WASHINGTON LETTER. From our Regular Correspondent. Washington, Jan., 28. The United States Senate has done at least two notable things this week. It has given the Brittish Lion’s tail a vicieus twist, and it has again refused to give the woman who waut to vote a change to submit the Constitutional amendment on Woman Suffrage to the ito Legislatures. It is interesting to be reminded now American then that Eagle i furnished ample proof of this. The occasion was debate on the bill empowering the President to close the ports of the United States against Canadian inports, as a meas ure of i etaliation, in case Great Brit ain persists in violating her treaty ob ligations by subjecting American fish ermen to indignities and outrages in in Canadian waters. Senator Ingalls thought it was time to settle the fishery difficulties either by negotiation or by war. The meas ure under discussion was distinctly one of retaliation. It was an eye for an eye, a fish for a fish, an insult for an iusult. Countries had been inundated with blood on less provocation. Senator Ei ye declared that the an- bals of history—even of the Fija Is lands—might be searched without find ing cases of outrages so brutal and in humane. All these cases, he said, had been brought to the attention of tlie Brittish Government. There was net a line in the history of England for the last 300 years that gave the slight est reason to believe that in the pur suit of gain, in the pursuit of trade, she would ever permit the right of an other to stand in the way of her pro- gie is. Senator Morgan thought the law could be enacted without blood thisty threats, and Sonator Vest advis ed cantion. When the caues of woman came up in the Senate on Tuesday, there were abont a hundred ladies from all parts of the country—leaders in the woman suffrage movement—in the Senate gal lery anxiously awaiting ths result. Blair, of New Hamshire, wo- •e best. friend, had premised to Make an sffertto get the question up fbr debate at this hour. The pet meas-. nre of several Senators were in the way as unfixed business, but- they gal lantly voted against their own bills in favor of the ladies. Senator Beck was one of these. He had intended to bring up this preventing Members ,of Congress from acting as attorneys for railroads, and he mentioned that a dis tinguished lady (Miss Anthony) had sent in for him three times the. day try hSk the proposed amendment was again rejected. The disappointed ladies in the gallery repaired immediately to the Metropolitan Church, where they open ed their nineteenth annual convention in Washington. There they discussed man in general and the lawmakers of the United States in particular in lan guage suitable to their outraged feel ings. It was sad to see Miss Anthony, that grim resolute veteran of woman’s fight for woman, just a little discouraged. After waiting and working so hard for forty years, she acknowledged that the promised land seemed yet a long way off. She knew that woman must have all her rights in time, bnt there was no telling liow long she would have to wait. Mrs. Shattuck, of Massachusetts, who is a fine speaker with a fine voice, thinks it will be at least twenty years before all the women of the United States will be able to vote. She divides the women who do not want to vole in to six classes: First, the prejudiced; second, the uninformed; third, those who are afraid of their gentleman friends; fourth, those who always shirk their duties; fifth, those who shirk from new duties because they fear their in ability to perform them well, and sixth, thoso who fear the influence of the bal lot on immoral classes of woman, and who think there is too much voting al ready. She gave an eloquent account of the good women are doing in temper ance, in labor unions, in lifting up the degraded everywhere, and closed her speech by an earnest appoal directly to her audience, to enlist under th© banner of those who ask for the ballot. BELLVIEW DOTS. Ths farmers of the neighborhood are quite busy preparing their compost heap in order that they may make more cottom- There certaiuly must fee some money in cotton. The hard rain on last Sunday night (the 23d) was thought to bo quite an advantage to the small grain that was left from the severe cold. Wheat is doing very well, and if warm weather contiues, it will not be very long be fore we can look out upon the fields and behold the lovely green color of wheat, which is thought to exceed oth er shades of green in beauty. The farmers will plow up the fields where they had oats sown in the Fall, and sow again. “The way of tho far mer is hard.” Miss Eula Widoman, of Mississippi, who is out on a visit to her Aunt, Mrs. D. J. Wardlaw, of McCormick, spent several days with her relatives iu this neighborhood last week. She is quite a lovely young lady, and we would be lad if some youqg man, iq our midst, i mm f the beautiful river. , ' „ V "Mr- T. A. McAllister, of Mount Car-, mel, is around this week, driving a very fine horse to one of the “brand new” Domestic wagons. He presents quite a gawdy appearance. Tom is a hand some gentleman, and some of our young ladies will do well to accept his worthy attention. J. K. H. THE DIRT ROAD TO HEATEN. Sam Jones, tho great Georgia evan gelist, who is travelling the dirt road to Heaven’ is making quite a stir among the saintly people of Boston, and is drawing immense congregations. So far as the reports go he has uot yet cursed John Sullivan or villified the base ball players, bu t he has gone fur ther and attacked the various religious denominotions right and left. The other day he assailed the Baptist by saying: “Hero is a Baptist preacher ringing the changes on water, much water’ and psrhaps'a large proportion of his people are fast going whore they won’t get a bit to cool their parched tongues.” The^‘true inwardness” of this con temptible, vulgar assault will bo better understood when it is known that the Baptist clergymen of Boston turned their backs on Mr. Jones and refused to have anything to do with him. It would be better for the cause of good morals and true religion if all the oth er clergymen should likewise give Mr. Jones tke cold shoulder. He would doubtless, preach on and to larger con gretation* than ever, but self-respect ing Christians would hare the gratifi cation of knowing that Mr. Jones, like Buffalo Bill, was returning bis show on his own account.—Netos and Courier.
