OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
Wasnmo'rou, December 21, 1885.
DEAR GAZETi‘Et—We have had a week
of almost perfect Indian summer weather.
Sunday and Monday were wet and dolcful
days, but Tuesday came with balmy air
and sunshine, which has lasted for a full
week, and the Christmas goods merchants
have been in ecstacies over the mild and
sunny weather and the crowds of par-
chasers filling the streets and stores. Miss
Cleveland, the presrdent’s sister, has taken
an active interest in the seciety formed
here by 'll'en two or three winters
si" - . sided over by Miss Nellie
1r the purpose of seeking
..utc children in the dis-
pl-esenting such as have no other
. .45 of obtaining a Christmas gift with
some trifling toy or necessary article of
comfort, so that their little hearts may be
made glad on at least one day of the year.
Alpllilanthropic citizen here has for several
years made it a practice to take out of the
post oflice all letters addressed to “Santa
Claus," and to send a gift in response to
the childish petitioner’s request. At first
but a very few of these juvenile epistles
were deposited, but last year he obtained
several score, and this year expects them
to exceed a hundred, as one poor child is
sure to communicate to another its good
luck in thus addressing the children’s
patron saint, and so every year more and
more of these letters are written and thus
dropped into the Washington post office.
His collection is a rare and touching one,
and one letter we have seen, written by an
orphan ,of six years, would bring tears to
the eyes of any one with a grain of human
sympathy. How abundantly has this
modest philanthropist demonstrated the
truth that “it is more blessed to give than
to receive." We would rather have his
quiet enjoyment of his nnostentations
work than all the wealth of the Vander-
bilts.
.TKE new nousll:~ RULES.
The new rules of the house as revised
by Mr. Morrison and reported from the
committee on rules,were adopted Saturday
by the'dccisivc vote of226 to 70, a majority
so large as to relieve the controversy on
tirely of the personal features with which
there has been more or less of an effort on
both sidesofthe question to invest it.
The result shows that the house deemed
certain changes of the rules, involving a
re-distribution of committees, essential to
the more rapid dispatch of business. It
was not so much of a triumph for Mr.
Morrison or of a defeat for Mr. Randall,
as an expression of Opinion in accordance
with what is believed to be the public
sentiment of the country. Something
had to be done by thefllousc in the direc-
tion of parliamentary reform in order to
get on with the imperative legislation of
the session. ‘
'rnr. ROAR anL.
Mr. Evnrts made his maiden speech in
the senate in support of ‘ Judge Hoar’s
Presidential Succession bill. It was a
lawyerly argument and though without
oratorical quality was closely listened to
by the senate and galleries. Senator
Edmunds made an effort to amend the
bill so as to provide for a popular election
at the earliest reasonable time, after such
a vacancy occurring, but it was largely
voted ' down. In the house Saturday a
- few democrats were exceedingly anxious
to take. up the senate bill and pass it be-
fore_ the holiday adjournrggnt,’ but the
.taunts of Reed with the facts that only
one year ago this same bill was scouted
by the democrats of the house, so sickened
them that they were glad to let it go over.
There will be no trouble about its becom-
ing a law now, however, as it makes
secretary Bayard instead of Senator Sher-
man president in event of the death of
Mr. Cleveland.

g sman Price, ofWisconsin, was the
only man who had the 'hardihood to vote
“nay.” It takes effect from the 23d day
of July last, the day her here husband
died.
DAKOTA .
The senate was treated to quite a cy-
clone of dcmOcratic indignation, :because
of the action of the citizens of the territory
‘ apatie’nt at the delay of
, them their legal right of
‘ . -3‘ Union of States, recent.
. .zed a state government
for themselves. The democratic senators
seem to forget that California and Oregon
came into the Union in precisely this way.
Delegate Gifford, 'of Dakota, cites thirteen
states, which, when in their territorial
condition, were guilty of the same “con-
structivc treason." The pinch with the
democrats is that Dakota comes in, if at
all, as a republican state, and that is the
sole and only thing that has kept her
kuoeking at the doors of congress so long
to be admitted into the sisterhood of
states. What a pity it is that Utah couldn't
put aside her beastliness so as to walk in
as a democratic state and thus balance
.\
Dakota. In the discussion Friday Senator
Vest had the frankness tq aver that he
“fought for his party.". “I am not a
mngwump,” said he with sneering em-
phasis. .
rm: roamarv nope.
Representative Levering Saturday pres,
sented a petition in the house by Colonel
David P. Muzzcy, Third Massachusetts
Cavalry, and sixty other survivors of the
s'tbrming column known as the “Forlorn
Hope,” organized for an assault upon
Port Hudson, La., June 15, 1863, praying
congress to grant them medals as prom-
ised in the order-of “General Banks.”
' RECESS.
There is not likely to be any business of
importance transacted in either house to-
day, but both bodies are expected to ad-
journ over this evening till: after New
Year’s day. Many senators and members
have already stampeded for their homes,
the democratic members especially, big
with a sort of expectant dread of the fun
they are sure to have over the tarlff, silver
and other similar bills on the reassembling
of congress.
reason sromxrrou.
A bill was submitted to the house last
Friday to appropriate $8,000 to enable the
attorney-general to employ a clerical force
sufficient to aid in the preparation of
papers in the French Spoliation claims,
and to provide quarters in the department
of justice. Thelofllcial having charge of
these claims at present is crowded in a
room with two other gentlemen.
When congress passed the bill referring
these claims to the court of claims it
required the attorney-general to resist
them by all legal and proper defense.
There are now 535 claims of this class now,
filed in the court of claims, and there will
probably be in the near future 1,500 in all.
Some of the claims .now filed upon the
part of the claimants contain as mucll as
twenty pages of printed matter. All this
has to be carefully reviewed, and requests
for findings and a brief have to be filed in
each case. . -
The departmcutof justice has no clerical
force to put to this work. Grave consid-
iand various rules of evidence governing
the different questions must be considered.
That the government’s attorney may make
full preparations for the defense, it be-
comes necessary for him to examine the
mass of manuscript and printed matter
now in the state department. Some of
these are in the .French language and
~ must be translated in order to be utilized.
When congress passed the act last winter
it omitted to-put the means in the control
of the attorney-general to carry out. the
object of the act. The number, variety of
the cases, the importance of the questions
that arise, and the vast amount of materi-
al to be looked over require a considerable
force.
The transfer of these claims to the coiirt
of claims largely increases the business of
‘ that tribunal, as it also increases the busi-
ness of tllc department of justice. The
and it is natural that their heirs, who are
scattered over the country, are very anx-
ious that a conclusion may be reached.
With the view of carrying out the act of
congress, the attorney—general asked for a
sufficient force to properly look into the
claims. 4 ,
Mr. Leonard A. Bradley. who has been
here a week or more searching the records
for proofs of the claims of Elipllalct Lock-
wood, llas found in the treasury depart-
ment sufficient proof as he thinks to re-
cover the claims for the Norwalk heirs.
Ex-Sehator Cragin has also found at the
state department such proof as he thinks
will secure the claims of the Norwalk
Selleck and Kellogg heirs. Administration
will have to be taken out, and powers of
attorney conferred in order to aut‘orize a
due prosecution of these claims before the
court here. ' '
saw HAVEN rcsr orr’rcn.
Postmaster English was here last week.
as is reported, to get himself out of a hole
into which his inexperience in postal
matters has plunged him. As the stories
go he took a government agent into his
confidence, and told him that he was
greatly in need of an allowance of more
clerks in order to keep the New Haven
post ofiice up to its .llitherto widely rc-
puted efficiency. The departnicnt agent
suggested, so it. is said, that an applica-
tion for more clerks and increased expendi-
ture at the New Haven post office so soon
after falling into the hands of the “re:
trenchmcnt and reform party” would
.create unfavorable criticism, and the dc-
partment would bcrloth for that reason to
grant his petition if sent forward. Matters
ran on for some time when the new post-
master fouud “something had got to be
done” ashis force, owing to natural in-
crease of business and replacing old and
expert clerks‘by new and inexperienced
democratic friends, lllld resulted ill inun-
datirvghis oflicc, and so clogging its wheels
as to make additional help imperative.
Thc postal agent ‘was again summoned,
when the cute idea struck him that the
salaries of the present force might be so cut
down that the three or four men needed
fund thus pared from the salaries of
the old clerks. Mr. English, it is
aver-red, eagerly fell into the scheme, and
this is the rock on which he has split.
With the postal agent’s aid hciinventoried
a scaling down of from $600 'per annum
from his chief clerk’s pay, to $50 from the
sweepers and porters, aggregating in all a
reduction of about $2,000. This was
promptly forwarded to the deparment
here, and the out down was even more
promptly ordered by the postmaster-gen—
eral, but no new clerks were allowed.
This is said to be about the size of the
“hole” in which New Haven’s new post-
master was floundering about Washington
all last week, and retllrned home at the
end of a fruitless campaign “a sadder and
a wiser man.” We met Mr. English for a
moment and found him iogbe, like his
more distinguished uncle, a most genial
and agreeable gentleman, but. as we had
heard the story prior to, the meeting, he
impressed us as a man who felt that he had
very distinctly “put his foot in it.”
. oomuorrour POSTMASTERS.
The President sent in to-day the name of
Wm. H. Miller to be postmaster at Mel-idea in
place of the present incumbent whose resigna-
non was sen in some two or more weeks ago.
Also; Isaac LU Horton to be posimas'er at
getliicl and, Joseph S. Williams ’ at Mystic
ri go. _
The postofiice de artment notified General
Hapley tp-day that t e application of postmas-
ter English of New Haven, for an increased al-
lowance so as to employ additional office force,
hadbeen granted to the extent of $1.900; so he
is thus let out of his “hole.”
