WASHINGTON ITEMS.

james Banks and Charles Howard, two
Alabama ku.klux imprisoned at Albany,
have been pardoned by the President
The Committee of Conference have agreed
to extend the time of the Southern Claims
Commission four years. They have 10000
unheard claims before them. =.
1t is stated that if Congress gets through
with all legitimate business, the President
will yet take his southern tour, as the Execu-
tive session of the Senate will only last about
one week.
Congress has almost entirely ignored the
Credit Mobilier business, and it is understood
that no action will be taken in the case of
Senator Patterson, of New Hampshire, whose
expulsion was recommended by Morrill's com.
mittee.
The report on Senator Pomeroy, of Kan.
sas, exonerates him from the charge of bribery.
The evidence in the investigation leads to the
conclusion that Pomeroy was the victim Of q
conspiracy. The seven thousand dollars
given to York was placed in his hands to de-
liver to J. @. Page and others, of 1ndepen-
dence, to assist in starting National bank,
Pomeroy having borrowed $4,000 of the same
for that purpose. Page has brought suit
against York for the recovery Of the money ;
and the Kansas Legislature has impeached
York for conduct unbecoming member.

MORE COLD WEATHER.

From present indications the spring season
will be quite backward in this latitude. We
have, as yet, had but few pleasant, genial
days this year. Saturday last was cold, blus-
terry and snowy, ending with rain. A great
deal of rain fell on Sunday, too; though in
the afternoon it cleared away, since which
time we have had bright days, but intensely
cold for this section. The ground is frozen,
the wind keen and cutting, and altogether it
is very disagreeable to those usually accus-
toned to warmer temperature at this season
of the year. The farmers complain of the
backwardness of the season, as seriously delay
ing preparations for planting.

the conclusion of which the House voted on
Mr. Sargent's resolution censuring Brooks and
Ames, which was adopted. The subsequent
proceedings consisted in an attempt to censure
all others who have been implicated in the
Credit Mobilier, which resolution was discuss
ed during the afternoon and night, when f.
nally the House decided otherwise, and the
Committee was relieved. And thus has en-:
ded, so far as the House Of Representatives is
concerned, the Credit Mobilier excitement.
The reputed chief offenders receive vote of
censure, while all the others, by the evidence,
equally implicated in the matter of accepting
bribes, (Which is really the offence charged,)
60 unpunished.
In the Senate, on the 2Sth, the credentials
of Mr.. Patterson, of South Carolina and Mr..
Howe of Wisconsin, were presented and laid
on the table. The sundry civil appropriation
bill was discussed. The bill reported by the
committee on elections for a new election in
Louisiana was tabled, thus leaving affairs in
that State in statu quo. The House, in Com
mittee of the Whole on the legislative appro-
priations bill, spent the greater part Of the
day in squabble over the Pacific Railroad
matter, and also on an amendment reported
by the Wilson committee directing the Attor-
ney.G General to bring suit for the disgorging
of the Credit Mobilier plunder The House
has finished all the Senate amendments to
the legislative appropriation bill. The Nor
rill amendment suspending judgments Of the
Court of Claims in cases of disloyalty was
rejected without division. The salary amend
ment was adopted by four majority. 1t gives
to the President $4,000 year to the Chief
Justice of the Supreme Court s10,50O; to the
Justices of the Supreme Court, Cabinet off,
GERS, Vice-President, and Speaker of the
House, $4,000 and to members of Congress,
including those Of the Forty-second Congress,
$500 per year, but abolishes mileage, sta
tionery, and all other allowances. The
amendment withholding the cost of Govern
ment transportation from the Pacific rail-
roads was adopted; also, an amendment di-
rectirg suit fer the restitution of the Credit
Mobilier extortions. The disagreeing votes
have been referred to conference commit
tee, the House conference being Garfield, of
Ohio (who is strongly opposed to the Morrill,
amendmento Butler, of Massachusetts (the
manager of the salary increase); and Ran
dali, Of Pennsylvania.
Congress was occupied most Of the day on
the 3rd with the appropriation bill. The con-
ference committee reported in the evening, and
the recommendations were agreed to. Sala-
ries are fixed as follows: President s25,0O0;
Chief Justice Supreme Court, s1O,5OO; JUS
tices Supreme Court, Cabinet officers, Vice
President and Speaker, 100000; Senators
and members of House Of Representatives,
including present Congress, in lieu of mileage
and all allowances, except actual individual
travelling expenses, $500.

Alabama Matters.
I'm the Supreme Court, at Montgome'

"WhO Burnt ColumbiaG"
We are indebted to Messrs. Walker,
Evans & Cogswell, Charleston, for a copy OF
pamphlet, containing, together with extracts
from dispositions for claimants, the testimony
ofGenerals Sherman and Howard before the
mixed commission on British and American
claims, in Washington, D. G. Persons desir-
ing copy can secure one by forwarding fifty
cents to the publishers. We make the follow
ing extract from the preface:
1.-THE principal object of the publication is
to disseminate widely throughout the South
the statements of those Federal officers, that
the facts may be drawn out and testimony
found to completely rebut the statements put
out by the United States Attorneys, and thus
to vindicate the Southern people,"
Louisiana Matters.
Congress, up to the present writing, is
slow to act upon the Presidents urgent re-
commentator, communicated in special
message, to legislate Louisiana out of the
labyrinth into which the politicians and Office
seekers have plunged the State. The Presi'
dent wishes to be relieved of all responsibility
in the matter; while apparently, Congress
does not wish to assume the risk of "lifting the
veil" in this particular something more
being required than a mere vote of censure'
With the view Of Fastening matters, Governor
McEnry, by the advice, and with the author
ity of the Legislature acting under his auspices,
has issued proclamation calling out the mi
litia, for the purpose, as ostensibly given, of
reinstating the Judges Of the third, fourth
seventh and eighth district courts, deposed by
the Pinchback faction. This will doubtless
hasten matters to crisis, thoug collision OF
arms is not apprehended. By the latest intel
ligence we learn the Senate rejected the House
bill providing for new election (Which was
reall the only correct solution to the difficulty
It is now understood that the Government
will support the Kellogg or Pinchback party,
and any attempt to overthrow it by the Nc
Enry wing will be resisted by the Federal
troops on the ground of preserving peace.
Wheat in California.
1t has been said that the wheat crop Of
California is worth more to that State than its
gold. A six months review of the wheat
trade of that State shows a crop, sold and un-
sold, valued at s24,OOO,OOO, and it is estima-
ted that the next crop. will yield 100000
bushels. The San Francisco Chronicle has an
exhaustive article on this product, claiming

The Supreme Court sustains Mr.. Mclver

UNFORTUNATE OCCURRENCE.

On Tuesday of last week an unfortunate
affair took place on the plantation Of Mr.. ).
T. Lowry, about FIVE miles south Of town. 1t
seems that Mr.. Lowrys son, Montague, lad
of about is years of age, who was in posses
sion of small pocket pistol, had proposed to
exchange pistols with Wylie Graham, freed
man living on his fathers farm, and while
in the act of examining their weapons, Mon
tague's, which was in his own hands at the
time, was accidentally discharged, the ball
penetrating Graham's breast, from the effects
of which he died in few minutes. At an
inquest before Coroner ]. R. Wallace, held
soon after the occurrence, the verdict of the
Jury was in accordance with the above facts
viz: "that the said Wylie Graham did die
from wound in the breast by a ball from a
pistol, while in the hands of Montague j.
Lowry, which was mere accident, and no
intention on the part of the said Montague j.
Lowry to hurt or kill"
