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 ing to the processes and principles of inter national law.” 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, on which day the original actions between the State’s actions arising under the Consti tution will be called. Senator Trumbull's bill providing for the safety of extradition prisoners is approved by Secretary Seward. 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- mtui’s institution) fell to-day, hurting fifteen persons, two-thirds of whom are colored, five seriously injured. The Senate passsd the resolution adding two Southern Senators to the Pacific Rail road Committee, and adjourned. FROM WASHINGTON. Washington, December 21—Noon.

Fortress Monboe, December 21.—The steamship Lncilla, from Wilmington, N. C., for Baltimore, ran down the schooner Cham pion, loaded with oysters, drowning two of the crew of the latter. The mate of the steamer James Lee, who went aboard of the schooner, was also drowned. DEATH OF A DISTINGUISHED CATH- olic. am' r Providence, December 21.—Rev. Wm. C. Reilley, pastor of St. Mary’s Catholic Church, at Newport, and Yicar General ot the Hart ford diocese, died suddenly yesterday. 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. Do regulus, block. Ac. do. 4 “ “ Do. old, fit only to be manufactured.... 1 Ic. per lb. 4 “ “ Do. plates 35 perct. 4 “ “ Do. pigs 21c.perlb. 5 “ “ Do. ingots 2$e. per lb. 5 “ “ Do. bars.. 2$c.perlb. 5 “ “ 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.” ► « ♦ « 4 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 Whig- ■ t f | Four Hundred Hogsheads of Sugar For feited.— Philadelphia, December 17-—In the United States District Court to-day the jury rendered a verdict for the claimants in the case of the United States vs. Four Hun dred Hogsheads of Sugar claimed by Messrs. Madeira & Cabada. The ground for the libel of forfeiture was an alleged attempt to evade the revenue laws by invoicing the sugar as molasses. The amount of money involved was about $325,000. _A Dastardly Assault.—A few evenings since, as a lady abonl. sixty years old was passing through Whiting street, she was met by a villain who suddenly placed a plaster over her mouth and then dragged her into a yard, where he attempted violence of her per son. The lady resisted the assault with all her strength, when some person passing frightened the rascal _an&‘ he flejL—Neto Raven Courier7 ' Bullets in Broadway.—A young man em ployed in a drygoods store was walking down Broadway Wednesday afternoon, when he felt something hit his arm. On arriving at the store he discovered that he had been shot through the arm by : a Bullet, ■ which had lodged and remained in his side. Where the bullet came from, who fired it, or for what— all thes6 points remain a perfect mystery.— Suri."' i •»— The Park Bank of. Hew York, has just moved into its palatial new building on Broadway, between Fulton and Ann stjeets. The edifice, which cost $1,200,000, was built with the - surplus funds of the bank, without touching the capital, and it ib estimated that it will yield a rental of ten per cent, on its cost, besides famishing quarters to the bank free of charge. . We see that many families are leaving va rious parts of Georgia for the Western States, and are sorry to know that even some of old Early’s citizens are preparing to do so. Our advice to all is to stay in Georgia. We have whipped Radicalism, can do it again, and the old State has a living and home yet for all honest and industrious people.—Early County Tha Platte Valley people say they can raise anongh beet-root sugar to half supply the United States. 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. [From the New Orleans Creecent.] 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. Secretary McCulloch’s Estimates far the Next Fiscal Tear.

McCulloch, Secretary of the Treasury. 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 blows until he was satisfied she was dead. The infuriated demon then Tetumed to his still insensible wife, and with his pocket- knife cut her throat and went his way. The Superior Court being in session, he will probably be tried during the present week.—ThomasviUe Enterprise, 16ft. :> ■*.'< Highway Robbery.—Chicago, December 17. —A special dispatch from Omaha says: ‘Last night J.
