The negro in the South, “fore free-

and dexterous than the average white
man of tiie same age. This was the
result of habit, not a natural supe
riority. White hoys wore in the
school room, cramped behiud hard
desks seven to nine hours, everyday,
except Saturday, while negro boys
were free to run, jump, climb trees,
ride horses and mules harebuck, and
take other playful exerclso, and they
did little else except to eat and sleep.
This dexterity made them well adapt

Washington Letter.
From Our Regular Correspondent.
Washington, Jan. 30, 1888.
Editors Union-Rkcordkr:
Last Thursday was a field day in
the Senate. It had been announced
that Senator Kenna, West Virginia,
would reply to the recent tariff
speech of Senator Sherman. The
galleries were crowded with hun
dreds who were eager to hear the
discussion of the most vital issue of
the time.
Senator Kenna’s defense of the
President’s famous message was mas
terly and convincing, and the Demo
cratic position on the tariff was set
fortli in fine style, while the alleged
arguments of Senator Sherman were
completely demolished.
Replying to the Ohio Senator’s claim
that a Treasury surplus was prefera
ble to a deficit, Mr. Kenna cited the
fact that four successive Secretaries
of the Treasury—two Republican and
two Democratic- and two Presidents
Arthur and Cleveland-had agreed in
condemning a surplus revenue and
in demanding a reduction of taxation.
This argument was unanswerable,
Mr. Riddlehegur continues his war
on tiie secret sessions of the Senate,
tiie latest assault of tiie impulsive
Virginian having been provoked by
tiie dictatorial airs of tiie would-be-
lordly Edmunds, of Vermont. Exec
utive star-chamber sessions are grow
ing more unpopular every day and
their final abandonment is only a
matter of time.
Some newspapers throughout tiie
country have been confounding Sena
tor Hoar’s Inanuguration Day reso
lution with some other measure.
The joint resolution which passed the
Senate was simply this: Tiie term
of office of the President and of the
Fiftietli Congress shall continue until
the last Tuesday of April, in the year
1889, at noon. The Senators whose
term would otherwise expire on the
fourth day of March, in the year 1889,
or thereafter, shall continue in office
until noon of the last Tuesday in
April succeeding such expiration;
and tiie last Tuesday of April, at
noon, shall thereafter he substituted
for the fourth of March as the com
mencement and termination of the
term of the President, Vice-President,
Senators and Representatives in Con
gress.
There is nothing in Mr. Hoar’s res
olution relative to the time of meet
ing of Congress, or the election of
members. There are hills pending in
hoth House, however, which provide
that Congress shall meet on the 15th
of October, instead of the first Mon
day in December, and it is with these
hills that the Hoar resolution Inis
been confounded.
The event of the week in tiie House
was the Lowry-White election contest,
which is still pending. All of the Re
publican Representatives are mar
shaled in battle array, and it is evi
dent that, they propose exhausting all
their resources to retain an alien Con
gressman, who is no more nor less
than u usurper, in his seat. The
Democrats are endeavoring to remand
tiie controversy hack to tiie people
for settlement. The Republican par
ty lias so often been the champion of
fraud that it seems to hesitate at
nothing of this kind. (White was
seated by the Democrats.)
The President has materially chang
ed I lie civil service rules. Tiie maxi
mum age limitation of forty-live years
has been abrogated; the list ex
empts lias been restricted; some addi
tional advantages are given to sol
diers; dismissal for offensive partisan
ship is made imperative. The rule
requiring ofiiciuls to give their reas
ons for tiie dismissal of subordinates
was rejected, although there was a
powerful Mugwump iniiuence exerted
iu support of it.
It is highly probable that several
changes will soon be made in the Ter
ritorial Judiciary, as a number of va
cancies occur next month, and it is
not thought that any of the present
incumbents will secure a new lease of
official life. There are many appli
cants for these places.
The Postmaster-General has author
ized the arming of every postal em
ploye on all the railroad routes where
there is danger of the depredation of
robbers. This precaution has been
taken on account of the frequent at
tacks of robbers upon postal cars.
Many of the Interior Department
clerks developed a tendency to gath
er iu and about the office of the Com
missioner of Patents the past week,
the attraction being Bob Ingersoll,
Roseoe Conkling and Frank Hurd,
who were engaged as counsel in the
noted Telephone patent case. Mr.
Conkling is ageing quite rapidly, but
Ingersoll looks as rosy and rotund as
when he made his oelebrated Plumed
Knight speech, nominating Blaine.
