WASHINGTON LETTER.
lvrom Our Regular CorrespondsntI
WAsursaros, Dec. 8. 1884.

WAsHrNaToN, Dec. 8, 1884.
The first week Of the possible thir-
teen OF the Congressional session has
passed and it is difficult to find
enough proceedings to basean obitu-
ary on. An immense number OF bills
have been introduced anda boundless
lot OF talk indnlged in, but when that
is said there is not much to tell. The
committees however are hard at work,
and some Of them promise to submit
some bills before the holidays.
The House Committee on post
offices and post roads have q number
Of important bills on their list, to
which they intend to ask the early
attention of Congress. Among these
are the postal telegraph bill, another
which regulates the mail contract sys-
tenn more carefully, third which
changes the basis Of compensation to
/
railroads for carrying the mails, and q
fourth which deals with the letter
rate Of postage. All these are mat
ters Of Importance and should get .
hearing. 1t is to be doubted, how
ever, If the committee is wise in put
ting the postal Telegraph at the
head Of their list, as this subject is
one of great difficulty and sure to ex-
cite protractsd debate. They would
do better to follow the example of
the shipping and public lands com
mittee, and present first to the house
those measures on which there will
be little or no controversy.
The capstone of Washington mon
ument was set on Saturday at 2
o'clock in the presence Of a small
party of invited guests. Although
the obelisk is now completed, there
is much work still to be done. Prob
abably the most important matter re.
naming is the design for the base Of
the monument, which has not been
selected yet. Much finishing work
remains to be attended to on the in
terror. The memorial stones are are
placed in the interior wall.

In the FREE PRESS of Aug. 23d
1883, I read the faithful description
Of the storm at "Last Island, Louisi
ana, written by Dan. Dennet.
This article recalls to my memory
also q fearful and tragic incident, OF
which I was an eye witness.
Having been released from prison
in Mexico, I returned via Tamipico,
State of Tamaulipas, Mexico, to New
Orleans. There I met some fifteen
OF my old comrades, who came there
from Vera Cruz, who by some cause
must have been detained longer than
their other companions, for ere that
the rest had all returned to Texas.
At New Orleans the Texas Consul
procured for us a free passage to
Texas, on the steamer Merchant"
1t belonged to Chas. Morgan, and
was the only steamer plying between
the United States and Texas, and at
that only semi monthly, for the state
as well as the people were in
manner bankrupt
With joyous hearts we went on
board Of said steamer about the 4th
of Sept 1912, for after over 8 years
absence and a great deal Of suffering
as prisoners Of war in Mexico, we
hoped 10 see our adopted Republic
Of Texas, and friends again

A posTHUMoUs PAPER OF THE LATE DR.
cAYToN ERHARD.
The following was sent us by the au
thor over q year ago, and we retained
it to come in It's proper place in the
narrative of the Santa Fe Expedition
on which he was then engaged. His
death left said manuscript unfinished
from the departure Of the company
as prisoners from the Rio Grande in
to Mexico, including their prison life
there and journey home. We were
promised continuance OF this part Of
the narrative by cousin OF the au
thor, but having ceased to expect it
now give this concluding paper, mar
rating the writer's perilous voyage
from New Orleans home. We re.
gard it as the most interesting of his
many contributions to the FREE PRESS
combining the charms of romance
and tragedy beyond many admired
works of fiction, yet strictly true
Disaster seemed to follow the mem
bers of that ill-starred expedition to
the end. The shipwreck episode is
we'll and graphically told. The il
lustrations of men deserting the
drinking bar and throwing away their
money in the dread presence of i'm.
pending death, are impressive in,
cidents which cannot fail to bear a
weighty moral to the rejecting mind.
