FROM WASHINGTON
The House will take up 'the Geneva Award bill to-day. There remains some $10,000,000 oi the Geneva award undistributed. The bill provides for the payment, out of the fund, of the louse* by t o sets of the exculpated cruisers, and the extra premiums of insurance made necessary by the presence on ihe seas of these Confederate cro ! s>T •. From present indications a vote wdll be r< si t ed on the 'Tariff Commission bill kt the end of next week, and the bill will pass. A delegation from Louisiana is here urging appropriations to rebuild the levee's. It is estimated that it will cost $1,500,000, to rebuild those carried
away.
Mrs. Masou has a letter from her husband. His health is gooei. Hhe has received some 52,000 in donations, depositing most of the sum in the bank here. The Chinese Minister left for Bpain to-day, to which lie is accredited a Minister. He is accompanied by an interpreter and two attaches. Bcoville has gone to Brooklyn, wliere lie lectures Thursday on “Gui teauism, Its Uses and Abuses.” Kooville seems in bad health aud much depressed. The trial has been a terrible strain, mentally, physically and financially on him. There soems to be doubt about Dorsey's return. Ingersoll Insists that he is in New Mexico, aad will have him here in a few days, but some believe that he will leave the country rather than stand a trial. The Richmond Whig predicts the elec.ion of eight Beadjuster Congressmni in Virginia on a platform indorsing Arthur and his Administration. McLatie's resolution to abrogate the fifth and sixth articles of the Burlingame treaty is intended to pave the way for the pa-sago of a Chinese bill without ihe violation of the tr.*aty ubligatioiis. McLsue was Minister to China ..iider President Pierce, and WiMs in iuion on his experiences
there.

It is also ex peoted that a mass meeting wdll tie held for the same purpose, to be addressed by Congressmen and others. Mr. Rounds assumed the duties of his office to-day, visitiug the printing office, and assuring the empoyes there would lie no changes of importance. Hewitt’s tariff speech is attracting much attention. It may make him a candidate for Governor of New York, and perhaps a Presidential candidate. There have been 200,Out) coplee tile-
tribnted.
i Governor Crittenden says he didn’t hire Ford to kill Jesse James or offer any inducemente, except to state In reply to his ipicution what was the amount of the sianding reward offered, and that he would give him the lienefit of his protection. He says the death of James will end the gang’s operations. The compulsory retirenieut clause of the Army bill is -aid to be the creation of Genera, Sheridan, who wants General Sherman out of the way; that Sheridan is the favorite of Secretary Lincoln, who recognises his father's regard for “Little Phil,” and Sheridan, Lincoln, Logan and Bragg are said to have worked the plan k through. All of which must be taken for what it is worth, with a strong leaning on the doubtful side, Sheridan ' and T.inci n not U-hig schemer*.

A h II wai favorably reported to the l L House t« -day to prevent national banks i;suing over 90 per cent, of the face value < f the bonds deposited, and ' when the bonds fall below par, only 00 i per cent, of the selling price. It h whispered that Secretary of the luterior Teller will probably remove Assistant Secretary Bell, Chief (dark Lockwood, and, i>erhaps, Indian Commissioner Price, having had some trouble on former oocasiaus iu getting his work attended to by these worthies a« promptly as should have been
done.
It is the growing impression Ihat
the tariff will be *be prominent party issue in the nest campaign. Tne discussion, besides showing a wide divergence of views, has brought the question more prominently to ihe front as an issue than for years. Only two speeches iu the house favored party lines. Dunuell, who favored free trade, and Ujwon, of Texas, who favored the Kasson bill and mouerate protection. Secretary Chandler will assume the duties ef his position as Secretary of the Navy Department next week. He wili advocate vigorous work to increase the uavy. The Chief Clerk of the Agricultural Department left for Chicago and St. Ixiuls to purchase seeds for the overfloweri region, under the recent appropriation. Colonel lugersoll has a dispatch from 8. W. Dorsey that lie will lie here Monday. He wants an early trial. The Delaware and Maryland peach crop is reported to be badly injured by the recent freeae. The compulsory retirement hill is quite popular with the army. A petitiou wns signed by a thousand officers asking its passage. As several of the affidavits sent lo England regarding Dr. Lamson, the convicted poisoner, will arrive too late, Secretary Freelinghuysen has cabled the substance of them, urging Mr. Lowell to deliver it to Earl Granville. Mr. Brewster, the Attorney General, thinks the new evidence very import-
ant.
The reports of the prospective removal of Secretary Lincoln seem to he entirely unfounded. The statement that army officers dislike him because of hie overbearing manner, is denied. They say he is extremely courteous to all, and have no occasion to complain
of him.
The reports from the Arapahoe and Cheyenne Indian Agency, where an outbreak is anticipated, show that the Indian Agent has borrowed 400 head of cattle and will thus be able to feed the starving Indians and bridge over the danger until the appropriation reaches him. John M. Hubbard, of Chicago, who was appointed Agent at Seal Island, Alaska, has declined. The salary is $2,960 and 5000 for expenses. It is staled on good authority that Consul Carter, of Venezuela, will lie recalled, aud John Baker, of Illinois, his predecessor, returned. It is also stated on good authority that Judge Taft is to lie made Minister to Austria. This seems to lie quite well founded. Minister Lowell will not now lie recalled, as it will look too much like yielding toalamor. •vv-^ik. : iMainutme been rec&iiea.and will probably tender his resignation on

The free-trade Democrats are making strenuous efforts to have the eoni-
know say that his prospects are good. Judge Taft, of Cincinnati, will probably be nominated Minister to Austria. The salary Is $12,000 per year. The Republican, the official organ, urges the jiassage o' the Chinese bill, as modified, before the arrival of the 2,000 Chinese now eu route to San Francisco. It will allay public feeling and prevent a possible riot. The bill will probably pass, under a suspension of the rules Monday, and lie pushed through the Senate and
signed.

ing political campaign conducted up
on the issue 0/ tariff reform, bnt this is | at St. Petersburg, under date oi March stoutly opposed by protectionists not I 31, inclosing a letter from Chief E11only, but by others of the party, who, j giueer Melville, dated January 81, and
though themselves iu favor of the tariff reform, are unwilling to make it an issue. Some of the party leaders who advocate making tariff reiorin prominent this year, with the view of fighting the next Presidential campaign upon it, are provoked at the disposition manifested to avoid this issue. One of these, a prominent member of Congress, said to-day that ho had no hopes of Democratic suocoee until the party declare itself upon distinctive principles; that he was in favor of the party planting itaelf squarely upon tariff reform, and of saying to those who do not agree with Oils issue, that they had better get out of tlie Democratic party. He said: “Aslong as one-half the Democrats in Congress continue to vote against tlie other half on questions in which tlie people are mostly interested, he will never succeed." The escape of Captain Howgate, who yesterday slipped from the custody of a bailiff while visiting his family, is the principal topic of conversation to-day. No doubt too much leniency has been exercised by the officials in his case for months past. It Is not probable,that Howgate will lie seen In this country again. Nellie Burrill, “the woman in the case,” is still missing, and probably either joined him or preceded him to the place agreed upon. She has been in the habit of visiting him in the jail and spending hours of consultation with him. Slie was there Wednesday aud had two hours’ oousultution with him in the Warden's office. Great indignation is felt at the loose manner in which so notorious a criminal .and violater of social decency has been handler!. It is believed by many that Howgate is still hiding in the city. It is probable a large reward will be offered for his arrest in a dsy or two, as detectives are doing little now. Sooville is more despondent than ever. His lecturing seems to have been a dead failure. Much sympathy Is felt for him here, and it Is not impossible that his petition to Congress lor payment ns counsel for Guiteau may receive some attention.

The new French tariff has cut off the trade with that country, though the trade with the United States, England and South America is still maintained.

had been about $250,000 a year, rapidly increased In 1869 to $988,000 and in 1872 to $1,119 000, but since then has declined to $317,000 in 1880, aud rose

SiK—Your letter of the 22*1 ultimo has beeu duly considered. The inquiry in regard to whether tlie Executive Orders, pages 321 aud 323, P. L , and Reg., 1879, include employes of postoffices, is answered in tlie negative, unless the employment interferes with the efficient discharge of their duties iu tlie post-office. A postal clerk may, under this limitation, accept the idfi *e
of Alderman.
In regard to the provisions of the order relative to the “participation in political campaigns,” as far as they are applicable to the postmasters and other employes of this department, I desire to say that the fact that a citizen is deemed worthy and competent to fill a public station should not, in ray Judgment, deprive him of any of ids rights as a citizen, so long as he does not neglect the duties intrusted to him. I believe it the right of every man to use his best efforts to promote, by all proper means, tlie success of all public ami v io 'i'icttl measures that will, in his judgment, be heuefleial to his country. Earnestness in the discharge of their duties as citizens should not involve offensiveness on the part of public servants. On this sui ject let me quote from the letter of General Arthur iu accepting the nomination tendered by the Republican convention at Chicago. His language is parlicularly applicable to the inquiry you
make. He si
"I will add that, by the acceptance of public t’i 'e, whether high or low, one does not, in my judgment, escape any of hi.- respionsibilities as a citizen, and th t be should enjoy absolute liberty 10 tbiuk and speak and act in political matters according to iris own will and conscience, provided’ only bat he In n irebly, faithfully and fully discharges and his official duties.” Within the limit indicated the public officer is a tree man socially uml politically, with a man’s duties and responsibilities to answer for.

A number of persons have known George Hazzard personally, while a great many have heard of him, and in a manner not altogether to Air. Haxzard's credit, lie lias been personally known to tin* writer since childhood, and though he is yet young in years, having been born in New Carle s Hue thirty-five years ago, it must lie said that his life bus not been one of continual sunshine, nor Ins pathway always been strewn with roses. For much of this, however, he was not blameless, aud from our own knowledge of bis opportunities we know tnat it was in his power to have become a useful, honored and honorable citizen. Ho was a valiant soldier in the war of the rebellion, being a member of the old thirty-sixth Indiana regiment, and was severely wounded at the liuttle of Stone river, carrying the ball, a large sized minnie, until within the lust throe or four years, R 'covering from this wound, and but little over age, be pr. sented himself hh a cadidate for treasurer of Henry county. He was nominated and elected, and came within only a few votes of being renominated for a second term. Retiring from the office of county treasurer he established the Citizen's batik of New Castle, which finally merged into the Citizen’s State hank aud is now the leading banking institution of that place. It is not necessary to go into a history of his connection with these bunks, the subject tieing of local importance piriucipally, but quite well understood there.

Goorgo Washington and his Mules. Norfolk Lamlmnrk. Few of the farmers of this ciuotry are aware wiiat a debt of gratitude they owe George Washington for the introduction bt mules into general use for the purposes of (lie farm. Washington became con voiced that the introduction of mules among tlie Southern planters would be a blessing. As soon as it I'ecam* 1 known that the illustrious Washington d* ired to stock his Mount Vernon estate with mules, tlie King of Spain sent him a jack and two jennets from the roval stable, and Lafayette sent him an other jack and jennet from the Island of Malta. The first was called the Knight of Malta. He theu bred his brood mares to these jacks, and produed such excellent mules that the country was agog to breed some of the same sort,and it was not long be fore they were common. This whs tlie origin of improved mules iu the Uniteil States.
