In his lave message to Congress, the President has made an tmportant recommendation in regard to the Potomac flats, which we hope our legisia- tors will take into serious consideration and act on early in the present session. We publish to-day, in furtherance of the recommendations above re- ferred to, a letter written last February by Mr. Jno. W. Garrett, during his visit to Europe, and addressed to our venerable fellow-citizen, Mr. Cor- coran. A ven some time since to a private gentleman, by whom it has been handed to us,and in view of the good its publication may accomplish we feel confident that helther Mr. Garrett. nor Mr. Corcoran will object to our laying it before our readers. The views suggested by Mr. Garrett merit consideration of members of Con gress, and of every good citizen who feels an in- terest in the welfare of the city: Rome, February 2, 1881. DEAR Mr. Concorat = & = We expect to go to Paris, and to stay few weeks in England, and hope to see you at home tn May next. ‘was glad to note by a newspaper (for which, if Iam indebted to you, I thank you,) that yourself and other leading citizens of Washington had called on President Hayes in regard to urging Con- gress to make appropriations for the reclamation of the low lands covered by the Potomac, and to construct for that river a clear, straight, unob- ‘structed deep channel. I much regretted, when I called with you at the White House, a few days before I sailed, that we had not the pleasure of seeing the President, and conversing, as we designed, with him on this im- portant subject. I have been for years deeply im- pressed with the exceeding great necessity for this Invaluable improvement, for the purpose of Securing the health and increasing the prosperity and progress of our national capital. Ihave availed of many opportunities to urge the subject upon the attention of Representatives and Senators and members of the Cabinet. I also had the pleasure S scam conference with President Hayes in regard > Washington must be relleved of these malarlous Swamps, which are the origin of mi! constitu- onal debility, of fever, and summer stilence, You and your co-adjutors must ultimately suceced in securing for Washington what London has so advantageously realized through its Thames em- oe and Paris by its embankment of the Seine. yy of this letter was The Holiday Season. ‘WHAT TO BUY AND WHERE TO BUY.

In 1828 and several subsequent consecutive years, I was-a constant attendant at the theater named, and have a distinct recollec- tion of the Jefferson family. It was composed of Joseph Jefferson, John Jefferson, his son, and Mrs. Chapman, his daughter, as well as the babe that made one of the characters in Pizarrs, though this ‘Was anterior to 1834. I have always supposed that, the Joseph Jefferson and John Jefferson referred to were the grandfather and father of the present comedian, Joseph Jefferson, having no recollection of any other Joe Jeffergon. ' If there were another, as the one designated én your article as No. 2, he was probably not an actor, asI remember with at distinctness the most of the persons compos- ing the company. Besides the actors mentioned there was one named Wills, an excellent low come- dian, and another named ‘Allen, who was at the tme said to be the faidor of thecompany. At this theater I have seen the elder Jefferson in his char- acter of “Paul Pry,” the elder Booth in those of Surely the city—the capital of our Republic— where those must reside for a large portion of the year who make and administer laws for the gov- ernment of fifty millions of people, at no remote perlod to exceed one hundred million, and in- creasing always, shou!d be free from all dangers to health which can be avoided.
