FROM THE FEDERAL CAPITAL.
Washington, D. C. March 17, 1876.
The Campaign may be said to have fully
opened with the organization of the National
Democratic Congressional Committee, who
are now installed at rooms at 1324 F
street in this city. The Associated Press
has failed to give, in detail, and with clesua
bel accuracy, the personnel of the Committee,
and as State and local organizations, and
other democrats all over the country, will
have frequent occasion to address the oilicers,
we append, at the request of the Committee,
the following information ;
Rooms of National Democratic Congres
sional Committee, 1324 F street, Washing
ton, D. C.
Senate. —lion. J. W. Stevenson, of Ken
tucky, Hon. W. W. Eaton, of Connecticut;
Hon. D. V. White, of Maryland ; Hon. H. G.
Davis, of West Virginia; Hon. J. B. Gordon,
of Georgia.
House of Representatives. —Hon. Iliester
Clymer, of Pennsylvania; lion. C. W.
Chapin, of Massachusetts; Hon. J. W.
Throckmorton, of Texas ; Hon. A. S. Hewitt,
of New York ; Hon. C. E. Hooker, of Missis
sippi ; Hon. M. Sayler, of Ohio.
District of Columbia. —Mr. W. W. Cor
coran, Mr. James K, Harvey, and Mr.
Charles Mason.
The Democratic organizations in all the
States and Territories are requested to send
the names of their Committees, immediately,
to the Congressional Committee.
Applications for documents, speeches, and
other political matter, and all communica
tions relating to the business of the Commit
tee, should be addressed to the Secretary,
Hon. James E> Harvey, 1324 F street, Wash
ington City..
Editors who send their newspapers to the
Committee will be furnished with all docu
ments free of charge.
II iester Clymer, Chairman.
W. 11. Barnum, Treasurer.
James E, Harvey, Secretary.
It will be seen that lion. Hiester Clymer,
Chairman of the Committee which investiga
ted the Belknap scandal, is, also, Chari man
of the National Democratic Congressional
Committee, and no man better fitted for the
position could have been chosen. Mr. Cly
mer is a gentleman of particulary suave and
agreeable address, and, unquestionably, a
roan of great ability. The Committee are
fortunate, also, in securing the services, as
secretary, of Hon. James E. Harvey late U.
8. Minister to Portugal, a man of letters, a
journalist of note, and a man of varied and
extended information, whose large acquaint
ance and experience must prove of great
value to the party.
THE DISTRICT INVESTIGATION.
The investigation of the affairs ot the Dis
trict Government and of the Board of Audit,
which is being continued from day to day
by the House Committee on the District of
Columbia, discloses a system of official
swindling and robbing, bv wholesale and re
tail. that completely throw's into the shade
the crimes of Tweed and his associates in
New York. We have been under a sort of
provost-marshal rule. From the President
and his cabinet down to the Chiefs of
Bureaus, and from Judges of the Supreme
Court of the District and the District Attor
ney down to the Constables, utter disregard
of the law, where anything couid be made by
violating it or where the interests of any of
the various Rings were at stake, has been
the rule.
more of belknap’s rascality.
Another one of ex-Secretary Belknap's
post-trading operations has come to light.
The informant is C. S. Bell, a man well
known in Washington. He will give his tes
timony before the committee shortly. At
the close of the war, Beil, who had been a
scout in General S. A. Hurlbut’s divisor),
was appointed to the Secret Service Depart
ment on General Re3 r nold’s staff, in Texas.
He remained there for several years, and, in
1872, learning that the post tradership at
Fort Davis, a station on the Western frontier
of Texas, had become vacant, he came to
Washington to secure the vacant post trader
ship. He brought with him letters of rccom
mendation from General Reynolds and other
prominent gentlemen. Shortly after his ar
rival here, he went to Secretary Belknap,
exhibited his recommendations, and asked
for the position. The Secretary appeared
somewhat indignant at being approached
personalty upon such a petty subject, in
asmuch as the po3t-tradership at Fort Davis
was not a very large affair. Bell, being
higbtempered, replied shaply, and left the
Secretary’s presence. He had gone no fur
ther than the entrance to the War Depart
ment office, however, when a clerk of Mr.
Belknap came after him, and asked him to
return for a few moments. Mr. Bell did as
requested. The Secretary treated him kind
ly ; said that the post-tradership at Fort
Davis was vacant, but that it was worth to
him $2,000 a year. Bell said he would con
sider the proposition; but concluded that
$2,000 per annum was more than he could
pay for the privilege of obtaining the post,
and did not accept it. He is willing to testi
fy to this statement, as a fact.
GRANT RECEIVES A PAIR OF PONIES FOR AN
INDIAN POST-TRADERSHIP.
As soon as the Committee can get at it, a
well known gentlemon of unimpeachable in
tegrity will testify to a fact which places the
President in a hardly less disgraceful posi
tion than that of Belknap. The gentleman
to whom 1 refer holds himself ready to swear
that, on a certain occasion, he went to the
White House, and introduced to the Presi
dent a gentleman who wanted a post-trader
ship on an Indian agency. This gentleman
made his. application, and, after having made
it, then remarked to the President, in the
heat ing of the witness,, that, in traversing
the Indian country, he had come across the
finest pair of* Indian ponies which he had
ever laid eyes upon, aud, if the gift would be
acceptable, he would like to make a present
of them do the President’s boys. Thereupon,
without any hems or haw& tlie President ac
cepted the gift, and at once sent a telegram
to the Commandant of the Post where the
ponies then were, ordering them to be iro
mediately forwarded at his (Grant’s) expense.
Shortly after, the applicant received an ap
pointment; not, indeed, to the post or agen
cy for which he had applied, but to another
equally as lucrative.
"LET NO GUILTY MAN ESCAPE.”
THE SAFE BURGLARY BUSINES TO BE SIFTED.
The confession of Nettleship, one of the
safe burglary conspirators, is likely to* lead
to the indictment of several prominent mem
bers of the District ring. This confession
ha 9, thus far, been carefully guarded by
DisTiet Attorney Wells, who admitted, in his
testimony given to the Judiciary Committee
of the House, on Saturday, that he had
promised Nettleship immunity from prosecu
tion in return for his testimony. Those
most familiar with this case believe that, if
the whole truth is discovered, it will impli
cate two or three men whe were, at the time
of the burglary, public officers; besides
others who were interested in the District
investigation. If Harrington is shown to
have been one of the conspirators, as he pro
bably was, it is believe 1 that he will prove
to have been simply an agent, and not one
of the principals. The committee are con
ducting the investigation in secret, and, in
this waj\ hope to get to the bottom facts.
A large number of witnesses have been sum
moned to appear before them this week,
including several persons in New Y r ork,
Newark and Boston. Mr. Proctor Knott,
the chairman of the committee, says that this
investigation will be deeper than the last,
and that he is determined to “let no guilty
man escape.”
The Northern Excursionists in Allanta.
The Governor and the citizens of Atlanta ha
ving invited a large number of the leading
merchants of the Northwest to visit our State
for the mutual advancement of their commer
cial interests, and with a view to the cultiva
tion of fraternal feeling and relations, their
action met with a hearty response. Invita
tions were addressed to representative men
of the leading cities and towns, entitling the
bearers to free transportation from Nashville
to Atlanta and other points in Georgia. The
delegates commenced arriving on Monday of
last week, and up to Thursday some 500 had
reached the Gate city. A grand reception
was given at the Opera House ; speeches of
welcome were made by Gov. Smith, Mayor
Hammock and other prominent gentlemen.
The “ Atlantese,” as they always do, had
their “ right foot foremost” and everybody
rigged out in their best “ bib and tuck.”—
From Atlanta, the “ norwesters” went to Au
gusta ; from there to Port Royal; thence to
Savannah and other important commercial
points. Judging from the tone of the press,
the excursionists have had all possible re
spect shown them ; were banqueted, feasted
and feted in the various cities on their route
of travel; and it is to he truly hoped that
their minds have been disabused of the pre
judices engendered by loud-mouthed section
al politicians, and that they will now fully
comprehend our vast resources and better
understand the friendly feeling of our people
toward their fellow-men of all classes.
The Matter Well Put.
The Philadelphia Press truly says : “Why
should Mr. Belknap, for example, have
thought that a man in his high office could
not have the most satistfactory social recog
nition? How comes it about that SB,OOO a
year is fatal to a family’s social standing?
Can a man get no acknowledgment of his
mental abilities, his wit, or his fidelity, but
must clothe himself in sumptuous appoint
ments? Much is said in these days of
inadequate salaries; that they are not
enough to sustain the demands of a man’s
social position. Is salary then the basis of
social position? That’s the lie in men’s
minds Unit corrupts them. It ought not to
be tolerated. The time ought to come back
again when mania od, and integrity, and gra
ces of mind and heart should fix a man’s place
in public respect, and his title to social courte
sies. Unit! this point is gained society is a
lacquered thing, or a hollow pageant. No, it is
something worse—a heap of festering, heated
muck and dirt, forcing mushroom growths
and toadstools all over its surface. There
is no valid basis of respect but industry and
fidelity; no sound social distinctions but
those of personal ability or culture. When
these are recognized so that these alone
allure men and women in their ambition to
get up in the world, the most formidable
temptation to dishonesty and dishonor will
disappear from our land.”
The Gubernatorial Contest.
The Dahlonega Signal has this to say on
the above subject, and we give the remarks to
our readers, “ letting them go,” as the clown
used to sa} 7 in the circus, “ for what they’ll
fetch.”
“ While each of the gentlemen whose names
are prominentty before the people as the nom
inee for Governor, at the October election,
have their warm friends and adherents in the
mountain counties of N. E. Georgia, we think,
from all we can gather, that Gen. Colquitt is
in the lead. Northeast Georgia is now a
splendid missionary ground, and an aspirant
who might deem the game worth the light,
and come up and see the want s of this coun
try, and lend a helping hand in its develop
ment, would gain an accession to his strength
that might tell in the approaching Conven
tion.”
The Caucus and the Conclusion.
The special correspondent of the Cincin
nati Enquirer , in speaking of the adoption of
the Payne compromise by the Democratic
caucus, says:
“ Wall street has triumphed, and notwith
standing the loud rebuke of the New Hamp
shire election, the leaders of the Democracy
have cut their throats from ear to ear, and
the Presidential campaign is to be fought on
the platform of the enemy. The Democrats
in caucus to night adopted Payne’s compro
mise. There were about 150 Democrats pres
ent. There was not much debate, but the
Money Power has evidently seen their ruin.”
Belknap not Alone.
It is stated, remarks a worthy cotempora
ry, that the testimony against ex-Secretary
Delano and his son John Delano will reveal
a course of corruption under their adminis
tration of the interior department equally in
famous with Belknap in the war department.
Attorney General Pierrepont and those under
him will feel the hard hand of severe investi
gation. and the revelations in the manage
ment of the postoffice department are said to
be much worse than those elicited by the
committee on postoffices aud post roads. If
there is not more than one impeached official
of as high position as the late secretary of
war before the house finally adjourns it will
not be from lack of sufficient evidence.”
St. Patrick’s Day.
While it is only in the larger cities th*t
“the anniversary of the patron saint of Ire
land” is annually celebrated, still, perhaps,
many of our friends in the “rural districts,”
who have heard of “St. Patrick's day in the
morning” all their lives, would like to learn
something more of his life and character. We
therefore reproduce from the Chronicle 4r
Sentinel, Augusta, of the 16th, the following
extract of the history of the “ chieftain” whom
all Irishmen “delight to honor:”
According to most authorities, St. Patrick was
born near the site of Kilpatrick, at the mouth of
the Ctyde, in Scotland, in 372, and died at Down,
Ulster, probably in 464. At the age of sixteen he
was carried captive to Ireland by a band of ma
rauders, but made his escape after six months,
and reached Scotland. Carried off a second time,
and again escaping, he resolved to become a mis
sionary to the Irish, was ordained in Scotland, and
after a long preparation was consecrated bishop.
Having previously, according to some accounts,
visited Gaul, andperhaps Italy, he passed over to
his chosen field of labor about 432, and preached
the Gospel with such extraordinary effect that,
absolutely not the first to introduce Christianity
into that country, he has always received the credit
of its general conversion. He baptised the Kings
of Dublin and Munster, and the seven sons of the
King of Connaught, with the greater part of their
subjects, and before his death had converted al
most the whole island to the faith. St. Bernard
testifies that he fixed his metropolitan see at
Armagh, and it appears that he appointed several
other bishops, with whom he hela councils to set
tle the discipline of the church which he had plant
ed. In his old age he wrote his “Confession,”
t'ne authenticity of which, however, is doubted.—
It may be found in Sir-James Ware’s edition of
the works of St. Patrick. A popular legend ascribes
to St. Patrick the banishment of all venomous
creatures from the island by means of his crosier
or staff, which Ralph Higden in his “Polychroni
con” mentions as being kept with great veneration
in Dublin in 1360.
St. Patrick was a prisoner in Ireland for nearly
seven years, and it was while in that situation that
he acquired the knowledge of the language which
afterwards assisted him to convert the country to
Christianity. Upon gaining his liberty, St. Patrick
repaired to the monastery of his illustrious rela
tive, St. Martin, where he spent four years in pre
paring himself for the work which he felt himself
inspired by God to fulfill, viz : the conversion of
the Irish people from paganism to Christianity.—
In a vision granted to nim by the power of God,
he read the words : “ The voice of the Irish,” and
at the same time heard the voice of that people
crying out to him, “ Come and walk among us.”
After studying for some nine years under S. S.
Honoratus and Maximus, he, by the advice of St.
Germanus, his director, proceeded to Rome, and
there solicited and obtained from Pope Celestine
commission to preach the Gospel in Ireland.—
“ Happy, thrice blessed,” says an enthusiastic
chronicler of the times, “ when Patrick landed at
Strangford, 432, and baptised Dicho, the chief of
that district in the North of Ireland. But happier
far when our Saint visited Leogaire, the monarch
of Ireland, when assembled in the courtly Ilalls
of Tara.” By the laws of the country, no fires
were to be lighted before the Realsinne , or Baal
fire, but St. Patrick and his companions, among
whom was Benegnus, had determined to celebrate
the Feast of Easter, and, for that purpose, had
pitched their tents aud lighted their fires. Let us
here note the reply of the Druid priests in answer
to the inquiry of tnc King concerning this strange
violation of the law. “ This fire, which has now
kindled before our eyes, unless extinguished
this very night, will never be extinguished through
out all time ; moreover it will tower over all fires
of our ancient rites, and he who lights it will ere
long scatter your ancient kingdom.” The King
was enraged, yet next day Patrick preached in the
Halls of Tara, and Leogaire declared : “It is bet
ter that I should believe than die.' I '' It was while
engaged in the work of conversion that the sham
rock was first adopted as the national emblem of
Ireland. While attempting to explain th j truth
of the Scriptures to the King of Munster, he found
him disposed to receive them, but unable to un
derstand the doctrine of the Holy Trinity. “How,”
asked the rude chieftain, “can there be three per
sons in one?” Puzzled at first what reply to
make, the Saint, casting his eyes upon the ground,
beheld a'shamrock. Taking it up he showed to
the barbariau monarch the three little blades,
each separate and distinct, yet the three forming
but one stem, and the King was at once convinced
by this simple but forcible demonstration. St.
Patrick lived, according to the legend, one hun
dred and twenty years, and passed his life in
travelling through Ireland, gaining converts and
founding churches and monasteries.
Declared Unconstitutional.
At the late February term of Monroe Su
perior Court, Judge John I. Hall rendered a
decision declaring that the act incorporating
the “Direct Trade Union of the Patrons of
Husbandry” was unconstitutional, and hence
that corporation has no existence in law. A
large number of able lawyers (says the For
syth Advertiser) were present in the court
room—Messrs. Clifford Anderson, Wooten
and Simmons from Macon, Hunt of Barnes
ville, the local bar of Forsyth—and all agreed
that the decision of Judge Hall was a prop
er one.
