WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Mar. s, 1856.
To TIE SOUTH KENTUcKIAN
The Presidents message to the
Senate concerning the controversy
between himself and that body, fell
like bombshell into that quiet and
dignified body. The Democrats
chuckled over it and vengeance
flashed from the eyes of the Repub-
llcans. Senator Edmunds was the
first to condemn it in open session,
and after comparing the President to
the arrogant Charles the. First of
England in presuming, as he expess-
ed it, TO dictate to'the Senate, the
message was on motion of the Sena-
tor, referred TO the Judiciary Com
mittee. This committee, with Sena.
tor Edmunds as its chairman, has
lately fallen into the habit of pigeon
holing all matters not meeting with
the entire approval of the Republi-
can majority, but that course, as
pursued with Objectionable nomina-
tons, will of course not be followed
III the message. In anticipation of
the message being discussed in open
session on Tuesday, the galleries and
corridors were crowded to overflow
ing, and many people turned away
because there was not even standing
room. A number of members of the
lower House even found it conven-
lent on that day to step across the
rotunda to the Senate wing on pub
lie business, but to the disappoint-
ment of all, no report was made and
consequently there was no discussion.
The excitement even now is high
and everybody is on the alert 10
learn when the message will be re-
tcrred back by the committee to the
Senate, and the volumes of Senatorial
eloquence and invcctive roll forth.
The House devoted the whole of
last week, with the exception sof
Monday, the consideration of the
general invalid pension bill. The
members availed themselves of the
opportunity to deliver political
speeches for use in the next State
campaigns. They all declared them
selves as not opposed to the bill, and
devoted the most part ofevry speech
to irrelevant matter-matter good
however for campaign purposes.
An unusually large number of mem
bers Joined in The debate, and at
times majority of the members
were on their feet, and as each
speaker warmed up TO his subject
and made pungent criticisms of the
opposite party and was met with
bristling repariee from the attacked,
he was surrounded by fellow mem
bers who applauded until the specta-
tors in The galleries Joined in, and

THE WEED,
General Tobacco News
THE LOUISVILLE MARKET.


There has been little or no general
change in the tobacco market since
our last report. But on Wednesday
and Thursday the run was principal
ly on common to medium Burnley
Tugs, in good condition, which show
ed an advance of q to Z cent, as also
common to medium Burley filters
showing an advance on rejection of
an average OF q cents to one cent.
On the other hand, fine grades this
week were generally neglected and
showed an offishness of about one
cent per pound, with very light of
ferings. We attribute this to the
past two weeks, having been over
loaded with this class of tobacco.
very much out of condition, that now
has TO be taken care of to meet the
warmer weather soon to be expected.
And pretty general lull in the plug
trade owing to the late cut i'll prices
of 10 a cents per pound by most of
the largest manufacturers in the
United States. This may very soon
be counteracted by an active trade
increased by the lower prices at
which most of the best brands of
plug can now be purchased at.
We are now having the usual dry
weather and winds of MARCH,; the
busiest part of the year with the far
mer; from these causes and the not
very inviting prices of tobacco at
this time, we look for lessened re-
Ncelpts, and the usual hardened of
prices therefrom.

reward offered for the return of the
missing mitIen but without avail.

finder will communicate with him he
(the finder will find him (Mr. H.
open to proper negotiations looking to
the transfer of the missing glove now
in his (Mr. H.'s) possession, to the
finder. This is based on the assump-
iion that the finder has two hands,
and consequently has need Of the re-
naming glove. IL the finder has only
one hand, and that mate for the lost

sliding by Electric Light.

Fully one hundred people were at
the toboggan slide last evening. The
advent of the electric light brought
forth the beauty and youth of Miles to
enjoy the sport. Familiar faces could
be seen and none were more conspicu-
GUS than the leading business men,
among whom were bankers. lawyers,
merchants and ministers, too. Among
the gentlemen who seemed to be favor
ties with the ladies were Bachelor,
Van Doren, Van Gasken and Orschel.
The graceful manner In which Van
embraces the shoulders of the lady
who happens to be occu. ying the seat
In front Is quite beyond description.
Bachelor performs the very pleasant
task Of plotting the treacherous to-
boggan with it's fair rider in a very
commendable style. Van Doren
serves as . good ballast and his SER
vices are always in demand by the
ladies. Toboggan caps were worn by
many, and a number of ull suits have
been ordered.
