Washington assembled hi army for the last time at Newburgh. To the tune of "Koslln Castle" the soldiers' dirge his bravo .comrades passed slowly by their great leader and filed away to their respective .homes. Before congress at Annapolis on December 23, 1783, he delivered his commission amid scenes almost as Im pressive as his leave-taking from hi army. From that august body he re tired to his home at Mount Vernon, with no thought of further honors from bis country, and it was with re luctance that he left his retirement when chosen the first president of the United States. . .,.

When Washington Was Abused. - In the Morris house on August 12, 175)5, Washington signed the Jay treaty with England, losing thereby most of his remnant of support in the house of representatives. .-Abuse culminated in the serious suggestion to impeach him. The constitution having .for obvious reasons confined the treaty making pewer to . tho (executive and the sen ute, Washington refused to grant the request of the house of representatives for the correspondence leading up to the treaty. The storm of Indignation that followed .did not spare even; Ms personal character. "A Calm Observ er" stated in a newspaper that Wash- Jlngton had stolen $4,750. Washington on Preparedness.
