Washington Letter.
REGULAR Correspondence.

WASHINGTON, May 18th, 1850.
The suspension last week of several post
masters for offensive partizanship shows
that the administration if slow is AT least
sure Bet the continued illness OF first as
sistant Postmaster General Hay Is serious
misfortune 1t is not improbable that the
failure to discharge the partisan cross
roads postmasters in Illinois has had much
to do with the democratic disaster in that
state 1t may have been the cause of the
surprising apathy among the democrats,
rank and file, which gave to Senator Lo-
gan's candidate for the state senate ma
iority of several hundreds in a district that
last November gave Cleveland a plurality
of nearly $500.
So long as the memory of most demo
Gratis now living extends the cry of their
party, when out of power, has always been
for retrenchment in public expenditure;
and its practice, when in power, has for
the most part been in the line of its pro
fession. Now it has been discovered by
Mr. Manning and others high in authority,
and will continue to be discovered the
more they investigate the matter, that the
working force of some Of the departments
is capable of considerable reduction; that
the pay rolls are too large, and that much
money has annually been expended, ever
since the republican party first came into
power, for which no adequate service
has been rendered. Extensive reductions
will soon take place.
The Cabinet ladies have discontinued
their receptions for the season, and have
followed the example of Miss Cleveland
and Mrs. Hendricks in taking needed rest,
Mrs. Whitney and Mrs. Manning are in
New York, Mrs Villas is still in Wisconsin,
and Mrs. Bayard is making arrangements
to leave Washington for summcrsr rest in
Delaware at the SeCretary's country seat.
When the Secretaries families are settled
here next season there will be a good deal
of youth and beauty in the cabinet circle.
1t will include Miss Endicott, daughter
of the Secretary of War, Miss Villas, Miss
Lamar, the two youngest daughters of the
Secretary of State, Misses Mamie and Flo
renee Bayard, and Miss Manning, daughter
of the Secretary of the Treasury. Only
two of these young ladies are formally in
society, but they will form very attrac-
tive group next winter
Social dissipation promises to be very
dull for the next few weeks and the devo-
tees Of fashion are giving themselves up to
relaxation from the ar duous duties of the
CAV season.

All kinds Of schemes and tricks are re-
sorted to by unprincipled persons to obtain
unfair advantages over their neighbors.
| The latest and most dishonorable of these
| that has come to our notice is one by which
certain manufacturers of baking powder
have souIht TO prejudice consumers against
the use of other brands that have an estab-
| lished reputation rs the best and purest in
! the market, for the purpose of introducing
their own. Their method, we are inform
! ed, is 10 heat IA can of baking powder of a
well known brand over lamp or stove,
when, if there is a gas given off having the
OdOr of ammonia, the powder Is condemn
ed as being made Of ammonia and unfit for
use. The prejudices of the unsuspectlng
are thus excited against the baking pow
der submitted to the so-called test, and the
grocer who has quantity Of it on hand
suffers n serious loss in consequence.
II the intelligent consumer will stop a
moment to think, she will readily perceive
that this test" if successful, proves nothing
but the superiority of the baking powder
tested. The aim of all baking powder ma
kerS is to produce an article that shall most
readily, under use give off its leavening
gas, The powder that does this with mo-
derate heat, ut the same time evolving the
largest quantity, is scientifically the best.
There is probably not an article prepar-
ed for food that cannot be manipulated to
prove that somethong is wrong about it ;
and when person goes into kitchen or
before a housekeeper who is not presumed
to understand chemical relations and per
forms an experiment of even the simplest
character, it is not difficult to impress one
that something awful is the matter. AS to
baking powders, we could suggest dozen
tests that would he as ridiculous in giving
fair idea of the relative merits TO an
unrestricted mind as the one here men,
toned.
The true domestic value of a baking pow.
der consists in its purity, wholesomeress and
leavening power. 1t is only the chemist,
with his chemical appliances, who can de,
termine these qualities, scientifically and
exactly. Aside from this, the best test for
a baking powder is to try it in making
bread, and see which makes the most and
best To this practical test all the estab.
lished brands have been put, and house
Keepers have very generally made up their
minds which they prefer, and the tricksters
will find ultimately that a brand that has
been a household favorite for years will
not be displaced by reason of any tricks
which they may show.

At Quincy the other day, an insane
man, temporarily confined in the county
Jail, was found in his cell limp and
apparently lifcless. A doctor was sum.
moned, and, after an examination, pro
nounced the man dead. The coroner came
with his jury to hold an inquest, but, in the
midst of the proceedings, the corpse came
10 life. The jury walked off, but the colo-
ner hung around for some time, waiting
for the man to die This he failed to do,
and was soon as well as ever. He only
had a fit. In La Sale one day last year,
Coroner Clendenen summoned jury and
proceeded to Il house where he intended TO
hold an inquest but on his arrival he
found the supposed corpse had imposed
on him and was far from being dead. Such
ghastly jokes as these should not be per
petrated on IA coroner. They are officials
whose feelings should not be triied with.
