[From the message OF
President James Bu-
chanan TO the Thirty
Fifth Congress, Dec. 3,
1851.
"Since the adjourn
ment of the last congress
our constituents have
enjoyed an unusual de-
gree of health. The earth
has yielded her fruits
abundantly and has
bountifully rewarded the
toll of the husbandman.
Our great staples have
c m m an d e d h ig h
prices, and up till
within q brief per-
iod, our manufacturing,
mineral and mechanical
occupations have par
taken of the general
prosperity. We have pos
sessed all the elements
of material wealth In
rich abundance, and yet,
Notwithstanding all these
advantages, our country,
in its monetary inter-
ests,is at the present mo-
ment IN A DEPf.oRABLE

derived from duties on
imports from abroad,
has been greatly re-
duced."

WARSAW, VA, December ls.-(Special.)
Mrs. Ellen CockreI. near Mistiman, North
umberland county. was so badly burned
on Sunday last that she died shortly after.
She was alone at the time. the rest OF
the family being away attending church,
and when summoned they found that the
poor unfortunate woman was so badly
burned that she was unable to tell how
the accident occurred.
About 10 o'clock on Monday last a large
barn situated about three miles from
Millenbeck, Lancaster county, the pro-
perty of Mr.. Charles A. Kaizer and
brother. containing three horses. three
cows, and large quantity OF fodder and
corn, also farming implements. was COM
pletely destroyed by hre. No one at the
dwelling-house. which Is about one hun
dred and fifty yards from the barn, had
retired when the fire was discovered.
Upon reaching the barn the Kaizer
brothers were unable TO save anything,
the fire having assumed such large pro-
portions. The horses and cows had al
ready persisted. The loss is very heavy.
and there is no insurance. The ire is
thought to be the work OF an incendiary.

H. Poindexter VINO was hanged under
the alias of Edward Earle. for the muir
der, at Sageville. Hamilton county, on
October IL, 1881. OF his wife. the mother OF
Mrs. Mason. This daughter was years
OF age at the time Of her fathers exc
cution. She Is now 10 years old, and was
married recently to Mr.. Mason.
Poindexter was member Of a wealthy
Virginia family, but would give no In
formation about the family, saying he did
not wish TO bring disgrace upon his rela-
tives. He made some references to his
early career in a concession, which was
printed and sold from the steps of the
gallows.
Mr.. Mason alleges that when Mr.. Poln-

Andrews he charged him to deliver 1t TO

when she married. In addition, the con-

THE FAYeRWEATHER WILL CASE
An Appeal to Be Taken-What the Law
yera Nav.
(New York Tribune.)

tNeW
The decision of Judge Truax overthrow
ing the deed Of gift In the Fayerweather
will has not put an end to public and pro-
fessional interest In that famous case. II
IL n foregone conclusion that the contest
will be continued in the higher courts.
William Blaikie and Colonel Edward Z.
James. who appear for tho heirs, have AL
ready said that an appeal Will be prose
cuted at once TO the Court Of Appeals,
and that the fight has now really been
begun Colonel James said recently:
ut is one the most beautiful test cases
In law and equity now before the courts.
OF course we have not heard the last
Of II. Section 1922 of the Code OF Civil
Procedure provides that on the appeal
the general term Of the Superior Court
shall view all questions OF fact and OF
law. and may either modify or affirm the
Judgment, or award a new trial, or grant
to either party such Judgment as such
parties may be entitled to-
William b. Putney. Of Putney e. Bishop,
who were counsel for all the plaintiffs,
and especially for Amherst and Williams
colleges, explained the cause or protes-
sional interest in the three-cornered fght.
There is a statute" he said, (which pre-
vents a man from leaving more than hair
his estate, by will, away from his widow
II he has one. In effect, this is what was
done with the Fayerweather fortune
through the codlcils empowering the ex-
ecutors, Messrs. Ritch, Buckley. and
Vaughan. to dispose of the residue Of the
estate In other words, it is question
whether a person can do that which L.
prohibited In the law by doing 1t In an
other way than that mentioned by the
law. 1t is point rarely raised. and hence
makes this case especially interesting as
a test. I hardly think the decision OF
Judge Truax will be set aside"

POLITICS AT THE UNIVERSITY.
Mr.. Thomas Wiley Neal Elected President
OF Washington Literary Society.

UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA. Deem
Der i9.-(Special.) -Probably never in the
history Of the University Of Virginia has
the political spirit OF the Jeffersonian
Democracy OF the JEFF" equalled that
old-fashioned Federalism which predomi-
mated so strongly in the Wash" Hall
on Friday evening last. The political line
was firmly drawn between the old and
new members. the former OF which
having as It's leader Mr.. Samuel L. Fer
guson Virginla), TO whom too much
praise cannot be given for his shrewd
work and political foresight; and the lat
ter. Mr. Henry c. Minor MississippD.
Owing to the political chicanery which
was resorted 20 by the new faction. the
society was not called to order until seve-
raj hours after the regular time. No
sooner than the society was called TO
order and the minutes OF the preceding
meeting read and adopted, did Mr. c. n.
Crawford (MissourD make motion 20
pass over the head OF business known
as the initiation OF members. which. after
great commoton and hot discussions
on both sides. was finally defeated, ana
quite a number of applicants for member
ship were duly initiated. The next head
of business being the election OF the
intermediate president, the president an
nounced that the nominations were In
order.
In response 10 this. Mr.. J. L. Craig
California;, in a short but graceful
speech, placed in nomination the name OF
Mr.. Alfred Elworth STROBE. OF South Caro-
lima. After the deafening applause had
subsidized. Mr.. John II. Rev (Virginia)
rose, and in an able and eloquent speech.
set forth the claims OF Mr.. Thomas Wiley
Neal, OF Arkansas.
Mr.. Strodes nomination was seconded
by Mr.. c. l.. Davenport (Virginia), while
Mr.. S. a. Crowder espoused the
cause Of Mr.. Neal. The tellers having
made the count. the president announced
the election of Mr. Neal by a small ma
jority. The vote stood: Neal, e5; STROBE, 81.

NO ACTION ON CLOTURE.
Little Probability of any Early Change I'm
the Senate Rules.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., December TO-
The failure Of the Senate Committee on
Rules to take action this morning on
the many resolutions before 1t looking
TO a change in the rules now governing
the Senate is accepted by senator's as a
positive indication that nothing will be
done In this matter during the present
Congress. All the members were pres
ent-Messrs. Blackburn, Harris, Mander-
son, German, and Aldrich.
The whole subject was canvassed In a
pleasant and informal way Messrs. Har-
rs and Blackburn stating that they want
ed TO bring about a change, but admitting
the apparent impossibility Of their so
doing. Both the senators favor cloture.
The Republicans, however. are opposed
to any action at this time. and In this
view OF the expediency of reporting any
OF the amendments referred TO them
they are reinforced by Mr.. German. which
makes a majority of the committee. At
the meeting to-day Mr.. German said no.
thing to indicate that he had altered his
position adverse to such rule, which he
has always declared both In committee
and on the floor of the Senate.
Although nothing was done to-day. II
IS probable that the committee Will agree
TO the suggestion OF Mr.. Aldrich and meet
during the recess after the adjournment
of this Congress, and prepare such
changes as may be deemed advisable and
report TO the opening session Of the next
Congress-
