WASHINGTON LETTER. From oar rwrnlar Conwyuudent.1 Washinqtok, Jan. 17, 1881. Whil tba busineei ot Coogreaa pro gres8c gaudily and quietly the pol iticians and gossip have bad enough to occupy their attention in discussing pro babilities aa to the next Cabinet, watch ing the progress of the various Senatorial contests, and gathering in the derelop ments of the Christiancy scandal. Per haps the chief interest has centered in tiie Senatorsbip struggles. It is a notice able fact, however, that politicians here have, as usual, unbounded cenfldence in the ultimate triumph of the machine in New York, Pennsylvania, and all other States where machinery and "Bosses'' have a healthy existence. The moat amusing, if not the most surprising, renult was the selection of Conger in Michigan. Conger may be a man of some ability he certainly must possess some skill in manipulation, but in the House of Representatives he has cut a most ridiculous figure. Any one who has watched him from the gallery for a single day would never suspect that such a man obtain a Senatorial seat. But they may refrigerate him in that dignified body. It is an advantage to the peace and pro grass of the House-that he has been taken out of its deliberations. Concerning the Cabinet there is no end . of speculation, but the only portfolio that seems to be definitely disposed of is that Secretary of State is assigned to Mr. Blaine. It is assumed that Conkling personally, and some of the other fellows of the Grant crowd, will not like thia, and that they will have to be violently conciliated before things can run smooth ly. It was asserted with great con fidence, at one time. Governor Foster, of Ohio would be made either Sucretary of the Interior or Postmaster -Gtneral. That would be a good scheme for the few remaining male residents of Ohio. The President has provided for all the big fiBh out there by putting-them in good places, and the Secretary of the Treasury has satisfied the intermediate grade with special agencies and other berths. Now if the PoBt-Office Department could only take in the smaller fry for clerks and route-agents, Ohlb might struggle along very well. Senator-elect Mahone, of Virginia is an object of great interest; and he is shrewd enough to enjoy the situation. The Republicans are especially solicitous concerning Mahone's probable course in the Senate, and there are evidence of strenuous efforts to win him to their side by promises of aid in the coming struggle in his state. The National liepublican, now edited by George C Gornain, a can didate for Secretary of the Senate, openly urges the Republieansof Virginia to join the Re-ad juste; and f "return iris un derstood Gorham expects Mahone's vote for the secretaryship. ' But the best in formed Virginia politicians say that Mahonecun not afiord to aflliate with the Republicans and he knows it; bis power would fail and his following disappear. A prominent Virginian said to your cor respondent to-day: "Mahone could not hold his own forces, nor one-third of them, in line on any ticket for State con trol by a fusion with the Radical colored vote, and he knows that perfectly well because he saw- how they scattered last campaign, when 'regular Democracy' was held over them in earnest. His strength as a leader, and all of it there can be, must come from his position as an independent Democrat. Another thing; the negroes can't vote without paying their potl-tak. This item amounts to $30,000, and the campaign expense will make another $50,000, the total to come out of the Republican party of the North, an experiment, and this with the moral certainly that his own white Democratic troops would break if he hoisted the enemy's Sag." Yet Mahone may vote for Gorham as a matter of per sonal friendship. During the extreme cold weather of the past month much suffering has ex isted among the poor of this city,' where unexpected severity is not so well pro vided against as in communties where it is looked for. And we have a large class of poor here, not only consisting of the lower elements, embracing many who have known better times and possess a degree of culture and'1 pride. To a call of the authorities for means of relief there nai a most generous response, and within five days from the time it was issu ed not a case of distress was to be found in the city. Wealthy citizens, public of ficials, and the people generally gave liberally and even the British minister, Sir Edward Thornton, a most noble man responded to the cry. The President of the United States, however, who received a salary of $30,000 per year from the public, of which ho has Hoarded $150,000 in four years, gave not one cent. If Mr. Hayes had any national pride, any respect for the otfioo he. holds, any appreciation of what are known as "the proprieties" in his great office, or any sympathy with or anxiety about the sick and lowly, he wonld blush with shame when he contemplates the ignominious fact that the representatives of foreign countries gave liberally to the suffering poor of the Caoilal citv. while the Pres ident of the great country kept his hun- reus ot thousands of dollars closely but toned withiu his miserly pocket. But Mr. Hayes thinks of nothing but himself. i ' Phono. ' No Mother should be without Castoria for Children. Theld formula of Old Dr. Pitcher.

Special to the Plain Dealer.' ' Coli'mbcs, Jan. 15. In the two weeks which it has been in session the Legisla ture has accomplished about as little as any Legislature ever did in the same length of time. Certainly there never WAS a Ifrialat.nrA rliar mhnimmA nr. mn difference between its promises and its pciimmaiiL-te. ,ii was announcea very loudly when the body convened that it would get right down to business, and push things so that the session would not only be the shortest ever known, but show the most work. If the twn of the present s- ssion are to serve as a ul inn oi worn 10 oe expect ed of this most wonderful Republican Legislature, the grass will grow green in the State House yard before the members take their final departure from the scenes Of their alleged labors, and the record of their work may be sent out to their con-' stituents in small pamphlets. The fact is that thtt nrpflfmt Onnral Acaamlilir ia one the most dawdling, trifling and dila tory nou ieg ever assembled at the capital. The SenntA ia nfton arid lit lit a nnnnint owing to the absence of Republican nem- 1 . L - 1 1 : e . i .. . nuu biic uuuss is ircqnenuy bo ulin that action on important bills cannot be had. There is an unprecedented rush of local bills and ill considered measures for reforming every thing and every body. If one tenth of the bills proposing amend ments to the new code were to be enact ed into law, that very costly piece of changed that not even S. S. Bloom would leuuKiuze it. me oniy uui or any im portance that has been passed thns far has been the anti-pool selling bill, and that measure is one that is more than likely to be consigned to the limbo of un executed statutes than ever to accomplish anything in the direction its authors, and advocate hoped. For the rest there has been talk and loafing about, wearisome twaddle about things of no consequence and masterly activity in doing nothing. And this is the Republican Legislature that was to do wonders in the last days. THE LOCAL OPTION PROBLEM AND HOW THE REPUBLICANS PROPOSE TO SOLVE IT. Columbus, Jan. 14. The general opin ion here in regard to local option or any other so-called temperance legislation is that nothing will be done notwithstand ing the very heavy pressure being made by the friends of local option. Certainly there will not be if the Republican lead ers can restrain their followers. The Republican members from the country districts are very much in earnest iu pass-, ing some kind of an anti-liquor law and if they take the bit in their teeth, they will pass a local option bill of some kind. But the leaders and the members from the cities will stand out against any such legislation, because it would be ruinous to the party. It will be the Republican policy 10 put the temperance reformers off with some kind of non-committal action, solace them with a virtuous reso lution against intemperance or evade the passage of the law asked for bv some kind of an equivocation. It is a knotty question for the Republicans and there is danger in both doing and not doing. But, as one of the shrewdest members of the Republican majority in the House ex pressed it, the temperance people can be bamboozled into voting the Republican ticket under any circumstances, and when the party war cry is raised they will rush to the support of anybody who may be the candidate; but if any sump tuary law is passed the German vote is ir retrievably loBt. Hence it is the Repub lican tactics to put the temperance re formers off with anfr. nrnrrla antt tr, fn,. the liquor interests at the same time. A Democrat's Opinion of Thomas C. Piatt. The Oswego Palladium in referring to the nomination of Thomas C. Piatt for Senator, by the New York Republican caucus, says: , His eleotion to that office on Tuesday next is a foregone conclusion. It will be a disgrace to the State of New York. Piatt is a third rate, local politician, a lackey of Conkling's; a, packer of cau cuses and conventions; . a distributer of corruption money for the machine; a cunning, unscrupulous trickster, and, probably, the most obnoxious man to the intelligence and decency of the Republi can party that Conkling could have se lected. Indeed it is scarcely to be doubted that Conkling chose him because of those marked qualities, and because he could not have fixed upon a man who would more thoroughly outrage the sensibilities of the anti-machine republicans. He first found out which" among the machine candidates would be the most offensive to the antis, and then deliberately rammed him down their throats. Piatt will be as senator, what he has always been in all his political relations, a tool of Conkling and chief scullion of the ma chine. Ken-Partisan Ilurabng. Governor Foster's assertion in his Mes sage that in his appointments he has 'sought to exclude mere partisan reasons,' is cheeky in view of the facts'. Governor Foster has made no appointments that were not made to fiulfill partisan ends. The pretense of reorganizing the public institutions of the State was set up as a shield to cover a partisan grab for spoils, and nobody knows that better than Mr. Foster. The state public institutions are almost without exception in the hands of the Republicau paiiy from the head of ficial down, and this as a result of Gov ernor Foster's non-partisan appointments. The assertion that they were reorganized in the interest of better administration and because (to quote to Governor) "pub lic sentiment demand itj. is sickle non sense and shambling hypocrisy. "Public sentiment,, demanded no such thing, ' .but hungry and needy Republican place trunteVs did. '" The institutions were reorganized to turn Democrats out and put Republicans in and that fact is well known teverybody, But then it is in the nature Bt the Republican party to be dishonest as well as unscrupulous. HOW TO EMPTY AN OVERFLOW . INO TREASURY. It it not often that a Government re verses its character as a tax collector and varies the monotony of periodically call ing on its citizens for cash by actually distributing money amongst them, so many dollars and cents to the head. The beneficence of the body politic to its con stituent memoirs very - rarely take the special form .of direct pecuniary gifts to individuals. " There have been instances in history of such gratuities, and current exaaiples of them are found in the pen sion systems of the United States and other countries. In all these cases, how ever, the beneficiaries of the public bounty in the shape of money are certain specified persons in the community. It happened in 183S that there was an actual per capita distribution of Govern ment funds in some of the States of the Union. The National Treasury that year divided among the ' twenty-Bix States, nominally as a loan but virtually as a gift, what was known as the surplus revenue. Some of the States made it the founda tion of a school fund, and others disposed of their apportionment in some other way. The amount allotted to Maine was about $1,000,000. This was considered by the Pine Tree legislators as belonging to the people individually rather than collectively, and that construction was literally carried out by sending to every body in the State the sum of $3.40. the payment was not limited to the heads of families or householders, but took iu ail the women and children of Maine, as well a the men who could bear arms or vote. Many middle-aged persons, who were at. that time small boys in their first pair of boots or little misses in pantaletts, vivid ly recall the receipt of their share of tli9 munificence of a' paternal Government. To some it was the foundation of a for tune realized in after life, and it was to all a patriotic inspiration of no insignifi cant or. evanescent potency, as the annals of twe subsequent wars bear record. Time has greatly changed since those good old days of Andrew Jackson and strict constitutional construction. A matter of $28,000,000 surplus in the Fed eral Treasury would now be deemed too trifling to make a fuss about. ' As it hap pens, however, we have aot even that much, and there is no probability that this generation or the next will ever see an embarrassment of riches in the gener al exchequer. The balance is on the other side. We have attained to the na tional blessing of a national debt of so tnagnifioent proportions as that it is like ly to stay by us aa a convenient and safe fund for investment for many a long year. We have got bravely beyond the crude and simple methods of the fathers, and are in the full flow of a new and won derful evolffUon -of the science of states manship. Philadelphia Ledger. A Horrifying Spectacle A Mother and Father Witness the Burning of Tbelr Children, Unable to Res cue Them. Rochester, Ind.,' January 13. At two o'clock this morning there was an ex tremely distressing holocaust on the west bank of Hemlock Lake, thirtv-five miles south of Rochester. The family of James O. Buckley a farmer, were aroused from their slumbers by the kicking of a colt in the stable. Buckley, his wife and four children were in bed downstairs. Two of their children, a boy aged eight, and a girl ten years old, were asleep upstairs. The six persons on the .ground floor had barely time when awakened to es cape with their lives and few bedclothes around them from their house, which was enveloped in flames. The house and every thing remaining in it, including the two sleeping children upstairs, were burned to ashes. The frantic parents and brothers and sisters of the fated children were power less in their endeavors to rescue them. They heard their piteous cries when they awakened surrounded by flames, but had to stand and witness the burning mass fall down and crumble with the two bodies. They were four miles from any vil lage, and no help could reach them. Besides the cremated children, all the wearing apparel of the family. $300 in money and a lot of grain in the barn were consumed in the fire. It originated from a defective chimnev flue.

Is There a Panic Impending? rne statement or Jay Gould some weeks since that the present era of wild speculation would result in a panio and consequent depression in trade has been widely - commented on, and opinions differ aa to whether ha is a true or false prophet. That many of the present wild speculations will fall and involve many in ruin unquestionable, but that the ruin should become general and involve al most every one we do not believe. ' After such an era of prosperity as we have been passing through a reaction is bound to come, and those who have flown their kite too high will see it break loose from them, and beyond their control. Dur ing the years of depression from 1873 to 1878 money was hoarded up in almost countless amounts, and capitalists feared to invest it. When affairs changed, and the "boom" set in, capital sought invest ments of all kinds. The millions of capi tal that had been locked up for years sought investment, and there was more money than could find employment in legitimate business ventures. When the field of legitimate business of all kinds was taken up, the balance of the money left still sought investment, and the re sult is that many things are over done. reopie who naa money were as anxious to have it invested as they had been anx ious to hoard it before, and the result is that many injudicious investments have been made, and some wild speculations indulged in. These latter must necessari ly fall, sooner or laler, and with their fuilures the legitimate business of the country will suiter somewhat, but wo do not believe that there will beany general disaster. Times, may close again, but there is no reason to believe that we will pass through such a series of years as those following the panic of 1873. The country has all the elements of prosperi tygood crops and a good foreigu de mand for them, and as long as this con tinues there can be no very hard times. The bursting of speculative bubbles will carry fortunes with them, but those venturing their property in this manner must take the chances. The legitimate business of the country is in but little danger, and we believe our prosperity will continue for a number of years.

Isteadof giving purses to one good horse and three poor, we have sweepstake races and the money will go to the best horses because associations being deprived or a share in the pool boxes can not offer so much money and the great inducement to dishonesty will be taken away and every rascal on the turf will steer clear of Ohio, or if he comes here he will come to let his horse eo.

His body aiid limbs are swollen to twice their usual size,,-and. having a whitish appearance, hard as marble. The children ate but little, and have not suffered severely. Portions of the meat analyzed show it to be alive with trich inae." There is law enough now on the stat ute books to close every saloon in the State, on Sunday and every other day, if enforced.

They have been fighting liquor sellers for forty years without accomplishing any substantial good. - Now would it not be the part of wisdom to chango the mode of attack?
