The bitter attack of Senator ingalls,

The bitter attack of Senator Ingalls,
the vinaigrette of the Senate, upon
Gen. Black, pension commissioner,
because of his pension of 500 a
month will not win the Senator great
laureIs. Mr.. Ingalls, claims that
Gen. Black got his pension for total
incapacity by imposture, since he
now holds a lucrative office. The
dispute is whether Black claimed to
be incapacitated for mental effort,
as well as physical. Such an attack
as this on a man who is at best a
physical wreck from wounds, could
only come from a man who did not
90 to the front. AS to ''imposture, -
it was Ingalls, who assured the SEN
ate that the arrears Of pensions bill
would not require very much money,
Just few millions, not the one
or two hundred millions which have
been paid out under it.-Sprinqfelo

WASHINGTON LETTER



Washington, May 24th.
The gossips have had much to say
about the presidents purchase of
bridal home near this city. The al
legged purchase was made through
another man, and the affair is yelled
in secrecy to the extent that no one
really knows much about it. The
country seat in question is known
as pretty Prospect" and it is reach
ed by one of the most pleasant drives
in this vicinity, the road from George
town to Tenleytown, through the
beautiful scenery of Rock Creek val
ley. 1t is two story stone house
with an oldfashioned hip roof, COM
handing an extensive view of the
surrounding country, including the
Washington Monument, land the Poto-
mac river almost as far down as
Mount Vernon, and is nestled among
old forest trees, in paradise of sub
Duran homes. If the president has
bought this place he will have Secre-
tary Whitney for near neighbor dur
ing portion of the year. The
wealthy cabinet officer keeps up
about half dozen establishments,
and one of his summer homes is near
this spot.
This is the only capital in the
world, | believe, where the chief rul-
err lives in the building assigned to
executive business. And, indeed,
the white house is as much of pub
lie office now as the treasury. or the
war, state and navy buildings. There
is no privacy there, such as every
man desires for himself and family
out Of business hours. President
Arthur once said that no one, with
out personal experience, could have
any idea of the distressing effect o.
living, day in and day out, in thu
same house where you have been busy
all day with affairs of routine bust
ness.
There is a good deal of opposition
to the senate's plan for extending
the executive mansion. Many thinl
that it should be left just as it is
to be used for an office
and that the president shoult
have a separate house. They holt
that it is no more reasonable to com
pei the president to live at the whit
house than it would be to require tn
secretary of the treasury to live il
the treasury building. They ais

urge that the states recognize the
necessity of Il separate residence for
the executive, inasmuch as no gov
ernor of any state lives in or near his
office.
Congress is discussing subjects
that involve the expenditure of mon.
ey, such as pensions, subsidies, and
the regular appropriation bills which
always provoke Il great deal of de-
bate. Whether it will legislate rad
ically for Utah this session, or not,
is question no one can yet answer
The House judiciary committee has
been listening patiently for weeks, to
arguments for and against the new
Edmunds bill that passed the senate
some months ago.
The Mormon church has had every
chance to be heard. In Its behalf
have appeared Jeff Chandler, law
yer from Missouri, George S. Bout
well of Massachusetts, ex-senator ;
A. M. Gibson, one of the shrewdest
of lobbyists; John T. Game, Utah S
delegate to congress, and others.
The Gentiles were represented by
Mr.. Boskin alone, prominent demo-
cratic lawyer from Salt Lake City,
who has lived among the saints for
twenty years. During that time he
has spent So, 700 from his own peck
ct in attempting to bring about such
legislation as would Americanize the
territory. He is here to-day, with.
out compensation, fighting SINGLE
handed the battle against polygamous
hierarchy.
