NORRIS. WASHINGTON LETTER. From our Regular Correspondent. Washington, Dec. 30. The city h®* been more quiet during v*the present Congressional holiday va- than is usual at sneb times. GQuit# a number of Senators and Rep- iresenetives went homo to eat their Christmas dinners, the death of Sena tor Logan caused various proposed fes- itivitestobe abandoned, and rheuma tism has again kept the President pris oner, so that he has been compelled to forego eertain social entertainments given las honor. Today almost everybody of prominence in Washington attended the imposing -"funeral eeremouies of the distinguished dead, weich were held in the Senate Chamber. Camera! Logan and his ■wifa were giewbsj^of the ^Methodist ehurcb, end Rev, Dr. Norman, the ftfttshiogip? p*v#or of Gaq Grant, of ficiated at the funeral assisted by the Chaplain of the Senate, and the Rev. ( pr. Butler of the luthren church* The from the Capital to stag lei civic and mibtarf 3 *?^^ charge of Gen. Sheri- lan. „* - - jy v T This was the sfxth funeral that has taken place in the Senate chamber. The first was that of Senator Hicks of Maryland, the next Senator Foote of Vermont, then Hon. Charles Sumner, Vice Prasedent Wilson, ami last March Senator Miller from California. Among all fbe trihates that are paid to the deceased Senator’s, the honesty of his legislative life was lost sight of. In an are when corruption was rife, and when many of the strongest men •t both parries were bpokep down and iafeaxjtod hr public exposure or denun- .eia^ion, was alma* as fatal, Lo- gan.’escaped all those long year’s un touched even by suspicion. Although his p©liet*»eal friends accused him of being narrow in his prejudices some times, «vea tkey acknowledge that b£ was a firm, sincere friend vriio never atooped to hypocriey. The r«-nomination of Mathews, the colored lawyor from Albany, to be Re corder of Deeds in the District of Col umbia, promicesto become a celebrated eaae. Pres§ dent holds ^at since the Satiate rejected him last summer much of the opposition to Mathers’ appointment has been removed by the latter 1 a management of theoffi.ee. The Memoerate are indignant that the Res ident should have again seen fit .to ,senu in the name of this earpetbager from Albeny as they call him, and the Re publicans are watching with interest to see how fhe Senate will treat- the of the same nomines which it re jected last ses^ vn. In renomiuatiug Jfr. Mathew* the .President said to th* Senate, I have ventured in view of.tbe demonstrat ed fitness, of the nominee, and with the understaadiagthat the objections lwsre- tafore urged against his selootion have to a great extent subsided, and co»- foMuag a re hi -t<3ud*»» to oujr color ed citizens just recognition and the ut most good faith, to again submit this nomination to the Senate for confirma tion, at the same time dUelamipg liny inteotkra.to queaslon it* previous ac tion in the premise’ The matter will eauie a werin discussion soos, and it Is probable that Mr. Mathews wiU he rejected again. Congress did a good deal of work in the brief time that it convened before the holidays, and it should uot he se verely ©ensured if it were to do nothing more this session except to pass the regular appropriation bills. Stilt much more is projected. For instance, Rep resent^ ;y< Springer says ho will do all he eaa to pass his hilt eK*l>&ng the ter ritories of Dakota. Montana, New 20. Mexico and Washington to enter' the Union as states, aalhc thinks he may subject of marriage and divoce and whether oi uot any action will he taken on either of them, the questiou invol- e<i is one of great public imporiauncc and constantly increasing interest. One of these measures proposes a Con stitutional amendment for the estab lishment of uniform laws tbioughont the United States regulating marriage and divorce. The Whtie House patient has been refractory and consequently be is nol so well as he otherwise might have been. The President’s physician warn ed him to keep still and not expose himself to drafts, and both of these were disobeyed Then on Wednesday afternoon the President drove out to couutry place jn an open Victoria, wearing a light overcoat and caught soino yold. The Presedent’s trouble is a rhluna tic knee and .everything is being done u> prevent the disease from spreading, but, said the Doctor, no medical skill has erur been able to confine rhurna- tism to one part of the body. In the case of Gen. Logan it was the special aim of the physicians to keep it from the heart. While they succeeded in doing this, it attacked the brain. The President hopes, however, to be equal to the usual New Year’s day Yeceptiou at the Wdiite House. Eveu if he can not endure the entire two hours task, he proposes to receive until compelled by fa.igue to retire. Plum Branch. Dots.
