The city—Resignation of Secretary Boutwell —President Grant s Administration— The Grant-Sumner quarrel—Senators Schurz and Drake—Indictment of Con gressmen—“The Washington Chronicle'* —New Democratic Daily—The Pacific Railroads liable for the payment of in terest on U. 8, Subsidy bonds.— Washington, Dec, 17th 1870. To the Editor of tht Journal. The City. Since 1 last addressed you the national Capitol has been transformed from apparent inaction to the activity and whirl of polities and fashion, which bring together daring a session of Congress thousands of men and women from ail over the land, and make Washington full of life and gossip. Beside Congressmen and their families there are the newspaper men (,correspondents), the lobbyists, and always an army of visitors. Winter is here, but the weather lias been delightful thus tar with the exception of two or three windy days. Ice has not formed in the open air except during three or four nighte and then very slightly. We have had no snow and very little rain—altogether lovely has the face of nature appeared, smiling with bright sunshine—the lawns are still green and the roses are still blooming in the open air. Not a week ago we had a brilliant bouquet of roses, clipped from hushes in a garden here. The city is improving so rapidly ip the num beiattnd character of ita dwellings and public edifice athat it occasions remark even among those who are the most interested in its progress—it is a matter of wonder why Washington, with no material prosperity auch as builds up other large cities, should nearly double her population in the last ten years. I believe the real secret is the climate, with which every one who has resided here fbr a year or two becomes charmed. For th* last two days the city has been fall of rumors connected with The nEstoNATioN of Secretart Bovtwell. The New York and Boston correspondents telegraphed to their respective papers Wednes day night that the Secretary had or was to resign, to make way for a Pennsylvanian. Gold went up one per cent in New York on the strength of the rumor, and every body was talking about it Thursday on the street, on the floor of the Senate and House, and in the Treasury itself. It really seemed as though there must be something in it this time, though such a report had once 01 twice before been circulated without foundation. The President and Secretary both emphatically deny that there is any cause for the rumor, and say they have never had any disagreement or misunderstanding either publicly or private. 1'hc tiling ia utterly absurd. For Gen. Grant to drop Secretary Boutwell would be equiva lent to taking from the Administration its chief pillar of strength. Take away the strength given by th success of the Secre tary's financed policy and you leave the Re publican party weak in this transformation period when there are really no lire issues ful ly developed before the country. The Presi dent may have faults common to all humanity,^ but we know that hia souud common aenae will not allow him to deliberately tear away from under him the rock to which hia hopes of future success are anchored. The Treasury Department is the great all powerful machine that holds the destinies of an Administration within its power. With a master at ita head the President is comparatively safe. During times of peace the Treasury Department is by far the most important of all the Govern ment Departments, and it is freely admitted that its successes gave great strength to the party all over the country in the recent elec tions. Although the Secretary of State stands nominally at the Head of the Cabinet officers, his is not really the most important position, for we are not like European nations con stantly liable to foreign complications. With the broad Atlantic surging between ub and Europe on the East and the broader Pacific separating us from Asia on the West,we have nothing to fear from foreigners. They may tiireaten and bluster as much as they please but they dare not attack us. They envy the Great Republic, but the Great Republic has no need to envy them; they are declining—we are advancing with sure and rapid strikes. President Grant's Administration is the best the country has had for twenty years. The laws are well executed, the revenues are faithfully collected, and the Public Debt is rapidly melting away. To-day Gen. Grant stands far better before the coun try than President Lincoln did in the second year of his administration. He has made some mistakes—but none which the people are unwilling to overlook, and were a nomi nation to be made now tor President he would surely be the man, and as surely be tri umphantly elected. If he Uvea he will be re nominated in 72; and Chief Justice Chase now being out of the way (owing to the feeble ness of his health) the Democarts will not be able to placa a candidate before the people who will stand a chance of successfully com peting with Grant. They will probably nom inate Hancock, but even he will fail before the great glory of a greater General. Tub Grant-Scmneb oi-ahrbl is a very unfortunate affair, but the friends of both gentlemen are quietly bat earnestly Hy ing to briug about amicable relations. It will bo recollected that the ill feeling was first caused by the course pursued by Senator Sum ner on the San Domingo treaty. The Presi dent certainly understood Mr. Sumner to he in favor of its passage at an interview which

Page 2

they had before the treaty was sent to tbs Senate. Of this there can be no doubt; and the President was consequently very much chagrined when Mr. Sumner vehemently op posed Its ratification in the Senate. There certainly was an appearance of duplicity on the part of thj latter. This state of feeling restrained Mr. Sunnier from seeing the Presi dent when the latter wa* urged to recall Min v inter Motley. Had the President and Mr. Sumner been on friendly terms the latter would undoubtedly hare prevailed spon the President to at least delay the recall, and the ill feeling between them would not have been greatly Increased as it was by the violent manner in which Mr. Sumner opposed the appointment of a successor to Mr. Motley, in the Senate. It is certainly to be hoped that »■-wounds will be healed. The President has made a very fair and honorable concession in the San Domingo matter by agreeing to the appointment ot Commissioners to examine the question fully by going to the Island and ascertaining the feelings of the people upon the matter, their financial condition, &c. There can be little doubt but the wisdom ot the President's course will be finally vindi cated. Senators Schurz axi> Drake have both made their great speeches this week in vindication of their respective courses in Missouri. The effort of Senator Drake, which was made yesterday, was a masterly one, and was listened to by an immense audience of deeply interested spectators. Senator Schurz himself on the floor ol the Senate conceded ii to have been a very, able and telling speech. In his remarks Senator Drake bade farewell to the Senate .in feeling and appropriate lan guage. He will enter upon his duties as Chiet Justice of the Court of Claims next week, for which position he is fully qualified. There is probably no man of greater ability in the Sen ate than Senator Drake; but his manner is lot popular with the people. He was a better man for war times than ior peace. Ills Sen atorial term does not expire until .1873, am! there is considerable danger that the Missouri Legislature will elect a Democrat to serre out during the unexpired term. A strong effort it being made to unite the two wings (if the Republican party in that State and thus pre vent the choice of a Democrat. It ia thought by those who ought to know that, the union will be accomplished; but it ia doubtful even then whether the Legislature will prove to have a Republican majority, though it is claimed that there in a majority of six on joint ballot. Senator Schurz protests against being ruled out of the party, and is evidently much troubled at the situation of affairs. The Iedictment of Congressmen liow$n of South Carolina for bigamy and of Butler of Tennessee for forgery by the. Grand Jury of tiie District during the past work hat created a considerable stir in politico* circles. Bowen came out in a card declariag. his inno cence and charging liis persecution, to his po litical and personal enemies, chief of whom is one Dr. Mackey, late Collector, of Charleston, who was ousted from that position partly through Bowen's influence. Last Spring Bowen married a somewhat noted woman, Mrs. Pettigrew King of South Carolina, who waa a clerk in. the General Post Office, and it is alleged)tout, bn has another wife living. Buder 4 charged with forging pension pa pers.. He is generally considered its rather a disreputable man. The “Washington Chronicle” is offered for sale liy its ow ner Col. Korney be deciding, it is said, to devote his entire at tention to the “Philadelphia Press.” The “Chronicle” is the Government paper, and the only reliable administration organ in Washington, although there, are two other professedly Republican sheets, ‘‘The National Republican” and “The Evening Star.” A New Iphmocratic Daily called “The Patriot” was started here a few weeks since by Mr. Corcoran, the rcbel-sym pathisbig Banker, and other Democrats. It takes the place of “The National Intelligen cer" which died, was resuscitated by the no a torions Alexander Delmar of statistical fame, I and having proved a disastrous venture was finally compelled to suspend, and is (or was a short time since) published in New York. The decision of the Attorney General yes terday that the Pacific Railroads are liable for interest upon the subsidy bonds (issued to them by the United States.) before the maturity of the bonds, is creating considerable excitement, and the managers of those roads are very much exercised over it. Their bonds and stock have been materially reduced in value on account of this question. They argued the case fully through their Attorneys before the Attorney General, and now they will be likely to bring a strong influence to hear on Congress to get relief. It is asserted that it will ruin the Ameses who are understood to be the most largely interested parties.

A boy by the name of Heath hud a narrow escape from drowning in Gardiner, on Mon day. He was skating on the Kennebec river, about the Gardiner bridge, when he fell into an open space, but was pulled out by some of the boys near by. The Free Baptist Church in Monmouth is enjoying a deep religious interest under the labors of Rev. N. Bard: and upwards of twenty have professed conversion, anil sever al have united with the Church by baptism. The Young Men's Christian Association of Winthrop have rendered very efficient aid in this work. A few weeks only have elapsed since the new firm of Messrs. Flagg Miller commenc ed the meat and provision business in this city, but we are glad to state that by due at tention to the wants of the eating public, they have met with success far beyond their expec tations, their large list of customers including some of the most substantial families in the city. A man named Wood or Hood, employed in teaming in Gardiner, had his right leg broken below the knee very badly the other day, so that the bone protruded through the skin. The accident was caused by a load of shocks falling from his team upon him. Dr. Hildreth was called and dressed his wounds, and at last accounts he was doing as well ns could be expected. The City Clock is on another strike. It has maintained an unjustifiable reticence for a long time—being above all considerations of what was due the public, as well as the Church Itself. Notwithstanding its unspeakable atti tude, it has had the appearance of wearing an innocent face,—dealing out the time only to such as went after it, in the figure of ticohands round. We hope it will henceforth mark time correctly, keeping clean face anil hands, and never after hold its tongue.

It, 1870. ji Gentlemen it gives me great pleasure to acknowledge the receipt of your kind invita tion to address the citizens of August i upon the subject of Free Trade, and Revenue Re form, and to accept the same in the spirit in which it is tendered. Now that the questions of the w ar are end ed, common sense and common prudence would seem to dictate a cessation of contro versy as to the past, and t^iat men of all par ties should meet in friendly consultation in regard to the living Issues of the present. Among these questions there is no one, in my judgment, mure important than tiiat of Tariff Taxation, and upon that I will lie very happy to present my views, if agreeable to you, on Wednesday evening Dec. 21st. Very truly, Your Obd't Servant. R. Hrinkekiioee. Kev. Mark Trafton; pastor of the Broadway Methodist church, South Boston, gave his celebrated lecture entitled “The Coining Woman," in Mechanics’ Hall, West Water ville, last Wednesday evening. It was a very able and witty showing up of the absurdities of the woman's rights movement. Our cor respondent at West Waterville sends us the following abstract of the lecture The question of the hour, and one causing intense Interest, and employing the best heads and ablest pens of the age. is, “What shall we do with woman?” a common sense answer to which would be, let her alone. But she will not be let alone; and equally unwil ling are we to let her alone. Sue can not be injured in our problematic life-theorem: she is not the unknown quantity but the factor, not the fraction, but the interger, so that a true estimate of human life is impracth able with woman left out. Whatever may be the role reserved for her, and we trust the future contains for her something better than the past, she has played, and honorably to her self, an important part in the great drama of human life, and still she complains, and wc frankly admit with a good show of reason. Evidently something is wrong in the social machine—some real or fancied inisadjustnu nt ot working forces. On nil sides rise com plaints and murmurs, and a demand is made fora revision of the social relations. Has the old enemy again entered the human Eden, and with glazing tongue, thrust himself be tween the man God-made, and the woman God-given Is history to repeut all her sad lessons in this age? Is rebellion to he again incited by specious pretexts, and false logic against authority, truth and nature? Is so ciety to be disorganized, and the repulsive and disgracetul scenes of the rtitjn of reason in France to be repeated in American society What demon inspired the following para graph copied from a Women’s Rights organ, “The Revolution”—“If there is one employ ment which is more than another, a mere waste of time, 1 think it is for an active, la bor-competent woman to sit from morning till night with a limp-backed baby upon her knees, devoting her whole energies to the business of putting it to sleep.” In India, in Hindustan, in China and Japan this incessant cry for “Woman’s Rights” would have some agnifleance, but not in the United States. This is a most serious and far-reaching question, involving the quietness of home, the peace of the domestic circle, and the very existence of the social stiucture. But let us have a few kind words together before we part. There are wrongs in society, but they bear as heavily upon man as upon woman; yea more so. Man lias less power for good i or evil than woman. But has the mass of I women put forth this claim, or lias some I long-bearded reformer entered the lists and thrown down the gauge or battle for the op pressed woman? The complaint is argued that woman is shut out from many branches of industrial labor. Woman has brains, j hands and heart, and from these simple prein i ises we may draw this comprehensive carrol lary. Whatever can be done by woman in any department of industrial life, she should he permitted to do, and when in quantity and quality equal to man, she should receive equal compensation.' 1 am sure of universal a-sent when I assert that woman should find j open to her all avenues to secure a living, I into which it is proper for her to enter alone, lor one may not forget her total failure in her j first at'empt at independence, and the sad re sults of her first solitary ramble. There arc some positions I had rather see filled by my son than by my daughter. 1 bad rather see her in the kitchen than on a coal cart, in the laundry than on a locomotive. In many positions, she would be like a “jewel in a swine's snout.” “The great want of France,” said the First Napoleon, “is mothers”—the great want of America is domestic women. Passing u Milestone. One of our ministers was much surprised yesterday upon going home to dinner, to find about a dozen hungry looking individuals there before him, making themselves at home in his house, and evidently on mischief bent. What made the matter look more suspicious and alarming was that they were nearly all members or ex-members of the press-gang, and those who were not might as well have been as far as looks indicated anything of their business. While the minister was won dering what was to happen, tho smiling faces of his wife and daughter appeared, and the secret was out. This was his birthday this gathering of friends was a surprise prepared for him by his kind and considerate wife. A bountiful dinner and a lively social hour fol lowed, and as happy as any was our reverend friend as he passed another milestone in the journey of life. Il was a nicely conceived and well executed plot, that will make home dearer and life sweeter, to say nothing of the relief it afforded the several famishing guests. _______ Attention is called to the advertisement of Cable Serew Wire Boots and Shoes in to-day’s paper.

Having for the last thtrty-flvc rears devoted my whole time ami attention to the study ot lung diseases and con sumption. I feel that I understand tally the course that ought to he pursued to restore a tolerably bad case of disease d lungs to h. althv soundness. '1 he first and most Important step is, forllio patient to avoid tuk.neceld; ana the best of all places on this continent fr this pur pose, in winter, is Florida, wt 11 down in the State, where the temperature is regular, and not subject to such varia tions as in more northern latitudes, ralatka Is a point I can recommend. A pood hotel Is kept there by I'eter inan. Last winter I saw several persons there whoso lungs had been badly diseased, but who. under the heal ing Influence of the climate and my medicines, were get ting will. One hundred miles farther down the river Is a point winch 1 would prefer to l'alatka, as the temperature is more e\ en and the air dry and bracing. Mellonvillc and Enterprise are located there. 1 should give a decided preference to Mellonvillc: it Is two miles from river or lake, and it seems almost impossible to take cold there. The tables in Florida might bo better, and patients com plain at times; but that Is a good sign, as It indicates a return of appetite: and, whin this is the case, they gen erally increase In flesh, and then the lungs must heal. Jacksonville, 1 libera.a, Green Cove, and many other places in various parts of Florida can bo safely recom mended to consumptives In w inter. My reasons fur say ing so are, that patient* are less liable to take cold there than where there Is a le.-s even temperature; and It Is not necessary to say, that, where a consumptive person exposes him>eIf to frequent colds, ho is certain to die shortly: therefore my advice Is, go well down Into tho State, out of the reach of prevailing ea*t winds ami fogs. Jacksonville, or almost any other ot the localities 1 have named, will benefit those w:ho are troubled with a torpid liver, a disordered stomach, deranged bowels, sore throat, or cough; but, tor those whose lungs are diseased, a more southern point Is earnestly recommended. For fifteen years prior to lv»9, I was professionally In New York, Boston, Baltimore, and 1 hiludelphia even week, where 1 saw and examined on an average five hundred patients a week. A practice so extensive, em bracing every possible phase of Jung disease, has enabled me to understand the disease fully and hence my caution In regard to taking cold. A person may take vast quanti ties of Scbcnck’s I’ulmonic Syrup. Seaweed Tonic, and Mandrake Bills,'’ and yet die it he does not avoid taking cold. In Florida, nearly everybody Is using Schenck’* Man drake Bills; for the climate is more likely to produce bilious habits than more northern latitudes. It J»a will establtshcd fact, that natives of Florida rarely die of con sumption. especially those of tho southern part. On tho other hand, in New England, one-third at least of tho population d.e of this ternbio disease. In the Middle States, it does not prevail so largely; still there are many thousand* of cases there. What a vast percentage of life would be saved If consumptives were as easily alarm ed in regard to takiug fresh cold* as they are about senr 1 t fever, small-pox, Ac. I but tiny aro not: they tuko w hat they term a little cold, which they aro credulous enough to believe will wear off in a few days. They pay no at lent ion to it; and hence it lays the foundation for another and another still, until the lungs arc diseased be yond all hope of cure. Mv advice to persons whose lungs aro affected, even slightly. Is to lay inastock if Schenck’s Bulmonic syrup, Schenck’s Seaweed Tonic, and Scht nek's Mundrakcl ills, and go to Florida. I recommend these particular medi cines, because I am thoroughly acquainted with their actum. I know, that, where they are used in strict ac cordance with my directions, they will do the work that i* required. Tins accomplished, nature will do the rest, 'ibo physician who prescribes for cold, C014I1, or night sweats, and then advises the patient to walk or ride out every day, will bo sure to havo a corpse on his hand* before lung. My plan Is, to giro my threo medicines In accordance with the print* d directions, except In some cast s w litro a freer use of the Mandrake Bills Is n* cessa ry. My object Is, to »ivo tone to the stomach, —to get up a good appe tite. ltlsalwavsagoodmignwhcn a patient begins to grow hungry: 1 havo lio|i?9 of such. With a relish for food, and the gratification of that relish, comes good blood, and with it more flesh, which is closely followed liv a healing of tho lums, then the com h loosens and abates, the creeping chills and clammy night sw eats no longer prostrate nud annoy, and the patient gets wtxl, provided he avoids taking cold. Now, there aro many consumptives who have not tho means to go to Florida. The question may he asked, Is there no hope for such? Certainly there is. My advico to such *s and ever has been, to stay in a warm room during the winter, with a temperature of about sevmty degrees, whleh should be kept regularly at that point by means of a thermometer. Let such a patient take his exerciso within tho limits of the room by walking up ami down as much asli.s strength will permit. In order to keep u;> n lualihy circulation of the blood. 1 havo cured thousands by this system, and can do so again. Con sumption is os easily cured ns any other disease, if it fs» takmint inc,nndllio proper kind of treatment is pur sued. he fact stands undisputed on record, that bclicnck’s Bulmonic Syrup, Mandrake Bills, and Sea weed ionic have cured very many of what seemed to bo hopeless cases of consumption. Go where you will, you will be almost certain to find some poor consumptive who has been rescued from the very jaw sol death by their USe. So far as tho Mandrake Pills are concerned, everybody should keep a supply of them on hand. ’1 hey act on tho liver better than calomel, and leave none or its hurtful effects behind. In fact, tluy aro excellent In all case* where a purgative medicine Is required. If you havo partaken too freely of fruit, and diarrhoea ensues, a doso of tho Mandrakes will 1 uro you. If you aro subject to sick headache, take a dose of tho Mandrakes, and they will relievo you in two hours. If you would obviate tho effect of a change of water, or the too free indulg* ncc In fruit, l ike one of tho Mandrakes every night, and you may tlim drink water, and eat water melons, pear*, ap ples, plums, peaches, or corn, w itliuut the risk of being made sick by them, 'i hey w ill protect those w lio liv c 11a damp situations against chilis and fevers, 'lrytlum.
