The nbsi'titoes are returning In droves mid Washington begins to be Itself again. Probably there in no city In tho universe deserted by so largo a proportion of lis population during the summer months. Congress U gone with all its employees uml uttachees, uml the other departments of the gov ernment run on about half their force. One half remains while tho other gort, thus dividing time between them until nil have hud u holiday. Of course these over-worked govern ment clerks need a couple months rest. They work as much as four or five hours a day during the remainder of the year, nomo of them nntl some of them don't. It Is one of the campaign cries of the radical party that the Democratic Congress has crippled the government by culling down the force lit wmte of these tli puret units and refusing to uppropri tie money fr so many fat salaries. Hut It Is ull bosli. I am pretty thoroughly ac quainted with the workings of nil the executive department-, and can slate with a good deal of emphitlJcnostthat in nearly every one of them tho force Is Mill uunecet-sarlly I.irge, with nu merous sinecure- bore uml there that might well Imj dieused with.

The people at large know very In lie cenrVrning the ex tent tn which the abuse is curried, and that, us), under an administration which started out with such extraor dinary professions, of n "pure" civil service. Since the Maine election thero has been a marked change in the demean or of the oluco holding Republicans about Washingson. For the past two or three months tho general bearing of a numerous class of Republicans, towards Democrats, has been charac terized by a contemptuous iu sole nee, a haughty, domineering, masterful tone, imKtssibe of description and not easily endured. puoli terms 83 "rebel" and copperhead" have been their staple of talk, and at the time c( the grand Democratic ratiiication meeting here, three weeks ago, one of them sneeringly said to rue that the largo Illuminated letters U. S. over the platform should" he taken down and C. S. A. put up. I did not answer him. I felt certain that his day, ami tho day for that sort of talk was about, done; that In the triumph ant election of Hancock insolence and bigotry would be silenced. Already thesu fellows begin to read the hand writing on the wall, and their man ner Is perceptibly modified. For men who never saw a line of batlla or did anything but curse rebels at a 1,000 mllo range, while sneaking behind a fat salary to question tho loyalty of Democrats who proved their patriot ism on the field, and to sneer at the supporters of General Hancock Is most too much. This class of Republicans have a way of assuming that this country belongs to them, and that the Repub lican party is the government Their organ in this city speaks of the departments as "the Republican suit 9istence chest," and refers to a-score of Democratic clerks as being "fed from, tho Republican crib." A stray Democrat holdinf a position In any department is the target of .abuse in tho local press and the subject of dis cussion and resolution in the club meetings abut town. He is charged with "filching money from the Re publican party." It Is about time this sort of drivel was dried up. The election of Hancock will bring these men to realize that the Republican party doesn't own this government ; that It Is a "Nation with a big N," a government of the cople, and every citizen, I'euiocrai, itepublloin or (Jreenbacker, is a part and parcel of it, and has the Kame rights under It. They will find out that the Treasury Department and every other depart partment belongs to the people and lis use Is the transaction of public business. Another idea or some of these fellows Is that John Sher man and the Republican party caused tho commerce of the country to exist and the crop to grow. There are some men who actually think that but for John Sherman and their party no wheat or corn could have been grown this year, "What infernal nonsense," Is about all the answer one feels like making to such drivel as this. The Congressional Campaign Com mittees are hard at work with a large force of clerks sending off documents to every suite, ami several large print ing entabliahinent are running night ami day turning them off. The Re publican Committee nre saving post age by illegally franking piles of doc uments. The city post offlco was obliged to refuse to send them, for fear of the law, and now the commit tee carts them out lo the smalt offices in neighboring towns, from whence they go. AH reports received at Dem ocratic headquarters are of the mot cheering kintl, and since the Maine Waterloo there Is great depression among Republican clerks. Rut they should not be utterly cast down. The walking will be pretty good by the middle of March, probably. Pifoxo. Ctal:l ATUBMMII41 KKT1 KSS. It Is true that General Garfield him self devised, suggested and prepared the perjured lestimony upon which the Returning lioard of I-oulsiuna threw out the real return of the election in the p.trlsh of West Felic iana, ami thereby figured up a major ity for Hayes in the state, whereas, a iriHjority ,f the people had voted for Tttden. This Garfield did Ip the way which Mr. Hendricks sets forth from Oartleld's own testimony, and this same (Jarlleld Is now the Repub lican candidate for president. It Is also true that in liLs place in tho House of Representatives, Gen. (iarflehl resisted the passage of the t.Iectoral Bill, declaring It to be his conviction that if that Rill bhould pass the Klectoral Commission would lie required by the provisions of the Hilt to go behind the returns and as certain what votes had already been cast by the iieuple; and yet as a mem- lM-r of the commission, after he bad taken an oath to examine and consid er all questi;ns and render a ttue judgment, he refused to go behind the returns, ami held that the people were concluded by forged certificates cemfylcg to nothing but falsehood. That thesu propositions; and others incident to them are absolutely and tuny established by uarneid s own sworn evidence Is demonstrated In Mr. Heud rick's speech. TUE rABTli W HlrH SACB TUK lIOV In a speech at BellviHe, Illinois ex-Senaror Lyman Trumbull, candl date for governor on the DemocrtH: ticket, in re fat ion to the Republican claim that that party won the battles of the Union, remarked: "Rut I have not clone with this false claim of the Republican party. I propose to-day to bury It so deep with facts and fig ures that only the dupes of dema gogues can longer lx lieguiled by it. The Democratic State of Missouri alone. In which Mr. Lincoln received but 17,028 votes In 1S0, furnished i!,ni men to the caloti army a greater number than was furnished by alt the Itepubltcnn states of Ver mont, Rhode Island, Minnesota, Ne braska ami Kansas put together. Neither Michigan, Wisconsin or Iowa furnished &i many troops to the Un ion as Missouri. John A. Dtx and Dauiel S. Dickinson, of New York, Lewis Carr.of Michigan, and Stephen A. Douglas, of this State, all life-long Democrats and leaders of the party, the moment Fort Sumter was fired upon, came out in public speeches for the Union." Following up this representation of the facts in the case.ex-Senator Trum bull made this strong point : In I860 Mr. Lincoln received a total vote of 1,806,322, and there were enlisted during tho war 2,678,967 volunteers. If the Republicans alone suppressed the rebellion, somebody ought to ex plain how 1,800,322 voters supplied 2,679,907 men of military age. ASOTUKH KKl lUir FOB HAKr0Cli..

General Weaver, the Republican who is paid by the Garfield managers to stand as Greenbacker candidate for President to lure voters from the sop part of Hancock and EogliL, -nw sets up the claim that the victor, fn Maine is a triumph for himself and hlscani?. General Weaver knows that this is a false claim.- He went to Maine under the pay of the Repub lican managers to make speeches and use hii influence against the Fusion, against Governor PlaUted, and in fa vor of the Republicans and Governor Davis. General Weaver is enacting the bat which fought with the beast, and. now, when the victory 13 wHh the eagles, endeavors to play himself for a bird. He is, nevertheless, a bat, and henceforth he will he shunned and contemned by both birds and beasts alike, and left to flit by night and feast on the vermin which dare not venture in the light of dayr ex actly as his nature and his place itv the political kingdom qualify hira.
