OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.

Wasutnetor, D. GC, Noy. 13, 1877. |

Things look very little like an adjourn. ment of Congress within a few days, as has been 60 much talked of, None of the im- portant matters upon which legislation has been commenced, are settled, not even | the question as to whether or not our Goy- ernment shall be represented at the Paris Exposition next year. The Army Adpros priation Bill iz still unpassed, and as to the

resumption of specie payment, no man is wiser On that subject than before Congress assembled. The nival deficiency is waits ingjto be made up. who will say with what patience? The Navy Yard is a very brisk place, encouraging to visit and novel, for there is little real show of labor aside from street work, to be seen here. But the workshops in the Navy Yard continually ring with the sound of manufacturing— seven hundred men being employed there, Which, in these distressing times, means hones and support for seven hundred fam~ tlies amongst us. The Navy Yard consti- tutes one of the distinct societies here, too. There is ‘ Capitol Hill,” “West Eud,’’ “K St..’? “Navy Yard,” and so on * Toe ladies of Capitol Hill will give an entertainment so and so,” “ Receptions wil begin on University Hill next week.” ‘‘ A series of entertainments will be given by the ladies of the Navy Yard,’’ &c., &. Such are the notices that frequently appear in our daily papers, and thus are ditterent localities indicated. On Capito! Hill reside many literary and artistic characters, « society highly retined and cultivated. K St. is the fashionable and aristocratic street of the city, wide, smooth, level and shad. ed, the roomy lots filled with magnificent dwellings. One must be a millionare or a Cabinet Minister to aspire to a-honie there. But to come back to tke Navy Yard: four vessels of war aro row lying there awaiting repairs, One, the ‘‘ Frolic,” having been a blockade-runner, and was captured off Wilmington, N. C., during the war. Four monitors also await orders. The receiving ship ‘‘ Wyoming” lies at the wharf, and her adjunct will be the old storeship, “Res- lief,” shortly to be fitted up. The Relier is famous as having been built in 1836 fot the Wilkes’ Exploring Expedition, and since that time she has +‘ ploughed waters of every clime,” notwithstanding which. and her great age, she is as staunch and sound as when she first slid into her native element.

The resolution concerning the Paris Ex- position as it now stands, and as it was discussed in the House of Representatives on Friday last, provides for the appoint-~ ment, by the President, of a Commissioner- General, with twenty additional Commis» sioners, five of whom shall be practical experts, and for one er more vessels to transport to and from France, free of ex- pense, whatever articles may be oflered for exhibition by United States citizens. Also, in order that the foreign markets for Indian corn may be enlarged, the Commis- sionersGeneral is to arrange ap establish— ment of an American kitchen at the Ex- position, in which shall be taught the various methods of cooking end preparing Jidian corn gfor human food, as used in this country, which is to be sold as nearly as possible at cost. Receipts for this cook- ing areto be printed in the several tongues represented at the Exposition and distri buted gratutiously, explaining, in detail, the best methods of preparing the corn for eating, and furnish such other informa- tion in regard to it as will tend to promote its more general use.

A delegation of Ponca Indians came to this city last week, and were received and listened to atthe White House by the President and several Cabinet officers. They have been removed to the Indian terriorty, and this is their grievance. They made their set speeches, through a half- breed interpreter whom the delegation brought along with them, and each one besought the ‘Great Father’’ to let them | go back to their old reservation, where they insist, they were doing well and living

———

Mr. Beecher baptized two infants at Piys mouth Church on Sunday morning last. As the choir was concluding the chant, ‘ Suffer little children,” with the usval ‘‘amen,’’ one of the babes broke out into a loud “ @-a-a-m-m” thet sent a murmur of laughter over the crowded house. In bis sermon Mr. Beecher took very strong

grounds against the old orthodox doctrines election.” Said he ;—

“ It was reserved for the night~mare of Christianity to produce the horrible docs trine of election. To believe and to teach that God choose a particular few from the beginning whom be would save, and crea ated all the’others only to damn them, is terrible. lt pitches Ged from his throne as a pitying father and makes him a hors rible devil. We may, however, say of some men that they are reprobate. Men who have searched their moral natures until they are moraily dead; men who in yonder city (pon ing to New York], stand upon the high places to jead innocent lives mto degradation and ruin; men who, thinking of their povertysstricken employees only a3 machines, grind them down to the low- est rates at which the sustaining of exist - ence is possible, men whose life is a legal piracy ; of such men it is not uncharitabie to say that they are roprobate. Th-y are beyond tue help of man, and beyond the means that God ordinarily uses to reclaim

men. Ido not say that God cannot work such miraciexs; I only say tkat he does not,”

THE BRIDGES*MUKENZIE SCANDAL,

Montreal Oct, 17,.-Feed. Brydges and Mrs, McKenzie, whose flight from here to the States created such a sensation a little uver a year ago, were married in Bostou on Friday fast. The lady has been resid« ing Chicago for some time, and obtained a divorce there lataly from her ferajer huss band,

(Mr. Brydges isthe son of 9. J, Brydges, late managing director of the Grand Trunk Railway, now Canadian Railroad Commis- sioner, Heis an engineer by profession, and a resident of Philadelphia. Mrs, Nina McKenzie is the daughter of Andrew Allan ot Montreal, and niece of Sir Hugh Allan ‘the Canadian Vanderbilt,” and was the wife of Wiiliam E. McKenzie, of Montreal, son of the great importer, J. G. McKen- vie. Their married life wes not a happy one, and last year she eloped from Montre« al in Company with Mr. brydges, :.king one of her children. I[t will be remembers‘ ed that they were arrested here on the strength of telegram from Montreal, and that a tremendous scandal was thereby created. Mrs. McKenzie.s friends have claimed that the elopement was attended with no impropriety but interided to force a separation. She has obtained a divorce in Chicago which, however, is of doubtful value in Canada, and her husband applied to the Dominion Parliament for an act of divorce at its last session. }—N. ¥. World.

‘* Miller & Lux are said to have 700,000 acres in all in California, an area near y as great as the State of Rhode Island. There must be at least 400,000 acres in one body, running in a strip ten or twelve miles wide and sixty miles long from Hill's Ferry southward. Tho canal farm is, theres fore, a very small proportion of it. It is covered with farm houses as well equipped in all respects as the canal farm. They own about 80,000 head of cattle, and ijast year their new born calves numbered 25,- 000 head. Of sheep they have a vast num. ber, as wel/as of hogs, and they furnish the largest share of fresh meat for the San Francisco market. ‘They can start a herd trom Kern County and drive it through to San Francisco, and have good pasturage on on their own land for the cattle to feed on, every night on the route.”—Svockton Inde- pendent

At Franklin, Morgan county, IjJ., on Monday night, John H. Duncan, being re. fused liquor at the drug store of Wright Brothers, returned after the store was closed, entered through a back window, distributed a keg of powder over the floor, emptied several coal oil barrels over the powder and set the whole on fire, He then attempted to escape, but a terrific explosion occurred before he succeeded and he was probably fatally injured. The drug store was utterly demolished, and the grocery store of Langley & Poiing, ad. joining was set on tire and also destroyed.

Libby O'Brien, a girl of thirteen, has been arrested in New York for robbery. She has confessed to stealing from ten or twelve families for whom she worked.
