WASHINGTON LETTER.

&c correspondence of the Alexandria Gazette
WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 14-lt one
may judge from the immense numbers of peo-
pie, who daily coDgregate at the Capitol, there
must, indeed, be a stagna.ion in all branches
OF business, and one may we'll understand why
agricultural pursuits languish, when whole bat
talions of able-bodled men preterto3 lounge
about the public bulldogs rather than"!go to
digging" for a livelihood, and by which they
would become free and Independent"
The number Of applications for positions, in
the gift Of the House of Representatives, has
fallen off but little, aud no place is so humble
that there arc not from dozen to one hun
dred applicants therefor negro men will, with
avidity, take 'oficc" at S. per month and
find themselves, rather than 60 to work at
twice and three times that amount, and be pro-
Vided with food aud shelter. How they live
on their salaries is mystery, except to the
iniated.
To-day was busy one in the House. Bills
poured in from all sides, and among them very
many from Virginia.
MIR. Hupton introduced bill, which was
passed. tor the removal of the political disa-
biIities of Mr.. Samuel Cooper, OF Fairfax coun-
ty, and Mr.. Douglas bad passed bill remov-
log the disabilities of COL Robert TancI, OF
Manassas formerly of the Marine Corps of the
old United States Army. No objection was
made to the passage of these bills.
MIR. Frost, Radical, from Massachusetts,,
whose seat is contested, for political capital
TO- day introduced a resolution iu the House,
declaring that all the Offices, 10 the gift Of the
House, should be given to disabled Uoou SOL
| diers, but Mr.. Cox, OF New York, ever on the
alert, Immediately ''coppered" the gentleman
jack, by a substitute, that the Offices should be
distributed among the people of the country,

with composure and grace, always turning
away wrath by kind answer.

The present distinctive poiot at issue be-
tween the United States and Spain is stated in
non-oficial, but usually we'll informed circles as
follows: The United States ask First, that
10 future all American citizens 10 Cuba accused
OF violation of law shall be tried by the civil
courts and not by military tribunals, with all
the rights Ia such Gases as are secured By the
seventh article OF the treaty OF 1875; and sec
oud, that all sentences where American clti-
zcns have heretofore been tried by military
tribunals shall be annulled. Spain in some de-
gree comedies the claim of the United States
to the first proposition, agreeing that in future
American citlzens accused of violation Of law
shall be tried by tie ordinary tribunals, with
the right to be heard by COUNSEL to summon
witnesses, and to employ all other necessary
safeguards to the accused, but with the reser-
walton that all such trials shall be according to
the law Of 1921, which provides for more ex-
peditious proceedings than those of the civil
courts, for common crimes, 10 time of peace.
She also offers to revise all sentences passed by
courts martial on American citizens, When it
shall be satisfactorily shown that such sentences
were in violation of established law.

There is now proposed new system Of heat

the heat generated during the exclamation of
limestone, this being made to heat air or water,
which is then passed into buildings to be heat
ed through the usual. system of distributing
pipes, while the sale of the lime produced 10

HOW EMANUEL AND MARY BLACK SOUGHT
THE LAWS REDRESS, AND now THEY
GOT 1T.
On the fourth of March last Constable
Pritchett went to the house of Emanuel
, Black, on Lombard street, near Six I'll,
Tor tho purpose of making levy on
MS EoOus, Oh dcu .uat',f uCn-Ds.y.ac,N
OF rent. In response 10 knock, the
door was opened q few inches, but
when the officer stepped in he was
violently squeezed and thrust out by
Emanuel, his wife, and another party
who were inside. For this offence a
warrant was issued for the arrest Of
the three offenders, but they made
themselves so exceedingly scarce that
the warrant could not be served. -
On the 4th of May Constable Truitt
| went to the same house, and succeed
ded Ia getting in and making levy
on the goods. He afterwar DIS parleydd
with Emanuel and his wife, day after
day, with the desire to get peaceable
possession of the goods, but finding
that they would not allow him to quiet.
y enter the house he determined 10
enter by force. On Wednesday accom-.
panied by Colstables Ward and Wood
ward, he went down to the house, and
after repeatedly requesting admission,
broke pannel from the door with an
axe. Mary Black then appeared at the
oppening thus made, with an axe in
her hands and threatened instant death
to the first man who attempted to en-.
ter. After little manouvering Mary
was secured, the axe taken from her
the house entered and the goods re.
moved.
The case should have ended here,
but Emanuel and Mary determined to
have little law. So they sued Con.
stable Truitt for forcibly entering their
house. This case was tried before Es-
quire Publ this morning, and after
hearing was dismissed. Constable
Pritchett then pressed his warrant for
assault and the two seekers after the
laws redress were fined SO and costs
each. Constable Truitt preferred
charge against MaryBlack for threaten-
ing his life with an axe, and inierfer-
ing with him while in the dischui gc
of his duty. She was tried, and held
under ~ % bail for appearance 1t
Court. q. >.
Being unable to pay their fines or
give bail, the two Blacks will be com
mittcd to New Castle. where they viii
have ample time to reflect upon the
folly OF their course, and to wish hlit
they had never sought the laws ne.
