An Important Correcrion,—As a report “Was in circulation that the importation o! potatoes into the ports of Great Britain was prohibited by an order in Council, the ‘Hon, J. F.

ee OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.

Wasnineton, D, C., Sept. 25, 1877.

The Indians are coming, Oho! Oho! [They'll be here this week. They’ve been talking of coming this two months, and have been on the way two weeks or more, and now they are really on the point of arrival; so the small boys may well shout and throw up their hats and act like the 4th of July generally, The President and all the bigsbugs are expected to-morrow, too, so there’ll be no dearth of topics upon which to talk and write fora while. By the time the excitement over these episodes dies out, the extra session will be about commencing; and so the fun wil] be kept up for six months tocome. Corres- pondents, in particular, are rejoicing that the summer is past and that an abundant harvest of items and events is before their Weary pen.

Some months ago it was given out that such nonsense as the giving election leaves of absence to the Government clerks would all be gone away with; that being a part of tae civil service much in need of reform; butas election time draws near the announcement is made that Ohio clerks (of whom there ae some 250) desir ing to vo e can go home on reduced rail- road rates for the purpose

Senator Morton is gaining in health very slowly. Doubts are now entertained about his being able tobe in his seat during even the regular winter session of Con- gress, though he still hopes to do so. Senator Bogg, who has been seriously ill for some weeks, died a few days ago. Alexander H. Stephens is on his legs again, but has to strengthen them by the use of crutches. What ails all the old war-horses? Are the political complica tions getting to be too much for them? Even the staunch and tough old veteran from the Pine Tree State must needs have a sunstroke : just in the hottest of the battle. Well, time invariably kills or cures, if that's any comfort, George B. McClellan feels pretty sure of a

Generalship.~ Time has done so much for him it seems, and that is somes thing, although rather less than the oal to which his ambition pointed in 1864. There isa vague rumor of the 1880 Presidency in conaection with his name, since his New Jersey nomination. quote the nomination of Gen. George Bb, Mc-

Clellan, as the Democratic candidate for|

Governor of New Jersey, has the merit of being a political surprise. He had not been seriously mentioned in connection

assembled, Whether it has any furthe significance will be developed hereafter ; but it does not seem improbable that the prominence which this event will give Mc« Clellan, may be used to bring him to the front as a candidate for the Presidency of 1880.

Some time ago, Colonel Alexander Chambers was detailed to visit the seat of the Eastern War, and study European tac- tics for the benefit of ourarmy. He has arrived there, and reported himself of- ficially a few days ago. His reception by His Highness Mahoud Damad Pasha at the Ministry of War, appears to bave been gra- cious, He has been promised the neceasa:y facilities for going to the field and making

observation’ at the military head quarters, which cannot fail to be valuable, Colone! Chambers being an experienced officer. He is of the Twenty-first Infantry,and has been appointed military a/lache to the United

States Legation at Constantinople,

GLADSTONE AND PITY?.

We think the opinion is pretty generally entertained that Pitt, the younger, and his namesake Gladstone (the latter’s name is William), as premiers of England, have distinguished themselves, each in his time, by displays ot transcendent ability, which we may look for in vain in the parliament. ary displays which, since the time of Pitt, have emanated from the most noted (bat. ing the two we have named) of England’s prime ministers, We are aware that there was an English p:emier of the name (the magic name) of Canning—and no less aware are we that, in oratorical display and matchless elocution, ths same Cany oing stood alone in the British House of Commons, Aye, and let it be mentioned, too, that he was the bosom friend of the ‘‘ great Commoner,’’ s0 long as the latter lived—yet (and the surmise is not alto. gether irrational on our part) had Pitt lived to see his favorite made Prime Min- ister of England, the circumstance, in a) probability, would have occasioned him a feeling of regret rather than satisfaction. He knew Canning intimately, and knew that his sentiments were entirely too fine spun to render him a successful minister of the Crown, Returning, then, to the two statesmen familiarly knowo as “ Billy’ (Pitt) and “the people's William” (Glad. stone), we but do the latter justice when we say that his amazing gifts of language and plausible ratiocination, by which he is enabled, before almost any audience, to ‘‘make the worse appear the better reason,’’ certainly transcends anything of a similar kind that the statex manship of England has produced. Wil- liam Pitt was, indeed, « ministerial prodigy, but with all his powers and eloquence he would have found himself utterly unable, had he been placed in the peculiar circumy stances of Mr. Gladstone, to carry everys thing before him as has been the custom of Mr. Gladstone. The reason, as it has appeared to us in the distance, is sufticient- ly plain. Pitt's eloquence was regulated by the strictest princip!es of sound reasons ing. Noman that ever lived despised sophistry—mere sophistry—more than he did; and, as a consequence, his hearers} were never reasoned out of their reason by any of Pitt's speeches, He was, indeed, far more intent upon convincing the rEa

son Of his hearers than upon emp'oying his gigantic abilities in the attempt to work upon their imaginations, What can be more Opposite to such a course than that pursued by Mr. Gladstone in the zenith of bis political power? Notoriously without the sublime moral restraint which, in this respect, characterized his great predeces-~ sor, the ‘‘ People’s William” of our day,, while in office sought, on every oecasion, rather to bewilder his followers in th

House than to convince them—and his powers of sophistry and language, indeed, are such that they were bewildered, and that “to the topof their bent.” Time. however, and a thoroughly sagacious (and as intellectual as zagacious) party have been, and are, at work to counteract this (tladstone illusion—and@ the signs and tok- ens just now are as plain as they well can be that the course of England’s late Pre- mier is about run, “ Billy Pitt,’’ indeed, battled, under all circumstances, and de- spite all discouragement for the honor and glory of his country (and especially in sea- sons Of/danger), and, in this respect, the ‘* People’s William,” just about this time, would do well, we think, to tread in the footsteps of his predecessor. For us, this is a matter we may properly speculate upon, and offer, under the circumstances, our best wishes to the old landin the dan, ger which now besets her; but it is for the people of England (and especially for Mr. Gladstone) to look to a matter so serious in

due and proper time.— Pen and Plow. - ——
