UNION & RECORDER. [Baldwin county. Washington Letter, From Our Regular Correspondent. Washington, Nov. 20, 1886. Editor Union-Recorder: This is one of the busiest weeks of the year in Washington. Congress will be here in one week, and every body must be ready for it from the President to the boarding-house keeper. The President’s message is receiving its last course of condensa tion and revision. Cabinet officers are performing similar work on their annual reports, and their Assistants of the First, Second, Third and Fourth degrees, with several hun dred Bureau Chiefs, Comptrollers, Auditors and officers too numerous to mention, are arranging their figures and plodding over long tables of sta tistics. The streets of the city are again alive with a busy, bustling throng and up at the long deserted Capitol, Chairman Randall, with a quorum of his committee, has for a week been pressing work on Appropriation bills. He reports fine progress, and says Congress will not have to wait on him for money bills. During the week he has had in consultation, the heads of different Bureaus and Government establishments, with regard to the needs of their respective departments for the next year. Among these were Prof. Baird of the National Museum, Smithsonian and Fish Commission; Superintendent Thorne of the Coast Survey; Dr. Godding of the Govern ment Insane Asylum; Col. Wilson of public buildings and grounds and others. The improved condition of the Gov ernment service under Democratic Administration has been mentioned repeatedly, but now instances of re^ form are continually making them selves felt, which deserve especial no tice. The President probably never made a happier stroke of public poli cy than when he called Mr. Benedict here to be Public Printer. In the period of three months the notorious ly demoralized Government Printing office has been put in such order that about one-third more work is now be ing done with the same amount of money, and the press room which three months ago had 400 forms wait ing for the press is now clear, having “caught up.” It is too bad the President cannot be left in peace and quiet with his modest little country home. As soon as the real estate dealers of Washing ton knew of his intention to buy this place they secured as mueh ground in the vicinity as possible and ever since they have been using the Pres ident's name in the most liberal man ner in connection with all sorts of schemes they have organized for im provements at the public expense. Of course the President has been in no way concerned in those maneuv- but rumors to that effect cannot Bailiffs Sale. GEORGIA, Baldwin County.

Nov. 1st, 1886. 17 tds. Holiday Presents! superb stock of goods, of valuable and useful W ers, but be annoying to him. Almost every day the President or Col. Lamont is forced to say there is not a word of truth in some reports about the President. The Colonel’s latest denial, which is very emphatic, is in regard to an investigation which it is alleged the President is conduct ing by means of a private detective to find out if any of the District Com missioners are interested in real es tate along the line of the proposed extension of Massachusetts Avenue. The Secretary adds that the Presi dent had his hands full of his own legitimate duties and did not care to interfere with outside matters. Some of the statements telegraphed from this city in connection with the police scandal, alleging demoralization and rottenness in District affairs and universal dissatisfaction with the comuiissionership form of Govern ment, are quite untrue. And people of the District feel that the present Commissioners are honest and reliable, and that any errors they may commit are purely those of judgment. The tax-paying people especially know when they are well off, and they have no desire to ex change the present government rule and government backing in District expenses for the boon of suffrage. Speaking of the Police scandal, certain members of Congress have expressed their opinion that Con gress will not ask to have the matter investigated. “We can take no no tice of it officially,” said Representa tive Snowden, “for no Congressman has been individually aspersed or in jured, and whoever demanded an in vestigation would be considered as putting himself on the defensive and confessing his guilt.” But now since so many police officers have been pun ished and dismissed, it is said they will appeal for redress to the PresiJ dent, and in case he declines to give the subject attention, they will ask Congress to hefp them. Congress would not give any more publicity to the subject, but would dive into it secretly through the Ap propriations Committee 1 * when the question of appropriating money for the District would come up. The Congressmen who were to have been subjected to police espionage would not then be publicly arrayed, and yet the investigation could be as thorough as necessary.
