IN AND OUT or TOWN.

Washington now Is desert, nothing
alive in IL save THE REPUBLICAN, and my
self-myself and a few thousands of other
glorious male and female millionaires.
The mountains to-day and the pillows of
ocean are proud of their presence. The
President, relaxing from toll ut the appoint
ment wheel-tickets chiefly blanks-not
here enjoys his liberty, but far away he
VANDERBILT where bright brooks bound over
messy rocks-and 10! he fsheth. Casting
the cunning line with him behold some of
his magnificent ministers, while others IL
Illuminate diverse scenes of summer celebrity.
All our governors have run away, and the
government runs itself.
So smoothly, so safely the govern
ment does this, indeed II seems an
gest the return Of the rovers impo!-
itic, moreover, the era of reform having ar
rived and its principal object being econ
omy. IL the country might dispense with
salary payments to the President and Cabi-
net, and If such amount were appropriated
to constructing navy, or some other much
needed purpose, Fame would crown with
fadelcss laurel, for times prolonged APP
plause, the exalted, the iuimitable Demo-
cratic party! Yea, Fame would do even
more She would blot, cXpunge, and ut
terly efface her recent record relative to the
poor towcl-laundresses of the Treasury
Department, who, fromsa date immemoriaI,
have been receiving for their work ''thirty
cents per dozen,n and now must find other
employment, or perish quite, because some
greedy stranger has invaded their province
md proposed, received, and ratified n con-
tract to perform the entire labor at "forty
cents per hundred.n
But what has been in my thought all this
time is the present equal, free, and indepen-
pendent state of Washington. None OF us
here remaining are rich, none titled: there
fore we done stand in awe Of each other.
We are friends. Bearing the name of
'ciiizens,n we are truly, just now, "vil-
layers" and consequently everybody knows
everybody and all about everybody. We
pass the empty, darkened palaces and make
no reverence. The white house itsslf is
nothing but white house.
Our great ones have gone pleasuring.
Well may they find what they seek We
can sail down the Potomac at small cost,
visit the falls, or wander, without any cX-
| penso whatever, along the romantic shores
| of Rock creek, and be home again ut night,
instead Of crowded into hotel, subject tC
frets and Inconvenience innumerable aud
| mtOlerable.
1t is pleasant that in our daily walks VT
meet no superiors.
Then, happy low, lie down;
Uneasy lies the head that wears crown.

days Of the war officers and soldiers
bunkCd together, and II was not until the
military relations between officers aud prl-
Yates began TO be exacted by the exigencies
of the service that reform-and q proper
roform-wGs insured. Well, the two
"IigCis' have spoken OF were tried AMI
condt mncd, but their punishment was gen.
orally deemed TO he too severe. But con
sldeling the lax state of5lscipline existing,
Gen. DCaurcgald, in whose section OF the
joint command Of Johnston aud himself the
condemned were enrolled, determined
to make an example that would
exhibit to the army the salient fact that the
commander-ln-chief was in dead earnest to
maintain discipline. Strenuous efforts
were made TO save these men, and kilograms
came pouring from all parts Of the extreme
south, but to no avail Ex-goycrnors, CON
gressmcn, and other prominent men added
their protests against the execution Of the
two "IigcrsN but Beauregard was incxorn-
bic. lie had determined upon making an
example and he was obduratc.
THE DAY or DOOM.
On the day set for execution Il was fair
and bright, and the brigade to which tho
regiment Of the condemned was attached
was drawn up In large open field south Of
Centcrville in three sides Of a hollow square.
The prisoners seated in an open ambulance,
followed by strong guard, were then
driven to the center of the square where two
graves had been dug. Thousands of others
of the brigadCs of the army were gathered
TO witness the spectacle. Thc collins were
placed beside the open graves, and the
deemed men were blindfolded and forced
70 knccl upon them. II was most I'M
prcssive scene TO us all, but to render IL
still more impressive the band Of the rcgi-
ment struck up q funeral dirgc. Then the
firing platoon came up, and were ranged In
front Of the men.
Their officer stood to the right Of them,
and as he waved white handkerchief and
dropped IL there was q flash and roll of
smoke, and the condemned men fell for
word on their faces and all was over.
a fatigue party buried them where they
fell, while the troops were marched Oft to
their camps deeply impressed that the mill
tary rule is one of iron. II needs hardly TO
be said that the dreadful scene had u whole
some effect In the maintenance of discipline.
Now, l could give other instances of
measures taken to enforce discipline, but IL
would extend this article beyond the space
allowed me. But will say that honestly
believe that there was never a set of sol
diers In the world, despite the peculiar cir
cumstances under which they were enlisted,
that were more obedicnt to the legalized
restraints OF discipline, or who were more
thoroughly imbued with the necessity OF
implicitly yielding to constituted authority,
than the men of the army OF northern Vir-
ginia. There are many more instances of
punishments, the description of which
would be Of interest to the general reader,
and which l trust to be able to describe
hereafter-nOtably the execution of three
men on the heights above Petersburg, and
/ have always believed that IL was judicial
or rather q court-martial murder

or course the government can do as it
pleases in the matter, but the transportation
IN vessels of war OF $1,000, 900 Of silver dol
lars from the New Orleans mint to New
York vaults will be an impairment of the
standing contract with railway express COM
panies for the transportation of coin. The
cost of the work by the latter is stated at
$72, 800, which seems like large price to
pay for moving something less than 800
tons of freight q thousand miles, but the
question Of risk and responsibility ought to
lie considered in the case. This is Il sort OF
assurance that has tangible worth accord
ing to modern methods and laws Of finance.
The SwataTa and Yantic may bring the coin
through safely, but II they do it will be at
considerable cost. There is certainly great
risk of loss, aud 1t is a question whether
the hoped-for saving in expense will not be
so small as to he unworthy the serious con-
slderation Of the government Of the United

New YoRK, Aug. i0.-After the decided
break in the stool, market, which took place
place on Tuesday, it was expected to show
considerable fcvcrshucss ana irrcnlarity
tc-lay. Il did exhibit those qualities in the
early dealings this morning. In the early
dealings there were declines Of small frac-
tions In the most OF the list, hut this was
followed by the development Of decided
strength, which continued with no inter
tupiiOn Of importance from that time until
the close of the board. There were, Occa-
sionally, slight reactions, hut they were al
ways followed by u further upward move
mcLt all along the line This was In the
face of reports Of earnings Of three prOml-
rent railway companies tOrthe second week
In August each showing material declines
compared with the same week last year,
Northwestern making loss Of 10000.
Chicago aud Alton, $40, 15T and Louisville
aud Nashville, SlS,i0O. There was also q
decrease Of Slab IN the Rochester and
Pittslurg. The bears still insist that the
market IS artificial and prices are held by
those who loaded up with stocks several
weeks ago and who have not yet been able
to unload the very easy money market
giving them almost unlimited power IN
this respect; while the bulls insist that the
boom is only just begun and present prices
will appear cheap in the not very distant
future.
There was sharp upward movement In
the late dealings, said to bc due TO heavy
LuyiGg for account Of parties now In Sara
togo, supposed TO he Mr. Vanderbilt.

Another Oleomargarine Law Upset.
-

The assailants of oleomargarine do not
appear to be making much headwayi in their
Efforts to suppress the industry by hostile
legislation. An opinion of the Maryland
court of appeals is reported which plays
havoc with the statute In that state. The
act makes 1t crime to sell oleomargarlne
unless 1t is conspicuously branded as such.
The penal provisions of the law are strin-
gent and oppressive. The legislature first
imposed fine for every violation Of the
act, but this was not deemed severe enough,
and imprisonment was added. The court
Of appeals holds that neither penalty can
be enforced. 1t says; "There is plain in
consistency and repugnancy between the
punishment prescribed by the second and
third sections. BY section the ofrensc is
punished by a fine Of 800, and by section 3
the same offense is punishable by imprison-
ment in the county jail. To this extent
these two sections must he adjudgod in
valid, because it is impossible for the court
TO say under which Of them the party is to
be punished
