OIH WASHINGTON LETTER
Washington, D. C. Oct. 8,1877.
Editor Calhoun Times :
As the session approaches, local , n
lerest is withdrawn from State politics
or the nets of the administration, nd
ceulers in the organization of the House.
The Speakership, and dependent on
that, the composition of the different
committees, are the exciting topics of
discussion, and will remain so for the
week. On Saturday night the Demo
cratic caucus will be held and the main
question decided. Several candidates
for Speaker are here—Randall, Cox
and Morrison. Others will come to
day. Goode, of Virginia, has been
here, but is now away. The general
belief hero that Randall will be elected,
has Dot changed, and is strengthened
every day. He may miss the prize, but
if so, it will bo by a combination on
some new man.
Our little rebellion in Texas must
not be considered the fault of the Mex
ican Government or people. The facts
seem to be that designing men are
working upon the half-civilized Texans
of .Mexican biith, and that no citizens
of Mexico are so far implicated. There
is, however, reason to fear that, if the
trouble is not promptly suppressed, rest
less and plundering Mexicans may cross
the river and take part for the sake of
plunder.
Senator John J. Patterson, of South
Carolina, was arrested here on Saturday,
but was released on bail. The charges
are of bribing members of the South
Carolina Legislature and hiring Niles
G. Parker, Treasurer of that Sta e, to
commit larceny. Patterson is a Penn
sylvanian, and was said to be of unsav
ory life before going South. South
Carolina is beyond doubt permanently
rid of him, us it is of Chamberlain,
Parker abd the rest, unless the State
welcomes them to the penitentiary.
There have been two or three dis
coveries ot irregularities in the Interi
or Department of late—not by any of
the secret investigations of Secretary
Sclunrz, however. The investigating
committees are made up of suspected
parties for the purpose of finding out
ti e rascalities of other suspected par
ties, A, B, and C, investigate D, E,
apd F. Then D, E and F investigate
A, B and C. It is all done in secret,
and unless human nature is different in
the Interior Department from what it
is elsewhere, each set of rogues will
whitewash e.ich other set. The frauds
exposed of late have been such as ao
such committee had the task of discov
ering. They exposed themselves In the
Postoffice Department, also frauds havo
been discovered, and as they illustrate
a point often made in this correspond
ence—viz , thac “rings" were formed
among the subordinates in the various
offices, and therefore that changes were
desirable occasionally—l give the par,-
ticulars. One of the clerks being ab<
sent on leave, another man was put at
his desk and soon discovered that in
many cases a mail contractor had been
paid twice for tho same service. The
contractor would receive drafts on va
rious Postmasters, would collect the
money, the Postmasters would be duly
credited with the amounts, but the con
tractor not charged. I icpeat that the j
discovery was not owing to any ex'ra
vigilance of department officers or to
any investigation, but simply tp the
fact that, accidently, a change was
made in tho person performing, or sup
posed to perform certain duties. Two
or three clerks were necessary to the
success of the scheme.
In a despatch just received, General
Miles reports another fight against Jo
seph’s band of Indians. The losses on
both sides were considerable, and the
Indians were driven or voluntarily re
tired, it does not plainly appear which,
jnto an inaccessible position. General
Miles says lie fears a junction of this
party with Indians from the British
side of the line, and from this fact it is
evident he is unable, with his force, to
prevent such a junction.
Mr. Hayes goes to Frederick, Md., |
on the 11th to attend the fair at that
place. The city of Frederick has long
been noted for these annual gatherings.
It is the centre of a wonderful agricul
tural region and the scenery in the
neighborhood is of the finest. Mr.
Kayos will spend two days there. In
the winter he will visit Charleston, S.
C. and possibly New Orleans.
Very truly yours,
Reno.
