Potatoe-faced Brigands and Ca- daverous Confederates Abundant The Caucus Cabul Wrang- ling for the Spoils of Office. Thurman’s Ambitious Rivals Pressing for the Demo- cratic Throne. Our Own Valentine the_Idol of the Gallery Girls. His Devout Attitude During Prayer Captivates the Coquettes THERE NOTHING SUCCEEDS EUT SECESH. Correspondence of Tux Bzx. Wasaseiox, D. C., April 3, 1879, —The President called an extra ses- sion of Congress that some important legislation for the honor, safety, and general good of the country, might be sccomplished ; but 5o far—and Con- gress has been in session over two weeks—nothing has-been done but holding Bourbon-intrigues and wran- gling over the spoils of office. The Senste meets daily- (Sundays excepted now) at the appointed hour, twelve o'clock m., and after the morn- ing hour—this morning bour is us- ually very stupid in the galleries, who like Micawber are always waiting for something to turn up—go into exclus sive session for a few moments and then adjourn; a democratic caucus jmmediately follows the adjournment. “THEM FOOL DEMOCRATS” don’t know what to_do-with Congress now they have it; the best mode of legislatiag to their several interests— for it must be remembered that the Northern Democrat is offe kind of a fellow, and the Southern rebel anoth™ er kind of a man—is a matter hard to settle upon. These daily caucuses held at the capitol, and nightly cau- cuszes, which meet here and there and everywhere, aro very unsettling, very, It is not to be expected, in fact it is notin the nature of things, that the new Senate should hold its imposing honors easy at first—things are man- ageavery awkwarkly just now; but bye and bye the country will be sston: ished to see how lightly, very lightly, honors and the affairs of government, will be handled. THURMA} THE KING, who has hel over the Democrats 80 long, is now having » hard tussle to keep his usurpers at bay; there are 50 many ambitious aspirants for the throne, each one attended by a well equipped army of followers, that there is danger of the old King losng his power: but he is a daring plucky old General, and whenever he unfurls his red flag to the breeze, a bugle sound is heard and all instantly ‘‘right about face!” He is old fashioned in his ideas as wellas personal habits, and does ot like to have the younger members of his party rushin heaclong with their new-fangled notions of law, aud by whom the country is to be gev erned. It is very amusing to see him eyeing the rash youths from under his heavy gray eyebrows; he looks at them askance and deliberately takes out of his pants pocket a silver snuff- box, taps it affectionally, taking outa inch for himself then passes the Eox acound, a oourtesy respectally considered by those so honored— which sets the younger ones to snesz- 1ng tremendously. REPEALS ARE IN ORDER now, and no doubt all the laws made by Congress since the rebellion will be repealed and new ones msde to suit the party in power. There are wild notions entertained by some of the sanguine sons of the sunny land; idle dreams of absolute power again— wer to buy and sell human flesh! heard one of these vigorous minded “gentlemen of the South” say: “‘We are getting back our power again. The time is not far distant when Jefl. Davis will occupy a seat in the United States Senate, and we shall command our slaves once more.” THE HOUSE certainly presents a very sprightly ap- , and a very good looking E;, of men to be sure. If they would only behave as well as they look (no doubt they all this advice when they left home), we should have nothing to «complain of ; but it isn’t their nsture to behave, you know. There is your new member, Mr. Val- entine, (is he as romantic as hisname?) The girls call him pretty, and he is in ot favoe with the ladies at the otel-—a sure thing of his success. His attitude during prayer is very devout and respectful. “Forgive our tres- passes as we forgive those who trespass against us,” says the chaplain of the House, and down goes Valentine's head. _ This is good behayiour, very, and a good attitude to or the ‘benefit of the lookersonin the galleries especially the ladies whom Mr. Valentine delights to please. He inks hi » good “a fair- iddli g s good com- mand of the Speaker’s desk, and if he he is an eloguent, gifted debater with a loud tongue, he may possibly suc- ceed in catching the _near-sighted eve, and thereby obtain the 3 a dreadful i (that's just what it is) for a new mem- ber to try to get the floor, in other words to try and get a word in edge- wise. The new member with 2 bum- ing desire to make a speech, kno his dear constituents from. afar '.'.."fl hear and , tremblingly lifts his seat, with his finger does not hear, and the new member, often standing fcr ten or fifteen min- utes, sinks iuto his chair rather limp. Peace follows. THE TIRE OF DEBATE which was opened by General Gar- field last Saturday is being carried on with great fury on both sides. One is reminded of the anmesty debates so great is the excitement, only now the feeling seems to be more revolutionary. During Garfield’s speech—I presume you all have read it in this—there was great excitement on the floor, the Re- publicans frequently applauding; and i the gallacies which were densely crowded suppressed applause quivered like the sea at the coming of G“gnnd storm. The power of eld’s speeches lie as much in his eloquent manner of speaking as in_the word. He impresses his hearers with having perfect knowledge and control of the subject before him, and beiug perfoctly., sstisfied with his own ability to command. Garfield fully believes in himself! His self-con- sciousness is at times too striking and the force of his speaking is lost there- by;.it is impossible to forget that General Garfield is before you, no ‘matter how interested you may be in what he says. Being a large, finely framed man, with a handsome pres- ence, he commands attention at once. He speaks deliberately, clearly artigu- lating his well-chosen words in a-loud tone, distinctly heard in every part of the House. At times his voice has » ‘blatant sound, a sort of flat preaching sound, but this is not frequent, I am glad to say. He used to bea Metho- dist preacher, I believe. It didn't take long for the ““heavenly tones” to die out in Congress. SOCIETY HAS ‘BEEN SCANDALIZED over the ‘‘nastiness” of the Oliver- Cameron trial that has just been de- cided in favor of the venerable Simon, who, as the court admits, has been quilty of “litile indiscretions”—a mild way of treating the old sinner's vile acts. Of course we all know that money and “posish” would be evi- dence enough, no matter how guilty the old scamp might be. What jus- tice could a penniless woman, who is neither young nor handsome, hope to get against such odds and Ben. But- ler! Ben. Butler has conducted the trial in the lowest possible manner; his cross-examinations of Mrs. Oliver were 80 low and vulgar, that men,hard- ened in criminal trials, turned awsy in loathing disgust. Whatever the facts of the case may have been, Ben Butler has been cunning enough, backed by the power of money and the house of Cameron-Sherman, to win without resorting to the basest vulgarity. Ben Butler is unscrupu- lous in his dealings with politics and politicians we all know, but we sup- posed he had respect for woman. I am sure the female suffragists, who have always counted Ben Butler as a friend to the cause, will bring down a volley of abuses upon his bald pate, that will ‘sweep off what little fringe of hair there is on the back of his head. But Ben went in to win; no ‘matter at what cost, udhdflé_ THE Washington "Sew Tork Tridune The vemarkable movement of color- ed people from the Sonth: to the West is exeiting much attention here, as well asconsiderable alarm in theSouth. Itis due to two causes—cheating the blacks as laborers out of their earn- ings, and bull-dozing them as citizens out of their right to a free ballot. At present, the most marked phases of this movement are seen in Mississippi, Louisiana, and South Carolina. ters from Tennessee, especially from the southern and western counties, in- dicate its procress there. In South Carolina, while there has been no vis- ible movement made yet, there is a strongly organized movement on foot among the better classesof the colored people. For the last four years there has been a marked desire among the most enterprising negroes in the black counties of Georgia to get away to Texas. So extensive has this been, that the Georgia legislature has pro- hibited agents from inducing laborers to leave the State. Alabama has not yet fallen into line as far as heard from. In South Carolina Messrs. Rainey, Cain, Smalls, Nash, and most of the colored leaders, are in sympa- thy with the emigration scheme. In Louisiana, Pinchback, Menard, and others support it. Senator Bruce lends it his countenance in Mississippi. It is quite probable that the Nashville convention will take some action inthe same line by appointing an_executive committee to gather information and look after the whole matter. Perhaps the most practical action yet had is seen in the feeling mani- Tested by the great railroad enterprises now in progress in the West toward this laboring element. Gould, for the Union Pacific, has, it is report- ed, recently intimated a desire to em- ploy 1,000 colored men on favorable terms on the Utah Ceutral road. Mr. Huntington, for the Central and Southern Pacific roads, will give em ployment this fall in Arizona to 1,000 men. Ex-Senator Patterson, who is now in the service of the Southern Pacific road. and will reside in Tucson hereafter, has taken this matter in hand in conjunction with leading col- ored Republicans of his former State. It is believed that Arizona will be able to find emplopment for several thousand of these people. The country is well adapted to them, and the people _will be very glad to re- place the Chinese, who are now going there, with American colored laborers. The colored people will do well, with- out doubt, in New Mexico and Arizo- na. The Indian Territory, if open to settlement, would afford available homes for thousands. There are near- ly 12,000 people of color, formerly their slaves, citizons of or residents in the various Indian nations. The Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad indicated a purpose to femploy in New Mexico a large force of colored laborers. The Pacific Railroad has agreed to carry colored emigrants_from_Omaha, who may be going to Southern Californis and Arizona, if they arrive in bodies at Omaha, at the rate of 1 cent per ‘mile, or thereabout, which would make the cost of the whole journey from the Missouri River to Maricopa Wells,the terminus until vext winter of the Seuthern Pacific, not over $30. There is a decided inclination at the Califor- nia end of the transcontinental roads 1o encourage emigration_thither, and to that end fares are likely to be largely reduced, and the second class accommodations largely increased. ——— Declined to Accept His Resignation | Amociated Press Dispatch. Civcixxami, April 8.—A letter was received to-day by Archblshop Pur- | playing. cell from Cardinol Simeoni,secretary of the Pope, declining to accept the arch- bishop's resignation o account of his long service to the church. The arch- bishop was instructed to select a co- adjutator with the right of succession to the see of Cincinnati. BLACK BUTCHERS. Fragments of the British Army Slaughtered in South Africa. A Convoy of Supplies Surprised, Captured and Guard Killed. Swarms of Dusky "Savages in the Valleys and the Mountains. The Zulus Victorious. ‘Associated Press Dispatch. Carerows, March 25,via Cape Folt Vincent.—A convoy of supplies pro- ceeding from Derby to Lumburg, es- corted by 104 men of the Eighteenth regiment, was attacked at daybreak March 12th on the banks of Intombe river by 4,000 Zulus under Unbeline. Owing to previous alarm the British were under arms, but were over- whelmed by the enormously superior force of the enemy. Captain Moriar- ty and forty men were killed and twenty are missing. The fate of the wagon drivers is _ unknown. Lieutenant Harward with forty men succeded iv in reaching Lunebarg. One hundred and fifty men of the Eightienth re%i— ment subsequently proceeded to the scene of the fighting, recovered s quantity of rockets and ammunition and bur'ed the dead. Twenty wagons containing supplies were lost. A re- lief column for Ekowe will start March 26th. A party of volunteers have visited the battle field of Isan- duls and found that the Zulus had left 100 wagons there but had re moved the guns and ammaunition. ADDITIONAL DETAILS. Loxpox, April 8.—The Standard’s dispatch from Ospe Town says the Convoy from Derby was obliged to en- camp on the me of the Intombus river, as it was too full to cross. Lt. d and survivors were encamp- ed on the Luneburg side of the river. Although there had been some pre: vious, the surprise was complete. The nfi:r] only saw the Zulus when they were within fifteen paces. Lieut. Harwsrd's men poured a steady fire across the The Zalus lost heavily but were undaunted. Ouly fifteen of Capt. Moriarity’s men es- caped across the river. They were sleeping in wagons when attacked. The sentry was the only one who had time to fire. The scene of the sur- prise is & hollow surrounded by long grass and weeds. One gun which the Zulus had not removed has since been recovered. The relief column for Ekowe number 5,000 men. BRITISE TROGPS IN A BAD WAY. Loxpox, April 8.—A dispatch from Capetown says much sickness is re- ported in Col Pearson’s command at Ekowe and provisionsare getting very scarce. There is reason to believe 20,000 Zulus are posted near Ekowe. A dispatch to The Times from Dur- ban says the soldiers reported as miss- ing at the disaster on the Intombe were probably drowned. The sur- prise oocured during a dense must. Further fighting on tho Intombe is re- ported. Refuse to Resign.

Wasarxorow, April 9, 5 a. m.—The movement of Ohio Democrats here to secure an alliance with the Green backers for the fall campaign has a much wider significance than s mere effort to carry Ohio. It was conceived by the friends of Senator Thurman and in his interest for the Presidency as against Semator Bayard and the Esstera hard-money wing of the party. T is intended that Thurman shall be themost prominent speaker in the next campaign as a Presidential candidate. Those Who arc at Work in the move- ‘movement believe that by this condi- tion they can forestall the action of eastern Democrats, and compel them to yield to Westeru Democratic ideas of finance. Leading Greenbackers here say there will be no coalition in Ohio. Thay say the Thurman men have already approached them here. and have offered to allow them to make » platform in Ohio, and to chooss all offices on the ticket except that of Governor. These offers they have rejected. They have been sold out by Democrats here and elsewhere, and they believe they have strength suough to whip both parties. THE FOUR PER CENT. It is comvetent for any person now desiring to invest in four per cent bonds, who prefers to obtain them from Government rather than a baok to get them directly from the Treasury through the purchase of new ten dollar refunding certificates. The law suthorizing the refunding certificates says distinctly that they are convertible at any time with ac- crued interest into 4 per cent. bonds described in the refunding act. EDWARD KINNEY, & colored man who owned a farm in Hanover county, Va., came here a few months since with a white woman named Mary Hall, and they were lawfully married, the laws of the district permitting intermarriage of races. _On their re- turn to Hanover county they were in dicted by the grand jury under the laws of Virginia prohibiting intermar riage between the races, tried, convic- ted and sent for five years to the pen- itentiary at Richmond.

Senator Withers made a re- port to the Senate to-day and gave no- tice that he would call up the bill as scon as the Bell contest case is dis- posed of. Blaine submitted an amendment to fine an officer who shall-appear within one mile of an election poll. Bayard tried to get unanimous con- sent in the Senate to pass a bill re- pealing the sections relating to the | jurors test oath.

Representatives Atkins and -Black burn had a conference with Speaker Randall Monday on the Chairmanship of the Comittes on Approprations. Usage would entitle Mr. Blackbum to THIS CHAIRMANSHIP, and Mr. Randall is not indifferent to this fact, but as Mr. Atkins is desir- ous of remaining chairman of the com- mittee, there is no alternative but to displace Mr. Atkina or displease Mr. Blackburn ~_Mr. Blackburn is persist- ent, and as he thinks the chairman- ship of the committee will strengthen his chances for the Speskership of the next Congress.
