A private letter was received yester-
day from Washington which contains
something Of interest to our home peo-
pile. The recipient consents to the
following excerpts being made public:
at is difficult to learn the presidents
mind about the officers you mention.
One thing is certain, David is doomed.
Meldrum has worked up that fortune
in-eight-years story with good effect,
and he has some very interesting anl-
davits in this connection. Carey and
Meldrum are spinning things. Nor
gan's place is sought after by two men
from New England, who II interested
in cattle out there. Blair and Brown
are the laughing stock at the attorney
generals, and the clerks intimate that
they have done each other up. Sener's
place and Blair's, too, is sought after
by three men from Pennsylvania, one
from New York, and the irrepressible
Ohio man. The attorney general says
he has been besieged by the friends or
all the applicants, but he is very reti-
cent. The presidents reply to all who
insist upon vacancies being filled is,
that there is plenty Of time, and the
present incumbents are attending to
b lsiness.n

Philadelphia and New York.

Sath IN fhlladelphla Times
was talking last night with Mr.. J. w.
Bookwalter. of Ohio, a wealthy and we'll
read man of action, about Philadelphia. Said
he: II rather prefer Philadelphia to New
York L think the people there do not rush
so hard for the unnecessary and get more
time and consideration out of life"
That feeling often returns to men not
sucked into the engulhng pusi ness passions
here. All these rich men are warriors;
every day is a battle. In Willard fell a
young Alexander. In Gould young Han
nibal rises every day and starts his
war on Rome. In every leader
here is the instinct OF war, and why,
therefore. do we expect the soft-eyed arts
and steady hteratures to supercede the multi
plication table and the cosmos and degrees
of bridgesf
To expect the cool results of times in New
York is merely to encourage cynicism and
whining. We are carriers and drivers and
contractors OF the globe. delivering the har-
vests Of a new world to mankind and receiv-
ing the mighty levies of immigration. As
well expect Noah and his family, while tax
ing all the animals Of the world In out OF the
rain, to sit down in one OF the h~atchways Of
the Ark and paint a picture.
There was a time, however, when Noah
got ashore and he at once said, "Let the arts
be planted" and he stood for the first model.

@Then a woman who has only trivial du-
higher salary than she can at any other busi-
nesA"
Il don't know what salaries are In other
businesses. But a good utility woman can
command from $50 to $40 a week. The sala-
rieS range down from that to the chorus and
ballet and supers-Sl5. $40 and IS week.
II suppose the personal expenses OF &c
tresses must be pretty large-I mean for
dresser
"Yes; o~utrageously SO; 5000 and $4,000
for a dress are not unusual figures
Then an actress who gets an engagement
has to be something Of a capitalism
"Oh, no, she gets her manager to make an
advance for dressesr
"And he generally doesPr
Eyes, II he has the cash"
The dress question has let In a whole lot of
women who base their engagements entirely
on dresses. They drive up to a managers
othce with a travelling van and ask him out
to inspect their wardrobe. There was a burst
OF wardrobe women some seasons ago, when
Bessie Darling and Mrs Ponfsroy and half a
score OF others blazed their way into notoristy
with diamonds and dresses. Then came Mod
jeska and a few other foreign stars, whose
garments brought into existence the female
dramatic critic who wrote up their skirts and
told how much they cost
At present there Ia a decline In the dress
business. A few independent actresses, like
Clara Morris, nave shown tina elegance of
costume is not always necessary when there
Ia dramatic ability, and the new order of
melodrama does not give the same oppor-
tunity to the dressmaker that the French so
ciety play did.

There are three things that ought to
be said about this bill and we might as
well say it as anybody else.
In the first place, we think that the
defendant ought to be required II state
in his affidavit, when the evidence of
the witnesses is material, that the
court may determine whether the
same is material or not, and il SO,
the prosecution should have the right
to admit that II the witness was
present he would testify to what Is set
forth in the affidavit. This would often
times prevent q delay in the trial Of a
case and save useless expense to the
county.
So far as the commission Of perjury
is concerned, no endorsement of the
legislature would be or is necessary to
make it such, as it is so as the law
stands at present. This, however,
ought not to apply to that portion of
the affidavit which undertakes to state
what the witness will swear to, unless
1t could be shown that the defendant
knew differently at the time he made
the affidavit. If he had good reason
to believe what he swore to when he
made the affidavit, this ought to pro-
tect him from the charge Of perjury.
Were it otherwise, some desinging per-
son might contaminate the witnes and
the conviction of a felony of the de-
PENDANT originally perhaps charged
with a slight offense might follow. We
might further add that the law should
be made to apply to not only cases"
but also to preliminary examinations.
hearings on habeas corpus, etc.
The bill is now in the hands of the
council Judiciary committe, and will
no doubt be carefully considered.

lben: ferley foore.
Tom Corwin undertook, when a member of
the Ohio legislature, to have a law enacted
abolishing public whipping for crime. He
spoke at some length In support of his meas
ure, and an elderly gentleman, who repre-
sented a rural district, answered as follows:
Mr.. Speaker, the gentleman is not as old as
l am, and has not seen as much Of the prac-
teal operation OF the system of punishment
which he desires to abolish. When l lived in
Connecticut, il a fellow stole a horse or cut
up other antics, we used to tie him up and
give him a real good thrashing, and he al
ways cleared right out, and we never saw
anything more Of him. It's the best way of
eating rid of the rogues that ever was tried,
and without expense to the state" Corwin
rose to reply; Mr.. Speaker, 1 have often been
puzzled to account for the vast immigration
from Connecticut to the west, but the gentle
man last up has explained it to my satisfac-
toni

EDITOR BAIRD denies the report that
he took charge of the DEMOCRATIC
LEADER in order to bring himself to
the front as a candidate for delegate to
congress, and we are inclined to think
that the Boomerang's correspondent is
not dead sure'' of what he says on
this point.-Sun.
Brother Slack is right We had
noticed the reference in the Boomerang
correspondence but paid no attention to
it. thinking it a mild invention to
'tickle the ears of the groundlings."
But as the rumor has, si%ngularly,
gained credence, it ought to be set at
rest.
The DEMOCRATIC LEADER was not
bought by the new company in the in
terest Of any individual, but in the In
terest of the democratic party, and of
the people. 1t has no candidate for
congress to boost, but will support the
choice of the convention.
Ordinarily no attention should be
paid to such rumors, but this case is an
exception. The gentleman alluded to
has not only not connected himself
with the DEMOCRATIC LEADER in order
to become a candidate for delegate, but
he positively refuses to be considered
as a candidate, and would not take the
nomination If rendered, (which tender
is confessedly unlikely to be made),
and for the best of reasons,-hei cannot
afford either financially or profession
ally to run for the place.

Colonel Babbitt said yesterday in tins
council when called upon to define, az
the legislative g~rammarian, what the
meaning OF the word "output, - as
used in the cattle bill, means That
1t was well understood in this part at
all events and that when Webster gets
up another dictionary he will be COM
PEELED to recognize 1t as n Of the
words which is coined by the people as
they progress and nov along. Though
said in a half TESTING way it will prove
to be a true prophesy.

wi.ne.... In CrlmInal ca.e..

One of the council committees was
on yesterday afternoon considering a
bill In regard to procuring the atten-
dance Of witnesses or the part of de-
PENDANTS In criminal cases when they
are without the means to procure their
attendance. 1t Is but little different
from the law already In force. Four
witnesses can be had as a matter Of
course, but If the defendant desires
more than that number, then the de
PENDANT must swear that he has not the
means to that end, and IL they do not
state the truth in regard to this matter,
they are to be considered guilty OF per-
ury, etc.
