WASHINGTON LETTER.
THE BEAUTIFICATIOX OP THE CITY
THE LOBBY ANI) THE SWAMPS THE
L'BBY AND THE PIUVATE CLAIMS
COURT.
Washington, T. C, March 10, 1SS2.
Congresses come and Congresses
go, but the wrecks of the Potomac
fta-amps g-c:, 0 forever. Since
Washington has become a beautiful
city with paved streets more solid
and smoother than the sidewaiks of
other cities; with marble palaces as
massive and graceful as the TuiMer
ies; with dozens of parks that require
only a little more growth to make
them Elyian groves; with stalaes
and fountains that discourse history
or "babble o' green fieii.V anil mur
mur the loves of nymphs JjjrffO,
quae quum ita sint, it is a ureal puj'
that these Pototnae swamps that
mingle a curse with every blessing,
ami "spice this fair banquet wilh the
dust of death," cannot be mopped
up. Congress could do it with its
little appropriation. But Congress
is a guest who abides here but two
years, subsisting chiefly on a diet of
whisky and quinine, voting Chinese
anti-immigration bills, anli-mortnon
bills, Munis, sislns, and cousins bills,
inhaling all the time the reek of these
swamps, until their blood bl.-.ckens
and their sinews crack. Cut this out
and send it lo your member of Con
gress, and maybe he will send you a
package of garden seed.
The malaria flats would have been
long since improved if it were not
for the lobby. There is always this
monster ready to strangle any good
measure that it cannot convert to its
gain. The trouble wilh the plan
now recommended for the removal
of these swamps, placing the work
under the control of the Secretary ot
War, is that there is no plunder in it.
There is not a penny in it for the
lobby, and it shuts out a host of
greedy Speculators and land-grabbers,
who have long had a scheme to
turn these swamps into solid land
and sell it iu lots at an immense
profit. The lobby especially opposed
to ihe speedy and only honest oblit
eration of tbee swamps, is a com
pany of Maryland land-grabbers, the
Star route plunderers, and a hetero
genious crowd of lobby highwaymen,
held together by the hope of plunder.
There is a measure before Congress
now which, if it shall become a law,
will do mo.'c practical, good than
any measure that has been before
this body for yei r. I mran the bill
lo constitute a court of private
claims. It has been the case foi
years, that legislation of a broad and
national character has actually been
crowded out of CongressMiy a host
of private claims some just, some
jobs, but all of a character too petty
to be considered by the National
Legislature. It is proposed to rfer
all these private matters to a court
especially created for their adjudi
cation. In this way Jongress will
be relieved of work that has hereto
fore occupied nearly one-third of its
time in committee and in the two
houses. Moreover, the lobby will
receive a powerful bl w. Nearly
nine-tenths of the private claims
that come before Congress are of a
character (thai will shrink from the
light of judicial investigation, and
a court will easily be able to hear
the tenth claimant and decide lis
claim on principles of law and equity.
The result will be that a large crow I
of lobbyists will steal away from
Washington, and there will be much
less moral and political malaria
about the corridors of tho House
and Senate.

Messrs. Editors, to get discouraged

shall hold -nut an open hand to tho
gallant spirit who refuses to bend thuv

There is a worthy ambition iu enter

Felton, of Georgia, has wiilten an
other letter upon the political situa
tion in that Slate, arraigning the
Democratic policy and administra
tion, and biltcily inveighing against
the convict-farming system especi
ally. Closing, he says:
"The old cry of 'Radical,' 'traitor,'
'disorganize!',' won't do this
time. It is worn out in this part of
the country. Some of the loudest
Democratic leaders were the most
blatant in 18GS on the other side;
and t.heir present willingness to open
up a smooth way to official spoils
has condoned all forrLer crimes.
Unless there is some new salt inject
ed into tho body politic, the parly
has lost its savor, and the cry ol
'coalition' against the independents
is only a new name for 'stop thief
that betrays the thief itself. The
party policy has got beyond the help
of the honest men in the parly. The
'coalitions' are too strong for inno
cence and honesty, and tho men
who clamor for reform in the Demo
crat party within its organization
are the very men who cheated in the
last deal, and are only wailing for
anot her chance lo cheat - again.
When the thimble-riggers get
