'WASHI3I0T0X LETTER.
From cor Regular Correspondent. 1
Washisoto. April C. 188S.
f The week's record in ongre?? is
lUiually interesting. A number
? important measure hae been
lafore Loth bouaea, and several
qrje&tioiia ot probably lea impor
tsce, but in no wise lete intereat
ig to the public. Lave come up for
Action.
f Representative Crain't I ri a u ma
tron day amendment wax defeated
in the house, and the capital iy
rlourns that the important date is
(tot to be changed at present. But
an off aet to this disappointment.
I de aeuate passed withotft A dissent
iup; voice the bill providing for the
constitutional centennial in 1880,
and tlure in little doubt that it will
le nlotf(l Lv iho house iu a simi
larly libtiul and jatriitif spirit. If
o, Washington will next yf-rr b
the mie of a most interesting and
important meeting of the rejireHen
tativen of the people and the gov
ernment of the Western continent.
The bill as passed appropriates tbe
kum of :$00,0(0 to lm extended by
the president upon tli iitt-rt.-iin
uieut of the for4gu gu-st who will
Ixi imited to atteml the lybrat ion .
The latter will include I he chief ex
ecutives and judicial officers and cer
tain civil and military officers of the
eSjuth American republics.
After ninny important change?,
the Mills tariff bill has at last been
reported to the house and will be
called up for action on next Tues
day week. It is reported that the
Louisiana memltcr.s of congress have
lieen won over to the support of the
bill and that Mr. Randall has only
fourteen tuporters left. The su
srar schedule has leeii auiemlcd by
a rentoiatiin of the present color
line a u, Man.latil and a borionlal
reduction of '20 j r cent. The
great scheme now h In fate tree
wotl.
The? house is congratulating itself
uoon having done more work th; n
its pitdecessors have been in the
habit of accomplishing so early in
the session. And when one comes
to count up. it ia found that the
Fiftieth congiess can make a rather
goid showing. Up to date 230 pri
vate bills and 120 public bills have
been passed. To appreciate this
work, however, it is necessary to
lose sight of the fact that about
0(K)0 bills have "been introduced dur
inj? the rcssion.
Senator Illair. r New Il.unp-
shire, is nothing if not liberal and j
Lind-lu arted. lie was the author i
i of the famous l.ducatioiml 1ml.
'which now lies neglected in a hous-
i committee

, , .
nlstve confederates wh were not
soldiers, in npimintments to the civ-:
' 11 i
il service, which created such a dis- i
. , i
turbance among the senators at the
time of its presentation, and now j
Mr. Ulftir wants to do somo tiling
kind for the District of Columbia, i
Ilia latest proposition is an amend
ment to the constitution of the
United States, and is as follows:
"The District of Columbia shall be
entitled to representation in the
t congress of the I'nited States by
j one senator, and by one or more
.representatives, according to tbe
1 rule of apportionment. The Dis
trict shall uIm be entitled to us
many electors for president and vice
president as it has members of con
gress. Congress ehall provide by
j law tbe time and manner of eboos
ing tbe senator, representative ami
electors.
" Representative women who at
tended the Woman'a conference
here last week have petitioned con
gress for the passage of thp Illair
educational bill.
Though the international council
of women is n thing of Ihe past, its
echoes have been beard throughout
the week. The dt legates liesieged
the capitol on Monday, crowding
the galleries and corndors. Their
special tendezvous was the senate
reception room, which was for the
time converted into a committee
room for the special committee on
woman suffrage, consisting of Sen
ators Cockrell, l'dair, Palmer, Djw-
en, Chare. Sawyer and others. Sen
ator Cockrell, of Missouri, had the! no one lo accompany her, and there
... ... ...!. . .., .
chair ostensibly, and intended to
nraui.l but Mhs Susan B. Anthoiiv
was really in command, and con-
ducted the ceremonies in an aui-:
mated and interesting manner pecu
liarly her own. She introduced her
lieutenants one by one, they repre
senting different nationalities, and
apeak ing in different tongues. So
far as the apeakcra could le nnder
atood, however, the united voice was
for .immediate and unrestricted suf
frage, and in this the foreign ladies
all deemed it appropriate that the
United .Staten ahouM load ly n rou
atitutional amemlraent.
In presenting a woiuau suffrr gist
from Louisiana, Mias Anthony men-
iioued tLat a year ago, in conreraa'
tion with Senator Crown, it member
cf thu committee pr8nt, he bad
aid that he did not know a woman
? iu the South who wanted to ot.
Mis Anthony said sh would pro
duce as many us were uetensaty to
couvioce him.

llotr- Jt hn P. 8t. John and " Iter
J. W. Webb went fiahing Saturday.
They did not follow the example of
a renf many Salem people, and
wait until Sunday to go. They did
not go fishing for republican suckers,
as they usually do, but I hey went
after the beautiful, festive moiiutain
trout, sometimes termed "speckled
beauties." Probably they wanted
them for brain food, in which cane,
however, it is the opinion of some
they should have gone tithing for a
whale. Thrv went out the Turner
road to Ihe old iokn place, n few
miles from Salem, now tented bv
I'ncle John West.
They baited their hooks and hied
themselves down bv the shadv banks
of Mill creek, where they toiled
diligently to induce the wary 1 1 out
to nilihle just the same as tliey
tempt republicans to bite ot tbe
sharp hook of prohibition, with
deceitful beards on it, yon know.
Mr. West was not at home, and he
had left instructions with his hired
man to allow no one to lish or hunt
on the polioses. The tiligant eves !
of the hired man espied the two
great piohiaspostles down bv their
favorable element, and, rem'emW r-'
imr his orders, be hastened to them.
when the following conversation, as

ensued : I

Poilhui.l, Oregon, a farmer well
advanced Sit years, received aome
tinio ago a number of "green (rood a"
circulars from William Prime, of
this city, who was to make- a fortune
speedily for the farmer.
The latter paid 1120 fare to come
to this city, and went to the Grand
Union hotel. There he was visited
by Owen Curtin, who aid he camo
from the fortune tinker, and tin
pair made an engagement for Friday,
when Heurici waa to ceo Prime and
get the "green goods."
Two detectives got wind of the
affair and on going to the hotel on
Friday saw Curtin and another mau .
meet Hemic! near Ihe hotel. All
three were taken into custody, and
on Henri.d was found $480 in gold,
sewed in the lining of his waistcoat.
A complaint of Belling counterfeit
money was made against Curtin.

above facts and Curtin was held for

of detention in default of tlQO bail
for bis appearn nco at trial. The

The circulars sent out were marked

effect that "green goods," or

changed by Prime for lesser amounts
of real estate.
