OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON, June 14, 1886.
DEAR GAZETTE :—Congress drags its
weary length along. If censure is due, it
is chargable entirely to the democratic
house, for the republican senate is well
up with all the important measures it is
permitted to pass upon independent of the
house. So conspicuous has the dilatory,
evasive and childish action of the house
become that the President’s Washington
organ, the Post, is almost daily coaxing,
scolding and driving the house up to duty
in double-leaded editorial leaders. It is
apparent enough from this and other sig-
nals of distress that the administration is
beginning to awake to the necessity of its
party making some kind of a creditable
record in congress before it goes before
the people in the fall elections. The
President desires a limit to our over-
whelmin g and burdensome silver coinage ;
he wishes a conservative revision of the
the tariff to appease the clamor of large
portions of his party, and he desires some-
thing to he done in the way of, at least,
starting out for the creation of a decent
navy. Allthese subjects have been per-
mitted to drift along till now, in the last of
the session, the party leaders seem to have
awoke up in a panic, that nothing has
been done and probably nothing can be
done at this session to promote these and
other great important measures. It is
true Morrison has agreed to bring up his
tariff bill on Thursday, but he is such an
extremist that Randall and his allies will
join with republican members of the house
for its defeat. The reform in silver coin-
age will probably not be attempted, and
as for starting out for any proper con-
struction of a naval establishment at this
stage of the session the project is well
nigh hopeless, and yet, as the Post very
truly says, in its last pounding given the
democratic majority of the house, “the
people unanimously demand that some
beginning shall be made to build up an'
American navy.” As ever, the demo-
cratic party has shown itself incapable of
decent government of either themselves
or the nation. More fuss and attention
has been given in cabinet circles over the
one little four inch trout the president’s
bride hooked, (with a worm and not a
fly), out of ex-Senator Davis trout-stocked
pond, than over the whole Canadian fish-
ery question, which threatens to deprive
thousands of our citizens . of their legiti-
mate livelihood, and our whole people of
an important portion of their year’s stock
of food. But this is not the first time the
American people have paid sore for plac-
ing the democracy in power.
Bx mm FRUITS, are.
During the last presidential campaign
it was freely charged, and as spiritedly
denied, that if the people wanted to
place the confederates in the saddle, to
fire the southern heart, and rekindle the
old rebel sentiment at the south, it was
only necessary to defeat Mr. Blaine. Well,
it was done, and mainly through the dis-
gruntlement of timid republicans, and
we have the result. Only a few weeks
since the arch traitor Chieftain was plod-
ding through the south and uttering his
unrepentant treason and receiving plaudits
that neither Lincoln, Grant nor Garfield
would have inspired even though they
had risen from the dead. But this is a
trivial matter compared with what has
been wrtnessed here in congress within a
week. First, a committee of the house,
whose chairman and a majority of whose
members are democrats, sat and listened
for hours to an argument addressed to
,them insisting upon the duty and legal
resdonsibility of this government paying
the rebel debt.
Next, Confedederate General Joseph
Wheeler, of Alabama, seizes upon the
hours devoted, under the rules of the
house, for the consideration of invalid
pension bills, to deliver such an outrage-
ous assault upon the good name and pure
fame of that hero of heroes. Edwin M.
Stanton, as would not have been true.
decent or fitting in the rebel house of
congress at Richmond. This man, edu-»
cated in the art of war at West Point
at the expense of the nation, and who
' forcswore the oath there taken and rushed
to take up arms against the country that
had fostered him, himself gives the fol-
lowing summary of his brilliant career
in the last Congressional Directory :—
Joseph Wheeler, of Wheeler, was born
at Augusta, Georgia, September 10, 1836;
graduated in the five-year course in the
Military Academy at West Point in 1859;
was commissioned in the United States
army as lieutenant of Dragoons; served in
Kansas and New Mexico; resigned in
1861, and was appointed as lieutenant of
artillery in the Confederate army; was
promoted, and commanded an infantry
brigade at the battle of Shiloh; was soon
afterwards again promoted, and appoint-
ed to the command of the army corps of
cavalry of 'the western army,. continuin
in that position until the war closed, an
engaging in nearly all the active military
operations of the southwest; by joint
resolution of the Confederate congress re-
ceivcdthe thanks of that body for daring
and skill in many engagements, and for
the successful defence of the city of Aiken
received the thanks of the state 'of South
Carolina; upon the death of Gen. Stuart
became the senior cavalry general of the
Confederate armies, and commanded all
the forces, infantry, cavalry and artillery,
in many important engagements ; and
was elected to the forty-ninth congress as
a dcmocrat,_receivin 12,912 votes against
11,559 for Lionel W. ay, independent.
Judge Kelley, the Father of the House,
took it upon himself to tear the mask from
this arrant traitor and in terms as fitting as
deserved, rebuke his wicked presumption.
In the course of his remarks Judge Kelly
sent to the desk and had read a private
lcttcr,nevcr before seen by the public,writ—
ten by that great war minister, to a clergy-
man friend, ln the strictest confidenceand
at a time when his heart was full of sen-
sitive indignation at the false accusations
made against him, while living. In the
body of thatletter, those patriotic gems of
thought are found :—
“I knew that everything I cherish and
hold dear would be sacrificed by accept-
ing office, but I thought I might help save
the country, and for that I was willing to
perish."
“I am willing that the whole world
shall revile me rather than to diminish one
grain of the strength needed to conquer ,
the rebels.”
“In a struggle like this, justice or credit
to individuals is but dust in the balance.”
“There could be no greater madness for
a man to encounter what I do for anything
else than motives that overleap time and
look forward to eternity.”
“I believe that God Almighty founded
this government, and for my acts in the
effort to maintain it I expect to stand be-
fore Him in judgment.”
These noble sentiments from the pen of
the man whom the Lord seemed to have
raised up as the needed supporter:and
supplement of President Lincoln, were
uttered in reply to those who maligned
him while living. It was left for the rebel
General Joe Wheeler to assail him dead in
the American House of Representatives.
The only note of disapproval of this as-
sault, from any democratic source is the
followingimild rebuke from the President’s
organ the Post .1—
“There is room for a great deal of hon-
est controversy concerning the real char-
acter of Lincoln and Stanton and Grant,
and even of Robert E. Lee and Jefferson
Davis; but the national pulse yet beats
too high for any deliberate discussion of
it, and the only wise thing is to leave all
such questions for the time unsettled."
The third exhibition of this reform and
renewed democratic spirit was in a report
made to the Senate by Senator Brown of
Georgia, who in the bodonf it referred to
thc.Union army as the “bowling Army.”
Gen. Hawley was quick to catch this in.
sult to the “boys in blue” and to prevent a
scene in the Senate, the democratic senator
Lovasfrn‘a sonmnns so. .
There have been a few more than a
score of vetoes sent in by the President
to date and with two exceptions they have
been of bills granting pensions from $2 to
$8 per month to Union soldiers, whose
cases .could not pass under the general
law yet were well enough sustained by
proof ‘ to gain the unanimous support of
the circumspect and: cautious ,‘Pension
Committees of both the Senate and 3HOUSC.
It is charged that “mental and physical
wreck" Black creeps up the back stairs (f
the White House and inspires these vetoes.
while he draws nearly one hundred dollars
a week for disgracing thcjofliee oszension
Commissioner .and. one hundred dollars
more of pension Imoney. each: and every
month, for “a total and physical wreck.”
The frequency of:these pensionivctocs has
already alarmed the leaders of the demo-
cratic party and the President has been
visited and [urged to be less restrictivejn
his future action.
LOVE Tim muonaus T00.
P. M. Gen. Vilas met with a vexatious
mishap in the lHousc last week. The
Chairman of the P. 0. Committee had
addressed a letter to:him to know how the
eight hour bill, applied to letter carriers
would effect the revenues of his depart-
ment. He sent a confidential reply, that
the bill ought not to pass as placing letter
carriers on the eight:hour rule, as provid-
ed for 'other government laborers, would
cost the department $1,250,000. By some
inadvertence this private'flcommunication
got read out loud in the House and away
went another prop from under thc;organ-
ized labor vote of the country.
orviL snavrcn.
The file in the teeth and ashes in the
mouth of the democrats in Congress has
been the civil service law, which that party
was chiefly instrumental in getting enacted
at a time when they thought they had noth-
ing to lose and much to make by its on-
forcement. Now the scene is shifted and
it is the Mordecai in their gate. Sam Ran-
“ dall last week tried 9. dodge to thwart the
enforcementfof the law, without the cour-
age Senator Vance liaszghad to openly de-
mand a repeal of the law, but although he
has fixed the Legisla‘ive appropriation
Bill so that it embodies the practical rc-
peal of the law, it is doubtful if he can get
it enacted into law. It is a neat scheme
to get around the law without having it
repealed. When a Congressman was ask”-
ed if the President would not veto it, if it
were to pass he replied :—“Possibly he
might that feature of the hill whichzrclates
to the civil service, but the truth is Cleve-
land is not carrying out any reform ex-
cept where it shows.”

Probably the most successful and cfli-
cient Public Printer the government has
ever had is S. P. Rounds of Illinois. His
labors are almost infinite in variety and
exacting detail, and he has disbursed,
without the loss of a cent, many millions
of dollars of the public money. His sala-
ry is $4,500. The same duties and re-
sponsibilities Would in commercial life
readily command from six to twenty
thousand dollars for adequate capacity,

the public printer’s salary to $4,000. II 01-

Kent's Soldiers’ Monument.
The quiet, rural village of Kent, nestling
among the hills of Litchlield county, with
a population of barely 1,500, and that on
the retrograde, has more than once dem-
onstrated her ability to successfully com-
ppte with, and in many instances for out-
strip in public spirit and “enterprises of
great pith and moment,” her more preten-
tious neighbors of metropolitan accom-
plishments. Her every undertaking for
town is characterized by the evident con-
viction that what is worth doing is worth
doing well. Her latest achievement was
the erection of a soldiers’ monument, the
work of which was undertaken and car-
ried to a. successful end without fuss or
ostentation, and on Wednesday last the
formal ceremony of presentation occurred
in the presence of fully 2,000 patriotic
and enthusiastic spectators. There was a
parade of veterans from Kent, Cornwall
and New Milford, with "two. drum corps
andabrass band, the rear guard being
the stalwart and well drilled W ater Witch
hose company, of New Milford, under the
command of the handsome and gallant
Senator“Nick” Staub with his trumpet
crammed full of bouquets and his benevo-
lent countenancc beaming with radiant
smiles and military mustachcs. A most
bountiful and epicurean collation was
served in the town ball by the patriotic
ladies of Kent. The spread-eagle exer-
cises were held on a platform near the
monument, Rev. E. S. Porter being chair-
man. Hon. B.G. NorthrOp, late secretary
of the state board of education, formerly
a resident of Kent, made the formal
presentation; Rev. E. P. Payson, of An-
sonia, acknowledged the same on behalf
of the citizens. The orators of the day
were ex-Gov. Chas. B. Andrews, an old-
time Kent resident; Rev. W. W. Andrews,
who preached in Kent years ago,and Rev.
T. J. Lee. the eloquent young divine of
New Milford. In the intervals of the
oratory the Sharon brass band blew out
patriotic music, cannons boomed, with the
inevitable and orthodox accident of a
premature explosion of the ammunition
box, and a heltcr skcltcr scrambling of the
crowd to escape from 11 fractions and
prancing horse who had no patriotism in
his soul. The entire programme was ad-
mirably carried out under the generalship
of Marshals C. S. Smith and G. R. Bull.
The monument is a modest but impos-
ing one, of Quincy granite, about twenty
feet in height, with suitably inscribed
tablets, and cost in the neighborhood of
$2,000.
As well as to the memory of Kent’s
fallen soldiers, it stands a lasting monu-
ment to the grateful patriotism of her
llving and enterprising citizens, who
quietly accomplished their labor of love
while larger towns and cities, with a view
to the same result, delay or jeopardize the
work by intestine squabblcs for committee
posts of honor, disputes over locations,
designs or contractors. All honor to
Kent!

An Elopement Case.
The New York Sun of Sunday contain-
ed the following notice of a‘fcouple who
have been quite frequently seen on. our
streets, of late:
NYACK, June 12.~—T\vo months ago Mrs.
Dr. Moellcr, wife of a wealthy druggist
here, eloped with George W. Griii'cna
‘promineut Nyack manufacturer, both
parties leaving interesting families behind
them. Dr. Mocller speedily secured a di-
vorce, but Mrs. Griifcu took nolegal steps,
saying she was as fully divorced as if she
had a decree of the court. Griflcn re-
turned to Nyack for a few days and then
again disappeared, and until yesterday
nothing was heard from him. Mrs. Grif-
fen was informed that the guilty couple
are living at Norwalk, Conn., where Mrs.
Moeller, who is a wealthy woman, has
purchased and furnished a cottage. They
have represented themselves to the good
people of Norwalk as a rich New York
artist and his wife. Griffcn’s cxtensuve
business, the manufacturing of car-head
linings, has gone to smash, and his factory
hae been leased to a cooperative shoc
company and the Knights of Labor.
Grifien and Mrs. Moellcr came to N or-
walk sometime in the latter part oprril.
They stopped at the Mahackemo for a few
days and then on April 30 came to the
Norwalk Hotel where they registered as
“George W. Griflin and wife." After
stopping there for a few days Grifiin se-
cured the carpcntcr shop lately occupied
by S. B. Wilson on Chestnut street and
made preparations for the manufacture of
car furnishings. He also rented Mr. Wil-
son’s house on the same street and the
couple started housekeeping. They live
there yet. Griffin is a man apparently
about 40 years of age. He is short and
stout, wears a slouch hat and dark blue
clothes. Mrs. Moeller is about Grifiin’s
build. When walking together on the
street the woman invariably has hold of
Griffin’s arm. Curiously enough the only
Sunday paper taken by Griffin is the Sun
and that was the only paper containing an
account of their discovery.
