WASHINGTON. An Iiitorestlnj: Letter l'rom Our Kcrh tnr Correspondent. Wasjiiscitos, I). C, October 2.'., 1SS9. EniToit Oiu:ion Scout: Congressman Urowno, of Indiana, wlm is in Washington so much of the vacation, lins considerable to say o"' conretsionnl intcrfcranco with clec tioai. IIu says that tho congress of tho United States has undoubted pow er to euperviae congressional elections. They are thoroughly national and per haps tho only really national elections we have. The question as to what shall be done in this connection is full of diliicultieJ. Tho law, whutever it limy lie. has to bo enforced by stale tribunals, and tho witnesses and every body else connected with the case rointi from tho community which is oftentimes in s;. inpatby with tho vio lator of the law. No statute can be enforced where the public docs not do (ire to enforce it. Mr. I'rowno directs his fire against the yaitheni districts which have small voting on thuir general ejections tin; black districts. There are of cour.-o two sides to the ease. Congress man Catching., of Mississippi, says that the idea that the negroes of the south nre siting up nights waiting for a chance to deposit, an honest ballot, is a mistake. Ho does not think that fifty per cent of those in tho districts that aio ovorwhelmingly one way or the other, have gone to tho polls in the last tun'years. Negroes will pick cotton within one hundred yards of the polls and never quit to cast their vote?, except such , as aie paid forgo ing directly, and such bribery is seldom nccessiry, minorities being so large. The trouble is that the colored people of tho south do not rend tho current literature of tho day and have no con ception of economic questions. For themselves they seo no direct bene fit to bo reaped from political life, and they know that it now means simply who shall hold ollico. There was a time, in tho sixties, when they were first freed, when to their minds their salvation depended upon voting tho Republican ticket. They were packed about tho polls, waiting eagerly to oxercifo their preiogatives. Tho lapse of time, peace, security, has brought" a feeling of indiU'ereuce. Thus, and much more, Mr. ditchings, mid thus you see tho fallacy of putting your inibt in princes, especially if the princes be Messrs llrmvno and ditch ings. It is a long way from Indiana to MiKsii-Mppi. Th"ii;h it rained and blew and snowed ht-rn day before yesterday, tho meeting of tho National Hoard of Pro motion of tho proposed exposition in "Washington in 181)2, was an unquali fied success. Tho meeting was called for noon, but long before this time, and long afterwards, delegates kept arriving, until the attendance was far in exee.-s of even the most sanguine expectation. There woio more than one hundred mou present as delegates r.ipresontatives men, governors, mayors, capitalists froino very state from Maine to California, from Dakota to Florida. It htw been supposed that tho spacious main parlors of Willard's hotel, opened together, would accomo date tho assembly, but so great was the crowd, that it was found necessary to hold tho business meeting in Wil lard hall. Among those present wore Uovornor Uiggs, of Doleware, Coventor Floning, of Florida and (lovornor Jackson, of Maryland. In his report to tho promoters. Sou rotary Anderson was particularly hap py, and his presentation of tho claims of Vahington was most convincing, lie called attention to tho fact that there is already hero the nucleus of an exposition that has aheiuly cost tho governiitent over tfriO.OOO.OOO, and ev ery year adds to tho expenditure. This is the national museum, the capitol, tho patent ollice, tho Washington monument and the vaiious govern ment buildings, with their stores of relics and treasures of art, and their exhibits of the practical workings of tho government. Those are practi cally an exhibit of thomcolvos. To bo Huro, some of them could be loaned, as they have been in tho past, but they could bo only a part of all thoTitlrac tions, and it would bo better to keep oven these permanently at ho seat of government, rather than to further en gage in tho traveling show business of lugging these goods to tho expositions all over tho country. If an industrial or commercial city Becures tho exposition, it must bo at the cost of her neighbors, for during tho exposition she would receive tho trade of tho country. Washington is neutral ground. ,Sho has nothing to ell, no commercial interests to foster. J)cateit hero, tho exposition would givo the rival manufacturing and commercial centers equal chances for the Bpanish-American trade. j, ir, o. Ancient Oregon. The following concludes the report of its summer trip to tho John Day country by the Princeton college ex pedition : "Could wo reproduce a view of Hint anciont Oregon when John Day laka existed we should have found our selves in a very strange animal world. There were little three-toed horses hardly larger than donkeys, rbinnceri, camels, peccaries and a great assem blancc of large, fierce, c.it-liko, dog-like and hyena-like nniniuK not to men tion hosts of little rabbits and squirrel like creatures. The animals of this time were all very small, the largest being the entelodon, a haul not unlike the hipopotamus in si-.o and general appearance. As the list shows, this assemblage had a very oriental charac ter. The climato was perhaps rather milder than tho present, and the for ests, of which the leaf beds of Jlridgo creek give ample illustration, were like those now found in tho warmer parts of tho United States. This won derful museum of a buried world has been sealed up by subsequent lava floods, and is now accessible only on the sides of canyons and valleys, where streams have cut down through the overlying masses. Tho result of our summer's work was nearly two tons of the fossil remains of these ani mals, a striking proof of tho vast num ber of thorn which have been pre served." Mill, lint Triiii- Covi:, Or., Nov. 4. !?.!). EniToit OitKfio.v Srorr: 'Last Friday the boys' foot-ball died, after a short illness of about an hour, and amid the tears and lamentations of tho sorrowing friends it was borne into tho school house where it laid in state from Friday until Tuesday, when signs of lifo were scon, and it was im mediately taken to tho surgeon, Mr. Joseph Flick, and by his skill and the tender care of Hon.
