MR. LK DRO, Commissioner of Ag
riculture at Washington, wants his
Bureau convertetl into an Executive
Department, and its official head dig
nified as a cabinet officer. What ad
vantage will accrue, or how it will ad
vance the agricultural interests of the
country to place the official bead of
this office in the cabinet as one of the
political family of the President, we
cannot conceive. Perhaps our vision
may be obtuse, but we have an idea
that good practical common souse uni
ted to a thorough knowledge of the in
terests intended to be fostered, as far
removed from the wrangles of party
and cares of succession a* possible, is
more desirable. Mr. Le Due may pos
sess these qualities in an eminent de
gree. If so, his direct a*ociation with
all the other interests of the govern
ment and of party, will only cripple
his usefulness in the promotion of the
great interest, for which large expen
ditures arc annually made, and which
the new departure would greatly in
crease. We are in fuvor of letting
"well enough alone."
THE New York World pertinently
remarks that in electing Garfield to
the United (States Senate the Ohio Re
publican* "have cho?en the ablest man
aud cleverest politician entered by
them for the prize. Mr. Garfield's
talents no one can refuse to recognize,
and he has served his party faithfully,
Mr. Stanley Matthews, in all other re
sj>ects at least Mr. Garfield's peer, has
never acquired any real hold on his
party, and tlie perpetual Republican
candidate who counts that year lost in
which be does not have a nomination of
acme sort, Mr. AlphonsoTaft, ia a man
of small calibre and less independence.
Mr. Dcnnison, though perhaps not so
able a man as Mr. Garfield, has a ao
much better "record" that hia failure
to carry off' the honor will be regretted
by citizens whose only interest is to
see each party put its most creditable
foot steadily forward. Mr. Garficld'a
name has been too closely associated
either through hia fault or his misfor
tunes with some of the worst scandals
of the Graut epoch for nou-partisau
people to regard hia nomination with
complacency, while the weakness he
displayed last summer, when he either
did not know bis own mind on the
important questions then before Con
gress and the people, or allowed him
self to lie cajoled or bullied out of
speaking it, does not encourage the
hope that in the Senate he will lie
anything but what he has been in the
Douse—at bis best a clever, active,
alert and not very candid partisan.
Mr. Garfield's anxiety to get into the
Senate, by the way, is curiously incon
sistent with his reported belief that
the next House will elect a Republi
can Speaker."
IXTTSa FROM WASHINGTON.
From our regular Corrnft}oident.
WAHHINOTON, I). C., Jan. 12, IHBO.
Congress drag* iU alow length along.
Neither House has got warmed up to
its work as yet, and beyond the intro
duction of bills and transaction ot rou
tine business, has not made much of a
record. The members and .Senators
dropped into their seats on the (sth as
quietly us if at labor on the . r >th, and, as
usual, consumed the morning hour with
routine matters. Motions to adjourn
then prevailed in respect to the memo
ry of Senator Houston, of Alubama,
who died during the rocess. The ele
phant, which the House has on hand
in the shape of the new codo of rules,
submitted by the Committee on Rules,
is a huge one. No one disputes the
necessity which exists for a careful re
vision and pruning out of the obsolete
and unnecessary provisions of the old
code, but how to do it without treading
on the corns of the various committees,
is a serious problem. The Republi
cans, of course, will resist amendment,
inasmuch us their only parliamentary
strength lies in the complications found
in the present rules, and this opposi
tion, if unfortunutely backed by that of
Democrats who are too sensitive on
grounds of etiquette, may lead to most
undesirable amendments, tien. lilack
burn well said that, if technicalities
were to govern the question of adopting
the code, as submitted, no conclusion
would ever be reached by the House.
The agony which has exercised the
faithful who wanted to serve the coun
try as our city postmaster, with ti.OOt)
a year attached, has been ended by the
appointment of an Ohio man to the po
sition. A Mr. Angier, a clerk in the
(Jeneral Post-oHice Department, is the
lucky uspirant, and but for bis relation
ship to Hayes, lightning would have
struck bim before be could have be
come our postmaster. His Fraudulen
ey can prate about civil service reform,
ami all such preposterous humbugs, but
when any of bis relations want otlice,
as in this instance, lie apjxvint* without
the slightest regard for his past utter
ances. Is it fraud or diplomacy ? Hayes,
like (irant, doubtless feels that he is
bound to care for the relatives, both of
himself and wife, "even to the third
degree." lie also appointed a Mr.Cork
hill, of lowa, as our District Attorney,
inasmuch as Corkhill lias no legal abili
ty, and doesn't know the difference be
tween a law book and a medical trea
tise, if both are bound in calf, we are
ill a maze as to what ilis praudulenry
means in giving us such ruler*.
The resilience of Mrs. ex-Senator
Stewart, of Nevada, was recently nearly
destroyed by tire. ''( 'a* lie Stewart," as
it is fnmilinrly called, has been one of
our curiosities, hence it* partial con
struction has excited more than ordi
nary interest. Senator Stewart was one
of the so-called "Real Palate Ring,"
which, purchasing large areas of vacant
grounds in "West F.nd" in 1870, in
duced the investment, by the Uritish
government, of several hundred thous
and dollar* in the purchase of lot* from
Iheru and erection of a resideuce and
office for its minister and embassy. Mr.
Stewart followed with hi* oastie, expend
ing on it at least £>.">o,ooo. Other mem
bers invested largely in house*, and, a*
a consequence of their shrewd man
agement of capital, so strong an impet
us was given to real estate in that sec
tion of the city that our aristocracy
adopted it as the fashionable quarter*,
and have nearly covered it with costly
residence*. Hundreds of a;res of com
mons which, during the war were oc
cupied only with sparse hut* and shair
tie* of those who herded their cuttle
and gont upon them as public pastur
ages, are now covered with stately
dwelling house* that a plebian hardly
dare enter on any pretext. fatle
Stewart stands a monument to mark
this change, which has given Washing
ton ita best ornament—true progres*—
and though reverses have since render
ed the Senator bankrupt, and sent him
back to his practice of law for his daily
bread, we here can hare only the kind
liest of feelings for him. It i curious
to note the depreciation which has oc
curred in the value* of the household
furniture and decorations of Castle
Stewart. Though coating over SIOO,-
000, when new, an appraiser now esti
mates them to be worth altout $20,000.
I.ace curtaina that cost SI,OOO a pair in
I'aria, in 1871, are valueless, of course,
and ao with much which gave the "Cms
tie" ita palatial features when the Sen
ator was in the height of bi* glory. His
"gorgeous temple' has faded to him,
but to ua it, and an everlasting benefit
remains.
We alluded, last week, fo Miss Mor
ton's attempt to aboot the son of Mens
tor Morgan, of Alabama. Since then
she has been admitted to bail, Mrs.
llelva Lockwood becoming her surety,
and ha* been provided with a comfort
able home by Mrs. Spencer, who, with
other so-called strong minded women,
took her in charge, as she waa in a ne
cessitous condition. Mis* Horton al
lege* against Morgan not only seduction
and breach of marriage promise, but
the vilest persecution since she came
here to enter suit against him. She
got a place in the Treasury and lost it
through hia charges. Wherever she
went went to a boarding house, he fol
lowed her with slander ami had her
turned into the street, and to such ex
tent did his persecution go that she
waa driven to desperation, so that she
felt irresistibly impelled to kill him.
Another allegation ia, that she was
promised relief if *he would return
him the letters he wrote her, and on
wbioh she based her suit for damage*.
Iler statement* are implicitly believed
by those who have befriended her, and,
it true, one nan hardly resist the wish
that her bullet had not failed to do it*
intended mission.
A white man waa robbed and mur
dered on the 7th inat., in one of our
somewhat thiakly-settled streets, and
near his place of busineea, by soma ne
groe*. Nome women heard the blows and
struggle, hut were unable to get assist
ance to the victim until ao badly bea'.en
that he died in about an hour after the
po'ice arrived. Every pocket waa rifled,
showing robbery to have been the ob
ject of the assault. It may be noted
that the great majority of ofTenoea
against person and property here have
been committed by colored person*,
and the query i* often beard, should
not inoro summary punishment be met
ed out to the transgressor*'( The ne
groes number about one third of the
population, and yet they commit much
more than half the crime*, such us theft,
burglary, and murder, a disproportion
not much calculated to give exalted
idea* of their honesty snd linrmlessiiess.
A few broken-down political hacks and
poverty-stricken white* are clamoring
for tho restoration of popular suffrage
in the District, so that political power
may again he given this Has* of danger
ous people, who swarm in "Murder
hay," "Hell's bottom," and othcr
eupbonio'isly-named slums, where life
is hardly safe in daylight, and who,
when we were cursed with universal
sntl'rage, turned out in mobs on election
day to vote into office men of their own

It is the lawyers, after all, who rule
this glorious country ol ours. The Sen
ate ol the United States consists of 70
member*, and of this number 5'J are
practising lawyers. <>f the 2'J3 mem
bers of the House of Representatives
21'J are lawyers. The President and
Vice President of the United Stales are
lawyers, and nearly all Ihe Government
department are beaded and directed
by the same profession. In the Seriate,
especially among the Senator* them
selves, each member's ability is gauged
by his runk as u lawyer. When the
Hiatus of an incoming Senator i under
discussion the remark is very frequent
ly made: " He is M fine lawyer and will
make a good Senator." Because the
man i* a good lawyer, the supposition
with Senator* is that he must therefore
he u first-class statesman. Why the
people of the United Stale* give auch
preference to the profession of the law
in selecting their legislators and ruler*
is a pioblem that cannot he unswered.
In the Senate there i only I physician,
anil in the Hotie there are but ft.
There are among the Senators 8 busi
ness men or merchants, 1 doctor, i ed
itor, 2 planters, 2 farmers, 1 hanker, 1
mine owner and operator, and 1 of no
profession or business.
Senator Hamlin is the oldest member
of that body in year*, and the oldest in
point of service, counting from the time
of his first election. Senator Anthony
has been longer in continuous service
1 ban any otiier Senator. He first took
his scut in 1 H.->y, and has been regularly
re electeil at the expiration of each
ter.n ever since, Mr. Hamlin, who i*
now over seventy years of age, first took
his seat in 18-18, but he subsequently re
signed w hen elected Governor of Maine,
lie was, however, re-elected to the
ate immediately after being inaugurated
a* Governor, and afterwards again re
signed to become Vice Pre-idenl of the
United States, Mr. Bruce, of Mississip
pi, is the youngest Senator, not being
y< t thirty-nine years of age. Senator
Fdmunds, of Vermont, i. by many sup
posed to be the oldest Senator because
of bi* *p[>ear*nte, but in fact thpre are
but few who are younger than be. ILj
is not yet fifty-two years of age, but bi*
hair and beard are gray, snd a stooping
posture that he assume* make* him at -
near much older than he really i*.
Senator* Kdmund* and Thurmsn are
generally ranked a* the be.t lawyers
in that body,and in their political par
tie* respectively they are usually ac
cepted as authority upon question* of
management or policy.
in past times members of f'ongre**
who distinguished themselves by a care
ful watching of appropriations have
been designated as "watch-dogs of the
Treasury. Senator Kdmund* might
very appropriately he called the guard

Mr. Kdmund* procure* a copy and ac
quaint* himself with ita provision*. He
keep* track of every measure, no mat

defect in it or room for an objection be
will present it when the matter get*
before the Senate. He i* an indefati

to which i referred a very large pro

espeoi*{ly all tho*e which involve ques

Beside* the 210 lawyer* in tho House
there are 25 merchant*, 5 bankers, 3

2 teachers, 12 farmer*. C physicians, 1

Among the most *olemn of the pon
derous utterance* of Ihe Republican
State convention of New York in 1875,
wtt the emphatic declaration of "un
alterable opposition to the election of
any President for • third term." In
May, 1876, the Pennsylvania convention
used the same language and declared in
favor of "a firm, unqualified adherence
to the unwritten law of the Republic,"
which "limits the Presidential service
of any citizen to two term*." Said the
lowa convention in 1875: "We oppose
a third term," end made laudatory ref
erence to General Grant'* letter to Gen.
Harry White, in which the President
look hiinaelf off the third term track.
The Wisconsin convention followed
suit. What has repealed the "unwrit

remove the objections to a "third term

Major Char lea K Crowley, a veteran
of tho war of 1812, w'ks buried in New
York on last Matin day morning. He
died of old age after having been con
fined to hia bed only forty houra. lie
had never before been Hick. lie went
through the war of 1812 unharmed,
though he nerved from tho flrat skirmish
to the final engagement. Ilia wife
died omo yeara ago and Miqor Crowley
had pasted the lant four years of his
life witli hia great-grandchildren.
He was horn in Boston,.ln no 22, 1787,
AH he lined often to relate, he raw
Wuahington frequently, and at the age
of thirteen attended hiH funeral at
Mount Vernon. In ItoHtbn he wan ap
prenticed to a Imker, hut hated the
drudgery of the calling and soon ex
changed it for service before the mast
in the navy. Before he wan twenty-five
yearn old he had been all over the world,
j He left the navy in 1811, and a year
later WBH detailed to fleneral Hull's
command, hut was recalled to Boston.
He believed Hull to he a great aoldier
and maintivined that hi>i surrender in
face of defeat wan wine diMcretion. The
first engagement in which he fought
was the celebrated conflict between the
Kssex undqr Captain David l'orU'r, and
the British sloop-of-war Alert. Soon
! after he left the Essex and wan sent to
I General Harrison, then fighting the In
| dians in Franklintown, Ohio. The
| death of Tecumsch naturally wan anoth
ler of his favorite topics. "I didn't
1 care," lie used to say, "as long as the
| army was fighting white men, but In
1 dians are too much. They had no prin
j ciples of honor and were so—— sly that
i alter we had whipped them we didn't
: know whether we were sate or not.
Why, just look how they went for Scott
| in iiis own private room."
'I he next year found Mr. Crowley un
der General Ripley in the advance to
ward Buffalo with Generals Rnqpn and
Scott. He was one of the men who
took Fort Erie ami two days later
"whipped the British" under General
Beail ut Chippewa. He remained in
Scott's command from this time until
j tho close of the war, serving in the
I Fourth Artillery. He fought in the
battle of l.undy's Line and there end
ed his military career.
Major Crowley was the oldest veteran
of 1812 in this city. He was promoted
by the association and made major. By
the de.ith of General Raymond lie
should be a colonel and would have
been so promoted had he lived to at
tend the next meeting of the USMM ia
lion. He admired Jackson enthusias
tically, and when akcd how he would
vote always replied, "I belong to the
old Jacksoiiiuu Democratic stock."

that Hlaine Hnd Boutelle had long since
determined to accomplish by force and

the house of Melville I>. Curtis, a gro
cer, this morning, and shot him in the
left side, Curtis' family was absent at
church, and no one hut the two men
were present. Jeiolman gave himself
up at once, lie appears deranged, and
it i* claimed that Curtis won from him
the affection* of hi* wife and induced
her to abandon him. The prisoner i*
R*id to have previously offered to for
give his wife if he would dicour*ge
Curtis, but she refused to do to. Her
refusal preyed upon his mind, and he
ha* been in the habit of repealing ex
pression* apparently wholly irrevelant
in a crazed manner to the mystification
of his friend*, who could not imagine
their meaning. Both are married men,
Jerolman having one child. Curtis 1
wound is probably fatal. He claims
that Jerolman on me to him for purpose*
of blackmailing, and had been to him
on similar errands before.
