OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.

Wasuineton, D. C., Nov. 6, 1877.

“ Leaf by leaf the roves fall; one by one |

tbe streams run dry.” The brightest leaf | in the political rose of the Hoosier State | fell prone and lifeless, “\ worn out,”’ as his | last words declared, not week ago. Sen- | ator Morton’s death created no surprise 1p Washington. The city had been expecting the report for several days: The man dead but his work in the field of politics has been a strong one. and will have an in fluence long after his body is dust and his name forgotten. The man is dead, and | although his enemies numbered not a few, none can now speak too highly in his praise. Now, only his good pints are raked out from the ashes of the past, and dwelt upon and lingered over. Death is kind in this, but would it not be kinder in us to speak well of the living while they are among us. Morton was a greater suf- ferer than many, even among his intimate frends, knew, For twelve years, it is said, he has known no cessation of physi- cal pain. It is no wonder he is ‘‘ worn out,” ‘I'he wooden apparatus attached to his desk in the Senate Chamber, by which he used t> support himself when speaking has not been allowed to remain in its posi- tion since the first of the present session. It was too ominous. But the day before he died it was replaced and a bas<et of tine white flowers was hung uponit. Ihe Opening prayer in the Senate, on the morning of his death, consisted almo-i whoily ef allusions to him and the evident near approach of his decease. A very ap.. parent gloom pervaded the whole Capitol, and all was depression and sadness. Last winter the Speaker’s desk was draped in mourning ou account of the death of Speaker Kerr; this winter it will be Seu- ator Morton’s desk, full soon to be occu~ pied by another,

The Departmeats of the Government appear to bea fine hot house for the fos- tering of artistic talents. Every year a greater or lees number of actors, authors and painters blossom out, resign their po> sitions as Government clerks, and em brace a public career of uncertainty «nd vicissitude. Their clerical duties have secured them with means to cultivate and time to practice their various gifts, so that, at the start, they step well upon the lad. der. Three Treasury clerks have left their office life and gone upon the. stage during the last season; and today we hear of a full-fledged portrait painter in the Post Office Department. His forte was discovered but lately by the displaying of a fine portrait of Mrs. Slater, the wife of one of the employes. A Mr. Park, of the same Department, has also just produced acabinet size portrait of Judge James Lawrenson, who is the oldest Post Office employe in the United States. He his been connected with the postal service jor fifty-eight consecutive years, forty-three years in this city. This man is quite a specimen in his way; he can tell many an anecdote concerning affairs at tie Post Office Department, aud was in the service when the United States bousted of but 400 Post Offices instead of 37,000 ; and when $750,000 paid the entire cost of mu! wee while now it costs $37, 000-

Nearly 900 bills were introdnced in the liouse of Representatives a week ago ‘\o- day—first bill day. The most important ones, during the session thus far, are Burnside’s ‘* Negro ;Enlightenment Bill,”’ Edmunds’ for a Committee to inventa new method of electing President and Vice President of the United States; and one for the purpose of demplishing the iron- clad oath,

The enevitable subject of extending the Capitol Grounds has, of course, been brought np, and tkis time it is proposed to purchase and pull down several very handsome residencea for the sake of mi. king one of the parks reach a few rods far- theriz acertain direction. One thing is certain, the grounds on the South can never be extended, for Ben Butler's grey granite castle stands on the adjoining 191, and is as firmly built, as grim and b!uff and immovable as *“ Bold Ben” himself. This is one of the finest mansions in the Capi tal City, and prehaps wil! prove the most enduring one in all the District. There's no sham about it.

There is considerable talk about an ad- jouroment of the extra session ihe last o! the week or early next. ‘There is plen‘y of work that Congress might attend to with great advantage, but many of the members are anxious fora few weeks at their res« pective homes, before the assembling of the regular winter session,

Illustrative of ‘‘tbe change that has come over the spiritof the dream” of many, Mr. Thos. White, Jr., told of an old and influential member of the Wesleyan Methodist Church, who had told him of what his views once were in reference to Mr. Mackenzie and his party. having at one time believed them to be the embodi- ment of all that was pure and good, and that to oppose them was to appose the ‘* very elect.” Now he was convinced that they were nothing bul a - organized hypo- crisy;’’ that the eca'es had fallen from his eyes, and that his last vote had been given for men whose practice his been £0 at va~ riance with their profession.

SPLENDORS OF AN ICEBERG.

Few sights are more inspiring and as~ tonishing than the flowing ice mountains that travel down the coast from the North.

‘¢ Azure Alps of Polar cold ”’

broke loose from the eternal glaciers in« side the frozen line. A pleasure party from Boston, delighting themselves with the wonders of Labrador, saw this fine sight while sailing up the Straits of Belle Isle. The great wonder was in full view, looming up in majestic proportions a huge, misshapen mass of ice, two hundred feet long. Soon another hove in sight, and at | times a score of them could be counted from the deck, floating, motionless upon the placid sea, in full splendor of color and fantastic frost work, and shedding dazzling brightness in the refracted rays of toe unclouded sun. Here was a ruined fortress. perched upon a fountain of mars ble two hundred feet high; there was & minaret and spires, from every one of which gleamed countless rays of light ,; an ancient facade, with columns standing and broken: single monumental shafts; 4 massive triumphal arch, through and under whose lofty portals the veseel might have sailed with ease; the grandest of all a colossal temple with two lofty pinnacles, clinging as it passed to a schooner under, full sail. Some of the berges were of emerald, incrusted with frost-work and Others of deep blue‘; and a beautiful mist, changing its colors every minute, played about them during the day. When the air is still, sharp cracks like pistol shots, and at times deep intonations, are heard—certain premonitions of the speedy disssolution of some of the mighty bergs. At intervals fields of broken ice drift by, indicating that one of the doomed masses bad already fa‘len. Fiftten hundred ices bergs were counted in one day, presenting an endless panorama of grandeur and beauty.

ACCIDENT.

- =—a>-o---

A GREAT RAILWAY

Yesterday about 4a. m. freight train No. 22, with through freight, in charge of Conductor William H. Donkin an’ Driver ‘Alex. McDonald, lett Moncton for Truro. Between Moncion and Londonderry—pro- bably Springhill—the train took on an empty coal hopper. This hopper appears to have jumped the rail between London-~ derry station and Londonderry Bridge, and must have runin this condition nearly o mile, as the track was damaged for about that disyance. The train passed over Lon-~ - donderry Bridge in this condition, the bridge showing marks of the jumping of the hopper along its whole length, The train had barely crossed the bridge

in safety, when, at the curva at the

southern end, the hopper, which

had been running alongside the rails, tf .

left the track bodily, pitched down the embankment (about 40 feet high) and 4 | with it went the entire train of fourteen — freight cars! ‘The train included tne light ae coal hopper; a flat car load of parafline pe from Montreal; a car of oatmea), several cars of flour, acar of sheep and oxen, the remaining cars being partially filled with way freight. The sheep and cattie car turned upside down, and had to be smash» ed open to get the animals out. It is said the horns were knocked off the oxen. The barrels of Parafline were burst by the fall, which led to speedy action in regard ‘o the safety of the sheep and cattle, as it was feared the oil wou'd take tire. The car of oatmeal was pitched further than the rest ot the freight, both car and contents going over the fence and into the field beyond, The flour cirs were badly smashed, she barrels br. ken and contents scattered. Ihe destruction, as a whole, was about the worst that has been seen on the line, and the accident is probably the worst and most costly of its kind,

The locomotive and tender did not |eave the rails and are consequently univjured, We are glad to know there has been no injury to any of the officers.

The smash.up naturally Gisam movements of the trains. "TH press from St. John yestendim this morning as the Night Halifax to St. John, having gor ther than the scene of the accident. No Express from the Kast to connect with the Northern Train came in last night, and the Northern Express left without Eastern mails or passengers.— Moncton Times.
