EImrT'r lousic,
Washington, October is, 1577. 1
When I went, to the Capitol this morning I
was told that the Democratic Menators would
not push the untlted ucaes Itoday unless the
ltadicals for, od the issue, Knowing both tlh
tact that thl itadidaln would not fore' the h ssue
and the ronson why they would not, I lost. in
terest in the tSenate and went over to thet House.
There I found the main business of members to
bethat of r aidng the new Doorketepr in behalf
of the myriad appliants for the hundred and
odd small places in the gift of that funtilonary.
Thlis state of lingsa was, wtually with the Hen
ate, of little Interest, so I resolved towrito a letter
on asubjoet whlch carries only an incidental
Interest in polities, but which really plays an
important part in thosum total of tpublic affairs.
I refer to
TIlE HoThiI,S OF WAUmINOTON.
British eoonomists tell us that the gauge of
elvilzation is found in the clasesioation of
tastes, habits and pur-utta: that the highest
state of livilization involves the closest gre
gariousness on the pait of guilds. elasses and
denominations among men; that London
is the most perfectly civilized city In the world
because, though twice as larg as any other
city In territory and populatidn, t here is no o'ty
- in the world, groat or small, in whi the
stranger may so easily find his way to the seat
of any particular branch of trado or of Industry
which he wishes to find. Thilis indeed true.
LIondon hiss its localities not only well
defined, but historically pointed out
and advertised. Its Commercial District, its
Financial District, Its Warehouse Ilistrlt, its
flnaser Quarter--in fact. everything, from iodg
gigt-houso to palace atnd from a bit of ribbon to
a cargo of coal, is classified, set apart and al.
most labelod with nomenclature that has be.
' me traditional. In that great metropolis of
the world the names of streets have passed Into
synonyms of special industries and traffcls,
current wherever the English languago is
known. Lombard street is a synonym for
money-changing, as current In America as in
England-and so on ad lihbiftn.
'the same order of distltction is obsorved In
the theatres, the parks, the public halls and the,
hotels. Everywhere we seo the operation of the
Agttlo-Saxon pattiality for order and positive
eonvenience-that tendency to save time and
abridge locomotion, so as to tranesatr the largest
posilble amount. of business with the least pus- I
ibleM trouble and expense. There can be no
doubt that this classification of groat masses of
population and of interests into such de
f ied order and with such plain sys
t'i. n is. as It is claimed to be, at once
: trilumph and a trophy of civilisation.
?robably, as this science of classiflcation e
po.gresses, we shall ultimately reach the ideal
o'ty of the future. whoose shopping distrie!s
iheal be definedl by tlaw and where the green
er, who invades the street which is the do- p
n of dry gOnlods, may be abated as a legal e
., Bsane. or where the cattle-drover, who regis- n
atthe hotel frequented by statesmnn, may
. put out by the colored porter without re
rse to the civtl rights tillt. Thtt would ocr. sl
lybe a lofty fitht of the angel of civliza- it
, and it is eortuln to be delayed until other E
ref s ate effected nearer the surfatce of the T
u'wthut imgng extravaganzas, let us o1
consider the fats relating to the subject first at

on the American continout. at is to say, in a
scal sense. Now when speatk of g,
TH "SOOCIETY OF WASHINGTON"
I must not be understood to refer to those
bevies of underdone and overdressed girls, or
to those mobs of boys alike boardless and
brainless, who chiefly dance its germans and
ae Its fashionable calls. This precocious In
ti tion indeed calls itself Washington
eoiety," but there its title ends. Sensible
people, who really constitute the society of the
tonal capital, generally regard the insti
tution described above Im the outward indloe
ions of a successful revolt in the nursery.
With thus much of reservation, then. let me
proceed upon the hypothesis that Washington
fn a social sensc , is the most highly civililed of
Amerloan cities.
There are various reasons why the hotels of
Washington shuld be of greater relative Im
pmtaaHlce than lthe hotels of other cities are. In
ll other places the bulk of the Important and
lfluontial population is permlntucently resident
_and domiclhd in homes; so that their hotels
re mere caravansaries for the passing enter
Sainment of the unknown wayfarer. At all
fylnts, in cities like New York, Chicago, New
Orleans and St. Louis. whatever eomnunion
there is betwoen hotel and resident ile is based
upon commenlrctl rather than upon social con
" siderationji
But heurdlh hotels frequently shelter
THE MA(INATEIS OF SOCIETY
itself. Here it, is not. the sojourner at the hotel
who is glt of in invitation to she home of a
friend in the suburbs; butit is the frieonl in the
suburbs who seeks the society of the magnate
at the hotel.
For theseo and other reasons the Washington
hotel acquires an imtIor anes peculiarly its
own. Eviry hotel in Washington is, by some
event within its walls, linked with the hIstory of
the nation. The register teems with autographs
of the great, and every room has hel a it stats
man. If you move about the office floor alter
dinner you jostle the rulers of the land, and
sntti.e bar-rooms are big with destiny.
In short sme partl of the fierce glare of no
toiety which thu. nation tlrns upon its eatltal
falls on its lhstelries and gives them an interest
to manklind.
There ,;re four really great hotels in Wash
ington, two great restuauraut and two colossal
boarding- houses.
THE FOUR (fREAT IIOTELS
ae the Ebbiti house, own d and manured by
QaWleb O Willhrt; Willard's Hotel, owned by
Henry Willard and managed by John F. Coke;
the Arlington, owned-well, by its mortgnganss-
and managed by .oiessI : and the lilggs louse.
which h is its fame all before it. 1'The two great
restaurants are We-ker's and Wormley's, and
the two cot, sal boarding-houses are called the
National and the Metropolitan.
These hotels have gradually fallen into lines
or "runs" of special patronage until they have
acquired sonlmthing of the distinctivcuess of
character notod above as the British test of civ
Ilitation: a distinctiveness whichis notto be
found in the hotoels of any other city in the- land.
THEC E.nrTT HOUSE
is the socrity hotel. It is the resort of the army
and navy anlmost without exception, and the
supeeisal .ilc,,.t of Imanaaging mnammas Who
come hiller '" brlny out their daughters in I
WaShinstm soc'inety.' The proprietor. Mr. I
WLllardt, makes a first bid for this iatticrular
class of iusltoi, iby carefully attending to tue I
outward attriactiveness of his house; You know
It is the outward hubilirnent that chiefly catches
eeye of he society female; and thus Mr. Wil
beckons the sweet creatures unto him.
'he Ebbitt stands at the corner of Fourteenth
andF streets, and occupies one quarter of an
immense block. bounded by the two streets
named, Thi rteenth,E and Pennsylvania Avenue. 1
Its light Fre.ich style of architecture, clean
white tacite and general airiness. give it the
appearance f a watering place rather than a
city hotel. The outward effect is fully sus
talned within,. for Mr. Willard, having invited
the birds of so.ltety by the outward beauty of

TTHE ARLINGTON
is of later growth than the Ebbitt or Willard's.
t Is in the, West End and was orlilnally doe
1 signed for the headquarters of the arlstocra
,yr 'that flourished in Washington ten years
ago. Uonsequently It. became to a great extent
the olysium of thecartoet-bingers and the favor
r ito hunting ground of the lobby. The proprie
tor of the Ar linrton-lioessle-is always the
most distingulshed man there. The rates used
to be ta a with extras. The extras consl4ted
laragely n being permitted to view the distin.
guilshd proprietor once or twice a d,y. Four
years ago I went to call on a carpet-bag Senator
at the Arlington. The "Senator' had been ac
cused of stoeling several Important mail routes
and other portable property of the government
in Texas, and I wanted to ask him, as a matter
of news. if it was true, and, if so, what he had
done with the stolen property. Going up to the
1 counter I Inqulred "If old -- was n ?"
The great and beautiful Ioossle was behind
the counter. He bent upon me a withering
glance which destroyed several years growth of
me, and whech I have only recently recovered
from.
" 'o whom do you refer?" he Inqulrcd. in a
truly massive manner.
"Why to old -, of --." I replied.
e Iajetii'atlly the great man turned upon his
heel and like a beautiful dream he disa peared
in the mysterious racesses of his bark ofce.
I leavingl his clerks to curdle my young blood
t with their freezing politeness. Ihad outraged
the dignity of the Arlington. I had offended
the decorum of the headquarters of carpet-bag
Pfery and the lobby. I never learned whether
old- was in or not."
Some years later I heard talk of a receiver
about to lb appelntcd for the Arlington. I sup
pose the dignity of the proprietor was too
much for the concern. I should imagine that
the dignity of Itoessle could not be supported
on anything loss than the fortune of Crawus.
TUE R(1005 HOUSE
is a now venture and is located on Fifteenth
street, opposite the north end of the Treasury.
The house is simply a well-to-do brick affair
but the hills are strictly palatial. I am told
that it costs a dollar and a half to stand in front
of the Riggs and pick your teooth. The RiLggs
has not yet established a distinctive character
except for hiah prices-whioh is not a good
character to have in these times which try
men's souls. No newspaper correspondent can
stop within one block of the Riggs. The aver
a~e newspaper salary wodid not pay the tooth
pick bill.
I see I have alrnady exhausted the limits of a
letter. On some other occasion I will resume
the subject and devote a letter to chararteristlo
kneedotes and historical sketches concerning
these famous hotels. A. U. IB.

but in the reduction of thoeir prices.
There is nothing which pleases the eye more
and gives greater satisfaction tlan a well-fit

to obtain one, we have often wondered why
many persons are so carelessly attired.
An inspection of the suits now exhibited
by Messrs. Wheeler & Pierson, Nos. 12 an I

Inltest and most fashionabtle styles of suits,
and wi h the facilities they have in manufac
turing their own goods, there is no excuse for
not being eloegantly attired. A glance at their
card will show a partial list of articles they now
have for sale at reasonable prices.

- A Prominent Itepubllean's View of It
a and Indersement of the Nleholls
Administration.
Some days ago ex-Gov. Michael Hahn, the
Speaker of the Packard Leglslaturo, and a
recognized chief of the Republican party, rn
ceived a letter from a promlinnt Reopublican
I politician of Philadelphia and editor of a lead
a ing journal in that city, from which the follow
n Ilng extracts are taken:
"Oan you tell me anything about Loueisana
c oonsols as a safe Investment? Others and I have
d been watching them since you have Itwn settled
1 down by Mr. Ityes, and we have been told by
r certain brokers that they are good, and ought
tto be at par. What Is the dbtl of thr state. and
s what is the likelihood of repudlation? The
Southern States have a way of repudiating t hel r
;. debts that make investors shy of them. I know
- you are in a position to give good and trust
worthy information on this suhiect."
t To which Mr. Hahn gives the following reply,
of which he has furnished us a copy:
SNzw OanraANS, October t.1877.
d Mu Dear Sir--In reply to your lntter Inquiring
d as to the validity and solidity of the state scti
rities known as htate Jansols, 'I have to say
r that the funding act whlch was passed under
r the Repubhlican administration of the Stfate and
made a part of the constitution by an amend
Smeort thereof, has stood the test of the sevorost
t examination and hes proved one of the most
r suce ssful and complete funding acts which
I was ever enactod in any of the States. Its gunr
e antees are of the strongest and most impregna
ble character.
T The old debt of the State. after being sub
jected to a thorough sifting of all doubltful
claims and securities being referred to the
Soour t and roegularly adjudicated upon. has been
reduced to the sum or twelve millions, which
arerepresented by consolidated bonds bearing
7 per cent Interesr, and having forty years to
run from the 1st of January, s114. These bonds
are made a constitutional contrnat. The Legis
I latuer can never inquire into or repudiate the
same. A fixed tax oif 5. mills on the assess
ment of all the taxable property of the State is
set apart as a trust fund, requiring no auvro
priation by the Legislature to apply them to the
payment of the Interest semi-annually of these'
bonds. It is made a highly penal offense for
any State offieer to apply them to any other pur
pose. The obligation, so to keet'p this tax and
apply it as prescribed, has been Imposed on
onto of the largest and most responslble of tlhe
city banks, up to within a ftw months ago, and
is now imposed on anoither bank also plendidl
ly managed. 'The tax never pansses into the
btate treasury, but Is hold by the bank as a trust
fund, payable only to the holders of tthese
bonds.
The present State government has been care
ful to indicate and prove Iby its acts that it will
fulfill and dischargo all the bllgations of this
constltutional contract. It it scilnimed and re
fused to go into any inquiry in regard to alleged
illegal issues of conaols by previous adminfs
tratlons, but nasumed as consttutituonal and
conclusive contracts all those whil"h have boon
issued as consols. Human ingenuity could not
devise more complete securities for a State
debt or better guarantees agaInst repudiation.
The tax, which is fixed in the nnsfltut tion at a t,
mills, is amole to moot the interest, and tiht
total tax of 14 i mills is abundant for all the ex
penses of the State.
There are good reasons to believe thils tax will
be collected, and that It will be hones ly appllld.
The present. State administ ration, at the head of
whiaro is Governor Nicholls, has minifoest'd
thus far a I beral spirit to till classes of the poe
tile, and has declared its policy, and to a certain
extent has carried it out, of redueing the ex
fenses of the governmennt and administering
its a ,airs with inturl.y, punctuality and jus
tice to all.
From this rather extended statement of the
character and facts relative to o r State si
curittes, you and your friends must draw their
own conclusions as to the safety, value and cer
tainty of the consols of this State as an invest
ment.
Yours truly, etc. MICHAEL HAHN.
