Special Correspondence Ua Agilalor. WASHINGTON, May 13, sessions of the Senate during the two weeks Sevc have been characterized by their usual 1n 'jj, jy notony. With the exception of three or four very long and tedious speeches on the Spofford-Kellogg contest, nothing has trans pired that body of any general interest. It is doubtful nether a vote will be reach ed on'this case during this session If it sbould, it is believed there will be a sufficient number of Southern Democrats found voting with tlie Republicans to keep Kellogg in bis seat It is perceived by certain gentlemen who hold their places through the operation of fraud and violence combined that the questioning of a Senator's title after be has been once admitted would bo establishing a pteccdent which might prove dangerous to themselves when, thro' the mutations incident to politics, their op poncnts shall have regained the ascendency. In the House there has been more, of ac tivity The members have discovered that hot weather and the conventions are close at hand, and they have resolved to crowd out all business except the appropriations, and if possible adjourn by the 1st proximo.

It is to be feared, however, that they fail to take into account the outside itftractions of the coming week. The spring meeting of the National Fair Association opens on the 17th, with the best stables of the country represented, and good running promised. If there is anything in which Southerners take special delight, it hi a horse race It is therefore the opinion of the undersigned that predictions as to the lermination of the session can be made with greater accuracy a week hence than at tnc present writing. Of the subjects which have been or are still before the House the following are among the more important The report in the Curtin Yocum contest, in which the Committee on Elections proposed to steal another seat, but were defeated on Tuesday by a vote of 118 to 75, tbe transfer of the Indian Bureau to the War Department, recommended on the general principle that it would hardly possible to treat the Indi ans worse lhan before, while the are doing well, and reports from several large vineyards in eastern Kansas predict an unusually large Jicld.

present Governor will be a candidate for re election, but in all probability will be defeated in the Convention. As is well known throughout the country, St. John is a great fanatic on the temperance question and father of tbe prohibition amendment to be voted upon this fall. It is more than likely the amendment will carry unless the people change from the course they are now pui suing, but if 3t John is the nominee, bets are freely offered thai a Democrat will be Governor of the Republican State of Kansas for the two years. The Slate is full of temperance orators who have been and are now canvassing every county in favor of the prohibition amendment, and ho claim that they will carry every county except five It is evident the people are not so crazy over this question now as they were six weeks or two months ago, and the large number of German? voters, mostly Republican, suy that if Gwernor Si.

The Blaine men in Kansas feel greatly en couraged by tlie action of New York and Pennsylvania. Railroad building is progressing on at least five of the Kansas roads, wliile tbe great Irans continental line, the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe, is being pushed through to tbe Pacific coast as rapidly as men and teams can do it They have al ready reached Santa Fe nnd Albuquerque, In ISTew Mexico, and the latest advices say ccrslmight be a vast improvement as compared with ttie thieving contractors anu" abidu by the wisbes of tbe district Conven- agents, through whose blundering or rascal tion's. then the political forces of Conkling ity we are perpetually at war with some and Cnmeron. who biive so long controlled tribe the Legislative Appropriation bill, which proposes to expend about $16,000, 000, aud the grand log rolling scheme known as tbe River and Harbor bill, which appro pnatcs over $8,000,000. It is proposed to put this big grist of jobs through the hop per nest Monday under a suspension of tbe rules.

A large number of amendments are ready to be offered by gentlemen whose dis tricts have been neglected, but it is believed there are enough interested in it to secure its passage, as at the last regular session, with out doitmg'an or crossing a The remark may as well be made here as an) where, that while the Democrats of tbe House hesitate to vole fabulous sums for improving unheard of rtvere-so long as it redounds to their ow personal interesls, they howl dolefully about economy whenev- ei considering the question of -supplies for auy of the executive departments They seem to act upon the prfnciple (or the want of principle) tbat they must never appropriate the sums deemed necessary by the officers whose business it is to prepare the estimates. As a result of this policy, we now see the Post office Department without funds to pai for lighting buildings for the remainder of the fiscal year, and all the night operations of offices throughout the country are suspended except where Postmasters are willing to provide light at their own expense The most contemptible stinginess is thus exhibiled in the face of an overflowing Treasury to tbe extent of crippling the public service, and all for party ends.

We halted at twenty-five before reaching the end of the road. At Kenosha we reached the summit Kenosha range at au altitude of 10,105 feet--the high est point reached by rail in the United States. Some part of the road has a grade of 218 feet to tbc mile. At this point we were up in the snow, and the atmosphere on, the, entrance gate to the Rocky Moun tains. Wo whirled through the rocky pass at a frightful rate.

There is just room to get through, the rocka towering far up anf cpvered with snow. The overhanging roclf would sometimes cause a shudder to come over us; but had one broken loose we should have been out of tbe way ere it ur train new like the Russian exploring expedition. was so chilly that we were compelled to have a fire, although when we left Denver the road has been completed to a point 100 five hours ucfore. the sun was very miles beyond the last named place. The officials of this line think that by 1881 they will have their road completed and in running order to the coast, notwithstanding the opposition of J.iy Gould with his immense mfluence and wealth to (kfeat it.

He owns the only line, as yet, to the Pacific coast, and has done everything his power, by fair or foul means, to prevent the building up of another powerful railroad corpo ratioa from the Missouri river to the Pacific ocean Gould has fought thib company in every conceivable way. He has tried to scare them into selling; he has used his immense wealth lavishly to prevent the sale of their bonds, and he tried to head them off from gelling au eastern outlet. But Ibis gigantic corporalion met him face lo face and beat him in all his schemes. W. Strong, one of the oldest and ablest railroad managers in this country, is Vice-President and general manager of the road; and to him more than to anybody else is the rapid extension and the successful financial condition of the road largely due.

The whole counlry will hail with delight the completion of this road. It passes throuj Five persons were burned to death at Chatham, Ontario, a few days ago.

The Whittaker Court of Inquiry reached a climax last Saturday with the announce ment that the experts agreed in the belief that tbe note of warning whtcb the colored cadet said he had received was written by Whittaker himself. Whitlaker most emphatically denied this charge Under oath, and behaved with great coolness and discretion Under the bullying examination of Recorder Sears. It is said the satisfaction of nearly all the officers at West Point, be cause of this evidence of tbe experts, was very apparent.

But those officers hardly appreciate the true point of the cae. Whether Whittaker is guilty or innocent is a question of minor importance. If he is Innocent, a great crime has evidently been committed by some connected with the Post. If he is guilty, it is evident that the social feeling existing there and the treatment he has for Ihe past few years received at the hands of bis fellow-cadets and the officers led a cool, tricky and calculating scamp to believe that it would be easy to induce the authorities and the country to believe that bis associates were capable of i an outrage. It is not.

He says- I shall certainljt do my level best. I guess the man who wins will know that he has been to a boat race. I do not underrate Hanlan I would rather row any other man on the globe." The in dications are that if the elements are propitious, we shall have as exciting a trial of speed and skill with single aculm next Wednesday afternoon as has ever beLsecji. on tbe continent.

Ex-Governor Shepard and family have left ibis city for a stay of several years in tbe far-off Slate of Chihuahua, Mexico, and they bear with them the regrets and kind wishes of the entire community. Born aud raibed in the District, Aleck," as he was familiarly called, was formerly hated by the old slave holding class because he was a thorough-going Republican, and was denounced as a chief of innu treble rings--by the wealthy Rip Van Winkles, because he plowed up the streets all around them and compelled (hem to pay taxes. They had his every official act investigated repeatedly, but they found nothing upon which there was a stain. Through the depreciation of values which followed the crisis of 1873 he lost a vast estate, and now has gone abroad to repair his fortune by operating ihe long famous Batopilas silver mine. He leaves Washington a beautiful, growing city, its broad avenues graded, paved and parked and adorned with hardly tain snows for two and three weeks al a time, and it will make Gould come to lime on tlie exorbitant freight and passenger rates that he has been charging ever since the northern road was opened for traffic.

Each passenger had to register, and as his name was called take his place ip the coach. Each coach had three scats inside, and each seat was to hold three passengers, and there vias room for three more outside.

We that were inside were packed tightly, I suppose to keep us from bursting. And so we started on our way np the Arkansas river over tbe roughest road ever traveled by man, I verily believe. There were hundreds, of freight teams on the road--eight mules to each team and two wagons coupled together. They reminded me of the army trains during the late war.

The navigation of the Missouri nver will be more general this summer than it has been for years.

The season is much earlier, and there have already been a dozen or more boats up from St. Louis, some going up as fur as Fort Benlon, and others laden with freight for river points. Those going to the mountains are generally filled with commissary stores for Jhe upper Missouri river forts as well as 'with Indian stores. The writtr well remembers that before any railroads were built in Kansas, during the summer three or four boats would touch our levee daily. Now if that many.boats reach us in a month, people will flock to Ih: levee as though they had never seen a' boat before.

During my fifteen years' residence in Kansas I have never known such high winds as have been prevalent this spring. For three and four dajis at a time they would blow a hurricane, filling the air with dust and sand, and blinding people.

The State Convention is to be held to-morrow; and at this writing there deems to be danger that it may result in a division 1 of the party in the State.
