Washington Letter.
irrom our Ecgular Correspondent.!
'SrxattisiaTos, D. C, March 14, 188.'.
The appearanca in print of the
Jetter.jy;itt?nby General Garfield to
Secretary Chase in 1863 has created
a sensation here, and it is regarded
unfortunate that the publication
was made. General", Garfield at
that time was chief of staff to
General Eosecrans, who com
manded the army of the Cumber
land. The letter criticises the
policy of.Gcrieral.Rosecrans as one
of -'inexcusable procrastination,
and the writer expresses his inten
tion, if the inaction continued
much longer, to ask to be sent
somewhere where he could be part
of a working army. General Rose
crans, who is now a member of the
Houso from California, says he
very much-regrets the appearance
of such a hitter, more on account
ot the injury to the .memory of
Garfield than on his own aceount.
The point made is" that, occupying
confidential relations to his superior
officer, writing such a letter,whether
its charges were true or not, was a
breach of faith and subject to
court martial. There appears to
bo little if any doubt of the genu
ineness of the letter,and the friends
of the late President are not pleased
that it has-been made public. He
is not here to defend or explain,
and the inevitable result of the
publication-will be to stir up bad
.feeling and- give currency to gos
sip, idle, and otherwise. .Already"
gossip on the-subject has com
menced and it is asserted that at
the time of General Rosecran's re
moral from tho command of the
Army of tho Curabeiland Genoral
Garfield,- who' had then come to
Washington to take Ins seat in
Congress, -xpjresped "great regret
and- -was loud in his praise of
,JKosecransa3an "able military
chieftain. Afterwards," it h al-
Ioged;-PftJsWeilt Lincoln, when in
- formqd tal General -Garfield'n ex-
pressionsj, .remarked with much
surpnso that it was principally on
account of -General Garfield's
statements aud repn
that General Roecrans had been
removed." It is chanred that tins
letter was published in the interest
, of Fitz John Porter, against whose
restoration to the army Garfield
s wasUhoroughly" opposed, having
been a member of the court mar
rial that dismissed him.
Persons niio have schemes be
fore Congress for subsidies and
kindred matters are struck dumb
with amazement and admiration
tohear that the Commerce Commit
tee reports in favor of guaranteeing
Six per.. cent interest on 550,000,
000 bonds for the mythical shin
railway of Capt. Eads across the
Ifithmjns. Mr. .Eads has always
been remarkably successful in en
gineering his projects through
Cbrigress;,NaTid perhaps one reason
for Iiir" success is that he never
strikes! for paltry hundreds
thousands, as do tln "more modest
beleairuers of tho Tinasnrv. hut
VV JJ
" -boldly rdemands millions. But it
is easier to get through a commit
tee .than through the whole
Senate, and easier to carry
a scheme through the latter
- ' body with its 7G members than
i through the 'House with its 293.
So Eads is not out of the woods
yef. ; lit tW hbuse he will have
hard work- to cbncilliatc Holman
tho objector. Holman is always
in session when tho House ii, and
' Speakpr Kieter has doubtless
found out by this ti.Tie that the
rugged old Iloosier is, by the tlis
pcrisation of nature a member of
., all committees, and by virtue of
bisown indefatigable industry
personally in charge of all bills
that have money in them. Hol
. ii doesn't sit in the committee

theyhresure. to find Holman
around when the boring begins,
and just as well informed as any.
member of tho committee about
tho sizo of the proposed hole.
Concross
pegs along without
much excitement. The
old cry that "the Chinese must go"
has taken fresh impetus, and
judging by a vote of nearly two
to one in the Seatc, the influx of
almond-eyed Celestials will be
stopped if legislation can stop it.
There is alse n strong probability
that we shall have some tariff
legislation after all. Mr. Wm. E.
Chandler expects to be made Sec
retary of the Navy very soon,
though old Hunt, as the politicians
call him, has seemed to be fixed to
stay. His young wife, who is his
third, is a good deal of a "society"
woman, and has laid herself out
to make things pleasant for tho
President a widower in the prime
of life, handsome, gallant, well
fed, and fond of social life. This
"society" business is a most pow
erful lever to work on a man mIio
is in power and who is fond of ii,
and the impression exists here
that the Hunts are working it for
all it is worth. Secretary of State
Frelinghuysen has three daughters
who figure- prominently in all of
the lum-tum social gatherings.
Spot.
A suggestive fact in connec
tion with the, passage of the Chi
nese bill in the Senate is that out
of the 2S Senators who rightly
voted in favor of it, but 7 were
Republicans; while out of the 13
Senators who wrongly voted
against the passage of a bill that
was demanded, 13 were Republi
cans. This-is a bad showing, a
shameful record for the Republi
can party in the United States
Senate.
