Washington Letter.
.
from our KcsiilirrnrresponJent.) I
Washington. D. C. May 9. 1882.
This session of Congress so far
has been remarkable for its free
dom from exciting political dis
cussions. It has really been a
period of peace, so to speak. A
leading Senator remarked to-day
in conversation that there had
scarcely been a ripple of political
antagonism stirred up on the floor
of the Senate, and ascribed this re
sult to the absence ot three Sena
tors who have heretofore been emi
nently conspicuous in fomenting
discord. One of these, Mr. Conk
ling, is no longer a member of tho
Senate, and the other two, Sena
tors Edmunds and Hill, have been
absent most of the time on account
of sickness of themselves or their
families. Speaking of Senator
Hill, tho latest reports as to his
condition have been very unfav
orable. He is now at Eureka
Springs, and his condition is re
ported so critical that his friends
may anticipate tho worst at any
moment. His wound is still un
healed, and he can eat no solid
food. He is very much depressed,
and will s-carcely take the liquid
food that his attendants prepare
for him. It is stated that his phy
sicians hare said there is no hope
for his recovery beyond tho mi
raculous curea that aro said to
have been effected at Eureka
Springs. While very much do
pressed, .Mr. Hill is represented
as being perfectly resigned to the
. worsf. Senator Hill i3 a man of
distinguished ability, and one of
tho leading debaters in the Sen
ate, and will be sadly rnis3cd not
withstanding tho peculiarity re
ferred to above, which is duo to
constitutional excitability.
There has never lieeu u more'
unanimous raid, so to speak, in tho
direction of appropriations for pub
lic buildings than is being made
this session. Bills for the erection
of eight of these structures were
passod under a suspension of the
rulos on Monday last. The amount
appropriated fry these bills :s
about a million and a half, repre
senting, accoidinij to the scale
usually applicable to such cases,
an ultimate expenditure of some
six millions of dollars. And these
aro but eight out of the hundred
and twenty or thereabouts which
await recognition. One or two
feeble pioteits ware made against
tho summary method in which
these bills aro put through, but as
nearly every member of the Home
has, or expects to have, a. bill for a
public building in his pocket, the
desire to oblijo those who aro for
tunato enough to be recognized by
the Speaker rose superior to all
considerations of party or of pub
lic duty. Mr. Hoi man was about
the oaly member who stood boldly
up in opposition to all of the ap
propriations, and he said it was
not so much against tho bills
themselves as against the lonr-roll-ing
method of putting them
through. Ho thought there ought
to be some demand for the build!
ings indorsed by a committee and
the Soeretarv of the Treasurv.
Tho buildings voted are: One in
Detroit, -$600,000; one in Denver,
300,000; ono in Jackson, Tent!.,
SC,000; onein Council Bluff, 100,
OOOjono in Peoria, Ills., 8100,000;
and others in Lynchburg, Va.,
Galveston, Texas, and Greensboro,
N. C, the first costing 100,000
and the other two 850,000 each.
The point of tho thing is that thoro
is very little use fur Government
buildings in most of these places.
The second postponement of
the. Star-route trials to await the
appearance of John W. Dorsey, r
is anotner evidence oi me desire
of tho defendants to delay the
prosecution as much as possible.
When the' were first charged
with fraud, it will be remembered
they clamorod loudly for trial,
urging that it was working them a
great injustice for the Government

only anxiety sea'ais to be to throw
as many obstar -les as possible in
the way of a speedy trial. This is
a strong indication that they are
afraid to m&et the evidence against j
them The Government is mbv-1
ing vigorously, however, and they
will soon be unable to practice
nay further evasions. To one who
is familiar with the details of the
charge this, dilatoriness is a strong
proof that the prosecution has a
good case. It was at first believed
by many here who were acquainted
with Gen. Brady that, while he
had tho opportunity to practice
tho frauds charged upon him, and
might not lack the willingness to
cngago in them, it was extremely
unlikely that a man of his ability
should not have covered up his
tracks so carefully that conviction
would bo impossible oven were
the charges entirely correct. But
this systematic course of delay
and evasion by every means avail
able has considerably shaken this
belief and brought a tendency to
ward the opinion that he will not
be able to escape the justice of
the law. His conviction, of course,
carries with it, in all likelihood,
tho conviction of all the rest con
nected with him. Spot.
