Washinzton Letter.

Wasutneron, D. 0., Dec. 4, 1877.

The following items relative to Confederate war prices during the last years of the war are interesting to note: In the spring of 1865 a barrel of flour sold in Richmond for $1,200: a pound of bacon, $25, and the price of sugar was $75 per pound. Turkeys sold at $25 per pound, butter $50 per pound, ezg 330 per doz- en, and apples $5 a piece, while other neces- saries of Lie were dear in proportion. It seems scarcely possible that such a state of affairs ex- isted only twelve years ago. We think the colored race has almost stood still since its emancipation ; but when we come to consider how the war found and left it, we cannot fail of secing wonderful advancement. I have been mteresied in ascertaining about the Standing of this matter in the District of Coluiabia, and have been amazed that so large a namber of those berngs who weve indeed but little above the brute vuly a decade ago, should have made such progress. Jam astonished to hear num- bers Couverse intelligently, giving evidence of taste, refinement, education and intellectual culture. Howard University educates and prepares negroes for the ministry, and every year sends into the South preachers and work- ers among their own people. The colored schools are al! taught by colored teachers, who have been prepared for their work at a normal school established shortly after the war in this city for the purpose. A need is greatly felt now for more of these schools here. “Those now established are full, and hundreds of chil- dren pass their time in the streets, who would be in school were there any accommodation for them. A wide-spread interest now exists throughout the country concerning the destiny of this race of people. Many deep thinkers contend that it 1s doomed to extinction, taking the ground from the fact of the undue mor- tality among them and the steady decrease in their percentage. The Siberian Emigratjon movement still goes on in the South, though discouragements are thrown before it at every step. ‘he last objection presented to the blacks is that they cannot live in the climate of Siberia, after dwelling in America for more than a century. But they are still agitating the movement, and hundreds of thousands have already joined the emigration bands. Our city has not worna very merry aspect of late. The “‘ Huron” disaster spread.a very | dismal pall over many a home here, and the whole town felt the etfects, for the officers of the unfortunate vessel were all well nou here, One of the singular things now t to light in connection with this accident, is the following : Last March while the ‘‘ Huron” was lying in the harbor of Port Royal, 8. C.,

ve officer, left the * hours’ leave of ab- sence and, failing to return at the expiration of that time, the ship sailed for another port without him. Upon Fletcher’s return, he re- ported to Com. Celitz, “senior nayal officer | present,” and told him that sometime previous he had had a presentiment that if he finished the cruise (two years) he would perish by ship- wreck, and that, failing in his efforts to get detached, he had purposely absented himself till the ‘‘ Huron’ should have sailed, For this offence he was placed under arrest and tried by court martial at the Nayy Yard in this city last August, his only defence being that he was so essed of the idea mention- ed, so haunted with it in fact, that it was im- possible for him to go. For my own part I am not superstitious enough to believe premoni- tions of this sort, but the case in question is a’ matter of record on file ‘at the Navy Depart- ment, and, no doubt Mr. Fletcher is fully con- v-need that his warning has ret to be a true one by the wreck off Kitty awk,

rovided the rest. Since 1523 all the Popes fave been ‘selected from Italian Cardinals. Seventy Bishops of Rome; belonging, with very few exceptions, to the epoch preceding the establishment of the Temporal Power, have been proclaimed Saints,§ Of the two hundred and fifty-two Pontiffs, not including St. Peter, eight died within a mouth of their elevation to the Popedom, 40 within a year, 22 were seated between one and two years, 54 from twoto five years, 57 from five to ten years, 51 from ten to fifteen years, 18 from fifteen to twenty years, and 9 more than twenty. Pius IX. in the years of his

ntificate, surpassed in 1874 the Roman

ontiffs, except the Spanish anti-Pope, Bene- dict XIIi., Luna, who, elected at Avingnon in 1394, died at Pensacola, near Valencia, in 1424. In respett of age, he has been su as yet by a very great number of his predeces- sors. There died at the age of ovar 82 years Alexander VITL. (1689-91), Pins VL. (1675-99) ; at $3 years Paul IV, (1595-59), Gregory XI. (1572-85,) Innocent X, (1644-55), Benedict XIV, (1740-58), Pius VII, (1800-24), between 84 and 86 years, Paul III, (1534-49), Boniface VIII, (1294-1303), Clement X, (1670-76), Inno- cent XIT, (1591-1700), between 90 and 92 years, John XII, Pope of Avignon, (1316-34), Clem- ent XII, (1730-40), at the age of 100 years, Gregory IX, (1237-41), nephew of Innocent III, the most violent adversary of Frederick II, forced on several paoen es os a Rome. Up to the present during the distinct- ly iskecjoal en yo Pope has died between 86 and 90 years of age; the only one who sur- passed 92 died a centenarian.

[A Ten ‘Rhousand Dollar Breach of

Promise Suit.

Some years ago, as it often happens, a you lady and genticman became acquainted, anc in time their attachment ripened into a stronger feeling. Shortly after, the young man went to California, in hopes of making a fortune, where he remained for two or three years, while she, a young lady of good educa. tion, taught school in: different parts of the county. As a matter of course, correspon- dence was carried on regularly, and she care- fully kept his letters, that she might bave them as a memento, should he not return, not dreaming at all that those precious epistles should at some future tune be useful in a court of Taw, for the edification of Judge and jury, and the amusement of those who frequeas courts of justice. Abouta year ago he returi - ed to his native place, but it seems that living under a Republican Government has some- what changed his ideas on matrimonial matter ° He refused to marry her ; whereupon she brought an action for breach of promise against; our brave hero for ten thousand dollars, as damages for blighted affections, &¢.

The Trial of the English Detectives.

The jury was only forty-five minutes out in consultation. The demeanor of Meikle joun on hearing the verdict, and subsequently the sen- tence, was wonderfully calm and impaasive, In the words of my informant, ‘‘ he never turned a hair,” but maintained throughout the sullen, gloomy expression which has characterized him during the whole of the trial. The few words which he addressed to the Judge were pro- nounced without a falter. Druscovich,

was calm. He did not seem disposed to sa anything, and it was not till his counsel, Mr, Douglas Straight, turned towards him and said in an urgent tone, ‘‘ Druscovitch, if you have anything to say, say it now,” that he opencd his lips. His remark that he would not have set up the defence he had if he had not wished to screen some of his brother officers was very significant, and he made it all the more so by the look which he cast at one or two of his colleagues iu the dock, Clarke's ac. quittal, which was pronounced by the foreman of the jury with marked emphasis, was hailed by the crowd with a loud, genuine cheer of sag tisfaction ; and Clark himself, who had evi. dently been expecting it, brushed his forehead with a rapid movemeut of his left hand. and cast a radiance glance round the court. Then he ane back quickly in the dock out of the row of his colleagues, as if he w say, “Thank God. Lam notin that Lot.” Pal. mer’s appeal for mercy brought tears to many eyes. As the mention of wife and family—he has six children who will be totally unprovid- ed for—his voice broke with emotion, and on sinking down upon his seat he leant upon the front of the dock, with his face in his hands, and sobbed. Froggatt’s ap- peal, though less dramatic was also touchy ing, he almost gasped for mercy, so to speak, All the prisoners’ received theit sentences with downeast eyes and in silence, except Froggatt, who threw up his hands and exclaimed, ‘ My God! Do make it less, nry Lord,” He seemed to have been expecting clemency. As the prisoners were being cor.ducted from the dock to the cells. below the Court, Clarke seized Palmer’s hand and pressed it affectionately, They are old friends, not professionolly, but privately, Thislong trial having thus come to an end, the Court was speedily cleared, though not without a threat from the Judge that. he would commit some persons who, having heard all that they deemed to be of interest in the case, greatly disturbed the latter portion of the proceedings by their noisy endeavor to leave the Court. It is said that Kurr and Benson left large sums in cash and property to be taken care of until their penal servitude hag expired.

The Countess of Aberdeen, who was married about a fortnight ago, has been robbed of ‘* wedding presents” to the value of about £6, - 000. The robbery occurred at Halsted Place, Sevenoaks. The thieves, as in similar pre- vious robberies, gained admission to ‘the dressing-eoom by a ladder while the family were in the lower apartments. £500 reward is offered for the capture of the delinquents,

A smile went round St. George’s church, Oshawa, one Sunday recently. A legal gentle- man had given orders to a local tradesman to upholster and carpet his pew, and the reci- plent proceed to act thereupon. On Sunday a gentleman who occupies the pew adjoining to that of the legal gentleman aforesaid, waa very much astonished on going to church to find his pew most luxuriously fitted up, and the legal goutbicion was very much astonished to find that his was not. The wrong pew had been uphostered. The two owners stared at their pews and the rest of the tion ine at ve owners, and acinomae until the difficulty (cont to all | precedent), was adler euiieile by the two families changing seats.
