WASHINGTON CORRESPYDMENCE. WAsnrsocn, Augus 5, 1877. Mr. Hayes shows great sense in discouraging the effi of his re newspapers to create, out of our la- le bor troubles, public senti sent in fa- in vor of or that policy Gover'- hi mcnt. He discreetly ef much clamor for an extra cession of tri Congress in the midst of riot, and pc treats lightly all sugges tL it in anything has been develonll vbi shows a necessity for stre gtheni of the Federal Government c- ircr( sing the Federal army.

)m inoi- Ai cations given out I shall he sor- prised if, in his message the in- at coming Congress, he shoulh take sclid Democratic ground as to the so fi ereignty of the States, and a bt constitutional amendment defini once and forever, in the mo, explia manner, the limits of Federt authrd I ity. The time is auspiciou fot tie stirring events of the last 12 year-, hi to say nothing of the previot 3 4, ave St brought all men's minds to cotsideration of the subject, and Mr. ii Hayes, by practically putting tim- a5 self outside of party intere sts has made himself peculiarly tie rght man to commence the support he would receive from both Democrats and ol would be entirely outside of party ol politics, and would not look to ach small questions as the election a ft Speaker, the distribution of government offices, or the forwarding of any scheme of personal aggrandizemmt. lie may in this way make hiiid- 1r ministration a marked one throtgh all time. Under it one or the otter party may have control of the idli vidual States of the House of Repre sentatives, or of the Senate, but he lp would receive credit for taking a po- which neither party ecu'l as i sail and which the people would held In high regard.

The manner of lii elevation to office will never he fir gotten, but any effort to do good ought none the less to receive commendation. Undoubtedly the dlay of is over, the railroads are running their regular trains, and the fear of stir- vation in the large cities is past. People in quiet country villages will never look upon the last ten days is we of the cities were compelled to tb. Ten days more and an extension AI a violence to the North would ha'eI dloubled the cost of food in Neasv Philadelphia, laltimore, Washington, and in these times that meanns sufhring and death. The Ohio Republllic.n Conventi is in session as I write, and inte, interest is felt in its among Repulicoans here.

It is ev dent that l-ss nacparitv will exist i purely political qpaestions than wan 1 deemed likely a few weeks Matters of o're immnnliate inte, will ldemand nttention. What lence tIhere remains in copnectior with the strike remains in Ohio, nna will distract attention from puirel2 pI ed civil service reform and the poli. cy of Mr. IHayes towards the Soutlh. This gentleman is always lucky.

Even the riots, the dlestruction of property and the loss of life, unite to secure support for hlim, or rather, ta subdue what woult otherwise have beeaViolent opposition. It is now claimed here, for the first time, that tbe -O6avention will endorse the Administration. Iftbhat nimble and skillful veteran, ChiefJoseph, had possession of the telegraph wires, instead of Howard and his versatile aids, we should probably have different accounts of late operations at the seat of Indian war. The reported victory from which the impression was general that Joseph and his bandl were flying in wild confusion before our troops, would at least be modiflel. The last direct report from Howard was that, at the head of 5,000 men he was about to enemy.

It is not any amount of indecision or rashness. at the head of so great a force, will leave it in the power of a few hundredl Inlians to achieve a victory, and for that reason we may look with confidence for good results. The annual Schutzenfest of our German fellow-citizens commnenced on Monday evening. On Tuesday evening Mr. Hayes and meutmbers of his Cabinet were in attendance andt partook of the hospitality of the society.

Mrs. Hayes sent a boquet. The occasions are greatly enjoyed by the liberal portion of our population. but all wete surprised that Mr. and Mrs.

Hayes should give encourageme.nt to them, inasmuch as the unrestricted use of beer and wine is countenanced and upheld at all such places, and their chief revenue is from the sale of these articles. The Mrs. R. B. Hayes Temperance Society denounces them by resolution.

NEMO. -IT ls "Chinese Flat," a new variety of cling-stonr poach, has proved a siace.e in the vicinity of Pensaeola, Florila. It is said to produace enormously, and is of most excelloet flavor. TIE STRIKE, lne The well informed Washington ng correspondent of the New Orleans re Democrat, writing from New York recently, has a long and interesting Ni letter about the recent riots North, in which be dilates at large and gives his opinion from reliable data of the In effects and causes of these terrible ca troubles. Below we give the closing wi portions of his letter, to which we ki invite the attention of our readers: vi kt We have a foretaste of real civil war; di of that conflict of classes, which is the most terrible of all species of war.

And. so far as force has been called in requisition for purposes of "repres- be eion," it has aggravated the evil in- stead of curing it. Pittsburg would have been quiet had not the Philadelphia militia fired the first slhot. And even alter all the tur- in bulence provoked by the rashness and aggravated by the subsequent coward- in ice of the Philadelphia Furionos, it was the mob itself that checked the destruction; not the "legal nuthori to ties." After that Pittshburg ffa the venerable Governor of New York got his back up and declared lie would ti suppress the strike in this State if it st took a hundrad thousand men. He called out his militia.

He announced his intention of beginninning at Albany and "opening the blockade in all di- rections." Had he adhered, to his sanguinary declarations New York city would undoubtedly have been in flames within twelve hours after the aI firing of the first shot in the central yards at West Albany. But we have ai observed that the venerable Goveruor of New York did not turn his bloodthirsty militia loose after all. Simply al because the railroad managers rushed sa frantically to Ihimi-personally and by telegraph-shouting, "Don't, for God's sake, don't! Do you want all our property destroyed All we want you to th do is to make a show of force while we make a treaty with the insurgents! But for Hteaven's sake don't spill any blood Thus the venerable and well mean in- country politician who finds himii 1 self to his great astonishment in the i gubernatorial clhair of New York was prevented from being the Innoceint cause of possibly the greatest calamity that ever hefell any community. Foi I know idisptably that the the trch was ready, and that the first shot fired by the militia at the striking workingmeni ct was to have been the signal for its applicaition to well nigh everything comibustible in New York. The shot was not fired and will not be, you may de- pend upon that.

Moreover the bulk of the militia has been ordered to dis band. When yon know these thing- 1 you can form an idea of the meaning of a phrase hereinbefore employed, that "law and olklr exist here by out ne ferance of the mob." When I heard of the exploit.s of llartranft's militia It, Pittsburg I wondered if they were part of tthat fif a tlhnsand whom the I lhangnman of Mrs. Surratt was to send downii to mailnsh the White League aid lestore the carpet-bag this, I thought, is their behavior when itiltelled lagiinst ai mob of wo. I min and arnied withl nothing blmit cobble Stones and coupling pinli what wouhl lie their fate when colfrlloted by the veteralns of Chianclloirs- vile anl armed witl r' WVincht ster rilies But this is not to the Iwo fIt. anotiher pihaae of the sitna.

You will get a long rest aid respite from political persecution, at while our law makers devise it ays and meatis of protecting their ownU homes Itron the n'e and tlheir IownI persons from thie stray bullete is and the cobble stones of striking mobs. But to return to our uitton. The etperience of the last two weeks has of set the men who own the couttry te ae thinking as they have never thought hubelire, or, at least, to talking as they ho Iave never been Iheard to talk hereto- fire. 'Tlne inadequacy of the presenti or giverntentIal systeiii to comibat servilt inturrections ihas been forced hornm nupon the capitli-t classes as a tact i' that can ie longer be evaded.

And, mark you, the next session will see a treie tendous lobby marshaled in Wash is ton push with all the power of the combined capital of the country a Smeasure to increase the regular army possibly to thle proportions suggestee be by my friend the excited banker; cer.

tainly to double its present propor. tlons. You tniust know that the capi talist classes of thle North are alarmed as they never were before. The average citizen may forget the danger as soon as it is ipast, but not the man of as mnillions. He has seen tlhe glhost of the of Comumnne, and it will stalk through his dreams every night until he can hl- feel wito his prototype of the old world the security of mercenary bayonets enough to garrison every consid- A erable town.

What do you think of thle prospect How will the South stand on the question of asing the regular army to the i required to quiet the apprehensions of as the panic-stricken millionaires of the North I it Well, this and kindred questions will absorb the attention of the Yan- kee demagogue for some time to come. In the meantime you plant your sugar cane and hoe your cotton in peace. Whatever the North may be able to do 8 with its labor system, you at least a know that you can control yours, pro- vided the Federal government will keep its fingers out of the pie. The difference is that while you ask the Federal government to keep its hands t( off and let you regulate your own la- bor system; the North is frantically beseeching the same power to intervene and save it from the fury of its laboring classes. That is to say, in the South the property holding ele- It ment is also the fighting element, but in the North the property ir owned by non.combatants, and the fight- ing classes are the laborers.

It a will not be long before those dis- tinctions are made still more patent 11 to the casual observer than they are now. Pretty soon they will be made It so plain that the wayfaring man, though a fool, may read and understand them. In conclusion, let me say a word. Perhaps some who read what I write on this subnhject will imagine that my sympathies are with the mob, and that tI my facts are colored thereby. Not so.

a I have no sympathies. I am an ob- ti server of facts and I doubt if a more utterly disinterested, nay, apathetic, observer can be found anywhere. I lh am satisfied, for my part, with the semi-aristocratic, semi-anarchical form 8 of government, whose blessings all now enjoy, and I would not saerifice ten cents to save it from being converted into a commune s' in one direction or into a monatchy in a the other, as the case might be. I see the facts because I can't help seeing A them, and I have stated them bluntly because I do not see what is to be gained by concealing them. But asn for sympathy, I am absolutely ldevoid of it, andil shall submit to whatsoever one of these warring interests may get the control of affairs.

If the labor mob 1 wins in the long run I shali submit to 8 the Commune. ti If capital can hire mercenary soldiery enough to crush the mob, as it would be crushed in England or in 1 France, I shall submit to the strong central government which will inevi- tably lollow. There is only one thing that I will not do: I won't fight for cither of them. I fought in the late war to save the Union. And when I saw a Sliar sort of a thing it was that I had helped to save, I concluded I wouldn't fight anly more.

I saw patriotism 1 turned into Grantism, and that was enough for me. It would have been 8 enough for a respectable dog -40 Old" i FISHING 'ACKLE-A GREAT VARIE'TY. SPOON BAIT and OTHER GOODS IN THAT'l LINE. DEALERS SUPPLIED BY I HENRY ST. JOHN.

Iho Last Letters of Jules Guidry. The Lake Charles Echo, of the 2d publishes the following letters, which were written by Jules Guidry, just previous to his Mr DEAR BROTIErIl AND I iam dead you can this to a New Orleans reporter, I say that the Govrrnor has taken the life of a braver iman than lie ever was or ever will a be, and after I am deat lie can I do not regret having kil'ed John. I will die perfectly glad, but not on the gallows. Do not think that I I am a I1 I do not g. on the I gallows it is thait I do not went any one to ever tell my children that your fthelr was hung.

I am too much of a i manlu for tailt. I know you all have done all that was in your power to save tee from the dead fall gallows, but it was all in vain. I do not want you all to regret me, for I am all right. I can cut my artery, and before I die I will ask my God to forgive me, and I feel that IIe will. I will do thlis to i keep the shame off of my children.

I I die to-dlay for love, and Delia, you I know full well that you have put the rope around my neck, buit you will not hiive the pleasure of seeing me hung, anid to all of them that would be glad to se ue lme hung, they can take I temsini, JULES GUIDRY. P. ask of you all my friends to write to Captain C. C. Cain, and thank him for his kind care of me, and also Dr.

Moses, hlie was a good friend to me, and tell Duson that I never in tended to harm him or any one else; the two years of my imprisonment had made a good man of me, but yet I will rot die a coward like Louis Rousseau, to try to take his life, and let his cowardly heart fail him, but you know that I have courage to the end, and I will keep it until death. I am going to heaven, and hope you all will meet me there. Tell my mother that I die really happy. I have forgiven everyhodly in this world, and my last prayer ior everybody on earth, for I rememr ber the Lord's prayer, forgive to be forgiven. JULES GUIDRY.

P. my love to my mother, Il little brother and sister, and all inqni ring friends. If I die on the gallows SIt is that my friend Potier has made me take another step. I was ready to take my own life, but he begged me to eL- ont the gallows, and I will do anythinig he ask of me, for I think more of him than any one on earth, in the last hour of my life lie was standing by my side, and may God have mercy upon Shitm.

After the argument upon the Florida case before the late Electoral Conmmission in Washington, Judge Bradley wrote out his opinion and his decision in full, He completed it at about 6 o'clock in the evening on the day hefore the judgment of the Commission was to be announced, and read it to Judge Clifford and Judge Field, who were likewise members of the Commission" It contained first an argument and secondly aconclusion. The argument was precisely the same as that which appears in the' published docu ment; but Judge Bradley's conclusion was taat the votes of the Tilden electors in Florida were the only votes which ought to be counted as coming from thait This was the character of the paper when Judge Bradley finished it, and when tie communicated it to his colleagues. During the whole of that night Judge Bradley's house in Washington was surrounded by the carriages of visitors who came to see him apparently about the decision of the Electoral Commission, which, as we have said, was to be announced the next day.

These visitors included leading Republicans as well as personsI deeply interested in the Texas Pacific Railroad schleme. When the Commission assembled the next mnoriing, and when the judgment was declared, Judge Bradley gave his voice in favor of counting the votes of the Haves electors in Florida. The argument he did not deliver at the time; but when it cahme to be printed subsequently it was found to be precisely the same as the argument which lie had originally drawn up, and on which he had based his first conclusion in favor of the Tilden electors.

-THE seizure of railway trains by strikers, as if the engines and cars really belonged to them, astonishes ma ny of us, but it is not astonishing. Association creates a strona sense of ownership. Th'1'e locomotive engineer soon colmes to feel that the beautiful wohiderful marhine which he gov ernm is is. How canl capital possibly have any affection tor what is to it a mere mechanical contrivance for moving freight? Tlie engineer would scarcely be human if lie did not come to entertain this feeling of ownership. It is not unfrequently the case that a reporter on a big newspaper, particularly if he is ambitious and capable, comes to feel that the entire concern rests on his small shoulders, and the proprietors themselves hardly suffer in their mindl, so tuuch as this young man when things go amiss.

lie has in his active brain a theory which would make the fortune of the paper, if the proprietors could he brought to take it up, and when, in the vicissitudes of journalism, he is called to some other sphere of usefulness, he listens for the crash which his withdrawal must inevitably praduce. He has a sfyise of partnership which only years 'r stern reality can dispel. It is lor befoe the unwritten law which mta him a proprietor can be sulticientlv to let in the light which Is him to himself as a single emplsye. -TuFa South at this moment must exlerien.e( peculiar feelings. After having inenrri-d the stigma of tihe chalipion rebel of American hiistery, and been watclned and distrusted for years as the great sent disoil tent in tItis country, the cilrber, i probable ralty t'; the lost cause was come or to be imputed at once in four years -this black shnep in the flock must experience peciliar pleasure in seeing its Federal garrisons stripped to fu nish troops to take care of the Not thi.

to see the President anti his Cabinet in daily session receiving war bulletins from New York, Philadelphia, Chlicago and other "truldy lail" centres. If hunlor were a Soutiiliert quality, thie impulse of Governor Wade Hlampton and Governor Nicholls to offer thie services of thie troops of South Carolina and Louisiana to tihe President to put down these incendiary PennIsylvanians would have been irresistible. Govaernor Hlampton should "march through Baltimore" in the slpirit of 1861, and the historic muse fairly stand on her head, as she might with perfect propriety in these of "tiebacks."
