WASHINGTON Cry.


WASHINGTON Cry,
SUNDAY AFTERNOON, Dec q, 1919. {
The wings were first entrapped into the election
of Speaker by plurality yesterday and then sur
rendered it after the first vote. They even could
have carried motion to adjourn prior to that voter
but they were very sanguine of eventual success
after it, and therefore agreed to let II 90. The
factis, they wanted the message, and also their
Christmas money, and consequently, must have a
Speaker at any rate.
1t is now said that the wings will move to elect
the committees by the House, or two or three OF
the principal ones, at least, as a last chance.
The democrats will probably contest it for all
the officers
Except the reading of the Presidents Message.
tomorrow, nothing further Is expectedto be done
till after Christmas
The tremendous excitement which has grown
up in consequence of the three weeks difficulty in
the House, has almost entirely subsidized, and the
late fears of dissolution of the Union, have given
way TO prospect of business.
Old lacks Message is said to be strongly con-.
servatlye.

MARRIAGE OF MAD'LLE TEDEsco.-Some time
ago, we announced in our columns that the beau.
tlful prima donna, Mad'e Tedesco, had made
matrimonial match with a rich and wealthy person
from Central America, by the name OF Joseph
Thomas. 1t was also stated that Thomas had set.
tied several thousand dollars On the father of Te-
desco, and that he was preparing TO depart from
this country 10 England, as Charge a. Il flares from
Guatemala, or some other State in Central America
taking his young wife with HIM, to visit the old
world
Within the last few days, we have learned from
undoubted authority, that Tedesco has been made
a dupe of ia this affair, by one of the greatest
pieces Of knavery that the human mind could con-
ceiye. This man Thomas is, we believe, native
Of Nicaragua, in Central America, and was one of
four brothers engaged in trade there, whose father
left them small property, probably not more than
ioIty or fifty thousand dollars, to the whole. Jo-
scph, OF the brothers, having spent his portion
OF Lac property arrived in this city some time last
spring or summer, and engaged very expensive and
elegant apartments in the Astor House. He be-
cane, also, subscriber for one share In the canal
company organized in this city, for uniting the
Atlantic and Pacific oceans. through the State of
Nicaragua. Singular to relate, he paid the first
lhSlaliltIi, III 10 sulIOstC HlOucy was
procured by deception, from the unfortunate Tedes-
co. He got acquainted with the lady, represented
himself as being man of immense wealth and
resources, that he was about going to Europe
Charge, winding up with the offer of his hand and
fortune, with settlement Of $4,000 year on
her father, il she would consent After some time,
Tedesco consented. They were married by one
Of the Catholic clergymen Of this city, in the pre-
sence of Witnesses, among whom were Madame
Pico and Signor Vietti, well known in operate
circles. DURING the honeymoon, Sigaor Thomas
conirived 10 get from his wife all the little
progeny th~t .i.s had saved from her earnings
during the last few years Everything was paid
out of those funds, Thomas wondering at the
same time that his own immense funds did not
rsach him from Nicaragua. At the end of four or
FIVE weeks, he procured from Tedesco consider
able sum, representing that he was going to Wash
irgton for special purpose and that is the last
she has seen Of him. he having taken his departure
in the last steamship for Chagres, TO reach Nicara
qua, and even gone far to deny TO variouspe per-
sons, before he went away, that he was married
to The unhappy Tedesco at all.
These facts, we believe, are substantially au-
ihentc, and we have been authorized to publish
Them for the purpose OF setting at rest the rumors
and su1mises about the lady In question. A more
cold hearted piece Of yilany never was perpeiraied,
Than what isIs man Thomas has accomplished
towards the unfortunate Tedesco.

AFFAIRS IN OTreoS.-The Oregon territory
seems to be progressing very rapidly towards
greatness, wealth and population. The people
have sent delegate TO Washington, and, for the
fret time, that distan, territory will be represented
ia the Congress Of the United States. There is
nothing TO prevent oregon from becoming the
mos, wealthy State in the conf deracy. Its agrl.
cultural resources are nexhausiIble Its forests
are f Of the finest timber for numbering purposes,
and ne streams abound with ish. 1t does not,
like California, contain precious metals TO any
extent; but there is mine Of coal at Vancouver's
Island, which " admirably well calculated for
purposes of steam navigation, and which adds to as
wealth as much, perhaps, gold would The
value Of this article, IN such situation, and to
country possessed Of such resources, cannol be
over-esiImated. From preseat appearances, Ore
CON will GET great portion Of the gold Of Calfor-
mia, in exchange for It's agricultural productions
the latter country being admitted, on all hands, TO
be badly adapted to farming. This new territory
ought TO be relieved Of some debts which are now
pressing upon her, and rciardIng her progress
She has paid some two hundred thousand dollars
to the lndiens, which Congress must assume aud
refund at the earliest opportunity. This is too
great a sum for this territory to pey out Of it's
own small resources, and we hope that the matter
Will be acted upon by Congress as soon as possible.

pRooREss or CONSTITUTIONAL REFORM IN hgS-
ruckY--Thc kentucky State Convention for the
Reconstruction aud reorganization OF the constl.
tuition, hes been in session for some time past, and
the prospect il that the amended constitution
which wi! come from their hands, will be accepta-
bic 10 the citizens Of that State and will be ratified
10y them in due form. Many improvements have
been made on the old constitution. which are in
keeping with the liberal spJrit Of the age. When
the document il completed il viii resemble the new
constitution of New York in several important
features. IL was thought at one time that the Ga;i
slavery sentiment had made considerable progress
ia Kentucky, aud that some provision might be
made 10 the new constitution for the gradual eman-
CITATION Of all the slaves within the State. This
expectation, however, is no; realized, because a
large proportion Of the members Of the convention
are pro- slavery men, and the committee VINO have
the subject in hand will report adversely TO any in
reference with the institution, few days be fore
the adjournment, in order TO avoid any debate.
This result may be attributed TO the exertions and
Interference Of Northern anti.slavery fanatics, who
have roaded the Southern States almost iato despe-
ration 10y their reckless attacks on them, and on
their Institutions Instead Of benefting the colored
race by their actious citation they have, IN this in
them. There was an ant-slayery sentiment in
Kentucky, Of native growth but 1t has been
crushed by the very men who assume to have the
colured race under their especial charge and keep
ing.

Senate, particularly in the committees, we see the
magic finger of Mr. Calhoun, and we have no doubt
the same traces will be distinguished in the final
organization OF the House. In the crisis which is
upon the country, we have the best reason for
believing that the great statesman Of South Caro-
Ina will occupy one of the most important posi-
lions favorable to the union of the States, on the
same principles which governed the old conven-
ton that produced the constitution, and the Con-
gress that passed the Missouri Compromise. Yet
all these different agitations, and conflicting ques-
tons, which present themselves before both houses,
together with the aspect OF the times lead the mind
10 believe that foundation is laid for complete
disorganlzaton of all the old national parties, as
they have heretofore existed, by national conyen-
tons, looking to another election for the presi-
dency. We believe that the events now in train
IN Congress, and throughout the Union, will bring
about complete dissolution of both the old parties
that have governed the country for the last twenty
five years. and that the presidential contest 1852
will be scrub race, with dozen Of presidential
candidates, Of all kinds and colors, in the field.
In the meantime, the party In power in the gene
raj government have little chance of tolerance by
either house OF Congress. The cabinet of General
Taylor, by their imbecllity and gross violation of
the pledges of that distinguished man, have placed
themselves beyond the pale of sympathy, and
will be treated by the committees, and by the
action OF both houses, even with more contempt
and less forbearance than the administration of
Captain Tyler himself If the wings, as a party,
ever maintain their national existence, or real
ize hope of securing power hereafter they must
change their leading men in the executive depart
ments, and modify their policy in many important
particulars.

The NICARAGUA DIFFIcULTY.-Ou contemporary
of the Washington Union Is anxious to know what
Mr.. Clayton will do in reference to the present
position of affairs in Central America, caused by
the conflict of opinions, views, and almost arms,
between MIR. Squier, the American Charge
and Mr.. Chatfield, the British Minister IN refe-
renee to Tigre island, and other matters. We
rather think we can give the desired information
to our contemporary. Mr.. Clayton has been fur
nished with solution of these difficulties, in the
policy pursued by Mr. Polk in the Oregon question.
Mr.. Polk made great deal of buster and fuss
about fyfour forty, got part of hisfnends in both
houses to back him up on that ground, and, on the
first opportunity, backed down to forty nine. Mr..
Clayton will most likely act likewise, and repu-
date the acts Of Mr.. Squier; and it is highly
probable that Lord Palmerston will do the
same for Mr.. Chatfeld. Neither the American
Secretary of State nor the British Foreign Minis
ter has the pluck to stand up and back the bodness
of their own diplomatists. The two cabinets-Mr.
Clayton on one side OF the Atlantic, and Lord
Palmerston on the other-are very similar in their
tactics, and they have happy model for imitation,
IN ;hs conduct of Mr. Polk and SIR Robert Peel, on
the Oregon boundary. There is not an ounce of
tue courage in either cabinet.

BISHOP HUGHEs, GENERAL TAYLOR, AND THE
HuNaARIANs.-The Freeman's Journal, Bishop
Hughes organ,) talking of the distinguished
Hungarians, who are receiving so many at
tentions in this city, Gays :-"This making
such fuss about European outlaws is con-
temptble in free born Americans; but when it
extends TO the city corporation, and they
squander the public money IN keeping unworthy
persons at the Astor House, it is time for sensible
men to cry out at the abuse" General Taylor
however, 1t seems does not entertain such views
towards those gallant heroes. In his letter to
Governor Uihazi, offering him and his comrades
protection, and free participation in the benefits
of our institutions, he says:--"I am sure that |
but speak the universal sentiments of my country
men, in bidding you and your associates cordial
welcome TO our soil, the natural asylum of the OPP
pressed from every clime.'
The language of Bishop Hughes organ Is GER
tainly very curious, to emanate from bishop Of the
Catholic Church-a disciple and follower of the
meek and lOwly Jesus-towards men who have
been unfortunate in their efforts to secure civil and
religious liberty for their country. 1t ID not cer
tainly very encouraging TO patriots to risk their
lives and sacrifice their fortunes, in obtaining what
the Catholic Church in the United States, in CON-
mon with all other sects of Christians, enjoys.
