FROM WASHINGTON.
Correspondence of the Jeffersonian Democrat.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 26th, 1858.
Il Ii "rtet$$ lime" with Congress now.
This it a now feature, and is a sprout from
tho root of tho "Salary Hill." Tho tossion,
without any vacation, is quito too thort to
transact tho businost already before Con
gress. No party it responsible fon this
movemont, as it wat tho joint act of Dom
otrata, Americans and Republicans. Novor
tholots, it it all wrong, and it equivalent to
an indufmito postponement of discussion
on tho President's most extraordinary Mes
sage. Tho Government organ, (the Union.)
tii'ioro the recess even, sounded a nolo of
triumph, that tho Message had not boon as
failed by tho Opposition and drew the
natural inforenco thorofrom, thut it wat im
pregnable in all ill positions. When Con
greet ro-asscmblot, wo thall bo told that
"thero it no titno tor long tpoechet against
tho Message; that alroady ono-third of tho
session it passed, and noilher tho Appropri
ation Hills nor tho privato claimt againtl
tho Government have boon under considera
tion nt all and that cxclusivo attention to
thoso it indispensable." Thoso considera
tions will bo doomod a sufficient apology for
letting tho IYosidont and hit Cubinot go
uncastigntod fur tho atrocious doctrinot of
tho Mussago, and for allowing hit friends,
tho 1'illibustoit and Cuba pirates, to have
thoir own way, without exposition or robuko.
' But oh 1 it is tho time of tho Holidays,
and gentlemen aro anxious to onjoy thoso
with thoir families." Very woll thoro it a
way In which this may bo done, without
detriment to tho public tcrvice, viz : by
staying at homo when thoro aro no Holt
day, as woll at running home when thero
aro Holidayi. I do not with to bo a grum
bler or fault finder ; hut lam confident tb'.i
this cnurtuif tjionding nino working days
out of eighty tho wbolo working t;.no of
tho tossion is, to lay tlio loatt of it, ap
propriating near one lenth of tho liino du
ring which honorable gcutlomon had agruud
to labor for Uncle 'Jam at wngoi, to thtir own
vie. Hut rur Undo is a vuty patient old
gentleman, und will probably luririvo his
truant cnildron, provided they ''redeom the
ii.-iu uy a uiiigunt application ot iiiu rusi
uuo of it to their appropriate duties.
Should the people bu a little anxiout to
know what fate awaits the revision of the
'I'jiritF lift rfnniiimiitnl..ii in thn Mimihuii I nn
only s'av that do i.ol know; but I w..ulil tay
it witli this qualification, ttiat it is my opinion
that they will bu obliged to wait until thoy
can make sure of a House of Representa
tives which will prefer a revision of the Tariff
to tho success nt a party. I ho tlimculty
with tho Democratic party is not that its
.Voi'Mcra members aro-not many uf thoin in
I'uvor of protecting home industry, but that
they dure not push this measure, against the
wishes of their slaveholding associates.
Tho Free Stato Democracy are dependent
for oflicn, on tho Southern Democracy; and
hence they neither havo, nor can have, any
praetirul pnncidra, uilvorso lo the interests,
real or imagiuud. of the slaveholders. The
mission of thii Fren State Democracy ii, to
aid tho Southern Democracy to obtain the
dispensation uf the Gorui"iinei:t patronage;
and thoir roward is, to receive such of it as
their masters may see fit to dolo out In
thorn. Iloyoiid this, Ihny daro not go, cither
for a I'rotoctivj Tariff, or for any other
measure distasteful to the .Southern politi
cians. Tho l'oiinsylvaiiiit Democrats havo
received such a warning as may possibly
bring them up to tho nicking point ; hut

The Old and New Hall of the United
States Senate.
On Wednesday, tho Senatn of the United
Statot romovod from thu old II a!!, which had
been tho scone of to many intellectual con
tests, into tho new. Wo givo a telegraphic
summary of the proceedings of that body,
upon thu interesting occasion :
Tho Senate met at noon in tho old hall,
from which the desks had boon removed,
but a supply of cane boimmuj chairs had
been provided for their accommodation.
The galleries and floor wore crowded not
withstanding the falling snow, it having been
understood thut tho Vice President, Mr.
Crittenden, and others would speak.
Thu proceedings as usual opened with
prayer mid tlio reading of the Journal, after
winch Mr. Stuart of Mich , mured thut as
many ladies wuro enprovided with teats in
tho cutlery, would bu admitted to the tlnor.
Mr !l.:mliii, of Mo, objected to tho
ground that tho admission of ladies would
embarrass thu Legislative business, conse
quently tho Indies wuro not admitted,
Mr. Davis, of Miss., submitted the roport
of tho Cnnimiltuo stating that tho new
Chamber was ready.
Mr. Crittenden moved tho adoption of tho
roport. The parting from the chamber he
thought wus uu event of much solemnity.
Many associations many of them pleasant
und proud ones, bind ut to this chamber.
It hut been tho scene ot great events -Questions
of tho American Constitution
questions of great national imparl qu
nuns of peace and war. hv 1m debated
in mis ciiuihbur. Great moil had frequent

not been surpassed in Greek or Roman his

voices.

will carry with them tho inspiration of their
predecessors. They will leave behind them
no iota of patriotism or atiaohmnent to tho
Constitution, those, our Household Gods,
are carried with us. The new ball will bu

remain thu Senate of thu Unitod (States, tbo

serving the sovereignty of tbo Statot, aud
the integrity of tho Union.
The Vieu President addrostod tho Sonate

various seats of Uovoriiiuont until itt locu
tion at Washington. Ho then nurrated the
burning of tlio Capitol by tho British army.
The assembling thereafter of the Congress
In Modioli's Hull, on tho lito now occupied
by the geuerul Post Office, and finally the
assembling in 1813 in the present building.
He then went into an interesting compaii.
son of tho character of tho Senate in tho
early days of thu Government and now.
Thou it' was almost wholly an Executive
body, and much ot itt business wus transac
ted with closed doors. Thu President ofion
took part in dub.iies, and it wat nut .for
many yean that galluiiul wuro provided fur
spectators.
Ho spoke of iho great mission iho nation
has luililluil. and is destined lit luilill ; urged
upon houutors a due appreciation ot tin.1

While tho matt of spectators were settling
themselves In placet, several momoriali in
audible in Jho noise, but apparently of a
private nature, wero presented, and Mr.
Mallory, from Ilia Naval Commiltoo, ropor
tod a bill to build ten additioaal sloops' war,
which was laid ovor. Ho taid ho would
mako ao effort lo obtain an early voto upon
Mr. Mallory also Introduced a bill to raiso
the pay of tho officer! of the navy.
Quiet being restored, tho Senate appro
priately devoted the rest of the dav in Jn
cussing Mr. Johnson's (l'enn ) motion' In
structing the finance Cotninitteo to investi
gate Into the expenditures of tho public
money, and report Iho meant to bring the
expenses of the Government within Iho lim
its of rigid economy.
Mossrs. Johnson, Howard, Biglor, Fossnn
don, Toombs, Shields, Davis, Collamor, Ma
ion, Stuart, Clingman, Roid, Green, and
others took part in the debate.
All agreed In the necessity of rotronch
moot, tho only point debated being whothor
to refer Iho subject lo the Finance Commit
tee, or a Special Commiiico of seven.
Without action tho Senate went into Ex
ecutive sossion and upon opening the
doors, Mr. Hunter introduced the first op-
fropriation bill of the toaion, namoly, the
ndian. Pension, and Military Academy Bill,
aftor which the Senate adjourned.
After further remarks which wore listen
ed lo with wrapt attention, iho Senato pro
ceeded in a body to the New Hall.

The Slave Trade in the South.
That thu trudo in slaves Irotn thu African
coast is revived in our country thero seems
to bo little doubt. The Savannah Republi
can states the fact without reserve. The
blacks brought in the yacht Wanderer from
Ati ica have hueii landed, carried off into the
interior, and dispersed among the planta
tions, where, doubtless, the government will
never find them. The sumo method has
been udoptod hero as in Cuba ; a clmidos
tino approach to the coast, a lauding effect
ed at siiinii itnt'roqiiiiiiiuil spot, anil a r.pid
partition of the naves among dealers, who
uro notified beforehand, and are ready with
securo plnces for bestowing the human cur
go. Our governinent.uf'ter all this has been
accomplished, sends its agents and arrusts
three men, who will probably escape con
viction, us most rnguos do, aud will then be
ready fur another speculation in African
negroos, which find a much butter market
here than in Cuba.
All ihis is precisely what might have boon
expected. Southern politicians havo begun
lo clamor fur the reopening of the African
slave trade Southern politicians are con
lending that Congress hut no authority to
make laws prohibiting or restraining that
trallio. Ii is a righteous, humaiiujegal.con
stiiutionul trullio, according lo them, wrong
fully ami unconstitutionally obstructed.
Whure this doetiiuu is pruache). Ihuie will,
ofcourso, bu tiiund men who 'ill practice
according to it. Thoy will take courage
from iho public avowal ol such doctrines j
thoy will understand that they have friends
and backon in high placet, in legislative
bniliet.purhupi on the bend) and among lice
officers of justice ; thoy will expect thai
thero defenders ot their innocent and laud
able vocation will do their best to screen
them from punishment.
Such aro the enc.iuragoinonts which havo
given rise to tho enterprise of tbo yach:
Wanderer. The cause assigned fully ac
counts for tho eff.ict. - Other cargoes of Af
ricans aro probably even now on thoir way
to our southern coast ; whoro the traders
expect to find ready markots.securo lurking
places, zealous udvocules, lenient judges and
friendly jini-s.
Thu other day Mr. Buchanan said in his
Mussago that with thu posmissiun of Cuba
by thu United Status, " the lust relio uf the
Alrican slave trade will disappear. The
worus were scarcely roiirinled in this citv
when wo hail news of thu appoaranco of the
Alrican slave trade nn the coast ot the Cut
ted States. How can nur government put
down tho sluve I radii in Cuba when it can.
not prevent il bore? It is now pretty cer
tain that if we should possess Cuba, with
such Presidents its we have lutoly had, the

Troubles in Southern Kansas.
The St. Louis Democrat has a letter
Irotn Ossiwatomie, of Dec. 23, which
gives its version of the lute Fort Scott
troubles as follows :
During the last few months there lias
been contiued in Fort Scott, a young man
by the mime of Ben Rice, for some of bia
Jay-hawking peccadiloes during the past
cnuu. nn menus nau uejtrminea to
release him, and accordingly lam Thurs
day evening, the 16th inst., a large num
ber of his pattisans made their appeal ance
at Kirt Scott, demanded hi release, which
being reluxed, the door of the prison was
smashed in, his chuius, by which he was
fastened to the floor, were chopped loose
witu an axe, ana men a chisel was pro
cured, with which his chains were cut
loose from his limbs, and he. with his
manacles flung over bis shoulders, was
paraded oil' lor home. - During the affair
a Mr. John Little was killed by a Shape's
ime unii, Buimig mm in uie lorehead,
tearing it 0)en and leaving htm a most
horrid and bloody spectacle. Several
other allots wore tired, and two of the at
tacking party wero wounded, and a store
pillaged ol its oontents.whicu were carried
oil by the assailants.
One story bat it, that Mr. Little was a
United States Marshal, or a deputy, and
that he was killed while defending the
prison; another report is thut he was in
his store when killed, and that a sister and
his affianced wife were by him, or in an
adjoining room, screaming for his safety.
Il ll is true that he was not defending the
prison, il will be readily seen that the na
ture of the offy nee is changed. All ac
counts agree that he fired the first shot,
and that it wat in reply to this he was kill

The Tragic End of a Murderer!
In June last, at Columbus, Conrad
Siebuld stabbed Henry Korrell with a
large butcher knife in the region of tho
heart, and John Fronenbcrger struck the
victim of ihefr violence on the bend with
a stone. I lie murder was an unprovoked
one on the part of Korrell. Hit murder
ers have been in the Franklin cptmty jail
awaiting trial, and a week ago Sunday
they escaped with eight other prisoners.
Siebold remained in the vicinity of Co
lumbus, and on the 1st was discovered
and pursued by three police officers. He
ran across a field, and when the officers
came nertr he turned upon, and with pis
tol in each hand held them at ly, threat
ening lo kill the first nvin who attempted,
the officers firing several sho t from small
pistols at him without eirect. The chase
lasted some hours, a number of people
joined in it, and the bloody finale is thus
given by the Statesman :
Seibold finally got on the track of the
Central Ohio Kailioatl, aud took refuge in
the first bridge over Alum Creek, about
three miles eatl of this city. Seibold
went ever to the east side of bridge, slop
ped and swore he would kill the first-man
who attempted to cross the bridge, at the
same time pointing his coi ked pistols at
the officers, who attempted lo persuade
him to lay down bis arms and submit,
promising lo treat him kindly and using
every possible argument. Seibold told
them he would give them twicethe amount
of the reward il they would let him go,
and that he would never be taken alive.
Jlalf an hour was spent in thui parleying,
when the officers sent to a neighboring
(arm house and procured a loaded rifle,
with which they hoped lo intimidate him.
Bui the dcHprratu man was not lo be in
timidated. Officer Whito took the title,
aud called upon him to surrender, saying
that they were determined lo arresl him
dead or alive. To Ihis Seibold made no
reply, but stepped to the end of the bridge,
where the stone embankment i about
twenty feet high. As the officer was
about, to raise the gun to his shoulder,
Siebuld turned his back to the crowd,
placed the muzzle of his single barrel pis
tol between his teeth, tired. MnJ fell head
long down the precipice dead ! The
officers and a number of others who wit
nessed this terrible scene, rushed to the
spot, but the desperate man was convuls
ed with the mortal agony of death ; a
slight tremor wus nil thu evidence of life
he exhibited alter he was reached. An
immense amount of blood gushed from his
mouth and nostriU.
So ended the life of the desperate and
hardened murderer and a more shocking
or terrific end could not be imagined.
Seibold was a butcher in Columbus,
aboul filty years of age, and left a Urge
family in the most agonizing distress at

End of the Cancemi Trial.
The c iso ot the Italian C.tiiuumi is ono of
Iho most remurkublo criminal trials on rec

slaughter in the lint degree, it being bis
fourth trial for tho murder of Anderson, the
Policeman. On the first trial the Jury were
itiubiu to agruu nn a verdict, ten being in
favor of finding him guilty of murder, and
two in favor ot his ucq iiltal On tho sec
ond trial he wus found guilty of inuidor.and
thu sei.tenco was sot nsnlo by tho Court ot
Appeuls, on tho ground that the Juilgii in
Ins charge to the Jury had neglected to make
any allusion to the plea of previous good
character. On fHo third trial ho was again
found guilty of murder, and the vorilici wu
"itgitin set ostdo and a new trial ordered by
tlio Court of Appeals, on tho ground thai
his conviction wus illegal, tho verdict having
boon rendered by a jury 001181811111; of but
eleven persons, though his counsel had con
sumed to such an arrangement, lie is now.
on his fourth trial, convicted of manslaugh
ter in Iho first degree, by u jury ol twelve
men, ten of wbon, it is staled, wore in f'.ivni
of bringing him in guilty of murder. Thus
out of thu forty seven jurors to whom his

pronounced him guilty of murder. Proba'

M.irderuus Assault. Two despera
does in Cheri T Valley, assaulted Dr. Les
lie, also of that lowi.ship, ()n iho evening
of the 2-Itii iust., with murderous intent.
The circumstances as we learn them are
these : The doctor was traveling on one I
of the streets in his sulky, and was met
ny ono oicL'iughlin and amther confeder
ate who engaged him in some personal
conversation, and while thus engaged one
of the men stepped behind the doctor and
dealt him a blow with a heavy club, aim
ing at his head but which fell on his shoul
der. The doctor received one or (wo se
vere blows when he jumped from the sul
ky and engaged in his own defense, his
horse at the same time becoming (l ighten
ed ran off. The doctor was pretty severe
ly handled, and so stunned that he lost
conscousness lor a time; but on recover
ing found himself without hat and over
coat, the ruffians having fled. Our infor
mant says a hundred men of Cherrv Val.
ley turned out in search of the ruffi ins,
and had succeeded in arresting ihem.
The result of the examination we have not
learned. A gang of desperadoes have
long been a source of annoyance to the
law and order citizens of Cherry Valley,
and no doubt this murderous assault was
planned In reveuL'c for the Doctor' . m.
cieut and resolute efforts lo rid that c m
munity of the rascals. At the last term
ol Court one of these was arraigned for
crime, and another of the gang perjured
himself and was sent to the penitentiary.
