TWO CENTS. What Marshal Dudley Says About indiana, A private letter has been received here from William W. Dudley, United States marshal for Indlana, who ts reputed to be one of tile best political organizers in the west. The enclosure to which Mr. Dudley refers was an estimate of the present strength of the two parties in that State, based upon the elections for a series of years and revised In accordance with recent Canvasses of the counties, giving a republican pene of twenty-three hundred. The follow- ig Is the text of the letter: ExpIANaPOLis, Aug. 16, 1880.—Dear Friend :— Your favor of the 14th I’have, and send you en- closed a statement of pluralities which’ I pre- pared and had printed previous to our visit to Chicago to the convention. Its object was to convince delegates that we had a good fighting chance for the state. It was based upon my reports from the various precincts as received up to April ist, and was tolerably-reltable at that time,~ It I were mak: it to-day I should change {t considerably, and’ in our favor, and against us in a few counties, though I should not estimate the total votes of the two parties so nigh #8 I did then and the total of the national vote larger; still the increase of national vote Will only serve to swell our piurallty. I should not estimate the result of any honest vote of the state, as it stands to-day, at less than 5,000. We have compiete machinery to prevent im- ported votes, and the enemy are not holding their ground with accustomed tenacity. The tact is, we have the ‘ bulge” on them in every Way, and intend to keep it. Mr. Porter fs mak- ing a pena canvass, and is standing it first- rate. He will be elected as sure as election day comes. Every eye is open; every tentacle out. ‘Mr, English’s every wink ts noted and ana- lyzed, and you may set it down that we mean to earn and deserve victory this time. Yours trul x W. Dupiey. Political Notes. It 1s reported tn political circles here that Judge Russell, “national” member of Congress from North Carolina will shortly come out for Pepeork. Mr. Russell was a Hayes elector tn ST6. Ex-Governor Garceion does not speak conf- dently of the democratic prospects in Matne. ‘The two opposing factions of the democracy of New Jersey, on ke and “anti-ring,” have agreed to unite on George C. Ludlow, of New Brunswick, as their candidate for governor. ‘The nomination of Fraak Potts by the repubil- cans made it necessary for the democrats to unite upon some pop@lar man, as Ludlow is said to be. The Cincinnatl Conimercial says: “Hon. John C. New is confident the republican state ticket in Indiana will be elected In October. He backed this opinion with $1,000 yesterday.” Senator Thurman has promised to be present at the democratic ratification meeting in Wash- ington next Thursday evening, and he will de- liver the principal speech of the occasion. Sen- ator Vest, of Missouri, is in the city, and ft is thought he will consent to remain’ over and make a speech. Ex-U. S. Senators Poole, of North Carolina, and Fowler, of Tennessee, for- mer republicans, will also be among the speakers. J. B. McCullagh, the editor of the St. Louts Globe-Democrat, whose feelings were a good deal hurt by the tallure to nominate Graut at Chicago, still thinks Garfield will win. He says all claims of democratic ability to carry Penn- sylvania and Ohio are nonsense, and that he does not see how the republicans can fall to carry Indiana, the key to the situation, tn Octo- ber. McCullagh, in Se with a number of democratic friends, Ohio ‘Congressmen and others, visited Gen. Hancock a day or two ago, and he says that the general is confident of election, takes it as a matter of course, and alludes to a democrat as a “Hancock man” as if he had taken the party under his wing.

It is propoeed by the District Commissioners to grade and gravel 9th street, between B and C streets southwest, and make an easy and ac- cessible way to the new Museum bullding, either for es or pedestrians. A citizen residing in Defrees street, 1n a note to the Commissioners, calls attention to the great existing nuisance of the ringing of milk Wagon gongs about the streets as early as five oclock in the morning, startling infants and making them cry, and adding to the discom- fiture of invalids. He asks to have the ringing these gongs stopped. THE NEW SCHOOL HOUSE ON CORCORAN SQUARE. Contractor J. H. Howlett with a force of laborers is making good progress with the ex- cavation for the foundation walls of the new School building to be erected on P street. He is having the stone cut and all necessary mata- rial delivered for the foundation walls. Much of the material for this purpose, espectally the cut stone, which was to have been used for the Proposed market house on that square, 13 already on the ground and convenient for use. This will be put into the walls of the new school house and will save much time in the construction of the building. HOW THE DISTRICT TREASURY IS GUARDED. ‘The carefulness, caution and numerous checks that are made use of in the District of Coluin- bia buildin, be illustrated by the follow- ing example man in the fire department wants a jittle oli with which to polish his en- ene He makes his request to the foreman of 1s Company; from theré 11 goes to the chief en- pacer for approval; trom there to the board of re commissioners. The request is discussed in open meeting, and if approved a requisition 4s made, which is sent to the Commiastoners of the District. The Commissioners then send the requisition to the superintendent of property, Who issues an order on the contractor for oils. When furnished he prepares three bills for the Same, and sends them to the superintendent, who keeps one copy and sends the other two through the Commissioners of the District to the board of fire commisaloners for examina- Uon. The bill ts tuen approved by the secretary of the board of fire commissioners, and entered upon the records of that board, It ts then for- Warded with a letter of transmittal to the C Missioners of the District of Columbia, and entry made by the clerk keeping the day-po0k in that cftice, and indexed by another clerk and taken to one of the Commissioners, who refers it to the auditor and controller, which refer- ence is again entered on the day-book. Itis then sent to the auditor and controller. The bill is now audited, and reference is made to it on the journal. It ts then placed on the appro- priation ledger, after witch it 1s placed on the TeoLal ledger. Next a check is drawn, signed y the auditor and controller, and a scheduie made out for the same. The check is signed by the president of the Board of Commissioners and the schedule checked by him. The check ig returned to the auditor and controller and laced In possession of the pay clerk, who, upon ‘ing satistied that the contractor for that pint of ofl is the proper party to whom to pay It, de- livers it to him; and then he will have to take the check to the Treasury to be cashed or trust to pene frlend to advance the money to him on ft.
