LETTER FROM WASHINGTON.
From our regular Corrpsponilfiit.
WASHINGTON, D. C. l>ec. !■'!, 18S0.
Tho session of Congress opened Mon
day with a slim attendance in the House.
The disgusted members who were not
re elected could almost be designated \
by their rueful countenance, whilst the |
second and third termers were notice
ably happy.
The calendar is full of hills, some
three thousand in number from the
last session and a tremendous pull will
be made to have many of them put
through. ')f course the greater num- .
ber will never be reached. It is a much
slower operation to pass a bill in Con
gress than in the State Legislature, ex* >
cept when you come to appropriation j
bills, and here a million dollars will run
through the hopper, much quicker than
a hundred thousand in a State.
Washington City is still being im
proved in all directions. Uows of ele
gant houses have been put up since last
July, and the Washington monument
has a scaffold on it, and it seems as if it
was really to be completed at last. The
new museum building adjoining the
- Smithsonian is completed, e-rtT many of
•'the old centennial exhibits are being
' hnboxed and put in order. The build
ing is nearly square, and is flat, the en
tire exhibits for many years to corne
will be on the ground floor as they
should be. The stairs in the Smithson
ian being high and numerous, deters
many from going into it a second time.
The Capitol buildings have been fixed
up of course, and look very fine indeed.
It looks finer to the Honorable who has
not been re-elected, than to the third
termer. "Thus doth poor Suffolk take
his heavy leave.''
The Democrats held a caucus on
Thursday, ostensibly to fill the vacancy
caused by the death of Captain Stewart,
Postmaster of the House, but really to
talk over matters. A great many South
ern Democrats are anxious of course to
get all they can out of the administra.
tion and you will hear of speeches and
sayings of men who desire it reported
that the whole country South hereafter
is to be solidly Republican in order that
they may get in a little friendly advice
about who is to be Postmaster or Reve
nue Collector. The country will go on
about the same as ever no matter who
is President. Another Bonanza Senator
is promised. This time it is O'Brien,
of California, late of the firtn of Flood
A O'Brien, The California Legislature
is close, a small majority—Republican—
is to be overcome, and O'Brien wants
the job from tho Democrats to over
come it. Wouldn't some of the roosters
of the Pennsylvania Legislature like to
bo there now and on the right side to
sell out. O'Brien can cut it fat, and
there are not many who could cry for
him if the legislature did pluck him
right well. He was considerable on
that himself in any mining stock opera
tions.

WORK BEFORE CONGRESS.
What Was llone Biiiiiur the First
Week of the Session.
PROSPECTS OF liF.TTINU DOW N TO I.KGITI
MATE 111 SI NESS —THE DEBATE ON THE
JOINT ELECTORAL HI I E NOT LIKE
i.v TO IIE LOST; CONTINUED
From t)*>- WtiMtiihgton t*iMt of tho 13th iu-l.
The first week of Congress has passed
without the accomplishment ol any
public business. A few private bills
have been passed in the Senate and in
the House. The representative body
11as devoted the greater part of the
time to talk. The two political parties
in the House have succeeded in creating
a practical dead lock over the Morgan
resolution proposing a joint rule lor the
counting of the Electoral votes, and
the Appropriations committee has re
ported two of the minor Appropria
tions bills. So much for the first week
of the session. It may be that tlte
House will succeed during the Legisla
tive session, which begins today, in
escaping from the tangle caused by the
action of Republican joint caucus on
the Morgan resolution. 1 o fight or not
to fight, is the question presented to the
Democrats, and at present it looks very
much as though no battle would occur.
It is probable that a caucus will be nec
essary to ascertain the sentiment of the
Democratic members regarding the
Morgan resolution. If they are to in
sist upon their rights as a majority to
decide what legislation shall be had,
concerted and harmonious action i
neceasarv. If they yield to the demand
of the Republicans that the Morgan
resolution be thrown in tho waste bas
ket, they will undoubtedly desire to
back down in good form and without
unnecessary debate.
If it were not for the fact that the
present session is such a short one and
the last iw which the Democrats will la
in majority for at least two years, a des
perate figfit would be made on the issue
raised by the Republicans. The fear of
an extra session, for some inexplicable
reason, also seems to be strong upon
the Democrats. Another argument
which many Democrats are using as an
excu-e for avoiding a political contest
now is the amount of important public
business, which is of greater moment to
Democratic interests than a fight upon
a question which possesses no immedi
ate : mportance. Mr. Atkins will en
deavor to-day to call up the Fortifica
tions Appropriation bill and pass it.
The Military Academy and Pension
bills will be ready for action as soon as
the Fortifications bill is disposed of.
The Refunding bill will then come up
to contest precedence with the Morgan
resolution which Judge lbcknell desires
to press for immediate action. As the
resolution has been decided to be a
question of privilege it will take prece
denceof the Refunding bill and another
dreary debate or tedious spell of fili
bustering may be anticipated.
Mr. Atkins, Mr. Blount and other
members of the Appropriation commit
tee said yesterday that they are not dis
posed to yield to this debate much
longer. They say that the Republicans
are determined, and there is no use
fighting over it. They will, therefore,
this week, demand that some of the
appropriation bills be taken up. They
have no doubt that they can carry their
point, because the Republicans will vote
with them in a body to take up the
• public business. The motion to adjourn
j over from Friday last until Monday was
i made by Mr. Blount, a member of the
> Appropriation committee, and he resist
j ed all appeals for a Saturday session for
debate only. In this resistance he
j voiced tho sentiment# of not only In
committee, but of other members who
! take no stock in the pending debate
| and who would like to have it stopped
I because they regard it*, continuance
only as a waste of time which might be
better employed.
Taking the past week as a criterion,
the outlook is not promising for a bust
j ness session. Members of both parties
doubt whether much will be accom
plished other than the passage of the
appropriation bills, and perhaps a fund
ing bill. Mr, Cox, the chairman of the
Census Committee, will bring up the
apportionment bill as soon as he can
get the necessary returns from the cen
sus office. Some of the Republicans
thought they could make a point by de
laying the apportionment until after
they could investigate alleged intimi
dation and bulldo/.ing in the South.
But good lawyers in their party, like
| Mr. Robinson, of Massachusetts, and
i Mr. Frye, of Maine, have convinced
j their political brethren that individual
j intimidation amounts to nothing in the
matter of representation, and that to
reduce the number of representatives
in a State they must show that the free
will of the people was affected by the
State law, anil not by individual action.
The ouly point will be whether the
Democratic Congress shall make the ap
portionment. If tlie Republicans de
termine to resort to obstructive meas
ures they can delay action until they
get possession of the House in the next
Congress. The people who will oppose
the apportionment at this Ression are
those who want an extra session of Con
gress.
To day the States and Territories will
be called as usual for bills for reference,
after which there must be a call of com
mittees for report, unless two thirds of
the members shall decide otherwise.
Motions to suspend the rules cannot he
made except upon the first and third
Mondays of ettch month; so that after
tho call of comipittees shall have been
completed, general business will bo in
order. The appropriation committee
cap at once test their strength, if they
are disposed to do so, by calling up one
of the appropriation bills reported, and
considering it to the exclusion of the
debate on the joint-rule. The rule is a
privileged question, but a majority of
the House can decide, as they did on
Friday, whether they will consider it or
not. There is no higher privilege than
that of the right of a member to his
seat, and yet it has been decided time
and time again that a majority of the
House could determine whether they
would take up a contested election case.
The majority can therefore stop ihe
debate <lll the joint rule whenever it
chooses to do so.
Not a few of the Democrats are high
ly indignant at the policy adopted by
the Republicans. Mr. Springer has
opinions which he does not hesitate to
express.
"What are the Democrats going to
do about it ?" asked a Post reporter of
the gentleman from Illinois.
" I don't know," was the reply. " I
can only speak for myself. 1 see 110
other way for our people to do but to
take this resolution in hand, compel an
attendance of our members and puss it.
I don't believe that the Republicans
will filibuster against the action of a
Democratic quorum. II they do they
will find it is a game at which two can
play. If the Republicans will absent
themselves to defeat the Morgan resolu
tion, I, lor one, am willing to absent
myselt next February to prevent the
counting of the electoral votes. They
maintain that the N ice President had
the right to count the votes and declare
the result. I should like to seo that
theory carried out when a quorum of
one of the Houses was absent."
The Post reporter asked if the man
date of the Constitution requiring the
votes to be counted in the presence of
the two Houses did not imply that a
quorum ot the two Houses must he
present to witness the count. He also
asken it to remain away from the ses
sion ol Congress at such a time would
not be a direct violation of the com
mands ol the Constitution.
"So far as that is concerned," said
Mr. Springer, " I am required by the
Constitution to attend the sessions of
the House every day. Whenever I ah
••••lit myself without leave, 1 fail in mv
Constitutional duty. To absent myself
by refusing to vote when the question
of a quorum is raised would in no re
spect be unlawful. Now, there is the
case of Georgia. 1 will not say wheth
er 1 would vote to reject the Electoral
vote of that State, because it was not
cast on the day prescribed by law, or
not. I should tie pleased, however, to
see the Vice President decide, in the
absence of a quorum of the House, that
the vote should he rejected. 1 doubt
if Mr. Wheeler dare take such a re
sponsibility. It manifestly belongs to
tin' two Houses of Congress. There is
no doubt of (ieneral Garfield's election.
Every one concedes that. The rule we
propose to enact does not apply to the
present case. 1, for one, however, shall
not willingly consent lo allow ihe Re
publicans to put an interpretation upon
tho Constitution which will enable
Chester A. Arthur to elect a President
•it the United States.

rescced.
Carhiei, December 10.— A great ex
tilosinn occurred this morning at 1.40 at
the Pcnygraig new colliery in the
Rhondda Valley. It is believed that 87
persons have perished. An exploring
party has just discovered Pi corpses.
The search is impeded by after damp
and del ris. The pit is about half a mile
from the scene of the great explosion in
the Dinos Colliery in the saim- valley on
January 13, 1879, when 58 persons losi
their lives.
New York, December 10.—A London
dispatch says: "The shock of the ex
plosion was felt for miles around, the
earth shaking as if there were an earth
quake. There are also eighteen horses
in the pit, which is 450 yards in depth."
A dispatch from the scene of the
disaster says : "The most intense excite
ment prevails throughout Ihe district.
All the roads and approaches to the
colliery are thronged with waiting men,
women ami children. The cries of the
poor people, whose relatives are impris
oned in the collierv, are heartrending.
Many volunteers offered to join an ex
ploring party, but up tp 9 o'clock no
attempt was made to descend the shaft.
The colliery is owned by Messrs Row
land k Morgans. There is not the
slightest hope of saving ny of the
eighty men and eighteen horses still in
the pit.
London, December 10—5.30 i\m. —It is
now ascertained that eighty six of the
persons who were in the pit at the time
of the explosion are dead. Seven
corpses have been brought up thus far,
(hi t may others have been discovered
and will bo raised this evening.

A Step Towards Clvll-Servlce Reform,
Washington, December 9,—A step in
ihe direction of testing the sincerity of
ihe Republicans in the matter of civil
service reform was taken today by the
presentation in the Senate by Mr. Pen
dleton of a resolution for the appoint
ment of a select committee to examine
into the several branches of the civil
service, with instructions to report at
an early day by bill or otherwise. The
resolution WBS instigated, Mr. Pendle
ton says, by that portion of the Presi
dent's message which refers to reform
in the civil service. Its purpose is to
have the committee direct special atten
tion to the matters of appointments to,
promotions in ami removals from office;
of the relations of members of Congress
with their constituents in respect to pa
tronage, and of the freedom of official
subordinates to refuse all detnandaupon
their salaries for political j urposes. It
may he expected that obstacles will he
put in the way of the adoption of any
recommendations the committee may
make, hut there is little doubt that with
proper management the subject of civil
service reform may be brought before
Congress this winter, and if nothing
else should be accomplished, the sense
of the two parties may be had fully and
explicitly.
A Terrible (Time.
A VOI'NO MOTHER ANIt IIEIt HAIIES LNMER
CIHI.LV IILTCIIEREII IIV NEGROES.
Charleston, 8. C., December 12. De
tails of the murder of Mrs. Kennedy in
I Clarendon county and the subsequent
j lynching of the three murderers have
been received here. Last Sunday Mr.
Thomas Kennedy, living near Salem,
intending to visit Charleston, went over
to his father's house, a short distance
from his own house, to ask his mother
to stav with his wife during his absence.
Mr. Kennedy's wife was formerly Miss
Ada Wright, of Darlington, and had
only been married about a year. She
was a young lady of only nineteen or
twenty years of age, intelligent, refined
and highly respected. When her hus
band left she shut the door and sat by
a window to write a letter to her moth
er, little dreaming of the terrific fate
that awaited her. As she sat there sfie
saw in the yard Joe Barnes, a colored
boy, about sixteen years old, who had
been employed by Mr. Kennedy the
previous week, and she asked him to
bring her an armful of wood. This hoy
had been induced by two negroes living
near by—Vance I'uniidt and his sister
Julia, aged respectfully eighteen and
fifteen—to hang around the premises,
and when Mr. Kennedy left the place
give the signal to Vance and Julia, who
kept themselves concealed in a thicket.
This couple had heard of Mr. Kennedy's
intention to visit C.'hai leston, and, think
ing that he would have a good deal ol
money in the house, determined to
break in and get it. When Joe turned
to go for the wood he gave the signal
and soon met Yanee coming into the
vard. Vance asked him where Mrs.
Kennedy was, and went immediately to
the window and three times tried to
get in, and each time he was shoved out
by Mrs. Kennedy.
THE Ml RIiER.
Finding that he was determined to
get in she opened the front door, ran
through the yard and was just going
through the gale, when Vance snatched
up a hoe lying in the yard, overtook
her at the gate and knocked her down.
She implored mercy and told him she
would give him all the money she had
if he would only spare her life. He
cursor! her and said, "l'se been waiting
lo kill you a long time,'' and at that
struck her two more blows, in attempt
ing to avert which it is suppo-ed her
hand was broken. Just then Jiiliacame
up witli another hoe and severed her
head. When Mr. Kennedy returned,
about three hours afterward, he found
his wife lying outside the front gate,
mutilated, cold and stiff, her head al
most severed in twain. The entire
cranium was cut off from ear to ear,
leaving the brains scattered around on
the ground. A jury of inquest being
called had rendered a verdict, "murder
in the first degree by unknown aands."
Several colored persons were arrested
on Monday, but no clue to their guilt
being obtained they were promptly re
leased. t'n Tuesday the colored boy,
Joe Barnes, was arrested, lie showed
so much confusion on being questioned
as to his whereabouts on Sunday that
only 11 few questions served to firing out
his full confession, from which the
above account is taken.
TERRIIILE rC.VISIIMEVT METRO OCT.
Vance and Juiia denied having any
thing to do with it, but the clothes
which they wore on Sunday were very
bloody with small particles of brains
upon them. The money and pistol .of
Mr. Kennedy, found in their possession,
were bloody, and on being questioned
about the blood upon their clothes the
woman said she had killed a chicken
and the man said he hail killed some
partridges, n cross-examination the
bloody finger prints on the hoehandle
corresponded precisely with those on
the shawl worn by the woman on the
day of the murder, which circumstance
had as great weight lo convict her as
the testimony of the boy. The horrible
character of the murder awakened in
tense indignation in the neighborhood
and a crowd of 17V0 while men and fifty
colored men assembled to punish the
murderers. A further exanrination es
tablished the truth of the confession of
Barnes. The negroes begged the whites
to permit them to take the prisoners
and burn them alive. This was refused;
hut a vote was taken whether they
should be jailed and await the court or
be lynched. < 'nly twenty-three voted
to awßit the law, and it
to hang them to the tree nearest the
scene of the crime. Halters were ob
tained and fastened to a limb of the
tree, a cart was placed under the limb
and the prisoners ordered to mount.
Just then Joe Barnes begged to be al
lowed to pray, and commenced by say
ing he had never prayed before, and
never expected to pray again. Nothing
was said by either ol the others except
a groan and "Ixird, have mercy," from
Vance. Handkerchiefs being tied over
their faces, the cart was pushed away
and the trio was soon dangling in the
air. Their victim, at the time of the
murder, was enceinte with twins, and
was near her confinement.
