SATURDAY, JUNK 17, 1870.
[Special eoiTespon tie nee of tho \lorry Now ]
Washington, 1). C., Juno 12, 1870.
One naturally expects to find in a
Washington letter a lull account ot all
that in going on in that, city, and it
is anything out agreeable to a coitcr- i
pendent who regards truth to \>e compelled
to state the only topics that now
seem to possess a particle ol interest
in tho public estimation are the transactions
ol the various investigating committees;
the character ol the numerous
wit nesses and the amount ol weight to
be given to their testimony. It is an
undeniable I act that this whole lling
at, Mr. Maine originated with his own
party and was intended as a death
blow to his 1 'residential aspirations.
It seems to have acted much upon the
principle ol the Australian weapon,
i he lioomerrang. It is shaped much
like our old fashion reap hook and iu ,
the hands of an expert is a most for.
midabls weapon. It is apparently
thrown al a person some distance in j
front ol i lie party using it but is really |
aimed at tin* party or object many
yards in tin: rear and in Skillful hands j
siddom misses its mark. Hut in the
hands ol an awkward or earless operator
it often conies hack with deadly
cfleet upon the one who has thrown it.
So the weapon aimed at. .Mr. lllaine
appears to have flown hack and Smote
the part v w ho threw it.
Mr. lllanu in all prohrhility will be
the Republican nominee at Cincincinati.
Ol course the immaculate Rads j
are loud iu their denunciation ol the
D( mocratie House, hut the lllaine
party are pretty well aware pi lltei
origin ol the trouble. There has long
1 *i i j
been tin til feeling between Mr. lllaine
and Mr. Conkiing and it is reported |
that Saturday tit the Capitol Mr. Conkiing
evinced a disposition to have a j
reconciUiaiioti hut Mr. lllaine declined
to meet any advances.
There was a lively time in the
House Saturday. Slang expressions,
hitter personalties and flat contradio-I
Cons were mi pi eino. Mr. lllaine want- ,
ed to have tiie Caldwell dispatch print
cd with the other proceedings ol t he
Committee. and at a ouartei i>.i>t, tun
' . 1

gotii/.cd this l>y a motion to lay it upon
the tahle. Mr Blaino rendnded the
Chair (Mr. S. S. Cox) that yesterday
he promised to recognize him when
the pending matter (The (Jciieva

oh Mr. Cox overruled Mr. Blaine,
tat what ground asked Mr. Blaine. 1
have no grouml to ? xphiine said Mr.
Cox. I never knew a speaker to giv?>
the ground ol his decision said Mr. j
Blain. Alt*. (Ax seemed to lose his
temper and great excitement prevailed.
Air. John Voting Brown with a
degree o| vehemence said l'i want to
know it this is the American Congress?'*
Mr. Blaine said it was the
most, surprising Congress ever assent
bled. Alter some two hours spci'.t in
this st \ le Air. llnnlon's resolution to,

smiled placidly ami said to his coin- |

cheerfully .jingling a pair of
handcuff* in hi* pocket.
Mr. Maine turned white and then
rod, and his \ oico trembled a little, as
he said:
"Well, sir, what is your business
with me?"
"To come .at one to the point," said
the Devil, "I hold here a document
containing an agreement, or contract,
or bond, just as you please, by which
I furnished you with ability, skill,

"I remember, now," said Elaine,
ijuiekly, "I had almu^ forgotten your

since 1 was a member of the Maine
Legislature. How have you been,
r? 1 d lellow? Conic down to dinner and
bring your friend. Should like to
have you meet Sam Ward."
"Thanks," said the Devil, "but it
will be impossible. Easiness is business.
\ ou may remember that there
was a consideration mentioned in the
bond."
"I do recall something of the kind,"
stammered Elaine, nervously. "Eut
of eourse you don't mean to INhaw!
Why, I was vouiig then and didn't
? ' O
understand the nature ol a bond. I
was Iraudulently induced to sign the
paper. I besides it's Outlawed."
"Ii is not outlawed," answered the
Devil, firmly. "Everything is legal
and regular, and after mature deliberation
to band you over to my Undertaker
here."
The Devil's Undertaker stepped up
with a smile, .and a courteous nod to
Mr Elaine,
"Eut surely," continued Elaim*,
"you will l.ot enforce the bond. O,

W'ii .i a wave of his hand the Devil
rehired this piteous petition to the

"It is so nominated in the bond,"
said tin* Undertaker. "1 niii.-i insist
upon a slrie.l iuerprctation ol its provisisons."
"Let me retire into private life, into
obscurity, into oblivion," urged the
ex.Speaker.
"It will not do," said t he 1 nderlaker.
''I remember (aiming here under similar
circumstance just about four yeai*

"Certainly," s id l>laine, "I gi\'e

The paper passed into Mr. Maine's

The VoiniiT 31 oil for Tilden.
The efforts ol tho Tammany thieves
and ihe ('anal ring to make the peonlo
throughout the Union believe that ,
! Nil*. Tilden cannot carry the Statu of
New York have aroused in bis favor
: all classes of Democrats in the Km pi re
j State who do not belong to one or tho
other of the rings above named, nor to
' the clique of disappointed oHicw-seek!
ers. (in Monday evening 29lli ult.x
the Young Men's Democratic Club ol
New York City adopted the following
j resolution:
"Whereas, the Hon. Samuel J. Tilden
has by distinguished service in the
cause of reform proved himself eminently
worthy of the confidence of the
people, and well fitted lor the position
<d Chief Magistrate of the United
j States; and
"Whereas, we believe these senti'
ments are coincided in not only by a |
I large majority of the people of this
j State, who will continue to support
i him in the future as they have in the
, past, but also by the people through- J
j oui tlie entire land:
uJiesolvcd, That a committee of

A Solid and Reliable Front.
When F. J. Moses, Jr., and \V. J.

of t lie Slate of South Carolina in December
last, Coventor Chamberlain
: wrote that he anticipated the gravest
j consequences from it, one of which
would be the "immediate rcorganiza|
lion ol the Democratic party within
Hie Stale, as the only means left in the
judgment ol its members, lor opposing
a solid and reliable front to ihis
j terrible crevasse of mi ^government

I or mx months nothing lias happened
; w liieh should in any respect change
i or nu'dily this opin'on. The ''crevasse'
J still yaw ns, and the party is unchangI

A Hungry Jury.
While Judge Maher was holding the
Court of Common Ljjease in Barnwell
last week he was informed by the colored
jury that they had heen without
food all day; there was no money to
pay their tickets, and that they could
not get credit; whereupon the Judge
dismissed them with the remark that
lie hoped they would be able to elect
a county government in the fall that
would be able to avoid so disgraceful
a state of Affairs. The Judge further
said:
' Under the circumstances, I will b?
compelled to discharge you, for 1 cannot
keep you here in a starving condition.
But you see to what a condition
you have brought the country.
You are not without blame, for the
men in office, responsible, lor the stoppage
of the court, were put there by
your votes. Here we arc in the month
of May; there is no money to pay
your Judge, to pay jurors, to support
the prisoners in jail, or pay tho expenses
of the county. You colored voters
are responsible lor this thing, for by
your votes lite bad men who have
brought about this lamentable stale ot
allairs were selected."
