JEft* * jSjUftbligfrti TUOS. It. I’KXN, : : Publisher. Gray Georgia, Saturday, April 71h. [Communicated.] 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 ... J , • . ITEMS OF INTEREST.
