Correspondence,

a2” We do not hold ourselves responsible Sor the Opinions or statements of our correspondents,

To the Editor of the Examiner :

Sir,—You will please favor me again with space in your columns for a few remarks on an editorial that ay peared in the Argus of the 2ad of July, inst., uw which he comes down on me for not going out to see the celebrated founda- tion of the Asylum. He thinks that if I would, I should be convinced that all is well now. How mistaken he is on this point. I need not go there myself; I have word from two respectable citizens that went out last week—one of them a first-class carpenter and the other a man of good sense and judgment, belonging to the Government side, They say that one of them pulled a pebble out of the wall and he shoved his arm into the heart of the wall till the shoulder would not allow it to go any further! Now, sir, what need of me going out to see thé work with such evi- dence as this? As I told you in my last let- ter, no man is able to make a good job of the wall without pulling it down. I mention this without the fear of contradiction. You bring Mr. Cunningham to overthrow my views. Sir, I shonid like to hear from Mr. Cuuning- ham himself and not from the editor of the Argus, and then I sheuld know how to get along. I have built thousands of perches of stone in my life time, aad J know what I am writing about. I have no bone to pick, and I want none, {court no man’s favor, and fear no man’s frowns. I stand a free man, and will watch thoss that will not deal justly with the public.

Now, Sir, [ would like to ask you the reason there are four inspectors employed at this cele- brated piece of work? Will the people like to pay four men to do one man’s work? Pretty expemsive for nothing! They must think the first tlirce hired were incompetent, as the fourth was needed. I think the same; and if they have jiit it in the fourth, they have done weil. I can teil you, Sir, that [ could tind a half dozen of men in this city that would in spect the job singie-handed, anyone of them, and make a better piece of work than they have done. Can you expect good work from such confusion, such as taking men ont of their proper places to fill the office of in- spectors. For instance, takiag stone cutiers and railroad ergineers, who never laid a brick in their lifetime! What can you expect? Can you expect them to see through a wall that is hollow-hearted, any better than any other man’ Whatis the reason the Govern- ment has acted so childishly in the choice of inspectors? Is it because some of them have been tools for them? I will ask the public how they wllike tue paying of those four men to do one man’s work? That is the way to spend the public money! My friend, the editor of the Argus, need not be surprised at my coming out again, 1 should not have dona so ifhe had not given a public challenge to come and do so, Let any man come before the public and give a public challenge, and he will soon find his man; so that he cannot blame me for appearing again. I would re- mark, before closing this part of my letter, that Mr. Bailey and Mr. Cun- ningham are the two men that are to overpower me in my views on the ee job. A gentleman called on me and told me that Mr. Bailey was not fit to inspect a School House. Hehadatrial of him, and knows him well; and with regard ta Mr. Cunning ham, I shall make his own work condemn himself, It is well-known that, in building the Railway Stone Buiiding, that every stone in it was a thorough stone, and he had no packing in the heart of it, because it was solid. But in the Asylum foundation, the re- verse is the case. The large stone on the out- side of the wall, and the small rubige built on the inside, and badly built at that, and heart- ed without mortar! Now, this being the case, Mr. Cunninghom must have been very extravagant in the first, or he has failed to do his duty at the Asylum. Because he is not ig- norant of it, and he should not have passed the work for good, butshould have pulled it down, Now, Sir, I challenge the four Inspectors to produce a work on architecture that will bear them out inthe bond used in the ontside angles of the Asylum foundation. Till they can, let them hide their faces,

Just one thing more and I am done, My advice to the public is not to allow sawn cedar shingles to go on tbe roof. You can get slates for five dollars and fifty cents per square, and rs can get them put on for less than two dol- ars a square; and you would save the paint and be in no danger of burning the building by sparks on the roof. Ido not think that they would cost one cent more than the split pine, and will last six times as long. Some of you say that you cannot get men here to put the slates on. Well, you can send to Nova Scotia for men, as you have already done. But I think they could find some persons here that would likely make as good a job of the slates as the Nova Scotians did of the stene founda-

bring all the practical men of the city to prove my statements to be correct. I remain yours, CHARLES HEART?. Ch’town, July 3, 1878.

Our Washington Letter.

Wasuineton, D. C., July 2, 1878.

After reaching a grand. climax, affairs both political and social seem to have col- lapsed or come to a standstill. The night Congress aljourned there were two grand weddings (one at the White House, Miss Platt and Genl. Hastings) and since then nothing of note has taken place save the examination by the Potter Investigation Committee and a great exodus of people from the city on account of the hot weather, which commenced in earnest the middle of of last week. We cannot complain of it; we have’ had such a prolonged season of sweet spring weather.

Mrs. Hayes’ efforts to preserve privacy concerning the Platt-Hastings wedding were fruitless. A full account of the costumes, decorations, presents, &c., was printed the

day after the wedding.

tion, You bring men of theory, Sir; but I can}

the few invited guests were admitted, there was such a throng of curious people about the entrance of the White House that the bridal pair tock their carriage from the south side of the Mansion, which driveway is seldom used. Mrs. Hayes threw a slipper after them as they drove away, for good wishes and luck.

Drunkenness was so prevalent among the honorable members during the last night of the lately adjourned Congress, that James H. Rainey, of South Carolina (colored), was said to be the only member of the Committee on Enrolled Bills present who was in a condition to know whether or not the bills were properly enrolled. He was at his post all night, and when, fifteen minutes before the hour set. for adjourn- ment, he rushed into the hall of the House with the enrolled Sundry Civil Appronria- tion Bill, which had been so repeatedly and extensively corrected and patched up, and gave 1t to Speaker Randall, the latter grasped the black hand and shvok it with a wariath that showed no thought of the “color line,” and the House showed its ap- preciation ot Rainey’s efforts by loud ap- planse.

More work was accomplished, during the last minute of the session, than in any other so short atime on record. The Bill to-pro- vide a Commission to ascertain the cost of the removal of the Naval Observatory, and two others, were signed, sent to the Presi- dent (waiting in his room in the capitol) examined, approved, signed and returned by him, the three Commissioners on the Ob- servatory sight nominated, the Senate went into Executive session, confirmed the nom- ination, the doors were again opened, President Ferry made his closing speech,and declared the 2nd session of the 45th Con- gress adjourned sine die, allin 60 seconds of time. . Among the last acts of the house wasa resolution asserting its confidence in ex- Door-keeper Park’s personal and _ political integrity, and awarding him full pay for the expenses incurred by him in defending the charges upon which he was investigated.

Both the Czar and his uncle, the Emper- or of Germany, have twice narrowly escaped being shot; but the daadliest and most nearly successful attempt upon the life of the former was of a more insiduous kind, and is still known to only a very few per- sons, even in Russia. There is in the Win- ter Palace at St. Petersburg a small “ ele- vator,” consisting of an easy-chair fixed upon a stand, originally constructed for the Czar Nicholas, who was. wont to mount in this fashion to his cabinet on the third floor

state dinner, the present Czar, instead of taking his seat in the chair as usual, offered the place to a lady of rank, who. had been a friend of his mother. The Countess, flat- tered by the compliment, took the seat at once; but she had not risen many feet when the chain snapped, and down came the chair with a-terrific crash, flinging out its occupant upon the boor with a broken limb and other serious injuries. The dis- may of the company. was extreme, and all were loud in expressing their thankfulness that the Czar hunself had so narrowly ¢s- caped a catastrophe which, however, mo one looked upon in any other light than that of a very unfortunate . ac- cident. But one of the imperial a shrewd young fellow, who had himself wit- nessed the catastrophe, had his own thoughts about this ‘‘ accident,” and. took the earliest opportunity of inspecting the broken chain, when he at once perceived that it had been sawn half through, close te the staple. The announcement of this dis- covery fell like a thunderbolt upon. the-as- sebled zrandees, and not a moment was lost in calling up the palace seryants for penne gar di. was ies that a oreign lackey, who entered the servi some months before, and had up to ‘that time borne an excellant character, had. un- accountably disappeared. The affair, how- ever, was hushed up, and to this day many persons who are acquainted with the story, consider the whole oceurrence either imagin- ary or purely accidental.—N. Y. Times. - ————-e ~—> o— Charles Mathews, the elder, once in- dulged disastrously in his well-known taste for mimicry; the ridicule on this occasion was at the expense of Mr. Tattersall duri a sale of blood stock conducted by that well- known auctioneer. ‘‘The first lot, gentle- men,” said Mr. Tattersall, ‘‘is a bay filly by Smolensko,” etc. ‘‘The first lot, gentle- men,’ echoed Mr. Mathews in the same tone of voice, ‘‘is a bay filly by Smolensko. ’ The auctioneer looked somewhat ane but proceeded: ‘‘ What shall we say to be gin with?” ‘‘What shall we say to begin with?” replied with the echo. Still en- deavoring to conceal his yexation, Mr. Tat- tersall inquiringly called out: “One hup- dred guineas?’ ‘One hundred guineas,” echoed Mathews. ‘Thank you, sir,”. said Mr. Tattersall, bringing down the hammer with a bang—‘‘the filly is yours.”
