WASHINGTON, April 1e.-Dere Edditer-
Business is improvin In legislatiy serkeIs
sence my last ritin, and thar is sines
plenty that we air goin to hav q good
crap Of bills and setch other harvest as we
air fixed to tnrn out. We statesmen in
congress has began to work at mites, and
eff it keeps on wen git all our werk done
ahed Of time or thar'n be a strike fer the
eight hour sisteem. The fust mite we
worked / dident git in tell long about mid
mite, and when / told my landlRdy &c
breakfast what KEEP me out so late she
wouldent believe it, tell l got the news
papers and showed heI In plane black and
white the convinsin proof that when con-
gress takes a notion, 1t can werk, not
only all day, but as much Of the mite as Is
needcessary. Most folks is like my land
lady, though, and won't believe 1t tell
they git the undisputeable truth, which
they always find In the newspapers. So
fer the bulk Of the mite werk is devoted
to pension legislation, and business in.
this line is activ purity much all the time,
~pertickerlerly in a presidential yer, when
a good deal depends on the soljer vote.
We have been doin considerable in
other direcktions also, whar legislation
was skeerce and needed fertilizin and
cultivatin. One bill that my mind was
set on, wa detected, though, and / haint
been feelin well sence. / refer to the bill
for changin Inoggeration day from the
4th Of March to the S0th OF April. An
amendment, er ruther a lecture, was put
in it, which was to the effect that con-
gress was also TO change its time Of
meetin to Jany /, and that broke the bills
back and paralized it. Eff it had passed
the way it was, this congress wouldent
have had only n session, and as thar
wasent no pervision by which congress-
men was TO git pay fer the yer that they
was legislatin themselves out of. very
materially, the bill ran up again a snag
and got stuck thar. Ef / had beer cheer
mar of the committy in charge of it, line
shore thar wouldent hay been any bullet
hole in IL like that. Anyhow the change
of Inoggeration day ought to be made,
and do away with all chances of
BLOWN a president into the exsecu-
tiv cheer with a blizzard. IF we
could legislate the weather, il mite
do to leave it as or foreSAthers got
1t, but they dident have no weather buro
and other moddern Improvements to con-
tend with, and they took the weather as it
came and newer knode what 1t was till it
did come. Besides, in the erly history Of our
country 1t was thought that as fer south
as Washington was, the 4th of March was
q PLEASANT spring day, but years Of expe-
RENTS has Termed us better, and with in
creased knowledge ought to come in
creased progress, and we ought to move
up the day anyhow as fer ahed as April
80, when the flowers is bloomin, the
birds is singin, and the bile is purity well
worked out Of the human sistum, and
house cleanin is gittin over, and all mater
Is smilin from the green erth and the blue
sky as ef she was glad that she had her
home in this CRATE and gloryous republic,
and she could como forth In her best bib
and tucker to see the cheef servant Of the
people gittin reddy to 60 to work.
/ reckon thar amt no use cryin yer
split milk. and / aInt goin to cry over
this, but III always look at IL as q case

In some of the further advanced portions
Of the nation 1t don't seem as ef the hog
