Washington Correspondence.
Washington, Dec. 28, 1872.
A happy New Year! and may yon hnve
as many of them as there are hairs on your
Journalistic caput, is the wish of " Yours,
Truly, whose ears at the present writing, are
!iL .1 :i *: 1?
ringing wuu wie Buvaijr nugic-uinj;io u? m<
merry bells as the handsome sleighing turnouts
dash past on Pennsylvania avenue^
from the Capitol to the White House. There
is a
CORNER IN POLITICAE NEWS
here, and it will continue until our Solons
come back from their holiday trips and get
to work aeain. From the short time?seven
weeks?which they will fiave from the re-assembling
until the end of the session, the
question of an extra session is being mooted.
WORRIED.
Since it has been determined that the
New York Tribune is not to be run in the
interest of the administration, the Court
Journals here seem to have the fidgets over 1
the matter, and every day or so, an article
appears in which the moral sense of the Tribune
subscribers is appealed to otoet pathetically.
First the rumor that Boas Tweed !
was the mooiod -power that bought Orton
out, gre*tly shocked them, aid now the report
that Jay Gould furnished the ducal a. ;
more than upsets the moral eqttipoM of the
Grant Barriers. The Tribute keeps on in I
the even tenor of itl %*jr, nor denies nor 1
admits anything. So the Jittrling curs hats
their yelping* for their paint, at there ading
public will not be deterred from enjoying
their Tabm* by the twaddle of the insignificant
Washington bogles.
THfc LTMX DRAWN.
Although the Grant organs in this city
bare no position in the newi^wporitl world,
nor does their feeble balderdash command
attention?yet they are almost unerring
guides as to what the desire of the administration,
or rather General Grant, are.?
That there was to be a change in the policy
)f the administration with regard to Cuba,
arts very evident from the tone of the President's
message. The spiritualists here,
:laim that the change was brought about by
i written communication being sent by Gen.
Rawlins, a well knowtt medium, urging thatj
lid be extended to the suffering Cubans.:
[t has generally been conceded that hnd
Rawlins' lived, his policy of aiding the Cu)ans
would have been adopted, as he had
rreat influence with the President, who aferwards
followed the Fish policy. The
Fay out of the trouble as to whom we shall
ecogniie as the belligerents has been found 1
iv Gen. Grant. It is that Spaiu, by the e
tuilding of a wall across the Island, admits a
hat her authority extends only that far and t
10 farther; so. all wc have to do, is to recog-. r
lizo the dominion of the Cuban insurgents s
ip to the wall now building, and by this j
troke of policy wc get our fingers in the t
?uban pic; but whether we will pluck out c
nyof the plums, remains to be seen. v
LOUISIANA MATTERS. t
The exceeding bad taste displayed by t
Secretary Delano in Accepting the excurions,
fetes, &c., that were gotten up in his I
lonor by Senator Kellogg and Collector Ca- *
cy, at New Orleans a few days since, while a
>11 route to Havana, has been severely criti- I
deed here, ft looks like a defendant in a 1
;ase having the judge and jury dine with s
liui during the pendency of the trial. The *
ast conundrum asked here is, How could 1
Fudge Durell. of New Orleans, after taking ?
he oath of allegiance to the Southern Con- *
edcracy, conscientiously take the iron clad t
>ath of 18C2, when he was appointed Uni- 1
ed States Judge by President Lincoln in 1
1863? It is more than probable that he c
;oi um >111 lujuiiciiuii ?<> rrnirmu hid wn- cience
from acting at that time, and to
vdge from his rec?nt behavior, he forgot to I
tave the injunction removed. The counter '
tatcmeot being prepared by the Radicals a
rere, aa an answer to tho calm, plain state- I
nent of facts made by the Louisiana dele- 1
Ration m to the condition of affairs in thut
Itate, will soon be ready. The greatest in- 1
oatice is being dona the delegation from (
Tew Orleans, by coupling the name of War- 8
nonth with the grievances of which they 1
omplaio. They care no more for War- 1
nonth than they do for Pinchbeck; they t
nerely desire an hon?st investigation into
he condition of things in their State?but 1
lotwihstanding their address has created eon- >
liderahle feeling against the President for '
lie course in that matter, nothing will cotlie
>nt of it; like every outrage against the people.

The female suffragists in Wyoming Ter- j
itory are very much exercised at the pro- I
posed annexing of the most thickly settled 1
wrtiou of that teritory to Caloradojn order 1
o bring the latter up to the requisite popu- i
ation for admission into the Union. If inlignant
and foreiblo protests will avail, the \
Vyouiingesc will not he locked info the t
'oloradians, and their fair ones be deprived t
>f the ballut, which they value so highly. <
INCREASED PAY FOR LETTER-CARRIERS. <
A bill will be presented to Congress in- i
rcasing the pay of letter carriers, mid it is 1
loped that it will receive prompt and favor- *
,1,1c consideration, as these hard worked and 1 <
faithful public servants who are brought itn- '
mediately In eontaet with the people, high (1
?id low. rich and poor, arc not sufficiently I
paid for their services. On entering the ser- i
vice they receive $8, and the limit is $10.
The proposition to give them $12, the pay
of a first-classclerk, will gqucralty meet with j
the approval of the public, even if some
skin flint Congressman, like Dawes, who imagines
he carries all the brains of his State
on his shoulders, should oppose it.
TOO PAST.
The President was a little too fast when
he appointod Saui Bard as Postmaster at
Chattanooga, and now holds bis commission
until the Senate takes action on a motion to
re-consider his confirmation.
" WILL STICK.
The visit of the President to his father at
Covington, Ky., was partly filial and partly
business. He wants the old gentleman to
resign on account of age, &c., but the father
is very much like the son. and he won't give
op.
COMPULSORY VOTINO.
The Radicals have the impression that the
stay at homes on election days are of their
kind, and are seriously contemplating the
introduction of a bill in Congress making the
neglect to rote punishable by fine or imprisonment.
What next?
8trono law firm.
The many friends of Hon. James M,
faranaugh, of Montana, S. K. Hennisran
son of the former distinguished Senator from
Indiana; and Geo. Gray, Esq., of Milwaukie,
will be pleased to learn that they hare formed
a co-partnership here for the practice of
law and the prosecution of claims in ths departments.
Mr. Cavanangh's reputation is
national; his friends are ererywhere, and
with hia ability and energy in connection
with his able associate# there can be no doubt
of brilliant success.
Self Deception.?The reader# of hist, ry
tnd biography are often startled at the singular
ignorance of themselves, displayed by
imineat men, literary or political leaders of
their nation and age. Dr. Holmes says in
>ne of hia witty papers, that every man has
three character#?-first, as he looks at him*
iclf; second, u he looks on others; third,
is he is in reality- Only the omniscient eye
<? detect the latter in its true proportions;
>nt between the first and second, there is ofen
a world-wide difference. Some of the
ronlrasts between estimates of self, recorded
n diaries and correspondence, and the judg-;
nents passed by society, iney interest us
well as amuse.
Phillip, the Second, of Spain, lives in hisory,
as one of the most remorseless of ty ants.
His butcheries, in eold blood, of
housands of tioble incn and women, for no
rime, but for a difference of religious opinons;
his many wars, with reckless waste of
ifc and treasure; and his deliberate treaohry
in negotiations and treaties, give him
i foremost place among the monsters whom
he world detests. Mr. Motley gi*es a terible
verdict, which receives a generi) asent:
" If Phillip possessed u single virtue,
t has eluded the eonuc iantiuuu miiinnli i4he
writer of these pages. If there are vies?as
possibly there are?from which he
vas exempt, it is because it is not permitted
o human nature to attain perfection even
n evil."
It would seem impossible that one who
troke his word and oath without scruple, and
rhosc reign impoverished his own kingdom
md deluged Kurope with blood, could im>ose
on his conscience a good opinion of
limself. But no saint or martyr ever had
uch a lofty view of his purity of life and
inglencss of aim as this abhorred tyrant.
!Ie said of himself on his death-bed, "In
ill my life, I have never consciously done
rrong to any one. If ever I have commitcd
an act of injustice, it whs done unwitingly,
because deceived by circumstances "
le told his soil to observe closely his father's
ondilion, that when he was laid low, he
night have a conscience void offence.
Robespierre, the tyrant of the French
{evolution, revelled in bloodshed. The
rork of the guillotine gave him daily joy,
ind with an unsparing hand he sent to the
dock, genius, rank, wealth and beauty, if
hay stood in the way of his ambitious
chemes. One finds much to admire in the
iims of the Girondists, and can look with ;
haritv on some of the crimes of the impul- J
ive Marat, or the large-hearted Dautoo ; |
)0t the narrow-minded, cold, selfish Robepicrre
awakens universal abhorrenoe. But
bis monster of crime, said coolly of himelf;
" Posterity will sustain the award of
ny own conscience, that I hare been unselfsn
in my desires, patriotic in my aims, and
>enevolent even in my severities."

Hiohi.t Flavored Snobbery.?Feshonable
society, if we are to credit that very
Jenkinay" paper, the Home Jovruat, has
idopted a great improvement. Either through
sxcesa of insipidity, or lack of intelligence,
wciety has now found it necessary for its
ncmhors to know each other by the sense of
unell. llence the following fragrant paragraph,
published in all seriousness:

Her memory is embalmed in my heart

but I found that I could embalm hcrmemory

But she rallied last spring, and his hopes
were blasted. Never shall I forget the poor

it. "Take it, Skinner, and may you never

The Champion Df.ao Beat.?Sergeant
Bates, the champion dead beat Of North
America?the individual who won a considerable
some of money on a wager that he
could carry the Union flag all through the
South unmolested, has just taken in another
bet? of a thousand dollars, by marching Wii*
through Scotland and England, from Glasgow
to Guildhall, in Lodon, bcaringaloll the
same banner he carried through the Southern
States.
Th? flattering reception which this notorious
dismounted dragoon met with from the
JUuchncys ia_tjius related in the London
Trfrtjrtij> A/and mu?t havo ratisnl the heart
of Bates to glow with patriotic fire.
"But the circumstance of every window
being full of faces, one might have said that
all the population had turned into the streets.
From roof, tree and parapet, from casement
and balcony, jutted fbrth frequent counterparts
of that banner which had been brought
across tho Atlantic by the redoubtable sergeant;
and at intervals were seen the royal
standard of England and the Union Jack.
The oi>en barouche at the door of the hotel
was converted into a close carriage, as the
rain seeuied less and less inclined'to relent.
Mounted outside the vehicle were the American
and British colors, one flag on either
side. A postillion rode one of the two grays,
and the horses' heads were decked with the
stars and stripes. Having waited till twenty-five
minutes past the hour of eleven, to
givo the rain a chance of holding up, Sergeant
Bites and his companions emerged
from the hotel, protected by a party of police,
and entered the carriage. The real,
veritable banner which tho Sergeant had
borne from Gretna to London was carried in
his hand; that affixed to tho exterior of the
barouche being merely a duplicate ensign.
The carriage at first got awav at a paco sufficient
to afford the principal occupant a litj
tie reapite from manual exercise; but its
progress waa impeded as the crowd grew
denser, and proposals were again and again
urged by the gathering throng that the
horses should he taken out and the carriage
drawn by muscular admirers and friends.
This offer was repeatedly negatived,but near
the Piccadilly end of Bond street, .by which
thoroughfare the carriage had turned southward
from Oxford street, the multitude hid
their will. Theuee down St. James street
j and along Pall Mall, whers the Sergeant
| saluted each of the military dubs in passing.
| the carriige was pulled along rapidly by the
j crowd?so rapidly, indeed, that Guildhall
I was reached half an hour before the appoint;
ed time of two o'clock. Here the assemblage
! was cn-eat and demonstrative. A ceremonf
r ^ ? -- B
was gone through of dipping the British and
and Fnited States flags toward one another,
so as to make them 'kins' and the Sergeant
planted the Stars and Stripes in the middle
of Guildhall yard."
Beau IItckman.?A Washington paper
gives thes? reminiscences of Beau Hickman :
Upon one occasion he arrived at the springs
only to find another Beau installed before
him. Cogitating on the distressing fact, he
chunccd to meet his riv.il, who called his
servant and commanded . "Bill, lay out my
number eight vest, my number eleven co:it,
and my number sixteen pants." Whereu|>on
Beau called his servant and said : Sam. lay
out my number onc'hundrcd and fourteen
vest, my number ninety six coat, ami my
number a hundred and eighty pants, for me
to drive in." His rival, overwlielnieil hy
thoHe high figures, left the next day 1
Heing penniless on one oecasion about dinner
time, he walked into "fJadshyV (now
the Washingtonput his cap in his pocket
entered the dining room, ate his dinner,
ufter an exaggerated American fashion, (doe
(Jnrgery would have said he '-bolted it."]
went to the hat rack and selected one of the
best, walked to the depot, and took the train
which wits stalling for Haltiutore. When the
! conductor came around he found Beau lean
ing out of tbo window intontly^studying the
r landscape.
i - He gave him a push to acquaint him with
t his presence, but the landscape held him en)
tranced. He gave him another, harder than
) the first; "when Beau came in so suddenly
? as to knock bis new hat off. He then got
into an angry dispute with the conductor,
saying, "it s a new nat, just Dougnt, ana naa
; the ticket in the band," and demanded the
, money for the hat, which the conductor
r finally paid him, and thus Beau obtained his
dinner, a ride to Baltimore and money enough
i for a new hat by that fast growing acquirement
called "cheek."
i A somewhat ludicrous scene occurred in
one of the large dry goods stores in Troy the
other evening. Three ladies entered the
store for the purpose of examining some
ready-made suita. In the department devoted
td this class of goods several "dummies"
are used, upon which different styles of goods
are displayed. One of the ladies walked up
to one of the "dummies" and commenced to
feel the dress which covered it. Supposing
it was placed there as a sample, she handled
it pretty thoroughly, and then called the attention
of her companions to it. One of the
others also felt of the stuff, and remarked:
"Why, that's a homely stripe." The third
lad? followed by saying: "It won't pay for
makinw on." Whereunon the "dnmmv"
turned her head and sailed, to the utter as*
tonishment and mortification of the ladies in
question, who discovered that instead of a
'dummy" sample, they had been criticising
the drees of a real, lire woman. Explanations
and apologies followed in profusion.
Since Lucca's departure from Berlin
several spicy anecdotes of the lively prima
donna have been going the rounds of the
prase. During a rehersa) of 'L'Afrieaine"
the celebrated German tenor, Waehtd, once
a postboy, oallsd the charming canatrice "a
little Jewess," a complement she returned
by telliughim that he was a '-'low cabman."
At litis Waohtel became dreadfully. excited
and annoyed, and so far forgot himself an to
lay hands on his fair antagonist, who, howevor,
left a glowing impression of her hand
upon his face. She refused to sing with him
in the evening, as ho had to kiss her in the
opera, and she was afraid that he would bite
her nose off. Matters were smoothed over,
however, and instead of biting her gave her
an ardent and repentant hug that she will
never forget.
Geoorapaical Puzzle.?For breakfast
take a cape of Mssachusetts and let it souk
all night; then shns^up fine and cook in a
river in Montand. This and some harbors
of New Jersey will bj the principal warm
dishes. Some may like with these a rive*
r>f Vermont, very thin and well seasdhed.
It will be necessary to go to a mountain
in Washington Territory for an indispensable
article of food, and five-eights of a
little town in Wisconsin, well stewed, without
scorching, will be sufficient in the way of
fruit. Such a breakfast may be very cheerful,
if every one politely gets upon a cape of
North Carolina to see that each is well helped
and cared for.
Farming as a Business.?The following
is from the Farmer apd Artium : "A
man who is uot smart enongh to run a store,
is not smart enough to run a farm. Farmers are
not to be made of what is left after lawyers,
doctors, ministers, and merchants are picked
out; and if a man fails on a farm it is not
likely he will succeed in a store, for it requires
more talent to be a thriving, farmer thau to
be an average merchant. The one cause of
great value is the disproportion between a
man's farm and his capital. A farmar's capi
tul is skill, labor, and his money. If he bos I
little cash, bo must have no more land than
he can thoroughly manage by his own personal
labor. Every acre beyond this is an enounibrance;
one acre well worked, is more
frofitable than twenty acres skimmed over,
t is this greed of land by farmers that have
not the capital to keep it, that keeps so many
poor, Ismail farms are bettter than large
ones, simply because they are better suited
to lb* capital of common farmers. Large
farmers with large capital, are better than
sins 11 ones. Farming is a good business for
aU men who conduct it on proper principles,
arid have capital according to the aise of their
farms, and a bad one for everybody else."
Keep the Cattle Growing.?The most
success/hi b eeders of horses, cattle, shsep
or swine, know from experience, that although
tltey may possesss the best breeding
animals, tbey will not be successful in producing
superiorlitock if a continual growth
of young animals is not kept up. In order
to begin in time at this indispensable preparation
lor success, the brood mares, cows, ewes
and sows arc most carefully and suitably fed
while with young, and as soon as the young
1 M|an
amuini.s make lueir appearance, nicy
taken the greatest caro of, the dams being
suitably fed while suckling, and when the
young ones are weaned, they arc not supposed
to want fur l'ood or drink a sipglc hour.
Ry this moans a continuous or vapid growth
is kept up, and the animals attains a large sir.e
and heavy weight at an curly age. When
breeding animals are not properly fed and
eorutortably sheltered in winter, the bad
' effect of such treatment is not confined to
their own want of condition4^- it is sharod bv
their progeny, and can never be remediated.
When young stock nro not fed well and
ciunfortnbly sheltered in wiubtr. their growth
1 becomes stunted, and no subsequent
amount of good treatment can repair the
damage. Young animate may suffer lor
proper prevender in summer and autumn, as
well as in winter, and wh<en this happens it
i stops continuous growth and prevents ulti?

THE FACULTIES OF DOGS.
From the London] Quarterly Review.
A little reflection shows that a dog approaches
a man much more nearly in the
matter of feeling than either of physical or
mental characteristics. It is a startling fact,
well brought out by Jesse in a synopsis of
the dog's attributes, that there are rery few
human passions which a dog does not share.
The dog feels anger precisely as we do,
and after provocation is sometimes vindic- .
tive and sometimes placable, according to liia
individual character. He is susceptible of
hatred of the bitterest bind. He is so excruciatingly
jealout, that his life becomes a
burden in the presence of a favored rival.
His envy continually leads him to eat what
he does not want lest another animal should .
take it, and to illustrate the table of " The
Dog in the Manger." Gluttony holds out
to him temptations under which even his
honesty sometimes succumbs; but on jhe
other hand, from drwdctnneM he is nobly
emancipated. A dog mentioned by the Kev.
Thomas Jackson, having once been made so
drunk with malt liquor that he was unable
to walk up stairs, ever after declined to taste
the pernicious beverage, and growled and
snarled at the sight of a pewter pot. Again,
as to love, Don Juan was a cold and unenter*
prising oharacter, oompared to a dog; and
as to maternal affection, the mother-dog feels
it with heroic passion, start ng to death rather
than forsake her offspring. Gratitude may be
almost said to be a dog's leading principle,

master, and over after frwonciling him with,
true magnanimity to take evil from the hand
from whioh he has accepted good. Regret
aod arief he feels eo deeply that they often
break hia heart. Fear ia a passion which
dogs exhibit with singular variation, some
breeds and individuals being very timorous,
and others perfect models of conmge; the
latter characteristic fortitude seeming to
be more characteristically canine. A greyhound
has been known, after breaking his
thigh, to run ou until his course was concluded
; and in the excellent volume, " On the.
Dog," by Idstone/is a frightful story of a
f'ox-hoand, whom its ferocious master flogged
so savagely for "babbling," as to cut out
its eye with the whip.. The animal continued
to hunt with Ihe pack till the end of +
the chase, whereupon the human brute, a
certain Colonel Thornton, took out bis scissors
and severed the skin, by which the dog's
eye hung daring the entire run. As to
hope, no oue can observe the dog watching
for his master's step, as in Landseer's picture
of " Expectation/' without admitting *
that he knows the sentiment as well as we.
Pride in a successful chase may be witnessed
in every dog, and even quickened in the
heart beats of a greyhound when caressed
and praised. That dogs have personal vanity
wwais from tha fact that they are so
manifestly (fUjaSfcd aw# demoralised when
dirty and ragged by long exposure, and recover
their self-respect immediately, on being
washed and combed. Chivalry and
magnanimity may nearly always be calculated
upon in dogs, and wife-beating is an offence
to which the four-footed beast never
descends. The stories arc endless of big
dogs overlooking the insults of small curs,
or taking them into water and giving them a
good dacking as a punishment for their impertinence,
and then helping them mercifnlly
back to land. Sense of property bifurcating
into both coretomnegs and avarice, is
common to all dogs. The kennel, rug, collar
or water-basin once devoted to his use.
no dog can see transferred to another without
indignation. -Frequently he "covets
his neighbor's house," and attempts to ensconse
himself in it surreptitiously; and almost
universally he covets his. neighbor's
bone, and purloins it if be dare. Even from
avarice he cannot be wholly exonerated, observing
his propensity to bury his treasures.
Shame, after transgressing any of tlfli arbitrary
rules imposed on him, a dog displays
with ludicrous simplicity; but of the deeper
sense of violated modesty which in human
beingB accompanies the commission of sin, he
evidsntly, knows nothing. Humor, so far as
it can proceed without language, the do<*
catches readily from a humorous master, and
also the enjoyment of suoh gemot as he can
understand. As a baby crows with glee at
" Bo-peep," so a dog barks with delight At
" gofeteh." Makes believe runs and frlse
starts, romps and tickling, rolling him up in
rug* tod lotting biro bod bit way out, thro**
iog a ball for him to oateh on tb? gnat, or a
stiok to fish out of the lake, all supply him
with pleasures perfectly analogous in their na*
tun to (hat which boys and men find in Blind
Han't Buff and Prisoner's Base, lordly cricket,
and lady-like croquet. Lastly. faith in a
loved superior, it perhape the most beautiful
aod affecting of all the attributes of a
dog. Whose heart doee not grow aick at
the reflection that this sacred trust of the
dog in man should be so often betrayed. that
dull boors should lnro him by uiock
words of encouragement to the death (to him
so slow and agonising) of the halter; and
that far worse .vrejehes, in the guise of cultivated
gentlemen, should first fondle and
