Letter from Prince William.

GCurrc:pondeucc OF the AIexa dril Ga% etc. J
BRESTsvIGIE, Feb. Q The February term
OF Prince William County Court was held yes
tcrday and day before. There was pretty
general attendance OF the people.
Judge J. W. Moore delivered an address on
the issues Of the day. w. G.. Ralcn, esq. and
Judge Sinclair also spoke. heard that after
| the above gentlemen finished, two Conservative
colored men spoke.
The following cases were tried
Com. vs. IIoor, assault and battery
bot guilty. Clark & Gen. Payne for defendant.
Com. vs.. Bender, (coloredJ petit larceny
verdict guilty and imprisoned 80 days. Clark
for defendant
William Fuel a coorcd man, sentenced six
months ago to 9 months imprisonment in the
county Jail, was released.
An effort was made by Round, Common
wealth Attorney, to get the Court 10 release
Franklin Taylor from Jail. He is confined in
default of giving $1,000 bond to keep the peace.
This is novel move for a Commonwealth s
Attorney especially as Taylor has, it was said,
threatened boldly and openly t. burn all the
property that two gentlemen in the county
own, and to kill them too, IN less than twelve
months. The Court very creditably refused to
entertain such u motion.
The two men, Henderson and Nelson who
are confined on charge OF having entered and
robbed the store Of Davis & Lynn in this
county, made a desperate attempt few nights
ago to break jail by pricing the bars out OF the
jail window, working through the side which
was decayed and pulling out the bricks with
their bands The noise was heard, however,
by w. A. Iansill the jailor, and the pro-
Rrcss Of it arrested.
Mr. Tansl then ironed them, and llcudcr
son with his naked hands snapped one Of the
chains entirely in two pieces
They have since been ironed more securely.
Henderson was married on Tuesday ar
rangcments on that day to rob the store rob.
bed it on Friday night, and was arrested in
day or two afterwards 10 the presence Of his
wife, and n large portion OF the goods We're
found opened on the bed near him. His wife
who is Of respectable parentage and possesses
some beauty is, greatly Mortified ct the conduct
OF her husband, as learn.
Candidates for office are Thick as leaves in
FalIombroSa. One gentleman last Monday
understand was 50 full Of speech that the chair
man of the meeting found great difficulty in
inducing him to simmer down and let off steam
without going through the process of 4 general
explosion, while another in his great cagerress
to speak suffered his coat tails to be nearly torn
from his hcdy in spasmodic efforts to bring
him to 4 sitting position.
There will be genera! convention held here
next Saturday week, the 9th inst, to consider
county matters. make nominations &c.

PERSONAL DEBATES IN CONGRESS- "A large
portion of each days session in Congress has
been taken up of late in personal explanations
and the making up Of Individual records. Yes
terday, in the Senate, Mr. Conkling attacked
MIR. Summers record on Reconstruction, and
Mr.. Stewart, of Nevada, followed it up. The
Democrats took no part in the contest.
MIR. Sumner devoted over an hour 10 recltlng
passages from his speeches and letters to prove
that be has been INCREASINGLY urging equality
before the law for colored people. MIR. Sumner
had claimed to be the author of the section 10
the Reconstruction acts providing for this
equality Mr. Stewart claimed that by the re-
cord and by Senator Wilson's history OF Recon
struction that Mr.. Bingham was the author
Mr. Drake expressed the opinion that the
Senate was degrading itself by this personal dis
oussiop. and being called to the floor by Mr..
Sumner, said he did not mean any particular
Senator had degraded himself, but meant that
the thing was degrading, and SO the matter
ended for the present.
In the House, upon the discussion, about
mileage and the pay OF members, there was
lively time Mr.. Dawes gave MIR. Butler i
lunge for desiring to dispesne with the Capitol
police last year and substitute therefor the
standing army. MIR. Cox, Of New York, ironi-
return from MIR. Butler Mr.. Cox rciolned,
and went in upon Butler again, got ont OF tenn
per, and pegsed away tiercely.
Mr. Butler remarked that he would not at
tempt to answer the dimnutive member from
New York He would refer him 70 the boys
Oh the streets and the organ grinders who were
singing aud playing ''Shoo fly bodder
me" Thus was accompanied by com!ca man
ner and sweep Of the arm that proved to BE
too much for the risib!es Of the auditors.
DR. Cox said Mr.. Butler had tough skin
and could not DC impre sed with any attack up
Oh his character.
Here the Speaker interfered, and the discus,
sion ended.
In the course of the discussion in the Senate,
Mr. Sumner gave history Of the n-idc work.
ings Of the party in caucus, where al rccou-
stluction measures had been prepared. Both
Senators tod good deal ui secret history in
this way, much TO the amusement OF the Demo
cratic side Of the Chamber.
Mr. Thurman said that they had heard
good deal OF history that day. The country
would learn that the great changes which had
taken place in constitutional questions in the
last few years had been effected, not in the
usual legitimate manner, but in secret concIaves
and caucuScs.
