Our Washington Correspondent.
Washington, I). C., June 25, 1K76.
It is wonderful how some men, who arc
not personally liked or trusted by any one,
can create a furrore by their appearance
in public. Last Monday night the Re
publican* of this city hold a ratification
meeting, at which Butler, together with
all the prominent leaders of the party
were announced to speak. The crowd
was immense, and of course hurrahed for
each speaker, but Butler was the only one
who received a spontaneous hearty greet
ing, and exactly why, no one appeared to
know. The loungers in the galleries of
the House, ami those whose business
compels them to listen to Congressional
platitudes day after day, miss Butler sadly
from the floor. His wit, impudence, and
bravado have served to lightou many an*
heiw in that Cave''of the Winds, where
tuofe spigiad cagleism and buncombe are
shot off than any other place of its size in
the World. Once a member introduced a
bill to levy a tax on Jackasses. Butler
arose, as solemn as a judge, and said:
“Mr. Speaker, I move to amend that bill
by striking out the word ‘Jackasses’ and
inserting the word ‘Congressmen’ instead.
During the Cincinnati Convention the
feeling in this City ran very high in fiver
of Blaine, and the feeling everywhere was
Blaine first, and if uot Blaine, then give
the nomination to any one sooner than to
Conkling or Morton. Neither Conkling
or Morton are favorites in this city.
Morton is one of the most immoral men in
the country, and is too reniiy to change
his political views when lie finds it to his
advantage to do so. He can and does
“flop” over quicker and more frequently
than any other one in the Senate. Conk
ling is too vain, selfish, and domineering
ever to boa favorite, socially, anywhere.
Both gentlemen are honest, however, and
have never had their names connected
with anything like bribery or corruption.
In 1872, a young man by the name of
Slatter killed a man by the name of
Hussey, for which crime he was tried and
sentenced to be hung. A. new trial was
granted him, when he pleaded guilty of
manslaughter, and was sent to the peni
tentiary for four years. Some time since
it began to be rumored around that money
liad been expeuded to get the new trial,
and that the Judge, who presided, got at
least a portion of it. The Judge at once
sent to Slatter and said that if he would
make an affidavit to the effect that he had
received none of it, he would get him
pardoned. The affidavit was made, and
Slatter pardouod. The first thing Slatter
did after beieg released was to get out an
indictment against Richard Harrington,
the District Attorney, and A. B. Wil
liams for having charged his $15,000 for
the new trial. Harrington has fled the
country on account of his connection with
the Safe Burglary conspiracy.
The President has felt it his duty to call
the attention of Congress to the dead lock
that now exists between the two houses
in regard to the appropriation bill. The
House wishes to out down the salaries of
Consuls, Clerks, and Officers of the Gov
ernment to an unheard of degree, and to
which the Senate refuses to concur.
Neither body w ill yield one iota, and un
less a compromise is effected by the Ist
of July, it is feared that most serious
results will follow. There will then be no
appropriations to carry on the govern
ment, and if the President does what he
threatened some time ago, he will close
the Courts and Custom Houses, and recall
all of our Ceti-uls from abroad, and thus |
bring the business of the whole country
to a stand still. It will be a sad day lor |
the country if the House bill should be- 1
come a law, for many of the Lest men in
the employ of the Government, will be
driven out, and those who remain will be
the idle and worthless who are worth little
to themselves or anyone else. It will be
penny wise and pound foolish.
The President remarked to a friend ol
his, a few days ago, that he considered it
absolutely necessary to him that Hayes
should be elected, In order that there may
be a continuation of the Republican rule.
He says that be lias done nothing to de
serve it, but thut if the Republicans do
not win in this presidential campaign,
that the House will try to impeach him
the coming winter.
The bill for the transfer of the Indian
bureau to the War department lias passed
the House, but the Senate will .take no
immediate action upon it. Sometime
since J had a long talk with a Major of
the Regular army, who has been stationed
in the West ever since the close of the
war, and who has had to deal with the
Indians for yours. He says anything
more foolish or suicidal than the present
peace policy was never known. The In
dians are lazy, treacherous, and blood
thirsty, and will nearly always kill u white
person where they can do so with safety,
flic only plan which can he successfully
carried out is to put them on reservations
and keep them there, and keep the whites
away from them. To treat them kindlj
in simply to convince them that you fear
them, und they will lift your topknot in
return at the first opportunity.
Owing to the unwillingness of Congress
to summon 197 witnesses for Bristow,
thut gentleman has stricken about 50 from
the list, but thinks that at least 140 are
necessary to vindicate him. The Senate
will begin to sit as a Court of Impeach
ment from July 6, and as the Senate con
siders it absolutely necessary that the
House should be in session while the trial
is going on, the whole of Congress will
prdiably be kept here all summer.
Secretary Bristow has resigned, and
Senator Morrill, of Maine, has been
chosen as his successor. It is confidently
expected that Ex-Speaker Blaine will be
appointed to fill Mr. Morrill's unexpired
term as Senator. If ho is there will be
sonic lively times in the Fog Bank. Both
Morton and Conkling hate Blaine, and
Blaine returns their feelings with interest.
No one of the three have ever been sus
pecte 1 of either having in the past, or art*
now willing to obey the scriptural in
junction to be slapped twice before they
take their coats off. Blaine has received
two offers this week to lecture, one at
S2OOO and the other at SIOOO a week, but
declined them both. ( lie has not
yet recovered from his sickness, and does
not expect to resume his seat in Congress
at present.
The President has sent a message to
Congress saying that the British authori
ties have released Winslow and Brent, and
that in future he will have nothing more
to do with extradition between England
ami America unless it is their special wish
that he should.
During the past week a bill passed the
House fur the equalization of bounties to
the Union soldiers, but which lias such a
suspicious look just at this time, that no
one here pretends to uphold it. If it
does not meet its death in the Senate,
the President says that he will veto it, as
the country cannot afford to have the
Treasury depleted to any such extent at
present.
A Word to Farmers.
We notice that many farmers throw j
their cotton seed in heaps in the open air,
without even a shelter over them to pro
tect them from exposure to tjie rain and
sun. They do the same wiah stable and
lot manure. Th>.y are certainly ignorant
of the fact that the principal fertilizing
quality in these articles is ammonia, which
is extremely volatile, and is constantly
escaping into the air, and that, every
minute they are thus exposed the very
best part of these fertilizers is being lost.
The most economical way to use cotton
seed is to keep them iu a house until
February or March, and, when ready for
use, put them green into the soil. \\ hen
composted, as many use them, most oi
the ammonia is lost iu scattering them,
where they lay for hours without being
plowed under. The same applies to all
other kinds of manures that contain
ammonia.
Some people haul their lot manure into
the fields ill small piles, and let it remain
for weeks thus exposed, and even spread
it in the furrow and permit it to remain
for a length of time uncovered. This is
a great mistake, as, besides the loss as
as above stated, there is no economy in
the plan. As soon as one row of piles is
finished all available hands should spread
and plow it under at once.
This has been au unprececented season
for work on the farm. Any planter who
has not thoioughly plowed every foot of
land he intends planting this year has
certainly been too lazy to work; and, it he
fails to make a good crop, will have no
one to blame hut himself. Deep and
thorough preparation before planting is
indispeusable to success in iarming. One
great fault in the system ot farming iu
this country is, that the people who cul
tivate stiff land do not plow it deep
enough or often enough. Another difli-
culty is the want of draining. Land that
is sobbed with wuter a good portion of
the year especially if it be plowed in this
condition, no matter how good or bow
much fertilizers may be put on it, will not
produce a paying crop. First see that
your land is drained, then plow it and
subsoil it; and with some turf and the
seed of the cotton that grows on it you
can expect a good crop. Twenty acres to
the horse is enough where the land is
stiff, and often too wet to plow.—Mcr
chant and Farmer.
