I'OJIMUA, ul" KANSAS. e Hum- Mix Life was Onre Savrl hy a Friendly Virginian. In that famous campaign known a "The WaUarusa War," Co!. Al exander W. fonts was on the fct.iff of Gen. David K. Atchison, who l,al charge ot the prf Javciy ior.s It was on the Wat- arusa that an in cident occurred winch caused Sena tor Toineroy to ever atfrward hold Jones in grateful remembrance Pomeroy had made his appearance in Kansas, a short time before, ar.d representing the New England Emi gration Aid society, he had scatter ed Sharp's rifles and incendiary ab olition sentiments with considerable effect. Atchison heard so much bout the bad influence of this new abolition leader that as lie marched into Kansas he offered a good round Mini for I'omerov, dead or alive, and issued a proclamation to that effect. IIHINGING IN A PRISOXEK. Jones, vho had knocked about on both side- of the border, knew Tome roy, and he was about the only one in Atchi-on's command who did. Onedav'hirv- came into camp a scouting party, bringing a piisoner. As usual they went at once to head quarters. Atchison had been trying to get some sleep, and the ariival aroused him. lie raised liiinelt up iroiu the blanket, and vvilll iii))t!iiig but good humor, looking at Pome rev, demanded : Who in are you?" 'Stranger,' replied Ponieroy, rais ing his hands in a deprecatory wax, l'ni an humble followet ofihenu-ek uul lowly Master.' VOU,' s:iid A'chNon, feel ing around in his blanket, 'I believe you are one of these Abolition ists.' 'Stranger,' drawled Pomcrv, 'please don't take the name of the Lotd in vain.' Atchison found what he was look ing for, and, raising the bottle to his lips, drank. Jonesl' called Atchison. 4Then for the first time Ponieroy saw hU acquaintance, and his face showed that he thought his lad hour had come. The aid stepped forward. Jones,' continued Atchison, 'take this crank outside the lines, and make him understand that if I catch him prowling around my camp again I'll stretch his neck.. 'i The ..'young Virginian and the Yankee Abolitionist walked to the edge of the camp. Jones .aid : 'It was a close call for you, Pom.' 'I'll not forget you said Pome- roy, looking a volume, and they parted. To this tune Oen. Atchison has never known that he had in his hands the man upon whose heid he had tet a price, and who certainly wuld have been hanged that day on the Wakarusa had the Virginian re vealed the identity of the prisoner. At last Cot. Jones was captured and sent on to Washington for dis position. His case was to be, a kind of precedent for dealing with Price's men. On the way Jones made terms with his guard. When they reached Washington they didn't go to the Old Capitol prison. They set out to find some of the prisoner's friends, and the first one they tound was Judge Stanton, whom Jones had known y ears before as a member t the Kansas territorial court. And the next acquaintance the former staff officer of Gen. Atch ison renewed was with Pomeroy, then the head and front of the Kan sas contingent ot statesmen at Wash itigton. Ponieroy,' said Stanton, present ing the raiher unkempt-looking rebel from Missouri, here's a man you ought to remember. Yes,' replied Pome roy, 'the face :s certainly familiar, but I don't quite place him." "I am a follower of the meek a"d ' commenced Jones, raising ;is hands with a gesture ol humility. 4 Jones by thunder! sjid Pome uy,' 'What are ynu doing here:' Tin; situation xsa explained. Co;xieuith me. s.ud Pcireioy. sud tl.e dd)vayoiu d psrty went to t!KWliin- Hcusc. When thev came t ut they walked over - the war !e paitmet-.t. Atter they got through y ith iVir business there hK guard from M"-u ' without a job. Jones went to a hotel, carrying in his pocket a duly signed and certi fied bit of raPr reading: Col. A. W. Jones of Sterling Pi ice's forces is hereby authorized to pass througli the iines A couple of hour later Pomerv entered the Virginian's room. Jones' said he, under llu- ci'.n m-'ances it won't do lor me to be seen with you. My advue to you is to 'o to Can a la and stay there till this thing is over Here's something that will help for expenses. When Pomeroy went oat Jones opened the envelope and counted $500 in new greenback. The Vir ginian took the advice lie went to Canada and remained there until the xvar ended. Tnen he went to New York and drifted into speculation He made some money and moved to Woodborn whence he entered the New Jersey legislature. Time passed, and Pomeroy was out of the senate and under a cloud. Jones had never seen him from the time they parted in Washington in lS6t. He calculated the interest accruing on that $500, diew a draft for the whole amount more than double the loan and sent it to Ponie roy. The reply c ime hack: 'Dear Jones: I've got enough to last me through lite. Please con nibute this To the cause of the ivutk hi el !u 1, Master.' I divided ii anion.;' three needy New Jersey chuiches," said Jones. 4 Pxvo t.t thtfin have done well. The third has gone all to pieces under a disgraced pastor. I don't know whether there is any moral in ths ov not.' Cor. G lobe-Democrat. UUK WASHINGTON LETTER. Washington, D. C.,Feb. i,S6 The colored people ot the District are complaining that although th are invested with all the rights ot citizenship under the law, still they aie discriminated against by the bus ines men ot Washington. They late that they are denied on accomv f color privileges enjoyed by white people in places of amusements, in restaurants, hotels, lunch rooms, on steamboats, &c. &c, Thev have consequently petitioned congress tor relief, and Senator Ingalls has intro duced a bill amending the license laws so as to torbid and prohibit such discriminations. Fred Douglass was one of the petitioners. The pressure brought upon Mont gomery tor positions in the patent office has become so great that he was compelled to dismiss this week fifteen employees to make room for applicants. This is the largest dis. missal made at one time in any of the offices. The commissioner re sisted the pressure as long as was possible, but at last had to succumb to it. The positions were all outside of the classes covered by the civil service rules. Many interesting and profound speeches are looked for in the debate which will soon arise in the senate on the refusal of the President to to give his "reasons" for making re movals and appointments. The senators of both parties are prepar ing for the debate, ar.d it is expected that there will be more speeches de tivered on this subject than on any question that has arisen for years, certainly since Andrew Johnson's term. The republican senators are determined to stand by their party friends in office, and the president is equally determined not to be depriv ed by the senate of the exercise of his prerogative of making appoint ments. The question really is what is meant by the provision of law that the 'president shall appoint by and with the advice and consent of the senate." The speeches when com piled will constitute an exhaustive exposition ot that great constitional question, and it 1.. thought that there will be many demands for copies by libraries and indlvidm's from a!l parts of the country. The house and senate has passed a resolution providing for thercmov ir from the foot of the caoitol ground ot the statury group, recognized only in name by al' visitors to the Capitol as the "Peace Monument." In its stead is to be place-' a stnute of Columbus, and in view ot the lat ter, towarus tne otocr end ot tne grounds and opposite the entrance to the Botanical Gardens, will be placed a stat'i'e i Ivfaye?te. The troubles of the Signal .Service J Bureau are mumplviug. isecond Comptroller May nan! .; yjt made a report upon the accounts jm! cx- j penditures ot ;'it s, ivi..t , in which j he charges that hundreds . thous ands of dollars hav !".-n thegaiiv expended, anil no stith" :irnf vouchers i picsented therefor. Keprri ntative Robertson, of Kentucky, has offered jn tht house a resolution directing an inquiry into these representations, and a report of such measures as will prevent vioiatio is ni t '.:. 'a -.v. The co ii:i -v on c! ivm in the house contemplate training a bill to refer to the court of claims for proot and st ttle .eut i I n ye class of claims xviich can only be settled hy con gress. No well devised plan has yet been settled on. but different propositi is are Iving informally C-nldered, and after of tiiem have been considered a plan wiJ be formulated and submitted to the house for .idop'ioii. For this reason comparatively fev claims referred t the court ot claims for adjudication the ca'en lir ot the n use will be greatly reduced, and then measures of a nature cm rciv.- more atten tention at the hands of congress md great puHijc good xvill result. Tiu- bo.i l ,t t.-.rt'ticanons have recommended to the president that congress be asked to appioprnte $I.32v3' tor i iiir..vm t.ns i.n.ne diate defenses to trie utnonrtl cp1 tol.

Hampton Roads, it xvill be re nem iered, is where tne famous comest between the Merrimac and Monitor took place, at the hegrum-g ot the late war, just opposited F t Monroe, near Norfolk, Va. The safety at the capitol against approich by water d -pends up inefficient de fenses at Hampton Roads, an 1 hence the board has made its recommend ations. The estimated cost ot pro viding for these defenses is $S.S 1 5 500. The president's first evening re ception was held Friday night. Nearly every stranger in the city was present, besides society people in general. A large number of the wives ot senators and members grac ed the spacious parlors The floral decorations were most elaborate, and the elegant and costly todets ot the many beautiful women present made a scene of splendor never excelled. Besides this public reception the president has arranged for three oth er receptions during the season. The others are what are known as "card receptions to which only those hay ing cards will be admitted. The first will be to the diplomatic corps; the next to the army and navy, and the last to the senate and house ot representatives. Refreshments are furnished at all the receptions, and no money is spared in ministering to the aesthetic and epicurian tastes of the guests. H. Consumption Cured.
