The death of Williams, of Michigan, and
Dowjlas, of Virginia Department Clerks
happy Mayard Taylor's successor, tc.
WasiHNOIOs, Dee. 23, 1878.
During the pist week of Congressional by
play tho galleries (which wero unusually
full of strangers) were more than once heard
to murmcr that our republican form of gov
ernment la tho bano of statemanship, and
that tlio generation of great men Is past for
ever. It is aggravating to hear tho oldest
inhabitants descant on times when ho heard
Clay,Cass, Calhoun, Webslcr,Bcnton,W right,
Pierco, and thcircompeorsdebatingand ora
ting. " Tempore mutantur, ci tios mutamur
in illis." Now It Is a positlvo boro to pass
much tlmo at Iho Capitol, which nobody
will Inflict upon himself unless necessity
compels It. If tho Greenback element In tho
next Houso cannot accomplish anything
else, it should at least resolvo to " stir up tho
animals" and call out their colleagues to tho
footlights of publio observation, rcrchanco
tlicro may bo any number of Ciccros, Anth
onys, Wcbstcrs, and Clays dormant from
fcrco of circumstances and "because tlio times
aro out of joint," hiding their luminaries
under a bushel of stale points of order. The
honorable 8pcaker and tho Commlttco on
Appropriations consume most of tho tlmo In
tho House,and when a, member has carefully
prepared a speech on miy particular subject
ho rarely has a chance to deliver it; if he
docs, it is nn evening session to empty
benches. Perhaps this may save time, (to
bo frittered away in Idle wrangle and re
pealed roll calls,) but it Is a grave mistake.
Tho country is growing- restive under the
dictatorial hammer of the Speaker, and the
constituency want o discover tho merits of
their members by'some other means than
the printing of a speech in the Record that
has never been uttered in'lhe House or nar
rated in tho newspapers. It was the living
eloquence and almost- inspired .speeches of
tho statesmen of early days that piloted the
republic, through dangerous waters and
placed her on a firm foundation.
On Saturday tho death of General Alphcus
S. Williams, Congressman, from tho Detroit
district of Michigan, was followed yesterday
by the demiso of Congressman Boverloy
Douglass, of Virginia, a't tho National Hotol
in this city. Mr. Douglass, in his sober
movements, was a man of intelligence and
ability, and highly esteemed by all who
know him. About. three years ago tho fatal
passion took possession of him, and since
then ho rarely appeared in his seat In a pro
per condition to discharge his duties when
in the House. He frequently became so de
monstratiyo ns to seriously interfero with
tho public business, and then his fellow
members would coax him out of tho hall.
Every effort was mado to save him by his
family and friends, but to no purpose. His
defeat for tho Congressional nomination nt
tho last clection,an event due entirely to his
intemperance, weighed heavily upon him,
and to drown his disappointment ho took to
his cup worso than over. His sad fate
awakens Iho deepest sympathy, and is tho ab
sorbing topic in political circles.
Tho Executivo has taken tho cuo' from tho
legislativo'branch, and tho army of men nnd
women employed in tho Departments aro
anticipating a few days of pleasure and ro
spito from tho tread mill. They get the
whole of Christmas and Now Year's day and
a half day proceeding each oftbeso anniver
saries: besides they are allowed tho half of
each day from tie 20th to tho 31st inclusive,
They aro permitted to arrange this timo
among themselves, so that if, for Instance
tlicro aro ten clerks in a division, five will
take tho.wholo of tlireo days, tho other five
remaining on duty all day, and vica versa
when " turn about in fair plaj'." Thus tho
Government business is not retarded to any
one's inconvcnienccind everybody is happy.
Tlio vacancy in tho mission to Germany
has temporarily, at least, raised tlio cxpec-
tationsof such of our leading men as happen
to bo out of office. Bayard Taylor's remains
wcro hardly cold in death, before tho un
becmly seramblo began, aud tho candidates
already put forward can bo numbered by tho
dozen. It can bo authoritatively stated
howevor, that neither tho President nor
Secretary Evarts has given the subject tho
slightest consideration. A great deal has
been said about tho probability that a citi
zen of Pennsylvania or New York will be
selected, and somo havo gone so far as to as
sert that the former Stato will certainly sup
ply the new Jfinister to Germany. Thoso
best informed in such matters inclino to a
contrary opinion, and do not think that
cither New York or Pennsylvania will secure
tho prize. The reasons they assign for theii
belief aro not-.without weight. They con
tend that New York, having the Secretary
of Stato ami tho Minister to Russia (Stough
ton), cannot justly bo accorded more posl
Hons of prominence in the diplomatic scr
vieo. As regards Pennsylvania, it is claim
cd that sho has tho mission to England, and
is therefore barred from attaining tho present
vacancy. There is 6omo forco in this, and
upon reflectiort it would seem that tho
chances are rather adverse than favorablo to
New York or Pennsylvania. A report.
among countless others, has .been circulated
that Senator Christiancy is being vigorously
urged by strong influences. It is no secret
that for a year or two back tho friends of
Zach Chandler have been striving to bring
about tho retirement of Mr. Christiancy from
the Senato in order that tho "stalwart Mich
igandcr" might rcsumo his old position.
Tlicso gentlemen think that the German
mission, if they can persuado tho President
to tender it to him, is an Inducement Mr.
Christiancy will not readily discard.
No better weather for Christmas shopping
