22l pounds, was fondling last March

nothing more Of it. Last Friday he
was in Spring Hill, fea!ing as we'll, as
any man present The next day he
was seized with hydroph obiai in all It's
horrors, and tried to bite his mother,
who fortunately made her escape.
Twenty or more meR gathered there
on Sunday, but on account Of his
great power, all were afraid to APP
proach him. He was barred up with
rails and wood, and left to tear him
self to pieces. Mother, father, friends
and neighbors had to stand and see
him die by piecemeal He begged to
be killed, and was continually plead
ing for a pistol to kin himself. All
prayed for his immediate death.
About daylight this prayer was
answered. He became quiet and upon
examination he was found to be dead

WASHINGTON LETTER.

WAsHlNeToN, D. c., December 10, 1880.
It was said of the richest man in
France that when his friends asked
him for his name in their albums, be
invariably wrote it at the top of the
page, lest they should take advan
tage of his kindness and write a
check over it. The House Demo.
Gratis will have to be as careful in
their dealings with Republicans here
after. When the session commenced
last Monday, a kind hearted Demo
crat called up a measure for count
ing the electoral vote. It was sub
stantially the same as that which
under Republican auspices, was EN-
ployed in 1868 and 1872, and con
tanned the provision which the late
Senator Morton insisted was neces
sary to the preservation of the eoun
try, viz that the vote Of no State
should be rejected without the con
ourrenee Of both Houses. Yetevery
Radical from Robson down tu
Conger. assumed at once that there
was something wrong, something
undetermined IN the measure-a de.
sign to count out q duly elected Pres
ident-and fer four days the Demoe
racy Of the House and country have
been roundly abused for the course
they have taken. It is becoming
evident that our Republican legisla-
tors do not believe that Democrats
have any rights which Republicans
are bound 10 respect.
Aside from the debate mentioned
above, the House proceedings have
been unimportsnt and uninteresting.
Indeed, there has been time for little
else than this debate. Four or five
appropriation bills will be ready
for report by Tuesday, and, unless
the Republicans shall insist on pre-
venting action on them by debate
on other subjects, they will be pass
ed and sent to the Senate before the
holiday recess. Hon. Frank Hurd
introduced ten days since a series OF
resolutions, denouncing protection,
but they will not be pushed. All
this session can do on this subject
is to pass Senator Eaton's bill, which
provides for full inquiry into tue
tsrifT by experts and 90 early repOr
to Congress. The refunding bill
covering about 500, 0O0, 900 in FIVE
and six per cent. bonds, payable next
year-will pass without doubt, the
interest on the new bonds being not
more than three per cent.
The Senate has been q more ef-
fectively industrious body 80 far
than the House, having attended
strictly TO business. By a decisive
vote II yesterday indicated a deter
mination not to vote money indis
criminately in private pension bills
The case was one which had consid-
erably appearance Of equity, but the
vote against il was 3S to 10 The
vote was not in any sense political,
