WASHINGTON

Washington. 12.-The House

port with favorable recommendation

Bliss often returned to New York
to attend to private business. In
bis claim for expenses he made
charges for railroad fares from
Washington to New York ard from
New York to Washington several
times. / inquired at one time what
was to be allowed Bill g, and was
startled to learn he was to get 300
a day. Afterwards, ia his expense
account, l t und charge for wash>
ing. It is rather remarkable that an
attorney should charge in his ex.
pense account for washing his linen.
Witness sad the compensation OF
Bliss was extravaganza, u jus'if1-
eble and unearned in every
respec-. Ample comp ensa ion
for what Bliss did, con-
sidering the condition in which
he found the csses, would have been
twenty thousand. The cases were
improperly handled. The appoint
ment of Bliss was wholly a political
appointment The witness received
his testimony yesterday aud said he
had omitted to say before President

OGDEN OCCURRENCES.

We are informed that, as the
Utah Central train, which arrives
in Ogden at 4.25 pm. was coming
ia yesterday, some parties who were
pigeon shooting near the Web, r
River, shot at pigeon which flew
near the traiR, and the bullet passed
in proximity to the cars; so c'ose,
in fact, that it was heard to whizz
just over the top o. them. We would
advise these gentlemen to be more
careful in the future, as such
thopghtlessne might sometime re-
suit in an irreparab!e accident.

ton. The 7rat was impossible for
come time.
West OF the new bridge recently
built over the Websr river, near
Riverdsle, the water is making
rapid ioroads on the bank. It will
become necessary to fix the bank by
pilipg in rock and brush, or the
bridge will be left where it will do
no COED, about the time high water
sets in. The river has already been
very nigh, but has now receded on
account Of the cold weather. Right
now is the proper time to look after
it, and the interested authorities
should see that the bridge he pro.
tected. -O.D. Herald.

Congress and tho District.

Tho present session Of congress will be
mainly devoted TO the consideration and
passage Of appropriation bills. While the
people of Washington in common with
the citizons Of the country at large will
be interested in all measures for tho ex.
pendituro Of tho national income, their
greatest concern will bo in relation to tho
character Of the appropriations for this
district.
Upon that point The NATIONAL RE-
PUBLICAN has but one opinion. We be.
liovo that congress should make liberal
appropriations for this district and that
no misplaced notions Of economy should
be allowed to delay, Interfere with, or
prevent tho great works of improvement
necessary to render tho nations capital
the most beautiful and healthful city on
tho faco of tho globe. That its destiny is
to become such is manifest. Already the
American people are proud Of the beauty
and interesting features Of their capital.
and however 1t may have been In regard
to appropriations for othor purposes, we
arc sure no member Of congress has re-
ceived censure from his constituents for
the exercise Of q wise liberality in deal
ing with the improvements Of the city Of
Washington.
In providing funds for carrying on the
reclamation OF the Potomac flats and
otherwise improving our river front for
constructing sewerage system and a
water supply systom that looks to the
health and comfort not only Of our present
population but of the much greater popu-
lation Of tho future, members of congress
arc not only legislatiug for the benefit Of
those who permanently reside here, but
for the benefit of themselves and their
constituents as well. The senators and
representatives must live here for good
proportion Of their terms, and in the
course Of business and sightseeing
throngs of their constituents spend more
or less time in the capital city, and thus
all acquire degree of personal interest
in the sanitary condition Of Washington,
aud their comfort Is ministered to by the
same improvements that add to the COM
fort ana convenience OF our resident pop
ulation.
The district commissioners have clearly
indicated in their report what the imme-
diato necessities of tho district are, and
congress could not do better than to adopt
their recommendations in regard to the
works of necessary improvement now in
progress or projected. Tho American
people will have nothing but cordial ap'
proval for q course Of action upon the
part of congress that, while carefully
avoiding extravaganza. will yet deal with
the wants of the district in spirit oil
generous appreciation of our peculiar de
pendence upon the national legislature t
do for US what all other American citie
have right and power to do for them
solves.
