his conduct In bidding adieu to his

himself before congress, there to de
liver up his sword and voluntarily dl
vest himself of the supreme command.
Washington assembled hi army for
the last time at Newburgh. To the

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 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.
