WASHINGTON LETTER,
From Our Regular Correspondent ]


WAsHINGgoN. ID. e., Feb. i3, 1885.
One of the new members of Congress
who seems abunlanly able to take care Of
himself and Congress nj the same time, is
Mr.. O'Neill, of Missouri, whose speeches
upon the Indian question and the River
and Harbor bills are most refreshing IN
these days Of jobs and jobhery. Seldom in
the annals of The House has a young man
!, all at once plunged into snch popularity
among the House members of both parties,
who never fail TO he all attention wien
this gentleman from Missouri gets the
floor. The secret of Mr.. O'Neil's present
success, and which promises him m"st
brilliant future, is the sincerity of h-
style, his ready and altogether original wit
which never fails to he pointed without
being offensive. The measures with which
Mr.. O'Neill has been chiefly identified are
those which have been directly for the In
ierest OF the great public and especially
that part of it represented by the indus
trial classes.
The crarks throughout the country are
already afier Mr.. Cleveland. There is not
much fear of such fellows rs DIR. Ray,
who has had II emission" from Heaven or
some other place To remove" the new
President, bmt there il something like II
threatened calamity IN prospect from the
demand that will be made on the Execm-
taplishe,l customs. Here comes an appeal
tor instance, from II handful Of so-cajlcd
temperance women in Washington, among
whom | readily recognize some M the
wives OF gentlemen who nightly search in
VAN for the part Of the dooi to Introduce
the laIch key. because Of cold tea, and
these persistent females petition Mr.. Cleve
land to Danish wine from tue White
| House. There IL another roterie of wo-
nea here who desire and probably will
compel the President to acce,le Ia their de-
mnnds upon the character of the compan,
and the social festivities of the Mansion
In this respect Mr.. Arthur has allowed
himself TO he hampered Ia y deeper ex'en
than amy predecessor except Hayes, and
Udcle Grover escapes them he has m0r'
veriebrae than he has been given credi
for having.

Many poslmnsters in various parts OF
the country, whose terms of Office will
expire soon after The 4th of March, have
sent in their resignaiions, asking for
reappointment for another term or sug-
gesling the name of a successor. A large
number have called at the Postolce
Department and have rendered their rcsig-
nations with similar requests, and they are
frequently accompanied by delegations ol
politicians 10 assist them. They seem to
think that the Republican Administration,
in its dying day, will do anything to pro-
cure the retention Of ns many Republicans
IN Office as possible. Each aud adj of the
ready resigners have been seut home with
the brief information that no re.ignations
will lie accepted under such circumstances,
aud, that If they maintain their tenure,
even for the remainder of their current
terms, it will he on account of the gracious
conservatism ot Mr., Cleveland. The
President and Department heads utterly
| refused TO embarrnsS the incautias Execn-
tive by engaging in such lrickery. Van

This IA about the most coma,enlall.
thing to be said for the President md
heads Of departments during their admin

should have been accepted on sight, how
ever, aud they forever retired from holding
Office. Il il lime To retire all such crank

1ke editor OF the PerrysbuIg JoUnct
thinks that the Republican mc,abers Of
the Legislature are catering to the saloon
vote by refusing 10 nssist the Democrats
IN passing n Constitutional Amendment,
and are therefore wrong. The Jovruoi has

The court has done Its work, MD there is

responsible for this, but the Democracy IL.
Having won their Victory snd being re-
sponsible Tor what In already done and
what may bc done by the present lcgisla-

That ia all right from political stand
point. But It is becoming all political
and no practical legislation. The people
have occasion to become very tired Of such
work. The indications are from some Of

in power IL will do 40 by the influence Of
the Liquor League, and In these degeuer-
ate times men elected to Office by any
leag,e-the closer allied to the dlvil the
better-tliey are very careful about max.
ing laws that will curtail the liberties oI

men to represent the people, was te enact

We hope our new Common Pleas Judge
will not have NJ much respect for the
clause of the present ditch laws granting
discretionary power to the Commissioners,
as his predecessors have had. II ditch
robberes are to be legilizsi, let il be done
by the higher Courts which are more dis.
,ant from the people. The di,ches have
done such for Northwestern Ohio, but the
Com missioners OF some Of the counties
have outrageuusly ly abused their power in
some cnses in years past.
The Ohio ditch laws are framed by Sur.
veyors with view To large jobs and fees,
anil not by owners of lands which are in
need Of bitches, and who are desiroiis of
draining them at the least possible cost.
Any further legislation, except to repeal
all existing laws on the subject, should be
watched with jealous eyes by The tax pay.

We are pleased 10 see at least one paper.

ditch law in this county, under the nsur-
ped authority OF bonding the county TO

the land owners have no long submitted TO
the Outrageous robberies to which they
have been subjected. With the courts

redress? We are told that while Tyler and
Nsehan were attornies for several years
for the commissioners they never lost II
case, and Il was not necessary for them 10
give much thought or worry over the sub
ject either. For this service they were
paid 81 800 or $4,000 year out Of the
Taxpayers own money TO fight them with
when they were compelled 10 seek legal
Ssarsss from worse Than highway robbery.
And we are told that there ia not
shadow Of Law authorizing the commits

Jake Foster, OF the Van Vert Bulletin,

following law and order case from the
