Volume 8.
WASHINGTON GOSSIP.
Correspondence Democrat)
Washixgton.D.C., April 11,1884.—
Daily the prospects of Democratic suc¬
cess in November grow brighter, the
fight in the Kepublican party over
men making it apparent, eveu from
their own standpoint that they have
not men or leaders in their party pos¬
sessed of sufficient intelligence, com¬
bined with personal and political mo
rality and houesty out of whicli to
make up a Presidential ticket. Repub¬
lican estimate of Republican leaders
as expressed by their leading papeis and
and their representative men here, is
sufficient to relegate the whole crowd
to oblivion, In fact if what is being
said of each other is true, hades is
hardly hot enough to burn out the
blackness and darkness of their chaiae
ters. It is this beautiful picturing of
each other by Republicans that causes
Democrats to take heart and once more
nnite to rescue the country from the
present corrupt party in power.
Leading men in tiie Democratic ini.ks
while ot course having personal prefer
euces, are advising that no combina
tions or attempts to influence the ac¬
tion of the convention to meet at Chi¬
i made until a er the.
cago, July 8, be
action of the Republican convention ot
Jnue 3 shall have done its wmk. One
mouth will be then left n which to
figure as t > the wisest nomination to
make an '■ t r »*n w ia>. s clem to select
Candidates. puera is a general, we say
a universal feeling among prominent
and leading Democrats to ignore per¬
sonal and local preferences in order to •
• unite upon a ticket to win, and with
either Arthur, Blaine or Logan as the
Republican nominee, there is more
than an even chance for Democratic
success.
Truth—but before we begin it may
be proper to remind the people that
Truth is a newspaper published in New
York city, the newspaper fhat printed
the forged “Morey letter” that was de¬
signed to defeat the election of the
late lamented President Garfield, and
ruin his reputation. Well, Truth still
exists, it mav also be necessary to re¬
mind your readers, and is an adminis¬
tration organ this year. Truth is on
the rampage. d-L.<setlar.es L. its mauy
paragraphed editorials, that Arthur has
been betrdyed, sold out and sat upon by
various fellows and classes. The office
bolders.the non-office holders, the Irish,
the negroes, the Catholics, the Bap¬
tists, the Methodists, tiie—well eveiy
body—has turned traiter to Arthur.
Even John O’Brien, and Jones of the
Times has gone back on him and for
this alleged treachery. Truth is for
war to the knife and the knife to the
hilt. These tilings are recited by your
correspondent for the reason that they
afford a good deal of amusement to
Democrats in Washington who daily
read the stuff doled out to the country
by the correspondents of the radical
journals relative to the entire harmony
in the Republican camp and the strife
existing in the Democratic ranks over
the tariff and other bills. Two cats
tied taU-to-tail and hung over a clothe
line would not be more fierce and bitter
in their scratchings and fightings than
will be the two factions of Adminis¬
tration and Anti-Administration Re¬
publicans after their nominations at
Chicago, unless a very great change
takes place in the party benveen now
and then. After the election in No¬
vember, Republicans will be looking
around in amazement, coupled with
bewilderment, wondering what struck
’am Mark our words.
Colonel Morrison, of Illinois, says his
horizontal tariff reduction bill will be
called up uext Tuesday and eventually
passed, and passed too, with less debate
and sooner than peo*,-.“ generally be
lieve. Congressman Payson, of the
same State as Morrison, is of a contra¬
ry opinion, and says that lie does not
believe that the bill will eveu be con¬
sidered by the House. “The Republi¬
cans will object to its esnsideration
and I believe that Mr. Randall and the
Democrats who think as he does will
do the same thing. If there are fifty
Demoera s opposed I do not think tha
bill will be brought up. It looks as ^if
Congress would have to sit until Aug¬
ust anyway if it takes up anv public
business now waiting for it, except the
amiropriation bills, and the tariff bill
would simply lengthen the session use
lessly.”
General Butler is in Washington. He
comes, it is said, to attend to some
court basiness, but will probably scan

Senator Vest made quite an elaborate
and able speech on the naval appropria
tion bill on Tuesday and Wednesday,
He opposed the construction of steel
cruisers, “commerce-destroyed,” and
urged the defense of our sea coast.
When asked by a Senator what remedy
he had to suggest in view of the situa
tion, lie replied : “The overwhelming
necessity in this country now
is the defense of our seaboard,
for to-day we are practically
at the mercy of the maritime
powers of Europe. I do not deny the
necessity for a navy, but I say that our
first duty to the people of the United
States is to defend the sea coast, and
we cannot do it with commerce-destrov
ers, with gunboats and steel cruisers of
4.000 tons and 4,500 tons burden. The
Senator asks me what to do. Take this
money out of the Treasury that to-day
js the fruitful source of all sorts of in
veutions for extravagance and even for
fraud, and build 1 ve first-class iron
clads that can face the ua*’ies of the
world and that can defend our sea
board both on the Atlantic and on the
Pacific. ’-Ve are wasting this money
day by day in the coustruetioa of naval
pleasure-boats and commerce-destroy
Cl’S. We have no commerce. Onr cit
iqs to-day are in the hands maritime
nation that chooses to attaeo them, and
vet Senators say that we must build a
navy when our seaboard itself is de¬
fenseless ! The remedy is in the ap¬
plication of the vast resources of the
people of the United States to the im¬
mediate necessity before them.”
Senator Mahone, with his wife and
daughter, have gone home to Peters¬
burg, Virginia. He is in very feeble
health, though he believes that with a
little tune and rest be will recuperate.
Prof.Salmon is to be sent to Maine by
the Agricultural Department to inves¬
tigate the alleged foot and mouth dis¬
ease among cattle there. This is a
propei move and one for the accom¬
plishment of which credit is due to
Congressman Reed.
Reports from Delaware, Maryland,

ABOUT CAN Si till POOD.
Savannah News.
Whether canned food is poisonous is
a question that is attracting some at¬
tention at present. At a meeting of
tiie Medico-Legal Society in New York
city last Thursday night, a paper was
read by Dr. J. G. Johnson, of BrooK
lyn, who stated that in March he at¬
tended a family of six persons who were
suffering from poison, and lie believed
they had been poisoned by eating to¬
matoes from a can, the lid of which
had been soldered on with muriatic
amalgam. The doctor;insisted that amal¬
gam of tins kind was extensively used
by firms putting up canned goods. The
inference from his remarks was that
this amalgam was very dangerous. He
gave quite a number of rules for detec¬
ting unwbole.-tome canned goods.
There were those present at the meet¬
ing who idenied |that muriatic acid
was dangerous when taken in such
small quantities as could possibly get
into the contents of cans from tiie sol¬
dering. If a suspicion g*-ts abroad, that
canned goods are un wholesome,the sale
of them, which is now enormous, will
rapidly fall off. There ought to be
such rigid laws with respect to canned
roods as to insure their whdesomeness.
People are beginning to be afraid to

A great many people feel themselves

and a pitched battle occurred, in whicli
over one hundred shots were fired. A
burglar named Breckman was killed,
and three other prisoners were wounded
and secured. The remainder escaped.
The jailer received dangerous injuries.
