How the Camerons’ Win —~Wiles ot the Washington Widow. The President and His Reform— Mrs. Hayes and {ler Reform. The Hero of the Day. Correspondence ‘of the Bee. Washington, Aonl 1.—Washing- ton isinsufferably dull usually after Congress has adjourned ; there does not seem to be anything left but buildings, department clerks and the debris; but now the city is so tall of office seekers the streets pre- sent a lively appearance—humani- ty—very human, going and coming from the White House to the De partments, zud from the Depart ments to the White House with aa suxious, eager look on their faces. Isee a very few that look Demo- cratic; now and then a fellow that has & “smile” all over him reminds one of that extinct race. The broad-brimmied slouched hat, 80 tashionable last winter, has given away to the tall antediluviau stove- pipe worn in the days of the piigrim fathers. The wearers of these hats look awful bungry, and have, I suppose, come after their bread and butter. An official position is no longer one of honor. It means simply—and not so very sumple either, coasidering all the intricate wire pulling—“business.” The fel- low that bas the most money, or has friends who have money, wins. How some of the situations are pro- cured in the departments, the ful- lowing adyertisement in one of the evening papers will illustrate : «$200 il be giveu toany one procuring me a situation in_one of the departments. Best of refer- ences. Address 8. M. H., dtar office.” After all there is nothing so bril liant in politics as diamonds and gold! Think of THE CAMERONS, and weep if you happen to belong to that large class of humanity that are ‘“poor, but proud,” s your chances for aseat In the United States Benate are decidedly slim. Now do you suppose that poor old Simon Cameron, who has outlived hs usefulness, could have had suf- ncient influence over the Legisla- ture of Pennsylvania to causs them to extend his seat he has just va- cated in the U. 8. Senate to his son Don, i 1t had not been for the pow- er of money? Notabitof 1t! J. Don has no reputation for being & :rll]hn( statesman. I have never eard of his making a speech—pos- sibly he has—but he has an eye to business; owns oil wells deep and rich, coal and iron mines miles long, and also owns the votes of the miners and controls the Pennsyl vania Legislature. Who wouldn’t be rich ? > Poor old Bimon, at the ripe age of eighty-nine, is tired of being a pub- lic servant. The climate of Wash- ington doeen’t agree with him as well as it used to—the atmosphere is too hazy; and he has been the vietim of the wiles ofa widow. He attempted to act the “gay deceiver,” and flirted with her tender affeo- tions, and she “went for” the old man’s purse-strings—a man living in Washington as long as he has doesn’t have many heart-strings to gnlnr. But Simon says he didn’t 0 it, and Mary Oliver has gone to courting justice to get what Binon’s courting didn’t give her—money ! THE WASHINGTON WIDOWS are very suscepticie, and so are the politicians to the bewitching smiles bestowed upon them. Ah! they are enchanting creatures—these widows are, and the way their wily snares are set would out-cunning the most cunning fox. There are two classes of politicians—the lions and the foxes; but both, in spite of their sagacity, fall alike into the trap prepared for them. A new member especially is victimized. By the way, right here I will givea word of ad vice to the wives of Con- gressmen: By all means accompa- ny your husbands to Washington. I will give you a fair sample of how these unsuspecting mnocents are ensnared and their fragile heart- strings pulled at. A card, with a black edge all around it, bearing the name of Mrs. General, or Colonel, or Major, or Captain Bo-and so, is sentin. The lady is pretty, has s fine appearance, znd 1ooks as sweet and demure 1n the lovely little wid- ow’s cap nestling around her dim- pled modest face. Sne talks n a sprightly manner for s few mo- ments—Ilong enough for the victim to become deeply interested—and then she uses the strings to her bow —she has several of them—most artfully; she subsides into a most dejected attitude; her beautiful bright face has assamed an expres- si0n of lovely woe; thus she appeals to his sympathy at once. She has a son, perhaps, that she wishes to be a page in the Senate—in some way raust she have bread—or maybe she wishes an eighteen hundred dollar clerkship in the treasury; she must do something to support herself; ber early life was one of luxury; s mere school girl when she was mar- ried ; she is not fitted for hard Ia bor; what shall she do? Her hus- band’s great grandmother was born in the State the honorable gentle- man represents; and in the most pleading way she tells her pitiful story of want and suffering, and with tearsin her eloquent eyes she begs his pardon for having intruded upon his valuable time. In all ten derness, and with s face beaming with soft pity, he takes her littie velvety hand (he is sure to pull oft the glove of her right baud while talking to him), aud pressing it gently and thri lngly, assures her that he will “mve her case the most careful consideration.” To be sure; of course he will. Bhe timudly invites hum, in & disinterest- el way, to call —she would be leased to see him, on her dear, husband’s grest-grandmother’s account; and then she gracefully bows herselt out of his presence with a emile of triumph lurking in the corners of her parting lips, which means, “I've got that Don't be too sare, nuy lady ; some times the shoe is on the other root. But the average Congreseman is so fall of human nature that it is pret- ty hard for nim to resist the many temptations which beset him on all sides. THE NEW ADMINISTRATION is 80 young and tender yet that it is impossible to tell how the child will thrive under the civil service re- form; all reforms are commendable, but sometimes they are very beauti- ful 1u theory, yet most dissstrous in practice. While the reform is in working order and Carl Schurz and the “‘colored man” have been re- cognized, Pat. Bitting Bull and Dr. Mary Walker should not be forgot- ten.” Bend,St. Pat., to Kansas to drive away the grasshoppers; re- lieye Bitting Bull (he must be tired) by @ving bim a place on some standing commiitee, and sead Dr. Mary Walker on an expedition to explore the Rocky mountains; then the rerm will be a success. You in Omaba are near neighbors t Iows, min’t you? Ishould think Tows, which was the banner State for Hayes and Wheeler, would feel | agerieved over not haviug » top seat on -the cabinet coach. I pre sumie Mr. McCrary 1s satistied ; yet, | it »eems to a very odd streak of judgment to put Mr. McCrary, who 1s such a fine statesman and lawyer, with 1o army experience, Into the war department, and Gen. Devens, who was in the army, and is a prac- ticsl General, mto the Adttorney General’s position. Well, the ways of a politician are past finding out. No doubt President Hayes kuew bis o.vn business. I hope he does - some men don’t—so 'l at- tend to my busiuess, which is to mind everybody's business—a nost delightful occupation. The papers all over the country are teaming with praises for Mrs. Hayes, becanse she is goingto work | a reform in the social world by not wearing blazing jewelry and low- necked dresses. ~There Is surely & good chance for reform 1n this di- rection, but suclety Is at & low tide new, a8 it always is after Congress adjourns. We'll wait and see hoy the good lady will dispense honors al the White House next winter, when fashion is m full blast. As Mrs. Hayes is s dark-skinned, spare- looking woman, I presume’she is too sensible to wear low-necked dress; it wouldn’t be becoming to her style in the least, and perhaps | she hasu’t got dismvnds and pearls. | This belng Holy week, the pious portion of Washington are in sack- cloch and_lamentations, especially that part who belong to' the unsuc- cessful sevens! The successful | eights have been on a regular tare | of thanksgiving ever since the third | of March. What a people we Americans are! ever restless and | never satistied; we go recklessly | aloug at break-neck speed, and 1o | stopping us till we are brought up u standing against some wall, where all the ex-politicians are sure to go. Those were 8 woofal set of fellows that went to the wall so flatly the day the NEW SENATE was sworn in. Poor Boutwell was thesorriest and sourest looking man; Massachusetts did well to swap him for Mr. Hoar; and you Nebrasks people, judging from appearances, also made a good exchl:nga. Mr. Saunders looks and acts as though he means ““business,” and that is what we want the coming session. This country demands executive men, and Governor Baunders looks like a man of that sort. Bitting be- side me in the gallery the day the Senate adjourned were two young women (maybe they were widows), who were commenting upon the good looks of the new Senators: “Ob, what a fine-looking man; doesn't he look like a Senator 7 “What lovely white hair and whis. kers!” ‘1 do wonder if he 18 mar- fellow.” | g7 ried!1” Butthe Governor was all attention below, and quite uncon- sclous of being the object of so much admiration. | We from the gallery are all | curiosity when & new member | makes bus “maiden speech,” and | the poor fellow gets the benefit of severe criticism, and if perchance, { then to the street, where a police- ried on at an immense sacrifice, and those witb anything to lose know this and permit their zeal to cool VERY LATEST. = accordingly.

Howard ans- wered, declining until provision was made for paying for the same, and stated If the connection was tade by any persou whatsoever without the consent of the water compauy, such person or persons would be HELD PERSONALLY RESPONSIBLE. The mayor then engaged a plumb- | er, who performed the work neces- sary to restore confidence, though with reluctance, fearing trouble with the water company. Tife mayor stated his intention, if neces- sary, to call out a sufficient number of police to insure the water supply. e BLOOMINGTON. TELEGRAPHIC. Wade Hampton Leaves Washing- ton for Columbia, S. C.

Reporter —To what particular poiut do you refer to in the letter? Gov. Hampton—Well, in the first place he is entirely wrong as to the fact of troops ever being sent to the state house. When Gen. Ruger ar- rived in Colambis, iate at might, he was sent for by Gov. Chamberlain, and told that the state house was surrounded by an armed mob which was Communicated, Bloomington, Neb., April 2.—I thought I would come and ses if you ha shed any tears oyer what the poor little’ Insignificant, adver- tismg cheet, the Bloomington Guard, saysabout you.

If 1 wished, I might have issued an order or writ 1n case the SOLDIERS FAILED To RESPECT IT. I could have arrested them all. I wisbed to avoid this, however, and preferred to settle it otherwise. Reporter—Is there any particular change you inténd to inaugurate re- garding any one thing ? Hampton - intend doing many things, and more especially to frame a healthy tax law, based upon REASONABLE FIGURES. 1 also believe in educating the col- ored people, but it I favor the ides of separate schools, { will recom- mend a state college for white and one for colored people. I think this will be moreacceptable. The pub- lic school system will of course con- BEE, there would not be so much meanness carried oun. T think if the Guard man had studied his gram- mar and spelling when he wasa boy, he could get up a better paper himself. Web. Eaton has just returned from Washington City and reportsif hehad not gotten there as soon as he did, Sol. Males would have been relnstated in the postoffice at Bloom- ington, but as he arrived there he put a stop to that. Oh, Lord, give us a rest from such men as Eaton claiming the honor of figuring mail routes through from Kearney to the Black Hills. I wonder where Dake was at that time. Birds of a feather will flock together. Where do we find the detunct Hitcheock land office ring ? As usual, at the Democratic head quarters. Theie is a complete road beaten from the U. . lund office. Now what does all this mean? Is it putting up a job to run an inde- pendent ticket this fall, combined with the Democrats to beat the Re- publicans in this county; and if we wished we could name someof their candidates aiready selected. But the staunch Republicsns of Frauk- lin county will nominate a ticket that will rout them worse than tbhe soldier boy did the flock of geese, and I can see already defeat inserib- ed on their banner as plain as the dawn of day. Buck & Greenwood are quite flour- ishing merchants here; as are Al len, Cole & Bhaffer. Mr. G. H- Bhepherd has the most practice here of the land attorneys. Mr. Roy Tinkham, our county treasurer, has been quite sick, but is able toattend to his business again. Mr. Dorsey is better and 18 seen at the office with Marshall. as clerk. ‘The Republican City News man says Mr. Dorsey is the only land of- ficer in the State who had no ene- mies when he came into power, and hasachieved nonesince. How nice (or real nice, as the Guard says,) it must be not to have any enemies. I should like to be that simple-looking to have people think I had none.
