PROM WASHINGTON.
Washington, December 21.—The dispatch
steamer Tallahassee left for Aspinwall to-day.
The Reconstruction Committee had the
Georgia and Mississippi cases up. Without
notion, the Senate adjourned to January 5th.
jl r . Seward, in answering the letter from
Mew York merchants, says: “It is my duty
to inform you that the United States are at
peace with the Republic of Hayti The gov
ernment of the United States will protect no
United States citizens who attempt to trade in
Haytien ports in violation of any existing
blockade or any lawful decree of the govern
ment of the Haytien Republic, which has
been recognized by the United States. All
persons trading in insurrectionary ports of
Hayti will be liable to be dealt with accord

The ease of Gordon vs. the United States,
appealed from the Court of Claims, the Su
preme Court affirmed the decree of the Court
0 f claims that the award made by the Secre
tary of War was null and void upon repeal of
the joint resolution directing it, and that an
action founded on that award must be dis
missed. The action of the Secretary of War
in making the award was held to be minis
terial and not binding on the Government.
The case is from Florida and involves dam
ages on account of the war. The Court ad
journed from the 24th to the 4th of January,

the State’s actions arising under the Consti
tution will be called.

The Retrenchment Committee publish a re
peal on the revenue frauds. The greatest
want is undoubtedly of honest affidavits, but
no impeachment can be hoped for in that
direction under tbe present executive, a fact
which Congress should have realized and
acted upon long ago, and then devised a sys
tem by which human ingenuity and official
rapacity could not easily circumvent. They
say most distilleries are running now in
fraud of the revenue.
The hospital in course of construction at
tached to the Howard University (a freed-

A Young Man Sllot by a Woman for
Writing Insulting Notes.
At about 1:30 this afternoon the people in
the neighborhood of Water and Upper Third
streets were thrown into a state of excite
ment by the loud report of a pistol. A crowd
soon gathering, it was ascertained that Mr.
S. S. Moore, Jr., a son of S. S. Moore, Esq.,
and a clerk in his father's store, on Main
street, near Pearl, had been shot and instantly
killed by Mrs. Melissa Morton, wife of John
Morton. The shooting took place at the
house of Mrs Louisa Huff, who resides next
door to the Mortons. It seems that Mrs.
Morton had been at the store of Sir. Moore
a few minutes before, and was accompanied
near home by young Mr. Moore, who went to
Mrs. Huff’s residence and stated that he had
an agreement to meet Mas. Morton there.
Mrs. Huff stated that the room was cold, but
that she would make a fire. She started for
the door and had got on the outside when
Mrs. Morton entered and immediately drew
a revolver and fired, the ball entering Moore’s
neck, probably severing the jugular vein.
The unfortunate young man dropped dead
on the floor without making the least sign or
speaking a word.
We understand that Sirs. Slorton says that
Moore had written her several instilling notes,
which she has in her possession, and that she
had demanded a written apology from him.
What occurred at the store before the terrible
tragedy was enacted we are not advised, nor
what was the object of the conference at Mrs.
Huff’s. Nor are we advised of the natnre of
the conversation at Sirs. Huffs house, if any
took place. The affair is one of .the most
terrible that ever occurred in our city. Sirs.
Motron’s maiden name was Davis. Her hus
band was a lieutenant in tbe Twenty-third
regiment, and afterwards served in the west
ern navy. He is now absent at Kansas City,
Mo.—New Albany (Ind.) Ledger, Dec. 8lh.
The Copper Bill Outrage.—The New York
Journal of Commerce pronounces the increased
tariff or copper bill, that was forced through
the House the other day, “an outrage on de
cency,” and does not wondef, therefore, that
its friends are seeking to crowd it through the
Senate with as little discussion as possible.
The following will compare the present and
proposed rates on copper.
Present. Proposed.
Cooper in ore. .. .5 perct. value. 3 cts. per lb.

The prostrated shipbuilding interests are
pressing Congress for drawbacks on tbe
duties levied on all articles which enter- into
the construction of vessels. The House of
Representatives responds to their prayer by
doubling the tariff' on copper—one of the
articles largely used in ships for shearing pur
poses. On this the Chicago Tribune says:
The bill that passed the Honse of Repre
sentatives doubling the tariff on copper, was
not passed for revenue purposes, but for the
double object of cutting oft' the revenue de
rived from imported copper, and to compel
the American consumers of copper to pay a
special interest one-third more for the article
than its commercial and legitimate value.
This outrage on the public is called “protec
tion to industry.”

Georgia University.—We are gratified to
hear that Mr. Charles Morris, of Hanover
county, has been recently elected Professor
of Beiles Lettres and Rhetoric in the Univer
sity of Georgia. This , institution is just
being reorganized by a new corps of profes
sors. Among these we notice the Hon. A. H.
Stephens to the Chair of History, and Dr. J.
M. Smead, formerly a Professor of William
and Mary College, to the Chair of Modern
Languages. Mr. Morris is a wo i thy associate
of such men. He is a M- A. of the Univer
sity of Virginia, which of itself marks the
extent and variety of his erudition. He was
at an early age elected Professor of Law at
William and Mary, which positioh-he held at
the outbreak of the war. A love of letters is
the absorbing passion of his life, and to in
fuse his own ardor into others is his supreme
delight. He wiU be not only an accession to
the literary circles, but with his accomplished
wife, a grand-daughter of the late Governor
Pleasants, will impart new charms to the
social circles of his new home.— Richmond

jury rendered a verdict for the claimants in
the case of the United States vs. Four Hun

moved into its palatial new building on
Broadway, between Fulton and Ann stjeets.
The edifice, which cost $1,200,000, was built

it will yield a rental of ten per cent, on its

ESTABLISHED 1850.
Menard the Negro Congressman from
Louisiana—Who He Is and XVlint He
Is.
Menard, the negro member of Congress
from Louisiana, received his credentials yes
terday from Governor Warmouth, but could
find no one to present them and ask his ad
mission. A correspondent of the Baltimore
Gazette gives the following account of him :
Menard is a bright mulatto, 30 years of age,
and of medium height. He speaks fluently,
but incoherently, and professes to be a poli
tician of no mean pretensions. He savs he
is the grandson of General Menard, who em-
grated from the province of Louisiana to Il
linois before that State became a member of
the Union. Menard labored on a farm in
Southern Illinois until he was nineteen, when
he removed to the northern part of the State,
where he worked during the summer months,
and attended school in winter.
In 1859 he entered Liberia College, Ohio,
where he remained until 1861, when he visit
ed Canada, refoining to the United States in
1863. He entered the army as hospital stew
ard in this city, but remained only a few
mouths, when he was assigned a desk in the
Immigration Bureau of the Interior Depart
ment. The prejudice exhibited towards him
in his official position soon induced him to
resign, and, disgusted with the Government,
he sailed for British Honduras.
Here he was employed by the British Hon
duras Company to make an exploration of the
country, which he did to the satisfaction of
the Governor. He next visited Jamaica and
Hayti, returning to New Y’ork in 1865. Here
he remained but a short time, and again
shipped for New Orleans, where he arrived in
September, and, as he says, commenced to
organize the Republican party of the South.
His appearance indicates great cunning of
character, and he is never still a moment
while conversing, bnt appears restless and
uneasy.
His demeanor is saucy in the extreme. He
says he asks no favors, but simply justice at
the hands of the Radicals, and that they need
not attempt to deceive him, as he understands
them perlectly, and is up to all their tricks.
He avows himself a Radical of the Wendell
Phillips school, and says he has “no use for
milk-and-water men like Fessenden and
Trumbull.” He complains that leading Rad
icals like Sumner and Butler have completely
ignored his existence, and have never spoken
to him.
The only Senator who has given him any
countenance is Harris, of Louisiana, and the
only member of the House who has recog
nized his presence here is Dawes, of Massa
chusetts, who assured him to-day he should
have fair play. Menard says he is determin
ed to bring the Radicals up to the scratch,
and to-morrow Mr. Sypher, his colleague
from New Orleans, will present his creden
tials and ask that he be admitted to a seat.

Shocking Double Murder in a Street Car.
The horrible murder of a car driver and his
little son, on the Dauphin street railroad, by
a negro, Saturday evening, about half a mile
this side of the Barracks, has excited uo little
comment in this city. The driver was a na
tive of Ireland, by the name of Bradley,
about fifty years old, a tall, muscular man,
blind of one eye. The negro who committed
the deed got into the car at the lower station,
after it had left for the Barracks, about seven
o’clock in the evening. The others in the
car were one or two United States soldiers
and two or three citizens. Further down
some of the passengers got out, and at the
Barracks the soldiers and everybody except
the negro. He remained, and when the car
started on its return the driver called to the
black to pay bis fare. The driver’s son got
in the ear about this time, with his father’s
supper in a tin can.
The negro refused to pay, and on the de
mand being repeated he seized a hatchet
which lay near him on the car seat, and
gashed the driver’s head in a horrible man
ner. The first blow of the hatchet sent the
edge deep into the unfortunate man’s brain.
He fell forward on the front of the vehicle,
but tbe blood-thirsty negro repeated and
continued his blows until Bradley’s cheek
was swollen to n greater size than his head,
and both his eyes were beaten out.
The poor boy, on seeing his father assault
ed, screamed for help, when the negro turned
upon him, and used his hatchet almost as
murderously on him. After, as he thought,
killing both father, and son, the sable fiend
took the reins and'guided the mule so as to
turn the car off the track. As another car
approached, the driver of it called out asking
if the front car””had run off. Receiving no
answer, he got off his own vehicle, and en
tering the other, stumbled over the insensi
ble body of the poor little boy. Going fur
ther forward and lighting a match, (the car
light having been extinguished bv the negro,)
he discovered the driver, Bradley, on the
front portion, in a sitting position, with his
head bending over the fender. The poor
man was utterly insensible, groaning pite
ously.
The newly arrived driver, after a great deal
of trouble, and aided by people whom he had
called to assist him, placed the car on the
track and drove unto the station. The dri
ver expired shortly afterwards, and the son
on Sunday evening at forty-five minutes past
four o’clock. Dr. Bayou held ah autopsy and
the coroner an inquest.
A Bloody Duel.—The famous duelling
ground on the Metairie ridge, known as “The
Oaks,” was the scene yesterday morning of a
sanguinary duel between two young men of
this city wbioh has rarely had its parallel in
the annnls of the code either in this country
or in Europe. The antagonists were: the one
a native Creole of New Orleans, the other a
Frenchman by birth; the provocation, a blow
in the face at the hand of the Creole; the
weapons were broad-swords; the hour, day
break. Arrived on the field, accompanied by
their seconds, the combatants stripped to the
waist, and sword in hand, in the freezing air
of the morning, sprung at each other like
tigers. There was no hesitation or playing
to try each other’s Bkill. A few lunges and
cuts were successfully parried, when suddenly
an upeut from the Frenchman’s sword wound
ed his opponent in the right arm. The riposte
from the Creole laid open the Frenchman’s
left cheek, laying the inside open, and expos
ing his teeth. Nothing daunted, the wounded
man stepped back, had a handkerchiefbound
round his face, and again put himself in atti
tude of offence. His first lunge penetrated
the breast of his antagonist between the rib
and the skin, bnt it was made with such re
lentless force thatit passed also through the
off-arm. An attempt was made at this mo
ment by the seconds to stop the matter at that
point, but the man with the handkerchief
around his jaws rushed at the second who was
most anxious to settle the matter, sword in
hand, asseverating that nanght should quiet
his animosity except a cut across his throat.
The battle was renewed, and lasted until the
Creole had received eight wounds and the
other six—all severe and painful, but none, it
is hoped, dangerous. Both men displayed
extraordinary courage, animosity, and endur
ance, and during'the course of the bloody
encounter neither was willing to give up the
contest until both' had to let their hands fall
helpless to their sides from the, loss of blood
and the pain of their wounds. The parties
were carried home,-after having their wounds
dressed. —New Orleans Crescent, Dec. 13.
Underwood tbe.Fool.—The extraordinary
conduct of Judge Underwood in opening the
prison doors to all convicts in Virginia has at
last attracted the attention of Congress, and
the resolution of Senator Williams, of Ore
gon, was adopted, directing the Senate pom-
mittee on the Judiciary to inquire if there be
no way to arrest such a proceeding; and it is
understood the committee will act promptly
in the premises. It was declared by Senator
Williams to be the first instance ever known
where the action of a court de facto was set
aside, and criminals, regularly convicted,
turned loose upon a community simply be
cause the officer presiding was ascertained to
be not a judge de jure. The proceedings of
Jndge Underwood are universally condemned
here by all parties.—Washington Idler in Bal
timore Gazette.

Horrible Affair in Jasper County, Mis
souri-Five Men Mnrdercd by Robbers.
The Kansas City (Missouri) Times gives an
account of a horrible affair which recently
occurred in Jasper county, Missouri, in sub
stance as follows:
Mr. Turner, of Clay county, Missouri, pur
chased a lot of cattle some months ago, of
Colonel J. C. McCoy and others, of Dallas,
Texas, the cattle to be paid few at a point
called Dexter Springs.
Colonel McCoy sent his nephew, quite a
young man, with the cattle, to receive his
portion of the money, about $1,500, and the
other parties also sent agents. After receiv
ing pay for the cattle, young McCoy,
Jones, and three others of the party, started
back to Texas, and while encamped at Buck-
liar’s Prairie, Jasper county, were fired upon
by five men, and two of the party killed and
one mortally wounded.
McCoy and one other man escaped and
went to a farm house near by. Soon after
arriving there, the men who had done the
shooting, accompanied by three others, ap
peared and demanded McCoy’s money, which
was given up, and then placed him and his
comrade in a school house and kept them
guarded until the night of the second day
after, when they were taken out by a party,
now increased to fifteen or twenty, for the
ost msible purpose of burying the dead; but
alter proceeding some distance they robbed
McCoy’s companion of S65, and then began
fi ing at him. He broke away, however, and
escaped. They then shot McCoy iu several
places and left him for dead. He was not
killed, however, and was found the next
morning, taken to the house of a settler, and
cared for; but there is little hope of his re
covery. The parties engaged in this atrocious
affair are said to be well known, and are resi
dents of the immediate vicinity.
It is also stated, but the report is donbted,
that the murderers, failing to despatch the
witnesses of their first assassination, deposit
ed the money taken from McCoy with the
postmaster at Baxter's Springs. It is further
stated that when a party went to bury the
three murdered men they found considerable
money upon their persons, and got into a
row about a division of the spoils, hut it was
finally settled by giving the doctor who had
attended McCoy the lion’s share.
Lo, the Poor Indian I
Letters of an unofficial character, received
by an officer of one of the departments from
Superintendents of Indian Affairs, Murphy
and Wynkoop, give altogether a different
coloring to the victory recently achieved by
General Cnstar over Black Kettle and his
band. As both these officers are' of the In
dian Bureau, which is opposed to the coer
cive policy of the War Department,' their
statement must be taken as the other Side of
the story. Superintendent Murphy says that
Black Kettle has always been a firm friend to
the government, and has interfered for the
protection of whites even so far as to incur
the deep displeasure of a large portion of his
band. When his village was attacked by
General Custar’s command his people were
on their way to Fort Kearney to obtain their
annuities, and were within fifty miles of the
fort when the attack occurred. Superinten
dent Wynkoop has sent to the Commissioner
his resignation, and gives the following rea
sons for so doing : He had ordered the In
dians to rendezvous at a certain point to re
ceive their annuity goods, when they were
suddenly attacked by Colonel Chivington, at
Sand Creek, and mercilessly slaughtered.
After that the Indians lost nil confidence in
him, but he succeeded in finding his way
back to their favor. Then, while passing
from the Northern hunting grounds to their
reservation, they were attacked by the troops
under General Hancock, and again outraged.
Again they suspected Colonel Wynkoop and
refused to have any dealings with him, but
once more he contrived to regain their confi
dence. Since the attack made by General
Cnstar the Indians have become bitterly in
censed against the Superintendent, and, as
he dares not venture among them any more,
he feels it to be his duty to resign.
Horrible Mubders.—A negro man was
brought to jail here on Wednesday last for
murdering two negro women near Duncan
ville, in this county, a week before his arrest.
One of the women was his wife, whom he
murdered for her unfaithfulness in. leaving
him for another man, and the other woman
was the wife of the man charged with giving
asylum to the murderer’s wife.. He confessed
the crime upon his arrest,- and related the.
horrible details of the double mart
said he had for some time intended to kill
his wife, and sought to shoot her; but finding
her on this occasion with the woman who
had aided and encouraged her to leave liis
house, he ohanged his mind and struck her
with the gun. The blow felled her insensible
to the earth, and the other woman then fled
to give information, but he ran after her and
felled her also with the gun, and repeated the
