WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington, D, C., May 28 —The
results* ot the meeting of the New
Yoik Democratic State Committee at
Albany, X. Y. this week, are being
discussed very freely at the Capitol,
and it is generally agreed that ilk
seeming endorsement by the commit
tee of the nomination of the “oh
ticket,” was occasioned by the desire
on the part of both the Cleveland
and Flower men that they were the
special fiiends and advocates of Gov
ernor Tilden. Roth factions beiieve
that Mr. Tilden will not lie a candi
date and each desires to fall heir to
the votes lie cell transfer. It may be
dearly stated that while the fraud of
1876 can never he forgotten, and
thousands think it but just that Mr.
Tilden should be placed in the Presi
dential chair, each day now reduces
the number of those who ask for a re
nomination of the old ticket, as it be
comes more and more apparent, that
even if elected, Mr. Tilden could not
perform the duties of the office, and
the election of the old ticket would
realiy mean the election of Hendricks
to the Piesidency. Prominent Demo
crats taking this view of the case fa
vor the nomination by the convention
of some younger, more active and
progressive man. In fact, leading
men in the party here are outspoken
against the nomination of the old
ticket, ;Aid assert that the statements
made at the New York convention,
that tlie South called for or demanded
the nomination of Tilden and Hen
dricks is entirely erroneous. The
shrewdest men in the party here as
sert that with Roswell P. Flower, a
live, vigorous, eaergei in representative
of true Democracy, an aggiessive can
vass could be waged and some enthu
siasm aroused.
Said a prominent Democrat from
South Carolina, “It is too late to run
a campaign on sympathy or to light
the wrongs of individuals. The cam
paign must be run on principle and
with men as standard bearers who
have blood enough in them to
cany out the great reforms necessary
to bring the government back to its
oiiginal purity. The rings, the
cliques, the cormorants and monopo
lists must be put down and the rights
of the people restored.”
It is likely that Mr. Hewitt’s tariff
bill, or at least a portion thereof will
be brought before the House this ses
sion for consideration. The Ways
and Means Committee have under con
sulerat'oii that portion of the bill
which explains the present tariff aw,
and members of the committee state
that they will go no farthei ; that is,
that no consideration will be given to
that part of Mr. Hewitt’s bill which
relates to the reduction of the tariff.
Members who had prepared speeches
on the tariff question and who could
not get an opportunity to deliver
them, or obtain “permission to print”
them in the Congressional Record will
yet have an opportunity to spied theii
wisdom on this branch of the science
ot political economy befoie their con
stituents.
Washington has had its sensation
his week in the disappearance of Geo.
H. Levis, an alleged oil broker, who
has been doing business in the build
ing 629 F street, just below the office
of the Coriespoudent's Union and
Statistical Buieau. Lewis came from
New Yoik about a j’ear since, and be
ing of good appearance, a plausible
talker, in fact an F. Ward sort of ■?.
fellow, he impressed nearly all with
whom he met and opened his oil spec
ulations. He claimed to be with one
Ha;ris of the Standaid Oil Company
who unerringly gave him “tips’' on
th 3 maiket, that he controlled 500, *■
000 barrels on margins, and if oil
went up he won, andgjf it went down
he just raked ia the and so
plausable was he, that Senatois,Mem
bers of the House, Heads of Bureaus,
Divisions and Clerks, male and fe
male, almost ran after h>‘m to get him
to invest their earnings. For a year
lie carried on his game unsuspected
but suddenly he disap,,eaied Iroui tin
city, and now it is learned that all hir
deali ms in oil existed only in his fei
tile imagination. It is estimated tha
the losses ot lii» dupes will amount t<
about $300,01:0.

Rising Fawn, May 26 — I notice
that Dr. Rnssey comes forward and
attempt to answer my article, which
in my judgment, he made a failure.
He failed to answer any fact that my
article contained. Doctor, yon pro
pose to assert that 1 had charged
Messrs. Pei kins and Allison with
•
being hypocritical Methodists. There
is no man in Dade county who les
teem any higher than John B. Perkins.
He is honest and all right ; a good
Christian, and so lives up to the re
quirements. There is m> hypocrisy
abi tit him. I would to God that all
of Dade county was as good. Doctor,
you and G. W. M. Tatum and J. A.
Moreland, as officers of the Lodge,
and 8. W. Hale, John B. Perkins and
H. L. W. Allison, trustees of the
Church, did agree for the compromise
to he made between the Church and
J.W. Blevins, executor, and you know
it, and if you are as honest as you
claim 1 ought to be, you will ac
knowledge that it was agreed that it
wa* better to make the compromise,
and convert the second story into a
church and school room until better
arrangements could be made for the
school. The above is the truth, and
you know it, and you ought to be too
high-minded to deny it. Just as I
stated before, you, who are fortunate
Jgpugli to he able to send vonr cliil-
it*en to a side school, don’t appear to
care for the laboring man who is too
poor to dress and send his children to
such schools. When we relinquish
ed our claims to the school room it
was understood by us that ample ar
rangements were made for oui protec
tion, as we had paid into the building
more*libeiallv than we were able, and
were assured by the Lodge and Church
that our interest was protected in said
compromise. But take it and go.
.lust stick to the little side show, the
ditcipline you mention and disregard
the Bible and its teachings, and my
word for it the devil is good for you.
Now we say and believe there are
tlmusands of good people who belong
to the Methodist church ; and-we love
good people, let them belong to what
church they ntav, and we make no
charge against them. But how is it
that at this place a man can visit all
kinds ot places—the barrooms, etc.
—and then go to church ami pray in
public ? Is snef the teachings of the
little sideshow you refcilto when yon
mention the little book | Discard all
such teachings, and take the Bible and
it will teach you to love your neigh
bor as yourself, and by so doing you
will be taught not to take advantage
of the poor, who considered when they
spent their low earnings that they
were expende l for the good of their
children. If Mr, Carnes did not as
sume the responsibility of depriving
us ot a place for a school, he is not to
be held responsible. But where did
the people you speak of get the au
thority to diregard a solmn agree
ment as an offer from the Lodge, or
an agreement that was made prior
to saying the school interest would
be protected? I do not know what
kind ot enimosity the gentleman was
suffering when he replied to my ar
ticle, but as he hails from a land
where mules are the principal produc
tion of tbe country, I am caused to
believe it must have been the ani
mosity of a mule. Xon can prepare a
mile comfortable quarters ami feed
• iin high, and when lie gets fat and
legin.s to feel his keepiug, he is almost
-me to want to kick you out of the
muse that has been prepared for all
be stock at your expense. At any
ite this lias been the case in renard
o the school room and church. But
Mst as J expected, but not a single
ct set forth in my article was an
vered. Honest.

New York, May 2>. —Jones D.
Fish, late president of the Marine
National Hank, was ure«icd last
night on a warrant issued by United
States Cotntnissioner Shields. Fish
was arrested at Maytic Flats, Broad,
way and Thir.y-ninth streets, where
it is said he had been concealing him
self. The warrant was issued upon
an affidavit tirade by National Bank
Examiner Scriba, who deposed that
after a careful examination of the
books of the Marine National Bank,
he found that Fish had misappro
priated funds belonging to the bank to
the amount of $1,141,000. This was
done between March 1 and May G -
Shortly before 1 p. m., Janies D.
Fish was brought to the Marshal’s
office, where a short consultation took
place. From there he was conducted
to the United States Commissioner’s
office, accompanied by his counsel.
Fish seemed entirely self-possessed
The Commissioner said to the pris
oner: “Mr. Fish, you are charged
of the United States law in wilfully
misapplying for your own uses certain
moneys belonging to a United States
hank. This is a criminal charge. Do
you appear by counsel?”
Fish pointed to his counsel, who
said, “We plead not guilty,” and
then asked District Attorney Root
what hail he wanted. Root replied
that the Lawrence case was the near
est case to this, and in that case the
District Attoiney asked’ fjr $">0,000.
Root would ask tor the same amount
Fish’s counsel said his client had
made over every dollar that he had for
the benefit of the bank, and everybody
knew that he not personally profited
by any of the money he was charged
misappropiating. The counsel thought
that $15,000 or $20,000 would he
ample security.
Commissioner Shields said he was
acquainted with tne facts in ihe case,
and he would fix the hail at $130,000.
Thereupon the prisoner was taken to
the marshal’s office, v here he remained
until his bondsmen were qualified.
XIE GIVES BOND.
Ti e bondsmen of James 1). Fish ap
peared before Commissioner Shields,
at 4 o’clock this afternoon and quali
fied in the following amounts: Janies
F. Waid, of Ward it Co’s Havana
Steamship Company, $15,000, Francis
C. Reed, lawyer, $15,000; David
IDrsch, tobacconist. $15,000. Fish
tlien took his departure, accompanie 1
by his fiienus.
Before he left the building Fish was
shown the statement published in one
evening papers, purporting to be a
denial by Ceu. Grant concerning the
letters which Kish said the General
had written to him. Fish said that
lie did not believe Grant had denied
having written the letters in question,
as he (Fish) now had them in his
possession; he would, however, ret use
for tlie present to make them public,
except as to their general scope, which
lie had already disclosed.
GEN. GRANT NON COMMUNITIVE.
The reporters have been unable to
get any authoiized statement ironi
oren. Grant or his counsel, Clarence
Seward, to whom he defers in the
matter legerding the allegations made
by President Fish of the M r ue Bank
th it he had letters irom Gen. Grant
a ssuring him that the government con
tracteof Grant & Ward were gen
nine. Interviews with triends ot Gen.
Grant indicate very clearly, howevor,
that they are convinced he will show
in a day or two that Fish’s statements
aie entirely false, or that they so mis
represent and distort actual facts as
to be woi th less.
The local newspaper is a grand and
glorious institution. It can make a
bigger mail out ot smaller material
than any other machine on earth.
There is many a man in public life to
day owes more to bis county paper
than he could pay in a thousand years,
There’s been many a Governor and

Yes. It pays the paper from two
