FROM WASHINGTON.

The congressional record for the past week
maintains its accustomed dullness. The week
has been mainly spent in the house in contin.
uance of the debate on amending the rules so
as to give the river and harbor bill 10 the COM
mittee on appropriations. Horn of Michigan
got in funny speech on the subject which
was entrenching on Sam Cox's domain as the
only butfoon of the house. who accordingly
came back on Thursday with still funnier
speech IN reply. This the house enjoyed so
much that they postponed the final vote day
to give Horn another chance.
Townsend, of Ill., attracted some attention
on the 10th by proposing an amendment to the
constitution to abolish the electoral college and
vote for presidential candidates direct
Bayard's resolution to delegatenderize the
greenbacks was taken up in the senate on
Tuesday and Beck of Kentucky made speech

of the currency at once to destroy them in
the interest of the bankers.

The Hayden trial, which had been In pro
gress for three or four months at New Haven
Conn, finally came to an end on Monday by
the jury failing to agree. The jury had been
out four days, and during most of the time had
stood eleven Tor acquittal and one for murder
in the second degree. Hayden is the clergy
man who was accused Of the murder of Mary

been suspiciously intimate and who was found
dead under circumstances showing that she
had been murdered. The trial was one of the
most remarkable in our criminal annals

Death Of William HeWes.

Mr.. Hewes was native of England, and on at
tanning his majority came to this country, work.
ing at his trade-mouldcr. He was for some
time foreman Of a large foundry in Chicago, in
which city he married his wife, daughter of
VIM. Mcneil, Of that place. In 1872 he came to
Ottawa taking the foremanship of the Ottawa
Machine Shops and Foundry, which position he
held until, in the crash Of the panic, that nsti-
tuition, then under the management of Geo. II.
n. Cushman, went down. Shortly after wards he
became a member of the firm Of Cook, Hewes
& Duffy operating the same institution as did
still later Hewes e. Duffy, on the retirement Of
Mr.. Cook.
A year or more ago he went to the mountains
of Colorado, seeking relief from the disease that
was eating away his life, but returned some
months ago. in poorer health than ever, to die.
He leaves n wife who is now quite ilD and two
small children; and was buried on Thursday af-
noon, the body being escorted TO the grave by
the A. O. U. W., of which fraternity he was .
member and who during his illness had done all
in their power to relieve him.
Mr. HeweS's death will be a source of regret to
very many, for a fond husband and father,
faithful friend, and an industrious and honest
man, and useful citizen has gone to his grave.

The N. Y. Sun begs to know "What body
of Christians will be first to send missionaries
to convert the Maine preachers to Christian
ity" And though the good men must needs
go with their lives IN their hands, the mission
would be glorious one The Suns statement
of the condition of things down in Maine is,
unfortunately, too true; Apparently the Maine
preachers have gotten themselves a new Cos
pei or new and different version of the old
one, in which the text reads: Blessed are the
warmakers.' With honorable exceptions they
have behaved very much as the priests of Mars
or the Druids would have behaved in the like
case. Instead OF seeking to quench the pub
lie passion, they have fed and famed it, Their
sermons and prayers have been fuel to the fire
Of civil discord No thanks to them that it
has not famed up into disastrous conflagra-
ton. No thanks to them that Maine SHOWS
are not even now REDEEMED with Maine blood"

The Engineering and Mining Journal, after
stating that the production of anthracite coal
for 1879 was 27,s75,O0O tons, and estimating
the area and contents of the anthracite basins
of Pennsylvania, concludes that "under the
present disgracefully wasteful system of MIN,
ing, If the annual consumption of the future
equals only that of last year. our anthracite
coal supply will be entirely exhausted in less
than 100 years" Well, who cares9 BY that
time our Chicago genius will have perfected
his invention to use water as fuel and then
there will be no use for anthracite, Besides,
before all the anthracite is exhausted, even by
the present wasteful system, most of the pres
ent population of the world that depend on it
for heat will be provided for In another quarter
where we are assured the fuel supply will new
er give out.
