OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON, J ans 7, 1886.
DIIAD Gazsrra :—The President’s wed-
ding at the White House and oleomargar-
the faithful old veteran ought to be retired
0
n a full pay pension. ‘
muons or m WEDDING.
The Presidental marriage had several
quite humorous incidents connected there-
with. The night of the ceremony the
w
wide open and all the rooms ablpze with
gas lights. The beautiful evenmg, and
indows of the White House Were thrown
inc at the capitol were the absorbing sub- the excitement and music drew a motley
jects in Washington ‘9 well as throughout crowd all about the mansion. The iron
. the DIIIOD. last week. The wedding cere— fences and balusters were densely fringed
mony was deemed‘by plain and sensible with black and white urchins,while the
people to have been well conceived and walks and rogdwayfl were packed with
carried out in a plain and dignified way
as became the democratic head of a demo-
cratic people. True, there was much said
in criticism of some of the details by
extreme “society” swells, both male and
female, who are nothing if not apeing the
English snob. “you know." To some such
the hurrying across the ocean Of his fu-
ture bride, scurrying her about New York
harbor in a tag so as to escape detection,
keeping her imprisoned in a New York
hotel like a caged bird, then hustling her
on here by a midnight train to be received
at the depot by his clerk, while the to be
husband prolonged his rest in bed and let
his physical and intellectual energies ex-
pand in the genial influences of a pro-
longed morning nap; then to rush her in
on his own arm, unattended by man or
maiden, and halt her abruptly before the
good Dr. Sunderland to be married, and
last, but not least, as soon as the cham-
paigne, which flowed like -a sparkling
river, was quafied, to hustle her Off on a
twelve-hour rail trip by night to the top-
most crag of the Alleghanies, following
upon her sea voyage and previous all.
night’s unrest, ’is criticised as just like an
inexperienced, incorrigible and unfeeling
old |bachelor's lack of consideration and
brutal treatment of a young and timid
maiden, whose limited knowledge of the
worldvand of men and things would not
permit her tointerpose an objection. On
the other hand those who view the situ-
ation calmly, and from a practical and
common sense standpoint. it was the most
natural thing in the world that these plain
people, all unused in their past history to
the .fiummeries of “society” life, should
feel a justifiable ambition in making the
event historical by solemnizing their mar-
riage vows in the executive mansion
rather than. at Dr. Beecher’s Plymouth
church, where ,many had supposed it
would take place on Memorial day. Then,
too, the omission of the “giving away of
the, bride," and the custom of f‘best man”
and maiden attendants, all tended to the
beauty of simplicity, and it is said that Dr.
Sunderland never pronounced the mar-
riage ceremony with more heartfelt solem-
nity Of manner and utterance. The slyly
slipping out of the back door of the White
House to escape the waiting train at the
outskirts of the city is also censured by
some, but to others it seems well planned -
and justified by the fact that a great mass
of people, from the legions of darkey gut-
ter snipes to scores of congressmen,
attracted by the music and;the general in-
terest of the occasion, had choked up the
main drive way to the White House so
that egress would have been very uncom-
fortable if not impossible. After having
been the target of so much even friendly
gossip and espionage it was most natural
that the newly wedded pair should desire
to escape for a little season “the intense
glare of that light that doth shine upon a
throne." TheBaltimore andOhiorailroad,
with a keen eye to advertising one of [the
most delightful, but, as yet, not over re-
munerative mountain resorts in the
country, were only too glad to furnish the
President every facility for passing a quiet
and enjoyable honeymoon at their menu-
tain :hostelry at Deer Park. All in all,
this act of the president, and ; the kindly
interest it has aWakened in the hearts of
the whole American people will prove
one of the sagacious '_as Well as popular
acts of his whole public life, for the
charm of its romance and unostentatious
and sweet simplicity has won the loving
tribute of all whose good feelings and
opinions are worth our President's regard.
The return of the happy couple is awaited
by local society with intense interest and
impatience.
Seldom has any matter of legislative
action caused more intense interest than
the oleomargarine bill, taxing manufac-
tured imitations of butter. The truth, no
doubt, is that there is a good and health-
ful and even palatable imitation butter
made of beef fats and suets, but the testi-
mony in the hearing that the fats of dead
and putrid animals of all sorts were like.
wise used, rather reconciled the listener
to the hard fate of the average, rancid
boarding house grades of honest cow but-
ter. Messrs. Waite, Buck and Seymour
voted to sustain the bill to label and tax
these imitations, and Mitchell voted to let
it continue to thrive as the poor man’s
butter and an honest manufacturing in-
terest. The farmers and daryman won
their victory after a most spirited struggle
in the house, but its fate in the senates
awaits future action.
HON. JOHN T. WAIT.
Speaking with an earnest and one of the
ablest republicans in congress the other
day as to the political prospects in Connec-
ticut, he remarked that the people of our
state could hardly make a graver mistake
"or commit a greater folly than to fail to
return our veteran congressman and father
Of ,the house, Hon. John T. Waite, of
Norwich. It is most sincerely to be hoped
that this is the intelligent view our repub-
lican friends in the Third district will take
of the matter this fall. It is natural
enough that Colonel Waite at his time of
life, and after his long and arduous ser-
vices in congcss, would prefer to retire to
the comforts and quiet of private life, but
such a public servant 'as he has proven
should be forced to serve and, if need be,
“die in the harness” for the public good.

speech before going home. It is said by
his politicaifriends that Mr. Hurd went
to Connecticut to preach free-trade at the
special and earnest solicitation of Iron-
monger Sergeant, of New Haven.
A PENSION BILL varoan.
The President found time Wednesday,
before his marriage, to send a message to
the senate vetoing an act granting a pen-
sion to a poor Irish soldier, who was
wounded during the war of the rebellion.
It is said he acted as usual under the ad-
vice of “Mental and Physical Wreck"
Black. ‘
The President also. the same day, and
his last official act, pardoned out of the
penitentiary a bank cashier of this city,
who was guilty of the indiscretion of “di-
verting" a large amount of the bank’s
funds.
ssonar sassIONs.
Senator Gibson of Louisiana, has made
an able argument in favor of Senator
Platt’s resolution providing for open exec-
utive sessions of the senate. The bill will
come up for a vote just as soon as more
pressing matter of legislation are acted
upon, probably in about two weeks, and
Senator Plait is quite hopeful of a favora-
ble result. It is one of the reforms that
have got to come, for the people demand it.
A VETERAN IN 'rIIa POSTAL annual.
Mr. James H. Mart, chief clerk in the
office of the First Assistant Postmaster
General, has just entered upon his sixty.
fifth year of continuous service in the
Postofiice Department. He received his
first appointment when he was twenty-
one years old from William Taylor Barry,
who was Postmaster-General when that
office was elevated to a cabinet position
during President Andrew Jackson’s first
term. He has served under twenty-seven
Postmaster-Generals out of thirty-four.
Mr. Marr has repeatedly acted as P. M.
General and is recognized as the best

promiscuous adult humanity. When the
President’s carriage drove off from the
rear door pounds of rice were showered
all over the coach, driver and team and
scores of old shoes threwn after them.
Next morning thousands of pugnacious
sparrows covered the ground greedily de-
vouring the rice, while platoons of young
darkies were dashing here and there and
running off with, to them, valuable prizes
Of the scattered shoes, many of them, lit-
tle worn and of expensive make. The
greatest difficulty was in any case the
same party getting a pair.
The Hon. “Tim” ’Campbell, who was
sent here by his patriotic Irish constituen-
cy in New York to succeed “Sunset” Cox,
is said to have caused the President more-
amusement than all others of his demo-
cractic friends by his comments on the
wedding. The Hon. “Tim" is reported as
saying that “The wedding was all nice
and swate enough, but its going to hurt
his royal nibs, the Prisidint, with the boys,
that he sint his wife way across the say to
thim frog atin Frinch in Paris to git the
widding trousers. “I belave in protiction
to home labor, and thim’s the boys as will
remember this agin’ the Prisidint, I’m
afeard," says Tim.
The afternoon preceding the marriage
an express wagon drove up and unloaded
an elaborate baby, wagon addressed to the
President, but as the rude and indelicate
joke of some feel or crank was not appre-
ciated, it was refused and the express
messenger was told that he could take it
home for his own future use. It was said
to be worth about $30.
The society Mrs. Partington here, whose
comical misuse of big words has been a
source of infinite merriment, and who is
said to be a Carolina lady of a great deal
more wealth than education, is credited
with saying that “the wedding was truly
most lovely and romanz'tic, and the only
sad thing about it was that post mortem
child."
PRESIDENTIAL PARTY AT omen.
to go to church in the mountains, without
creating disgust. His newly made Post-
master ,up there undertook. to be a little
“too previous” to suit the staid Presbyte-
rians at whose church the President and
his bride worshipped yesterday. Said
P. M. is a local Methodist exhorter and
has one son, one son-in-law and two
daughters in office, under Cleveland and
when he was invited to pray and fervently
prayed that the President might “be long
continued in office," the Presbyterian
worshipers felt that his petition was justi-
fied on personal grounds, but when he ran
to the President’scarriage and opened the
door and assisted the party to alight upon
a new platform the Presbyterians had
placed there the day before in anticipation
of the Presidential party’s .visit and this
fervent M. E. brother vouchsafed to tell
the President that the platform had been
put there expressly for his use, and then
trotted as escort by the President’s side to
the pew reserved for the party and usher-
ed them in, the staid Presbyterians insist-
ed the patriotic andficountry serving ex-
horter was taking entirely too much upon
himself at a church of which he was not
a member or even an attendant.
PENSIONS IN 517mm; 4
At Saturday’s P. M. session of the Sen-
ate, two hundred and twenty pension cases
were passed. Most of these were of a
pitiable nature, but there is no telling how
many of them Commissioner of Pensions
Black can coax the President to veto.
Senator Ingalls got after Commissioner
Sparks of the Land office, as sharply as
he did “Imposter” Black for clear viola-
tions of law in the administration of his
Office. Sparks and Black are thephenom-
enai knaves or fools, or both, of this ad-
ministration.
