WASHINGTON tVETTBR.
(.From our Regular Correspondent.)
Washington, D. C. Feb. 8, 18SJ.
It is believed among the best
informed politicians hero that ex
Senator Sargent will surely be
appointed Secretary of the Interior
within a very short time. His
friends say that the delay is due
to the fact that Secretary Kirk
wood has not yet rendered his
decision in the California land
grant cases iu which Mr. Sargent
is attorney, and which he could
not properly act upon as Secretary.
It is expected that a decision will
be rendered in a few days. Sec
retary Kirkwood certainly expects
to leave the department very soon,
as his household effects here are
being packed for shipment to
Iowa. It is rumored that he will
be a candidate for' the next Gov
ernorship of his State. During
the interval since Mr. Sargent's
appointment to the Secretaryship
was announced as probable there
hare been malignant attacks upon
his record, but they appear to be
as abortive as they are groundless.
He has been assailed as the author
of the Desert Land Act, but the
record shows that Mr. Sargent was
not the authorof the act; which
originated iu tho House of Repre
sentatives, then Democratic, and
that he offered several amend
- merits,, which were adopted in the
Senate, calculated to guard against
the abuses and frauds from which
no land laws are! entirely exempt,
since the acqusition of land fraud
ulently is more frequent under tho
homestead acts than uuder any
- '&&( Statutes. The' .announce
meat af'Mr. Sargent's -prospective
appointment as Secretary of tho
Interior has-been heartily approved
by all the newspapers of Call-
rr ...forma, both Republican and Dem
ocratic, with but a single excep
tion.. We have had tho heaviest snow
of the season during the last week,
with a few days sleighing and
lively times generally about the
Capital. Congress, too, is finally
doing something in tho way of
business. Tho three per cent,
bond measure, which has been
under discussion in the Senato,
now stands, a fair chance of defeat.
The Democratic Senators are, with
two or. three exceptions against it.
So, also, are Senators Plumb,
Windom, and. one or two others
on the Republican side. The
Democrats favor a three per cent
. bond, with the provisions of the
Vest amendment, but the Sherman
bill does not reach the banks and
is therefore unsatisfactory to them.
The House is very slow in getting
at tho new apportionment, but it
is apparent that the membership
of that body will "be increased.
The majority of the Census Com
mittee favor 320 as tho number of
members, and on this basis the
representation of twenty-one States
will bo increased and that of five
- -.States decreased. . The present
number of Representatives is 293
and it is very much to bo regretted
that no .plan for reduction Cnds
favor among the members. Out
siders who know anything about
it all agree that thebest interests
of the country would be sorved by
a decrease. The House as now
constituted is often little better
than a mob. To add twenty-seven
members is to add to the ineffi
ciency, confusion, "and non-productiveness
'of the body which
holds the purse-strings of the Na
tion. Nobody knows this better
than the members themselves, but
they aro loth to decrease their own
chances of re-election by reducing
the number of districts in their
States. They hope . rather to in
crease them byadding on a district
or two.
Strangers in the city who come
here to enjoy themselves and see
the sights complain of the dullness
of society chiefly because there has
been nothing going on at the
White House; but among the
habitutes of a select social circle
there has been uo end of enjoy
ment since the inauguration of the
gay season, January 1st. Dinners
are the principal attractions and
George Gorliam, soured and dys
peptic as ho is politically, says
that this is an era of good eating.
There never were so many elabo
rate dinners as have been given in
the month just closed. Tho fash
ionable up-town restaurants havo
each frequently had two and three
lare private dinner parties in one
evening, where everything was
conducted on the most elaborate
scale. These were mostly where
private residences were insufficient
to accommodate the company. At
a dinner given by a Senator a few
nights since there were twelve
different kinds of wine served, and
this was not considered anything
unusual. Engagements to dinner
are so common that in tho last
week several prominentgentlemcn
were compelled to invite their
friends to breakfast as the only
way to get them together. A dis
tinguished member of the bar
to-day said to an eminent member
of the bench: "Judge, if these"
dinners don't stop, the President
will soon have several fine ap
pointments at his disposal."
Some time ago Commissioner of
Patents Marble tendered his resig
nation, to take effect as soon as
his successor could be appointed,
.pending which he retired from the
office. Thero were several appli
cants for the position but no
selection was made, and this week,
upon an intimation from tho Presi
dent that such a course would
please him. Mr. Marble withdrew
his, resignation and again assumed
charge of the office. This result
is a source of gratification in and
out of tho patent office, Mr. Mar
ble being a man of rcmarkablo
administrative ability, and very
popular. General Butler has been
conspicuous among the Capital
visitors this week and one day
held a protracted conversation with
Senator Mahone on the floor of the
Senate. It is suggested that tho
latter was giving him "points" for
his next Gubernatorial campaign.
It is also asserted .that one object
of his present visit is to renew his
point as to what is a legal hanging
in this District. Some years ago
General Butler was counsel for a
man convicted of murder and he
then maintained that- under the
old law in force here hanjnnjr must
bo done with chains. General
Grant commuted the sentence of
Butler's client so that the question
was not settled but lie now calls
Mr. Sco'ville's attention to the law.
Spot.
M-. Thompson's Views'.
The following leUer from D. P.
Thompson was read at tho meet
ing . of the Portland Board of
Trade last Monday evening:
Washington City, Jan. SO, 18S2.
" Donald Macleay, Esq., Presi
dent of the Portland Board of
Trade Dear Sir.: I havo been
hero two weeks.- I wroto to Mr.
Arnold, the Secretary of tho
Board of Trade, some days ago,
giving a statement of our pro
gress here. Gen. "Wright, tho
chief of the engineer department,
is very wiling to aid us to tho best
of his ability in securing appropri
ations for the improvement of the
Willamette and Columbia livers,
but is disposed to look with sus
picion on tho appropriation for the
Columbia river bar, because of the
adverse report made by the Now
York board of engineers. 1 had
an hour's talk with him to-day on
the subject, and find that, he has
somewhat modified" his views on
that matter. I am in hopes we
will be able to get a favorable
statement from him yet on that
item in the river and harbor ap-,
propriation bill.
Gen. Hazen has adopted Capp
Hancock for a signal station in
place of Tillamook Rock, and hut
one thing remains now and that is
to get 15,000 appropriated to
establish it. Lieut. Kilbournc has
written hero to Gen. Hozen rec
ommending Cape Hancock.
On my way down tho Columbia
in the steamer Columbia, Capt.
Bolles called my attention to the
necessity of "stake lights" at
Walker's Island bar and Martin's
Island, two at the mouth "of the
Willamette, one at Post Office and
one at Swan Island bar. Tho six
to cost .not more than $3,000.
Our Representatives and Senators
will do all possible for the appro
priation. On receipt of your telegram for
me to telegraph you one thousand
dollars of. the amount appropri
ated for securing appropriations
for the river and bar, I sent a tele
gram to Mr. Spencer, cashier of
the Portland Savings Bank, to pay
to the order of the Board of Trade
that amount. I called on the Sec
retary of War in relation to hav
ing thework continue so long as
expenses were paid by private
parties and was promised it should
be done but it -was neglected.
On receipt of your telegram of
yesterday (Sunday) I immediately
prepared a statement for Gen.
Wright, and early this morning
called, on him and succeeded in
getting a telegram to Capt. Powell
to continue work with private sub
scription. I also sent a telegram
that my expenses would not ex
ceed nino hundred (900) dollars,
and that the balance of the money
subscribed could bo used. I shall
use uo more than 8900 so you can
dispose of the balance as tho
Board of Trado sees fit. I have
had tho address of tho Board of
trade printed, 2,000 copies, and
distributed among the members of
the House and Senate. I havo
seen most of tho leading mombers
and received most flattering assur
ances of support. Representative
George and Senator Slater are
very active and will do all within
their power- for us. I presume
Senator Grover will do what he
can. Delegate Brents will also
assist in anything possible.
Congressman Page, chairman of
committee on commerce, will, j
am assured by him, favor us in
this, matter, as also Senators Miller"
and Farley, of California, who are
especially friendly. Ex-Attorney
General Williams will also add
his valuable assistance; also ox
Senator Mitchell, who is also here,
and will do all he can for our aid.
I have furnished these gentlemen
with a number of -copios of the
Board of Trade. I have sent a
number to the members of tho
Board of Trado of Portland. 1
will go to New York in a few days
and see Mr. Villard on this sub
ject. Senator Windom will add
his great influence in our behalf,
and he possesses more influence,
perhaps, iu this respect, than any
member of tho Senate.
I -have not yet had timo to go to
Philadelphia to see the tugs there,
but will within a week, and let
you know the price and power of
the togs, and their adaptability for
our waters,
I have called the attention of
our Representatives and Senators
to the telegram you sent mo in re
Iation to the bankrupt law.
I feel very sanguine of our being
able to get a., large appropriation
for our rivers and the bar of the
Columbia, which, in my. opinion,
is of more importance than the
rivers, because the" city of Port
land can raise the money to clear
the river, if absolutely necessary,
while the bar is. beyond our means.
From the way business is pro
gressing, I can see no reason why
I should stay here longer than the
18th of February. Represents
tive George has pi epared a speech
on the subject of "Columbia River
Bar Improvements," which I think
covers all that can besaid on tho
subject. You need not writu mo
after receipt of this letter, but
should you wish to communicate
by telegraph, do so up to tin; 18th.
I am ven' respectfully, your
obedient servant.
