Letter from Washington. Washington D.C., June 27tli. 1879. Senator Burnsiafe is not n learned man. and, as shown in his quarrel with , Conklin?, is not a ready man, but Ills late resolution concerning the construc tion of a shi|>canal across the Isthmus, by a foreign corporation under the con trol of foreign nations is a very proper and patriotic one. Just how to prevent such construction tinder such influence is a question to be solved, but the United States should lose no time in j declaring its position on the subject. The Senator should see that the Senate acts upon his resolution. It is as fol lows : “ Whertaa The people of this Union “ for fifty years have adhered to the “ Monroe ” doctrine, that the natives of “ the American continent, by the free '* and independent condition which they “have assumed and maintained, are “ henceforth not to be "Considered as “subjects for future occupation by any “ European poweV, 'therefore be it “ Pesolved, By the Senate and Holts' 1 “of Representatives that the people of ■“these States should not view without “ serious inquietude any attempt by “tire powers of Europe to establish ttn “ der their protection and domination. “ a ship canal across the Isthmus of “ Darien, and such action could not be “ regarded in any other light than as a “ manifestation of an unfriendly dispo “ sition towards the United States." Another resolution was introduced a few days ago bv one of the most intel ligent, pains-taking and conscientious men who ever sat in the Senate—Sena tor Beck, of Ivy. It proposes an in vestigation into the subject of Govern ment revenues and the manner in which the departments are carried on. Those who have given any thought to the sub ject know that immense sums, are an nually wasted, not only through the imperfection of our methods of collec tion, but through the inefficiency of those holding position, and that in sev eral of the departments there are double the number of employees, at latge salaries that are necessary.

MARK THESE FACTS! The TESTIMONY of the WHOLE WORLD. HOLLOWAY’S OINTMENT. Bad Legs. Bad Breasts, Sores and Ulcers. All d©Hcription of sores are remedial by the proper ami diligent use of this inestimable preparation. To attempt to cure bad legs by plastering the edges of the wound together is a folly ; for should the skin unite, a boggy diseased condition remains under neath to break out with tenfold fury iu a few days. The only rational and successful treatment, as indi cated bv nature, is to reduce the inti animation in and about tlie wound and to soothe the neighboring parts by rubbing iu plenty of the Ointment, as salt is forc ed into meat. This w ill cause the malignant humors to be drained off from the hard, swollen, and discol ored parts round about the wound, sore, or ulcer, and when tlu se humors b-.o removed, the wounds themselves will soon heal ; warm bread and water poultices applied over the affected parts, after the Ointment has been well rubbed in, will soothe and soften the same ajul greatly assist the cure. There is a description of ulcer, sore and swelling, which need not be named here, attendant ujtod the follies of youth, and for which this Ointment is urgently recommended as a sovereign remedy. In curing such poisonous sores it never fails to restore the sys tem to a healthy state if the Tills be taken according to the printed Instructions. Diphtheria, Ulcerated Sore Throat Scar let and other Fevers. Any of the above diseases inay be eured by well rubbfnc the Ointment three timed a day into the cheat, throat, an 1 neck of the patient: it will soon penetrate and (jive immediate relief. Medicine taken by the mouth mudt operate upon the whole uvatem ere its influence can be felt in any local part, whereas the Ointment will do its work at once. Whoever tries the unguent in the above manner for the die eased named, or any aimilar disorders affecting the chest ami throat, will And themselves relieved as by a charm. All sufferers troin these complaints should envelop the throat at bedtime in a large bread and water poultice, after the Ointment has been well rubbed in ; it will greatly assist the cure of the throat and chest. To allay the fever and lessen the inflammation, eight or ten Pills should he taken night and morning. The Ointment will produce per apical ion. the grand essential in all eases of fevers, sore throats, or where there might be an oppression of the chest, either from asthma or other causes. Piles, Fistulas, Strictures. The above class of complaints will be removed by nightly fomenting the parts with warm water, and then by most effectually rubbing In the Ointment. Persons suffering trom these direful complaints should lose not a moment in arresting their progress. It should he understood that it is not sufficient mere ly to smear the Ointment on the affected parts, hut it must be well rubbed in fur a considerable time two or three times a day. that it may bo taken into the system, whence it will remove any hidden sore or wound as effectually as though palpable to the eye. There again bread and water poultices, after the rub bing in of the Ointment, will do great service. This is the only sure treatment for females, cases of can cer in the stomach, or where there may be a general bearing down Sores and Ulcers. Blotches, as also swellings, can, with certainty, he radically cured if the Ointment lie used freely. *u'l the Pill's taken nijtht anil mornin". as recomnienile.il in the printed instructions.

Dropsical Swellings, Paralysis and Stiff Joints- Although the above complaints differ widely in their origin and nature, yet they all require local treatment. Many of the worst cases of such dis eases will yield in a comparatively short space of time when' this Ointment js diligently rubbed into the parts affected, even after every other means have failed.

On Saturday last we visited the town of Anderson for the first time since we left there three years ago. We were greatly astonished at the many changes ami im provements that have taken place, and will say in tho beginning that this dear old town ol our boyhood is the prettiest in that State. We noticed quite a number of new buildings that have gone up. several in process of construction, and prepara tion for building others. They have re cently built anew tnarket-house. which is neat and pretty. Some iden of its appear ance may he inferred from what a farmer said when ho first saw it : “ Is that the new Presbyterian Church von folks have bean minting so much about?” We were a little curious about the Chureh ourself, so we went around to see it. The brick work is well under wav, and from present appearances it will be an imposing edifice. Ft will have a basement story for Sunday school purposes. The building will cost five or six thousand dollars. We were in formed that the foundation of the Catholic Church is being dug. and the congregation hope to have it finished at an early day. An derson will then have five churches. Thev ought to he good people. A storehouse is being built on the square, west of the Masonic Hall, of wood—a had idea. The old building at McCnlly’s corner, which has been an eye sore for a number of years, is to he torn away and a large brick build ing erected in its stead—a good idea. The enterprising firm of Moss & Brown are enlarging store No. 1. and are preparing to build clean out to the railroad cut. and it won't be long before they will build one across the cut. Go it. Aunt Sally, while you're young! Up Pendleton road new and elegant residences meet the eye on all sides and in fact the town is spread ing itself. We met many old friends, hut didn't get half wav round—like the little man hugging his big wife, we will have to chalk and begin again. But the spirit of enterprise and improvement does not end in the town, we saw abundant evidences all through the country. We saw many elegant dwellings, some of brick, and the idea seems to make home comfortable and attractive. The Prcvost building, just out side of town, is a beautiful specimen of architectural skill. And J. N. Byrum— vou all know Joe—has put a big brick building on the old homestead. We prom ised Joe to call as we came by. but found it impossible to do so. Joe is energetic, and one of the clevevest Byrums in the world—which is saying a groat deal. The farms along both the upper and lower routes are clean looking and thrifty. Rain is badly needed. Everybody we conversed with were enthusiastic in their praises of tho stock law—including men and women, and negroes. One gentleman thought i worth a hundred thousand dollars a year to the country. It looks strange, how ever. to one not accustomed to it to see. the growing crops without enclosures. We crossed at Brown's Ferry, and met Luther, who looked as lazy ns a mud tur tle. which is a sign of an easy conscience. The wire across the river is vorv conven ient and precludes all possibility of dan ger. When we stepped on Georgia's fair and lovely shore, we looked to see if the little Palmetto State would rise any. but it didn't—but we had on our summer clothing. This is omega. To (lie Stewards ami Members of Hie M. E. liurcti In tile Hartwell Circuit. The third quarterly meeting will be on hand soon, which will be held at Be thesda during the district meeting on the 3d Sunday in July. 1 have the Church records for the Cir cuit. and know exactly the amount paid the present year to Brother Farris, and know that amount is very small—less than usual. Brother Farris has been afflicted with a painful wound and confined to his room for a month. In the meantime Sister Farris and other members of his family have been sick. He is not able to go out and procure the necessities of his family. The Circuit owes him. and it is the duty of every mem ber of the Board, as well as each member of the Church to turn out at once and get up the amount they can, either in money, provisions or horse food, and turn it over. Remember. Brethren, you owe this to Brother Farris and his family the same as if they had labored for you in the secular affairs of life. It is due them, and you are obliged to acknowledge the justness of the claim. Brethren, do not neglect this duty, but come forward at once. Bring on your money, meat. Hour, corn or oats. Brother Farris is a modest man. He has not and will not complain. He would suf fer first. Hence, it is the more our duty to see that he is provided for in his afflic tions. I shall be absent in Atlanta for some time to come, and cannot do much in this matter, but 1 believe you. brethren, when informed of the pressing duty, will all take a pleasure in attending to it at once.

If such is the case, which is not very doubtful, any change made to the dam to give the fish better access will be of little effect in ben etitting fish culture in the upper Savannah. \V e hope the next Legislature will devise some plan by which the obst uctions in the main channel of the river may be removed and the channel controlled.

On last Saturday a Magistrate convened his court, sounded a case, called the jury when a juror was found to be absent. Of course this did not stop the business. The court went through its labors for tho day. After court a couple of attorneys, having business half a mile above the law ground went on foot. On the roadside, in the vi cinity where the court was held before, they saw a man sitting firmly against a tree, with a wearied and impatient look, but brightening up a little he cried out : “Hello.' gentleman, you’ve had a Dng and tedious walk this morning from Hartwell.” *• No, sir, we rode,” said one of the advo cates; •• what are you doing here?” “ 1 am on tho jury.” Well,” said the oth er. ’’gentleman of the jury, you can re tire and make up vour verdict.” It might bo well for Justices to give notice through the paper when they change court grotiiuls. Col. John T. Sloan. Sr., and lady of Columbia. S. C., have been spending a few days in our town with relatives. Col. Sloan was Clerk of tho S. C. House of Representatives for fonrteen years, until the Radicals got in power, and lias been the Clerk ever since the Democrats came in again. He is very popular, and has always had tho reputation of being one of the best officers in tho State. Forty-five years ago Col. Sloan made us iv present of the first horseflesh we ever owned, in the shapaof an Indian ponv. black as a crow, and about the size of a Newfoundland dog. Said pony beat every horse, big or little, that was ever raced against him in pacing. Our old friend Henry Clark took the pony to Augusta to get up a race but could find no one who would pace against him. One gentleman offered to bet him a hundred dollars his mule could run fa-ter than the pony could pace. Henry took the bet and the mule beat him just a lectlc. But Henry had his wagon which he loaded up. and in Roper’s lane, m Abhevillecounty, swapped horses 17 times, and mnde back the hun dred dollars. The mud in the lane was knee deep, and he made a contract with a negro to pay him 50 cents for untying his hamestrings when swapping—the negro earned his money. Henry, some years after, got religion under old Jimmy Dan nielly's preaching at Sandy Springs camp meeting. and thirty years ago we signed half a scholar to tiie same denomination, and if we ever have the good luck to meet the old man in that better land we guess we will have a laugh over that Augusta race.

A certain lawyer agreed to go with the tax-receiver. On their way to the house, the lawyer wanted to know if it would be proper and right to ask the min ister to have prayers. The lax-receiver thought it would, lint thought it would be a delicate task to broach the subject. They were undecided about tho matter when they reached the house. After conversing pleasantly with the sick preacher, the tax receiver said to him. " SVell. I suppose I must qualify you before you give in your returns.” The lawyer did not hear what the tax-receiver said, and when the preach er ruixjd his right hand on high, gently slid down on his knees and buried his face in his hand, supposing the preacher, was going to pray. Imagine his feelings when ho realized that the preacher was giving in his tax returns. The lawyer now affirms most solemnly that he just got down on the floor to find a pin that he dropped. !I.

Mirter Eoiteii: I eo now-a-dmy* a feller can't go a hen scratch from home, but what he has to rite to some newspaper. I never knowed much about papers till Tiie llartwku. Sun was started out. Little Bill Hollin and some others got at me to take it, and aaid I ought to encour age the enterprise, ns a county that had no newsp*|er want worth hell room ; and I do believe your paper has done a great deal for the county. 1 paid a visit to El berton not long atneo —tho first time for over twenty years. They are mightily ex cited there over their railroad and appear to think that will soon be the center of creation, but yon know. Mr. Editer. that Hartw ell is just three miles from the (.’en ter of the Vi or'd. But they are doing a xmashin' business there, and no mixtako. I heard 'em talking about establishing a wooden foundry and a brass and iron tner chine shop. I heard one crowd talking about a kanal. 1 couldn't git the hang of it exactly but I heard 'em say something about Banoiama. but I think they will find it harder to git a kanal from there than it was to git the railroad, and I think they will have to be rigid lively to get that Pan crania kanal running in time to take off this year's crap. 1 heard one man say they coiild'nt do without a operar house. I don't know what that is. but s'pose it is some kind of a warehouse to keep bacon and sich in. as I heard a nigger say Marso Tom made a hundred thousand dollars last winter selling bacon for 5 cents that cost him 5j cents, and if they had have had an operar house he could have made a fortune. I found out one thing, soiuu of the old solid citizens was mighty oneasy about vnller fever and colery. which they expect the kars will fetch in during the summer months. If you git your Hartwell road done this fall there will he a good opening for some speculator to aliip chincapms to Elherton. I think there is thousands in it. I have always hcarn that the Elberton lawyers took tlveir fees every year at Sep tember term in this county in chiucapins. When 1 go down thnr agin, I will keep my eyes, years and mouth open and rite to you agin. K. iv. Kill and Stephens Friends Again. Wnihiiigton Cor. Aujiuta Chronicle. Your thousands of readers will he pleas ed to know that there lias been reconcile ment between Senator Hill and Hon. A. 11. Stephens. A friend of both gentlemen has, from time to time, conveyed between the two some very laudatory expressions. Mr. Stephens has spoken in the most praise worthy way of Mr. Hill's recent speeches, and these eulogies were made known to to that gentleman. Moved by this, Mr. Hill, the other day. happened to be in the House, approached Mr. Stephens, shook him by the hand, and addressed him with great cordiality—a cordiality that I need not say, was most warmly returned by Mr. Stephens. They had not spoken to each other before in five years, iam satisfied that no malice meanwhile was borne on either side, and I know that neither de sires ever again to disturb this most grati fying return ol friendship. I believe, too, that this reconcilement could have been accomplished long ago, had any man. on excellent terms with both statesmen, had the tact to bring it about. As it is, an humble instrument in tho hands of Provi dence paved the way for a good action that speaks louder than words. \Vtreat sells lu llar twcli at $1 per bushel. TUTTS PILLS! INTRODUCED, 1665.
