Washington Letter.
AVasihsoton', D. 0. Dec . 7th 1877.
Judgo Humphreys of cur Dis
trict Supreme Court yesterday de
cided that John Patterson, being;
a Senator from South Carolina,
and there being fears that he
would not bo fairly tried if return
ed to that State, should not be sur
rendered on the requisition of
Governor Hamilton. Their may
possibly bo sense and law in the
Judge’s proposition that a Senator
of the Unite! States, while the
Senate is in scssioft and he is iu
attendance, cannot be reached by
State process. But surely no inau
except Judge Humphreys would
have gone, into the question wheth
er or not the fugitive would re
ceive a fair trial iu tho jiirisdiotiuu
from which his surrender came.
This astonishing deoision should
he inquired into. The Judge is
appointed by the President and
paid by the United States.
On Monday, the first day of the
regular session, the nomination ol
E. A. Hoyt as the Commissioner
of Indian Affairs wns sent to the
Senate. As Hoyt had heen previ
ously nominated, and the Senate
had given no official notice of his
non-confirmation, this supposed
act of Mr. Hayes was the subjevt
of muoh comment. It is now said
that not Mr. Hayes, but Secretary
Sohurz, in the name of Mr. Hayes,
sent • in the nomination. This
wonld be a greater error than for
Hayes to do it, for, besides having
no such right at any time, tierotary
Sohurz by reason of service in the
Senate, mUBt bo supposed to be
familiar with the course of busi
ness between tho Executive and
that body.
In the House, on Tuesday, a hill
was passed without opposition,
repealing those of tbe Revised
Statutes which virtually put it in
toe power of a Federal Judge to
exolude from juries any person
suspected by him of having at
tempted to prevent the eutorce-
r ment of ter tain luwrf since declar
ed unconstitutional by the Su
preme Court.
Quito a number of troops are on
their way to the Uio Grande. It
is known also, that tho Mexican
force on that river is being rein
forced . Gun. Ord, commanding
there, is in this city, and insists
upon the need ot a much larger
force. H« represents that the
Mexicans on the border are in full
sympathy with Indian and Mexi
can raiders into Texas. a

Aside from its treatment
money question the mess|i)29 ol
Mr. Huyts seut to Cungn^hs'on the
4th, is not one to receive snthusi-
nstio praiso, or decided condemna
tion. Its treatment of tlrn South
ern question will be i.vcuptable to
most citizens, but to a vast mini
bur of Radicals it will not be.
Tho abort reference-to the Admin
ist’ratiim’s civil seeviee policy
allows that Mr. Hayes appreciates
in part at least, the universal be
lief that liis a tenipts.in that di
rection were uuithnr; Sincere uor
successiul.
The holiday recess of Congress
will probably commence in about a
week, and continue at least a
mouth, Some of tho work of the
regular session was performed at
the special sessiou, and many
speeches prepared on tile finances
and other subjects liavo already
been delivered. Work does not
pie-s heavily and Congressmen
are inclined to rest for a time.
The llrst number of tho Washing,

this morning. II lias some ot tho in-
rvltablo defects of a first issue, but Is
very creditable, editorially mid titc-
chaulcally, to those cuitccruod iu Its
production. The cntrrprlso was en
dorsed yestordoy by a caucus of the
House Democrats.
It is asserted, but tbo story Is con-
tradictod, that Sccrotnry Evans has
icado to Senator Conkllug proposals
for a settlement of tho dlsgute as to
Now York appointments, Tho story
Is unlikely. The "New York ap

8il<l Accidents.
The ThomaBville Times has the
following acoonnt ol asad accident
On Friday night lust Miss Min
nie Wothiugtoti, daughter of Mr.
A. Wethlogton, was sitting by
tho fire in her room writing, with
a kerosene lamp bin ning do a ta
ble beside her. Her dress caught
tire from u spark, and blazing upj
attracted her attention. She
thoughtedly blew out the lamp,
threw a crumb cloth over her head
and ran screaming from the room.
Her lather hasiuiicd to her relief,
and after some time succeeded iu
extinguishing tho flames. Ills
hands were lerriWy ..burned and
uud Miss .Minnie was severely
seriously uud fatally burned, and
kicuthod her Inst on Saturday
night. She wns a very lovely and
intelligent young lady, a member
of tho smior class in Yonng Fe
male College, and considered by
the President one of the best uud
brightest pupils in his whole
school.’’
The srtme paper lias the follow
ing fatal accident rcooided: “On
Saturday last Mr. John L. Linton
and Mr. Frank M. Jones went
out hunting. They were riding

ried his young son, Lawson, be
tween seven and eight years of ago
behind him. Some time duriug
the afternoon they both dismoun
ted and loft Lawson ro hold tho
horses. They went off some little
distance, and Lawson comiuenoed
riding toward them, but soon got
into a boggy place, when it seem
ed us if tbe horse ho was leading

called to him to turn Frank's
liorso louse uud hold on to tho one
