It does not require a close observer to note that ihi* present age is possess ed of many great, evils, whether more than those of other limes we do Dot care to discuss. Of our own time n writer in the Westminster Re’-iew seems to think that Irreverence is one of the ruling evils. At any rate, it is sufficiently prevalent to attract the atteiiiioi\of eveiy thoughtful pertom Says the waiter • I « ™ ‘ Nothing in'these limes is serious or sedate, nothing is lull of the springs of compassion or moral motive that is not turned to the poor purpose cl tri vial ridicule. Our children are taught to laugh at everything, and to trem* hie at nothing.’ This is true also of America; far truer than in England. The sentiment of reverence is almost extinguished. The voting regard the old people as hol es. Young women call the young men fellows.’ Great fundamental truths are called ‘ dogmas.’ If some unhap py wretch.biows his brains out, it is telegraphed by the Associated Press with some flippant heading as a lively bit ot news. A great conflagration is ^ telegraphed ns a ‘ 8200,000 fire.’ A murderous assault, with perhaps a fa tal result, is headed in the papers ‘shooting scrape.’ Women drink. Young ladies go from the theatre to the restaurant. Christian women read Zola’s novels. Every man, woman and child considers himself or hcrselt as the peer oi anybody. There is a universal reign of slang. There is little true refit etneut of feeling ; everything is vulgarized. The remedy is in the family. If parents will not keep their children in subordination, and govern iheir households, and teach their chil dren to respect what is worthy to be respected, we shall discover after a u hile that Young America lias torn up all the foundations of social and moral order. There is a gale Mowing, tlie like of which has not been seen Ik fore in this age, and we shall see our shores strewn with wrecks. Ol’lt WASHINGTON LETTER. Fbtiriiffs on tlie Floor, and other Topics. From onr Special Correspondent. Washington, D. C. Dec. 24, ’80. Congress has been electrified this week with the liveliest sort of a sen sation. It carried us all back to the good old days of chivalry, when Brooks, of Carolina, wore out a gut- ter-percha cane on Sumner, of Mas sachusetts, an^ when,a gen’lej fiom Wisconsin literally snitch gentleman from Alabama bald ^head ed on the floor ot the House. Speaking of “ practical politics,” that speech of Emory Speer’s, ops posing an appropriation of 8400,000 for fortifications, was a good speci men. Mr. Speer is on the right line Comptroller Campbell, who took John Kelly’s place, has dismissed fifteen officers, btcause he deemed their services unnecessary. The. sal aries ot those officers aggregated $17,360 per annum. It is said that several tweed mattu 1 factories from Soolland will move to America, because they can get so much better prices for their goods here. This shows how protection works. THOSE Who calculated on a cotton crop of 6,000,000 bales are going to be badly mistaken. According to pre pent estimates, the number of bales will not much exceed five and a quar ter millions. a solid oplnton. The New York World pertinently remarks that Virginia was once the mother of Presidents: but that now her daughter, Ohio, was not only the mother of Presidents, but of Supreme Court Justices also. Atlanta is gorag to organize a cavalry company, with Gen. Pierce Young as captain. Each member must bo of high social standing, they say. Now we know that the liberties of the county are sate. Benevolence takes strange turns sometimes. Jas E. Brown, a wealthy citizen of Kitanning, Penn., who died recently, left $25 to each widow in the place, and the same sum to every wife who shall become a widow. TnERE is a lively contest going on now, among the Rads, as to who shall be speaker of the House. It is sup posed to lie between Frye, of J/aint, Conger, of Michigan, Burrows, of -Michigan, and Kasson, ol Iowa. The statement is made that Dr. Felton is getting ready to join the radicals. We cannot believe it. Even if there were no principle involved, the policy would be unwise. What could be make by it, that would compensate him for the cost ? Senator Jones, of Florida, in a re cent conversation gave utterance to the following thoughts, which com mend themselves to the people of the South just at this time : No candid man, who looks at the condition of the South to-day, and who remembers the state it was in under republican rule, can say that the democratic party has done nothing for us. Why should we abandon an organization which raised the white masses of the South from the helpless and oppressed condition in which the republicans placed them to the atll tude of free Americans, with all the rights and blessings of self-govern ment ? Where would the white mas ses of the South be to-day, if they had been left to the tender mercy of that party which set up among them and over them the most infamous system of government ever seen on the face of the earth ? Can you for get the long years through which we struggled against the inflamed pas sions of the black race, supported by all the powers of the government in order to restore healthy and honest rule at the South ? And where could we go if wo disbanded the dem ocratic party ? Would itfbe possible to organize a great admiration society, made up of botli black and white, which would break down Northern prejudice and restore to the coi ntry a spirit ot genuine fraternity? Will the time never come when the people of the North shall realize the true condition ot the South ? Talk as we may about the evils ot a solid South, the slightest reflection will tell us that solidity has been our salvation. From the time the republican party first un dertook the great work of reconstruct ing the South until the present h-oir, it has never for one moment made any allowance for the previous history, habits, feelings and institutions of the South. This has been the fatal blunder ot that party. With all its boa?ted wisdom, it has legislated os rudely and in as wild a spirit of pre judice ar.d passion for ten millions of intelligent freemen as ever did a bar barous power for the serfs which its arms had conquered. Covington Enterprise; The sur veyors of the proposed extension of the Maoon and Brunswick road reach ed Covington one day last week. From one of the surveyors we learn that the Covington route would no doubt bo selected. Said he, “ It is as easy to grade as baa ever been any road iu the State. It will be the nearest and cheapest route that can be chosen to the West The people all along our survey seem to be en thused on the subject” RAILROAD TRAVEL. Despite ah the accidents of railroad travel is the safest kind of transit yet devised. A French statistician, wbo is not connected with railroad journ alism, has shown that France, pre vious to the existence ot railroads, one passenger in every 335,000 was killed, and one out of every 30,000 wound ed, whereas between 1835 and 1875 th re was but one iu 6,178,890 killed, and one 650,450 wounded. From this is interred a diminishing tendency to accident* which must be net down to tho credit ot railroads. THE FIERY SPARKS. Among the Illitiois delegation, is a big, double jointed fellow named Sparks, and like the sparks mention ed in the Scriptures, he is prone to fly upward. I don’t think there is much harm in Sparks. He is the Chairs man of the Military Committee; but this is a time of profound ]>eace, and Sparks has no opportunity of saliat- ing his thirst for gore on the foreign enemies of the American eagle. Sparks has an idea that it is the duty of his committee to be war-like at all times, and consequently ever since I have had any knowledge of him, lie has kept up a sort of Wagnerian ac companiment to the music of Conger’s horn, and all of the other dulcet in struments which are attuned on the floor of the House. Last session he ealled I leister Clymer, of Pennsyl vania, a liar, and if there is an in offensive gentleman in America, it is Ileistcr Clymer. The House let hint off then, after a very niggardly and crabbed apology, ic which he seemed to think he conferred a favor on the House by apologizing. On Tuesday last, General Weaver, the Greenbacker par excellence, took the floor, and he was very aggravat ing for about two hours, particularly to the Northern Democrats. Weaver is a good talker, and I think he was getting off a re-hash ol his campaign speeches during the last contest ; and what he said and the way he said it was very amusing. The Northern Democrats all seem to hate Weaver, and what he said was very irritating to them. BLAND, BUT NOT CHII-DLIKE. Bland, of Missouri, was put for ward to reply to him, and did reply very bitterly—accused Weaver ol selling out to the republicans during the late campaign, &c. Weaver re plied to him good-hntnorcdly, when Mr. Sparks came forward and sprang into the arena. He got into a collo quy with Weaver, which he ended by saying that Weaver’s statement was a falsehood. Weaver paid no atten tion to it, in the confusion which was very great, and after awhile Sparks again arose and attempted to explain away his language to Weaver. Weaver replied that he had not considered the language of Mr. Sparks as offensive, and that always be would strike a man if in the reach of his arm, who applied to him directly an epi thet like that which Sparks had used. THE FUN BEGINS. Then it was that the fun began. ‘I spur-r-r-n the reach of your right a-r- r-r-m. It would have,’ said Sparks, ‘as little effect on me as it had on the last Presidential campaign.’ ‘Well, said Weaver, ‘it is all settled now—I accept your apology.’ ‘Yes,’ says Sparks, ‘and if you had had the in stincts of a gentleman, yon would not have made the statement,’ or some thing to that effect. ‘You proved,’ said lie, ‘that you did not have the instincts of a gentleman in the last campaign.’ Weaver very quietly said, and iu mildest way I ever heard, ‘I denounce the gentleman as a liar on the floor of this house.’ Sparks, with a tremen dous shake ot his fist, thundered ’You a-r-r-e-a se-c c coundrel and a villain, and if you come in reach I will hit you,’ said the Colossus—the word hit being, as I thought, a very ‘lame and impotent’ expression, when front his looks and manner I thought nothing but the explosion of a torpedo, loaded with a thousand pounds of dynamite, in the pit of Weaver’s stomach, would at all appease the magnificent wrath of the Illinoisan. At this challenge Weaver stepped out in the arena in front of the Speak er’s desk, and started in a very slow stage strut towards Sparks. Sparks saw that he was really coming— though like the mills of the gods, he was coming very slowly—when he seized a chair—one of these rolling chairs, with four legs nod rollers, which he endeavored to lift, with a view of presenting the legs at Weaver as a sort of cheveaux dufrtsc—his ser vice on the Military Committee havs ing taught him the value of this sort of fortification. By this time, Einstein, a big Dutchman from New York, had caught Weaver, and three or four men had canght Sparks. Several others seen such Herculean efforts as were made by the belligerents to throw off their captors and engage in deadly combat. Sparks could have extermi nated Weaver, or Weaver Sparks, long before anybody thought of catch ing them, but it was not until securely pinioned that the g.iattd effort was made. In the meantime, Speaker Randall rushed into tlie chair (the House had been in Committee of tlie Whole) and ^vociferously called for^.*5^ order, and ordered tho Sergeant- at- Arms to suppress the riot. GALLANT PHIL COOK. General Phil. Cook was in the midst of the shindy. I have never seen the old gentleman seem more at home sit.ee he lias been in Washing ton. He screamed at the top of his voice, ‘Trot out tlio American eagle,’ and jolin g. thompson, (as the Ohio papers call him) seized the mace, and with stately dignity walked out and stood in the aisle near \V eaver. The mace is pretty heavy, and jolin g got tired of holding it, and finally rested tlie butt end of it on his abdomen, and there stood as the type of law and order. FINIS. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. GLORIOUS NEWS! tin of getting a bargafn and a reliable Piitio. Address, for Fall 1S80 Price Li si and Catalogues, Lutlih-n A Bates’ Southern 3! kmc House, Savannah, Ra. dee.12.d2t.w2t. The next morning a motion was made to expel both Sparks and Weav er, but they both begged pardon so piteously, and the House was in such a good humor at the approach of ebrislntas, that they accepted their apology and let them go in peace. My own opinion is that both of the gentlemen enjoyed the notoriety which tlie circumstance gives them, and I am heartily delighted that both of them are Northern men, and that the newspapers cannot jeer at our section for this new instance of ‘plantation manners.’ The whole scene was hu miliating. There is no blood ou the moon now, and the gentlemen con cerned will let the matter rest where it is. ADJOURNMENT. The House adjourned on Wednes day, while the funding bill rejxtrted by Mr. Wood from the Committee of Ways and Meftns, wit being ' conti<$r ered. There is a iccesa now until the 5th of January. Most the members have gone home. They will return at that time, bringing their families witlt them, when the gay scasoD in Washington will begin, and last until Lent. There have been no gayeties as yet. SNOW. The snow is on the ground now a foot deep, and it is falling heavily as I write. The sleigh-bells are ringing, and swift trotters dashing by with the light cutter sleighs, aud add great .variety to the scenes on the streets and ave nues. Sleigh-riding is very enjoyable, at least it looks so. I hear that the market Christmas morning is a sight wortii seeing, I am going down to-morrow to take a look at it, and I may write you in my next of some of the things I see. THE GEORGIANS. Ot the Georgia delegation, Blount and Hammond have gone home. All of the others, I think, are taking their Christmas here. Mr. Stephens gives a dining to-morrow to Senator Brown and family, Mr. Speer and Miss Laura, and Col. Richard Johnson, ot Baltimore, itis talented biographer. Mr. Oglesby, formerly of the Ban ner, is here, aud is hopeful that the Georgia electoral vote will be counted. As the boys in the office will not want to be over-worked next week, I will say au revoir. L. C.
