WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington , D. C. , May 18,188-1.
I suppose 3Fr. Arthur might as
well bo off junketing- hobnobbing-
with his New York boon companions ,
as to be here where nobody , not even
Congress , has any use for him. While
the politicians have carefully shelved
him' , because they dared not trust
him , they seem to be vicing with
each other in giving him a character
for the satisfaction of future employes.
Yet Arthur himself has not given up
the ghost by a long shot. Though he
failed , with all hib tremendous pat
ronage and ward-working and wire-
working experience in New York ,
to get half the delegation in his own
State , he has the temerity , or I might
say impurdence , at least , to still con
sider himself in the field. The anti-
Blaine papers , such as the Now York
Times , the Post and Harper's Weekly ,
are pouring hot shot into the Blaine
camp , but they have about as much
effect as the water on a duck's back.
Blaine is running his canvas for all
it is worth , and he has run too many
of them not to know how. While
his sun-stroke business killed him in
1870 , and the Mulligan letters in 1880 ,
he believes that the effect of all that
was then charged up against him has
worn off , but once let him < jet the
' O
Chicago nomination and you will see
him shown up with as crooked a record
as has been exhibted to public view
since the days of Martin Van Buren ,
and with a still more vituperative
campaign.
The unveiling of the statue of Chief
Justice Marshall , last Saturday , was a
rather tame affair , although no more
so than the statue itself , which is
simply an addition to the already
large stock of cheap bronze and
hybrid marble'worke.l into all possi
ble styles of grotesquene&s that con
front us all over the city. Really one
cannot compass the motives that have
inspired the raising of these hideous
monstrosities at nearly every street
corner. With the possible exception
of Clark Mills' equestrian statue of
Gen. Jackson , I know of no single
work here that possesses the slightest
merit , for the figures are not only
poorly executed , but the faces have
no resemblance whatever to the
originals. And the cost of some of
these unartistic abortions is simply
fabulous , beause they were ordered
by Congress and the Government
foots the bills. The statue of McPherson -
son , which is as unlike him as the
sculptor could possibly make it , is set
down as having cost 628,000 , and
would be dear at any price. The
Jackson statue cost § 30,000 , and the
rest of them all the way from § 25,000
to § 40,000 each. The poor soldiers
and sailors put in their mites to that
monumental burlesque at the Capitol
entrance , called the Peace Monument.
This pile cost over § 200,000 , one
half of which was contributed by
Congress. Although commemorative
o rj
of peace , the sight of this marble
abomination makes a true American
want to go a-slugging after the sculp
tor. If there is anything in the statue
/ \3
line more positively ludicrous than
this , I do not know Avhat it is unless
it be Greenough's "Washington , " on
the east side of the Capitol , which
cost § 4t,000 , and is as awkward a
piece of business as ancient or modern
times has produced. It represents
George just out of the bathtub , with
one towel over his knees and another
over his rio-lit shoulder , while in his
O *
hand is a strange looking sort ct'an
instrument , of the knife pattern , with
which he is evidently about to pare
his toe-nails. He is seated in a chair ,
and this chair is the only single re
deeming feature about the entire
work. It is elaborate to the finest
carvings necessary to display the
lineaments of the animal faces upon
its arms. Providentially , the inscrip
tions upon this statue are in a lost
tongue , so that our future generations
mayj'be able to palm it off for Heddy
the Blacksmith or John L. Sullivan.
The etenuil fitness of things is spec-
f * *
ially manifest in the financial downfall
of those who persist in defylng Fatb
and living not only beyond ithoir.own
means but beyond the meafis'of'thoSo'
whoso charity lowacdvthon ? THIS been
so woefully misplaced. Wall 'street
has a cheery welcome for all'opera
tors so long as their dtjcais entitle
them to consideration , but no tyrant
is more relentless when the seed
time and harvest of speculation shall
have pushed the victim to the wall.
Here is a lesson : but wo have had
many a one before. This Grant family
went into business simultaneously
under the prestige of a nauu : alone ,
having no considerable amount of
capital of their own , but plenty of
that of other people whose confidence
in their integrity was simply bound
less. Their operations seem to have
been confined to fleecing the very
friends whose money had given them
a start , and among them was a St.
Louis widow who advanced § 10,000
which was returned to her with $40-
000 more , the proceeds.cf its invest
ment for nine months. Of course , the
bait took , and the marvelous manner
in which money could thus bemade
to quadruple itself , led the dear -lady
to put in that § 50,000 an-1 another
with it , which of course is now , of. the
earth , earthy. The Grants are laying
all this financial viciousness to Ward ,
who is no doubt-a grand rascal , but
while' he was Stealing ten millions
o
from their neighbors , where wer.o the
Grants ? Doat
