' W*. GRIME*, Ordinary. Sept 23] 15S^ Editorial Correspoadeoee- Washington. D. C., Dec 8,1884: I arrived here last Tuesday night at 11 o’clock, having made the trip from Bainbridge in 36 hours. I took the Coast Line Route, as follows: Bainbridge to Savannah, Savannah to Charles ton, Charleston to Wilmington, Wilmington to Weldon, Weldon to Petersburg, Petersburg to Rich mond, Richmond to Washington via Fredericksburg and Quantico. On this route you pass over eight separate railroads; aud while the tracks of them all are smooth and firm, and the cars are Bice, neat and elegunt, it is my deliberate opinion that none of these roads can compare with the Savannah, Florida and Western for speed, comfort and elegance. From Weldc ji to Washington this trip was one of great interest to me. I had not been along the route since the war, and almost every mile of the country recalled vividly to my mind some incident of the struggle. Petersburg is a growing city, and Richmond sits as proudly upon her many hills as when the Confederate flag wav ed over her. Fredericksburg looks about like it did on that morning when “the great Burnside, with his poontoon bridges tried,” at tempted to “on to Richmond” from that quarter. The railroad passes through the battle ground, entering at Hamilton station, about six miles below Fredericks burg. The Fredericksburg passen ger station is not far from Mayries Heights, in front of which Burn side lost in killed alone over 1000 men. By the way, I passed through on the anniversary of the battle. Arriving in Washington my mind needed no promptings to revert to that April day in 1865, the first and only time I had ever seen the capitol of the nation— (everybody here says “nation” and spell it with a big N)—and then entered its corporate limits as a prisoner of war. It was the 14lh day of that eventful month, and that night President Lincoln was assassinated at Ford’s theatre by John Wilkes Booth. Twenty years has made great changes in the appearance of the Federal City. Then the population was about 65.000; now it is over 150.- 000. Washington is said to be the handsomest city in the world. Great travellers say that even Brussels and Fontainbleau do not compare with it.But I have not time just now to enlarge on this subject, and will have to devote a future letter specially to it. There is not much doing in the two house of Congress. I looked in on the Senate the other day. Mr. Edmunds was in the chair. Juo. Sherman, the unmagnetic, the cold and freezing statesman from Ohio, and of Eliza Pinkston frag rance, had the floor. John A. Logan washoDping around among the Senators, apparently in the best ol spirits. Senator Logan is not a ba’d looking man—his photo graphs do liitr injustice. He has conducted himself in a most credi table and manly way since his. defeat, and thereby has raised himself in the public estimation Senator Bayard is a prominent fig ure in the Senate Chamber. Senator Brown has not yet arrived. Ma- hone is down at Norfolk a ttend- ing the court befo r e which he has some railroad cases. The House or Representatives presented a decidedly dull ap pearance last week. Mr. Ander son, a red-headed light from K an- sas, made the only “set speech” of the week. It was on the Inter- State commerce Bill. None of i the members appeared to pay the slightest attention to him, nor did he seem to care. The cap stone of the Washing ton Monument was placed in position last Saturday, and this grand statue is, you might say complete. It was begun in 1848 and the corner-stone was laid by President Polk. It will be dedi catcd on the 22ndofJFebmary next and Hon. Robert C. Winthrop, of Massachusetts will deliver the address. He is the same who de- liveied the address at the laying of the corner stone in 1848: The monument is the highest in the world, the flag on the top of which floats 600 feet from the ground. Washington is, ot course, full of strangers. The office-s eeking brigade is out in full force, and all are hungry. Great specula tions are ripe as to what Cleveland will do, but the general opinion is that he will do pretty much as he pleases. Dr. J. G. Thomas, died here Saturday morning of pneumonia He had been in the city about ten days previous to his demise. In his. death Georgia has lost one of her foremost citizens, and, the Medical profession one of bright est intellects. To Savannah where he was so well-known, and where his services were so distinguished, his death is a calamity indeed. B. E. R. The Southiand the Cabinet. There appears to be a very general desire among the politi cians of the North to know what representation in the Cabinet the South will claim. The matter is the subject of a good deal of speculation. The fact that the South contributed far more than the North to Mr. Cleveland’s elec tion is generally recognized, but whether there will be a general willingness to accord to the South all she is entitled to is a question yet undetermined. It is certain that the South will not show a greedy disposition. It is fair to presume, however, that she will ask for simple justice. There are those, doubtless, who will insist that she ought to take a back seat, and accept gratefully whatever may be offered her. She has been imposed on so often, how ever, in that way, and has submit ted without a murmur, that it is probable that a point has been reached when she will object to any further treatment of that kind. The time has passed when it can be urged with any degree ot force that the prominence of the South in the government can be construed to the disadvantage of the Democratic party. That argument was used for all that it was worth by the Republi cans in the late campaign, and the people decided that it was a demagogical argument, and that the government would be just as safe in Southern as in Northern hands. If the late election set tled the question whether any further discrimination is to be made against the South in the management of the government, that question Was settled in the negative. There are to be found in th e South as able and as patriotic men as there are in any other section of the country. With Southern men among the President’s advis ers and with Southern men prom inent inj the leading committees of the House, the people will feel certain of an honest and an eco nomical administration of nation al affairs. Public men of the South are, as a rule, poor. They are compelled to cultivate habits of economy. These habits are certain to have their influence wherever Southern men are en trusted with power.—Savannah News. And our contemporary might have added that this power should embrace all federal appointments to be filled in the South, and their full quota of foreign appoint ments. We are glad to see the Southern press awaking to lhe importance of the assertion of their rights in this regard. We have nothing to gain by a fawning policy, but everything to lose; manhood, self esteem and the respect of all the world. “There! that explains where my clothes-line went to!” exclaimed an Ohio woman as she found her feiub&nd banging in the liable. Kit Warreii. REMARKS TO THE DEPARTING ANIMALS OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. The foreign is nearly over, the clouds break. Streams of sun shine play upon the hilltops, the waters of the flood are abating, and, on the 4th of next March, the Ark may be expected to reach Ararat and begin to unload. Whether the animals will march out, or rollout, or tumble out, or fly out, like a swarm of angry hornets; or whether the old ves sel will be careened, so as to spill them all in one promiscuous lump, are things which I don’t seem to care. Sufficient unto me is the fact that they will go hence, and the places that now know them will know them no more. When Satan left the skies and started on his down grade excur sion, John Milton, who was pres ent, took his valedictory observa tion in short hand, aud farewell address ©f tho out-bound throng, for these animals, like those of Esop have speech and understand ing. Sad i9 the fate of this friend less, shelterless, shivering gang. No more can they huddle togeth er in sweet communion, comfort ably “pigging—heads and tails.” No more can the strong walls and the embricated roof of the ark pro tect them from frowning skies and angry element!. No more can a surfeit of corn, out ot the public commissariat, be orammed and crowded into their craving] stomachs. Scattered, disbanded, disinte grated, disentangled, disunited aud dismissed, they go forth to in hale the foul loathsome stench of rottenness and corruption, left by the subsidence of their reign. And some will roam the land and some will climb trees and some will burrow in the ground and many—dreadful thought—many will feed upon the husks that the swine do eat. And there will be mourning and lamentation and weeping and wailing and gnash ing of teeth and smffishing of gums, world without end. And oh! how the animals will hunger for the flesh pots they have left, and pine for the joys they have tasted and curse the land they have cursed ! But the stern duty of this mel ancholy occasion is to kiss my hand and with a few melting words, waft them a sweet “bye- bye.” Animals, adieu. Your beloved country has sot square’ down on you. You go forth lonesome, de jected, deserted. You are marked with the necessary crops and un derlets to show you have the mark of Cain. Victims of Adversity, football, of Fate children of Misfortune, heed my few and earnest words of motherly admonition. Don’t grieve over spilt milk or waste unnecessary regrets because you we:e not permitted to milk the cow dry. The decree is against you, and what can’t be cured must be endured. You are obliged to stand it; you are obliged to grin and bear it. Unfilial murmurs at the decision of your country, will be fruitless and improper. Ani mals, be strong in this hour of gloom and calamity. K«ep stiff necks and stiff npper-lips. and store your gizzards with a plenti ful supply ot sand. Go to work and earn your livings by the pers piration of your own sweat. Get new homes and new consciences and multiply and replenish a breed of good characters. Let your morals be better than your im- morals, and your conduct better than your misconduct. When ordered to march don’t grumble and pout and pull back, but move forward, head up and tail tantamount, and stand not upon the order of your going. Your road will be rough, but con sole yourselves with the recollec tion that it is a rough set who are to travel it. Horrors inexpressible chill my [ soul as I take in the perspective. From this great ark, whose dimen sions embrace the country, me- thinks I witness at every point your solemn and melancholy event. Fat and; full as you^go jostling out, your protruding stomachs stand forth like mounds erected to mark and hallow, the last resting place cf a Jong line of plumed knights of the poultry yard. Panting, blubbering* ‘breath ing out threatenings'tahd Yen- gence,”,I seem to l*ehoM _y©n 'as you toddle along—going, going, gone. Torchjlights’are ^exchang ed for funeral tapers. Punde- monium^wears crape and the ex odus of your throng is the geneaii of a political milennium. Animals once more adieu, your time is at hand. Eat, drink and be merry, ior to-morrow you git. And whether you go,(and how you’l fare. Nobody’ll know and nobody’ll care. Mr. Harris’ bill to establish a school of technology ought to passed by the Legislature. jgjlThe Republicans have failed’W deal 4 with it successfully, and it now remains to be seen with what success the Democrats will meet it Whenever a minister preaches a sermon that pleases the whole congregation, in nine cases out of ten he he has preached a sermon that the Lord wont indorse. The New York Herald wants Conkling in the Senate. It says that he is vaih as a peacock, but wise as an owl and necessary tti the country, The man who registered a vow that he woul never have his hair cut uutil Blaine was elected President is seriously thinking- adout going West to bribe an In dian to scalp him. The city of Elmira, N Y, boasts of a combination that no other city in the United States 1 has,an icerink and roller skating rink combined, the two buildings covering about four acres of ground. It is expected that a desperate effort will be made this winter to finish np the work of the census of 1880. If it took as tong to count up a national vote as it does to tabulate a national census a presi dent would serve out his term be fore being officially informed of his election. Six miles from Eastman, Mrs’ Nancy Rogers, a widow, who did the washing and milking for Mr Mullis’ family, made this year, on a one-horse farm, nine and a half bales of cotton, averaging a little more than 500 pounds to the bale,* 120 bushles corn, two stacks fodder,- besides a quantity Of peas and potatoes Mrs Rogers did the plow ing berself with an eighteen-year- old-horse, while her sixteen-year old-son did the hoeing—this being only help during the making and housing of the crops, with the ex ception of another little daughter only nine years ot age, who helped to pick out the cotton. £>he did not hire a. day'V wort- Bill Ney’s advice to parents^ Do not constantly tell your boy “how tall” he is—that lie “growtf like a weed”—and finally make him think he is a giraffe. II you 1 keep it up you will finally maker a round-shouldered, awkward,- bashful bean-pole If every tall boy in this country will agree t& lick every wooden-headed man who tells him “how he does grow, ,f I will agree to hold the coat of said tall boy.
