The steamer Durfes went out
last night With q great crowd Of
colorsd passengers on board.
Many of the Southern emigrants
have been waiting several days for
the boat, aud pretty good load Of
them we're ready to take paseage
early il the week. Several boats
have since arrived from the South,
each bringing y greater or less
number to swell the throng, and
yesterday the John A. Scudder ar.
rived with some sixty or seventy
families on board. Arrangements
we're quickly effected. by which
nearly all of these were transferred
with their baggage to the Durfee,

very short. During the afternoon
all those that have been lodged
for some time past in the Christy
Avenue churches took up their
baggage and departed for the
levee. In short space OF time
the approached to the Missouri
river ut the foot Of Pine street vas
covered with the queerest mess Of
old traps that could be scared up
anywhere. It looked a. though
the contents Of forty secondhand
clothing aud furnishing shops had
been picked up by . whirlwind
and spilled over q half acre OF the
levee. And the eiuigrants them

WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON. ID. G., ian. 81, 1879.
A. is well known, after the Resembling

Constitution Like most Of his party, he

scented substitute for Senator Edmunds
resolution. The substitute atfirms the su-
premacy OF the whole Constitution in its
sphere, the rights OF the States, etc, and is,
on the whole, readable and sound doctrine
The only great objection to it would apply
to any paper under the circumstances-and
that is, tina, il will lead to intcrminabe
discussion and thus to the neglect OF the
proper business Of congress.
This proper business Of congress, by the
way is To pass the appropriation bills, in

necessary business. hope Democratic
senators will content themselves with voting
and lie, Republicans waste time in the dis.
cussion of the Edmunds resolutions and
