WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington , D. C. , Nov. 8. ' 84.
The exodus of Government clerks
from Washington to he used ut home
for voting purposes has never been so
great as at this fall's Republican dan
ger. In the face of the Civil Service
law , these men are furnished with
transportation to their homes , and in
many cases their entire trip expenses
are borne , if not from the public Treas
ury , nobody knows what. From the
Government Printing OiHce so many
have left that the place has the ap
pearance this \veek that it has on the
Sabbath day. When it is remember-
d that there are 80,000 voters here
to be distributed among the several
States , and as there is likely to be a
close fight in many of them , we can
see the reason for this gathering of
Republican clans and concentrating
them upon the country ballot-box.
This very morning the alarm comes
from Republican Wisconsin that calls
for the last man from the Badger State i
who has a vote to go home and cast it.
The same protection dodge that de
bated Hurd in Ohio , is being worked
; o the threatened disaster of Mr. Mor
risen in Illinois. The opponent of
Mr. Morrison is Tom Needles the
"ormer State Auditor , who is very
) opular and therefore very adaptable
to the various elements of the popu-
ation that he mixes with. Morrison
jeat Kneffner two years ago with 2- ,
bOO majority and under a free trade
ssue , but it is probable that Needles
vith his popularity and a redoubled
> rotection onslaught will prove a
nore dangerous foe for Mr. Mor
rison's steel.
The man who has talked and writ-
en more about finance and demon
strated that he knew less about it than
anybody else , has received the port-
olio of the Treasury in the place of
Mr. Gresham , who takes a life place
on the bench" the successor of Judge
3rummond. McCulloclfs vagaries as
Secretary of the Treasury once before ,
vere the laughings-tock of the whole
nancial world , except the few sharks
u Wall street into whose hands he
vas constantly playing the Govern-
nents best trumps. It is Wall street
low that has demanded of Mr. Arthur
he re-instatementof the same MeCul-
och who believes that hoarding five
uindred millions of dollars in the
freasury to lie idle , while the coun-
ry's industrial industries are going
o the dogs , is the true theory of sue-
; essful financiering.
With all our pretended perfection
n the matter of transporting the mails
of the country , the complaints come
n at the rate of twenty thousand per
rear of the loss of valuable letters. Of
these 14,641 contained enclosures of
money , comprising checks , drafts and
urrency , of which number the effi
cient detective force of the Post Office
Department succeeded in running
down about 1,800 of them as having
inully reached their destination ,
hough no mention is made of the 18-
)00 ) that did not. It is gratifying to
je informed however , that the percen
tage of convictions in the Federal
courts for violations of the Post Office
iaws is en the increase , for out of the
398 offences tried in those courts 430
were convicted , 88 acquitted , and ] ol
yet on trial. PJIOXO.
IT is more honorable to acknowl
edge our faults than to boast of our
merits.
GKATITL'WI : is the fairest blossom
that springs from the soul , and the
heart of man knowcth none more fra-
rrant.
Tin : arms of wit ought ahvay to be
feathered with smiles. When they
fail in that they become sarcasm , and
like two edged sword ? .
To think kindly is good , to speak
cindly is better , but to act kindly is
best. Let warm , loving light shine
all around you , and you will never
lack friends.
SOISKK sense , sftlf-possession and in
telligent self-control are the sife-
ojuards of head and heart , and make a
beautiful temple for the soul.
