Editor: The news of the serioua illness of ex-Senator Conkling In New York has caused a sensation at the National Capital such as has seldom been equalled, even upon occasions when the sudden Ill ness or death of prominent officials has been announced, and crowds haye contin ually beselgcd tho various newspaper and tclcgiaph otllccs eageily anticipating snch news as to his condition as could ba obtained. The dead-lock in the House of Repre sentatives which commenced on tho 4th Inst., was at last broke on Thursday, This happy result was accomplished by a united action on the part of the Democratic mem bers, who decided In caucus held on Wednesday evening to vote to postpone further consideration of tho direct tax bill until tho next session. To a person who has never ylsited tho House of Representatives during a pro tracted dead-lock, any newspaper account would coovey but a faint Idea of the dreari ness of the session. For an entire week the recent contest oyer the tax bill con tinued with no intermission, save two or three short recesses, and during the last 30 hours of the contest no recess was tak en, and every member was required to bo n constant attendance, and dining all this time absolutely nothing was accomplished, the entire time being occupied In voting upon motions to adjourn ami other filibus tering tactics. Senator Davis, of Minnesota, fully sus tained his reputation as an orator. In his maiden speech on IKeducsday last. Ho spoke on the bill relating to the admission of Dakota. Ills arguments were excellent, and ills speech was clear and forcible. He showed himself to be a valuable addition lo the Republican majority, and at the close of his remarks most ot tho Republi can Senators warmly congratulated him. Mr. Davis Insisted that for years the great Commonwealth of Dakota has been -uled her rights for simply party pur posesr i, .hUhattho time had arrived when "the question should be stripped of all pretense, evasion and sbam, and the rights of the people should be recognized. Last ll'ednesday was a memorable day for Georgetown. For many years there has been a bridge from that place to Virginia, hut an exhorbltant toll has been charged and this was a constant sourco of annoyance to tho people who wore re quired to frequently cross the bridge. Dur ing the last year however, the old struc ture has been torn down and a now one erected In its place, and on Wednesday was formally opened to the pu blic and de clared forever "free." For months the local papers have contained hints of the great time coming, and of course Washing ton has been Interested in the hrnln of her smaller neighbor. There were speeches, day and night fireworks and a monster procession renresentlnir tl, v.i. ous branchos of the regular army, civic societies, private and Dubllc schools ana uie department, jne wnole. wlndlne op w Ufa miles of wagons advertising the dlffereat branches of business; oh them could be seen at work wheelwrights, glove maker and blacksmiths, wbile others simply dis played specimens of their wares.
