WASHINGTON LETTER.

Correspondence of the Alexandria Gazette. ]
WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. l0.-"There' S
life in the old land yet" and there's an end to
'bloody shirt" clap trap, as likewise to MIR.
James 6. Blaine.
To-day the Amnesty bill was taken up, and
failing for want of Constitutional majority,
Mr.. Blaine was enabled to get in his substi'
tute excluding Mr. Jefferson Davis, and upon
it made his anticipated speech, baslng bis OBJ
lection to Mr.. Davis upon what he styled bis
great crime 10 permitting and conuiving at
the cruelty to Federal prisoners at Anderson
Vile. He made, as be can do, on ingenious
speech, composed principally of extracts from
the report of the Congressional Investigating
Committee 90 Southern Outrages," and at
tenn pied 10 this way to harrow up the souls Of
the Radicals, and rekindle as much of the fire
of hatred as possible.
Mr.. Cox of New York, replied, and it is
20 exaggeration to say that bis was one of the
finest efforts heard 10 the House for years. He
showed Mr.. Blaine up in new coors, and
proved that he was not the man that be has
been taken for all this time, and that be is not
the exemplary characteristic embodiment OF
the honesty and uprightness of the Republican
party, that he has been represented to be- but
that for tricks that are dark, and ways that
are mean, he is fully capable. 1t was proved
that he not only, when Speaker, favored am
resty, but was one of its originators when it
suited his purpose, and that fearing to take the
responsibility of relieving Mr.. Davis he had
tried to get negro member to move the eX"
ception, himself keeping mum. MIR. Cox very
plsoly told him that alter his speech OF to-
dag, though he might live thousand years,
he would never be President, and the House
resounded with applause.
Nothing like it has occurred 10 the House
this ST. ssioD, aud the galleries aud door were
crowded with eager listeners, who enjoyed the
discontinue of the ex-Speaher greatly.
Mr.. Cox was particularly happy, and while
he has heretofore enjoyed the esteem of his
side OF the House, aud of the people generally,
bis expose OF MIR. Blaine, and bis viudicatioD
of the people as against the R .dica leaders, to.
dav. placed him a nich higher than he has
vet occupied. His speech was replete With
sound argument, genuine wit, aud biting sar.
casn. Mr. Blaine was placed hors du combat,
and felt most keenly his position.
Mr.. Kelly, of Pennsylvania, Radical, fol-
lowed MIR. Cox, and avowed himself in favor
of general amnesty.
MIR. Randall, 10 bis parliamentary fight upon
the bill With MIR. Blaine and Mr.. Garfield,
showed that he is master of the situation, and
that he intends to meet out to the Radical side
the measure received by the Democrats in the
last Congress.

ALEXANDRIA, VIRGINIA.
TUESDAY, JANUARY II, 1876.

In the case Of the heirs of Charles s. Wal
ZACH, late of the District OF Columbia, who was
iu the Confederate army during the war, and
whose property was con6scated and bought by
John Van Riswick, and who afterward con.
veyed the same property by deed to Van Ris-
wick, it is now held by the United States Su-
preme Court that after con6scatiou and sale
Waach had no longer any title to convey, and
that bis deed to Vau Riswick passed for moth
ing; that at the death of Wallach his heirs
may come 10 aud redeem, the property pass
ing to them as if it bad not been forfeited.
Also. that the pardon of Wallach did not ope
rate to restore anything which had passed from
the United States by sale.

the war. That was the lenient disposition OF
the Republican party. he regretted that the
gentleman IMr. Blaine would 60 back Oh the
record, But be was candidate for President;
and could do it without fear. lie called upon
the gentlemen on the other side who had voted
for a third term 20 repudate this proposition
of the Presidential candidate from Maine, and
to 90 with Gen. Grant, who was IN favor OF
amnestv. BE was soldier, and not polltl-
clan. lie fought 10 the war, and he never
nronosed this exceptional and partial legilsla-
ton Int he wanted amnesty, full and tree.
Gen,lemen on the other side have tainted US
with being the ex-Confederate Congress. And
10 create false sentiment they have sent
hroadcasr over the country SANDER that no
Union soldier had been retained by the House.
The truth is that they have appointed more IN
nronortion than the Republican House did.
The proof of this was ample. And yet IN
snite of this and other matters the gentleman
from Maine, in this year of jubilee, makes an
outrageous and vindictve speech. And that
sneecb will defeat him for the Presidency.
Mr.. Cox closed with an eloquent appeal for
general amnesty and forgiveness in this Centen-
Mr.. Kelley, of Pennsylvania, said he had
voted for MIR. Randars bill, and not to haVe;
done so would have been to violate all his old
and well-setted convictions. He appealed to
the Republicans to vote for amnesty, general
and universal. Applause % the Democratic
side His service was longer than others. he
was here during the war, and while The war
lasted he voted for the most extreme measures
After the war he would have read With joy
that Jefferson Davis had gone to sour apple
tree. He never thought him lovely charac-
Ter, and did not speak for him. The report
that Mr.. Blaine read was made in 1867. Davis
was then prisoner, and such men as Greeley
went his bail. Why did we not punish him
then We had him. When Wirz was hung
the country knew of these charges against
Davis and yet he was not touched Ii we re-
fuse him amnesty now the world will say why
did you let him ruo teu years and punish bin
at this late day? Foreigners will believe that
be is so powerful for evil that we dare not am
nesty him. We have admitted the Vice Presl-
dent of the Confederaoy, and are you going to
announce that JEFF Davis is so much more
powerful that you dare not free him OF his dis
abilities? General amnesty would insure peace
and order, and make the Centennial year no.
BILE one. Let us make it a year OF jubilee, H.
deed, and declare that 10 man stands dlstran-
chised for political crime.

New York merchants, who have been SELL
ing largely to the South within the past six and
nine mouths report collections from all that
quarter as very satisfactory, except from Louisi-
ana, where they are rather backward. There
have been few or no failures of late, except at
New Orleans and Montgomery, Ala, and even
these latter were of but comparatively little &C
count. The people generally have more money
than they have had at any time since the war,
and the indications are, therefore, that the
Southern Influence will soon be favoraby felt

PREsUMPsCOT PARK.
The Stallion Race of Yesterday.

A very uninterestirg horse race came off at
Presumpscot Park yesterday afternoon between
three we'll known stalions-Tom B. Patchen,
King William and Phil Sheridan. Notwith-
standing the rain of late the track was in quite
good condition and the weather was beautiful,
but the crowd was not in attendance. The
trot was not properly advertised through the
ignorance of those having 1t il charge and the
fact that there was to be a race was not gener-
ally known about town. The horse cars did
but small business and but few carriages were
seen on the track Ia point of attendance it
was the simest show of the season. The pool
seller and wheel of fortune man were in at
tendance, but neither of them did much bust
ness. A few pools were sold before the race
began, with Patchen the tavorite, but after he
won the first heat business was dead. The
race was for purse of 5000, 1925 to first, $50
to second. $25 to third.
First Heat-But little time was spent in scor-
ing and there was general disposition on the
part of the drivers to get fair start King
William drew the pole and Sheridan second,
but on the first turn, after getting the word,
Sheridan gained the pole with Patchen at his
wheel and William toook the third position.
They trotted half mile in just this position,
but the last half changed the programme. On
the back side Sheridan left his feet and before
he could regain them Patchen had the pole and
was making good time for the home stretch.
Phil trailed on after him with William in the
rear, and on the home stretch gave Patchen a
hard rub. Phil broke again, however, just be-
fore reaching the wire, and Patchen won in
2.35, with Sheridan second and William third
Second Heat-A little disposition was shown
to jockey in this heat, but the judges sent them
off after scoring a few times Patchen had the
pole on the start and Phil the second position
with William in the rear again. On the last
quarter Phil broke and fell behind, letting
William into the second position. This was
the only contest in the heat for Patchen won
easily in 80
Third Heat-Mr. Bracket was behind Phil
Sheridan when the horses were called for this
heat and some were foolish enough to think
that he was going to make this horse trot bet
ter than his owner Mr.. Irish had done, but
such was not the case. The horse wasn't trot-
ting yesterday and that is all there is about it.
Patchen got the lead on the start and held it
throughout the heat, winning easy in 287.
Sheridan broke in his usual place on the last
quarter and William came up and took the
second position.
Patchen got first money, King William Sec
ond and Phil Sheridan third. Appended is
the
