m glxc hiUB slox.ltm. ASTORIA. OREGON : "WEDNESDAY 3LVRCH 9Q, 1SS1 t. C. IKELAXI . .Editor. Washington Society. EKITOHIAl COHltKM'OXOKNrK. "Washington, March 13. A "Washington lady temporarily re siding in New York, with a view to making it her permanent home, claims through the Republican that blie finds no intellectual so ciety there; that the host people are given over to an insane pur pose to make all theUiow possible, and that dress, style, apjKsarance, and fashion form the staple of their conversation and tliought; that they are not given to intel Jectual pursuits in the least, but everything is strained to the ut most in an exhaustive struggle to show off. She misses the refined and cultivated society of the Capi tal, and laments, as one of the trials in store for her, that she will . Le deprived of those intellectual pleasures which she has long en joyed in Washington, even though she has occupied a qomparatively humble position. To the observer of the phases of society in the metropolis this complaint will ap pear as very apropos, and the con clusions well taken. It can be safely said that no city in the country offers the advantages in genuine social enjoyment that is furnished by' Washington city. It is pre-eminently intellectual, tak ing its tone from congress, the presence of intellectual men, and the legitimate study of the higher social purposes. Leisure not of fered in the hurly-burly of metro politan life is also an element in brinariii": about the graces and pursuits of real culture. And from what may be termed the outer circle the inner reflects a like purpose. It is true, as the corres pondent assumes, that nowhere in America are the same social ad Tantages enjoyed as in- Washing ton. The best advice we can give to the lady is to return to Wash ington at once. d. c. i. Republican Simplicity. KUITOKIAI. COItUItel'OXDKXCK. Washington, March 11. Pour ing over an old scrap book of Capt. Crandall's a few days since I fell upon many good things which will bear repeating, among which this is ene: The association of ideas is some what queer sometimes and leads occa sionally to the most unexpected re eults. For instance, speaking of the Mercury led to a thought about Cesa xiBm and Grant, and that in turn to an exhibition of C'usarisin which I saw a day or two ago at the Presi dential mansion. The Marine band plays there, on the green at the Potomac-ward face of the White-house; afternoons for the delectation of the multitude:and when the band plays the multitude is always there. There i" a pump iu the walled area at the south east comer of the mansion; and the weather being exceedingly warm, a friend and J walked up to this pump to drink. We found there several handsome, well dressed ladies, mem bers of the ton, who were si .eking -lieir thirst with sparklinc water from a small earthen flowerpot, the small orifice in the bottom of which was plugged with a stick and a rag! Ye Gods! thought I, what Ciesarism is this? Whither are we drifting? and what fate must be in store for the re public when the habitues of the Presi dential Mansion drink pump water from a plugged earthen pot! I retired Teflective and sadly impressed with the conviction that republican simplicity is forever dead in America. At the Metropolitan temple, San Francisco, on Monday night, the younger Kallocb publicly an nounced his intention of resigning the mirlistry, but of remaining in lltat city. A Rome dispatch of the 28th ays: A lady obtained a private audience with the pope to-day and -warned him that the day and hour were fixed for the murder of him self and Cardinal Pecci. Man persons are reported miss ing at Nice. Several more bod'es Tiave been recovered from the ruins. The manager of the theatre denies that he was forced to play an spite of misgivings as to the safety of the hoube. Hon. Alexander Sheppard. KDITOKIAL COKKKsrOXDKXCK. "Washington, March 11. The gentleman whose name forms the caption to this letter formerly lived in this city and was known as Boss Sheppard monuments in the shape of public improvements all over the city survive his depart ure, "under & cloud,' for Mexico; and were he to return here to-dav he would meet with a most elegant reception from all, including his former traducers as well as his friends. When he dies a suitable statue, in either marble or bronxc, it sltoulil bo gold and silver; will lie erected to his memory, lie was not known and properly ap preciated until after his failure and departure iow he is both known and appreciated. Chicago needs just such a man as Boss Sheppard to tear down its death dealing buildings, to fill up its stinks and river and convert a nasty city into what it might be one of the loveliest on earth. Old Ben But ler did something for 2sew Orleans once, upon the same basis, and with all his faults we will not be lieve he stole the spoons. The late decision in the Supreme-court in the Hallett Kilbourn case calls to recollection the following pub lished in Tun Astokian April 19th, 1S7G, from the pen of Capt. C. P. Crandall: TIic Ex-Coiifi-dernlr. IlUtitnunt from a 1112! Horoc. Hallett Kilbourn has been in the district jail for Gve weeks for "contu macy." Ho was a witness summoned by the committee on the real estate pool, and whun the committee asked liiiii to prothwc his primi boobs, he declined. The chairman of the com mittee, one J. M. Glover, of Missouri, the identical honest man for whom Diogenes hunted fc many years, re ported the contumacy to the house, and procured the summary imprisonment f the contumacious K. From that time till now. Glover and the cx-confeder-ates who hold the dignity of the house above all human or oarthly things, have been talking very loudly about letting Kilbourn rot in jail unless he would come out with his private books and papers. When anything was said about a writ of habeas corpus they have invariably turned up their legal noses with contempt for the man who might even suggest a doubt of the su preme right of the house to hold the prisoners. What were courts? Mere creatures of the house. Who shall dare to question the puissance of the house? What ex-confederate demo crat is weak enough to yield to a law of congress when it is the will of the ex-confederate house to defy it? Who is it that admits congress to be superi or to the house? These and similar queries were mottoed upon the cxv confederate banner which was nailed to the mast head to stay. But the chronicler of current events has occa sion to remark that the other day Judge Carter issued a writ of habeas corpus in the Kilbourn case; that the ex-confederates proposed, at once, to snap their fingers at Judge Carter's writ and say to him shoo fly; that a resolution to that effect was introduced and that there upon the blue-blooded gentlemen of Huguenntic lineage tooted their horns sonoriously, and wondered why the devil the just lightnings of heaven didn't descend upon the impious head of Carter and splinter him into kindling-wood. But, after all, the faithful chronicler is compelled to say that the aforesaid sub-resolution failed by a large majority and that a resolution directing the sergeant-at-anns to pro duce the body of Kilbourn before Judge Carter, in obedience to the writ of habeas corpus, was adopted by the same vote. And now the ex-confed- crate brethren are wondering what's the use of having a democratic ma jority in the house. Lane of Oregon was sick and didn't vote. Kilbourn slept at home last night, under guard, and this morning the papers have such head lines as "The Ex-Confederate Bastile Opened." n. c I. Chicago has also developed : faster in the person of "Vm. Coon ev of ninety-five North Clark street, who came there from Stur geon bay, Wisconsin. He claims to be the Holy Ghost, the success or of Christ, and is a remarkable intelligent lunatic. He has fasted twenty-five days, only drinking water during that time, and says that he will live on faith and water until Easter, April 17th. ' SfiSome say that it is no use for them to advertise, that they have been in the place in business all their lives, and everybody knows them. .Such people seem to forget to take in consideration that our country is increasing in popu lation nearly 40 per cent every ten years, and no matter how old the place may be, there are constant changes taking place; some move to other parts, and strangers fill their places. In this ago of the world, unless the name of a business firm is kept constantly before the public, some new firm may start up, and. by liberal advertising, in d very short time take the place of the older ones, and the latter rust out, as it were, and be forgot ten.
