WASHINGTON NOTES.

A disgrun'led Democratic congressman says
al had serious talk with Secretary Bayard
not long ago, warned HIM against the policy
this administration is pursuing with reference
TO appointments. / told him that Democrats
had not maintained political warfare for over ~
years just to keep their political enemies in Of
flee, and warned him that II the admnistra-
ton did not change its policy, it would become
involved in a sea Of complications. The secre-
tary looked me in the face, and, Strengthening
up, replied The sea of complications Will he
welcome in such an issue But, Mr. Secretary
pursued, let me tell you that the Democratic
masses, the men who do the voting and give
their time and their money to secure party sue.
cess will say that il Republicans osly are fit for
office, that ii a Democratic administration can't
find Democrats to fill the places, they will quit
work, and they'll do 1t, toe. To this Secretary
Bayard replied: Then popular government is
failure. If party is to administer government
only to put its followers In once, popular gov
eminent is a failure.
Secretary Lamar has sent an order to the
Kansas City State Associations to keep open
the cattle bail. Not the slightest proof has
vet been offered that the cattle which were to
be stopped are affected with any infectious ais
ease and without ssch proof Mr. Lamar de-
cdes that there is no right or power under the
Law to interfere with them. He tells the Kan
sas Association plainly that "the people OF Tex
as, Colorado, missouri ana 0tner STATES nave
equal IL not greater right to drive their live
stock through and over the trails OF the Indian
territory and the neutral strip, than yon have
TO occupy those lands with or without your
leases from Indian tribes" He has also notified
the inspectors to keep open ailestablished trails
The cattle companies that have undertaken to
grab the land used for these trails, under the
pretense OF infectious diseases, find themselves
thwarted. They tried the same game last year,
and ii was one II the few good acts OF Secre-
tary Teller's administration that be blocked
them.
Another blunder in appointments seems to be
that Of Joseph Barbere as deputy pension agent
at Philadelphia. He published book in 1865
in which be eulosizes Jefferson Davis as ''our
late beloved chef" defends Wirz, the author
of the Andersonville atrocities, as ethe muir
dered wirz; !" ssssils the late Wendell Phillips
as ''that dirty dog and fanatic. the negro thief
and slsnaercr Of southern people; pays bis re-
spects to Stanton as '.that miscreant at wash
ington. that party ghoul, and calls Lincoln "a
political scavenger." who was feefer than the
ostrich" Gin passing through Baltimore). The
administration is not responsible for bin, as he
was appointed by Gen Davis, the pension agent,
but the administration ought to see that be is
bounced. As Secretary Manning said about
Blackburn, be is ''blscdy fool instead OF a
"bloody rebel."

OLD WORLD.

RIOTS DURING THE ANNIVERSARY OF THE BAT
TIE or B0YNE.
While the anniversary OF the battle OF the
Boyne was being celebrated at Waterford, Ire,
Sunday, q number OF citizens got into row
with some drunken soldiers belonging to a
welsh regiment on garrison duty in that town.
During the hottest part OF The conflict soldier
nrfacked a civilian named Peter Grant and
plunged bayonet straight through the mans
heart. Grant fell dead. This tragedy infuri-
ssed the people, and they fell with such feroc-
ity upon the troops that the latter retreated In
fun fight into the barracks. The barrack
buiidiugs were besieged all night by the citi-
zens, who, although they were unable 10 break
IN. smashed every window in the buildings.
The excitement in the city lasted all night, and
every soldier met in the streets was attacked.
Some struggling soldiers were fearfully handled,

The Moniteur Beige denies the story about
