WASHixerou, D. 0., March 17, '90. DEAR GAzEr'rnz—Nothing of over- shadowing interest transpired in either House of Congress last week. Friday, in the Senate, was devoted to eulogies on the life and character of Congressman Towns- end, of Illinois, wlro died early in the session. Saturday’s Session of the House was devoted to similar tributes to the memory of Congressman Wm. D. Kelly, of Pennsylvania. These were eloquent and heartfelt, as none who’ knew the noble man and faithful public servant,-knew him but to honor and love him. Friday, in the House, the bill to retire General Fremont with the rank of major-general was adopted by a very large majority. This was folIOWed by a bill paying to our Stamford friend, Emery, $50,000 as com- pensation for some $200,000 that his evi- - deuce shows he has expended under the authority of law and by order Of the gov- ernment, and not one cent of. which has ever been paid. This is.the usiial method adopted by the demagogucs of the House in paying the government‘s honest debts. An honest contractor, if towed to come to Congress, has but a sorry show for justice or fair treatment, and this Emory claim is no exception to the rule. , ' EDUCATION BILLS. ~ Senator Teller made an able, just and conciliatory speech last week anent the Blair education bill. It was full of level- headed common sense, as is that senator’s went, and left a most favorable impression on both sides of the chamber. The House committee on education listened to Judge Albion W. Tourgee, author of “A Fool’s Errand," Thursday, on the subject of “The Duty of National Education.” He opposed the Blair bill, and favored one which provides for the appropriation of $221 year for each anti every illiterate person more than ten years old who shallbea citizen of the United States at the time of taking the eleventh census, and during each and'cvery year after the first day of July, 1890. This sum is to be applied to the promotion of primary education in free public schools of the states and territories. He was followed by Professor Chambers, of South Carolina, Who spoke in favor of a bill he had prepui ml creating a commis- sion to inquire into and report upon the material, industrial and mental progress of the colored people since 1868‘. THAT SURPLUS. Ex-Speaker Carlisle tried to create a scare by announcing iii the way of an interview, he no doubt very conveniently arranged for himself, that the republicans would. so far loot the treasury with deficiency and pension bills this session, that the troublesome surplus will not only be used up, but a deficiency certainly be created. 1 his false alarmwas effectually put to rest by incontrovertible facts and figures presented by Congressman Cannon. He shows how blameless the republicans are for the enormous deficiency bills this Congress has been cerrfrouted with be- cause the last democratic House refused to appropriate sufficientmeney for the necessities of the government. THE PRESIDENT. Err—Congressman and err—National Corn- mitteeman Jay Hubbell was here last 'week and called on the President. Of course he was immediately “interviewed" because it was understood that, zealous republican as he was, he had been quite free in his criticisms of the President's policy. He voiced the quite common complaint made against the President’s methods of making appointments in an entirely frank and splendid manner. as follows: “From the outset,” said Mr. Hubbell, “the President was as cordial and frank as ever I found a man to be, and be im— pressed me with the idea that he was sin— cerelyoendeavoring to benefit not only his party, but thecountry in making'appoint- ments to office. ' ‘ “ ‘I have made’ it a point,’ said the President, ‘iiot to absolutely pledge my— self to a candidate. so that before sending a nomination to the Senate it is iii my' power, if it appeared to be forthe'public good, to change the name of John Smith and substitute that of William Jones for an office without violating a promise made to any one. “It is not in the class of appointments made,” I replied to him, "but in the manner of making them that I think your course open to criticism. I say this in all kindness and with no desire to censure or lecture.” ‘ . Hubbell then continued the expression of his own views as follows: “Consultation with the prominent men of his party would not hurt any official. I can best illustrate this by the matter of the appointment of the Commissioner of Pensions. Had the President sent for the Illinois senators and asked their advice and how the appointment of General Raum would be received, they would un- doubtedly have thrown up their hats and” declared that a better choice could not have been made. But there should have been a conference on the subject, and men like Farwell and Cullom should not have been left in the dark regarding such an appointment, because this would have made Illinois republicans strenger and caused them to feel more interest in the administration than ever before. j‘Lack of suaoiter in modo, is the only thing that can be implied to the President, for he was earnest in assuring me that he had only the best interests of the country at heart when he made an appointment. “In this connection I may add that when President Harrison was a Senator from Indiana, he was very persistent in behalf of his friends, and generally received what - he went after. Indiana has always been a costly state for republicans or democrats to carry. owing to its doubtful character, and consequently it could always rely upon getting a good slice of patronage no matter which party happened to be in ower. ' “No doubt the President,while a senator from that state, realized that recognition of an earnest republican senator did much towards keeping his fellow republicans in Indiana in line. He onglrt to realize that ,men have not changed much in their views since then." ' ' 'sservoRs or THE WAR. ‘Many of the thousands of regimental associations of surviving soldiers of the war of the rebellion aim to keep, as nearly as possible, correct rosters of their living comrades, and to that end they revise the lists at each recurring annual meeting of their organizations. 'lhc superintendent of the census is very desirous that the officers of these associations should for— ward to him at once the latest copies of the rosters referred to, which he believes will be efficient aids in the preliminary work of the enumeration, in connection with the eleventh census, of the names, organizations, and length of servrce of surviving soldiers, sailors and marines, and the names and numbers of the widows of such as have died. THE PRESBY’I‘ERIANS. The Washington City Presbytery has kept religious circles in a lively thrill of excitement for some time past. They have Irad a series of meetings with a view of eliminating the “fore-ordination” and “predestination” features from their con- fession of faith, which has ended in the triumph of the reform party. Strong factions on either side have taken part in _ the earnest and sometimes fierce discus- sions. It is Iclaimcd Rev. Dr. Childs’ withdrawal was prompted by the convic- tion that the “progressive” element was in the ascendant and “liberalism” was grow- ing at such a rapid pace in that denomina- tion as to threaten the foundation doctrines of Christianity. Many others think that the triumphant party will ultimately land in the Universalist or Unitarian churches. The Post here says the Presbytery has shown a courage that is to be commended in voting to cast aside the dogmas that have clung like barnacles to the confession, of faith for the past two hundred anti fifty years. The doctrine of reprobation, or the fore-ordination of some. to everlasting » death, and the damnation of non-elect in— fants, have not been accepted by the lead— ing thinkers of the church for years. Not many in the Presbyterian church caucon- dernn infants to everlasting death, and so with reprobation. The action of the Pres-. bytery has been in accord with the spirit of the present day. ‘ REV. DR. eanns. Your correspondent is not alone in the estimate of the sensational features of Rev. Dr. Childs’ withdrawal from the Presbyterian church and faith and transfer of himself to the Episcopal denomination. The Washington correspondent of the Philadelphia Record h'as electrified not a few, to say the least, by wiring to his paper the following startling dispatch, which was headed in pica black letter— “Cliange of Faith of the Bishop of Wash— ington." It says: Nothing that has happened in the relig- ious circles of Washington for years has created such a profound sensation as the prospective departure of Rev. Dr. T. S. Childs, a distinguished divine of the Pres- byterian Church, from its ministry to that of the Episcopal Church. It is very sel— dom that a man or his years and eminence leaves one denomination for another, and this change seems the more remarkable from the fact that Dr. Childs has been a very thorough and old-fashioned Presby- terian, opposing the proposed revision of the Westminster Confession. It is perhaps because Dr. Childs is such a good church- man in the Presbyterian Church that he will make an especially good Episcopalian. He will certainly be a distinguished one, for he is a man of unusual ability, both as preacher and as writer, of ripe culture and of charming manners. Since he came to Washington a few years ago he has under- taken no one charge, but has held himself in readiness to take any Presbyterian pul- pit which needed him. It is needless to say that he was in constant demand. It was while ministering in this way that he helped to organize the Church of the Gov- enant, whose services President Harrisonp Secretaries Blaine and Windom and Post- master General Wanamaker attend. He was also able to do much more missionary and philanthropic work than the settled clergyman can undertake, to say, nothing . of his services in theecclcsiastica‘l courts or his contributions to church literature. His multiferm and valuable labors have already won for him the title of “Presby- terian Bishop of Washington.” The efl’usive Philadelphia correspondent may have builded greater than he knew, for certain it is the Episcopalians have not had such a pie-eminently valuable accession of timber to make a bishop out. of in a generation. DOCTOR NOBLE’S sueoneson. It has been unanimously decided by the committee selected by the Eastern Presby- terian church to nominate a successor to the late Rev. Dr. T. K. Noble, to recom- mend the selection of Rev. M. N. Corne- lius, D. D., of San Francisco. There is little doubt that the congregation will ratify this choice. He has established a high reputation as a pulpit orator, and has done efieetive work as a church builder. PERSONALS. The “Aunt Jack” company of the Mad- ison Square Theatre came over here from New York on an extra in 4 hours and 16 minutes, gave a matinee performance, and returned in 4 hours and 17 minutes, in time for their regular evening perform- ance. It was for the benefit of the actors’ fund and proved a marvelous success. Wm. R. Lockwood, Major Holmes and Orrin Scofield are here. The Star of Saturday evening illustrates the wives of Representatives Simonds and Russell, of Connecticut, with the usual newspaper woodcuts. It is only fair to say that both are more attractive than the pictures. WE F. Rockwell, of Merideu, reached here Saturday, and, hearing that‘, New Orleans was inundated, left the same evening for the Crescent city. Friend W. Smith, the patriot that he is, spent most of last week here in' the un- availing effort to induce a belief that the way to re-elect Senator Platt, was to with— draw the nomination of Geo. B. Edmonds E. Disbrow appointed. Hon. N. D. Sperry, Jocl A. Sperry, John E. Earle and Miss Shoninger, of New Haven, were here last week. Mrs Miles arrived last week and joined her husband, Representative Miles, who has been confined to his room for a num— ber of days and threatened with pneumo- nia. He is now much better and hopes soon to be able to accompany Mrs. Miles home to Twin Lakes. Nellie Bly, the World’s “globe tretter,” gave two lectures here last Week and a public reception. She was enthusiastically received as aconspicuous example of what a plucky American girl can do. The deplorable tragedy resulting in the death of est-Representative Taulbee, brings up another murder case before the Wash— ington courts. Correspondent Kincaid is utterly broken down in consequence of the event, with nervous prostration. Joseph W. and Miss Kate Thompson, of Bridgeport, arrived here Saturday. . Senator Platt has presented a petition to the President for the pardon of R. S. Hicks, formerly cashier of the Stafford Springs National Bank. He was sentenced for four years and has but about three months more to serve. Representative Miles has induced Census Commissioner Porter to appoint James Barbour, son of Mrs. J. G. Barbour, of Norwalk, to the position of stenographer, and Master Jimmy is at present assigned to duty in New York. Senator Hawley is to address the Senate in opposition to the Blair bill. Senator and Mrs. Platt dined with the President Thursday evening. Hon. James W. Hyatt and wife were here a few days since visiting a Washing- ton friend and neighbor. Wrshington Sunday papers chronicled eight fatal grade crossing accidents in different parts of the country. The grade crossing must go. _ Mr. James Crofut. of South Norwalk ; Miss Mary Phelps, of Simsbury, and her friend, Miss ThompSon, of Hartford, are guests of Mrs. Dr. Barbour’s, 1008 I street. Emerald flags with the uncrowned harp were floating to-day, and green leaves to represent the shamrock were worn on many breasts, but there was no parade or other public celebration of St. Patrick’s day here. ' As ever, B.- — 1____._-_‘+,_. ' Rhode Island. The Rhode Island Republican State Con- vention was held last Thursday, at Provi- dence, and the following candidates for state officers nominated: For governor—Henry W . Ladd, of Prov idence. For lieutenant gevernei—Daniel G. Lit-— tlefield, of Pawtucket. For secretary of state—Samuel W. Cross, of Westerly. F or treasurer—Samuel Clark, of Lincoln. For attorney—general—Horatie Rogers, of Pawtucket. , , ' , These gentlemen are at present state ofii~ cers, with the exception of the attorney general, the democratic candidate, Hon. Zeba O. Slocum, having been elected last year over General Regers. . , The platform extends a hearty welcome of the citizens who have obtained the right of suffrage by the constitutional amendment and declares they will suffer more than others from the adoption of democratic free trade; endorses the ballet reform law; op- poses an extension of the hours of voting; congratulates the people on the success of President Harrison’s administration; ex- presses warm admiration of Speaker Reed for the strictly constitutional method which he adopted to overcome factions and unrea- sening opposrtion; calls upon the general assembly to emulate the national Republi- can principle of the appreciation of the claims of soldiers, and provide for the com- pletion of the soldiers’ home; cendernns se- verely the action of the democratic majority in the house of representatives for refusing to make an appropriation for State Irome and school, and Congratulates the present republican State administration. It. has been the jocular boast of a well- known Southern correspondent now in Washington that asa boy he killed more Yankees selling pies than any dozen Con- federates engaged in battle. No one ever imagined that an application for a pension would result from eating pic, but sucHr a case has actually been decided by‘the In- terior Department. Martha Hunt, the de- pendent mother of John Hunt. 8. private in the Fifty-eighth Indiana Volunteers, applied for a pension. It appears that while in the service Hunt one day pur- chased a pie from a pie woman and ate it. Shortly afterward he died, and in the ab- sence of a post-mortem examination, it is presumed he was poisoned by the pie. General Bussey decides that Hunt met his death while in the line of duty, and if the mother can show her dependence upon the son a pension shall be granted.— 0£ncinnati Gazette. We call the above to the special atten- tion of our friend Beach, of the Wiliimantic Journal, who erstwhile did such accept- able service'en this paper. If ever a man deserved a pension for reckless eating of pic that man is Beach. Time and again have we seen him take his life in one hand and an enormous pie in the other and face death as ravenously as a girl student at a cheap boarding school. Ells, the Norwaik machine pie baker, thinks that men with the courage and fortitude and iron constitution and abnormal powers of digestion like Beach should all be pen- sioned. Lieut.-C_ol. Skinner has received orders from the adjutant-geueral to assemble the field and line officers of the Fourth regi. ment at the armory. in Bridgeport, on or before March 25 to nominate a colonel to succeed Col.

Box. A. H. Bianca-ox :. Yours enclosing bill now pending before congress providing for the transfer of the remains of Joel Barlow from. Zarniwica, Poland, to his native land, and your later request that I should prepare for the GAZETTE a sketch of his life, are both re— ceived. Fortunately I have in my pos— session a nranuscript written at my request by my father, Rev. Moses Hill, the grand nephew of Joel Barlow, an extract from which will give a clearer idea of the life and distinguished services of the patriot, poet and statesman than any sketch that I might write. I transmit it herewith: “Joel Barlow, LL. D., the youngest son of Samuel Barlow by his second wife, Esther, was born March 24th, 1754, at the family residence in Redding. He received the rudiments of a primary education at the old school house in the district in which helived, located ncarthe site of the present one. I have heard the old residents of the district, who have long since died, speak of his attending school there. and being a rather dull scholar, too. He, however, in early youth was placed in “Meer’s school,” at Hanover, N. H., near the site of Dartmouth College, and after finishing his preparatory mum: at that school he entered Dartmouth as a student in the spring of 1774. .He was new tWenty years of age, and his father having died about two months before, it was found necessary to the legality of his arrangements with the college that he should have a guardian; accordingly he went before a magistrate by the name of Eleazor Wheelock, at Hanover, N, H., March 7th, 1774, and made choice of his “Honored mother, Esther Barlow, of Bedding, to be his guardian,” and on the 18th of the same month his application for her appointment, to the Probate Court of Fair-field, was granted. These two docu- ments are now on file among the probate records at Fair-field. Mrs. Barlow con- tinued to ofiiciate as the guardian of her son during the continuance of his minor— ity, but she died only a few months after. Mr. Barlow sustained a distinguished reputation for scholarship throughout his entire college Course of four years. He usually spent his- vacations at the paternal mansion at home, which was also the birth place and residence of my mother during her childhood and youth till her marriage, and she Said that in these vacation visits at home he frequently brought with him his college associates, and at one time he brought his friend Thomas Paine, whom at this time be admired as a powerful political writer,—as the author of the famous “Common Sense,” as a member of the “American Philosophical Society,” and as the editor of the “Pennsylvania Magazine,” but not as yet, probably, in- oculated with French infidelity. Some time after the commencement of his col- lege eotii'Se, for some reason not stated, he was transferred from Dartmouth to Yale college, where he graduated with great honor at the public commencement of the institution in 1788. On this occasion he delivered an original poem of a creditable character, which was afterward printed and preserved in a volume entitled “American Poems.” This was the first public effusion of his muse. After leaving college he entered upon the study of law, but was induced to change his course for the christian ministry; and after studying divinity for about three months, he was licensed as a Congregational minister, entered the army of the revolution as a cha. lain, and continued in the service to the CIOSe of the war In 1781 he received from Yale the title of A. M., on which occasion he delivered a poem on the “Prospect of Peace,” which was subse- quently embraced in his “Vision of Col- umbus." About this time he -married Miss Baldwin, of New Haven, a sister of Abraham Baldwin, for many years a dis- tinguished member of congress from Georgia. In 1783, after peace was declared, he settled in Hartford, Conn., and resumed the study of law, and to help his finances edited the “American Mercury.” While engaged in this business, being requested by the “Congregational General Associa- tion of Conn,” he revised Dr. Watt’s ver- sion of the Psalms and Hymns. which revision was published in 1786, comprising several devotional pieces of his own com position. It is believed that about this time he published a work on the book of Job, in which be rendered the entire book in verse. ‘ In 1787 he published his patriotic and popular poem entitled the “Vision of Columbus,” and it met with very flattering success in Europe as well as this country. The next year, 1788, he went to England and France in the interest of an “Ohio Land 00.,” and became somewhat identi- fied with the Girondist leaders of the French revolution. ‘ He entered with en tliusiasm into their plans and gave them the cordial support of his genius, his ex— perience and vigorous pen. In 1791 he returned from France to England and published his advice to the “Privileged Orders,” in which he exposes with the hand of a master the abuses of the feudal governments of'Europe. The next year he published a poem entitled “The Conspiracy of Kings.” These pub— licatiens rendered him very offensive to the ministerial party in England, and ac- cordingly near the close of the year he left for France, where he was received with great cordiality and respect, and soon after bad conferred upon him the rights of a French citizen. In 1793‘he assisted in the organization of Savoy as a department of the French republic. While at Chamberry in that department he wrote a political address to the people of Pied— mont, and amused himself in writing his poem on “Hasty Pudding." After his return to Paris be translated “Volney’s Ruins," and being greatly shocked at the atrocious conduct of the leaders of the French revolution he 'withdrew entirely from politics. It is believed that it was about this time Mr. Paine consulted him in regard to the expediency. of publishing his “Age of Reason,” and Mr. Barlow is reported to have charged him solemnly not to do it. In 1795 he was appointed by President Washington consul to Algiers with power to form treaties with the Barbary States, and procure the release of the American prisoners which were held there in slav— ery; and having succeeded in accomplish— ing the purposes of his mission he resigned his consulship and returned to Paris. About this time there occurred a rupture between France and the United States, and Mr. Barlow exerted himself greatly to bring about an amicable adjustment. For this purpose be addressed a letter to the people of the United States in reference to the measures of the party in power, and this,was soon followed by another, of marked ability, discussing the principles of maritime law and the rights of neutrals. In 1805, after an absence of seventeen years, he determined-torevisithis native land and the scenes of his youth. His adopted country having failed to secure x her liberties, and being new ruled by the iron hand of p despot, he sold out his real estate in: France and sailed for America. On his arrival in this country youth, and finally purchased and located himself in a beautiful Situation in the vicinity of Georgetown, District of Colum— bia, in the immediate neighborhood of the government officials, with whom he was on terms of great intimacy. In 1806 he projected a plan of a National Universrty, which, though it was referred to a com- mittee of the Senate, met with consider- able opposition and ultimately failed. He now gave his attention to the completion of the great poem of his life, “The Colum- bia'd,” and in 1808 published it in a style of nnexampled magnificence for that early period of book making in this country, but its high price limited its circulation ; it was. however, republished the follow— ing year in two volumes, and a very fine edition published in London. In 1811, after the Columbiad was off his hands, while diligently engaged in collecting material for writing a History of the United States, a work which he had long meditated, he was appointed minister plenipotentiary to to the French government. On his arrival in Paris he applied himself with great diligence to the duties of his new position and made every exertion to accomplish the purposes of his mission. In the first part of the winter of 1812, being invited by the Emperor, the first Napoleon, to a conference of ministers at Wilna, Poland, he left Paris and proceeded by forced stages, traveling night and day in the slow and hard conveyances of the time, annoyed with multitudineus discomforts, especially with the character of the public houses, and the cold of an almost Siberian winter, he urged his way on through a tedious overland journey of about a thousand miles toward his destination. In Poland they carnein contact With the shattered remnant of the French army in full retreat from the terrible disasters of its Russian campaign. The streets at length were found to be so obstructed with piles of dead men and dead horses frozen like rocks that it was almost im- possible to proceed. In some instances platoons were seen standing ~together frozen to death. Under these accumulated hardships the health of Mr. Barlow gave way and finally broke down entirely, so that he was compelled to stop at a place called Zarniwica, a small village in the neighborhood of Cracow, where ire died in a few days, on the 22d of December, 1812. His attendants were compelled to hurry up his burialvand also their own departure on the return journey in order to escape an inextricable entanglement in the retreating army of the Emperor, who had left it to its fate and fled across the country in cog to Paris like a. whipped dog to the protection of his kennel. While Mr. Barlow was dying amid the regions of an Arctic winter in Poland, from the effects of the superhuman efforts he had male to reSpond to the call of the Emperor to meet him there, the latter was quietly ensconced in his palace at home, where he arrived at midnight, December 18th, a few hours before the death of the former. Thus ended the career of Joel Barlow, in the 59th year of his age. I’ saw his nephew, Thomas Barlow, who was with him as his private secretary after his re— turn to this country, and heard him depict the terrible sufferings of that journey and the scenes of his uncle’s death. He said that on his return journey to Paris the cold was so intense that the driver of his conveyance had to whip him with great severity to keep him from freezing to death.” . That such a man as Joel Barlow, who, with Washington and Hamilton, had been honored by the French republic with the privileges of its citizenship; who had been placed in the most exalted positions and rendered such distinguished services for his native country; that such a man, facing and finding death in the perform— ance of duty, should be permitted to lie in an almost unknown and forgotten grave upon the plains of Poland. has always seemed to me to be a sad commen- tary upon the gratitude of this state and nation.
