Our Washington Letter.
FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT.


WASHINGTON, D. c., July Is, 1882.
Congress has directed the Department
of Agriculture to undertake work which
will be of much more practical utility
than raising sugar at fifty dollars
pound or distributing seeds through the
mails which nobody will ever plant. The
Division of Statistics has been directed
to collect and publish monthly, for the
information of farmers the freight rates
of the various railroad and steamboat
lines. for the purpose of enabling them to
judge when and over what lines it will
be the most profitable to ship their pro-
ducts. If the department could devise
some means to compel some of the trans
portation lines to give the farmers as
coed rates as they do brokers and specu-
iators, it would have established claim
to practical usefulness which would be
gratefully acknov lodged. In the mean
time the move already made is practical
and good as far as it goes.
The rush for government clerkships is
something unprecedented. By recent
legislation nearly one thousand clerk
| ships have been created, chi, fly on ac-
count of the payment OF pensions. Some
eight hundred of these places are in the
Interior Department alone, and that de-
partment is naturally besieged with ap-
plicnnts. 1t is said by Secretary Teller
that he Wouid not have a moment of time
for public business if he should devote a
minute or two to every individual who
came particularly recommended to him.
The only way is to shut them all out and
let them file their applications. 1t is es-
timated that about 1000 applications are
on file already and more are comi G
daily. From Teller they flock to the
Pension Office. Colonel Dudley has GER
tam views on civil service reform, and
one of these views is the apportionment
of the places among members of Congress
pro rata as near as possible.
There is some comment in the Treasury
Department over the section of the bank
charter extension bill providing for the
issue Of 3 per cent. bonds, because Of
their exemption from "all taxation by OIL
und,r State authority" only. Heretofore
such bonds have been exempt from taxa
ton of every character national, Stat,
f or municipal. 1t is qustion whethel
the new bonds will not be subject to 10
, cal or municipal taxation. Secretar!
Folgar called attention to the omission
during the consideration of the bill b.
= Congress, but it was not rectifed. NJ
s great difficulty is anticipated, however
4 from this source, as it is thought the pro
$ hibition OF State taxation will be con
f sidered generally as including municip
: taxation, and it is hardly likely that th

+ shape does not hold good, as the taKatio

is as follows; "All stock, bonds, Treasury
notes, and other obligations of the United
States shall be exempt from taxation by
or under State or municipal OF local au-
thority."
Senator Mitchell was asked by your
correspondent to-day as to his views con-
oerning the action of the Republican
State committee at Philadelphia yester-
day. He said that he was as yet scarce
ly advised fully enough to warrant any
expression, but fhe understood the pur-
pose of the men who met yesterday, it
was simply to put the Independents in
hole and deprive them of the moral sup
port of the country in their fight. 1t
was idle now to talk about harmony, and
the fight was bound to go on until Don
Cameron and bis friends were driven
from power. The Independents of Penn
sylvania would not support Gen. Beaver
for Governor under any circumstances,
and the proposition for a near convention
was simply trap to catch them. The
only way to produce harmony was for
the candidates on the Stnlwart ticket to
step down and out and not come to the
front again. The Independents had a
mission to perform, and would not be
diverted from it by any scheme Of politi-
cal tricksters. The fight must go on,
and let the regulars elect their ticket if
they can. Senator Don Cameron was
told what his colleague had said. and
was not at ali surprised thereat. He
remarked that he was satisfied the Inde-
pendents did not intend to accept any
! offer made to them.
The case of rgeant John Mason, the
soldier who attempted to shoot the as.
sassin Guiteau, is still pending before
the President. He is Iot determined
upon his action in regard to it, but the
general impression among those best cal
culated to judge is that he is not disposed
to interfere with the sentence of the court
martial which tried the case.
1t has been known for some time thai
the administration desires 10 have MI
Lowell retire from the English Mission
and il he persists in his determination
not to volunteer his resignation he will
be recalled. 1t is expected that Mr.
|
Bancroft Davis will then succeed him
but it cannot be stated just when thu
change will occur. AUGUST.

srARr1Na A CORPORATION.

bIAhIlNt a COhPOhhIlONs
There is a sonorous ring about the
words Incorporated under the Laws of
the State of New York." as attached to
the prospectus of new Company, which
appeals to the public for subscriptions. |
1t sounds solid and safe, and as if all the |
wise old owls of the Legislature had
sounded. weighed and dissected the
scheme, and set upon 1t the seal of their
dignitied approval. This was the old
idea, but the faith and trust it implt
has had some pretty hard shocks, by the
experience of some of the confding share
holders in the mining companies, which
have been foated here by the thousands.
And, bless your soul, when you come to
sift the thing down, you are astonished
to find how easy matter it has been to
become body corporate under the laws
of New York.
From lS48 to 1875 it took no more per
sons to make corporation, than it did
to make row. Three could do the bus
iness. In 1875 the number was increase d
7 to FIVE. In either case, all thoy had to
do, was to sign and swear to certificate
giving the name of the corporation, its
! objects, the NJ minal capital stock, and
the number of shares, the term OF pro
, posed existence, tn, location of business
+ and the Dames OF those who are to man
age the company for the first year. Hav-
} ing filed copy of this certificate with
the County Clerk and another with the
Secretary of State the three or five mer,
e were ready for business under such high
, sounding name as they might choose to
q edopt. For less than dollar the Ger.
tifcate could be filed, and that being
n done, the law had been complied with.
t What wonder that corporations multipli.
| ed until there was hardly hole in the
e ground in the mining territories, that was
not represented among the companies
I "organized under the laws of the State oi
o New York." A law was passed last win
4 ter which imposed further duties upor
those who desire to become corporate
body, and which increased the fees fol
certificates, filing, recording. etc., SO tha
it now costs from $40 to $50 to becom,
incorporated in this State, and this viii
, tend to lessen the number of new and ir
? responsible companies.

doubt, the system Of cold-producing will

While upon the subject of buildings

vention comes to mind. said. in re-

curious to see what manner of thing it
might be. InquIring as to it of leading
architect, he was emphatic in saying that
it was one of the most important applica-
tions of science yet made TO common use.
It is something like friedrich, butso con-
structed that it is absolutely fire. proof in
the fercest fame, it may be sawed, planed,
grooved, turned with lathe, nailed
screwed and generally treated as ordinary
lumber may be. Entire houses, with the
exception of posts and beams (which
naturally would be made of iron J. may be
constructed of the new lumber, and would
no more burn down, than the cupola in
an iron furnace. OF about one-half the
weight of ordinary brick, it will be es.
pecially applicable to the walls, partitions,
etc., of high buildings, because the
weight resting on the foundations and
walls will be 30 much less than when
bricks are used for this purpose. Except
for textile strength, it has all the advant.
ages of wood, with the inestimable ad-
vantage of being as incombustisle as iron.
Perhaps, in the year 1900, you or
may come across an old paper containing
this letter and may laugh at the interest
felt at this time, in what may then be as
far behind current improvements, as to
be obsolete, but don't concern myself
with what may be the newest thing TWEEN
ty years hence, and 1 welcome whatever
comes to the front in 1882, which may
promise to add to our comfort and oul
safety.
