OIR WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington, D. C. April 9,1877.
Editor Calhoun limes :
In the early days of Meddybemps
township in Maine, the faithful were
gathered together, as is the custom in
New England, to “organize a church.”
They were troubled because they were
few. It was proposed, ho being the
only citizen who would accept the of
fice, to make a deacon of a man whose
daily walk and conversation singled him
out as the one having a special call to
serve Satan. There was opposition
amoug the brethren, but every one else
declined to serve, and the champion
sinner was finally counted in, on the
general ground that if the church at
Meldybemps must havo a deacon it
must take such as it could get. lam
not writing the history of that church,
and not even know if it was represent
ed in that pious Boston gathering of a
week ago, which abandoned religion for
low politics —christ for the infidel Phil
lips —but it occurs to me that President
Hayes may profitably consider the Med
dybemps matter before attempting to
secure supporters among the “old whigs”
of the South. To one merely looking
on it seems plain that those who are
good fur anything don’t want to s rve.
and those who will serve are not worth
having. There is every indication that
the President will fail in any effort to
secure respectable support in the South.
His mere askiag for it is a bid for
men’s characters, and cannot be looked
at in RDy other light. Who believes
he would thus suddenly have abandon
ed the negroes—the poor blacks for
whom alone his heart bled in Novcm*
ber—if the negroes could give him ef
ficient support? On sporting language
he is backing the “old whig” against
the colored man.
The movement to nominate General
Banks for the Speakership, against the
Democratic candidate, gains strength.
It is clearly seen that the
tion cannot elect any man closely iden
tified with itself, and it may prefer
giving its influence to a man like Gen.
Banks to suffering an undisguised dea
feat in its first battle. The election of
Banks would not be a defeat for any
pa r ty, except the Democratic party
His Republicanism is of that chame
leon-like kind which would permit all
portions of the party to claim a victory
in his election, and he is too old and
fixed in his wandering habits ever to
become permanently attached to any
one sect. Besides, ho has hosts of
friends, and the Democratic supporters
of Hayes—if there are any such—
oould be more readily brought to vote
for him, than for perhaps any other
man. The letter of Garrison and the
later speeches of Phillips, both in em
phatic and unequivocal condemnation
of the administration, bore early fruit
in the Northern press. The Boston
Journal, which, in its daily edition,
read principally by the commercial and
business classes in the cities, has been
loud in its approval of the President’s
policy, has carefully excluded such
signs of approval from its weekly edi
tion, sent almost exclusively and very
extensively to the farming population
of New England. The general tone
of Republican papers received here is
greatly changed in the last ten days.
There are signs of trouble outside of
the newspapers, too. The prominent
Republicans who do not believe in the
policy of the President are those who
have strength with the masses. I be
lieve that Blaine could speak in better
condemnation of the administration, in
every county in Maine, and not miss in
the applause u thousand of the men
whose approval has made him for years
the uudisputed leader of the party in
that State.
To the gratification of many, many
thousands, the President announced
that he will soon commence filling the
offices. It is now apparent that the
administration will have no “reform”
policy that will prevent the punishment
of its enemies or the reward of its
friends. You may expect a word of
remonstrance soon from Geu. Wm. Cur
tis, the father of American civil service
competitive examination, for an office
seekers war is upon us. The President
will have a party if he has to buy it.

To the Coming Flowers,
Awake, dear sleepers, from your wintry
tombs j
The eun has turned the point of Capri
corn,
And ’gins to pluck from winter’s wings
the plumes
Of darkness, and to wind his silver
horn
For your return. Come to your homes,
forlorn
In absence of your odors and your

Like Rachel weeps for you the reaved
morn,
As often as she views your empty
places,
Erewhile the daily scene of her an i
youi embraces.
Come, peasile snow drop, like the ear
liest star
That twinkles on tho brow of dusky
Night j
Come, iike the child that peeps from
door ajar,
With pallid cheek, upon wasteful
sight;
And shouldst thou rise when oil around
is white,
The more thou’ll demonstrate the pow
er of God,
To shield the weak against the arms of
might,
To strengthen feeble shoulders for their
load,
And sinking hearts ’mid ills they could
not full forebode.
Come, crocus cup, the cup where ear!)
bees
Sip the first nectar of the liberal year,
Comt and illume our greens, as -imiles
Light up the poet’s song. And O, ye
dear
March violets, corae near, come breath

You, too, fair primroses, in darksome
woods,
Shine forth, lise heaven’s constellations
clear ;
And come, ye daisies, throng in multi
tudes,
And whiten hills and meadows with
your saintly hoods.
Come with thy lilies, May; thy roses,
Tune 3
Come with your richer hues, Autumnal
hours j
0, tell your mellowing sun, your regal

Your dewy drops, your soft, refreshing
showers,
To lift their blessing hands in Flora’s

Nor e ; en to scorn the bludweed’s flossy

Nor foxglove’s banner hung with pur- j
pie flowers,
Nor solitary heath that cheers the wold‘
Nor the last daisy shivering in Novem

LAMBERT’S LICK.
Twenty Thousand Hollars in
Gold Found in a Cave in Ham
blen County, Tennessee.
There is a strange story, hut never
theless a true or e, to be given for your
readers. In the early history of East
Tennessee, about 1794, as near as can
be determined, three men by the name
of Patterson, all brothers, visited the
New Market valley, with the intention
of buying the rich and extensive lands
near what is known as Panther Springs.
They brought with them a large amount
of money, supposed to be from £20,000
to £50,000 in Mexican coin. While
looking over tl.e lands they were mur
dered and their monej and other artU
cles of value taken from t tbeir person
by a hunter, and their were burnt
in a cave near what at that time was
known as the “buffalo crossing,” now
known as tbe Grindstone Ho’low, which
place was also the rendezvous of the
murderer, whom it is supposed feared
that tbe Patterson’s would be uassed
from the neighborhood, fied to the wes
tern portion of Virginia. There he
died, and on his death bed he gave a
way bill that his hidden treasure might
be found. Some forty years ago, say
the older citizens, two men came with
the way bill, giving a description of the
place, and every effort was made to find
the money, but to no purpose, and after
several weeks of hard labor gave up the
search. Now for the sequel ;
During the heavy snow of tbe past
winter a man by the name of John Lam-’
bart and a man from the vicinity of
Panther Springs went hunting and
tracked a coon to a small hole by the
edge of a rock. Lambert stopped up
the hole, and lemarked that “he would
get the gentleman yet, if he wasn’t
pretty sharp.” He subsequently went
back (it is supposed after the snow had
melted) and found two rocks over the
hole 3 ho moved them and saw below
them a vast cavern. He returned home
and procured a bed-cord, tied the same
to a walnut tree and descended into it
for some 100 feet, and there found tue
treasure spread out upon a routs, wilt
an old Mexican saddle blanket spread
over it. The blanket had decayed un
til nothing but the “filling” remain
ed.
Lambert made these statements to a
friend of his, and showed him a pocket
full of money. He was a day luboier,
and did not know what it was to have
any amount of money.
Your correspondent viaited the sec
tion of country while the people weie
making evacuations where Lambert had
filled the cave, and witnessed with his
own eyes nearly one-half of a human
skeleton taken out, and a.i other signs
made a hundred years ago. Lambert
and his family have departed to some
unknown country with the money.—*
These are facts, as can be proven by
any number of the best citizens of
Panther Springs.— Morristown (Tenn .)
