for explanations why the Harwichers treat

FROM WASHINGTON.
Matters at the Capitol

WASHINGTON, Dec ll.-Neither the Sen.
ate nor the House Of Representatives was in
session to-day, the former having adjourned
until Monday and the latter until Tuesday
next
BY an adjournment over Monday the Demo-
Gratis have escaped all necessity tor watching
the call Of States, which makes part of the
order OF business on Monday, and under which
bills and joint resolutions for reference only
may be introduced by any member. It was
considered that the committees should be or.
ganizcd before any business was introduced for
reference to them.
The first legislation Of Congress will almost
certainly be the repeal Of that portion of the
postal law by which postage was raised on GER
tain third class matter from one to two cents
The increase grew out Of slip of the pen, and
the reduction will be made before Christmas
VIRGINIA HAS ONLY HER FAIR SHARE
There is much dissatisfaction expressed that
so many offices have been given to Texas and
Virginia, but by an active count of all the offices
10 the gift of the House, it is not believed that
the appointments from Virginia are in excess
OF the proportion Of her representatives to that
of the Democratic members of the House
Mr.. Lamar having declined, it is believed
that Mr.. Harris, of Virginia, will be chairman
OF the elections committee.
Two of the other committees Of the House
will have Virginia Representatives as chair
men, but it is certain that at this writing, Mr..
Kerr has not yet announced his decision as to
who shall ill them.
TIE HOUSE PosToFFICE.
The Washington Critic of this afternoon
says: One of the objects of the Democratic
caucus, to be held at = p. ~, next Monday, it
is stated, is to consider the manner in which
the new Postmaster Of the House has disposed
of the Offices under him. The fact that he has
made all except one Of his selections from the
State OF Virginia appears to be very unsatis-
factory, aud it is probable that an attempt will
be made to have made redistribution of these
places. (rhis, however, is merely one of the
idle rumors Of the hour.)

The Southern express train due here about

ankle, his head cut and shoulders bruised.
When first seen by the engineer, Mr.. Riley, he
was walking on the track and the slguaI was
sounded, but before he got off the engine
struck him. He is believed to be partly in
sane, as he stated that he was picking up eggs
on the track. He stated few days since that
he was from Frederick sburg, Va, but his wife
and children live 10 this city. The train mcn
brought him to the Baltimore and Potomac
depot, and the officers of the road sent him to

BENT0N'S FRENCH SoN-IN-LAV-
Release of Baron BOilea't, Who '0os Ruined
A.. ,di By John 0. Fremont. '"'ilI T.
Paris Correspondence y. Y, Tines.l

am happy to say that Baron Gaul-
dree-Boileau has been pardoned by Mar
shal de MacMahon, released from prison
and rehabilitated completely. 1t may be
remembered that he was included in the
condemnations pronounced against the
authors of the Transcontinental fraud,
or the affair Of the Memphis.and Ell Paso
Railway, and sentenced to two years I'M
prisonment. defended the Baron very
warmly at the time, for saw clearly
that he was the victim Of this gigantic
fraud, rather than an agent in it, lie
was sacrificed by his brother-in-law,
Fremont, who might, l believe, though
| do not feel quite sure upon this point,
have saved him if he had been so dis
posed. Baron Boileau married Miss
Benton, who had dowry amounting to
100000 francs, which was in the hands
of Fremont 1t was not paid until this
Memphis and Ell Paso loan was put upon
the market, when Fremont handed over
the sum, and intrusted his brother-ln-
law with some business relating to the
Company. He retired from 1t immedl-
ately, however, and had nothing to do
with it when the crisis came. No sooner
had Baron Boileau heard of the prosecu-
tions, and learned that the dowry Of his
wife had been paid him out of the sums
snhscribed bv French bondholders, than
he came at once to France and gave up
the money. Such an instance of pro-
bity should have been recognized, but
while the Judge complimented Baron
Boileau highly, it seemed to have no et-
feet upon his case, and he was condemn
ed with the rest This was judicial
error which had the saddest Of conse-
ouences, for it soon carried Nine. Gaul-
dree- -Boileau to the grave. She died
while her husband was in prison.
Scarcely had she been placed in the
tomb before came q change in public
feeling, and then followed that, usual So
Der second-thought upon the aBarons
case. He was found, on inquiry, to be
the victim of this great swindle, worthy
of the most sympathy. and efforts were
made to procure his release. No great
efforts were required, however, for the
Government was only too ready to act
upon the first petition. No sooner was
he released than he demanded a retrac-
ton from the men who had illuminated
him, and he has already had two duels.
In the first he disarmed his adversary,
and told him to pick up his sword to be-
gin again, but as he showed some hesita-
ton, the seconds interfered. The last
duel was fought with pistols, the Bar0n's
adversary being slightly wounded. Per-
sonally, + was very glad indeed to hear
of Baron Boileau's rehabilitation, but
| should have said nothing about it now
had l not used some rather strong ex-
pressions of sympathy for him in my
comments upon the Transcontinental
affair. p" IIH.5l ui oIh mi".

A UHLAN OFFICER AND HIS BE-
..a. ui TRO1HED. "7N'r.

A Hungarian journal, the Lloyd, of
Pesth, relates what it very justly calls
"strange incident which has just hap
pened to Count Eulenburg, chef-d'esca-
dron in the Uhlans ofthe Prussian guard,
and cousin of the Minister of the Inte-
rior, who is betrothed to Mile. de Bis
marck. "This youngand brilliant officer
(says the Pesth paper was not long ago
engaged to be married to the daughter of
M. Schefer (the proprietor of the jour
nal the Bazaar), a young lady as beauti-
full as she is distinguished, and who is re-
ceived in the best society cf Berlin. He
made the usual request to the military
authorities to be permitted to marry, all
the conditions required by the law being
fulfilled. But some days after he re-
ceiyed visit from two officers of his
regiment, who explained to him that the
traditions of the guard did not permit an
officer of that corps to marry a woman
who was not Of noble family. The Count
replied by challenge to fight but he
was obliged by the rules to ask permls-
sion from his Colonel, Baron de Alven-
sleben. The latter spoke to the Count,
pointed out to him that the two officers
were in the right, that they were merely
Representatives Of the corps, who could
not tolerate that one Of their number
should marry the daughter of a former
bookbinder. Such, in fact, had been the
first occupation of M, Sch@fer, who has
since acquired by the most honorable
means a fortune, and has had two sons
officers in the Prussian army, one Of
whom was killed at Sadowsa and the
other at Sedan. Count Eulenburg re-
garded the declaration no doubt that
Mile. Scheffer was unworthy to marry
an officer Of the guard as an insult to his
betrothed; and he sent d challenge 70
Baron de Alvensleben, who refused to
fight, and who has Just had the Count
tried by court martial and sentenced to a
year and halfs imprisonment in afort-
ress for having wished to make private
affair ofthe incident. Liverpool Mercury
