The Washington Correspon
DrNT ot the Statesv:l!o Landmark
writes the following paragraph :
"1 cn:ld write columns for your

wnuld do U but I dou't want to
have dlty tights on band for tilling

could make a good deal of money
bre by exposing this phase of I te
on the part of Seuators, members,
cabinet, officers, bureau chiefs, &c .,
.c Don't ask me to begin the in
veligatiou nor to priut what J j
know even. Just now you have not
Kiouoy enough to tempt me iuto the j
scrimmage. If Mr. Clevelaud should (
learn some of the facts the influence j
over him would be hereafter ml. lie j
would refuse some of the big ap j

vautsof the people are not sent i
here to leather their own nests, be-
yoni the drawing of tbe.r own sal
aries and accompanying perquisi
tes.'' The above correspondent might
have added to nepotism a line about
favoritism with, equal propriety.

Harry Martin ssliools Himself,
In Washingtod last Wednesday,
Mr. Ilnrrj Martin, a step son of Sen
ator Vance nccidontly flhet himself j
in the bn'.. Ho w.n at a
clieon partv ivf n by Miss Efiie

was about noon when the .shot was
fired. It did not disturb the neigh
bore, but two pol icemen from the
Third precint station hona heard it
and found Martin lying on the floor
when they arrived. The yonDg Ja
dies were screoming about him and
theie was great confusion. The
policemen proposed at tiral to take j
the youth to the station house.
When they were told that he was
a stepson of Senator Vance they
chauged their minds, however. A
carriage was procured, aud instead
of being paced under arrest Martin
was driven around to the residence
ot the Senator at 1027 Massachu
setts avenne. Dr. Johnson was
summoned at once to dress the
wound. He fcund that, the bullet

the back. Martin was put to bed, !
and it was said last night that

mocpiace conversation, and there j
was no reason to think that there t
was any trouble on hand. We
think that the shooting must have
been accidental: He was in the
parlor alone at the time.
Senator Vance was een at h:s
house by a reporter for The Post
about 10,30 o'clock last night. He
treated the matter of the shooting
lightly, aymg that the accident wa3
tue result of a friendly scufHe of
Martiu with oao of his acquaint
ance t?.
Tne pistol he said, wag a double
action weapon, and Martin, who
was not iu the habit of carrying a
gun, had it in Lis side pocket. The
bullet ouly grazed the skin, and
thera was no alarm felt over the af
fair by the family.
Miss Burritt is a young lady of
about twenty years, the daughter
of the late Col. T. Burritt, who
was a well-known newpaper mau.
I3he is an attractive young lady and
very popular in society.
Every one in the city knows Han

public eye before. He had been
prominent in society aud at the
clubs, and has held a position as

K vacua i ion -Day.
It not only happens that tomcr
j row is the anniversary of the eva
cuation of Richmond by the Con
j federates, but it is also the exact
day ot the week 'vhen that most
momeidous event iu the history of
our city occurred.
President Davis was sitting iu bis
pew at St. Paul's church on Sunday
aioruing, April 2, 1S05, when a teN
egram was Drought to him from
Gen. Lee, at Petersburg, announ
cing that a Federal movement had
endangered his communications end
! rendered the abandonment of Rich
m-md anil Petersburg necessary.
The President left Richmond for j accept it, bat withdrew his object
for Danville that evening, but the l n3 wljen ui Prty duty and loyal
last of the Confederate troops weretv were appealed to by the Presis
uot withdrawn Irora here till about
dawn of Monday, April 3d. As
they retreated they fired the bridges
over the James and some of the to
bacco warehouse, and from the
flames tpiead until, with here anil j
thoro a rare i -xception, ail that por-
tion of the city from the north Hile
0t Main tdicot to the liver and from
Eighth to Fomtfenth street is
lun-destroyed, including the most cost-
ly propety in Richmond, such as
tudly, depots, bridges, warehouses,
the finest htoies that wo had, etc.
Twenty eight years hav- passed
since then. "The a c-us of that fire
have been nearly obliterated. Oo
CMsionally we see (the big Gallego-,
Mil fonhdation walls, for instance,)
the blackened walls of the buildiugs
that leil a prey to the Amies that
day, a day that destroyed a natiou'a
hopes, that prcbtrated the Corded
eia'e capital in anguish and buffers
liiJanil practically announced the
close of a four years' war. None
but those who had high hopes ot
Confederate success and who were
vutuesaes of the heaped up calami
nes of that nihil day can appreciate
v iial Rich wonders were forced to
endure wljen Confederates went
out and Federals came in.
It happens quite remaakably that
'just is our winds recur to these
j events we are in ihe midst of pre
parui ions lor the removal hither of
Mr. Davis's body from New Orleans.
Toe duit cf that grand old Corded-
graves aud famous tombs enlist the
attention ot so many visitors.

Washington, D. C, April 10, 18D3.
President C'eve'and has a re
matkablo capacity for standing
long hours ot hard work, aud it has
been put to a severe test since hi3
inauguration, as it has been the ex
ception rather than the rule when
he has been able to retire before 2
o'c'ock iu the morning, and he is
at his desk again before 8 o'clock
Feebnii the need cf a little undis-
j curbed rest, he, iu company with
; 3ecrerai.y Greshani, left Washing
i Saturday afternoon and they will
not return until tomorry. His rc-
j tination was not made public for
' ear thot he might be followed by
: some importunate office-seekers,
anxious to personally present their
I claims. They went to see Ambassa
j dor Bayard at his home iu Wil
mington, Delaware.
The investigation of the Weatb-
r Bureau, now being pabli -Ij con
ducted after office hours at the De
partment of Agriculture, is a very
urstv mess as far as it hao gone
and it promises to grow nastier
The propety of too bureau has, ac
cording to the te-dimouy, been
stolen and acid to junk dealers
whenever certain of the minor of
ficials needed a little extra whiskey
money, and the stealing was done
in broad daylight, the employees of
the bmeau being used to load it
upon wagons. About every
thing seems to have been included
in the thefts, upon one occasiou a
stone otep beiug taken fiom the
building itself. The principal men
implicated thus far are the foreman
ot the press room aud the Captaiu
of the watch, but others higher up
are aid to have received a portion
of the money, and it is expected
that the evidence will prove it.
secretary Morton is determined to
jget to the bottom of the filth and to
see that every guilty mau is pnn-
isb d. regardless of who he may be

Gen Miles have had a squabble at
long range over the trouble m In
dian Territory. The quarrel is un
derstood to have occur ed over the
carrying out of n order tor the de
tail or an army officer to investigate
the trouble. No U. S. troops will
be sent there unless the Secretary
ct the Interior requests it.
President Cleveland said he in
tended to get the very best man in
the countrp, who was available, to
be commissioner of Pensions, and
the generalapprobation of the nom
ination of Judge Win. Iiochren. of
Minnesota to the position indicates
that he .succeeded. Judge Lochren
was not an applicant for the posi
tion, indeed, he at first declined to
dent. His war record is of the
bravest, and although he is not a
member of the G. A. R., no mem
ber of that organization has so far
as known bad a word to say against
hi3 special ii?ues; tor the position, j
Ho was horn in Vermont, but has j
resided in Minnesota since 1S57, !
with tho exception of the time
he served in tht army. He will
take charge of the Peusion Bnrean,
about May first.
Secretary Morton found not ouly
individuals employed by the Agri
cultural departmeut who were not
renderiug servicea iu anything Ilk
a fair proportion to the salaries they
receive, but a whole division of em
p'oyas who have beeu practically
paid for doing uothiDg tor more
than a year. This was the quarant
ine division of the Burean of Ani.
ma! Industry, which Secretary Mor
ton has put abolished. Quite a j
howl has been raised by the repabn
11 ans because the cheif ot the abo'- j
ished division happened to be the
late Mr. Blaine's brother, although i
it is difficult to understand why j
that shou'd have made the slight-!
e3t difference. Surely they did nor
expect that a democratic aduiiuife
tration would feel called upou to
take care of the poor members of
the Blaine family.
Secretary Lamont hasu't beeu do
ing much talking he never does
bat tht he has been doing some i
inves'gating and thinking is shown i
by h's statement that no more army j
officers will be detailed for oriiai !
ineutal purposes. This may bo h j
little rough, on the army officers i
who have beeu calculating to spend !
the summer at the World's Fair and :
tbj various sQinmer resorts, but no t
ooe can dtny that it is just to the
people who pay these meu their sal- 1
anes, and doubly just to the people
who pay these men their salaries,
and doubly just to the officers with -out
"poll'' who have to perform, in
addition to their own, the duties of
the butterflies of the profession
Postmaster General Bissell has
deeded that no fourth class post
masters shall removed, except
for cause, until they shall have
t-erved all or nearly all of a four
year term This is a new rule, as
these offi'n's have never be?n con
sidered to have a fixed term, bat
were removable' at the pleasure q
the department. This change is
understood to have been made by
the direction c' the President, hd i
after all it will make no difference
in the end, because there are so ira1.
ny who have served four ypar or
more that by the time the? are re
moved nearly all of the rest will
have become removable under tie ,
ew rule.

farmers cf old Liucoln county keep
this great amount of money here,
W can point to a few, and only a
few farmers here who never bought
for home consumption, a bushel of
corn, nor wheat, or a pound of flour
nor meat, and in every instance
they are prosperous nnd contented,
beiug out cf debt and thus indepen

not living too fast, and wit li your
supplies too far from home ?
It has been said that it was not
so much the amount of money made,
but the amount saved that made a
mau rich. Every dollar spent for
supplies that could have been raised
on the faim at home, is a dollar
thrown away. If every farmer had
sufficient home supplies stored away
we would not see this clammering
for office. Yours,
