WASHINGTON.
A Burst About, the Old Flag—Conllr
IMPERTINENCE OF THE GRAND ARMY
OF THE REPUBLIC.
Washington - , April 10. — The
Grand Army of the Republic last
night passed resolutions condemning
the Washington I.lght Infantry for
not carrying the United States ifag,
while acting ns escort to the Norfolk
City Guard, now on a visit to this
city, and cluiming that said company
refused or neglected to bear the flag
of our country, and it is believed it
has been done in deference to the
wishes of the company from Virginia.
The Washington Light Infantry,
composed principally of Government
clerks, is commanded by Col. Wm.
G. Moore, who was pay master in the
Union army, and private secretary to
President Johnson. The company
does not errry the flag as they claim
a single company is not entitled to u
flag, as that distinction belongs only
to regiments and battalions.

FORTY-SIXTH CONGRESS.
IlOVSK.
Washington, April 10.—The com
mittees were not announced this
morning, but the House, after read
ing the journal, wont into committee
of the whole on the legislative appro
priation bill, of which, there are still
twenty-live printed pages to be dis
posed of before taking up the con
tested portion of tlie bill.
McMahon, offered an amendment,
tlie concluding portion of which
says : In order to provtde for the pay
ment of pension arrearages the Sec
retary of the Treasury be directed to
issue immediately in payment there
of the ten'millious in legal tenders,
now kept in tlie Treasury as a special
fund for redemption of fractional cur
rency.
Garfield made a poiut of order that
the amendment wus not germane to
the bill.
After quite an animated discussion,
in which McMahon, Kelly, Weaver
and others insisted that there was no
reason for keeping tills $10,000,000 in
the Treasury, tlie Speaker decided
the amendment in order, and after
being additionally amended so as to
provide that fractional currency pre
sented for redemption shall be re
deemed in any moneys at the Treas
ury at the time the same is presented,
McMahon’s amendment was adopted.
Tlie House committees will be an
nounced to-inorrow.

The Senate resumed the considera
tion of the New Hampshire Senato
rial case. Haulsbury argued against
the admission of Bell to a seat.

vote of 35 to 28.
The army bill was brought before
the Senate, after which executive ses-.
sion and tlie Senate adjourned till to

Special to Courier-Journal.1
Washington, April 8.—Several
weeks ago, Prof. C. V. Riley, Ento
mologist of the Agricultural Depart
ment, and formerly State Entomolog
ist of Missouri, sent in his resignation
to Commissioner LeDuc. It caused
general surprise, for he was known
tobeabout the only scientific man
connected with the whole establish
ment. He has during the past ten
days received from scientific gentle-
men all over tlie country numerous
letters inquiring into the cause of his
resignation; and to all he has replied
that he could not, out of respect to
himself, remain longer under Gen
eral Le Due. In conversation to
day, Prof. Riley made certain state
ments that will be likely to lead
to a Congressional investigation.
, He remarked Unit he hud not cared
so much about tlie personal effronts
shown him by Le Due, but he did
object to the latter assuming every
thing connected witli his special de
partment. Furthermore, he charges,
and stunds ready to prove, that Sir.
Le Due has misappropriated the
funds set apart for the commission
appointed to investigate the ravages
of tlie cotton worm in the Sot®.
The Professor says that this fund was
so drawn upon that he could not ope
rate with auy success. It was used
hi clerk lure, and he knows that a
draughtsman sent out to Minnesota
to make plans for a new house for Le
Hue was paid from this appropriation.
The Commissioner is about to have
an interesting investigation on his
hands. It will be remembered that
Borne time since the charge was pub
licly made that Le Due had misap
propriated the funds for seeds. This
can be proved. It amounts to several
thousands of dollars. Since tlie resig
nation of Prof. Riley, the place he
vacated has been offered by Le Due
to Prof. Cyrus Thomas, of Illinois;
but that gentleman lias written a
caustic letter of refusal to the Com
missioner, giving “under the circum
stances” as his reason. Prof. Riley
still remains in Washington at the
head of the committee to investigate
the grasshopper ravages, which com
mission is under the Interior Depart
ment, and has no connection with
the Agricultural Bureau.
Debate on the Bell Cnee Untie
Quite Lively by N»U Carpenter.
Special Telegram to the Courier- Journal.]
Washington, April 8.—The feat
ure of the day in the debate on the
Bell case in the Sennte was the speech
by Matt Carpenter, who took the
ground maintained by the majority
of the Democrats, that Bell should
not be seated, aH the Constitution
does not provide for the appointment
of a Senator by the Governor of a
State when the vacancy is occasioned
by the expiration of a regular term
and the absence of tlie Legislature,
which will not meet in New Hamp
shire until fall. Carpen’ter was in the
best trim, and in the cross-tiring
which arose out of his speech display
ed some of his ojd-time ability. He
read from the record of tlie last Con
gress, in which Blaine is down ns
saying that the Governor would not
have the authority to appoint; and,
ill Hie reading of Blaine’s remarks,
Carpenter so emphasized them as to
cause great laughter at the Maine
statesman. He also charged his col
league, Angus Cameron, with hav
ing been guilty of a trick
in this very matter last Con
gress; and when Cameron undertook
to explain he rapped him severely by
reading the record on him. He also
dealt some personal thrusts at McMil
lan of Minnesota, and, altogether,
made the day quite lively. There
will be a number of Democrats who
will vote to seat Bell, but probably,
with one or two exceptions besides
Carpenter, tlie Republicans will be
solid in favor of Bell’s credentials.
As Carpenter said in the beginning
of his argument, there ought to be no
party consideration on tlie vote, as,
decided either way, it made no differ
ence as to the working of the Demo
crats. No vote was readied on the
question.

Marshal Flts*lmons Again.
Washington, April 0.—Attorney
General Devens lias written to Mar
shal Fitzsinions on the subject of the
recent decision of Judge Woods as to
the execution of commissioners’ war
rants. The letter states that as the
Judge has decided that all warrants
must be executed, the Marshal will
have to govern himself accordingly,
but suggests that he use discretion in
the matter, with the fact always be
fore him that the money is running
very low and expenses" must be re
duced in some way. The Attorney
General also thanks the Marshnl anil
District Attorney for the stand they
took in the matter gnd the co-opera
tion evinced by them to reduce ex
penses, and regrets that the Judge of
the Court could not take file same
view as to the execution of warrants
that other Judges have taken, and
which have resulted in great saviug
to the Department.

An Honest Legal Opinion.
An honest farmer once called upon
tlie late Roger M. Sherman, tlie cel
ebrated lawyer, and told him ho
wanted an opinion. He bad heard a
great deal about the value of Mr.
Sherman’s opinions, and how a great
many peopl j went to him to get an
opinion ; and John, who never had
had, nor wns likely to have, a law
suit or other difficulty for a luwyer io
help Hi in from, thought he would
have had an “opinion.”
"Well, John, what can I do for
you?” said Mr. S., when John, in ills
turn, was shown into the room.
“Why, lawyer,” replied John, I
happened to lie in town, and having
nothing to do, 1 thought I would
come and get your opinion.”
“State your case, John. Wliat’s
tlie matter V”
“Oil, nothing. I ain’t got no law
suit, I only want to get one of your
opinions; they say they're very val
uable.”
“But, John, about wliat?”
“Oh, anything, sir take your pick
and choose.”
Mr. Sherman, seeing tlie notions
of liis client on the matter in band,
took his pen, ond writing a few words,
folded them up and handed them to
John, who carefully placed tlie paper
in bis pocket.
“What’s to pay, sir?”
“Four and sixpence.” Yankee
money, 75c.
When John returned home the
next morning, lie found his wife,
who pretty much took tlie lead in his
business matters, anxiously discuss
ing with his chief furm servant the
propriety of getting in a large quan
tity of oats on that day, which had
been cut on the one previous, or un
dertaking some other labor.
John was appealed to to settle the
question, but lie could not decide. At
lengtli lie said:
“I’ll tell you wliat, Polly, I’ve
been to a lawyer and got an opinion
that cost me four and sixpence.
There it is—read her out; its a law
yer’s writing, and I cun’t make head
or tail of it.”
John, by tlie way, could not read
tlie plainest print, bnt Polly, who
was something of a scholar, opened
the paper and read us follows:
“Never put off till to-morrow wliat
can lie done to-day.”
“Enough said!” cried John, “them
oats must be got in.” And tliey
were got in, and the same night such
a storm came on as otherwise would
liuvc ruined them entirely.
John often afterwards consulted
this opinion and acted upon it, and
to this day entertains a high opinion
of lawyers’ opinions generally, and
of tlie lamented Mr. Sherman’s in
particular.

THE BALL OF TIIE GALLOWS.
A Mluffnlar Scene That Followotl a
Vlrslnla Hanging—The Ball Nuper-
•IIUoiiMly Begun at Midnight — Xe-
ffroe* Fighting fur Bits of the Gallon*
Rope, Mold by an Old Voudou Wo
man.
New Kent Court-house, March
26.—This morning at 5 o’clock closed
one of the most remarkable balls ever
known in tlie history of Virginia—a
gallows ball. Yesterday two negroes,
Patrick Smith and Julius Christian,
were hanged for murder, and the
hanging attracted hundreds from
every part of tlie country. Tlie ne
groes came in immense numbers. It
wns a gain day for them, and they
were all in holiday attire. The field
in which tlie men were hanged looked
like a country fail-. Booths were
erected. An enterprising Yankee
hud a side show and educated pig,
and itinerant musicians enlivened
tlie occasion. After the hanging the
crowds of whites went away, but the
negroes bung about the Held mid
around tlie shallow graves of the
felons until dark. Tliey had de
termined to have a ball, but accord
ing to some superstition among them
it could not begin until after tlie mid
night hour. A large burn near the
field was swept clean liy hundreds of
willing hands. At 12 o’clock it was
crowded. On a small stage in a cor
ner the slnnd for tlie musicians was
placed, which was occupied by four
banjo players and one fiddler, in tlie
middle of the room was another
stand, upon which the man who
called out the figures stood, it was a
weird scene. Boys stood in the cor
ners of tlie room, with pine knot
torches, which filled the place with
black smoke, and made a nitirkv
light.
At 12:15 tlie festivities began.
Peter Johnson, a burly tobacco hand,
occupied the stand in the middle of
the room, and sang out in stentorian
voice: “Choose your partners.” The
strangely made-up orchestra struck
up, “The Mississippi Sawyer,” a
valid Ethiopian air, ami due'lng be
gan. As the music went on, tlie
musicians and dancers grew wild ami
wilder, and shotted mul sang as
if possessed liy the devil. Such ex
clamations as “I could die dis mo
ment!” “Oh, liord, how happy I is!”
and the like were heard, especially
from tlie women. At about 2 o’clock
Lucinda Macon, an old Voudou ne-
gress, suddenly made her appearance
in tlie barn. The Musicians and
dancers slopped in terror. The old
hag slipped Into the middle of the
room, and then began a series of
strange incantation scenes. The
“trick” doctress was dressed in an
old blue and white checkered dress,
and had in her hand a large bundle,
tied up in a red hankerchlef. She
opened it, and after muttering a lot
of gibberish, in what the negroes say
here was an African dialect, she said
she had the rope with which the men
were hanged, mid that after she had
touched any bit of it tlmt piece would
secure the possessor against the evil
designs of any person who tricked
them or poisoned them. She cut it
up in small bits, and over each bit
she muttered and sprinkled some
thing from an old jug, and then she
sold it for fifty cents. Tlie rush for
these pieces of rope was great. The
men fought for them.
This ceremony wns kept up until
21 A. M. Tlie rope did not go around,
and when tills became known, those
who did not get a piece acted like
fiends, and begged the hag for thread
only. She told them that nothing
else would effect the charm except
small particles of clothing in wliicli
the men were buried. A large party
then started oft'to tlie grave under
neath the gullows, for the purpose of
disiiitering tlie bodies and bringing
back the garments. They soon re
turned in horror to tlie* ball-room,
swearing that tliey had seen the two
men who were hanged walking
around the grave. The ling added to
the excitement by declaring, at tlie
top of her voice, singing out the
words, that Smith and t'lirfstain had
not died, because she had given them
a charm. The secret is that tlie visit
of the dancers to the grave frighten
ed off two resurrectionists who were
after the bodies for the doctors. Tlie
dancing and singing was kept up
until 5 o'clock. II was announced
by the voudou doctress that all who
danced at tlie gallows ball would be
able to dunce as long as they lived,
no matter if tliey lived to lie Id.
N|mnl*h Merlnon.
It is said that tlie origin of the
Spanish Merinos dates back to the
Roman civilization, and thence to
Greece. The Romans had a herd
which they called Turrentinc, from
Tarrentiuo, a Greek colony. Hence,
they were called also Greek sheep.
Their wool is of exceeding fineness,
and it is related of them that they
were protected liy coverings of skins,
carefully housed, combed and bullied
witli oil and wine. From this wc
may infer that at that time they were
highly bred. Columella, who lived
before the Christian era, relates that
ills unde, M. Columella, transported
from Cadiz to his farm lands, which
were In Boctica, some wild rams of
admirable whiteness, brought from
Africa, and crossed them witli the
coveted or Turrentinc ewes. The oil-
spying prod need rams with aflnolleece.
Strabo says in his account of tlie
geography of Spain, that in the time
of the Emperor Tiberius, wool of
great fineness and beauty was export
ed from Hudilanin, a part of Boetiea,
and that the rams were sold in that
province, for improving the breed,
for a talent each or about $1,000.
When tlie Roman empire was over
run by the barbarians, the Tarren-
tine stock of Italy, being very ten
der, became extinct; but tlie improved
stock of Boetiea, living in the moun
tains, survived, and perpetuated by
tlie Moors, who, skilled in the tex
tile arts, could appreciate its value,
still exists as the Merinos of Spain.
If this view is correct, the Merino is j
tlie most important surviving relic of j
tlie material civilization of the Greeks
and Romans.
Florence, the actor, tells this story
of the Elder Booth: “He was play
ing ‘Hamlet’ in Virginia one night,
and had no skull. A little darkic
volunteered to gut one. When Booth
was leaving the theatre, lie felt some j
one tugging [at his coat tail. He!
looked around and saw the little
brunette. “What will you have,
sonny?” “Flense, sub, I wants dad
dy’s skull, sail.” “Buddy's skull?”
“Yes, sail; dut used ter’bo do old
man’s head-piece afore tlie mewel
kicked him, an’ mammy’ll lick me
ter rage ef I lose it.” — Ex.
A ('roivlni; Doff.
There is a curiosity at tlie little vil
lage of Brandon, North Texas, in tlie
shape of a crowing dog. This canine
is the property of a citizen, J. B.
Brandon. The animal lias generally
made his couch in the chicken house,
directly under the roost. It seems
that the dog has become so accus
tomed to the periodical nocturnal
crowing of his friends, the roosters,
that through sheer imitation, he has
got to crowing as regularly as they.
At the midnight crowing the canine
begins with his feathered fellow-lod
gers, and crows as long as any of them;
and so accurate an imitation docs lie
make of it that liis master, Mr. Bran
don, though standing right over him,
cannot tell his crowing from a real
cock’s. The perfection of the dog in
his new role is quite astonishing.—
