OUR WASHINGTON LOTER. WASHINGTON, L>. G., Dec 1218?1. Senator Statiner, with either a lauda? ble desire to benefit the people of the country, or to strike Gen. Grant in a vital spot, introduced his bill to abo1* \ the office of Commissioner of Inter il , Revence and to reduce t?ranos. Sena? tor Sherman's objection against refer? ring it to tbe Finance Committee showed that the measure ia not very palatable to the Grautites. Senator Thurman, came to Sumner's rescue and tbe bill was referred. 1 he last conundrum now is, what ?ill become of it f It viii never see daylight, or if so, will be strangled in its infancy. Grant did not mean that any Radical should take bis recommendations fur retrenchment liter? ally, hence such a practical effort as this mast be promptly checked. The administration, in order to acquire a reputation for honesty, at a cheap rate, put forward the bland blonde Cockling to call for an investigation into the Hodge defalcation, but this virtuous dodge would not work, for Senator Trumbull proposed a resolution to in? quire into all the stealing which was going on. Mr. Trumbull was very severe on the present condition of affairs. Grant's tools took ground against tbe proposed inquiry, and as the debate was growing very warm and damaging to the defenders of a corrupt administra? tion, which shunned investigation into its acts, a motion was made to go into executive session, which was carried bj a vote of 31 ajes to 26 noes. A few more debates as damaging as this one, and thc administration will have nothing but bayonets, carpet baggers and eifice holders to support it, that is if the peo? ple read and think. That the resolution will be voted down, can be determined bj the action of the House voting duwo Fernando Wood's resolution jesterdaj, in which he wished to place the Radi? cals on the record for retrenchment and reform as announced in the President's message, but they all voted against being so placid, and the Senate will follow suit. The very latest is that Georgia loses a cabinet officer and Oregon gains one. Akerman goes out and Williams-ex Senator-comes in. The Legal tender cases will soon be decided. There will be at least five written opinions, quite diverse. R. W. Taylor writes to the Commis? sioner of Internal llevenuc that upon consultation with Secretary Boutwelluit bas been decided to refond the tax paid by judges of the State courts on the salaries received by them from their respective State treasuries." This is io accordance wirb the decision of the Su? preme Court in the case of Day vs. ^uffington. . From what I can glean respecting the Ohio senatorship, it seems that John Sherman will not be returned to thc Senate. His brother Rads canuot agree upon him. Senator Shermau does not drscrve such treatment, as he has made great sacrifices for his party. From being a half fair seri of a conservative, he has stooped very low and wallowed in the mire of party politics, being most bitter in his per.-ccutions of the South and truckling to the bidding of his master io the While House; and now to he thrown overboard is enough to male him loso all faith in human, or rather Radical, nature. Bingham, "the woman hanger," is saidto be ahead for the succession. The Finance Committee, which have during the sutMtier been engaged ex? amining the suhj.-cts of tariff and taxa? tion, have decided to report in favor of consolidating all taxes on distilled spirits into one, a tax on the gallon of about 70 cts. This is in accordance with Senator Sumner's idea. A uni form "tax on tobacco will also be recom? mended. The Way? and Means committee are large'y io favor of revenue reform, there being but three protectiooists on that committee. There is but little doubt that the} will report a bill revising the tariff and the internal revenue law at au early day. This being in direct conflict with the priocipies of the Radical party, the question arises, have they stolen the Democratic thunder for partvpurpo ses, or have they leatned something from tie events of the past few years? They are su?*h late converts to our * principles, in thi* respect, that even did I not know their previous bad character, I should doubt their since! ?fy. The House amnesty bi!) of last session was reported to the Senate by one majority This bill grants amnesty to all persons except those who were in the army, navy or Congress of the United States Qud quit the same to join the Confeder acy. A bill giving amnesty to ail would be a grateful christmas present to the South, and would savor of ?encrosi ty; but alas! is there auch a thing as Rudie*.! generosity ? The Democrats have decided not to n cei ic cancun until after the huli d?j*v Toe anti Grant Radicals have so far ?y'do no advance? for a coalition except t/j aoggtei that the "one terra" princi? ple for the Presidency be adopted in all future platform*. The sore beaded Bedicaii came to Congress with the hope that proffer* of recondliatioo would come from the White House and a por iio* of the administration pap would lo-/ it their direction, but their hopea J1 have not bee? reallied; w Grant ' be can roa tbe nwcbiue withrat them, A systematic attsckysueh as inaugurated by Sumner sod Trumbull yesterday, will bb doubt follow shortiy, when Ihingi will be jolly for tbe press gang if not for tbe Administra ti CD and G?ner?!

Go?. Geary, of Pa., waa present. A Remarkable Boy Mechanic. We have on our table a complete j working model of a horizontal stean engrfee with tubular boiler of the loco-1 motive type, separate from the boile the workmanship of which would co eredit to an experienced mechanic j Every part is stated to have been mace i by Master C. T. Mason ( at the age of fourteen years), Sumter, S. C. Notbirg j is omitted, even a miniature steam ga<e being supplied. Master Mason will, if he continues to progress, be a mast sr mechanic at aa age when boya in gener? al bave scarcely an idea beyond tops ?nd marbles. He will please accept o :r thanks for sending bis engine for our inspection,and oar predictions that, if lie j lives, he will occupy a distinguish rd place among the engineers of thia coon? try. Few men could beat the execution displayed in bis working miniature engine, which, in its details, indicate ia knowledge of steam and the laws of no? tion roost remarkable in such a you h. Let Master Mason apply himself dili? gently to tbe stody of mathematics, mechanics, and drawing, and there tan be no doubt of his future.. We may add that this young mechanic received a silver medal as a first premium on this model, from the Agricultural and Me? chanicsl Society of South Carolina at its fair of 1869.-Scientific American, Nov. 25._ WEDNESDAY, DEC. 20. A, A. GILBERT .ED TOR Tbe Ka-Kl ax Trials. The trial of ROBERT HATES MITCH? ELL, of York County, before the U. S. Court at Columbia, now in progress, has elicited general and unabated interest, aod been attended, from day to day, by large crowds. The evidence closed on Friday last, and the pleading? began on Saturday, Attorney Geo. CHAMBERLAIN leading off on the psrtof tbe prosecu? tion. The evidence addueedby the defence was very full and strong, going to F how the terror that reigned io the np country in consequence of the threats of leading radica! negroes to burn and kill. It was abundantly proven that JIM WILLIAMS, (the negro Scott-militia captain,) whose hanging is involved in the pending case, frequently declared, just previous to bis death, that he would "kill from the cradle to the grave," "ko klux women and children," and "burn np the country io every direction " That he had as mach right to arrest and make war as Sherman-that Scott would turn Uh the money, and that be would rule tbe country or destroy it. On the other hand, the whole Ki Klux organization of York has beeo thoroughly unveiled-names of shiefs and members, dates of initiation, raids, &c, and who composed and led .hem, being all alleged-with what arno mt of truthfulness, of course, we do not under? take to *ay. Tbe verdict of the Jory, rendered on Monday, was guilty under the cccond count- conspiracy against Jim Williams. Notice of a motion io arrest of judgment was given by Mr. Stauberry. Charleston Freights. "A shipper," on another column, in noticing the competition io freights be? tween Charleston and Camden, naturally brings np the situation of Sumter, io this connection-without competition. And the matter should doubtless be kept before the public mind. It would seem that there is want of energy, and enterprise and oommeroial progress somewhere : that Charleston should not be io s position to compete for tbe large carryiog and other business of thia region. The South Carolina Central seems to linger in the womb of time, and we hear ofuo other "break," which a pent up commercial bit nat ion such as this, it would seetu, must speedily make 1 A shipper" says, rou a DMD ch from the Camden road to Sumter. But has such a thought ever entered tbe minds of the managers o? the Sooth Carolina Hail Hoad ? Larger mattera-bigger things-it may be, engage their thoughts, and yet. we are bcaad te tey' that Charleston's enterprise, (tookitig to h LT owo interest) seems to be asleep, at thia point.
