E. LEIGH. The warm weather of the last week has had a thawing effect upon the financitl frigidity of the law-makers at the end of the Avenue, and the various deficiency bills have gone through in quick succession. On Monday the District Commissioners issued an order for the closing of the public schools on Tuesday as there was "nary a red" left to kpep them running. The citizens thereupon threw up their hands in holy horror at the prospect of haying twenty thousand school children turned loose upon the streets, and such a wail went up to Congress, that that august body took up the school deficiency bill and passed it 875,0,00, The Democrats in the House have about settled upon the Judiciary omruittee as the proper body to conduct heir proposed investigations into President Hayes tjgA resolution to give the committee proper authority to carry on this work will be offered in a day; or so.

At times gentle and win- -ning as the May sunshine, at others wild and untamed, and yet graceful as the deer.

When caught as peaceful and gentle as an evening breeze, I might have likened Lightning to the incomparable charms of those -beautiful exquisite and lovely maidens whom .1 saw reveling in the giddy' mazes Jhe dance on the 5 evening of May 1st.

The Republican claims lhat on impartial investigation of this kind would show that Hayes is entitled tq SO more electoral votes than he re: ceiyed and that his title rests upon an equity much more substantial than the famous "seven and eight."
