WASHINGTON Letter.

ORION OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT.
Washington, January 20, 1884.
Congress is busy at work, as the dai
ly reports from committees prove,
though as yet the proceedings on the
floor of both Houses have not reach ed
the highest point Of interest. A large
part of the general legislation that wi II
be considered during the present ses-
sion has already been reported, or is in
a forward state in committee, but the
most important bills have not yet come
in. The Banking anil Currency com
mittee has made no sign; that on APP
preparations is still silent; and the
Ways and Means has thus far been en-
gagel in attention to private bills. 1t
is expected that the tariff will be taken
up in about a week, and then will come
the tug Of war. Representative Nor
rison and Hewitt are each marking out
the way for tariff bill of his own, and
experts are at work for bot h of them.
Within the last few days special inter.
est has been directed to shipping bills,
and cuisines interests involved are
earnestly engaged in watching legisla-
ton. Nineteen Boards of Trade and
Chambers of Commerce have been hold
ing convention in the city, composed
of delegates representing commercial
bodies of New York, Philadelphia, Bos
ton, Baltimore, Chicago, Cincinnati,
indianapolis, st. Paul, San Francisco,
and other cities. In their report urg-
ing Congress to benefit the shipping in
terests by legislation, the idea embod-
led is, that though the tariff seems to be
the question of the near future in
the thought of the country, the most
pressing question of the moment, and
that for which constituencies are call
ing with greatest emphasis, relates to
the revival of the American Mercantile
marine. There is further hint to the
effect, that, should this exigent question
be dealt with broad, radical, judicious
and effective manner by the present
Congress, the country will be disposed
to pass lenient judgement upon it,
for whatever else it may do, or omit to
do. The rise and decadence of Ameri-
can shipping is also briefly sketched,

premium on crime, by offering big SAL
aries to noted criminals, who escaped
from the meshes of Justice to exhibit
themselves. Two of these dives now
has on exhibition in addition to other
ATTRACTIONS" Sergeant Mason, and the
seaman Slater who was SO badly abused
at sea by Captain Slocum, that the
Captain is now serving term in prls-
on. When the news arrived here that
young Mutt had been acquitted on the
charge of numbering Dukes, an enter
prising manager Of one of the Museums
telegraphed to him, offering him 81 900
a week, for three weeks, to come on
here and exhibit himself. A reply has
not yet been received, but should the
young fellow be as foolish as the rest
he will probably accept the tempting
offer. The vile sensational literature
which our children so readily find, is
bad enough, but the exhibitions of this
kind are much worse, for they much
more violently inlame the imagination
of boys, all Of whom may wish ito do
something to make themselves IA
nous, and, weakened as moral senti-
ment is at present in all classes, the
boys only too readily yield to abnormal
vagaries. A rather startling fact was
developed at the annual meeting of the
Society for the Suppression of Vice.
During last year no less than forty-two
arrest Of boys were made in this city,
charged with murder or felonious as
sault. If facts like these do no not
arouse public attention to interfere,
public morality must be at very low
ebb.
The brazan assurance of some Of the
managers or getters up of mas ked balls
is wonderful. Most of these affairs out
side of the regularly established carni-
val fetes of we'll known societies, are
gotten up by the proprietors of shady
resorts, and the manufacturers Of spe-
cialIy bad brands Of champagne for the
OCCASION. Fast women are allowed to
80 i'll free, fancy costumes are even fur
nlshed them, and all to bring on the
men and make them spend money
Now one of these rascally panderers
has taken the elite directory and sent
out over three thousand invitations to
the leading ladies of New York society
There was a storm in many a household
when husbands came home and were
shown the garishly illuminated cards
of invitation. One man wanted to go
to the fellow place of business then
and there and thrash him for insulting
his wife, but her persuasion that that
would only drag their name into pub
Lefty, and give the fellow a chance to
advertise himself and his ball, induced
him to refrain from admins tering a
we'll deserved lesson.
