Our Washington Letter.CORRESPONDENCE OF THE

DEMOCRAT.WASHINGTON CITY, D.C.,

February 4. 1870.

It seems impossible for ato pass without some resolutionbeing offered in Congress to curbthe terrible propensities of theSouth to kill, murder, brim, desstroy and do all manner of heinous and nefarious things againstloyal citizens who have dared allmauuer of hardships to give thelight of their presence and thew a,

great benefit of their associationto that most diabolically wickedand awful section of our country.Seuator Abbott, of North CaiOilina, yesterday introduced a biH

in the Senate to provide againstthe "frequent violations of publicpeace in various Southern locali-

ties," and to "report what legislation is required, and especiallyto iuquu-- c into the constitutionality aud expediency of establishing a national police force forthe better enforcement of law."This resolution was refered tothe appropriate committee, audwill probably come up again after awhile iu some shape or oth-

er. This resolution is the fifteenthousandeth nine h unci ret h andninety-nint- h of its kind, and Ican safely assert without fear ofsuccessful contradiction, that thenumber will be increased by a

little over one hundred thousandbefore the end of tho party inpower. a do not oojecr. torasnumber of their resolutions, butI do object to the constant harp-

ing on one string, the lack of originality in the language andspirit of all these resolutions,"One smell ofa nigger" on a hoiday may not be unsupporiable.but five thousand sniffs are morethan a white man can bear. Butthese are inflictions which wemust bear for awhile. PerhapsPaovideuce will come to our rescue bv and bv. The sudden- - r

duction of the tores of mechanicsemployed in the various navyyards of the country has awaken-

ed great and unexpected trouble,and the Senate was engaged yes-

terday in taking up a bill author-izing the Secretary of Navy tocontinue these mechanics in employ. There can be no doubtthat the electioneering "dodge'of turning s on theground of retrenchment was

unquestionably a stupendousblunder, and the Radicals seethis very clearly. "It is but oneof the couutless blonder whichthe party has made within thepast year, and which will inevitably destroy it.

In the House another effortwas made Dv Jar. Cimom tobring up the Mormon difficulty.He reported a bill in aid of theexecution of the laws in the Territory of Utah. It was re committed. One of itB sections provides that ail perBOnB are incom-petent as grand r petit jurorswho believe in, advocate, or pracfcice bigamy, concubinage or polygamy: Any man who shallive or cohabit with one woman

or more, other than his lawfulwife, as his wife or Wives, shallbe adjudged guilty of the crimeiof concubinage, and on conviction thereof, shall. . be pueished

jr ; I

by a fine uot eaceeoHugoae inozi- -

sandilo'-larB-, imprisonment in thejQfPenitentiary at hard labor sotmore than fivo years. The balance of the bill provide great andsevere penalties upon all whohall in any sense against the

spirit of the oiil. The Mormoninrlica rfalt Lake Citv. a few

gainst all the charges of immor-- j

dulged in their Wishes or shallMaseachosatts provail againstthem ? We wonder if enag hashad any effect in inducing New.England men and .women to'pitch into" the privileges of

Radical Retrenchment!Mr. Dawes, a Radical member

of Congress from Massachusetts,said in a speech in the House ofBepi esentatives, that the Ad.

dayjixiiuistratton of Gen. Grant wasspending forty millions of dollarsa year more tban that of AndrewJohnson! Yet, Radical partyleatleis and presses, tell the tax-

payers wonderful stories aboutthe ecouomy of Grant's Administration and the fabulous reduc-

tion of the public debt. Now,reader, remember that Mr. Dawesis a Republican member of Con-

gress and bear in mind also thatnone ,of the Republican paperB

lof this country will publish thespeech of Mr. Dawes. This econ-

omical Administration of Grantis only a andig forty millions ofdollars a year more tban that ofAndrew Johnson, which Radical politicians said was the mostextravagant ever had in thiscountry. How do the peoplelike Radical . Economv andGrant's Reform !

Radical administrations areniost thoroughly infused wifhthe spirit of experiment. Theyhave made no less tban fifteendifferent changes in the moneyof the country Bince they camein power, in 1861. They havealso changed the postage stampstwo or three times, and there issoon to be anotner cnange inthem. The last effort iu postagestamps certainly suggest an ex-

periment in that direction. Ex-

periments are cheap, of coarse.- ... ,

His ac-

The Radical idea that the SouthernStated are free to act for or against negro suffrage, provided if tfiey reject itthey must take tho consequence oi beingexcluded from tho Union, is on a partwith the freedom proposed by a FrenchColonel, when the army was callei uponto vote whether "Bonaparte" should beFirst Conso! of France for life, or not."You are perfectly free to vote as youplease, for this election ia to be s freeone. ' But, said the C olonel, 'markme, my men, he who does vote not forthe General being First Consul for life,will, within five minutes after his vote iscast, be shot, for mutiny at the head ofthe regiment. The vote of that regiment was just ax unanimous for "Bonaparte," as the Southern Sia es, held un.der Radical subjection, will be for Ne-

gro Suffrage. But elections carried onunder a threat, are not regarded by ourcourts as entitled to much, weight.
