WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington , D. C. , Sept. 1st , ' 84.
The settlement of the social status
of the colored race in the Canital . can-
A.
not be much longer deferred. When
white women are moved to commit
grand larceny ( as one of them did the
other day ) expressly to get into the
penitentiary because she was "tired
of living in Washington with the
d niggers , " as she expressed it.
something ought to bo done toward
inducing the white element to assert
itself. The fact that a vast majority
of the white voters are opposed to the
adoption of a system of self-govern
ment at the Capital , might seem dis
appointing to you , but when you re
member and realize that four out of
seven votes cast in the District of Col
umbia would be black ones , and
thrown for black candidates for office
the elective franchise hath no paticu-
lar charms for us. As it is now , the
colored people of Washington proper
approach nearer to an equality in all
social'conditions with the whites than
in any other city in the country , and
the official influence of such men as
Fred Douglass and Register Bruce ,
and other leaders of the race , has fill
ed the minor positions in all of the
departments with colored employes
at the expense of our much-vaunted
patriotic interest in the heroes of the
war. In fact an empty sleeve as well
as an empty trowsers-leg have ceased
long since to be a recommendation
for a place under the government.
The running down and sinking of
the war vessel Tallapoosa by an ordi
nary freight vessel , was the hair that
broke the back of our navy , and dem
onstrates with fearful certainty what
would become of- her and her crew
in a contest with any third-rate vessel
belonging to a fourth-rate power. 1
Now Chili and Peru and Norway , and
even New Jersey , can snap their fin
gers at us in diplomacy and challenge
us to do our worst. By a merciful
dispensation of politics , the gallant
Secretary of the gallant Navy was
not on board to witness the departure
of the remnant of his war fleet , but he
left twenty-eight cases of Washing
ton ( Heidsick on board , which are now
mingling with their native element
in fifty-four fathoms.
I went down to Mount Vernon the
other day to drop a tear to the mem
ory of the great First in. Had I not
gone upon a dead-head pass , the tear n
aforesaid would have cost me a dollar ,
plus the other petty pltinderings that
all have to experience who would
evince patriotism enough to visit this I
sacred ! spot. The place has passed
into the possession , as everybody
knows , of the Ladies' Mount Vernon
Association , over whose eyes the skip
per of a Potomac steamboat has pull P
ed the wool beautifull } ' . This captain
has been accorded the monopoly 01
don't you see , everything runs to mo
nopoly ? of being the sole proprie
tor < of the wharf franchise , and no
other boat has any right to land pas
sengers upon the sacred soil. For
this ] franchise the patriotic captain to
rakes ; in two-thirds of the dollar exacted -
acted frcm each passenger , and gal
lantly accords the remaining third to
the Ladies' Association ! But what I
desire to call particular attention to ,
the inexcusable delay that has char in
acterized the management of this La
o
Association in , fulfilling1 the on
promises made by them to restore the
Mount Vernon Mansion to the state n
which but a few years ago , it was to
fraught with the freshest memories of ai
its once great tenant. There are hun
dreds of relics scattered all about the
country whose history is fully authen of
ticated , and which may be had for the
asking , but during the dozen years or
more that these promises have been
continued , no effort has been made to to
secure them. Even the few antique
looking pieces of furniture now in the in
few rooms that are furnished at all ,
are invested with no particular inter
est , inasmuch as they are known to be tv
the refuse of some second-hand aun-
tion-room. The library room , in
which Mr. Bancroft says that Wash-1
ington spent the most of his last clays ,
is absolutely without furniture , and
the shelves in the book-case that oc
cupies the whole eastern side of the
room , is entirely bookless ! The usher
I
at } Mount Vernon , who tells the visi
tors \ all sorts of improbable and im
possible ] things , has been for fourteen
years telling them what the Lady
Regents of Mount Vernon were going
to do. I hope the time may soon
come when he will be able to tell them
of something they lisive done.
Doai PEDRO .
A YOUXG lady writes to these Top
ics to inquire , "What is a bobtail
flush that I see so many apparent
jokes about in the papers ? " Dear lit
tle girl , a bobtail flush , technically is
a hand at poker where a player has
four cards of one suit. Five of a suit
make a flush , a hand upon which most
any young man of your acquaintance
would bet a dollar and thirty-five
cents. But a bobtail is no good if
the other man signifies his desire to
see it. But men hold-bobtail flushes
in many other things than poker.
When a young fellow has a girl who
eats his ice cream , "goes to dances ,
opera and picnics with him , smiles on
him , purrs at him and bleeds him of
all his salary , only to tell him "No" at
the important moment , that young fel
low may be said to have held a bob
tail flush. When a man concludes
he will go into politics , ancl the ward
managers tell him it's all right , and
he sets up the pins and pours out his
money and slops over the poor devils
he wouldn't notice at any other period ,
and plots and plans and worries and
spends more money , and lies and slan
ders the opposing fellow , and wallows
in the dirt generally , and then gets
left ( at the primaries he has merely
held a bobtail flush. fl
When a young woman thinks it is I
nice to gad about and flirt and be free
with strangers and take no notice of
the solid and industrious young man
who is struck with her , and the years
go by and the wrinkles begin to come
and she has the heartache ancl be
comes a hopeless old maid she has
simply held a bobtail flush.
When a man works like a slave ,
hoards his money , scorns the poor ,
worships God with lip service , is a
pillar of society all his life , closes his C
heart against the true grace which
make it soft and tender and loving ,
keeps the letter of the law and not I
the spirit , and dies and has to show
his hand to St. Peter at the pearly
gates he has only a bobtail flush.
Topics.
"Iv you want to keep a town from
thriving dent erect any more dwell
ings than yon can conveniently occu
py yourself. If you should accident
ally have an empty building , and any
one should want to rent it , ask three
times the value of it. Demand a Shylock -
lock price for every foot of ground
that God has given you stewardship
over. Turn a cold shoulder to every
mechanic and business man who seeks
make a home with you. Look at
every newcomer with a scowl. Run
down the work of new workmen. Go
abroad for wares rather than seek to
do business in your midst. Fail to ad
vertise , or in any way to support a
newspaper , that people abroad may
not know whether business is going
in your town or not. Wrap your
self with a coat of impervious selfish
ness. < There is no more effectual way
retard the growth of a town than
actions like those enumerated. Hon-
ACK GREELT.
"TEACH the boys the same standard I
purity as you do the girls. Make
every man and boy know that not one
woman could become a prostitute un
less some man fell also. Teach them
reverence the procreative trust.
Teach them to reverence the maternal
woman. Teach a girl that woman
hood is above wifehood ; teach her to
expect of her husband the same puri-
he demands of her. Mrs. Stock-
ham before the Moral Education
Society.
