OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON, D. G., Feb. 27, 1855

WASHINGTON, u. u, Feb. q, 1888.
Congress is disposed to act upon all
public bills with as much dispatch as
possible so as to take up the tariff and
pass the best tariff bill possible before
either convention meets. Legislation for
public buildings is receiving more atten-
tion than at any time before, and this
will put money in circulation in all sec.
tions Of the country and please the work.
ingmen. So far all of the many bills of
that character that have come up for
action, have passed in the form reported
BY the committee, but very little oppose
ton being made 70 any of them. The
total amount appropriated in one day for
buildings was about s1.5OO,00O. The
thing above all others that is troubling
Members the mostjust now, is the sitting
of Congress up 10 the time of the meet
ing Of. the National Conventions. This
being long session the adjournment
according to custom would not be until
August, but the meeting of the Demo.
cratic Convention in June and the Re-
publican Convention shortly afterwards,
makes the members impatient to get
away to engage in the tbickest of the
fray. And now that the day of meeting
has been fixed, the Ways and Means
Committee will press to early action the
tariff bill which is ready for report to
the committee, and this will afford good
plank for the platform. The almost
universal opinion here is that Cleveland
will be the nominee, and the selection OF
st. Louis is accepted as finally settling
the question. Senator Vest, who is a
warm friend of the President, made o
most telling speech before the National
Committee, and the forcibleness OF his
speech and his close relations to the
Executive are conceded to have infu:
enced the committee in deciding on St.
Louis. All of the st. Louis delegation
in Congress, except Representative Burns,
are strong Cleveland men, and say that
st. Louis will be solid for the Presidents
denomination.
The Government Printing is being in.
yestigated, but the developments SO ial
are favorable to the administration of the
Office than otherwise. Government
Printer Benedict says that he has saved
$3.50, 900 by the reduction Of the labor
roll; $4,000 per annum by a change in
the system ofzpaying the employees; q
saving Of many thousands Of dollars in
obtaining the discount allowed in the pur.
chaseof type; and 8 still further saving
in reducing the waste Of paper. Tie in.
vestigation is still in progress, but as YET
it can not be predicted what the fnal
showing and comparison with previou:
administrations of the Office will be.
Although the House Committee has
reported favorably the bill admitting
Dakota, Montans, Washington Territory
and New Mexico to Statehood, it is moi
expected that they will be admitted this
Congress While Republicans would
control some Of the new States, stillupo1
the whole the Democrats would gair
more than the Republicans and obtain
control of the Senate, and hence the
Republicans will oppose the admission
The four go together and the failure ol
one means the defeat of all. II.

Mr. BENJAMIN Keith. of Tallahassee

Mr.. Benjamin Keith, ofTallahassee,
now in St Louis, states that a company OF
capitalists is being formed to drain Oke-
echobce, the great Florida peninsula lake.
Mr. Keith says: "The plan is to run three
canals, one on the west and two on the
north of the lake, which will carry of
probably three .fourths of the water now
spread over the face of the country and
render available al least 100000 acres of
land now utterly worthless. The canals
will drain into the lake, which is cheaper
and easier than making them drain into
the sea, and if experiment proves a
success the whole face ofthe country will
be altered and the reed and mangrove
swamps replaced by the finest rice fields

to improve the country, should donate a

MITCHELL's FUN.
'lt Lands Him in Jail ON a Trivial
Charge.

Notwithstanding the Gilbertian phrase
ga policeman's lot is not happy one, .
the police station is frequently the scene
Of ludicrous incidents. most of which,
however, are too trivial for public mem
ton. Yesterday afternoon, for instance,
Officer Bowler brought in diminutive
man, who rejoiced in the name Of Keziah
Hassen and J. B. Mitchell, quiet look
ing young man Of some 25 Years OF age.
1t was stated that Mitchell was walk
ing along Alameda street. opposite the
Commercial-street depot, when he was
attracted by crowd outside second
hand store kept by Hassen, VINO was
selling old clothes by auction. FL
bowling his way through the crowd,
Mitchell accosted the vendor, enquiring
the price Of pair of pants which he held
in his hands. On being informed that
thel would cost dollar, he jocularly
reptf ID that he would not give two bits''
for lem, whereupon the clotbier seeing
tina he was only being made fun Of, re-
pile that the youth had not got two
Bit in the world. This led to further
words ON both sides, all the laughter Of
the bystanders being directed against
the merchant, when suddenly he rushed
out with stick and struck Mitchell with
it. At this Mitchell proceeded to do him
up, but was prevented by the onlookers,
when Bowler came upon the scene and
marching them up to the station, charg-
ed them both with disturbing the peace.
On arrival there, the merchant, who is
believed to be demented, charged Mitch
ell with bothering him whilst in pursuit
of his business, while Mitchell charged
him With battery. As, however, the
Hebrew had preferred his charge first, he
was allowed to deposit $40 bail for his
whilst Mitchell, much to his disgust, was
held in ''durance vile."
