DAILY ENQUIRER • SITN : COLUMBUS, GEORGIA, TUESDAY MORNING DECEMBER 28, 1H86.
SENATORIAL REMINISCENCES.
The CiiHtnm of Ailjiniriiliig for Die Clirlitni
lloliflttJN.
Washington, December 25.—‘‘Tills c;;
tom of both houses adjourning during t ,
Christmas holidays was not adopted un i.
about the beginning of the war,” re
marked Mr. D. I’. Murphy, official r
porter of the senate, who lias been r
porting the senate debates for more thu.
a third of a century. “It is rather singu
Jar, too,” he continued, "that the change
came in with, and was brought about by,
New England men, who. as a rule, do not
pay such observance to Christmas times as
the south, n section that had dominated
up to that time. Oil, yes; congress used
to adjourn practically during the holidays,
but each house acted for itself. Tlio sen
ate. for instance, would adopt a resolu
tion that when it adjourned that day
It bo until the following Monday, On
Monday somo of the senators, perhaps
very few of them, would meet and extend
the recess until Thursday. Those who
wunted to go homo did so, as there was
scarcely any business —none of any import
ance-transacted during the holidays. The
house, also, would take recesses three days
at a time, to extend through tho holidays.
In 1858 or’69 Senator CoTlamer, of Ver
mont, protested against that method of
adjourning, and the present custom of con
current action was adopted. During the
recess including Christmas of 18(i2 ami
New Year’s of 188.‘t the bill constituting
West Virginia a state was before President
Lincoln, and the question was raised
that he could not legally si n
it us the ten days’ limitation would expire
before congress would again be in session.
That question was submitted to the cabinet
and in accordance with its decision tlio
bill was approved. it was held that as it
was not. an adjournment of congress the
president could affix hissignature. When
the bill reached the president congress
had adjourned for the holidays, and llie
ten days he was authorized to retain a bill
for his consideration ami action would ex
pire before the reassembling of congress.
Hence the question as to Mr. Lincoln’s sig
nature. But lie did sign it on the 28lh or
29th ofDecember.
“There are no such crowds in the senate
these days,” continued Mr. Murphy, “as
used to pack the old chamber. I’ve seen it
packed almost to suffocation day after day.
Then it was customary to adopt a resolu
tion to admit ladies to the floor, and they
would be accommodated until every foot of
space almost was occupied. During tho
Lecompton debate in 1858 people would
come as early as 10 o’clock to secure seats,
and would remain in their seats until per
haps 10 or 11 o’clock at night. I remember
once Douglass was to coucludo the debate,
or one branch of it, and as early as 10 a. in.
there was a rush to secure scats in the gal
lery.”

DEATH TAKES A FREAK.
A Negro Woman Who was Orailually Turning
White Plea.
Howell, Mich., December 25.—Mrs.
Jacob Eldridge, Howell’s strange ireuk of
nature, the coloredlwoman who has been
turning white for several yenrs, died
here yesterday. She has been ill for sev
eral months, hut it is not Lhuught that the
peculiarly Btrauge change in color which
she underwent had anything to do with
her lost illness. The greater part of her
body is now a healthy lily white. Iler hus
band, who was a pioneer of this county,
died Tuesday morning. Mrs. Eldridge’s
grandfat her was a Guiana man, and her
ancestors are full-blooded negroes as far as
is known. The natural color of Mrs.
Eldridge was quite dark, evou for her race,
and there was nothing peculiarly notice
able about it until she was quite advanced
in years. Quite a number of years ago
she noticed a spot of white about tho size
of a silver dollar upon her right leg. In
the course of a few months others appear
ed upon various parts of her body, rather
more prominent upon her limbs, in time
these grew together, until most of her
body became white. For the Iasi lew
years the change has appeared to follow
the principal nerves, and in time crept
up the spinal cord and over her fore
head. About the time that the change
reached the fore part of her hair, streaks
of white began to appear upon each side
of her chin, meeting at her mouth. One
peculiarity is that whenever thu change
came it was complete. There is no fading
of the white on into the block through
the various shades of gray, as would be
expected, instead of this, the white and
black, arc distinctly divided. The color of
the changed portion is of a clear, healthy
lily whiteness, and one would hardly be
lieve, to look at the arm of Mrs. Eldridge,
that, it was not the arm of a white lady.
During all the change Mrs. Eldridge
suffered no inconvenience whatever
from it, and never felt any kind
of sensation either of ntrvousniss
or pain that could be attributed to that
cause. It lias seemed to gradually go on
without affecting her feelings or health in
any manner whatever. Coming to this
county in 1S52, ttie particulars of this
strange case ore within the knowledge of all
citizens, who know fully of itsgeuuineuess.
When interviewed, Dr. Coleman aaid: “1
was first called to see her about the 1st of
April. I can not see that there is any skin
disease. In the skin of the negro there is a
pigmentary deposit, and in this case I think
it but the absorption of this deposit as far
as the skin is concerned. I never heurd of
a similar case.”
