WASHINGTON.
(From Our Regular Correspondent
WASHINGTON, D. c.,

March ~ 1886.
The second week of the Senate's
debate on "papers" is now well ad-
vanced and there are no Indications
vet of the end. Every day some
Senator makes q contribution to
the fight. Senators Cull6m, of Illi-
nois, and Dolph, Of Oregon, are
among the latest Republican Sena-
tors who have spoken this week,
while Senators Wilson. of Maryland,
and Brown, the old war governor
of Georgia, have presented the
Democratic point of view.
The most interesting episode of
the debate SO far was the caustic
exchange between Senators I'd
munds, of Vermont, and Beck, of
kentucky, in which the latter was
called to order for talking Senate
secrets in open session. Both Sem
atOrs became much excited, and
Senator Beck, who Is blunt and un-
polished, rent the air with his arms
and pitched his voice toa dizzy
height. Senator Edmunds never
forgets his dignity, but his face
paled more than usual, and it was
evident that he was determined to
maintain cOmpOsure while he told
the Senator from Kentucky what
he thought of q Senator's violation
of his "Oath" and his "honor" by be.
traying the Senate's injunction Of
secrecy.

District of Columbia. He thought
as he had given the marshallship of
the District to a District man when
he might have selected a stranger
for that position, there would be no
objection to his paying off politi-
cal debt by giving the Office Of Re
cOrder to a partisan Democrat of
Albany, especially since Frederick
Douglass, the present incumbent, is
a colored man.
The District Democracy still
clamOr that the Office is a purely
local one and should be filled by a
local man. They say if the Presi-
dent wanted to select a negro, he
could have found a number Of col
Ored residents of the District COM
petent to fill the place.S No petit
tons or protests have been fled
against Matthew'S confirmation,
but citizens of the District have
visited the committee which will
formally dispose of his nomination,
and have assured it that the PEG.
pie of the District, without regard
to politics, object to sny stranger as
their recorder of deeds. Since the
committee is disposed to act in ac-
cordance. with the wishes of the
people here, as it now stands, the
chances are that it will report Mr..
Matthews adversely.
The Forty Ninth Congress has at
last paSsed one wise and benefi-
cient measure, the good results of
which will be felt in many humble
homes. 1t was the bill increasing
widows pensions from IS to $12 a
month which passed the Senate
Just as it came from the House, and
will soon be made a law by the sig.
nature of the President. -Four dol
lars a month-forty-eight dollars a
year-is a small sum to a rich man.
1t would hardly pay for the cham
payne at an evening entertainment.
But to a poor widow it means
bread for whole year, and bridges
the chasm between pinching want
and comfort.
Speaking of pensions reminds me
that Gen. Black, the Commissioner
OF Pensions under the new Admin.
istratiOn, was unprepared to sub
stantiate his allegations with re-
gard to the official acts of his pred
