IT DON'T see anything between you

promises to see IL executed" were the
words of President Cleveland to dele
CATION of oiiice.seekers. There is grim
humor in this, which must have been
particularly tantAlizing to those who
have toiled these many years in hope of
political reward. If the President had
simply told them that tho law stood be-
tween them and tho offices they would
speedily have devised way to clrcum-
vent the statute. But when he added
that his promise to execute the law was
also barrier to their attaining the spoils
of political warfare there was no chance
for continuing tho interview. 1t was a
very polite, but effective, no.

Now THAT Manning and Higgins are

1T is intimsted in semi-otlicial way
that the repudiating faction Of the Ten
nessee Democracy Is not to receive ad-
ministration recognition, and The Ma
TIoNAL REPUBLICAN in this particular is
with the President. The fact that even
those bonds of that state which are held
by the trustees of the Peabody educa-
tional fund are still repudiated Is a
source of shame and regret to honest
Democrats and Republicans alike in all
parts of the union.

AFTER the horse is stolen the Senate
locks the stable door. After its treaties
have been given to the public it removes
from them the curtain of secrecy. The
Senate will have to secure some patent
process for preserving its exclusiveness
If it wishes 20 continue it. Some of its
Anticipated notions arc as nonsensical in
these days as the customs of the eifeto

THE death OF State Senator Bridges
again reduces the Illinois legislature to
tie on joint ballot and renders more re-
mote the possibility of electing a successor
to Gen. Logan in the United States SEN

more than one Senator before another
legislature is chosen he will probably DO

IT is considered altogether unlikely
that any of the foreign ministers now in
service will escape decapitation for many

is to be retained is denied at tho State

Senator Vance stuItiiies HIMSELF.

EDITOR NATIONAL REPUBLICAN, In his Courier
Journal interview, Sept. 2s, 1885, Senator Vance
grossly and inexcusably slandered southern
Republicans and bascly stultifes his own
record. With your indulgence will prove 1t.
Southern Republicans" he says, fought to be
turned out of Office because they are dlsrcputa.
BILE, They gained their positions by going over
10 the negroes, by becoming traitors TO their
fellow.citizens, and outragng every principle
of the southern people" Senator Vance does
not believe this and his own action gives II
the lie Now for the proof. On the 10th OF
september the newspapers announced that s,
q. Beaver. OF North Carolina, clerk In the
Treasury Department, had been dismissed,
beaver Is well known here as an unswerylng
Republican. He worked zcalously for Blaine
Ill the last campaign, and contributed his
money to secure his election. 1t Is reported
here on good authority that Mr.. Beaver has
been reinstoted at the urgent request of Senator
Vance. Is II true? VIII Senator Vance DENY
~ A word from him will settle IL. Iftruc, he
has appointed 'disrepulabe" person and
traitor TO his fellow.ctizcns" to Office The
truth about IL is the senator was mad at the
Democratic administration, and took his spite
out In kicking at southern Republicans who
were well out of his way. Certainly he did not
intend to kick Mr.. Beaver, who had nlrendy
cen kicked out OF Office on the false plea OF
Democratic economy.

The father Of Col Lewis Washington, Hon.
George Corbin Washington, resided for
many years at Dumbarton Heights in
Georgetown, and represented the Rockville
district OF Maryland In Congress-; was pres
ident Of the Chesapeake and Ohio canal,
and held other public positions. lie was the
son of William Augustine and Jane Wash
ington, son and daughter Of two Of Gen.
Washington's brothers, John Augustine,
own brother by the second marriage 70
Mary Ball, and Augustine, elder half
brother by the first marriage of Gen. Wash
ington's father to Jane Butler WIN.
d'Iiertburne Washington is thus the great
great-grandson OF brother and half
brother Of the pater patrp. aud on
his mothers side is directly descended from
Betty Washington, only sister of the gen
eral, who married Col. Fielding Lewis, an
officer OF the revolutions; their grand
daughter, Betty Lewis, having married Col
Bassett, the new consul's maternal grand
father. The Bassetts were an old colonial
family, whose first Virginia ancestor came
to the colony from England-a royalist ref.
ugee-in 1919, after execution OF Charles
!: Mr.. Washington's father, Col. Lewis
Washington, was conspicuously connected
with the dramatic incidents of the John
Brown raid, when he was serving as aid on
the stall OF Gov. Henry A, Wise. lie was, be-
fore the war, well known and popular In
Washington society. The young man,
whose picture and pedigree are given, bears
remarkable likeness to his distinguished
Washington ancestors, and gives promise
OF character worthy of his blood.
lie was born in Hanover county, Va,
June 30, 1868, and 1t was not until the close
OF the war that the family were enabled to
return to their home, near lIarper's Ferry,
as Col. WashingtOn's property had been
conflscated, though he was not connected
with the war, and spent most of that period
III Europe. The government having re.
leased the estate, the settlement OF ID re-
CURED its sale, after which Mrs. Washing
ton and her son took up their residence In
Charlestown, where he attended school for
several years. At 10 he took one course of
military instruction at the MARYLAND Col
lcge, and when not Is was appointed
ON the corps of civil engineers of the West
Virginia Central and Pittsburg railroad 1t
is curious coincidence that young Washing
ton should have begun his career In the
same profession, about the same age, and
on the same ground In the Allegheny
mountains where his great-granduncle, Gen.
Washington, began more than 100 years
before. Upon leaving the railroad
work to accept position as agent |
for two large firms OF Norfolk and |
Baltimore lumber dealers, Mr.. Washington |
was highly commended by Gen. Sickles,
chief engineer of his corps, and Mai. War |
Held for his energy ability, and fidelity He |
was strongly Endorsed for his present posi- |
lion by Senators Camden and Kenna, eN.
Senator III. &. Davis, Gov. Wilson, Repre- |
sentative Wilson, Judge jackson, and other
distinguished West Nirginians.
