, when c.
E. Patterson, Democrat, was chosen speaker.
The deadlock was occasioned by John Kelly
holding his Tammany followers aloof from the
regular party, until certain demands he made
were granted. 1t is said that he succeeded,
then his followers, ten in number, united to
elect the regular Democratic nominee. No
bargain should have been made with him,
even if the organization had to have been
handed over to the Republicans. An open
foe is preferable to a secret enemy. Kelly is
a political hypocrite- pretending to be a Dem
ocrat and at the same time being one of its
worst and most dangerous foes.

The New Registration Bill.

The new registration bill passed the Senate
on Tuesday by a unanimous vote, Democrats
and Republicans voting for it alike. Senator
Steiner, in voting aye" said ''the republi-
cans had endeavored to amend the bill in ac-
cord with the spirit of the times and secure
minority representation but had failed, and
accepted this bill to get rid of the dead
wood in Baltimore city. That was all bun
combe. Senator Steiner knew the bill was
just and equitable, and much more so than
the Republicans passed when they held power
in MARYLAND, and more just than they would
pass now had they the votes to do it. Under
their rule Democrats not only had no repre-
sentation, but scores of them were net allowed
to vote. Senator Steiner must know this
is not forgotten, and will not be for years.
