From Washington.

At a meeting of the clerks of the various
departments, which was held at the rooms
of the Interior Department, on the 26th, it
was resolved to mail $4,000 copies of Mr..
Clemens great Union speech, at once, to
different parts of Virginia. The motive is
a hope that its circulation will Operate
favorably in the election for delegates to the
coming convention. The clerks are now
engaged in sending copies to all voters in
the state of Virginia whose names can be
procured from the Census Bureau.
Robert =. Scott, of Virginia, whose name
has been mentioned in connection with the
Cabinet of the incoming administration, has
addressed letter to the House select COM
mittee of thirty three, in which he says he
will never submit to the Chicago platform
doctrine that no more slave territory shall
be acquired. He says the increase of slave
population in the states Will soon demand
more room, and asserts that it must be ac-
ceded to, and says if these demands can be
obtained in the Union we are content to
remain in the Union. If not, we will seek
item out of it..
Ex-President Tyler was present on the
floor of the Senate on the 26th ult., for the
first time since he was President. He was
dressed in the plain attire OF Virginia
farmer, and did not attract any attention
save from those who knew him.
Mr.. Ashmore, member of Congress from
South Carolina, has addressed letter to
Acting Postmaster General King, asking
if be has the right to exercise the franking
privilege, as he has some ten or twelve
hundred documents upon which be does not
feel willing to pay postage, and which docu.
ments would be useless unless he can frank
them. Postmaster King replied that &C.
cordiDg to the theory of the administration
South Carolina was still in the Union, and
hence he has right to frank until the first
Monday in December next. If, however,
he regards South Carolina as out of the
Union it isa question with himself whether
he can consistently exercise that privilege,
the use of which would be an admission that
he does not in his conscience consider that
she is out of the Union, and that be is still
q member of the Congress of the United
States.

tion to this last remark, for the negro seems
to be fond of fine horses yet he will steal
them out and ride them at night unmerci-
fully.
The privileges of the negroes are numer-
ous Unrestricted by the existing patrol,
they go, at night among their, fellows where
they please, from plantation to plantation,
using their masters horses. And on holi-
day occasions Especially on Christmas)
they have grand blow-outs, dinners, balls,
DC. A planter friend of mine told me that
he dined last Christmas, on his plar tation
at Concordia, with fifteen hundred of them.
Speaking of the law of the slave States,
with regard to negroes, it is but fair to sum
it up with the remark that it goes on the
ground that the master has the right to the
serU'ces and not to the person Uf the slave,
and here it diffees utterly from the Roman
Institution. Chastity ispenalty protracted,
wherever the evidence can be got at, as
much SO as for white women; but it is diff.
cult often to prove rape case against
white man.
The negro lies and steals with great
shrewdness. The organ of marvellous in
vention is astonishing. They outlie Jack
Falstaff in ludicrous ingenuity. In fact, on
disputed point you can never believe the
average of them. This is constitutional.
He is insolent on the slightest provocation,
except to his master and family, and brutal
to his fellows. They seem to have no sort
of sympathy, one for the other, but to glory
in opportunities to get each other punished;
and, when trusted with power over each
other, they numerically abuse it. And yet
none are better or kinder nnrses to the sick
whites, none more tender or proud, or fond
of white children; none more devoted to
young masters and mistresses- never~
theless, the devotion is of the brute order.
They appear to have none of the sentiments,
and l am very sure indeed that the man is
very partial observer of the negro, who
thinks that, as an independent race, they
are capable of an elevation which shall erect
worldly monument, or trace civilized
history. Whether or not they shall be
slaves, is another matter, and one about
which 1 have no opinion to express.

ROBERT P. LETCHER, Ex-Governor of
Kentucky, died on Thursday, at Frankfort,
after protracted illness. He was one of
the most prominent public men in our sister
State. He had served in Congress several
terms, was elected Governor in 1910, and
was Minister to Mexico under President
Fillmore. In 1853 be sustained the first
political defeat of his life, being beaten for
Congress, in the Ashland District, by John
G. Breckinridge.
The Historical Magazine has an article
entitled "Two Princes of Wales Visiting
the United States at the Same Time," in
which it shows that, had the will of Henry
VIII. been carried into effect, the line of
Royal succession would have been so
changed that the present Duke of Buckng-
ham would be King of England now, and
his son, the Marquis of Chandos (who Wis
tied this country last summer), would be
Prince of Wales, instead OF Albert Ed
ward. 1t is no less strange that, but for
the law of the Protestant succession, by
which the Catholic members of the Stuart
line were deprived of all rights on account
of their religion, the King of Sardinia,
Victor Emmanuel, would now be King of
England.

DANCE LIGHT, FOR MY HEART LIES
UNDER YOUR FEET, LOVE.

The following lines, by JOHN FREEMAN WAL
LACE are as musical as Apollo's lutte:
"Ah, sweet Kitty Neil, rise up from that wheel,
Your neat little feet will be weary from spin
ing;
Come trip down with me to the sycamore tree,
Half the parish is there, and the dance is
beginning.
The sun is gone down. but the full harvest
Shines ,sweetly and cool on the dew-whitened
While all the air rings with the soft, loving
Each little bird sings in the green-shaded
valley"
With blush and smile, Kitty rose up, the
while,
Her eye in the glass, as she bound her hair,
gancing;
'TiS hard to refuse when young lover sues
So she couldn't but choose to go off to the
dancing.
And now on the green the glad groups are seen,
Each gayhearted lad with a lass of his choos.
And Pat, without fail, leads our sweet Kitty
Somehow, when be asked, she ne er thought
of refusing.
Now, Felix Magee puts his pipes to his knee,
And with flourish SO free sets each couple in
motion;
With cheer and bound the lads patter the
ground
The maids move around just like swans on
the ocean.
Cheeks bright as the rose-feet light as the
does,
Now coyly retiring, now boldly advancing
Search the world all around, from the sky to
the ground,
No SUCH SIGHT CAN BE FOUND AS AN IRISH
LASS DANCING
Sweet Kate who could view your bright eyes
of deep blue,
Beaming humidity through their dark lashes
so mildly.
Your fair-turned arm, heaving breast, rounded
form,
Nor feel his heart warm, and pulses throb
wildly.
Young Pat feels his heart, as hegazes, depart,
Subdued by the smart of such painful yet
sweet love;
The sight leaves his eye, as he cries with
sigh,
"Danceh light, for my heart is under your feet,
lore !'
