But majority in the House seem
determined to punish the people of
Washington at the expense of the
immense transient population which
makes the capital really what it is.
1t is good place to try experiments
on, such as negro suffrage, &C., but
not q place worthy of being made
decent to live in. Those who have
in session think differently

AS a fit commentary on the resolu-
ton introduced into the House on
Monday, proposing to endorse the
Mexican Republican Loan, 4 resolu-
ton will be offered tomorrow pro-
posing that the United States Co
vernment shall guaranty the bonds
of the Irish republic. A conspicuous
orator hastens to make the most of
the opportunity, and, in addition,
the Fenians, tonight, are to solemnly
resolve and swear that they will hence
forward buy or consume no article of
British manufacture until Ireland is
free.
WASHINGTON, March S-The Ken
tucky delegation, in their interview
and address to the President, to-day,
expressed admiration and confidence
touching his general policy, but COM
planned of the suspension of the writ
of hdbcas co7.puS, the continuation of
the Freedmen's Bureau, and the gar
risoning of the State by the military.
The President, in reply, did not
touch upon these points, but stated
simply that he should take no step
backward in his policy.
To prevent litigation, it is ordered
by Maj. Gen. Augur, commanding
the Department of Washington, that
persons who have acquired title to
real estate and other property sold by
the Government as contiscated shall
not be disturbed by suits in any State
or municipal court, but such suits
shall be brought only III the Federal
courts. In the District of Columbia,
all the courts are Federal courts; but
the Department of Washington in
cludes adjacent parts of Virginia and
the city of Alexandria.

The NEGRO AGAIN. AOn last Thurs
day evening, negro woman, laboring
under great mental excitement, and
accompanied by policeman and
several negro women, entered the
house of Mr.. George r. Rutter, the
President of the Tennessee National
Bank, and demanded of the aged
mother of Mr.. Rutter a child which
she said had been stolen by Il girl
named Lucy, and secreted in the
house. Mrs. Rutter told the woman
that there was no woman named
Lucy in the house, and there had
been no child of that description
there, which enraged the negress,
who used the most insulting epithets
until stopped by the policeman, who,
satisfied that there was some mistake
in the affair, took her off-she still
ra'lhS ana threatening TO DrlnS u
negro guard and "clcan OUT the
house. Yesterday morning, she re-
turned with q squad of negro SOL
diers, commanded by sergeant, who,
together with the negress, used very
abusive and insulting language to the
ladies Of the house, (Mr. Ruttcr
being again absent and then pro-
ceeded to search the house from the
cellar to the garret-even breaking
open q sideboard-to look for the
child; and, not finding it, they left.
MIR. Butter, upon hearing of the ont
rage, proceeded at once to the Blu
reau, where he WAS confronted by the
negro woman, who abused him in the
same manner, and produced Il child
which she said she had found at his
house, where the white people had
whipped the blood ont of it, The
officers at the Bureau, as we are in
formed by Mr.. Ruttcr, seemed to
regret the affair, and, last night, he re-
ceived note from General Runkle,
stating that the sergeant had been
arrested and would be court-martialcd.
Mr.. Rutter states positively that no
negro child of the description was
ever on the place. This is q very
similar case to that wherein Nh. War;
was arrested at the instance of an
other negress, who swore to seeing
the dead body of negro that never
had an existence.
