Washington, D. March 31.
Washington, which at all times
during the sessions of Congress is
astir and furnishing more news to
the reading world than any other
city in this country, has been unusu
ally btisk during the past week and
newspaper correspondents have not
been without an abundance of sub
jects to write about.
The funeral of the late Chief-Jus
tice Waites on Wednesday occasion
ed a grand display on the part of
those who have money, fine clothes
and handsome vehicles. Long be
fore the hour of twelve, groat
crowds hud congregated about the
Capitol, waiting to get a look at the
funeral procession and view the
casket containing the remains of
Uu* man who for fourteen years had
held the highest judicial position in
lhe world. At last the procession
arrived, and u great one it was, too.
Slowly the casket was removed
from the hearse by a number of
strong colored men, who, followed
by the associate justices of the Su
preme Court, acting us pall-hearers,
bore the remains into the hull of the
House of Representatives, where the
funeral services were held, after
which the remains of the dead
Chief-Justice were shipped to Ohio,
his former home, and buried.
Tho International Council of
Women attracted large audiences,
notwithstanding the fact that an ad
mi si ion fee was charged. Somo of
the papers read by tho delegates
showed unmistakable signs of abili
ty on the part of ihe authors.
However mu< h men may dislike to
sec women “dabble in politics,” the
fact cannot be denied that the wo
man's suffragists are making con
siderable progress in their work, as
more than one Elate now allows
them tho privilege of voting in some
of their elections.
Tho speech of Senator Colquitt
continues to be a popular theme oi
convcisiition here as well as else'
whore; and, judging Irom tho large
numbers ol copies that have boon
ordered by Democratic loaders in
doubtful states, it is quite likely
1 bat Ibis great effort of Georgia’s
junior Senator will lie an important
campaign document, next fall.
A I! Georgians, and especially
those living ui the sixth Congres
sional District, who visit Washing
ton, cannot help but feel proud at
the high position and prominence
that Hon. J. II Blount occupies here.
Few men in Congress have so much
mfliiened as does Mr. Blount; and,
if mien a thing ho possible, ho a|
pears to bo as popular here as at
home, it is hardly probable that
any effort will bo made to defeat
Mr. Blount at the next Democratic
non inating convention, for the hold
he has on Congress would not like
ly be attained by another in twenty
years.
There are many places of interest
to visit in Washington, but tow
more so than the National Museum.
I lore you can spend hours looking
at anything from (he smallest stone
to a good sized vessel, I : pon first
entering you are met wit h acollee
tion of relies belonging to the late la
mented George Washington. Among
the collection maybe found his easy
chair, a microscope and the suit
clothes ho wore when surrending
bis commission to Congress us gen
eral of the Army of the United
States, The clothes, which are
still ill a good state of preservation
indicate that the Father of his
country knew how to dress neatly.
Just beyond the collodion
Washington can be seen some of the
personal elb-cts of Andrew Jackson,
his sword, pistol case, etc. Posted
up conspienonsly in a glass case,
and printed on satin, is a copy of his
famous nullification message to
South Carolina.
Just to the left of these is a print
ing press once used by Ben jamin
Franklin. It 1, seems , to have , woiked ,
on the same principle as a hand cot
ton t-ress. Although rather roii'^h
in appearance, it too is delicately
juelosed -
in a glass ease
