Octoder 13 1877. 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 Editor Calhoun Times : As the session approaches, local , n lerest is withdrawn from State politics or the nets of the administration, nd ceulers in the organization of the House.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. " NOTICE !
