003' WASHINGTON LETTER.
" WAsrrmo'rou, Aug. 2, 1886.

Due Gaza-nu :é-By far the most spirit-

ed impromptu-debate of the session, .took
place in the Senate Friday on the Morrison
resolution to pay out at once in redemp-
tion of our bonds all moneys in the Treas-
ury in excess of one hundred millions.
Mr. Allison opened the debate. He said
that the-House resolution proposed to set
apart, dedicate, and devote $100,000,000
for the specific purpose of redeeming
United States “notes, and for no other pur-
pose whatever. If that joint resolution
should pass it would stand in the pathway
of the Secretary of the Treasury in manag-
ing the currentbusiness. 1f the Secretary
should undertake to} use any portion of
that $100,000,000 for current obligations,
he would violate a distinct ‘and clear pro-
vision of law. Therefore it was that the
Committee on Finance had thought it wise
to reserve a further working fund of $20,-
000,000. The House resolution, he added
utterly and absolutely condemned the
financial policy of the Administration.
The Senate Committee on Finance had
mollified and sugar coated this condemna
tion. Still, it also proposed to condemn
that policy, and it wbuld stand condemned
before the country whether the resolution
should be amended or not.

Mr. McPherson (Dem., N. J.) said that
if there was one thing for which the Re-
publican party was entitled to all com-
mendation, it was for its faithful guardian-
ship of the public faith and the mainten-
ance of the public credit. It seemed,
however, as if the Democratic majority in
Congress had begun to fear that the small
remnant of the public debt furnished them
the only chance left to show that they,too,
had a financial policy, and, in eager haste,
they wanted to demonstrate it. They
proposed to deal with the surplus in the
Treasury in such a manner as must needs
trench on the reserve, or to pay the 8 per-
cent. bonds in silver dollars. To both
these propositions the Democratic Presi-
dent and the Democratic Secretary of the
Treasury were unalterably opposed. The
Democratic majority in Congress proposed
to rob the Treasury of its gold reserve by
continuing to coin silver dollars (worth 73
cents) at the rate of 2,500,000 a month. If
theHouse resolution was passed then the
country would be at once on a silver basis.
It would be notice to the Treasury that it
could no longer maintain the parity be-
tween the two coins, and the public would
have to take care of itself.

Mr. Edmunds said that in Colorado,
New York, Vermont, Missippi, and every-
where people can borrow money, on rea-
sonable and fair security, at less rates
than he could at any time within the last
hundred years ?

Mr. Shaman said that the redemption
fund should not be less than $100,000.000.
He would let that fund stand as long as
the pyramids stand, as the basis for the
redemption of $343,000,000 of greenbacks.
The effect of the resolution as it passed
the House would be (though not so in-
tended) to contract the national bank cir-
culation to the amount of $100,000,000.

Mr. Jones of Nevada closed the debate
in a two hours’ speech, in which he fully
elucidated his views as to the desirable-
ness of an unlimited silver coinage and

circulation. Mr. Jones is from a state
where the chief article of export is silver.
Members close to the President say he
would veto the Morrison resolution as‘it
came from the House, but will sign it as
amended by the Senate.
rm: REBELLION anooans.

The Senate committee on appropriations
have stricken out of the legislative appro-
priation bill the entire provision for the
publication of the records of the rebellion.
This was done upon the assertion that in
the compilation a wide discretion is used
in favor of material tending to commend
or eulogize the lost cause, while material
against that cause is suppressed. In strik-
ing out, the committee disclaim any inten-
tion of 'stopping the publication of these
records.

OVER TWENTY-TWO mousasn.

esting to “reformers” as well as those
Democrats who are concerned in the dis-
tribution of the offices, are given in the
annual report of the chief 1 f the appoint-
ment division of the Postoflicc Depart-
ment, issued yesterday. For instance. it
shows that no less than 22,747 new post-
masters were appointed during the last fis-
cal year, and it is estimated that at lesat
one removal of an old and tried postmas-
ter has taken place for every ten minutes
of the official day at the Postotfice De-
partment since the end of the fiscal year,-
or the 30!.h day of June. In Connecticut
up to 3'1in let, there had been a total of
one hundred and seventy~onc new appoint.
ments, although Connecticut has felt the

fall of Postmaster-General Vilas’ axe less
frequently than almost any other state.
The utter demoralization and wreck of the
spendidly efficient postal service, which
the democrats found on coming into Na-
tional control, is one most conspicuous as
well as annoying results the country has
to endure consequent upon that event.
Last week two democratic members of the
House,',were heard violently condemning
the present deplorable condition of the
mail service. Both united in stating that
no dependence whatever could be placed
on their letters and documents being cor-
rectly forwarded, delivered or received.
One narrated a case where a constituent
particularly desired a certain public docu-
ment, which was sent, and not being re-
ceived in due time was sent again and
again missing, was sent the third time
and failed of reaching its destination.
The member then had a copy addressed
to himself at his home postofiice, thinking
by this ruse the much desired document
could be got through and then handed
over to his friend, but this fourth copy
failed to reach its plainly addressed desti-
nation. The explanation, in main part is,
that nearly three thousand utterly inexpes
rienced and in many cases, dissipated and
entirely incompetent route agents and
mail car clerks have been put in place of
a corps of the sharpest, ablest and the
best trained employee in any other gov-
ernment department. The result of such
wholesale charges for partisan purposes
solely, is obvious and we are now, as an
inevitable consequence reaping the bitter
fruits of this political folly.

The President has vetoed the bill pro—
viding for the erection of apublic building

'at Springfield, Mass., and also the bill pro-
viding for a bridge across Lake Champlain
in Vermont.

The bridge bill was vetoed because one
like it was passed June 20th, 1884. The
President concludes that Congress was in
ignorance of this fact, and didn‘t know‘
what it was about in passing a second bill.
The laughter in the Senate was mainly di-
rected upon grave Senator Edmunds.
There is now the deepest interest at the
capitol whenever the President's secretary
puts in an appearance in either house as
the regular batch of vetoes are always an-
ticipated.

Senators Edmunds, Frye, Evarts, Mor-

Secretary of the Interior Department, drew
up the opinion that the United States

ephone Company to test the validity of

ed Friday without opposition and without
the usual reference to Committee.

Public Printer Rounds has placed his
resignation in the hands of the President,
but has heard nothing from it yet. Upon
the acceptance of his resignation he will
remove to Omaha, where he will conduct
'a newspaper, which he has recently pur-
chased. Mr. Rounds has proved himself
to have been the most popular as well as
efficient Public Printer who has ever tilled
that trying and responsible position and
the best wishes of public men of all parties
will attend him whithersoever he goes;
May abundant success attend him.

MRS. CHASE AT THE wmrs HOUSE.

Mrs. Kate Chase called upon the Presi-
dent this afternoon by appointment and
was received in the Red Parlor, where a
quarter of an hour was passed in pleasant
conversation. Mrs. Cleveland and her
mother were absent from the Mansion
when the visit occurred. She is at the
capital superintending arrangements for
the removal of the remains of her distin-
guished father, who was so prominently
identified with the administration and sub.
sequently Chief Justice.
ms WAn RECORD 0. x.

The President sent to the Senate the
nomination of Dabney H. Maury, of Vir-
ginia, to be envoy extraordinary and min-
ister plenipotentiary of the United States
to the United States of Columbia. :Of
course the first question asked on the pre-
sentation of this new candinate for diplo-
matic honor was, “was his army record of
the right kind 1'" An examination proves
it correct. By a special order of the War
Department J uue 25, 1861, Captain Dabney
was ordered dismissed from the United
States service for treason. He was edu-
cated at West Point at the Government's
expense, but joined the rebel army and
did all that he could to destroy the Gov-
ernment. The President now nominates
him to represent us abroad, as so many
others he has appointed did, and so his
war record is of the right sort to entitle
him to be made United States minister to
Columbia one of the most important of
our South American sister republics. He
is a native of Fredericsburg and about
sixty years of age. ‘

Mrs. Folsom, the mother of Mrs. Cleve-
land arrived here last week to attend her
daughter’s admission to membership in
Rev. Dr. Sunderlaud‘s First Presbyterian
church, which interesting event transpired
yesterday, as indicated in last week’s GA-
zn-r'rii. Rev. Dr. Childs assisted Dr. Sun-
derland at the communion service. The
name fend off by the clergyman was‘ ‘Frank
Folsom Cleveland,"which may be accepted
as a final settlement of the much discussed
question of “Frankie" vs. “Frank." and a
criterion for linguists and students of the
patronymics. The event was kept a pro-
found secret, the (3mm being the only
paper in the country having had the item in
advance of the event.

The Canaan News, apropos of vacation
time, thinks the editors deserve a longer
rest than the clergy, because they cannot
“exchange" or give their patrons the same
dose twice to a dozen times,but must dish
up something new each week, “whereas
the minister simply retells the ‘old, old
story,’ which has been retold weekly for
18} centuries."

printed from new type andis again printed

tion, much to the relief of his readers.
His rampageous substitute during his ab-

the flutter in which we found the old hens
of this community on our return; by the
warlike attitude of the roosters, and the
milled plumage of our sweet singers in
the tree tops, we might suppose that in
our absence 0. big hawk or a baldlieaded
eagle had swooped down upon them.”

The Anti-Saloon Movement.

The great majority of republican party
voters are on the side of temperance, scri—
ously desirous of reducing the evil of dram
drinking. They recognize the fact that
there are limits, constitutional and other.
The “Anti-saloon" movement, originating
with republicans, which is now generally
and thoughtfully discussed is intended to
counteract the political influence of saloon
keepers and liquor dealers in legislation,
an influence strong enough to prevent any
such restriction upon the number and
character of dram-shops as a high license
law would be. There are plenty of strong
temperance men who are not prohibition-
ists, and one object of the new movement;
is to unite all temperance men in a prac—
tical opposition to the habit of dram-drink—
ing and of drunkenness. The democratic
party, as a party, encourages the third:
party movement of prohibition, because it;
tends to give the legislative control to the.
democratic party. Nobody expects from.
that party anything like temperance legis—
lation. Now a resolute front of all really
temperance men in opposition to the polit—
ical power of rum, together with a high:
license law, would work a wonderful re-
form in the cvil of dram-drinking.-——Hart-
ford Oourant.

An Old BIrch-Wleider,
Salisbury hail probably the oldest school
teacher in the state. Horace Smith was a
teacher in that town in 1813—seventy-three
years ago. He celebrates his 02d birthday
this week. He was born in the first frame
house ever built in the town of Salisbury,
and has, besides a large family of children
now living, 70 grandchildren and four
great-grandchildren Although Mr. Smith
is apparently in full possession of all his
faculties, he is feeble with the physical in-
firmities of age, but gets around without

crs’ reunion at Twin Lakes last Thursday,
when he informed a GAzsr'rir reporter that
in all the throng there assembled, there
was not one of his old-time contemporary
teachers and not even one of his pupils.
Mr. Smith says he hardly expects to com—
plete his ninety-second year of life. If
there is a retired school teacher in the state
whose service dates back to 1818,1etsome—
body bring him forth.

A Plucky Conductor. _
Walter B. Spencer, conductor of a mix-
ed train on the Housatonic road, is a young
fellow,sliort in stature and of slight build,
With fair, cfi’eminate complexion and mild
blue eyes that sparkle with that good na-
ture that has made him one of the most
popular conductors on the load. His very
appearance is such that the most brutal
rufiian, even if he didn’t knowhim,would
deem it a cruelty to impose upon him.
And brutal rufiians who do know him are
willing to let him alone for very difierent
reasons. Last Thursday a bid, ugly cus-
tomer boarded his train at Deweys, took
a seat in the car which was occupied by
several lady passengers, and proceeded to
fill the car with clouds of smoke from a
dirty clay pipe. When “Walt" came
through to collect fares, he politely re-
quested the fellow to go forward to the
smoking car where there were no ladies
to be annoyed by his fumigation. The
rowdy insolently replied that he should
“smoke where he d—n pleased” and ris-
ing from his seat into a threatening atti-
tude and in a manner that plainly indica-
ted his determination to annihilate the lit-
tle conductor, he began a loud tirade of
profanity and vile epithets,which,however
was suddenly cut short. With the quick-
ness of a cat and the force of a sledge
hammer Walter's fist shot out striking the
burly bully squarely on the nose, felling
him across the back of a seat and bring-
ing a copious torrent of gore. No sooner
was be down than, according to an eye
witness, Walter grabbed him by the shoul-
ders and. although the fellow weighed at
least fifty pounds heavier than himself,
actually lifted him bodily onto his feet at
the same time shielding himself from the
blows which the “terror” was vigorous-
ly aiming at him, and gave him an-
other stunner between the eyes which
again sent him sprawling. Wild with
rage,the desperado quickly‘drcw a revolv-
er from his hip pocket and aimed it at the
conductor. Another cat-like motion and
Walter had grabbed the weapon by the
barrel. The women shrieked and started
from their seats in alarm. There was a
loud report and a brief tussle, when Wal-
ter succeeded in wrenching the revolver-
from the rufiian, and giving him another
blow he knocked him for the third time
across a seat where he remained complete.
ly subdued until Lenox was reached,
where he was unceremoniously hustled
from the train.

Walter‘s quickness in grabbing the re-
volver and diverting its aim undoubtedly
saved his life. As it was, the bullet in-
fiicted a slight wound on his hand, the
edge of which was partially over the muz-
zle, and went through his coat barely mis-
sing his leg, then crashed through the
side of the car near a vacant seat. The
whole fracas was enacted in’iess time than
it takes you to read it and at its conclu-
sion the little fair complexioned, pleasant
faced conductor proceeded with his ticket
collecting as coolly as if it ware one of the
routine duties on his daily programme.
Slight though he is. he has muscles of
iron, and agility and grit that make him a
practical illustration of the old saw, that
appearances are deceiving,

Macon, (30., July 22.—Near Roble
Crawford counly, as Mr. William that
and wife were returning home, Mr. Miller
saw a large snake crawling out fr9m0under
the seat of the buggy. Not Wishilig to
alarm his wife, he waited a few minutes
and then requested her to get out of the
buggy with him. He then despatcbcd the
snake with the butt end of his whip. The
snake measured eight feet long and had
eleven rattles and a button.

Now, see here! if this snake business is

going to go on in this way and a fellow

can’t take his wife or any other fellow's

wife, or his best girl, out for a buggy ride

without a snake eight feet long, with elev-

en rattles and a button on the end of his

tail creeping from under the seat, the re-

ligious editor of a South Norwalk paper
is going to withdraw all his lucrative cus-

tom from Dana’s and thc Gregory’s unri-
valled livery stables, from and after this
date, even if his dearest lady friends have
to go afoot. He says he's got to draw the
line somewhere. Ice cream and soda wa-
ter, in moderate doses, he could stand,
but he always had a horror of snakes.
Inherited it from his first maternal ances-
tor, without a doubt. He is in perfect
accord with mother Eve in his detestation
of snakes “eight feet long with eleven
rattles and a button.” That “button” is
what settles it with him, though he hasn’t

the remotest idea what a snake wants to
wear “buttons" for.
