washington Letter dec. 2l to Cleveland

Here, In a favored seat grantsd him
by the personal courtesy of th8 men,

of the ex-Canfederacy, Alexander Fl.

seven Confederate comrades.

The Proposed Adjustment.
Tromthe New orleans Picayune, 5th inst.

TFrom the New Orleans Picayune, 9Th inst.J
Gnfaras We have been informed touch
inc fire proposition of adjustment sub
TniEted last night by Mr.. Congressman
Wheeler and accepted by the COnserva-
five cauctls on d vote of 8tO n, appears
IA be In effect very much what me
Conservative members had previously
through u formal resolution IN caucus,
made to- the Congressional COminltGee.
The original proposition was that the
committee should canyass the returns
Of the election of last November and &C.
eide uDon les results; they, tthe on-
servatsyes) pIedging themselves TO
abide by the decision. And thlsls what
Mr.. Wheeler, of the committee, now re-
c~inr0caIly proposes to the Conservatives.
we approved the plan as IL WAS brst
nr0nOeed BY the Conservative caucus,
and cannot see that anything has since
hannened To change its character or In
vaiidate its title to public approval.
There IA no sort Of a question as to U
havinr b clear majority in the lower
House of the Legislature, and, we are
very sure, quite as little doubt that Mf,
Wheeler will deal with us honOraDly
and fairly i'm his arbitration. a majority
Of the gentlemen chosen to represeng
u people are of this opinion, az all
events, and il lis only due them 70 pre-
suTne that they are acting III good faiGn
and with intelligent loyalty 10 the truest
interest DE their constituents. We Iake
Il for granted, they hold that, asregaTds
fine issue az the 9TH January, there Is no
compromises of principle involved IN Zee
snnsng the attitude from which they
were On that day, forced by the bayonets
Of Grants soldiery. And we have little
hesitation In sn~netioning this view OF
the matter, and advocating Its pFactleal
realiZation. Tt does not appear that this
nronpsition of Mr.. WheeIeE's involves
an abandonment of our position as re-
cards the election of 1872. nor tha6 ~
will comnei any more explicit acqulesc-
ence ia the Kellogg Governments IMAM
we have been yielding for the last two
vears-no more than is expressed I'D tle
payment of taxes, the obedience { Q the
laws. the acceptance Of kellogg's Gre
dentials % Congress, or his commission
ia municipal on parOchiai ONCE, and
finally. than was voluntarily yielded last
falI In responding to Kelloggs electlon
proclamation and in claiming the resuiIs
Of that election.
We cannot undertake, OF course, 10
predict the exact result of this Plan ~
regards the reorganization Of the Rouse.
RnE tie general features of the plan,
however. contain Il solution OF tle pres
ent. difficulty which will be eTedasaDie
n ourselves and conducive TO all cur
material and political interests.

CAPITAL PUNIsHMENT.-About 1907 a
poor woman with two children, al
the breast, stole from inside a shop door
a piece of linen worth sOHle seven OF
eight sllillfngs. She, however, had~not
proceeded far when she repented of her
crime, and was returning TO the shop
with IL when she was arrested. She
was tried at the Old Bailey, convicted
and condemned to death. The jury and
the prosecutor unanimously recon-
mended the woman to mercy, IN ac-
count of her husband having been pres
sed as q sailor, her starving condition
at the time, and her previous uIblem-
ished character. But all in vain. The
Judge refused to indorse the application,
and the woman was executed at Iy-
burn, the child being taken from her
breast at the foot of the gaIl0Ws. In
tile minds of q large majority OF the
public this execution created great IN
dignation, and a bill was brought into
Parliament to abolish the punishment
of death for stealing in q shop to the
value or FIVE shillings. This bill was at
first thrown Ont in the House OF Peers,
theiuages being against it. The bill
subsequently, passed into law. On the
introduction into the House of Lords
of d bill for the abolition of the punish
ishmaent of death for stealing in q dwell
ing-hoase to the value of forty shillings,
the majority DC the judges were against
it. Lord marlborough was particularly
energetic in his opposition, arguing that
as the law stood ii worked well, and
why, then, should it be altered9 One
of the peers was SO struck with the
validity OF the learned Lords argu-
ments chat he said !" We shall not be
able To place our heads with safety on
our pillows IL that bill passes into law g
for ofenses against the bank act alone,
six hundred and twenty nine men were
c~apitally convicted and one thousand
d hundred and sixty-one were trans
ported yet, til public opinion became
too strong to be disregaTded, the judges
offered little opposition TO such afro
cious cruelty.-SaturdaT Journal.

MALLRABLEG LAss-THE SECRET DIS
CoyERED.-After all the labor and mon
ey that have been expended in futile
efforts to discover some process whereby
glass can be made malleable, it is al
most startling to be informed that the
secret has been found at last: and yet
there seems little reason to doubt the
brief statement of the fact now in cir
cufation that a Frenchman named De
la Bastie, who has spent nearlys six years
in experimenting, in connection with a
learned chemist, has solved the problem
which has occupied the attention of the
scientific mind In all ages. The glass
produced by him is said to be as NAL
leable rs copper or iron, and SO capable
of resisting the action of heat that it can
be used for frying pans and all manner
of kitchen utensils, as well as for lamp
chimneys, without risk OF fracture. No
particulars that can In any way throw
any light upon the process OF manufac-
tuTe have thus far been given to the
world, nor are any likely to be given
until Mr.. Bastie and those associated
with him, have secured something of
the golden reward which awaits the dis
cOverer of so valuable an achievement
of art. Tiberius, of Rome, we are told,
ordered the execution of the supposed
magician who produced before him a
glass vase which, when bent by a fall,
could be Strengthened by a hammer.
But the world is wiser to-day, and if
Mr.. Bastile has really revived the lost
art of the unfortunate Roman exhibitor,
it will not only richly repay him for his
labor, but will also hold him one of the
greatest b~enefactors of the race.

Last Saturday nearly all the young
(unmarried) men, and many others not
of that class, left Opelousas for New
Orleans, to attend the mardi-gras fes-
tiyities that are not to come off. The
force DC habit is SO strong, that at this
d they are bound to go, whether
they 20 for anything or know what they
go for or not. Sunday was q beautiful
clear day, and the town seemed deserted.
In order that any passing stranger might
not think it was really deserted, and
proceed to take possession OF 1t as treas
are trope, several OF the married class
came together, and marched through
the principal streets all during the af-
ternooi, as q guard and to keepthe town
from looking so dead-like.

Mr. S. TEL. Saunders, a merchant at
Prud'homme City in this parish, died
suddenly last Sunday morning. His
health had not been good for sometime,
and he had just returned from New Or
leans two days before, and was exposed
to the bad weather. During Saturday
night be was up several times, waiting
on persons who called at his store. In
the morning his wife left him in bed,
and afterwards hearing a noise in the
room, went back and found him dying.
Mr.. Saunders came here from Texas,
just after the war, and kept store for
awhile in 0pelousas.
