Editorial Letter.
WASHINGTON, May 2, 1880.
DEAR GAZETTE:—
Interest in legislation has succumbed the
, past week tojthc greater: anxiety over the
PennsylVania-Democratic‘. State Convention.
The well known active hostility existing
between Speaker Randall as Tildcn’s best
man, and Senator Wallace as bitterly opposed
to both, and desperately hostile to Tilden’s
nomination again, absorbed the attention of
politicians of every shade of opinion. The
Speaker asked the House to be excused from
the chair from Tuesday to Thursday and fol-
lOWed Senator Wallace to the seat of conven-
tion hostilities at Harrisburg; The clans
were there enjoying a Kilkenny cat fight
when the two great ceiigressional chieftains
put in an :ippcarance. It soon became appar-
ent that neither faction could hope for suc-
cess independent of the other, and so the
cool and wise heads set themselves to work
to organize at least a temporary truce. The
result was that Wallace and Randall “shook
hands across the bloody chasm” and the
convention was run through with an apparent
show of surface good feeling, but interviews
with Democrats who have returned plainly
show that the personal bitterness between
Wallace and Randall is not in the least healed.
As Senator Wallace expressed it to a friend
yesterday, ”in the face of a dreaded, fatal
peril, for mutual safety, they assented to a
truCe.” So it seems the quarrel is to go on
just as soon as the “peril” is escaped and the
“settlement” is not to count, as in the case
of the good church sister in the event of her
getting well. So far as the result is here in—
terpreted it is all on the side of Randall,wh0‘
really accomplished all he desired and has
his great State‘s large vote in the Cincinnati
Convention 'as secure for the artful “Sammy"
as Senator Barnum has Connecticut’s. Ran—
dall, in response to the congratulations of a
colleague over his success, who said “he
hoped the delegation would support Randall
for the presidency,” said, “I am for Tilden
first, last and all the time,” and I believe he
will be nominated at Cincinnati."
Tun ANONYMOUS LETTER.
The select committee of the House to in—
vestigate the alleged attempt to corruptly
influence Representative Springcr’s vote,
resumed its consideration of the subject
Thursday, and Mr. Springer reviewed at
length th circumstances connected with the
anonymoés letter, and the reasons which in-
duced him to state in the course of his late
personal explanation iii the House his belief
that the letter was inspired by Donnelly and
Finley. The committee decided to have
photographs made Of the anonymous letter
and the Finley letter, for, the purpose of
submitting them to the scrutiny of experts.
Mr. Finley was then examined, and denied
having any knowledge whatever of the letter.
Friday, the same committee met again at 310
a. 1n. and remained in session until 4:30 p.m.
Finley was cross-examined. He said he
meant Judge Flandrau,dof St. Paul, when he
spoke Of “paid Democratic detractors of.
Donn‘elley.” By the “mercenary quasi—
Dcmocratic defenders of Washburn's bri—
bery,” he referred to all such Democrats as
defended Washburn and his methods. By
“our friends in New York” he'meant the
Democratic party of that State. The term
“I still hold close and confidential relations,”
referred to Mr. Donnelly‘s constituents and
not Mr. Ilewitt’s, and when asked if he had
been in Minnesota since 1877, he said hc'had
not.
Mr. Donnelly was examined: He denied
writing or inspiring the anonymous letter;
was first informed of it March 9th by Mr.
Julian ;.called on Mrs. Springer in regard to
it; afterward saw Mr. Springer,and promised
to do all he could to discover the writer;
Springer said if the matter became public he
would cut J ulian’s acquaintance, and said he
thought Finley was the author. Mr. Don—
nclly continued: Up to March 6th was sure
Springer would vote to seat me; was then
told by Manning that he would not; had
frequent interviews with Springer, who said
it was politic to hold back my case until the
New York Legislature had decided as to
changing the mode of selecting electors; he
said “if we seat you now, the Republicans
will raise .a clamor, whereas, if we hold back
we shall have that much advantage;” on the
morning of March 8. MnMannning came to
Mr. Julian and congratulated him, saying:
“The work you put in on Saturday has had
its effect on Springer; he has left town paired
' and wants me to go ahead and’decide the
Donnelly case before he returns;" I met
Finley a few minutes after and said “It is all
right.” The committee then adjourned till
10 o’clock Monday.
MONEY sooaxnnnnn.
Senator Davis got the insanity in his head
years ago that there was an enormous defal-
cation in the Treasury, and has made him—
self ridiculous from.time to time in connec-
tion with his said belief. lie finally got a
resolution passed to allow him to employ
experts to go through the Treasury lodgers,
which the Treasury officers were glad to
have him do. He employed a corps of ex-
ports and has had them at work for a year or
more, and after squandcring ten thousand
dollars f the people’s money he has found a
full sizgl “rnarc‘s nest.”_
The following figures show the exact dif-
ference in the accounts, and in order to
balance the books it will only require Con-
gress to pass a bill directing the Secretary of
the Treasury to make the proper entries.
(See finance report of 1871, page 20).

A bill was presented to Congress in 1870,
which was intended to enable the accounting
ofiicers of the Treasury to make proper en-
tries for the above payments. It passed the
House, but was not reached in the Senate.
Until there is legislation these defects in the
accounts must be perpetuated, but not a sin-
glofiu'thinp of loss 67‘ deficiency exists, and
Senator Davis knew this when he started out
his investigations, and knows now that the
above is 2171.90le exact and correct, and yet
We shall no doubt see this canard ground up
and made to do violent service among the
ignorant Democracy in the coming presiden-
tial canvass.
Senator Dan Vorhees was somewhat simi-
larly affected and at the last session got $25,-
000 appropriated to examine into what he
charged was a black Republican plot to steal
the state of Indiana hereafter by settling
southern negrocs there. Well, the money is
all gone, of course, and our “Tall Syca-
more” has found Out the negroes are leaving
the south of their own volition, because of
.bad treatment there and are settling else—
where in the free states to better their con-
dition, that while many have settled in
democratic Indiana, more than twice the
number have located in republican Kansas
and that politics had nothing, and humanity
everything to do with the colored exodus.
These two instances go to show how natural
it is for Democrats to squander the public,
moneys, for in neither of the above cases
would either Senator have paid seventy» five
cents out of his own pocket for the informa-
tion they professed to desire. The only
good done anyone, is the employment of a
set of idle and destitute, and too often disso-
lute, partizans, whOSe salaries and fees eat
up such appropriations, and thus, for the
time being, relieve their friends of their
support.
Mr. Anthony, from the committee on naval
affairs, reported favorably on the bill author-
izing the Secretary of the Navy to close
accounts of the late Rear Admiral A. H.
Foote, by crediting him with $834; and it
was passed. This ends the apparent dis-
grace some thoughtless clerk attached to the
noble Old Admirals’ pay account by closing
it with a red line “balanced by default."
A caucus Of Republican Senators was held
Saturday afternoon for the pdrpose of inter-
changing views on “the adjournment ques-
tinn." No caucus action was proposed or
taken, but entire unanimity of sentiment
was developed in favor Of co~operating with
what is understood to be the purpose of the
democratic leaders, to bring about a final
:uljuurmnent of this session of Congress by
the first of June. The general impression
Seemed to be that in case the session be not
ended before the meeting of the Republican
National ConvenliOn (on the 2d proximo,)
there will be a strong probability of its being
prolonged for sometime beyond the adjourn;
ment of the democratic convention in Cin—
cinnati.
DEATHS.
There have been quite a number of sud-
den and startling deaths here the past week.
Mrs. Hayes was summoned to Cincinnati to
attend the f nneral of her only brother. The
aged clerk of the U. S. Supreme Court, Mr.
D. W. Middleton, died quite suddenly,
although he had long been an invalid and his
funeral took place at the U. S. Court Room
on Friday: The pull—bearers representing
the Senate, the Cabinet, the Bar and the
citizens of the District, were Senators Davis
(of Illinois) and Carpenter, Secretaries
Evarts and Thompson, Solicitor General
Phillips and W. H. Davidge, Esq, Dr.
Blake aner. Edward Clark.
The remains Of Second Auditor French,
who was known to all the soldiers as the one
having charge of the Army accounts, were
taken to Maine for interment last Monday.
Colonel William Hemphill Jones, principal
01erk to the Committee on Ways and Means
of the House of Representatives, died Friday
morning. Colonel Jones caught a severe
cold while attending the funeral of his
brother about ten days ago, and the cold
rapidly developed into pneumonia. Colonel
Jones, who wasin his sixty-ninth year, was
a rhitivo of Wilmington, Del., and obtained
considerable prominence in that city, having
served as mayor. For many years he held
a position in the office of the First Comp-
troller of the Treasury, having at various
times served as clerk, chief clerk and acting
Comptroller. In 1861 Colonel Jones was
sent to New Orleans to look after the United
States property there, and it was to him that
Gen. Dix (then Secretary Of the Treasury)
sent the famous dispatch. “If any man
attempts to haul down the American flag
shoot himjon the spot.” Colonel Jones was
appointed clerk to the Committee on Ways
and Means at the beginning of the Forty-
fifth Congress, and had served up to time of
his death. He was a graduate of Yale, and
well and favorably known by all the alumni.
The Ways and Means Committee will take
appropriate notice of his death, and will
attend the funeral in a body.
Upon the arrival of. the steamer George
Leary from Norfolk, Friday morning, the
announcement was made that Colonel Joseph
Segar, who had takc.passagc on her at
Fortress Monroe for this city, had died on
board during the night. Mr. Segar was
arbitrator on the part of the United States
upon the Spanish claims Commission, in
which capacity he has served for some years.
He was born in King William county, ‘Va.,
in 1804. He was an ardent Clay Whig.
When Virginia seceded Colonel Segar ad—
hered to the Union and denounced the
rebellion as a logical result of Democratic
doctrines. During and since the war he
spent the larger portion of his time in Wash-
ington. In the Thirty-seventh Congress~ he
represented the Second district of Virginia,
and was chosen by the Alexandria or Pier-
point Legislature to succeed the late Hon.
Lemuel J. Bewden as United States Senator,
but was not admitted. He was, however,
partially compensated a few years ago for
his time and expenses in prosecuting his
right to his seat.
Major General Samuel P. Heintzlcman, U.
S. army, retired, died in this city this morn—
ing, in his 76th year. He had befi ailing for
same time past. He was a native of Penn-
sylvania, and graduated from West Point
July Ist, 1826.
PERSONALS.
During the session of the Cabinet the Pres-
ident tendered to Postmaster-General Key
the position of district judge Of the Eastern
and Middle districts of Tennessee made va
cant by the recent death of Judge Trigg.
The Postmaster-General accepted the posi—
lion The nomination will probably'not be
sent to the Senate until shortly before the
adjournment of the present session. Noth-
ing was said with regard to Judge Key’s suc-
cessnr, but public expectation has already
settled upon First Assistant Tyner As the
Judgesbip is a life appointment, the friends
of the Postmaster are family congratulating
him as well as the State of Tennessee. Sen—
ator Hamlin is our authority for saying that
General Key is not only the most courteous
and affable gentleman in the Cabinet, but'
really the best Republican, as well, he has
been a most competent head of the Post
Office Department and is dgervedly popu-
lar.
Commissioner Walker is laying out the
ground for an exceptionally complete 'census

is of the Navy, has an excellent record, and
comes from a family Well knOwn and highly
respected in Philadelphia. Miss Sherman is
a strict Catholic and Lieutenant Thackara is '
a non Catholic.
Congressman Butterworth, of Cincinnati,
thinks that the nomination of the ex-Presi-
dent would render very doubtful the election
of any Republican to Congress from the Cin-
cinnati districts on account of the German
opposition. .
Ina local C'nikirens Pinafore Company,
which has set the capitol agog, Gen. Wm.
T. Clark’s little daughter Katie takes the

The Bucholz'Trial.
The third trial Of Bucholz is rapidly draw-
ing to a close. The evidence for the defence
was nearly all completed on Saturday, and it
is thought that the arguments of counsel may
be made to—day.‘ The counsel are limited to
two hours each in their arguments. But little
new evidence was brought out on either side.
In regard to the watch, 'one man testifies that
he shook walnuts from the tree under which
the watch was found, and that he certainly
should have seen the watch if it was there at
the time, A New York watch case maker
testifies that a watch could not have lain long
exposed to theqweather without becoming so
rusty that it would not run. The trial will
probably result in disagreement. What then ?

Ice.
The utter impossibility of putting up much
ice in this vicinity last winter caused some
anxiety, for our people have become so ac-
customed to the use of this article that they
will hardly know how to get along with a
short supply. Of the three dealers up town
only one has any stock on hand, and it is
understood that two of the dealers have felt
forced to give up the trade for this season.
R. Ells 85 SOn, the original Plymouth Rock
Ice men, by watching their chances closely,
and by prompt action, secured a. small quan-
tity of good ice from their ponds during the
winter, which R. L. Ells is now supplying
to the public at present, at much less, than
New York rates. Last week he received
from Litchfield county, another lot of ice,
and during the summer will purchase ice and
supply his customers and general public the
best he can. The price will necessarily vary
from mouth to month—depending upon the
cost to him,——but he hopes to be able to sup-
ply the public at a price not exceeding that
charged in New York and other large cities.

Gained his Case.
Contactor G. W. Cram was in town over
Sunday. He reports that the case of G. W.
Cram 08. The Peterboro Railroad has been
decided in his favor. The actual amount
awarded to him is not known, but it is sup-
posed to be some $40,000 or more. The case
may possibly be appealed, but it is hardly
probable. ,
Mr. Cram has recently caused surveys to
be made for a branch road from Naugatuck
to connect with the New England railroad,
about two miles in length, and if the road
should be built hopes to get the contract for
the same. He now has his eyes on the Par—
allel.
FIRE Animus—A chimney in Wm.
O’Brien’s house on School street, caught fire
last Thufsdaynoon. An alarm was sounded
on the street, and the fire department,ora
part of it, responded. Damage slight.
Early Monday evening of last week, a
large kerosene Oil lamp exploded in F. Me.
Keon’s tailoring establishment, second story
in GAZETTE Building, setting fire to the
work bench, and causing a great illumina-
tion and' general alarm. The locked door.
was broken Open, when the flames were
found to extend from the bench to the
ceiling, Mr. Avery, the owner of the store
beneath, was one of the first on hand, and
very skillfully smothered the flames with a
thick winter overcoat. I-Ie spread this out
before him, boldly advanced and quickly
pressed it down over the burning oil extin-
guishing the flames instantly. The fire bell was
sounded and the entire department was out
with wonderful celerity, the firemen reciving
much praise from merchants and others for
their promptness. This incident showed
how quickly a crowd can be gathered at the
Bridge. One minute and all was quiet,
with but few people stirring in the streets,
the next minute the square was crowded
with people and all was excitement. Where
all the people came from so quickly is a
mystery still. '

Commend us to Dr. Gregory for coolness
in an emergency. Last Thursday he drove
down East avenue .to make a professional
call at Mr. Earle’s. His horse made a sharp
turn Opposite the‘ house, throwing the Doctor
out, turning the carriage over him, and then
as the carriage trighted dashed off up the
avenue at a mad rate. The Doctor picked
himself up, deliberately brushed off the dirt
from his hands and clothes, took out his note
book in which he wrote a few lines, picked
up his box of médicincs, and walked in to
prescribe for his patient. In the :meantime
the horse succeeded in breaking the harness,
and freeing himself from the damaged car—
riage, opposite the Selleek school, continued
on up the street,and was finally stopped.

Decay of the Teéth.
Arises from various causes, but principally it
may be attributed to early neglect or the in—
discriminate use of tooth powders and pastes,
which give a. momentary whiteness to the
teeth while they corrode the enamel. The
timely use of that delicate aromatic tooth—
wash, Fragrant SOZODON'I‘, will speedily
arrest the progress of decay, harden the gums
and- impart a delightful fragrance to the
breath. It removes those ravages which peo-
ple sustain in their teeth from the use of
sweet and acid articles. 4t16.
