regarded one of her bit ercit tnemies .In
Congress he has been an uncompromis*

bitter in his hatred to our section than

OIK WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington, D. C. Nov. 5, 18TT.
Editor Calhoun Times :
All newspaper readers will have
noted how carefully political questions
have been held in abeyance in House
and Senate up to this time. At high
noon on Wednesday, or so soon there
after as the rules of the House will per
mit, is likely to be a change in this res
pect. We cannot expect the extra ses
sion to come and go without decided
expressions of opinions on subjects
which have been everywhere discussed
since Mr. Tilden was elected President
one year ago this month. Mcst intelli
gent citizens believed that Mr. Tilden
was elected. Siuce then one member
of the Electoral Commission —Justice
Brad y —has published a letter showing
lout he was in doubt on the subject,and
a letter of another member —Justice
Strong—has been published explaining
that he believed there were great Re
publican frauds in Louisiana, and that
his voice and influence were given to
Mr. Hayes as a mattei of expediency.
This is the substance of Justice Strong’s
letter. Now, it may be that this same
idea of “expediency” will prevent
many Democrats from expressing a be
lief that the Electoral Commission, was
unconstitutional, and that Mr. Hayes is
not legally President. This idea of
“ expediency ” may prevent the suc
cess of an effort to pass an act to enable
Mr. Tilden’s friends to secure an early
decision of that question by our highest
Court. Rut there are doubtless many
who will take other views of the mat
ter, and who will express temperately
but forcibly the general wish that the
whole question may be settled in the
only way it can possibly be settled.—
We shall have the subject up for dis
cussion. But for the patriotic cause
taken in some important matters by Mr.
Hayes it would have beeu impossible* to
keep it so long in the background. But
the country cannot afford to accept Mr.
11 ayes as President, il be is not in teal
ity President, leca se of hi-good char
acter. To compare small tilings with
great, this view of the case has the
wcjka-.ta as that of the boarder
who ~ c v 11' et his ‘ pious exaui

good of their people. Let us have
The Military Committee of the House

Messrs Ewing and Buckner, with theii

rules of the llcnse,can defeat legislation

No serious attempt has been mado'to
consider matters outside of those just
mentioned. The session will doubtless
continue late into this month, but there
seems to be a general disinclination
to v nouiouco ou work that is not pres*

The report of the Commissioner of
Patents for the past week, shows larger
results than for the corresponding
week last year—not in the number ot
patents issued, that is less, but in the
amount of work accomplished, The
full force is now employed, which will
be good news to the many inventors
who have been holding back business,
because they I’ea-ed the great fire hud
impaired the efficiency of the efLci

In extenuation of his evil deeds, he
did not even have the poor excuse of
Sumner’s dull, solid, cou’racted mind.
On the contrary, his mind was quick,
active and powerful, aud his physical
ability to carry out the evil conceptions
of that mind were, until impaired by
shameful excesses, fully equal to their
perfoimance.
We will not waste wud_ over that 1. and
man’s fresnly dug grave. May he find
peach there. But should occasion de
amnd, we shall review his life as the
Egyptians revi wed ,u li\es of thdr
kings, whose shrouded corpses were
brought forth before the multitude ,that
those whom they had outraged during
their days of power might at least invoke
the vengeance ol 1 t.r mbi na over
