Mr. Simon Cameron’a Wail—-The Distrikn tion of Cabinet-Offices, tho Xegro Population of the Capital, and Their Physical and Horal Retrogression, Brom Our Gren Correspondent. Wasnrnaton, D. C., Aug. 27.—Some Demo- cml: papers are siinple enough to accuso President Hayes of junketing, and of neglect- {ng the datics of the Administration for pleas- ure-trips about the country. Nothing could be more contemptuously unfair than such a treat- ment of the President by the opposition jour- pals, The truth fs, no Preatdent iss ever to closely attended to his duties in Washington as President Hayes. It was tho custom of the carller Presidents, probably without exception, to spend the greater portion of every aummer sway from the Seat of Government. CUSTOM OF FORMER PRESIDENTS. Washington always went to Mount Vernon, which, In days of the stage-coach, was a good distance. Jolin Adams always took the long atage-journcy to Quincy, Mase.; and Jofferson spent the hot months at Monticelto and Poplar Forest. There were then no telegraph and no " yallroads by which the Prestdent could com- amuntcate with the Seat of Government Io a few | promising as thelr parents, minutes or o few hours, Yet there were few curptaints from the Democrata {u those days that public business was serlouaty finpeded by the absence of the Presidents at their summer- retreats. Jolin Adame, indeed, went so far os to date official letters from Quincy, Mass. In 1900 he did this from July until October; and, during the years when Conercss adjourned on thodth of March, the Adama papers sluw that official correspondence was dated from Quincy ancarly aa tho middlc of May. Inone-of these Ictiers President Adams wrote: JONN ADAMS. The people elected me to administer the Govern- ment, itin true; nnd 2 do administer tt here at Quincy a8 readily o8 [could at Philacelpida., The Feeretirles of State, ‘Ireasury, War, Navy, aud the Attorney-General tranemit tne ually, by post, all the busiiess of consequence, and nothing 1a done without my advice and direction, whon I in. hero any more than when I am in the aumne elty withthem.

The Decay of the tumber Industry, and Ite Effect upon the Clty—An Atleged Lack of Husiness Enterprise. Spectat Correepondence of The Teibune, OsnKosn, Wis, Aug. 20.—In former years this city was regarded as foremost among the Prosperous and growing young cities of the West, and destined to become an important manufacturing point of the State. Situated at the mouth of tne For River. it naturally be- caine the uolnt for the working-up of the vast forests of pine bordering on that river and its tributaries, Mille were erected ofl slong the river bere; the demand for men to work them attracted immigration; and the city's growth, from its first settlement, was marvelously rapid. The Fox and ‘olf Rivers, navigable each for over 100 miles up, flowed through # section of farming countsy sur- passing in richness of soil any other portion of Wisconsin, the products of which naturally found a market here. In fact, ail the trade and traffic of the whole surrounding territory were, by reason of the taclilties of communication alforded by these rivers and by Lake Winne- bago. magnetically drawn here as the point which Nature had intended for thetr reception, No effort was uceded then on the part of ber citizens to enbauce ber prosperity; ber natural advantages alone were sufiicteut to butld up a thriving city. The manufacture of lumber was then a re- munerative business, and to-day the majority of our capitatiste are men who began Hile licre escommon mill-hands, and, by ngid economy and hard work, Save became mill-owners them. selves. But lumbering ia not what tt used to be, and on that one industry did the city de- pend for ita support. No effort has been made tobranch outand diversily ber manulactures, and to the mills only could the large number of laborers tu Lue city look tur employment.

This gradual sludiay ol the tnills bere, with no other {udustry coming fu to til the vould Jeit by them, has thrown a large nuniber of men out of work, and caused an exouus of peopte trum the city. This, in turn, hus closed up a number of buainess-bouses, tur want of support, forced others inte bunkruptey, and has hada depress- lug effect ou the surviving ones. A targe amotnt of pi rty has been thrown on the tuarket for sale, tor which there ts no demand whatever, and real estate bus consequently depreeisted nearly 60 per cont within the Joat+tiwo years. Iu order tu revuild after the great fire, owners ot property in the busines portion uf the elty were coinpelled te murt- gage heavily,—laburiny under the delusion, In- spired by the prese here at that tle, that the elty hod’a bright career of prosperity besore ity that, ifthe eltizens showed recuperative pluck fu rebuilding, it would attract outside capital; and that’ property, tnetead’ of depreciating, would entance In value under tae increased dee tmaud fur juvestuneat here.

The hour of 2p. m. found the hall of the Chamber of Com- merce densaty packed with leading representa- tives of the coal, iron, and other industries which have made Pittsburg famous, all anxious 30 hear what the jotty-man had to say on 4 sub- devt fn which they were so vitally fnterestes.

He commenced by saying that the Father of Waters carried in suspension the debris of half a continent. The cause of this was the velocity of the current ‘which constaut- ly abraded the bunks, It also gave the river power to regulate the size of the channel, In narrow places the current aeanuttea wreut veluci- ty, which diminishes when the stream widens, and a bar ts formed. ‘The condition fg reversuik when the river falls, and, the velocity of the current becomiug greater ou the bars, they are dredged out, or, a8 pilots say, The river (3 cutting anew channel,” ‘The same principle, he said, that had tmproved the great river at the mouth would remedy these defects wherever applied.
