WASHINGTON GOSSIP.
Washington, Feb. 29, 1870.
' Tlio celebration of Washington
birtlulay this year was notably supe
rior to many ol its predecessors, Phil
adelplna especially making two mos
of it as a prelude to centennial busi
ness, ntnl onr sleepy old neighbor At
(,'xandria awakening to somo of her
old time enthusiasm in the eilort to
do honor to the day which gave birth
to the boy of "the hatchet," and the
man ot whom Artemus Ward said "it
was the. fate of G. Washington not
to have many take copy after him."
Alexandria really git up a tine mm
tary anil civio display, "i which the
celebrated Maryland Fifth Regiment
participated by invitation. This an
cient city has peculiar claims to Was!i
ingtonian honors, for il is associated
with the entire career of the rather
of his Countfv. The Lairfa.ves. of
Alexandria, were the special friends
ot his youth, and Irom there ie start
ed in 1753, with Jacob Van Uraam,
on ins perilous tourney to deliver
Governor Dinwiddie's letter to the
French commander at Fort Du
QucHiie. It was at Alexandria that
he galheretl his Virginia troops 'lor
Fort Necessity, and afterward became
aid di'-catnp to General 15raddock
He was a leading Mason iu the Lodge
then organized at Alexandria, and a
member of the town council iu 17G7,
a vestryman ot the parish church, and
a representative of tho county iu the
Iousi ot burgesses. He kept 'Ins
otlice in Alexandria to attend to his
private business after bin retirement
to .Mount Vernon, and rode iu twice
a week on horseback, always taking a
great interest in the prosperity of the
city and its inhabitants to' the day of
his death. It is not surprising there
fore that the people of Alexandria jil
ways take pn.le in celeuratin, tin
bin Inlay of Washington in a becom.
iug manner. Would that a sent'iiient
ot gratitude- for his services, and rev
erence for his character, inspired some
ot our public nu n with the spirit ot
emulation ! His example might, just
now, bo followed with great advant
age to the public purse, as well as th
public morals. For instance, General
Grant might, by iinb ibing Ihe spiri
which prevented asliuigton, when
President, frour allowing the State ol
Pennsylvania lo pay the relit of the
house, he occupied in Philadelphia, as
well as trom accepting gitis of any
amount irom any source, have found
a worthy precedent tor declining
some hundreds of gilts which he ha
felt obliged to return in ollii iu! em
ploymer.t, and honors, to tho givers
A. T. Stewart was appointed Sec ret a
ry of the Treasury, and liltle Borie,
ot 1 Inladelphia, secretary of the Na
vy, because they were subscribers to
funds tor Giant's benefit. Hoar, of
Massachusetts, gave him a 110,000 li
brary and was made Attorney Gener
al ; ami Pierrepont, of New York,
subscribed C0,OOO to his election
fund and has succeeded to the same
place. Ueu Ilolladay found splendid
recompense for a gift horse in good
contract'! and extra pay, while the
whole civil service is demoralised
with tho results of gift taking and ne
potism reduced to a science.
Again, Washington as general of
the army and as President of the
United Slates, refused tho salaries
voted him by Congress, and accepted
for his services nothing, but allowed
the government to pay out of the
sums voted him only the official ex
penses incurred by himof which there
were no unnecessary ohes, and a st rict
account was kept. That hs would
not have signed a back pay bill for
Congress, containing a salary grab ol
850,000 a year, is very certain ; while
it is just as certain that Grant is in
apable ot refusing anvthtng he can
get. Grant cottons to rich men, ami
is especially fond of liberal civi rs like
Doss Shepherd; perfectly nidiflvrcnt
10 whe'ethe money comes from.
lie and his lamily and cabinet all at
tended a party given by this "practi
cal plumber and pestilent politician"
recently, said to have been the most
extravagant ever given in Washing
ton. It is nothing to Grant where
the ways and meats came from, and
that this man Shepherd, trampling all
law and rights underfoot, has saddled
on the .people a debt equal to one
fourth the value of the entire proper
ty of this District, a large part ot
which will have to be paid by the na
tion. All things considered, tho House
is doing, perhaps, the best thing that
can be tiono, under the circumstances,
in exploiting, fhronah its several com
mittees, the enormous frauds and
reckless extravagance ol the Admin
is'.ratior. and the corrnntionn nf the !
Prcaidcnt's chosen friends, and in
tra' iny almost every tdream ot plan
der t its source at the White Hoasc
Tho results of iheLbfr of these com-mitte-,
if properly dir. .-ruinated
throughout the country, cannot fail
to array ail the honesty and self re
spect of the nation against the repub
lican party. Kut i!n- Democracy must
dough off every demoralizing element
in in own rank, err. rid of erery job-
ber who seeks to uo tho party for
personal ends, and show its sincerity
in the work of reform by making the
deimicratio party tho reform parly of
me country.
Mr. S. S. Cox of New York was a
success in the Speaker's chair, as all
his friends capable of appreciating
him knew he would be. It is some
what of a misfortune, unhappily, in
the United States for a statesman to
be also a man of letters, an orator, or
a wit. because Proctor Knott of
Kentucky made one of tho most hu
morous speeches, "which, by the by, I
had the good fortune to hear, that
was ever made in a deliberative body
several lunkheads of botli .parties
thought it impossible that ho could
be a tit man to preside over tho Com
mittee on Judiciary. 1 lie tact is,
however, that Mr. Knott is a man of
gcod legal mind and superior profes
sional attainments. Cox, also, is a
w ii ami ntuiionst; oat lie much more
than that more, also, than a sharp
1 tiuian. He is a statesman, a good
substantial ami 'belles lettrcs scholar,
first class iournalist ami inairazine
writer, and a hard and steady reader
of more solid literature, than usually
finds its way into the daily journals.
lis knowledge ot tho parliamentary
aw of Great IJritain and tho United
Slates is equal, if not superior, to that
of any man iu the country. If Mr.
err s health should necessitate a
change in the Speakership ihere in
no man in the Union who would till
the chair more satisfactorily to the
louse and more creditably to the
country than b. S. Cox.
The Heat tine for '70.
Under tho heading, "Duty of tho
Democracy," A. W. Kelsey publishes
in the Missouri Republican an article
which exhibits the political situation
in tho clearest light, and ventures
about tho best guess as '.o the result
. t r 1 . I I .
o. i;:e next . residential election, we
have yet observed. Mr. Kelsey snys
1 lie Conservatives of this cotinlty
are iu present possession of no lower
than eighteen Slates so far as their
Governors are concerned not count
ing either North Carolinn, Florida
Mississippi or Jjouisana, in each of
which Slates a carpet bagger is now
terminating a four years' Guberna
torial reign ; the Legislalutes of each
being possessed ot a Democratic inn
jority on joint ballots, und liileen of
the twenly-iwo Cung-essnien repre
senting llieiu being Democrats. Of
the eighteen States first mentioned
only one can be considered as doubt
ful in any degreo as between a Hard
Money and Union-loving Democrat
and a representative of Grantism.
The single exception is the little Slate
d Nevada, which may tully be con
filleted as a rotten "pocket borough,"
where the longest purse always wins
and where, in consequence, tho Radi
cals may hope to secure threo elec
toral totes, Of course, however, all
the remaining Democratic Stales north
of Mason and Dixon's line can only
bit depended upon on the terms above
mentioned. Auy deflection .from the
straight find narrow road leading to
Specie Payment and a restoration ot
fraternal feeling between the North
and South would as certainly lose the
Democracy New York, New Jersey,
Connecticut, California, Oregon and
Indit na, as they are certain to carry
them if the very essence ot madness
should not iu'ervene to prevent. The
New York Herald, id an elaborate
review ot the political situation,' sug
gests the names ot two candidates
who can bo depended upon by the
Democracy to sweep everything be
fore them-t-but onfot tunati-ly neither
Charles Francis Adams nor General
Wintield scott Hancock stand the
slightest chance ot receiving the nom
ination. Tho first comes Irom Massa
chusetts, w hich would suffice to kill
him iu any convention of Democrat)
mores the pity, as no would make
an ideal Centennial candidate.
The second is under the shadow ot
military antecedents, of which the
K-ojilo are justly sick and tired,
either are available. Bayard, of
Delaware, would be more acceptable;
Hendricks, of Indiana, more expedi
ent ; Tilden, of New York, would run
better than either of the four, and
would be triumphantly elected, even
if Ohio and Indiana should each vote
the Republican ticket. Few persons
seems to be aware of the great gains
the Democrats have made in electoral
voles since 1872., In 1SG4 the, Dem
ocrats carried but three .States New
Jersey, Delaware and Kentucky
with only Iwepty one electoral votes
altogether. . In 1SC8 they added to
these three States, which they re
tained, Georgia, Louisiana, Maryland,
New York and Oregon, with fitly-
nine additional votes.
In 1&7 Horace Greeley proved io
strong a dose for Democratic stom
chi that, although they added the
electoral votes of Missouri, Teunessce
and Texas to tho.e of Georgia, Ken
tucky, Louisiana and Maryland, yet
they" sctuallv failed to carry Dela
ware, Neir Jersey and Oregon, which ,
even the unpopular "Seymour and
lilnr" ticket hud Niifticed to hold
Tne lesson of 1872 BhoulJ be suffi
ciently fresh in our minds to enable
us at least to profit bv the experieuoo
then achieved. Tho bomocraoy hold
tiiin day ot our Lord more than enough
electoral votes to enable them to name
the next President ! They havo ouly
to use thoir power with modulation
and sagacity to reclaim in November
noxt tne position thev abdicated in
1.SG0. They have only to show signs
ot a relapse into their fiftceu year-old
attack ot mania a po tn to get whipped
in 187Gas badly as in 1872 1 They
ca i pay their money and take thoir
choice. 1
The follow States can be depended
upon to vote the Democratic ticket in
November next il Samuel J. Tilden
is the Presidential nominee. The
twelve Southern States iu tho rinht
hand -column, however, are all that
can bo depended upon for any nomi-

The reason assigned is that Cameron
is the only radical of sufficient per

and Granger vote of the Northwest.
