WASHINGTON LETTER..
(rRoM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT

(FRoM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT
 Washington, D. C., Dec. 3I, 1887 Christmas day in Washington was not the ideal one. The ground was not covered with snow ana the Poto mac was not sheet of glisstening ice. But probably never has there been Christmas day so generally observed in the Washington churches. All denominations had special services, with large congregations and good singing. Pulpits were decked with greens and flowers, and wreaths and festoons of pine and holly hung grace fully from the walls.
 We have had no congress this week. Some Of the senators and representa-. tives went home 10 eat their turkeys, but l notice that ahere were more here now than ever betere at this season. This is because of the interstate com merce law, which prevents the issue of passes to congressmep. Statesmen now travel like ordinary men. They pay for their sleepers and not a few of them travel in common coaches.
 The subject recalls Representative Holman, of Indiana, whose excessive economy in legislation has caused him to be called the ''watch dog" of the treasury and also the "great objector because on the floor of tn: house he rises 10 "object" to almost every proposition that involves an inroad npon the national money vaults.
 Speaking of Christmastide, prob ably no man in the city has enjoyed he season more than Washington s Pnilanthropist, MT W. w. Corcoran, man full Of years and deeds. He has just entered upon his ninetIeth year. Last Tuesday was his birthday and his house was fragrant with flow CTS that had been sent to him. He received large number of callers, letters. telegrams. and cable messages from all quarters came Tn all day, making his parlors (with the flowers, cards and dainty souvenirs of the event. an interesting scene.
 MT. Coraoran in looking back through the long vista of his eighty nine years remarked one day that he had shaken the hand of every Ameri- can president except Washington, "who died," S i'd he, "before 1 be- gan to run about the White House. |" But he had evidently forgotten the exception in the ease of President Lincoln. Mir. Corcoran was not on sufficiently good terms with him or with his administration to have shak. en hands with the War President. Mir. Corcoran was at that time so warm a sym pathizer with the south that he found it necessary 10 leave Washington for time. w
 Unlike most aged people, who live largely in the past, MT. Corcor. an enjoys seeing friends of all ages, and likes to discuss men and events cf the present time. As he himself sald pointing to his head "I am all right here, but my legs are weak. " He cannot walk without assistance, ana is attended to and from his car. riage and everywhere he goes by his valet. He attended church on Christ mas day, and after being assisted to the chancel rail for communion he was unable to place the wine to his his lips. This weakness was onll temporary, however, having been in- duced by the fatigue of sitting through long servIce. He expresses the hope that ne will yet live to eel ebrate his centennial.

The voters of the county should consider
