OUIt WASHINGTON LETTER*
Washington, D. C. June 11,1877.
Editor Calhoun 1 imez :
A story has been industriously circu
lated lately that the Presid' nt would
soon appoint to prominent office—nota„
bly to one or more foreign missions of
high grade—men of good standing in
the I)em icra.ic party. He early claim
ed that theso foreign offices shouid in a
greater degree than others represent the
person of the President. It is unnec
essary to say that Democrats of ‘‘good
standing” even if they would take office
from Mr. Hayes at all, would hardly ac
cept it with an understanding that they
were to represent him instead of repre
senting the United States. That he
will tender these or other places to Dem
ocra s soon, is common talk among men
of both parties. Perhaps he still be
lieves he can create a ‘‘new party” in
this way, but if he is to be successful in
that Democrat must come to his support
faster than they are doing, to take the
place of departing Republicans.
The latest man of note who desires
good results .rom the Southern policy of
the admiirstration, but believes it a stu
pendous mistake, is Senator Kirkwood,
of lowa. If the sentiment of lowa can
be judged by those of her citizens who
come here, Senator Kirkwood is less se
vere than his Republican fellow-citizens
of the State. Conversing this morning
with un inf diligent gentleman from
Northern lowa, I was informed that if
an issue could be fairly made up at
this time, the old fashioned Republican
of sixty thousand would bo completely
lost, such, at least, was his belief and
he is a Republican who is willing to
give the policy a trial.
As the Radical leaders, one after an*
other, express their discontent, it is no
ticeable that leading Democrats are ap
parently happy. While Hayes is
undoubtedly doing in some things good
work for the country, his course is not
less beneficial to tho Democracy as a
party in dividing its enemrcs.
Official despatches from Mexico rep*
resent the internal affairs of tho Re
public as in a mo3t critical condition,
and the government of Diaz as bein"
ready to fall to pieces. Whenever that
shall happen, and the legitimate Presi*
dent be restored to power, more inti
mate treaty relations between our gov
ernment and that would tend to
strengthen the friends of order in Mex
ico, and enable them to suppress bri
gandage on the Rio Grande. If, in
stead of adopting such a course as this,
tho President shall persist in sending
troops into Mexico, he will not only
needlessly promote disorder there, but
may involve us in* war.
The irrepressible Parson Newman, of
this ci f y, has just now a little of the
notori' ty which is dear to his heart. —
In undertaking to demolish the Gatho*
lie church on a late Sabbath, as is a
custom of his, be roused up an able
opponent in Rev. Father White. Tho
two d'vines are now proving each other
garblers of Scripture, prevaricates and
idiots. The Rev. Win. A. Cook, ad
viser to the late administration, once
offered to let his gold watch and six
hundred dollars in money that he had
mere “vital piety” than a brother who
reflected unfavorably upon him. If
the present combatants shouM arrange
a wager of tjhis kind, and leave the
question to be decided by any one who
has read the attacks upon each other,
the decision would be such as Morris
sey made cu the late Presidential elec
tion, the stakes would be retu ned on
the ground that neither side had won.
Washington scenery is just now at
its best. The wide uud clean streets,
the reservations, uaany and well kept,
the great spaces between the houses,
and the traveled portions of the streets,
united with lovely weather, make the
city beautiful. At this season I know
of no finer drive or stroll any whore
than can be fonnd in Washington.
Very truly yours,
Reno.
FROM! OUR “CUTE CITY” COR
RESPONDENT.
Some Reminiscences for the Cal
honn “Boys.”
Atlanta, June 11, 1877.
Dear limes :
It is more than a year since I have
attempted to write anything for your
columns, hence I fear that I will be a
stranger to many of your readers. Dur
ing this loDg silence rest assured you
have not been out of my mind ; other
duties have occupied my time depriving
me of the pleasure of even an occa
sional talk through your columns with
my old time friends in Gordon. I now
return like the Prodigal of old promise
ing to be more faithful as a “Gate City
correspondent” in future than I have
been in Many of your read
ers are friends of “days lang syne,”
therefore I like your columns quite as
much as the place whence you emanate.
Calhoun is a dear old town to me, for
Twas there I first launched my boat,
frail craft that it was, upon the great
sea of life. ’Twas there I first learned
to sleep at midday on the soft side of a
druggist’s counter, and roll pills and
mix potions for the stomachs of my fel
low creatures. There I first learned the
use of bear’s oil and cinnamon drops,
and to part my hair in the middle with
such accuracy as would put to shame
the civil engineer armed with square
and compass. There I joined the
“Skimmer horns” at the dead hoar of
midnight, and swore by the grinning
teeth of a skeleton never to tell that
Uncle E. J. K. was President and grand
cyclops of the order. (I’ve never told).
I won’t tell here how I was initiated.
The secret is sealed in my innocent bo
som. ’Twas in that same old town I
learned the art of attaching the indi
spensable oyster can to the candal ap
pendageo f the unsuspecting canine, at
that hour when grave yards give up
their dead for the time being that they
may go forth to terrify evil doers, in
company with good old Mose F., Har
rison F. and Uncle E. J. K. I have
actually seen a poor, innocent calf go to
the Court House yard and tie its own
tail to the bell rope and call from their
peaceful sltmbers the city fathers.—
Capt. Joe McC. who always attended
lodge-meeting on those nights will tes
tify to the truthfulness of these state*
ments. The town Marshal had stepped
around the corner to see a man. In
those days that little town contained
more real live, big-hearted boys than
any other of its size in Upper Georgia.
A majority of them have committed
matrimony, hence the family circle is
broken. I alone sit in the lap of
celibacy, a self-made victim to that re
morseless fiend. Still hopeful I look
forward with bright anticipations not
withstanding the fact that i am grow
ing rather ancient. Time, so far, has
dealt kindly with me, but from obser
vation I think that “impartial conquer
or” grows less merciful as he gets a
stronger hold on a fellow, as I think I
will make an effort to free myself at an
early day.
I have not been trying to write any
thing for newspapers recently, oonse.
quently I hardly know what would be
of particular interest to your readers
now. If in this, or any other letter. I
should brag on Atlanta, please attribute
the fault—if fault it be—to no dispo
sition whatever to magnify things or to
advertise our live city, for it is simply
the workings of a disease that every
man living here suffers from. We can’t
help praising our idol. An Atlanta
man had rather go without bis whisky
than be deprived of this blessed privU
lege. A man who has not walked over
our city since my last letter would wan
der around here a stranger now. The
sun has been shut out by huge blocks
of business houses from places which
she has gazed upon for the last fifty
years. Brick and mortar have been at
a premium, and we have as a result a
city that should be the pride and glory
of every true Georgian. We have so
many things to brag on that I hardly
know where to begin. We have more
churches and bigger ones than any
other city in Georgia, all of which are
well attended. We have as many bar
rooms as any two cities in the State.—
Our public school system is unsurpass
ed in this country, while the dozen or
more first class newspapers, periodicals,
literary and scientific journals attest
our fondness for culture and refinement.
We have as big cotton factory as I ever
saw, (it’s the only one I’ve seen), and
as many niggers, loafers, dogs, thieves
and politicians as any first-class city
needs. Recently we have had a lithow
graphing establishment put into opera.*
lion that can do as fine work as any
similar conoorn in this country, but I
can’t enumerate a tithe of our big
things in a short letter like ibis. I
hope your readers will come dowu and
take a good look at us on the 4th of
July, when we expeot to have a big
day—a real old time jollification. We
expect our oouutry 00 twins from every
corner of the State. ludeed large sup
plies ot ginger cakes, eider and “aody”
water have been ordered to make our
city doubly attractive on that day.—
Fully a half million of people will be
here then hollowing “hurrah for out
glorious free nigger country I” We
have extra hats, with bricks in them,
prepared to toss high up on that occa'
sion. Sam Small has ordered a pair
of new blue glasses for the day —whotn*
er to look through or drink from I
shan’t attempt to say. Thornton will
also eat fifty full grown chickens and
make a two hours’ speech on the “at
trac‘ableness of gravity,” at 12 M. that
same day. Tell everybody to come and
let’s have a good time. Let the wood
en nutmeg and the true scent of Afri
ca’s dime go up together.
Before these lines reach your readers
Atlanta will have voted overwhelming
ly for a Con. Con. Ben Hill—our Ben
—made a speeeh to a large crowd at
the Capitol Saturday night, and told
the citizens to vote for a convention,
and we’ll do just what he says. Then
our jolly bar-keepers, enterprising ho
tel men, boot blacks and grouod pea
venders have said in one voice that we
must have a convention as business in
their respective lines is awful dull.—
Nothing like trade even if it does come
from Potipher Peagreen. One soup
maker —freelunchman—told me he had
made a standing order for ten sheeps’
heads per day to iurnish brain food for
our over-worked law-makers during
their stay with us as members of the
Con. Con. Nothing like prompt at*.
tention to pathological changes that are
always brought about by over work of
any kiud.
But this letter has already spun it
self into a long yarn, so I will cut it
short by promising to write you again
at au early day. Will make prompt
ness in fucure atone for past neglu
gence.

Tlie Atlanta Constitution.
Under its new management, the Atlanta
Constitution has won for itself the tide of
the leading journal of the South. Its en-'

ment, ia sending correspondents to differ
ent portions of the country, and its series
of special telegrams from Washington while
the electoral commission was engaged in
consummating the fraud that placed Radi.

councils are evidences conspicuous enough
to prove that no expense will be spared to
make the Constitution not only a leader in
the discussion of matters of public concern,
but a leader in the dissemination of the la

better time than now to subscribe for
A Fresh and Vigorous Newspaper.
Albeit, there has been a quasi settlement
of one of the most difficult and dangerous
problems of modern federal politics, the
discussions springing therefrom and the re
suits likely to ensue have lost nothing of
their absorbing interest. In addition to
this, the people of Georgia are now called
upon to settle
The Convention Question.
and in the discussion of this important sub
ject (in which the Constitution will take a
leading part) every Georgian is interested.

The machine makes the celebrated lock ptitch (the stitch invented by Mr. Hoowe.) ia
on both sides. The tensions are positivr both uppf*r and lower thread. The shuttle
tension is u on the thread as it leaves thhuttle, and not upon the bobbin, ns in meal

is obtained by turning a screw in. the shutt’", and can he changed in a moment, witheni
taking out the work, breaking the thread breading through holes.
