INTERESTING WASHINGTON TOPICS. Tbe New Financial IssueNational versus state Danka President Gar field's Crusade Against lUormon-dom-Stanley iriatthews Still in Cas tle Donbtlnl-Tbe Extra Session Prospect, Sec. Sfeclal Dispatch to the Baltimore Son. THE NEW FINANCIAL ISSUE. Washington, March 20. Attention has been attracted here to a question which in all probability will in a com paratively short time diyide the coun try. When it was supposed that the funding bill would pass sixteen of the national banks in Maine applied to the .Legislature tor charters to return to the old State system. The Legislature passed a bill tor this purpose, which the Greenback Governor (Plaisted) has just vetoed, on the ground that the 1 - J. I 1 J- A general government nas uie rignt 10 control the entire credit circulation or the country. The opposition to the national bank system js apparently de- termmea to force the issue, ana tor years .past there have been prorfltnent men in both houses or uongress strenu ously insisting upon a return to the Slate bank system. This question will probably enter somewhat more largely into the next general elections through out the country. There is a decision of the Supreme (Jourt on record, delivered by Chief Justice Chase, in which the absolute, power of Congress over the circulating medium was laid down in the broadest terms. The case was brought bv one of the State banks of Maine, which denied the authority of Congress to legislate the State banks out of existence, and was argued for the bank by iieverdy Johnson and Ca leb Cushing. The Greenback Gover nor of Maine, while like all his party desperately opposed to the national bank system, does not want State banks to be invested with the privilege of issuing circulating notes, but wants legal-tenders to be the only currency, POLYGAMY MUST GO. Delegate Cannon is reported in West ern papers in interviews at various places along the route as expressing a sublime contempt tor the government and anti-Mormon influences. He seems to have considered that he was making a kind of grand triumphal tour from Washington to Salt Lake City. Hb will be surprised to hear that President Garfield has taken so early an oppor tunity to express his views on the sub ject. It is a fact, however, that he has done so. Yesterday he said to a promt nent Western Senator: "Polygamy must and shall be stamped out. This plague spot on our institutions must be banished. I ask you as my friend to take your stand in the Senate and fight this evil until it is crushed out of exis tence. We must, however, save from illegitimacy the 70,000 children born in Utah of polygamous parents. I feel bound to do this because two of my predecessors saw fat to recognize the in stitution by the appointment of Brig ham Young the head of the church, as Governor ot the Territory. The Presi dent alluded to Buchanan and Fillmore, His friends express hope that the coun try will wake from its apathy on this subject and give their executive that- moral support he will need in grappling with this problem. Those in close posi tions to the President declare that he has strong hopes of successfully dispos ii g of the matter during his adminis tration. He is thoroughly aroused to the necessity of throttling the evil be fore it spreads all over the new Terri tories, where it is fast reaching out. Already the influence of the Mormon vote is felt in Colorado, while they con trol Idaho, and will soon do the same thing in Arizona and Montana unless polygamy is stopped. The President, it is said, has assurances from friends of Mormons that he will have the support of many men in their own ranks who dare not declare themselves until they are sure that the government will ex ercise its authority, and not back down after action is once begun, until the evil is thoroughly stamped out. Should they show their hands before that time the power of the church is so terrible that they would be ruined. ANOTHER TURN AGAINST MATTHEWS, The oposition to Stanley Matthews is taking a turn that is considered more damaeine to his chances ot conhrma tion than the vain allegations usea against him before. It is said to be now inevitable that long and hotly- contested litigation will ensue between the government and the Central facibc Kailroad. The government claims un der the law twenty-five per cent, of the net earnings of the company. This, ac cording to the reports of Auditor French, the road has been evading in part by a system of swindling that he declares must be checked. The ques tion will then come up as the constitu tionality of this law under which the government demands the annuity Three of the judges on the bench are already on record on the side of the government. Two have decided that the law is unconstitutional, and that the government has no right to the oavment of the money. Mr. Matthews is also on record as holding the same opinion. This would make the court three one way and three the other, with Judge Wood uncertain, never having been called on for an opinion. Judges Clifford and Hunt are practically off the bench, so they are not counted The opposition to Matthews claim that the interests of the government should not be jeopardized by putting a man on the bench to tie it who is known to be against the act of Congress in a case where hundreds ot millions are in volved, and they claim that the popu lar verdict will be lor his deteat. PROBABLE EXTRA SESSION. , The President has been importuned bv some of the members ot the Ohio delegation in favor of an extra session, They say that Mr. Hayes's veto to the funding bill has injured party pros pects very much in Ohio, and that un less an extra session is canea ana i funding bill passed, the Democrats wil carry the Legislature next October, and will then redistrict the State so as to gain four or five members of the House The President, of course, would prefer not to lose his own State in the first vear of his administration, which, how ever, would only be a repetition of the experience of Mr. Hayes. But -others of the Ohio delegation are not so much affaid of losing the State, and theyte- lieve that worse consequences might ensue from an extra session. " If an ex tra session should be called; there is no certainty whatever that a funding ml could be passed, and it is quite certain that various questions would be agita ted that wouia inevitably nave an in jurious effect upon the fortunes of the Republican party. The President and manv of the most trusted and sagacious Republican leaders aire quite . satisfied that the aisaa vantages oii&n extra ses sion would largely overbalance? any possible ; advantages, yet 'the : pressure f rom jobbers, speculators, political agi tators and oersons generally; who hae selfish, ends in view is so strong tnat i (may prevail. . - . s , GENERAL LEE'S. 8 WORD. It was Not Tendered to or Declined by General Grant. Richmond. VjU March 21. The Dis patch yesterday published the follow ing correspondence in reierence to a controversy as to the authenticity of the statement in Moimess school History" that "General Grant declined to receive General Lee's sword" at the surrender at Appomattox: 'Buffalo Lithia springs, va.. March 11, 1881. General U. S. Grant. New York. Sir: In a friendly discus-. sion between several gentlemen of Northern and Southern proclivities as to the truth of history a question arose whether General Lee at the surrender actually tendered and you received his sword. It was mutually agreed that you should be written to for a decision. There is no idle curioBity or desire for notoriety in regard to this request, and a reply irom you wouia- De nigmy ap preciated.. Very respectfully, J . D. Jeffress." Gen. Grant replied as follows, on the bottom of the same sheet of paper : "General tfadeau s book, new m tne hands of the printer, will- give the ex act truth of the matter referred to in this letter. There was - no demand made for General Lee's sword, and no tender of it offered. U. S. Grant " In reference to the above, the follow ing conversation between uens. Lee, Early and others, reported' in Key. J. William Jones's book, entitled "Remin iscences of Lee," may be of special in terest, and agrees with Gen. Badeau's forthcoming account and thus settles the disputed point: "Gen. Lee said that when he met Gen. Grant they exchang ed polite salutations and he stated to him at once that he desired a confer ence in reference to. the subject-matter of their correspondence. ''Gen. Grant returned your sword, did he not, Gen eral?' one of the company asked. The old hero, straightening himself up. re- Eliea in most emphatic tones: vino sir, e did not. He had no opportunity of doing so. I was determined that the side-arms of officers should be exempt by the terms of surrender, and of course I did not offer mine. All that was said about swords was that Gen. Grant apologized to me for not wearing his own sword, saying that it had- gone off in his eaggage and he had been unable to get it in time.' Gen. Lee stated in this conversation that he was accom- Eanied when he met Gen. Grant only y Col. Charles Marshall, of his person al staff, who went with one of Gen. Grant's staff to find a suitable room in which to hold the conference : that they were first shown to a vacant house, and declining to use that, were conducted by Maj. McClean to his house and shown into his parlor. Gen. Lee then briefly stated the terms upon which he would be willing to surrender. . Gen. Grant expressed himself as satisfied with them, and Gen. Lee reauested that he would formally reduce the pro positions to writing, which was done. Does the Electric Light Tan the Skin? The burning question of the hour seems to be as to whether the electric light tans the skin. Ladies are espe-. cially interested in this matter, for, while they do not object to sunburn and freckles during sum mer-rest intervals at the seaside or in the mountains, the case will be very different if their delicate and elaborated complexions should de teriorate into sallow hues or become red and freckled whenever they spend an hour or so in the Edison arc, the Ja blochkoff candle, the Brush light, or any other of the new devices for dis pelling darkness. Edison says the light will tan, and that it has turned the skin of himself and his assistants almost copper colored time and again. Mr Maxim also is reported as cheerfully admitting that the light will tan, as it could not help but do with the number or actinic rays which it throws off. "Any blue-white light will tan," he said, the chemical rays having a simi lar effect to that of- the sun's heat rays. Other experts, however, deny the tan ning impeachment, saying that they have tested the matter in the most care ful way. One expert said that the real objection of the ladies to the electric light was not that it burnt their skins, but that, like the photograph, it un sparingly revealed and perhaps empha sized the defects and blemishes of their complexions, if any existed. Tho ques tion is not settled yet, but there seems to be enough in it for the gas compa nies to make further investigations. Gas, as all know, will not tan, and it deals with rouge and pearl powder in the most kindly way. Electricltr. London Letter in Baltimore Sun. I have more than once said in the Sun that electricity was only now m its infancy. I have lately seen cradles rocked by electricity, and before long may see something done for babies by electricity. The electric nursery "spank er," or the "quieter," as well as the "baby-jumper, have a future for them in electricity. How many of us have had a difficulty to wind our watches either by key or stem-winders, on cer tain after-dinner occasions! Now elec tricity comes in to wind our watches! An electro-magnet, fixed ' inside" a watch, is one of the latest inventions of the scientists in "tic-tacs" as John llan dolph would say. This magnet keeps the spring in a state of tensionrand all that is required is to keep the battery in eroins order, and - for this a view of the inner working about once a year is sufficient. Here, then, is a non-stop watch and a non-winder for those so often troubled with time when they are out of tune.
