OUR WASHINGTON LETTER
Wasuixc'rox, D. 0., Nov. 24, ’88.
It Stems somewhat idiotic that such
papers as the Port and Star, of Washing—
ton, the Sun, of New York, and other
consequential light givers should be
gravely discussing the question whether
Joe Blackburn could fight Judge Rocker
or not after he (8.) had said that R. “is
alibel on humanity.” Two Kaintucks—
gentlemen, by Gold, sir, gravely discuss—
ing the propriety of violating the law, not
on the ground that there is any obligation
to break the law, but whether the code
will allow of it. Duelliug is, as any sen—
sible person knows, a relic of barbarism—
amurderous instrument in the hands of
the unscrupulous and skilled—contrary to
all moral ideas and against those principles
that hold society together, viz: Mutua
protection to life and property and en»-
joyment of all privileges that do not in-
friuge upon your fellow—citizen. Judging
from the controversy, it appears that
Judge Rucker correctly quoted the Presi—
dent when he said he feared he would
be; kuifed by Hewitt, Hill, Grant and
Tammany, and the senator feels called
on now to deny it, as the Prince of
Wales is said to have perjured himself in
a celebrated devorcc suit. But duel or no
duel, what Judge Rucker has said stands
upon the testimony and the circumstances
of the case and his reputation for what it
is worth; and the same considerations
apply to Senator Joe. Now. if ten sena—
tors aud ten judges were killed, the facts
are not altered. The killing is a sort of
Kafiir or Zulu barbarism, that does not
amount to a rush in the settlement of any
doubted question.
GEN. GOFF’S rumour).
General Golf, who claims to have car—-
ricd West Virginia, the first republican
governor elected in that state since 1868.
and the first in a southern state since 1880,
when Alvin Hawkins was chosen the
executive of Tennessee through a split in
the democratic party, has had a distin—
guished career for a man only 45 years of
age. The mettle he has shown in the long
fight for republican supremacy in West
Virginia was early in manifesting itself. It
took him as a private into the Federal
army immediately upon the surrender of
Fort Sumter, and while he was a young
man of eighteen at college. It came
out conspicuously again in an incident
which occurred while he was serving a
four—months’ imprisonment in Libby
Prison. He was selected as one of the
hostages for the Confederate Major Arm—
sey, who had been condemed to death by
the Union authorities as a spy, Instead
of pleading for his own life, however.
young Goff wrote to President Lincoln
saying: "If Major Armscy is guilty he
should be executed regardless of its con—
sequcuce to me. The life of a single
soldier, no matter who he may he, should
not stand in the way of adherence to a
great principle."
I have the pleasure of knowing the
future governor of WestIVirginia. He is
a quiet, unassuming man of medium
height, clean-shaven, quickcyed, and of a
Napoleonic cast of countenance. Uu--
deniably a man of talent, integrity and
courage, and given a high place in the
minds of political foes as well as friends.
The inauguration'will be a grand affair
on the 4th of March next, if the efforts of
citizens, regardless of party predilections,
can make it so. The tickets willbe most
likely fixed at the price of $5 each.
It may now be considered settled that
the ginaugural ball is to be held in the
great court of the Pension building. This
is certainly the proper place for it. The
court is capacious, convenient, susceptible
of infinite adornment. Its adaptability to
the requirements of a grand national ball
and reception were admirably tested four
years ago.
Triumphal arches will be thrown across
the streets on the line of march at various
intervals, and an effort is being made to
have the whole affair reflect credit upon
the city of Washington.

Governor’s Proclamation.
In accordance with the unwritten law
of this Commonwealth I hereby appoint
Thursday, the 29th day of November, as a
day of thanksgiving and prayer.
And I recommend to the people of this
state that, abstaining from their news
tomed labor, they celebrate that day at
church in praises to Almighty God for
His goodness, and at home in glad re
unions and in innocent festivities.
In preparation for this festival, let uii -
stinted charity be given to all the poor,
and that every heart may be filled with
joy, and every home overflow with plenty,
and let all remember that it is only the
hand which helps another that God takes
into His own and fills with eternal bless—
lugs and honor.

Why He is Remembered.
In telling about the congressmen who
were not rc-clcctcd, the World yesterday
had the following :—
“Bob Vance, of Connecticut, will be
remembered most for the fiery redness of
his hair. He has a youthful appearance
and looks liken nierc boy as he strolls
iibout:through the House cracking jokes
with the members, who invariably enjoy
them. Mr. Vance is one of the most in-
corrigiblepractical jokers in the House,
as Major Martin, of Texas, well knows;
but when he set himself to have the wood
screws and other industries of his district
protected by the Mills bill he ‘got there,
just the same.’ ”

The Gymnasium course which opens at
the Y. M. C. A. on Monday evening, Dec.
31d, is proving a strong attraction to
young men, and new members are now
joining the Association in order to avail
themselves of its privileges.
Mr. George Poole, who conducted the

it is safe to say that no more careful or

other "llainbliiig" without fear of having
IE repetition of par polile reminder that
I “after the pressure upon the Gaza'i‘rs’s
columns, necessitated by the discussion of
the issues of tln- coup-din you will be I
pleased to make room for my esteemed
fiv-n-s ?" As the ie~oli of the election ‘
was to your liking, I suppose your jubila. :
tiou is justified, and your exclusion of.
“Ramblings" during the terrible and mo- ’
mentous times when the “issues of the :
campaign” exerted such an awful ,
“pressure upon the Gszu'r'ra’s columns" I
was a wise stroke of policy, as shown '
by the fact you published a couple of
weeks ago, setting forth that Norwalk
proved to be the "banner republican town
of the state."
III * at:
My sister’s husband, who, in the ardor
of his patriotism and zeal for the welfare
of his country, sacrificed a great many
nights’ sleep during the period when the
burning “issues of the campaign” were
suffering for discussion, says it was a glori-
ous victory for our side, but that it was the
hardest campaign he ever fought. He was
so rejoiced over the victorious result of
his {heroic struggle for the protection of
America and American industries, that it
took him two weeks to celebrate, and he
entered so earnestly and so zealously into
that two weeks’ celebration that it used
him up more completely than all the
excitement of the great struggle which he
carried through to victory. After he got
well, however, and his nerves and temper-
ament had resumed their normal con’.
dition, like Alexander, he wept because
there were no more campaign issues to
discuss. My sister, who, as a matter of
fact, had to undergo more through his
political zeal than he did himself, says she
is glad the thing is finally over,just for
the sake of her husband, whom she affec-
tionately calls “her poor boy,” whose
whole soul was so completely absorbed in
the contest Poor fiddlcsticks! I tell
her she’s a silly goose, and I rejoice on
her account that it’s over, as it robs her
“poor boy" of the plausible but thin
excuse of depriving his family of the dc-
liglitfiil pleasure of his distinguished com--
pany.

There is only one month left of leap year.
However, much good can be accomplished
in one month, as well as much that would
be better undone. The local marriage
record has been a good one this year, and
several more souls are to be made happy
before it closes. Of course not one out of
the whole number can be truthfully at-
tributed to the fact that leap year brings
with it the nonsensical feminine privilege
of proposing. And yet I know young
ladies who are so dominated by a dread
of Mrs. Grundy that they would antler no
circumstances consent to be uzarried in a
leap year, for fear the gossips might
insinuate they had popped the momentous
question themselves. I wouldn’t be so
silly. Such super—scusitiveucss merits
lifelong old—maideuhood. Those afflicted
with it, however, are largely in the
minority, and I congratulate the whole
sisterhood that the marriage bells will
ring often and merrily between now and
the joyous Christmas time.

My sister’s husband, who is a member
of the “Norwalk Club,”_lias come home so
many tima With glowing accounts of that
institution that both my sister and myself
have become, (woman—like, you will say),
quite curious and deeply interested as to
its arrangements and workings, and we
have both interviewed the wives of other
members, who are equally so.) And we all
agree that such an excellent organizuion
of the solid and influential men of our ton u
should have for its object a higher ambition
than merely to solve the question as to
who is champion in whist, billiards and
pool. What apower for good this club
may be in our community, made up as it
is of lawyers, doctors, :jouruallsts, bank-
ers, merchants and those in other branches
of profession and business. What an in-
fluence is there concentrated, which, if
applied, might work, beneficent reforms.
consummate new enterprises, alleviate the
condition of the local poor, elevate the 10-
cal status of the community, and in a
thousand ways prove itself a benison to
the public and posterity. My sister’s
husband tells us that is the primary
object of the club, and that beneficent
accomplishments may be expected of it.
We have suggested to him the propriety
of interesting his fellow members in the
matter of holding a fair or “kirmcss,”
either in their rooms or in the Opera
House, (which sceius to have gone into
disuse), for the benefit of some worthy
public or charitable cause. It would need
but the word from this source to have
contributions of eveiything needful, in
fancy and useful articles, provisions and
services tendered in uns'tintt d abundance.
Success would be assured from the start.
If we women could only organize such a
representative assembly, and could agree
as harmoniously for any period of organ-
ized existence, as our lords and masters,
these things would be no sooner suggested
than under way to a successful issue.

A Chance That Does Not Often Happen.
Knowing it is in human nature to make
the dollar go as far as possible, or in other
words to get as much for your money as you
can, we consider it a pleasant duty to in~
form our readers that a genuine half price
clearing sale of the finest winter clothing
is now in progress which is now in pr gr.ss
which is to last until New Years. It is a.
very rare occurrence that a reliable house
like Messrs. Vogel Brothers, Eighth avenue
and 42d street, New York City, are clearing
out all their accumulation of broken lots,
comprising the most desirable new styles of
winter overcoats, suits, odd coats, pants and
vests, for men, boys and children; they will
also include in this sale, many complete lots
of the most reliable quality winter suits and
overcoats. The original price which has
been strictly adhered to, can be seen on
each ticket plainly marked, and underneath
marked in red ink, is the half price which
they are now sold for.
We are informed that this sale at half
price is the result of the enormous early fall
trade which has accumulated a vast quanti-
ty of broken lots in the mammoth clothing
house of Vogel Brothers, Eighth avenue,
corner 42d street, New York City. A large
extra force of salesmen have been especially
engaged for this sale, that, no matter how
great the rush, every customer will be po—
litely and promptly served. All goods sent
free of express charges within a hundred
miles.

now rapidly approaching completion, :ll
though owing to its numerous new features,
and to the elaborate and intricate nature of

at as a early (late as had been expected. It
will probably be the latter part of next

This building is in many respects the
most magnificent hotel edifice in America.
Wealth of the Nation.
United States Treasurer Hyatt in his
annual report on: the operation during the
year and condition of the treasury at the
close of the fiscal year ended J not: 30,
1888, I'eports the net revenue of the gov-
ernment for the year $379,266,074, and the
net expenditures $267,924,801, the surplus
receipts available for the reduction of the
public debt being $111,341,273, an ill—
crease of $7,870,175 over the year before.
As compared with 1887 the revenues were
$7,862,797 greater and the expenditures
$7,378 less.
The treasury balance increased during
the year from $69,224,379 to $129,804,242.
The net change of $60,579,863 in the bal-
ance was produced by an increase of $37,-
526,468 in the assets and a decrease of
$23,053,394 in the liabilities. The silver
balance fell off more than $27,000,000.
The principal increase of assets was in
United States notes and deposits in na-
tional banks, and the principal decrease of
liabilities in the public debt and the funds
for the redemption of national bank notes.
There was a net decrease of $74,788,920
during the fiscal year in the principal of
the interest-bearing debt. The total pur-
chase of bonds for the sinking fund and
out of surplus revenues were $51,464,300,
the net premium paid, exclusive of ac—
crued interest, being $8,270,842.46. The
gold and silver coin and bullion in the
country, and all kinds of notes and certifi-
cates outstanding on~ June :30, 1887, am-
ounted to $1,925,259,882, and on June 30,
1888, to $2,093,562,072.
The stock of gold and silver increased
during the year from $1,007,513,901 to
$1,092,391,690.35, mostly in gold. The iii-
creasc in the volume of the paper circula—
tion was $83,424,400; resulting from an
increase of $110,319,955 in the amount of .
certificates and falling off of $26,895,554.—
55 in the total of notes and fractional cur-
i'ency. The rcdemptions of United States
during the year amounted to $63,852,000.
Since the resumption of specie payments
only $26,736,454 have been redeemed in
gold.
than of legal tenders, the importance of
the latter in the circulation has declined.
The denominations below $10 are being
displaced by silver certificates and those
above $100 largely by gold certificates. ;
The volume of gold certificates outstand—
ing increased $29,539,336, reaching $142,-
023,160, the highest point yet noted at the
end of any fiscal year.
Taking into account the decrease of the
amount in the treasury, the total increase
of the circulation was $29,901,143. There
were used $105,896,000 of silver certifir
cates, mostly of denominatidns of $10 and
under and were redeemed. The amount
outstanding increased from $145,543,150
to $229,491,752. The increase In the ac
tual circulation was $58,431,707. It had
been impossible to meet the demand for
the denominations of $1 and $2, and in
consequence their issue was suspended
between October 18, 1887. and February
3, 1888. Since the latter date the treas—
urer has been able most of the time to fur-
nish them as they have been asked for.
The coinage of' silver dollars during the
year amounted to $32,484,673, making the
total coinage $299,424,790. The increase
of the net distribution was 0:in $39,156.
Owing to the scarcity- of one or two
dollar notes and the demand for the move-
ment of crops nearly $9,000,000 were
drawn into circulation between May and
November, 1887, but when the notes were
again to be had the dollars came back to
the treasury as fast as they had gone out.
The treasurer is of._tlic opinion that the
people have all of these coins they want or
are willing to take, and recommends that
if the purchases of silver are to continue
bullion be put into the shape of heavy bars
or ingots. arguing that the present supply
of the dollars will be sufficient for any dc-
maiid there is likely to be for them, and
that ally increase of the certificate circula-
tion could be based with perfect safety on
the ilncoined metal.
The amount of fractional silver coin in
the treasu'y has not changed much since
the first accumulation after the resumption
of specie payments. Of a little more than
$26,000,000 held on June 30, 1888, $20,-
500,000 was half dollars and only $5,500,—
000 in other pieces. The treasurer points
out that this proportion which does not
vary much from year to year is excessive
and that. something like $15,000,000 in 50
cent pieces that are not needed for circu-
lation will doubtless have to be carried by
the treasury until they are reeoincd into
other denominations or absorbed by the
growth of business.
At the close of the year the treasurer
held $178,312,630 of United States bonds
to secure national bank circulation, and
$56,128,000 to secure public moneys held
by depository banks. There was a de-
crease diiring the year of $13,654.050 in
the amount of the former and an increase
of $29,642,500 in the amount of the latter.
There was $58,712,511 of public money-
held by the banks, an increase of $35,395,-
633. .

A Good Suggestion.
The Mechanics Journal came very near
hitting the nail squarely on the head when
it promu'gated the following:
The Sentinel says there is a ”fire fiend”
in town. So there is, but not merely one,
biit about a. hundred, more or less. They
are lurking in a hundred cellars and base—
ments, packed full of the most inflammable
material, waste paper, old rags, broken boxes,
kegs and barrels. A lighied cigarette, a
thrown away cigar stump, a spark, a glim-
mering piece of coal will start this fiend on
his mission of destruction. These fire fiends
are to be found under saloons, grocery stores
and in the cellars and basements of private
dwellings. South Norwalk will some windy
night, furnish him with plenty of business.
But why not thwart him and his foul de-
signs? thy not have a general house
cleaning of your cellars and basements?
Why not have an inspector appointed,
whose business it shall be to see that these
places are kept clean? Why not lock the
born before the horse is stolen ? \Vhy not
prevent a horrible calamity, while there is
time? Why not. in fact, do something be—
fore it is too late ?

A Paper Loyal and True.
New York City, With its suburbs, new
forms a great center of population,am-
coating in all probability to over 2,500,000.
It might bea Republican city in a few
years, with steady fighting and straight
voting, because it is now the largest mau—
ufacturing center in the United States;
but at present it is heavily Democratic.
'The pecuniary influence of importing and
trading elements in the metropolis has
prompted every other old newspaper there
to abandon the defense of American inter-
ests and to assail the policy by which the
welfare of American labor is promoted;
l but the Tribune has remained loyal and
1 true, and has earnestly represented the
convictions of the great majority of voters
in the loyal North during the Presidential
campaign. To its remarkable work in
arousing the minds of the people, a gen—
erous share of the great victory of Novem-
ber is undoubtedly due. The Tribune is
,a useful, able, and interesting national
paper: Among its special features the
' past year have been energetic agitations in
favor of better protection to farmers, ii
service pension to Union veterans, and
the right of every American too. good
' living undisturbed by foreign competition.
These will all be continued. The Tribune
ofiice produces one of the best family
papers in the country,aud it is largely

Thanksgiving.
The plan inaugurated by llie churches
last year of giving the worthy poor of our
town a Thanksgiving dinner was so gen-
, erously responded to, and so highly pleas-
ing to the recipients of good things, that
I it has been decided best to follow in that
line the present season. Therefore, the
request is hereby made that fowl (dresscd),
meats, fruits, tcgetables, pastry, ctc., be
sent to the chapel of the Congregational
church on Wednesday, Nov. 2811), not
later than 2 o'clock, as it is important that
the delivery be made on that day.
Any person knowing of \vmthy poor
will confer a favor by handing name and
address to either of the pastors, or to Miss
Georgie :Taylor. Should any prefer to
make contributions in money it will be
gratefully received and judiciously ex-
pended by the committee.
Last year more than fifty good sized
market baskets were sent out well ladcn‘
and more than 200 hearts were made
thankful thereby.

Who has the Watch ?
On July 14, 1864, during an engage—
ment near the Coosaw River, North Ala»—
bama, between the Federal troops under
Major-General Rosseau, and a body of
Confederates under Brigadier—General
Clanton, Albert I-Iyer, now of Pensacola,
Florida, was taken prisoner by the Eighth
Indiana Cavalry, then in charge of Major
Graham.
and might have retired with his troops,
but remained with his friend, the Adju-
tauthneral of the brigade, who was mor-
tally wounded. He was relieved of his
i't-volvei', sword belt, 2. pair of spurs, and
an old English double case silver watch.
The latter had been fifty years in Mr.
[Iyre’s family. and was an heir-loom very
highly prized. If the time-piece can be
recognized through this description the
possessor can obtain its full value by com-
municating with Mr. IIyrc. Wr will
thank our brethren of the press to pass
this around through the country.
