Our Washington Letter.

It is a Vefy* comnion belief that in a city, especially in one like the National Capital, there must always be matters of deep interest transpiring, so that one never need be at a loss for something to write. Undoubtedly this is a fact, bht the trouble is to be on hand when and where these things happen, and to possess sufficient judgement to sort out the interesting from the uninteresting. It is a matter of grave doubt, whether any one now living will inhabit this earth lohg enough to witness the end of the Star Route trials; yet thfc prosecutors are thoroughly in earnest, and keep the temperature m the immediate vicinity of the accused, exceedingly warm. Judge Wylie, who presides, seems to res ize that.a tremendous fraud has been perpetrated, and is determined to punish the guilty if they can be run down. The sneers and ridicule of counsel for defense, and Chandler and Ingersoll excel in that line, are inet with a stern assertion of his rights and dignity, that force respect and honor even from those unfriendly to the prosecution. January Ist being a very pleasant day was observed generally throughout the city as a day of calls and receptions. Over 800 names were in the morning papers, of families who would receive. The reception at the u hite House came to a sudden close, on account of the death of Hon. E. H. Alien, Ex Minister to the Hawaiian Islands, who fell dead, from heart disease, in the cloak room just after paying respects to the President; this, of course, put a stop to all further receptions there, while thousands were on the grounds outside awaiting their turn.

There was not near so* much drunkeness upon the streets as on Christmas day; still there were many who seemed to* be afflicted with tender feet and limber knees, A few years ago a resident of Jasper county declared that a man who would Lot get drunk on the Fourth of July, had’nt one d d bit of patriotism about him. That being the test, he was the most reliably patriotic man I ever knew. The same sentiment would seem to prevail here in regard to Christmas and New Years. Though if the same facilities were offered on other days, patriotism of that kind would never be found wanting. The custom here, on those days, is to serve out one free punch to every caller, so that by the time these patriots have gone the rounds they are ready to swear that Christmas, or New Years, is just as good a man as any body else. The friends of Fitz John Porter have made a charge upon the Senate, endeavoring to have the stigma wiped from his name, but they, although backed by the latter day convictions of General Grant, are met at every point by Senator Logan. How strange it is that some of the political sheets suddenly discovered so much to admire aud respect in Grant, just so soon as he changed front in regard to Porter. They can almost forgive him, how, for whipping the Johnnies, in the late unpleasantness. It Would not be Very surprising, after all, if Porter were restored to his rank by the present Congress. There is a strong and growing indication to remove everything that fosters memories of that civil strife. Your correspondent has received a pretty card from Father Babb, in Deckard, Tenn., containing an invitation to attend his Golden Wedding, on the 15th inst. May that aged and respected couple live in peace and happiness yet many years, is, I urn sure, the fervent wish of scores of Jasper co., friends.

That redoubtable copper colored chief, J led Cloud; is scouting about the office of the Interior Department, fully determined to take the official scalp of Indian Coinmisaioner Price, and went- it back, dangling at his belt, tv bis tribe. Price either waters the okl felloe’s whiskey too profusely, or fails to furnish the required supply of Winchester rifles and amunitiou. What a noblp, multi v louk there is about the old red cuss, any how ’ One look at bhn .ought to satisfy ouy'one as’to the nobility and proper dispofiitii.n of the face, if Lu 13 a fair sttti'ple.

Church Matters.

The Rev. B. F. Ferguson, pastor of the Free Will Baptist Church, is conducting a protracted meeting, this week, in the Presbyterian church. The meetings are well attended, and interesting. At the M. E. Church, the Rev. Claypool still continues to hold meetings every evening; end every afternoon, except Mondays and Saturdays. The evening meetings are attended by large congregations, and the interest increases nightly. Several conversions have already been made, and* should the pastor,s health permit him to continue the work, as he wishes to do, an earnest and extensive revival may be looked for. Elder D. T. Halstead will, on Sunday morning next, begin a senes of discourses, at the Christian church, to be continued every evening for at least one * week. Subject: “The reason why, and the manner how! The numerous and conflicting creeds, doctrines and ideas, all purporting to come from the one book, the Bible. ahy is if? Whence is it? What of it?” All are invited to attend, and the Elder is especially solicitous to have his hearers begin with the first lecture. The Presbyterian Spcial will be put on runners, this week, and taken down to Dr. Deming’s, six miles south of town; if the bottom of the weather does not fall out, that is. Friday evening is the time, as usual. The Rev. Ferguson reports a very successful Quarterly meeting for the Free Will Baptist people last Friday, Jan.'l2th.

A Happy Man.

I have been a suffer from blind piles for twenty years. During that time 1 tried every known renjedy, receiving none but. tempoary relief. Ten years ago, Prof Grose, of Philadelphia, used the knife upon me, which for two years seemed to. have cured me, but ei ht years since it returned, suffering at times excruciatingSix weeks ago 1 commenced using Dr. Deming’s New Discoery, with marvelous results.
