OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.. Washington, D. C, Nov. 20, 1877. We talk and bear and read of nothing in these lust few days, but the freshet from which this and suivoundiiig vicinities ave Btifl'eving. The rain was not violent in this District, although it full dining most of the lust three days of tlio week past. llut the Potomac overflowed its banks, and the whole lower part of the city Is flooded, besides numerous cellars nud basement. Day before yesterday a man aud two horses were drowned whilo attempting to cross Virginia Avenue. Tlio malls were detain ed for some days and a general confusion has ensued. Much loss of property lias boon occasioned along the river both here and in Georgetown, but tho worst is now over uud the water is falling. I should not have said that we nve think ing of nothing but the freshet, for there are one or two other subjects that can but interest us. Washington' has reason for great coocevn regarding the recent mavine disaster I refer to tho loss of the Huron off the North Carolina coast last Saturday for several of her citizens were lost. Lieuleuaut l'almer was one. He was a son of Dr. Falmer of the U. 8. Navy, was married three or four years ago, and leaves a wife aud two babies. His sister's wed ding has already been announced to take place to-morrow Thanksgiving Day, she having been engaged to a young English man of the Diplomatic service, for over a year. The wedding will be postponed, of course, and tho afflicted family will scarce ly be in a mood for giving thanks. There aro moro interesting events trau fpiiiug at the Capital too, in the last few days, than haB been the caBe boforo during tho present session. The Senuto leinaiued iu sessioti all Mouday night, struggling over (Ikj seating of liutler of South Carolina. Tho Kepuhlican clement has received a scveio stiuing through tho action of two Senators from that side iu voting with tho Democrats, and tho agita tion appears to bo caused by an attempt to gain a very near majority on the one side and a foil' of, aud struggle against, losing it mi tho other. Thurniaii aud Ed munds are tho leaders iu tho strife, aud the unmerciful bits they mako at each other are enough to make ono shrink from a politicians life. Ho must have lived a truly God-liko life, who cau run tho gauntlet of a term in Congress and not have his name niirchcd by the pulling into light of some deed doue in darkness. If a man has ever told a lie, even though it bo when ho was but a child, he can't come into tho publicity of a seat in our legislative balls without being twitted of it It is no wonder the members get hardened to it and come to caro very little what is said or thought of thoir private lives. Apropos to this I quote tho follow ing telegraph from the pen of a con scientious Washington correspondent to a leading paper, which, although I consider it a little exaggerated, certainly contains iniuch truth aud faithfully portrays same women and noma men who may be seen almost any day : " You -can see flirtatious too diFgraccful too report. Not only are tho.eutianccs to the Capital thronged by braseu creatures who have lost all woman ly modesty, but there nio frills, scarcely past obddhood, leaving on Senator's arms, listening with glowing checks to compli ments paid them by tho great mrn iu tho corners of the conidors, eating with them in tho restaurant, and unsuspectingly be ing the subjects of winks between Con gressmen. They high-minded legisiators will leave their seats any time, no mat ter how urgent the subject iu debate, to answer the card of an attractive woman." I do not believe iu the uuiversal corruption of our Congressmen, but I have seen and kuown enough to show me that these great law makers are ordinary mcu and mortals, as liable to temptation und as subject to the snares of the crafty ns are other per sons. It is a fact that the lobbies are sel dom clear of female friends of the members and that their cards call out the presence of the Senators aud Representatives much more promptly than thote of tho other persuasion. To-morrew will le a holiday with us, it is always so when the six thousand Gov tuent clorks employed here are given a play-day. Oi.tvn. Miscellaneous News Items.

IW A Columbia, Tenn., dispatch states that George lbipev, alias Frank McGhee, the negro who attempted to commit an assault upon Miss Ilettie Teinpleton, was taken from jail a few mornings since, by a mob and lynched at the Court House, in the presence of about 200 persons. tS" A Liverpool man, after lightiug his cigar ou tho street, dropped the burning match through a sewer grating. Instantly a deafening explosion ensued, tba pave ment was torn to pieces and (lames buret wit. Ho bad ignited a quantity of sower gas. which .continued burning for a long time. t2T" A Piuto recently killed his squaw, and the Winnemucca Silver State says : "ludian custom makes the sqaw property, as much as a pony or a blanket, and the right of the husbaud to kill his wife is never disputed. As the authorities never iiiterforo with the tribal customs and regulations of the Piutes, no ollicial notice has been takcu of the act." EST Mrs. Sitlor washod the shelves in her husband's Philadelphia drug store, and did not replace the bottles exactly as they were before. A girl came iu to buy a mixturo of castor oil ond peppermint. Mr. Sitler took a bottlo from the place where peppermint had been, and mixed tho castor oil with muriatic acid by mistake. The conscquenco was the death of a child. tW A Muscatiuc, la., farmer a few days ago set up a heating stove, at tho time for getting to remove a powder horn filled with powder which he had put therein the summer, and made a fire therein. In n few minutes there was a tremendous ex plosion, which tore the top of tho stovo of, demolished windows, plastcriug, etc. Tho inmates of tho room escaped with a lew slight burns and bruises. CS" There was a wedding of tho most public sort at Coventry, Conn., tho other day of a Oo-ycars-old man and a 23-ycai'B-old widow. The man got bis license iu Coventry, but had arranged to bo married in Mansfield. When the knot was about being tied tho mistake was noticed, but the cxpectaut couple, determined to go oil' ou their wedding trip as planned, took tho parson to the bridge over tho river dividing Coventry and Mansfield, and wero married there iu full view of a factory, whoso every window was filled with interested wit nesses, having just time to catch the train. tW McParhin, the Mollio Maguire de tective is accompanied by a brother detec tive who "shadows" him and acts as a body-guard of ono. Before entering rail way cars tho "shadow" makes a recon noissauco to look out for dangerous char actors. These precautions are necessary in order to guard McParlan against assas sination by those who fear his evidence or seek revenga for tho M ollics' doaths. Rela tive to tho drama supposed to represent life among tho Mollies, McParlan says that tho piece, as witnessed by him in a Chicago theatre, is tho greatest burlosqiio immagiuablo upon tho reality. C3T" Deacon Smith, whoso committal for trial in Middlebnry, Yt., on a charge of murder, lias been anuoiinced by telegraph, was a pillar of tho Baptist church in that village, and for many years was looked up to as an exemplar of piety. Tho prelim inary examination in tho case showed that, if not a m u i dure r, ho is at least a hypo crite. His wife died, aud poison was fouud in her stomach. Ho tried to Lire the chemist for ?350 to report to the contrary. Long before this tho villagers noticed that be often walked home from religious meetings with Mrs. Champlin, a pretty milliner, whose husband seems to have been very blind to her conduct. One even ing the deacon was seen to kiss Mrs. Cham plin at the gate. Mrs. Champlin was an attendant at the death-bed of Mrs. Smith, and on that occasion the deacon was caught hugging as well as kissing her. He said he was simply expressing his gratitude for her kindness, and promptly offered to do the same to nil the other women present. Mrs. Champlin is alto held. for trial. From B. Fellows, M.

Above all, the Family Newspaper should bo perfectly puro, and free from any contaminating Inlliiences in its reading matter or In its advertisements. Too much attention cannot be paid to this feature, when the press is Hooding tho country with to much that Is vile and pernicious.
