Washington Special 10 Courier Journal,
Since the 4th of March last Mr.. Hendricks
perhaps enjoyed more notice and respect from
the masses of his party than ne ever did be
fore. The occasions of his visits to Washing
ton and other places have been attended with
greetings so warm and cordial in their nature
that be could not understand them The last
time he was here ] chatted with him for an
hour In his room at the Willard. He told me

Where have they gone to--the little girls.
With natural manners and natural curlsp
Who lOve their dOies and like their iys.
And talked of something besides the boys?
Little old women in plenty we find,
Mature In manners and old of mind:
Little old 1irts who talk of their "beaux,"
And vie with each other in stylish clothes.
Once in the beautiful long ago,
Some dear little children ] used to know:
Girls who we're merry as lambs at play,
And laughed and rollicked the livelong day.
They thought not at all of the "style'' of their
clothes;
They never imagined that boys were ''beaux''
''Other girls brothers" and mates" were
they,
Splendid fellows to help them play.
Where are they gone to2 If you see

HIS wILLFUL son.
Young James Bayard Engaged to Marry
West Virginia Farmers Daughter.


West Virginia Farmers Daughter.
a Washington paper says: a society paper
here officially announces the engagement Of
Mr.. James Bsyard, eldest son of tue secre-
tary OF State, to Miss Deakius, of Fort Pendle-
ton, W. Va This is the sequel Of the romance
of young Bayard's experience ut sugg's
Fort, in thst State. Young Bayard, on ac-
count o! a foolish escapade with Butler Ma
none ana one or two other sons Of Senators,
ssvera years ago, was arrested by the
W ashlngton police. TINS boys were dis
charged after a slight reprimand. Mr.
Bayard was greatly mortified, and sent his
son home TO Delaware. He has since forbid
oen his return TO Washington. His father
virtually cast of his son later, rs he would
not observe his fathers wishes. Last winter
young Bayard taught school in the mountain
town Of Suggs' Fort, under the protecting
wing OF ex-senator Henry g. Davis. 1t was
during his winters residence in this pace
that young Bayard fell in love with Miss
Deakins. The latter is the daughter OF an
honest farmer. During the winter Miss Dea-
klns found employ ment at the little hotel at
Suggs' Fort. 1t was there that young Bayard
met her.
IL is said they became engaged last winter,
and that the marriage was TO take place as
soon as the Secretary's son could get an office.
lt is understood that ex-senator Henry G..
DAVIS procured the appointment Of secretary
OF Arizona Territory for young Bsvard, so as
to get him as tar away from West Virginia as
possible, aud to prevent a marriage that
would not be approved by the proud Secretary
OF State. The appointment was procured
through the joint influence Of ex-senator
DAVIS and Senator German. as the Secretary
would not even listen to the doing of anything
for his willful son. Whatever may have been
the motives of Messrs. German and Davis,
young Bayard remains loyal to his mountain
sweetheart. The official announcement of
the engagement indicates that young Bayard
will not go West until he can take Miss Dea-
kins with him as his wife. 1t is understood
that the Secretary of State still refuses to
recognize his son IN any way.

Congress conVencs tomorrow, and the
/ session promises 70 be very interesting
+ one. There will be no delay over the or
/ ganization. Senator Sherman viii be
elected President OF the Senate, and hr.
Carlisle win be reelected Speaker of the
House. Nr. Carlisle doubtless has already
decided upon the committees. 1t has been
understood all along that he would be re-
elected. And there is no reason there
fore why he shouldn't have made up his
mind about the committees days, and
even weeks, ago.
1t is probable that Mr.. Morrison will
have the Craftsmanship Of the WAYS and
Means Committee, and that Mr.. Randall
will have the Craftsmanship of the Appro-
priations Committee, but it is possible
that Mr.. Bland may not be reappointed
Chairman Of the Committee on Coinage
and Weights and Measures. In view Of
the importance which the silver issue
has assumed, it is a question whether it
would be wise 10 retain at the head of that
committee one who is SO strongly COM
mitted in favor Of the continued coinage
of silver. MIR. Bland is quoted as saying,
within the last day or two, that there
would be no silver legislation this winter.
This would seem to indicate that he will
oppose any effort to suspend silver coin
age. There is no reason to doubt that the
President entertains the same views rela-
tive to silver currency that he expressed
several months ago, and that he will APP
prove any recommendation which the Sec
rotary of the Treasury may make looking
to a suspension of silver coinage. There
is also no reason to doubt that the senti-
ment of the country is against further
coinage Of silver at present. Under the
circumstances, therefore, it would seem
to be advisable not to have pronounced
advocate OF silver at the head of the Coin
age Committee. There is no doubt that
the silver question is one Of the most i'm
portant that will come before the Forty
ninth Congress, and the Coinage Commit
tee will therefore, play very conspicu-
GUS part in its proceedings.
There is pretty certain to be tariff legis-
lation. The Democratic party is pledged
to reform the tariff, ard it cannot afford
TO delay the work any longer. AS great a
reduction in customs duties as there
ought to be may not be made, but it will
be sufficient, doubtless, to show the coun-
try that the party is earnestly in favor of
reduction.
Rivers and harbors are certain to re-
ceive more consideration than they have
for several years. The river and harbor
conventions that have been held in differ
ent parts of the country have aroused a
sentiment in favor of improving rivers
and harbors that Congressmen will hardly
care to ignore. These three subjects, VIZ
tariff, silver, and rivers and harbors-will
doubtless be the principal ones before
Congress this winter.

The letter of Hon. Samuel j. Tilden to
Mr.. Carlisle, advocating seacoast de-
fences, was read doubtless with great in
terest throughout the entire country, and
particularly in the seaboard cities.
These cities are in very de-
fenseless condition. There is nothing
to hinder iTOn-clads from approaching
and destroying any one of them. In the
event of war with a foreign country our
only defense for the protection of our
seaboard cities would be on tor
pedoes and hastily constructed earth
works, but before such work could be
constructed, or the torpedOes prepared,
the enemy might be within our harbors.
But even If there were time to construct
earthworks, we would be without guns of
sufficient calibre to make them effective.
The question of seacoast defenses has
been presented to Congress several times
within the last year or two, but the
amount that would be required to carry
out satisfactory system Of defeuses is so
large that Congress has always shirked
the responsibility OF considering il seri-
ously.
Every candid man will admit, however,
that we must have such defenses sooner
or later, and what better time is there
than the present to begin the construction
Of them. AS Mr.. Tilden says: "If we
don't make the expenditure necessary TO
provide for our seacoast defenses when
we have a surplus, and have no need to
levy new taxes, we certainty will not
make them when we no longer have a sur
plus in the Treasury"
There are two points 10 the letter which
are worthy OF particular consideration.
The first is that il would not be- wise to
make whisky free while the revenue from
it could be applied to so good a purpose
as seac asst defenses, and the second is
that at this time, when there
is such general depression, il
would be a wise thing TO use some
of the millions locked up in the
Treasury TO give employment to labor
and setting in motion new indus
tries. There is no need 10 apply the
surplus revenue TO the payment OF the
debt. The creditors don't want their
money, and there is no demand for the re.
moyal OF the whisky tax. Seacoast de-
lenses are something that the country
must have; why not, therefore, apply the
surplus, or at least a portion OF II, to the
construction OF these deiensesi
