The writer was in the grave yard Sunday and noticed that the bushes and bakbeny vines had grown up so as to make one think that it was an old field instead of a hurrying ground.

Y. this week, are being Jiscussel very finely at the Capitol, and it is generally agreed tiiat tlu seeming endorsement by the commit tee of the nomination of the “old ticket,” was occasioned by the desire on the part of both the Cleveland and Flower men that they were the special friends and advocates of Gov ernor Tililon. Both factions beiieve that Mr. Tilden will not be a candi date and each desires to fall heir to the votes he cen transfer. It may be clearly 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 really 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, and assert that the statements made at the New York convention, that the 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, energetic representative of true Democracy, an aggressive 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 right the wrongs of individuals. The cam paign must be run on principle and with men as standard bearers who have blood enough in them t<> 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 cl the people restored.” It is likely that Mr. Hewitt’s tariff bill, or at least a portion thereof will be brought before ttie House this ses sion for consideration. Tht Ways and Means Committee have under con siderat’on that portion of the bill which explains the present tariff aw, and members of the committee state that they will go no lartber ; that is, that no consideration will be given to that part of Mr. Hewitt’s bill which relates to the teduction ot the tariff < Members who bad 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 w isdom on this branch of the science ot political economy before their con stituents. Washington has had its sensation las week in the disappearance of Geo. 11. Levis, an alleged oil broker, who has been doing business in the build ing G 29 F street, just below the offici of the Correspondent’s Union and Statistical Buieau. Lewis came from New York about a year 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 he with one Ha;ris of the Standaid Oil Company who unerringly gave him "tips” on ilia market, that he controlled 500,- 000 barrels on margins, ami if oil went up he won, and if down he just raked in the dollars, and so plausahle was he, that Senatois.Mem- bers of the House, Heads of Bureaus, Divisions and Cleiks, male and fe male, almost ran after h : m to get bin to invest their earnings. For a veai he carried on his game unsuspected but suddenly he disap,mated horn til city, aud now it is learned that all hi dealings in oil existed only in his fei tile imagination. It is estimated tba the losses ot his dupes will amount t> about $300,0w0. The boat running to Mt.

The banks of the Potomac are quite as beauti’nl as those of any river in the United States, and Ml. Veinon is one of lwliest spots on the shores of this historic stream. Hundreds of visiting bi cyclists and attendants upon tlie cere monies connected with the unveiling of the Luther statue in Washington, made a pilgrimage to the tomb of the father of his couutry, duiing their visit here. The House Committee on Civil Service Reform yesterday unanimously directed a favorable report on the bill introduced by Mr. Long to repeal the tenuie of office act. S. B. Rising Fawn, May 26. I notice that Dr. Russey comes forward and attempt to answer my article, which in my judgment, he made a failure. He failed to answer any fact that iny article contained. Doctor, you pro pose to assert that 1 had charged Messrs. Pei kins and Allison 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, ami so lives up to the re quirements, There is no hypocrisy abi.ut 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 tlie Lodge, and 8. W. Hale, John B. Perkins anJ 11. L. W. Allison, trustees of the Church, did agree for the compromise to be made between the Church and J.W. Blevins, executor, and you know it, and if yon are as honest as yon claim I ought to be, you will ac knowledge that it was agreed that it was 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 i 6 the truth, aud you know it, and you ought to be too high-minded to deny it. Just as I stated before, you, who are fortunate enough to be able to send your cliil- Iren 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 wc relinquish ed ouv claims to the school room it was understood by us that ample ar- rangements were made for mu 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 comproaaire. But take it ami go. Just 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 thousanfls of good people who belong to Kie Methodist church ; ami we lnyc good people, let them belong to what church they may, and we make no charge against them. But how is it that at this place a men can visit all kinds of places—the barrooms, etc. —and then go to chilli and pray in public ? Is such the teachiifts of the little sideshow von refer to phen you mention the little hook ? lAscard all such teachings, and take the Bible and it will teacli you to love your neigh bor as yourself, and by so doing you will be taught not to take advantage >f the poor, who considered when they -peat thbir low earnings that they vereexpendet for the good of their children. If Mr, Carnes did not as sume the responsibility of depriving us of 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 solum agree ment as an offer from the Lodge, or an agreement that was made prior to saying the school interest wool 1 he protected ? I do not know what vind ot snimosity the gentleman was suffering when he replied to my ar ticle, hut 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 nosity of a mule. Yon can prepare a mule 'mmfortable qmrters and feed dm high, and when he gets fat and >egiiM to feel his keeping, he is almost mie to want to kick yon out of the muse that has been prepared for all he tck at your expense. At any rate tuis has been the case in renard to the school room and church. But list as I expected, hut not a single ict Ret forth in my article was an wered. Honkst.

Seri us Charges are Mad Against General Grant President Fish Under Arrest.- He Charges General .Grant With En dorsing the Correctness of th Crant &. Ward Coverment Contracts, Etc., Etc. Nrw York, May 26.—James D. lAs!>, late president of the Marine National Bank, was arrested last night on a warrant issued by United States Commissioner Shields. Fish was arrested at Maytic Flats, Broad, way and Thirty-ninth streets, where it is said he had been concealing him self. The warrant was issued upon an affidavit made by National Bank Examiner Scriba, who deposed that after a careful examination of the books of the Marine National Bank, lie 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 6 - Shortly before 1 p. in., James 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 Couimissiener 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 bank. This is a criminal charge. Do you appear by counsel?” Fish pointed to his counsel, who said, “YVe plead not guilty,” and then asked District Attorney Root what bail he wanted. Root replied that the Lawrence case was the near est case to this, and m that case the District Attoiney asked fir $50,000. 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 lie was charged inisappropiatiiig. The counsel thought that $15,000 or $20,000 would be ample security. Commissioner Shields said he was acquainted with the facts in ihe case, and he would fix the hail at $;>0,000. Thereupon the prisoner was taken to the marshal’s office, where he remained until his bondemen were qualified. HE GIVES BOND. The bondsmen ol James D. Fish ap peared before Commissioner Shields, at 4 o’clock this afternoon and quali fied in the following amounts: James Fi. Y\ aid, of Ward dt Co.’s Havana Steamship Company, $15,000, Francis C. Reed, lawyer, $15,000; David Hirsch, tobacconist, $15,000. Fish then took his departure, accompanie 1 by his fiiends. Before he left the building Fish was shown the statement published in one evening papers, purporting to he a denial by Gen. Grant concerning the letters which Kish said the General had written to him. Fisli said that he did not believe Grant had denied having written the letters in question, as he (Fish) now had them in his possession; he would, however, retuse for the present to make them public, except as to their general scope, which he had already disclosed. gen. grant non communitive. The reporters have been unable to get any authorized statement from oren. Grraut or his counsel, Clarence Seward, to whom lie defers in the matter legerding the allegations made by President Fish of the M; r tie Bank that he had letters from Gen. Grant a ssuring him that the government con tracts of Grant & Ward were gen uine. Interviews with friends of Gen. G rant 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 reuresent and distort actual facts as to he worthless.
