WA3HIXGTON LETTER. Special Correspondence of the Telephone. To-day Ctngress re-convened, after iyr weeks of recess, and at on-, e entered heartily upon the business of the session. Many important bills

w(rM introrlnnfifl - f8riariallT in thm. " '"i House, and referred to the appropnate coamittees. As foreshadowed by us, in letters written three weeks since, the little cloud seen rising in the Democratic horizon, has been growing in size and density, until it now nearly overspreads their political firmament, and will soon burst in all its fury on their devoted beads. All the skill of their wisest and most subtile magicians cannot avert it. The Morrison-Carlisle element which obtained the master)' in the organization of the House, that fixed the committees and turned their faces in the direction of free trade, cannot turn back if they would, while the RandallConverse element is equally set in its way. The colliHOii cannot be avoided, -and a grand smash up is inevitable. Turn which way they will, the blackness of darkness 8 nr. rounds them, and each faction hoping and expecting, and honestly perhaps believieng that theirs is the true course to future preferment, is rushing madly to destruction. As to which will survive, only the dim distant hereafter can tell, &. any of the members, returning fresh from their constituents, appear to have had new revelations, and the seemingly brave, defiant spirit of bravado, that characterized them, at the assembly of ongress, is entirely changed cousternation and despair having taken the place of enthuastic hope. As predicted in our last letter, the Hewitt boom was fairly inaugurated here on Sunday by the I'o.pitul and Herald, two of the democratic Sunday papers, naming Mr Hewitt, as the only man able to "take the lead-, ership of his party and bring it into a genuine attitude of opposition to the Republicans-" A dtcided change has come over the spirit of the democratic dream, as evidenced by tbe two papers re ferred to. Less than a year ago they both claimed that the party could nominate who it would, and victory would perch upon its banners in 1884; to-day Hewitt's is the only name under heaven whereby it can be saved. Nothing is said about the 'bar1!," but it is evident it has been tapped. Look out for the boom. The lot of a government clerk at best is not a happy one, but now that the chiefs have concluded to overlook not only their conduct while j their respective places in the de.,rt ments. but also after office hour. fll a aB . , .ht diiUlos:tl n th..v make of tiie pay they receive for their labor, cause many who have learned t indulge in idle amusements, and ham, 1 as notified the employes of his department that they will be peremptorily dismissed if detected in piuchasing r naving in their possession lottery tickets. Not only so, but he will prosecute them to the ' full extent of the law. i-ui li.e uisv time u. me msiAoj o M aslungtoti, it has now a Press Club, .v.. .

The President already shows What he oai li i siiiiis oi weariness. ed in health by his trip through the Yellowstone, National Park and sojournmgs at seasiile resorts last summcer, he has already lost under the burden of executive cares by the boring importunities of office seekers, and by ths exactions of society since the social season opened. The French government has, as is probably generally known, through misrepresentation prohibited the importation ino that country mi Araer-

ican pork. Congressman Calkins, of Indians, ptopoes ti correct this injustice by retaliation; and will, the first opportunity he has, introduce a bill t arbitrarily prohibit the importation of Freuch' wines and brandies so long as the prohibition upon the American bog is allowed to stand iu France. He believes that Congress unquestionably has the right to retaliate for the benefit of our commercial relations with any other country in the world. John Roach, the famous ship builder, is. n Washington. He was interviewed on Saturday respecting Congressman Hewitt's tariff views, ane expressed himself ae flatly opposed to them, declaring them pernicious. It is likely that persons interested in patents will take concerted action during the present session of Congress, to secure a change in the patent laws, in the matter touching patents for inventions on which patents have been secured in foreign countries. As the law is now framed, it makes every patent granted for an invention which has been previously patented in a foreign country, to be so limited as to expire at the same time with the foreign patent. This was done so that the people of this country might have' the free use of an invention at the same time that persons abroad would be at liberty to use it. But it is alleged that the law defeats 'its own ends, for the teason that by taking out a foreign patent, an inventor generally greatly shortens the life of uis patent in this country; and the consequence is that, because of this he takes out no foreign patent, so that the people of other countries enjoy the full benefit of the invention, without any tribute from the very start, whlle'Americans are kept from this privilege for seventeen years, the terra for which all United States patents run. The House Cemmittee on Public Lands has perfected its organization. Chairman Cobb announced the sub committees on Saturday. This is oneot the important committees of the present Congress. THE HISTORY" OF OUR COUNTY. Mr- T. J. Riley, at present in our city in the interest ol E. A Battey & Co., of Chicago, who are engaged in publishing a history of our county informs us that the interest ill ths work among the citizens of the coun ty is increasing every day It is certainly a worthy enterprise and deserves the hearty support and encouragement of the people of frlonroe County. The historical department will cover the ground from the earliest period that it is possible to glean information, recounting the experiences of early settlers and life in the

i wilderness, the introduction of pit - neer iudutries, of schools and churil.es, the grow h of institutions and the development and progress of the interests of each county down to the present. The historians will gather the necessary facts for the history by interviewing many of the early settlers of each township, overhauling the records, searching the tu wspuper files and taking advantaged of ail si tttees of reliab e information, and will be aided by competent local writers who are familiar with the a Hairs of each count v. 1 Ihe general histcry of each , eoulltv w:j. e emoraee an account of I , Ullx-..,u tu. : ....

The Biographical Department will form an important feature of the work, and will be of incalculable value. The facts to be recorded will be gathered by a corps of competent biographers, and will embody sketches of the lives of many tbe prominent itizns, giving something of their general success and acquirements, thus combining and handing down t posterity, in an

imperishable manner, muctT personal with the. hi$rUztf$fpQf& of the counties that otherwise might pass into oblivion, and that coutd, perhaps be perpetuated in no other way. The mechanical part of the wirc will be faithfully executed. Th publishers will spare no reasonable efforts to make the work satisfactory iu all its parts and that the enterprise may be prosecuted to a sue cestfui issue, it will require the "cooperation of the citizens in giving our historical and other writer suehviuformatiou as may be in their pow er We hope tuat our citizens will take an interest in volunteering information,' and lending thei enter piLe all the assistance they can. New Albany Ledger: i he Ledger has made inquiry of a number of fruit growers, as to the result of the recent cold weather upon fruits and fruit trees generally, and finds tliero, all agreeing that not only many. buds of the peach cherry and probably pear killed, but that very many of the young and tender trees of these fruits have also beeu killed. It is also stated that raspberry and blackberry vines have been frozen down to the ground and .killed, and that unprotected strawberry plants have also been killed." Last Thursday night about 9 o'clock the house of Milford Matthews, occupied . by Kd Martin south of the Clear Creek church, was completely destroyed by fire. The firti is supposed to be the work of an incindery, and was started in the wood shed that joins the house. The family had retired for the night and bearly made good . their escape, saving nothing. There was no insurance on the building of. contents.
