EDITORIAL LETTER.
Whamxc'rox, April 12- 1879'
Dean Gazarra :— . .. .
, An'mi'edlcted in an week’s 9°38. .nd-
' 'ence the 'Kri'ny Bill passed the House amend-
ed‘is'pefthe interest of the democracy, and
was . reported to the Senate on Monday. It
was immediately referred to‘ the committee
on appropriations, which committee will
' make a majority report in favor of its pas-
sage as it came from the House, and I
minority report by_ Senator Blaine, in rejec-
tion of the extraneous and repealing legisla- .
tion put On in that body. Acaucus of Be-
publican Senators was held today to consult
and determine the line of debate on “10
measure; when it shall be taken up by the
Sen-rte next week. ’ *
BELL ADMITTKD.
After a prolonged debate Senator Bell, lb:
New Hampshire Gubernatorial appointee,
was admitted, by a very close vote on
Thursday evening. Senator Carpenter made
a speech against the admission on strict'
legal grounds and Senator Conkling express-
ed his disbelief in the Governor’s right to
thus appoint. On the other side, Senators
Bayard and Jones of Florida. made able
arguments in favor of Mr. Bell‘s right to a
seat. Thus it did not become strictly a
party question, but as lawyers always disa-
grce as to interpretations of law questions,
it was more of a “legal wrangle” than any-
thing else. As .1 matter of fact. however,
it is perfectly well understood that had the
admission of Bellalfected or imperilled the
democratic majority, he would have died
here of old ago before a democratic senator
would have voted for his admission. As it
made no manner of partizan difference, he
was allowed to squeeze through. Demo-
cratic senators were very free to admit, that
had Gen. Prescott seen fit to have returned
Mr. Wadleigh, no objection would ever
have been raised by them, as the “proce-
dents” are on both sides of the issue. ’
THE HOUSE:
The democrats have been “boomeranging”
all the week on the Legislative Appropriation
Bill in the House. It seems a bargain was
made with tho Greenbackers that if they
would join and help the democracy through
the organization, the democrats would in
turn aid them in bringing forward some of
their financial schemes. The majority has
forced a session over every Monday (bill
day) so far, and the Greenbackers were ‘ ion
in their complaints of having been .cheated
and lied to. To quell this new disturbance
the democrats held a caucus at which it was
agreed that the contract with the soft money
men, should be carried out. The regular
Monday sessions will therefore be most
likely had, and an avalanche of inflation
bills may hereafter be expected. ‘
run commas.
Before adjournment Friday evening,
Speaker Randall announced his committees.
‘ On the Finance committees the Greenbacks
have been given a decided preponderance.
On Ways and Means, the protective element
dominates the free trades. Asawhole'his
committees are stronger than at the last
Congress,-owiug mainly to the fact that he
has had better timber. The meanest and
most partizan thing he has done is to place
only five Republicans to ten Democrats on
the committee on contested elections. The
“necessities of the case” may have led to
this grossest of partizauship in pitting two
to one on this committee, when our minority
would be the majority, except for the many
outrages and frauds this committee is
raised to override. J udgc Phelps retains his
old place on Ways and Means; Gen. Haw-
lew is on Appropriations; Col. Waite is on
Commerce, and our Mr. Miles 011 Pensions.

department,” given to Ladd of Maine, who
is a new member. Our Judge Phelps, at
man of the highest personal character, and
an old member, is a slighted by not
being given a chairmgnship and the slight is
now extended to positive insult, by passing
by him and selecting the new comer from
Maine, although this committee is sojinsig-
nificant in position and influence, as to be a
matter of no possible consequence. ' Rail-
roads, Patents, and Banking and Currency
bear unmistakable evidences of having been
"‘cooked” in the interest of something not
the public weal. 1
mnxcx AND TILDEN.
Ex—Scnutor Barnum has hadhis hands,
head and heart full, while tarrying herein _
the interests of Samuel J. Tildeu‘as the next
democratic candidate for President. 0H0 is
credited with having been sent here as
_ chairman of the National Democratic Com-‘
mittee by the “reform" statesman of Gram-
ercy Park, to see that Sam. laudall should
bargain out his chairmanships and desirable
places on Committees with an eye single to
his, Tilden’s, rcnomination. There is» little
doubt but this duty Mr. Barnum has superin-
tended faithfully and effectually. The next
charge is that Barnum has been “retained”
by the Pacific Railroads to “engineer" Rau-
dall right on his make—up of his Railroad
Committee. Mr. Barnum’s conspicuous in-
terest in behalf of these railroads may be,
however, nothing more than justifiable re-
. ciprocity for the liberal pecuniary. did they
have always furnished him to conduct his
personal canvass in Connecticut with. ,Next,
he is accused of saying that the democratic
blunders of this extra session, and the worse
than crime of the almost exclusive, unregen-
crated rebel appointments to ofice, and the
defiant and disloyal threats made by Southern
democrats in Congress, have cost the democ-
racy a million of notes! Our ex—senatorial
friend certainly has had to endure enoughvto;
' demoraliz'e a much less shrewd and sagacious'.
political manipulator than we know him to
be, and if he has given utterance in an un-
guarded moment to any such disheartening
view of the present democratic situation, we
can only say that every fact and circumstance
afiirm and justify his conclusion. .The
succession of Republican victories “all along
the line," fully endorse Senator Barnum’s
discriminating judgment. But, the cx-sena-
tor has had, it is reputed, a still more vexa—
tious burden to bear for his fast friend
“Sammy,” of Gramerey Park aforesaid.
The New York “Reformer” has gotten into
another Internal'Revenuc complication, and
Barnum being here was of course the first
man to be shoved to the front to defend the
“honor” of Mr. Tilden before the Internal.
Revenue Bureau. We applied to Commis—
sioner Baum for full particulars,and although
the revenue ofiicers * as yet very reticent,
we gathered the lowing facts, which
coupled with the other fact, that-the to be
presidential candidate’s income tax suit is
about to be pressed to a conclusion in the
courts, makes this new “scrape” into which
his cupidity has again placed him, exceed-
ingly vexatious and embarrassing. Last week
notice was telegraphed that large quantities
of Tildcn’s remedies had been discOvered'
' and seized at'difl’ercnt points in Illinois for
not having the lawful, proprietary internal
revenue stamps upon the bottles and boxes.
' Upon this, the department here telegraphed
to its detectives in different. sections of the
country,'and further examinations showed
this omission to stamp their goods to be
general in all parts of the United States.
We should state here that Henry A. Tilden,
a brother of Samuel J., has, with a iron, the
personal management of the “Tilden Pill
Factory," at New Lebanon, N. Y., which is_
said to be the largest mauufactory of medi-
cinal remedies and extracts in the world.
Samuel J. Tilden is its reputed financial
,- backer and chief owner, and hundreds

of tons of thélr'productj; have

PaCkages thus far seized were in possession
"bfi'drugglsts at Cincinnati, Chloik'o'. 33"
Louis, New Orleans, Philadelphia, Baltimore
and Boston, and are found to have a few
stamps on .the outer boxes .9? .vinls,,while
those on the interior of each package of a
dozen would have ‘thhe. The nephew of
SamuelJ.‘ Tilden met Mr. Barnum at .the
Arlington early last Saturday morning, and a
certain Republican Congressman was soon
brought into the case, and Commissioner
Rau'rn visited. The defence set up by young
Tilden was‘that his firm had purchased and
issued sufllcient stamps for all the separate
wicke “packing cler " had mun "them (.9)
This is the nephew‘s story, but like that told
by nephew Pelton before the Potter commit—
tee, it is deemed altogether ”too thin,” and
he has been required to furnish the depart-
ment with the places and dates, when and
where these stamps were purchased. It has
always been considered a little . singular that
so enormous a manufacturing concern had
never procured a quaint stamp of their own
as is the custom of other large dealers in
medical specifics, but right here is where the
foxy cunning of the venerable Sammy is
supposed to have come in. By claiming the
use of only the general stamps which may be
purchased anywhere the same as postage
stamps, the government is unable to trace
and verify their claim of having purchased
them, as they could do did he use a proprie-
tory stamp. From this circumstance it is
possible the government will in the end he:
foiled in its efforts to fix upon the Tildens',‘
with a legal certainty, the responsibility—of.
whatnow seems to be another, more than
probable attempt to defraud the 'revenues‘of
the government, A singular incident con-
nected with young Tilden’s visit here was,
that although quartered at the Arlington all
day, he refused to enter his name upon the
hotel register. Every effort has been made
to suppress this latest bit of scandal on
account of the peculiar relationship of the
expectant presidential candidate to it, but
like murder, “fraud” will out, and we give
this first chapter of what promises to be-a'n- '
other “celebrated.case.”- . I,» ‘3'.“ng . ' '

On Wédne‘sday a visiting military company
from Norfolk were received by Company A
of thc'Washin'gton Light Infantry and pa-
raded the principal streets of the city. The
“stars and stripes” were made very conspicu-
ous by their absence from theranks of
either company, while two Virginia State
flags, with the Wilkes Booth motto, “Sic
Semper Tyranus,” conspicuously emblazoned,
fiaunted in the eyes of‘the indignant, loyal
residents of Washington. The Grand Army
of the Republic had a called meeting that
night and passed some severe coudemnatory
resolutions, and next morning's Republican
was ablaze with indignant protests by editor
and correspondents over the slight to the
nation‘s flag. At the recent St. Patrick’s
parade the stars and stripes were more con.
harp of Erin.

some eighty of the bald-headed male persua—.

recitals. Thispoor, insane creature ought to
be "suppressed” as a common nuisance, or
rather, the rapacious wretches who‘ prey

indicted.

Vice President Reed, of the Consolidated

in the long run, if properly carried out,'and
trust it will be given a' fair and honest cou-
sideratiou. If it can be shown to be an
improvement over the old plan. then it
should be adopted. We are aware that
there is a wide spread prejudice againstit
in certain districts, probably because the
people fear that in some way their district
will not receive their full share of money
and attention. Asthe Board vote supplies
and control the money, and have done‘so’
for years, we think this fear is unfounded.
But whatever is done we trust the petit-
tioners will be given a fair hearing, and the
question be discussed and passed on its
merits. ‘

’abundantly able to give general satisfaction.
Axormtn Romania—The store of W. H.
Smith, Water street, was forcibly entered by
thieves on Wednesday night last and robbed:
of pistols, hardware, &c., to the value of
$100 or more. The thieves took very simple
means to effect an entrance—smashing a win-
dow with a stone, and then smashing a show
.must have made was not heard by some one
in the vicinity. The police discovered the
broken window, and notified Mr. Smith!
The job was undoubtedly done while the pc-
11ce were on distant beats, and we see no
reason to charge them/with being inefilcient.

tinguished for the manufacture of fine shoes.
The firm manufacture in New Canaan as
heretofore and their facilities for conduct—

was induced to sign the pledge during the
temperance revival held in that city by Geo.
M. Dutcher, spoke in the lat M. E. Church,
Sunday afternoon with .wmderful power.
She told 110w, when a light hearted girl, she"
went to California to become the wife of
J udgc Watson, and how wine was placed on
her table and how she learned to love it.
Then, in touching language, she spoke of her
sorrow in sunny Italy and over the old world
and how God had. wonderfully saved her.
She is unassuming and speaks from a heart
overflowing" in gratitude to God for her deliv-
erance. Mr. Dutcher was present and opened
the meeting in his usual impressive style.

A Clear Inference.
It in too true that most of the patented medical
preparations thrown on the market emanate from
men who can lay no just claim to a professional
cducation,nnd who are. consequent! . totally un-
qualified to originate a really valua le prepara-
tion. But we have the pleasure of stating that
we know of one exception at least to this rule.
We refer to Dr. Kennedy, of Rondout, N. Y., the
discoverer and proprietor of the popular medi-
um; entitled the Favontc Remedy. lie is not a
stranger in this region of country. but a regular
and favorably known physician and surgeon ol
ltondont, where he has practiced his profession
lor eight years with a. degree of success which
has surprised not only the general community.
but also other members of the medical fraternity.
Dr. Kcnued is a graduate of the College of Phy-
sicians and urgeons of the city of New York, and
was for three years a surgeon 1n the United States
:u‘myduring our into war. He has also been a
member for several years of the Ulster County
Medical Society. As usurgeou he has no superi-
or in the Stute—bemg smgularly bold. skillful and
unprecedently successful In his operations. Is
it not a. fair inference. we ask. that when a sur-
geon, who has operated In so many vital cases
and never lost one of them. assures the people
that the Favorite Remedy purifies the blood,
thereby curing Scofulu. and all Scrol‘ulous Afl‘ec-
tions. Billions Disorders, Kidney Complaints,
Constipation of the Bowels, as well as all the
large class of ills pecuhar to women—that they
simply take him at his word and are cured ac-
cording to promise ? In fact the Doctor himself
