Associate EDITORIAL LETTER. WASHINGTON, D. 0., Dec. 9, ’89. DEAR GAZETTE :—-Thc notable events of the Week at the capital are the successful efforts of the democratic cashier Of the sergeant-at-arms office of the House to "reduce the surplus," and the death of Jefferson Davis. The former is the Old, Old story of fast living. fast horses anti fast females, resulting iii forgery, theft and absconding. He had been a trusted officer here for six years; was a former merchant in Ohio of good abilities anti high standing, and was over fifty years of age. He. had one married son, an em~ ployee of the House, who swooned when he heard of his father’s disgrace and flight; also a wife and two small children left here peirniless to bear the loss of a once good husband and father, and the. more sorrowful burden of the odiiim now attached to his ruined life. His defalca- lion is Well up [on hundred thousand doi- lat's, but it is not thought he was able to take anycousiderabie sum with him in his flight. On the day of his departure he took about thirty—five thousand dollars of notes he had forged the names of different congressmen upon. He also left some twenty thousand dollars of the govern— inent’s money subject to his check at the ; Metropolitan National Bank, and thirty- three thousand bills in his own safe in the ; capitol. "I his is explained by the fact tha~ stealing the government’s money would subject. him to extradition, winle robbing the members of their salary would not. I-Iisdcfaleation seems to have run back not longer than the last congress,’ and his desperate efforts to recover and I make good his thefts are shown in the fact that he bought onehundred dollars’ worth of tickets in the Louisiana lottery every month, and from which he had not real- ized one cent,and had also taken the most desperate chances at all the horse races . and a notorious gambling den here, but only to sink deeper and deeper at every turn. His doublelifc was a surprise to nearly every one who knew him, and the “woman in the casU’ was an abandoned and notorious bawd. When will such folly and wickedness cease to be an almost daily disclosure? It is not surprising that the death of Jefferson Davis shied cause a ripple of excitement here, WIIL‘H; so many years of his public life were passed. Your corres- pondent remembers him as a member of President Piercc’s cabinet, as a congress- man and a U. S. senator, anti then a, prisoner Of war at Fortress Monroe after When secretary of war he always affected a dissatisfaction with his position and sur- roundings, and no doubt felt that in point of ability he was far superior to his New Hampshire chief. When in the House and Senate his manner was haughty, and his reputation that of a sour, ill-tempered and obstinate man. As President of the Confederacy he was probably no worse than hundreds of other traitors, and his egotism and dogmaiism no doubt did much towards hurrying the rebellion in its final catastrophe. Long before the collapSc he was in a bitter quarrel with , Governors Vance, of North Carolina, and Brown of Georgia, both now members of the Senate, on the very subject Of state rights. which he ostentatiously declared to be his justification for leaving the Senate and joining the forces of secession. A good deal of cheap gush was indulged in when his death was announced in vari- ous quarters of the city, but no flags here have been half-masted, anti but one hOiiSe, and that in the slums, has been draped in mourning. At Richmond, further south, a wider and nrore sincere sorrow is unquestionably felt. He was the last lingering relic and idol Of the worshipers of the “lost cause.” Extravagance of ac- tion and of speech must be expected and wisely tolerated. When all is over it will be a good thing for the north and south to enact the role, in regard to Davis, of ' the Chatham street second-hand clothier, who, on the approach of the board of health, quickly ordered the shutters put up and the lights turned down. SPEAKER REED. The new speaker is busily engaged in preparing his committees. Mr. Simmonds, Of the Hartford district is said to be a candidate for the chairmanship of patents. He has been in the patent business many years, anti while it Would accord with the eternal fitness of things to place a man from Connecticut at. the head of the pat- ent committee Mr. S. is a new member. But Mr. Reed may be relied upon to act with wisdom and justice. He is thoroughly Well equipped for the duties of this high ofli’ice. He leaves the leadership Of his party on the floor to assume the functions of presiding officer. The only doubt, which is expressed concerning the wisdom of the promotion is based upon the loss which it involves of his powerful and brilliant leadership on the floor. And this doubt is a compliment. The Star says anent the chaplain tangle that there need be no unseemly manifesta- tion of exultatio'n Over the election of Mr. Milburu. The fact that he is a democrat had nothing to do wilh it. That he is blind is an affecting circumstance. But mainly his election is due to the fact that his prayers heretofore have been not only sincere in quality, but at the same time pointed in allusion and piquant in expres- sion. These may not be satisfactory in heaven’s Chancery, but they are mighty ; Northern Pacific ffetching qualities in a far-down-bclow , every other republican, had supposed congress. . WORK AT THE PENSION OFFICE. _ During the past month there vrere 14,- 189 pension certificates issued. This is a 'flar'gc increase as compared with the cor- responding months for several years past, and is due. Commissioner Raum thinks, I to a better organization of the office and more etfir ient work by the clerical force. The number of certificates issued' in the same month of 1888 was 10,087, of 1887, , 8,052, and of 1886. 7,385. LIGIIT-iIOUSIS. According to the rep rt of the light- l house board for the year ending June 30, 1889, there were under the control of the board 1,021 light—houses anti lighted bea- cons, 1,328 lights on \VtSlel'll rivers and , 4,284 buoys of various kinds. An appro- l priation of $830,00 lS asked. Of this $500,000 is wanted for the Diamond Shoal light-house off Cape Hatteras, of which ftii$200,000has already been appropriated. SURRENDERING THEIR BONDS. Secretary Windom, Thursday, received from four banks an Oflfer to surrender $1,600,000 bonds. All of them were ae- i cepied. Secretary Windom says the , bonds are being offered at. a rate which is i very gratifying to him and in larger quan- ,' tities than be anticipated. l HORSE MEAT 1N SAUSAGE. l United States Consul Diller, of Florence, encloses to the Department Of State, ix- ! tracts from Bologna newspapers on a sub- l ject of great interest to the people of the i United States, because of the large export l of bologna sausages to this county. It is l 3 openly charged by these papers that horse ' meat is extensrvely used in the manufac- 1 lure of these products. The subject has aroused much excitement ,and comment on the part of the press and people Of Italy, as the product is one of large con- sumption in that country, as well as of large exportation. THE NEW JUSTICE. The appointment of Judge Brewer to the supreme bench proves a wise one. lie is commended on all sides as a man and a lawyer. The only objection heard against him is that he is a proliibitionist. He is a . raduate of Yale and in ever sense an , able and upright man, and was strongly talked of as a cabinet possibility. “SWIVEL” SERVICE. Senators FarWell, Paddock, Vance and others are outspoken in opposition to the hunrbug anti fraud called “civil service.” General Baum and other high Officials are equally pronounced against the iniquitous deception. DEATH OF SAMUEL WILKESON. The painful news to a host of admirers and friends reached here last week of the death of Samuel Wilkeson, the noted and brilliant and successful journalist, and for some years past the secretary of the railroad. During the war period he was on Mr. Greelcy’s staff as an editorial writer in the New York Office of the Tribune. When a battle in the army of the Potomac was imminent Mr. Wilkeson was generally sent here by Mr. Greeley to take the place of your corres- pondent, who was then in charge of the Tribune’s bureau, to enable us to go to the front, and thus he made wide and lasting friendships witli'most Of the lead- ing public men of the nation who congre- gated in Washington in these troublesome times. lie was a brother—in-law of the Hon. Henry B. Stanton, and in every sense he was worthy all his distinguished ' relations and notable personal friend—— ships. He was pure, unselfish, ardent and loving as a woman, and like the great Harry Clay, of whom it was written that to him “heaven was not good enough for his friinds, or shed hot enough for his enemies.” Wilkcson, however, had no personal enemies, but he bated with an intense resentment every man who did a mean thing. He gave two young sons to the war One was killed at Gettysburg, and the other survives to honor his par— entage as a writer and author of well ,sustained reputation. To us and others, ‘ who knew and loved this sweet and manly soul so well, a fitting farewell may well be :— l “ Say not good-bye, But in some brighter clinic Bid me good morning.” CENTENNIAL nxnnorsns. This week Wednesday at the Capitol, will be devoted to the programme exer- cises commemorative of the centennial celebration of the inauguration of George Washington. The Senate and House of Representatives will assemble together in the hall of the House and there will be music, a prayer, an address by Chief J us- tice Fuller, and the benediction by Rev. W. H. Milburn, Chaplain of the House. These exercises are to be attended by the President and his Cabinet, the Supreme Court, delegates to the Pan-American and International Maritime Conferences, now in session in this city, and all the princi- pal ofliicers of the Government in Wash- ington. . ruRSONALs tea at her home, NO. 2030 I street, on Friday evening. The entertainment was given in honor|0f1Mrs. Hawley’s sister, Miss Horner, who has recenty returned from Europe. Mr. William R. Lockwood left for home Saturday evening. ‘ _ Mr. and Mrs. James Cousins were here last week. The illness of Minister Lincoln’s son at Versailles was most' serious. The boy was attacked by, a malignant carbuncie, and a surgical operation was necessary to save his life. Rev. Dr. Chiids was not a candidate for the chaplaincy of the House. and knew nothing of the matter when the false rumors got into the papers. He, like Mrs. Senator Hawley gave an elegant . lRev. Dr. Chester most likely to get the prize, but as the matter eventuated Dr. Chester is to be congratulated that it was not he who was slaughtered in the house of his friends. Speaker Reed has just announced sever- al of his leading and most important committees so that the House can at once “hump” itself and get to work. Senator Platt introduced bills to—day for the admission of Idaho and Wyoming, and to provide a temporary government for the territory of Oklahoma. Miss Harriet A. Fellows, Of Connecticut, has been appointed to a clerkship in the general land office. The President, Vice—President and As- sistant Postmaster-General Clarkson are at Chicago, but are expected back here Wednesday. . Senator Ingalls says “the civil service aw creates a civil pension list and is foreign to our system of government.” Senator ilarris regards the law “as ab- surd,impractical and wholly unnecessary." It is the general verdict that it has failed utterly to improve the character Of em- pioyes or their efficiency in the various government departments here. New Haveii’s “Colonel Sellers," other- wise C. S. Bushnell, is booked for a winter‘s residence at 130 East Capitol street. He is said to be interested in some matter of legislation before congress. Rev. Dr. and Mr. Noble are concluding their arrangements here for removal to Norwalk for their future work and resi- dence. As ever, B. *D— In Memoriam. On Sunday morning, Dec. 1st, Charles H. Bishop was suddenly summoned to that celestial home, Of which he often sang in his hours of labor. Indeed he seemed to be refreshed in the midst of the hardest toil by singing of the “Sweet By and By,” “Shall We Gather at the River,” "Wonderful Words of Life,” “Jesus Lover of My Soul,” and other spiritual songs. Though he was called “in the twinkling of an eye” those who knew him best have no doubt but that he was fully prepared to pass over the river and gain that blest shore where the weary are at rest. Buta few days before his death, when he was, to all appearances, likely to live for many years, a lady said of him: “I give myself no uneasiness. I am cer- tain Bishop accounts for every cent. I do not believe he would do a wrong act to save his life.” Such a character had the man who has just left us after being tried for many years. He did not occupy an exalted position in this world—“best so- ciety,” so called—but for honest manhood and strict integrity and Christian example he was the peer of the best. The funeral services took place at the residence of his late employer, Mrs. Harriet Comstock, in North Wilton, on Tuesday afternoon, and his remains from thence were carried to the cemetery and laid away in Mother Earth until the coming Of his Master, who will greet him with the welcome: “Well done, good and faithful servant enter thou into the joy of thy Lord." he dollars may be few which he left those who looked to him for support and guidance, but what an heritage ire has left in a Christian life and rprightness before his Maker and those With whom he associated. Good-bye, Brother Bishop, we will meet on the “other side.” ’1‘. N. N. —4,.__ . Gedney House. This hostelry has become one Of the most popular and faVOrite lodging and family resorts in New York.
