OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington, D. C., Dec. 22,1874.
No political developments of unusu
al interest yet. The session still con
tinues very dull. The House, as you
have seen by the telegraphic news, has
been on “ Appropriations” for the last
few days. The Morrill bill for the gov
ernment of the District of Columbia,
has engaged the attention of the Sen
ate. This bill excites the deepest in
terest in this city and district, and in
volves principles of the gravest impor
tance. Its discussion, up to this time,
has been marked by no party lines.
Morrill, who introduced it, is a Maine
Radical. Morton, the Radical Ajax, is
bold in his denunciation of it, and the
Democrats and the rest of the Radicals
are divided among themselves upon it.
The meaning of the bill is simply to
take from the people of this District
the power and right of local self-gov
ernment, and have them governed by a
commission appointed by the President.
The most sensible expression of opin
ion I have heard, and that in private
circles, as to the cause the Democrats
should take in regard to this matter is,
that they should leave the Republican
party to settle it among themselves.
That party is responsible for that
truly deplorable state of things now ex
isting in this District, at which some of
the leaders, such as Morrill, now stand
aghast, and would flee if they could.
They should, therefore, be left to bring
forth, their own remedy in their own
way, that the iniquity of their meas
ures and policy in this matter, as in
the whole Reconsti action usurpations,
may be properly judged of by an
avenging people at the proper time.
The Democracy should, in no way, per
mit themselves to become connected
with these outrages by any sanction of
them of any sort. When they come
into power, and have the responsibility
upon them, as it is to be hoped they
will, it will be time euougli to indicate
the proper remedy when they are able
to apply it.
CIVIL EIGHTS.
It seems hard for the Radicals to de
termine what to do with the Civil
Rights bill. When I last wrote you
about it I thought that ere this some
thing of a definite nature would have
been done with it. White’s substitute
has been changed so as to force mixed
schools where a State does not provide
suitable separate schools for both
races. This change was made by an
amendment of Hoar, and I learn that
the substitute, as thus amended, will
be acted on at an early day.
THE SENSATION.
In the House last week was the pre
sentation of King Kalakaua (Kol-y-
Kow-ah). This event took place last
Friday at a quarter past twelve o’clock.
Long before that hour the galleries
were crowded to overflowing, and
every doorway opening into them filled
with people eager to witness the ap
proaching ceremonies. The old gentle
man who sat next to me, however, was
not so absorbed in other matters as to
cause him to forget or neglect to de
vote his attention to a piece of cran
berry pie which he held in his hand
and devoured with apparently as keen
a relish as King Killacowah’s grand
father ever brought to a repast of hu
man flesh. A little before the hour for
the King’s entrance the doors of the
House were opened to admit the Sena
tors, who came iu headed by Vice-
President Wilson, and were assigned
seats on the Democratic side, which I
was happy to interpret as a striking
evidence of the tendency of men and
things generally to the Democratic
side now. At the appointed time the
King was ushered in with due cere
mony aud presented to Speaker Blaine,
who received him in a short and appro
priate speech, which was replied to by
the King’s Chancellor and brother-in
law, a Mr. Allen, an enterprising Ver
mont Yankee, who carpet-bagged to the
Sandwich Islands years ago, and honey
fugled and bamboozled the sister of
Kolagoga (before he became King) into
marrying him.
The reasi n the King himself did not
respond was that he had a bad cold.
At least this was given as a reason.
His Royal Highness is a burly, well-fed,
sleek and greasy yellow fellow, and
from the way the perspiration oozed
through his oily skin I judged he felt
somewhat embarrassed during the
ceremony through which he was going.
He had a white handkerchief when he
entered the hall, but it was not so white
when ho made his exit, owing to the
free use he had made of it in wiping
his sweating brow. The to-do that has
been made over this mulatto fellow is
very ridiculous. Ben Butler must have
had a lively sense of its absurd ridi
culosity when, after the presentation
ceremonies, he turned to Hon. A. H.
Stephens and asked that gentleman if
he did not think it a very appropriate
time to take up the civil rights bill.
Accompanying the Senators who came
into the Representative Hall was the
Hen. R. M. Hunter, of Virgina, ex-
United States and ex-Confederate States
Senator.
THE CENTENNIALJteA PARTY,
of which I wrote you in a previous let
ter, was just the immensest affair of the
sort I ever saw. At an early hour in
the evening the floor of the vast ro
tunda of the Capitol seemed to be con
verted into a moving sea of human
forms. The rotunda was profusely de
corated with flags, and around it were
arranged thirteen tables, representing
the thirteen original States. Each one
was handsomely and appropriately de
corated, and attended by beautiful and
patriotic women, whose offers to be al
lowed to serve you with the tempting
delicacies, or the more substantial ar
ticles could not bo resisted. For a dollar
you could buy a cup of tea and keep
the cup aud saucer as a memento.
Each cup had the autograph of Wash
ington upon it.
Instead of tea I drank milk, said to
be from the grand-daughter of the cow
whose milk Washington himself used
to drink. The tables of the original
thirteen States had departments rep
resenting the rest of the States. Of
course I cannot go into a description
of each of them, but it was the general
verdict that the Georgia table was the
most attractive one among them, and
attended by the prettiest ladies. It
was covered by a temple of evergreens,
the pillars of which were adorned by
golden rice-sheaves and snowy cotton
poles and beautiful flower-wreaths.
m fciihj MWi
I The table representing South Carolina,
to which Florida was attached, was
prolific with the flowers, fruits and
products of those States. It was a
bazaar of loveliness. The dark-eyed
beauties who presided at it were fit
representatives of the Sunny South. I
have not yet learned to whom is due the
credit for making the Georgia table tbe
most charming one of the evening, but
I intend to find out aud let you know.
Among the ladies at this table was
Miss Edith Cash, who is considered by
perhaps a majority of the society folks
the belle of the Capital. The dresses
of the ladies were in keeping with the
period represented—a hundred years
ago. The powdered hair and faces,
with black patches, coquettish caps,
prudish ’kerchiefs and dainty aprons
were becoming to all. Some of the
dresses were two centuries old. The
scene was a blaze of beauty and inspi
ration, and the crowd so great that it
was with difficulty a way was opened
through it for the President and his
wife. It is estimated that eight thou
sand persons were in attendance. The
proceeds of the great party are to be
devoted to the Centennial Exhibition in
Philadelphia, in 1876.
GRANT AND THE KING.
I saw them both at the National
Theatre the other night, when the
opera of “ Mignon ” was played to a
crowded house by Clara Louise Kel
logg. The King and his attendants
came in fiist, and the band played and
the people clapped their hadds. The
King occupied the proscenium box on
the right of the stage. Pretty soon the
President and his wife came in and the
band played and the people clapped
their hauds again. The President and
his wife occupied the box on the left of
the stage. When the King first made
his appearancejhe didn’t have on gloves,
and bis royal saddle-colored hands
were displayed in all their bare beauty
to the gaze of the Republic’s capital.
But the sight didn’t last long, for soon
his majesty was seen to retire with one
of his attendants, whose attention had
no doubt been called to his Majesty’s
nakedness, and .when he reappeared,
his “ bonny brown hands ” were on
cased in spotless white kids. His Ma
jesty seemed to be slowly recovering
from a violent attack of the epizooty—
the disease which was fatal to so many of
the strongest horses of the couutr y tw< >
years since. His slightest cough re
sounded through the theatre with dis
mal distinctness. At the end of the
third act his majesty left his box and
graciously went to that filled by the
President and his family, consisting of
his wife, his son Fred and his son Fred’s
wife, nee Miss Ida Honore, a lady with
raven hair, glorious eyes, coral lips and
pearly teeth. The King shook hands
with Mrs. Fred and took the seat be
tween her and the President which Mr.
Fred had politely surrendered to him,
and after doing the best be could to
make himself agreeable for a few
minutes, returned to his own box. It
is a great strain on the President to do
the ceremonies, and I think he felt re
lieved when bis majesty left him alone
again witli Fred and Ida and Mrs.
President, who is a lady whose face and
manner impresses one with the belief
that if she were a Georgia housewife
instead of the lady of the White House,
she would always have early spring
chickens and a well-cared-for garden,
with forward vegetables. Gen. Sher
man was also a visitor to the Presi
dent’s box duriog the evening, and was
conspicuous for his polite attentions to
friends in the audience.
GEORGIA EDITORS IN THE CAPITAL.
The editorial fraternity of the Em
pire State of the South has had two
representatives here during the past
week—Col. I. W. Avery, of the Atlanta
Herald, and James R. Randall, of the
Constitutionalist. The latter ran down
to the capital from Baltimore, where
he was visiting, and took a look at the
President, King Killacow and Yinnie
Ream, who, by the way, has the bright
est of eyes and the smallest of hands.
In Baltimore, Col. R. is on his native
heath, and as the author of the famous
war poem, “ Maryland, My Maryland,”
his name is indissolubly connected
with that of the State of his nativity.
Col. Avery, on the Avenue, at the Cap
itol, or the opera, is the same irrepres
sible, irresistible ladies’ man as ever.
ADJOURNMENT.
Before. this reaches you, you will
have seen from the telegrams that
Congress will adjourn from to-morrow,
23d, till January sth. Members are
now drawing rnouey to take them home.
The winter has been the pleasantest,
perhaps, ever known here.
Richmond.
The Belles. —A celebrated Parisian
belle, who had acquired the habit of
whitewashing herself—so to speak—
from the soles of her feet to the roots
of iier hair with chemically-prepared
cosmetics, one day took a medicated
bath ; and on emerging from it, she
was horrified at finding herself as
black as an Ethiopian. The transform
ation was complete. Not a vestige of
the “ supreme Caucasian race ” was
left.. Her physician was sent for in
alarm and haste. On his arrival he
laughed immoderately, and said :
“ Madam, you are not ill; you are a
medical product. You are no longer a
woman, but a sulphuret. It is not now a
question of medical treatment, but of
simple ehemical reaction. I shall an
alyze you. Come ! I shall submit you
to a bath of sulphuric acid diluted with
water. The acid will have the honor
of combining with you ; it will take up
the sulphur, the metal will produce a
sulphate, and we shall find, as a pre
cipitate, a very pretty woman.”
The good-natured physician went
through with his analysis, and the
belle was restored to her membership
with the white race. Young ladies who
are ambitious of snowy complexions
should remember this, and be careful
what powders and cosmetics they use—
if they use any at all.
The Galveston News is in error when
it says that this paper has “ endeavored
to repress the pride of its city readers.’’
Every .subscriber is allowed as much
pride as he can stand up under, and
special inducements are offered to get
ters-ud of clubs.
[liouisville Courier-Journal.
At a competitive examination for a
prize for the best composition at a
grammer school in this city, one of the
effusions handed in contained the fol
lowing passage: “ A man who has
been born and bred in the lap of luxury
is more apt to succumb to bedbug
poison than the hardy pioneer of our
Western forests.”
When old Sam Crowder, down in
Pike, was running for Sustice of the
Peace, his wife, in anticipation of
!honors in store for her, said: “My
dear, when you get to be Justice of
the Pea?e, what will I be ?” “ You,”
said Sam, “why, you’ll be tho same old
fool you-always was.”

[Old and New.
On tlie Atlantic.
Fast through the stormy night,
Bright with phosphoric light,
The steamship glides.
High on the slippery ridge
Of the storm-beaten bridge,
The watch abides.
Deep in the hollow hold,
Safe from sleet and cold,-
Nestles warm life.
Vainly the savage wave
Outside the ship may lave,
Foaming in strife.
Half shrouded in the storm,
The iceberg’s awful form
In the oath lies.
What if, oefore the gale,
Some ship with straining sail
To meet us flies ?
Across the waste so stark,
Studded with dangers dark,
What power guides V
What but the living soul,
Without whose keen control,
Grim death betides.
Mighty the giant strength,
Driving the steamer’s length
Athwart the main;
Mightier the subtle power,
Of all life the flower,
Bound in man’s brain. E. C.

The Men Who Are Making Money in
Mining Stocks.
The sensation of the period is the
sudden and persistent rise in some of
the mining stocks on the board during
the past two weeks. The case of one
mine in Califoi’nia is particularly pro
minent, and bids fair to obtaiu a na
tional notoriety. The fortunate dealers
in the stock of this mine have, in in
stances which may be cited, realized
hundreds of thousands of dollars in a
single day. On the 2d of December,
1873, the stock sold for $lO per share,
aud was in very moderate demand.—
One day last week it sold for S2BO per
share on the street. Report says that
the mine stands strictly upon its own
merits. This phase of the case Ido
not propose to handle. The rise is
tangible, and its results ditto.
These I will briefly discuss. The
principal owners of the California mine
consist of five men, which include its
Superintendent, a shrewd and enter
prising gentleman, bearing the sugges
tive sobriquet of “ Slippery Jim.” Tho
leading figures in the quintet are
Messrs. Flood and O’Brien, who own
the controlling interest in several of
the best mines in Comstock ledge, and
who aspire to rule the affairs of the
ledge. A mining excitement in San
Francisco ordinarily possesses features
ol* little interest to the public abroad.
But in this case the rule is the excep
tion. The career of the men who have
reaped the richest reward from the ex
citement suggests an additional chapter
to the Arabian Nights’ Entertainments,
and is stranger than a vast majority of
the fairy tales peculiar to the Orient.
And it has withal a broad streak of the
practical.
Messrs. Flood and O’Brien com
menced the business of life as bar
keepers in New York City, and tbe sale
of liquors, by retail, engaged their ex
clusive attention in San Francisco for
a period of many years. Nor aid they
keep a large and showy establishment
and liquors of the finest brands. Their
saloon was of the groggery class ; not
a den, where the practice of abusing
people was a source of profit, but a
common saloon in a rickety building.
For many years the Flood and O’Brien
families were held fast in the galling
chains of poverty, so to speak, and
were decidedly obscure. Finally the
firm of Flood and O’Brien added note
shaving to the liquor business. Next
they dealt slightly in mining stocks,
and were successful in speculations.
Finally they secured a controlling in
terest in one of the leading mines by a
piece of allowable strategy, and from
this time, only six years since, they
have bounded forward on the tide of
prosperity. Before the rise in Califor
nia, Messrs. Flood & O’Brien were worth
$7,000,000 a piece. By that rise it is a
conceded fact that they have already
made at least $3,000,000 each. The
Eastern papers have discussed the
wealth of Senator Jones and Sharon,
prospective Senator, and considered
the acquisition of immense fortunes by
these gentlemen as a remarkable fact.
Flood & O’Brien could probably buy
Messrs. Jones and Sharon out, apd
have a surplus amount of cash on
hand. And the end is in the distant
future.
[Savannah Advertiser.
Memento of the Late War.
In 1864 Mr. Hill Goudy was a com
mission merchant in Atlanta, Ga. Mr.
Antoine Poullain claimed that he had
then deposited with Mr. Goudy 441
packages of tobacco, valued at $21,175,
•the same haviug been left with him to
be sold. It is further claimed that the
same was sold, and that no account of
the proceeds could be obtained. The
result was a suit at law, which came to
trial yesterday in this court. The de
fense was that the claim had been fully
adjusted and settled and all balances
due settled. Among the testimony
elicited was the following, the party
under examination being the defen
dant.
Q. In what shape did you receive the
proceeds for the sale of this tobacco ?
A. In Confederate money altogether;
we had no other currency.
Q. YVhar was the value of Confeder
ate money at this time as compared
with gold ? A. I canuot tell you ; Con
federate money was constantly depre
ciating all the time.
The defendants, at the conclusion of
the evidence, asked the court to direct
a verdict in their favor. This was ar
gued at some length, but finally ended
in a verdict to this effect being or
dered.
We take the above from the New
York Herald. The case is mis-stated
—that Mr. Goudy sued Mr. Poullain.
It is simply reversed. We congratu
late Mr. Poullain from being rid of this
troublesome matter.
The laws of Paris are so framed as
to constitute a strong persuasive to
honesty on the part of tradesmen.
Jewelers are obliged to distinguish
plated from genuine ware by the word
“ imitation ” placed where the custom
ers cannot fail of seeing it. If a grocer
is detected selling adulterated articles
lie Is heavily fined; his name and place
of business is published at his own ex
pense in the official journal, and he is
compelled to expose in his store, for a
specified time, a placard stating that
he has been fined for selling adulterated
goods.
“ Madam,” exclaimed a cross-grained
physician to a talkative patient, “if
women were admitted to paradise, their
tongues would soon convert it into pur
gatory.”
“ And some physicians,” retorted the
lady, “if allowed to practice there,
would soon convert it into a desert.”
