WASHINGTON t.ETSWWB '^ftj (rrom oar regntar corresgonuret .} . I WiSHtaoro* March. 15th. 1884. It ia quite oommoo la three daya for people to sigh crrer tbe degeneracy of modern politicians and to contrast tbe : eloquence and ability of Ibe men wbo aerrrd Id Congress with Webster and . Calhoun and Clay with the commonplace r stupidity of the public man of to-day. 1 hare be doubt, bow cm, that the House of Repreeenutires of the Forty-eighth 3 Congrats will oom parr farorebly in polnl ' of Intelligence, and ia point of ability to show that intelligence to tbe beet adran- . tsgr. with say House which has pseeeded . it. It rosy be this rery fact which lends to make tbe lower' bouse cumbrous tod unwieldy In tbe transaction of public business, because a man whs can talk well it apt lo talk often and long regardless of 1 the fact that "time files.- Ofie great difference between tbe Congress of to day . and that of fifty or more years ago In that ; the general swage of ability is grreler r and that brilliant men shine out less conspicuously. In Jlie present Congress tbe proportion of members serring a first term is unusually large, and the number of 1 tbem wbo bare proved thcmsrlrrs able to 1 cope with their "mora experienced colleagues turprtdngly so. Amoog tbc I members wbo "bare shown marked "ability are Adams, of New York, who , the I'halmersManoing election case and his connection with the committee inreatigatlog Kiefer; and Broadhead,of Missouri, 1 who, though new in legislatire balls, has ' been koowa as a man of recognised 1 ability. Tbe California delegation, composed with ooe exception entirely of new and yonng men, la tbe strongest which that baa ergr sent And it is not a demagogical delegation, which is somc- , thing to say for OaHforuia. Mr. Finer! y it tbe only man whom IllioDols bat sent , for tbe first- time wbo bts made himself , prominent, and, though his objection lo tbe "Alert" resolution was a pies* of petty rpitr, bis earnest appesl for n new nary ' shows that his spite has something Behind | stronger than mere demagoguira. Tbomaa A. Robertson, fresh from Kentucky, seems to be of that indolent 1 disposition which alwaya characterizes one ' or two men in tbatdelegatioe.bui, Judging ' fron^ome brief remarks be baa made to 1 tbe Uouae.be might proves bad customer to trifle with in diacuaaiou. Ooe of tbe , best speeches made against the Fill John . Porter bill, was by Cutcheoo.of Michigan, . and ooe or the moat rattling replies tbereI to by Laird, of Nebraska, both being new r members. Pennsylvania sends many new members, wbo will, no doubt, make astir before they retire. Mr. Elliott, tbe mcmp ber-at-large. Is ooe of tbe youngest mem. c ben of tbe House, but lie bat already t taken a leading position and is recognized, 0 Dot only at an able lawyer, but a strong g and brilliant orator. Ray, of New York. P mads a rery good speech on tbe Fill John Potior bill, and succeeded in gaining tbe attention of bis colleagues on tbe floor II after they had once started to run for tbe " click rooms, as la usual when a new ° member begins to talk. " Tbe Senate baa spent much lime this d week In secret emlani.lbe result of which ' baa been the ratification of tbe reciprocity * treaty with Mexico by a two-thirds rote. c R either geographical or political lines were drawn in tbil decision, tbe main contest T over Ibe admlaion of angar from Mexico 1 tree of duty. Of course tbe Louisiana >- Senator, opposed tbe treaty warmly, but ; d those from Texas,, and tbe Mississippi b favored it. Tbe Upper House alio had * under oooaideralion tbe subject of fcrniab-_ d Ing by public method* information oo d economic question* through the establish. d meet of a bureau of labor statistics. Tbe " with tbe Department of tbe Interior I arourod tbe. opposition of Beuator Ingalla, * who claimed that Ibe duties of tbe SecreII tary of that Department were already d imsriinate, and that It was not adrisabk ' tS"add lo tbem through an attempt at c economy. Tbe bead of tbat Deparment " baa charge of the public lands cif tbe " United Btates. of Indian affaira. of tbe n Pengioo system, of Patents, of Education, f of Railroads, of the Geographical stArey I of tbe country, and Its. Cessna. . Tbe a Kansas Beuator belli that tbe affaira of D many a kingdom,- ancient, and modern r bare been less important, and leas momrnII too* than those now administered by the ' Secretary of tbe Interior. Senator Van r iVyck took the position that such a oolite. 1 lion of statistics would never be read, and - con, plained that an expensive commission 3 or bureau was tbe universal panacea for 1 crery feeijog that required attention in * thi. coantry. He tild it was true labor ' requited something it dii not bare, but e tbat something vraa relief from taxation, 1 some protection lo nave it from paying in- - lo the Treasury of the United Btatc. tbe aame amount of mooey tbat Gould nr ■ Ysnderbilt pays. Beuator Blair defined ' tbe proper subject-matter of tbe InvesUga- ' tions of a buieau sf labor statist lea to be 1 whatever appertains to tbe laborer under ■ the condition* of American life, what ever condition pbyflcally, socially, morally, 1 and itrteiemually. 9 In tbe House of Reprcsesalives tbe ' tariff and post office bills have been I procnlorat features of Ibe week. Tbe * long expected measure to redooe Import Duties and WarTWiff Taxes waa reported " by (bainnan Morrisoc oo Tuekday, - tngetber with a report prepared by him in - behalf of the majority, and one by Mr, r Mckinley, representing tbe views or tbe - minority of Ibe Ways, and Means oom- ' mtttec. Tbe derision waa oo strict party > lines, eight Democrat* signing Mr. Morri- < aon'i report and five RepubBcans that of - Mr. MeKiniey. II Tbe Past office appropriation bill baa < tern lengthily discuamd and is still under "• cum-SerstloB. Tbe debate baa been T stroogty flavored with party venom, the d Republicans com end teg for s liberal r" aur xint for postmaster! salaries, and Ibe c ml. way mall aervice, while accusing tbe ^ DemncraU of inexcosabie parsimosy. c Tbe latter urge economy and maintain n tbat tiw record of tbe other aide lias bees c«' ol Indiscriminate prodlagaiily.

Tbe 11 "Southern brigadier." have alwaya voted in Congress for pensions and arrearages " for tbe Union veterans. * Tbe labored article, rent out by friend. ' of Mr. Arthur, to the effect that be is virtuously lying back for the people, i re. elect him without making any effort on | bis own part, causes a broad mile to illume the features of tbnae who know Just what ia going on. As a matter of fact, no Presi. ' dent ever need bis position for tbe pnrprae " of securing a rraomlnalisa to a greater i xf tent than Arthur is now doing. Mr. Blaine ' secrns tobe ndistorber of tbe peaceamong ' the Republican candidates. "He ia not 9 seeking tbe nomination," ray hia friends f and apparently tbe Planted Knight >■ unf disturbed by tbe dreams tbat haunt others d wbo bare the White House in their line ' '- of vision. The veteran politician*, bo*D ever, do not credit tbe statements of Blaine's friends, and bis unquestionable ' popularity with the mum of his party in 8 certain Stales eaosra wcD grounded ap0 prehension. Blaine mgy not be seeking r tbe nomination, Init he is not indifferent * to the progress of the ranvara being made 11 _ by tboae wbo are seek tog it, and tbat lie '■ will dam a potent inOuenoe at tbe Chicago convention ia morally certain.

Blaine ia not seeking the * Presidency, because be is one of those * sagacious men wbo learn from experience. Having failed twice xU>e seeking Die ^ nomination .
