sing slowly, thediversity of opinicms
of the Members on various questions
coming before them, is the cause of
the delay. Formerly the most of the
discussion on bills was -confined to
the members of their retictive rem
mitties in committee. But lately it
would seem that:committees wereon
ly made a convenience to delay busi
ness.
•
The financial , quellion Ls still be
ing discussed in committee, in news
papers and on thestreet. The whole
country it seems, is making itself in
terested in this question. The Presi
dent and Secretary Boutweil are quiz
ed as to their views upon each of the
suggestions made by the different Id.
C's. There are no two who agree ex
actly upon a plan to solve the great
financial problem, All the Members
are interested, many of them selfish
ly so. They are daily in receipt of
letters from their constituents com
plaining of the delay. One, wbo is
by the way, a large manufacturer, in
writing to his member says : "Set
tle the financial question at once. The
passage of the worst kind of a bill is'
far preferable to this continual talk
without definite results."
The funding bill was debated at
length yisterday in committee, with
out 'definite result,. but some of the
members cif the committee think that
perhaps they may agree upon some
thing before the week closes.
The tariff question is assuming gi
gantic proportions. As straws indi
cate which way the wind blows, Just
so does the vote of members on the
tariff bill, generally, decide whether
they are far or against the free trade
principles, or whether they are op
posed to the theory of a high protee
tive tariff. While Members from the'
West and South, of both parties, feel
that makes they, in the main, oppose
any tariff above a revenue one, their
bread is dough, many of the Repub
licans are afraid to vote with their
common enemy, the Democrats, for
fear that it might indicate affiliation
with them.
Late letters' and telegrams from
Georgia received here, indicate that
the people are anxious for immedi
ate reconstruction in some form or
other. Even preferring the Senate
military bill, which puts the State un

the Bullock administration. It Is
reported from very good authority
that in 'awe the Senate bill passes the
House, the President wilk veto it.—
The President, has expressed himself
to members calling upon him, that
.he was exceedingly anxious to see the
reconstruction of Georgia closed up
by her immediate representation* In
Oangrees.

(lieneral Eaten, the Commissioner
of Education, hag recently had pre
pared In hilt office, a number of tables
of an exceedingly interesting eharac-,
ter showing the:elation of education
to the revenues of the country, the

the distribution of patents to Inven
tors. Also, the distribution of per

unable tb read and write with the
political majorities which determined
the elections, in all the States and in
sections in 1860 and 1868. These ta
bles are necesstrially tssied- upon the
census of 1860, and they show conclu
sively, that. as Secretary lloutwell
said, many years ago In Massachusetts

Tennessee, toward supporting the
Government, and paying the Nation
al debt. Yet Tennessee has the largest
area, the best soll,cilmate and mineral
resources, and was admitted first Into
Union. The contrasts arestill great
er between other States where igno
ance of citizens prevails to a greater
extent on the one side and intelli
gence on the other.
The political table shows that in
seventeen States In 1860, the plurali
ties or majorities were less than the
number of illiterate vote. The excess
of the number of illiterate votes to
day over the popular vote (491,275)
which elected Mr. Lincoln, are 1,043,-
589, not counting the increase for the
last tee years. President Grant's
majority was 309,722, less by
142 than the number of adult men
who were in 1860, unable to read and
write. Another feature of the tables
show that the persons who are able
to read and write in the South, read
much less of the current literature of
the day, than those in the North.
In several of the States South, the
number of voters who canna read
their ballots are greater than those
who can. These tables will soon be
published lu some form for general
information, but it is notyet decides'
how.

In the new "settlements ' of this
country. in thB far West, on the
frontiers of etvilhatiog who are pro fs
ably not equalled anywhere .feederi
pwatlon andon reckless diaregard for
human life. Of this glass were the
men of whom I am ela n d fo relate
t h e following Incident;
A few years ago, (I was about
eighteen at. the time,) I had gone
tiut to the western part of Kansas for
the purpose of spending my college
vacation in hunting. On my arri
val In the neighborhood of the bunt
ing grounds, I proceeded on horse'
tack from the county town to a tav
ern situated in a thinly settled dis;
trict which was chiefly inhabited by
hunters—the majority of them of
that desperate character which ob
tains among men who are cut loose
from all social ties,and whose rule of
law is the revolver and bowie knife.
—lily purpose in going to this house
[ was to make such preparations over
night as were necessary before enter
ing upon my hunting expedition on
the next day.
On my arrival ut the tavern, I
found six oreight of the frequen ters
of the house assembled in the bat
room drinking. They were a rough
hardy looking set of men—chiefly'
Americana—and seemed to be of a
tiansthat would scruple at no deed,
however perilous in its character.
They were dressed fur the most part
in homespun clothing and were all
I splendid types of -that strong-limbed
growth of the/western plains and
forests which acts us the pioneersof
pusgress and civilisation.
I sat down in: one corner of the
room apart listening to the conversa
tion going on between the men.
Their talk was chiefly concerning
certain adventures that they bad ex
perienced in the course of their hunt
ing expeditions, and of deeds of vio
lence which had transpired at vast;
ous times in the settlement. I no
ticed that the name "Black
'cart" was was frequently of
mentioned dor
ing the conversation and . always in
a manner that indicated that the
man who bore that name was at once
'dreaded and disliked by those pres
ent. From the character that was
I given him in the recitals of the men
—his name being f mixed up with
some of the roostieurfulandsanguin
my acmes that they were describing
came to the conclusion that this
same "Black Duncan" was one of
those characters of .whom we read so
frequently the desperado of the
western wilds.

the road—was opened, and a man of
gigantic height and of a morose vis
age made his appearance standing
on the threshold, and looking steadi
ly upon the company assembled in
the room. Instinctively I felt thisto
be "Black Duncan," the hero of the
night's conversation. I had also a
singular presentiment that the for
bidding looking stranger had come
to the tavern on this particular night
for no good purpose. Ills appearance
air he stood there, was one calculated
to strike terror to the stoutest heart,
even in 'this wild region of wilder
men.—Nearly seven feet in height,
and large and brawny in proportion,
his face was shaded by a heavy growth
of jet-black beard, which mensal but
a continuation of his long hair of the
sanurcolor. The hue of his hair and
bead, taken in connection with his
reddish, swarthy complexion,was
sufficient to account for his nicname
of "Black Duncan," by which he was
known. Ills eyes were 'Moog_ shot,
and his whole appearance ffidicted
that he had been drinking deeply.
He was dressed in a hunter's shirt
and his legs, from the knee to the
[ feet, were encased in buckskin leg
gins. Upon his head he wore a fur
cup, from beneath which his hair
; streamed down over his shoulders.
The formidable picture was comple
ted by the presence of a couple of re
volvers and a murderous looking
bowie knife, which werestuckin the
leather belt which he wore around
his waist.
As this man appeared on the scene
a deathly stillness fell upon the par
ty. I heard one of them say to his
neighbor in .a whisper.
"Speak of the devil and here he
comes, Black Duncan, by all that is
holy."
• "He looks dang erous to night," re
plied the other. "He means mischief
or I'm a liar."
I noticed that nearly every man of
the party, at this juncture placed his
hand on the but of his revolver,
which, like Black Duncan. he wore
in his belt. What my feelings were
at thus having been brought face to
face with one of those desperate oc
casions so common in the history of
border life, may be conjectured.
For the first minute or two follow
ing Black Duncan's arrival, every
man kept his eye fixed upon the un
welcome form in the doorway, as if
uncertain what was to follow. The
latter was still looking down upon
the party with that fixed stare and
dangerous expression of the eyes that
had attracted theattention of the man
whose remarks I had overheard.
Suddenly he closed the door behind
him, and anvanced into the room,
walking slowly toward the her, be
hind - which the proprietor stood
awaiting him.
Standing beside the bar, and still
with his eye fixed upon the party,he
brought his hand down upon the
counter and exclaimed in a deep, de
termined voice :
"Who says I'm not the bee of this
ranch. eh ?"
To this defiant question, one of the
men replied with a certain oleo( in

The desperado here poured out a

Even In the horror of the moment, I
could not but admire the courage of

hoped, whoever was killed, heeded
not be among the number.
A tight of so bloody a character
could not last long--especially con

with each man in ignorance of his
lininediate neighbor. After an in
terval of about four minutes from tho
time when the combatants, at the
going out of the candle, had come to
close quarters, the uproar slackened
peneptibly. The sound of shuffling
feet at the farther end of the room

opened the door of the closet a few
inches and looked out. The dour

was open and by the dim light that
was admitted from without I could
see some of the results of the, affray.
The chairs and tablet were scattered
about the floor, and what was more

had fallen in the dreadful encounter.
'I counted four of these tigums—one
of them, from its size, I fell' certain,

Deeming this an auspicious moment

floor of the bar-room, the party went
to the house. .
"Three of our men are missing,"
said ono of them, "and the other

When, by looking into the room,
