Such an act, would not be oppos ed by the Government.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
Spcci&L Correspondence to the
NEWS.
WASHINGTON. Jan 24. 1881.
In sixteen days the two Houses of Con gress will meet in joint convention, to announce the rtsult of the Presidential election. Two of those days will he Sundays two will be Saturdays, on which no work is done. Two will will probably be spent in consideration of the electoral resolutions, and two iu wrangling over the new rules, giving two days of wasted time to this last named subject is not treating it. fairly, for it takes up more than an aver age of one day per week. So, prior to the meeting in joiut convention, there are really but seven days for work, making a xeasonable allowance for wastage between that meeting and the 4th of March, and we have fourteen more working daj's— twenty-one in all. If half the necessary business of the session is done, therefore, it will, as is usual in short sessions, be hastily and crudely done, and much.of it in the last days and nights before the Fourth. Proper consideration can not be given to the Funding bill, the Re-apor-tionment bill, the Bankrupt bill, the InterState Commerce bill, the Ellis bill, concerning government use of the leleg'raph, bills relative to the Electorol Count, the more important of thq appropriation bills, or any of t|ie other of the numerous measures pressing for action. I say nothing of contested election cases, private claims, etc. This is not a state of things creditable to Congressmen, or of advantage to the people generalh\ Two remedies have been suggested. One is that the meetings of'Congress should be fixed at an earlier day—say in September or October, instead of December, and the other, such changes in the rules as will Rive to majorities more complete control of the time of Congress. Observation shows me that this last change would not be effective. Majorities are not always anxious to forward public business, or minorities to delay it.
Then again, a majority ip the House has already quite as much power RS is consistent with the idea of representative Government. Much labor was expended on a revision of the rules two years ago with an intention of obviating dangerous delays, and the best men of the body took part in it. They had a succsss of which they are all ashamed. The trouble lies deeper than the rules, for the Senate, in which business is done to suit the con vonience of individual Senators, rather than under rules, disposes of work more rapidly and more satisfactorily than the House.
It is possible that meeting two or three months rfarlier might be of advantage. It is worthy of trial, at least. Or, though have never heard it suggested—certain committees of the House might be authorized and required to sit in Washing ington during portions of each recess for the consideration of matters left unfin ishcrt daring the session. Or a Co»nt, or other independent body might be organ teed to sit during ttye year, and to report to Congress fully upon those numerous private claims which now take up so much time. It is agreed among all intelligent Congressmen, especally the more experienced ones—that a change of some kind is a neccessity. KNOX

BlacK Jews.
TV Jewish World gives some interesting details as to the social and religious customs of the black Jews in In^ia:
The majority are natives of the Mambar coast, where, especially in the city of Kotschim, they reside in considerable nuniljers. It is said that they are the descendants of the Jews who were sent to India by Kin$ Solomon to capture elephants for his use and to work in the gold mines and that their skins, in the course of three thousand years, have entirely changed color, so as to make it impossible to distinguish them from the .rest of the natives. They know little Hebrew, that language having almost died out among them. Their mother tongue is the so-called Hindi, which is used in their scriptures and prayerbooks. They also possess a bible, which is not printed, but written. Of the holidays tney only keep the Sabbath and thn Passover, the Day of Atonement being entirely unknown to them. In the preparation of their food they differ from other Jews, as, during their three thousand years' separation from the rest »f their co-religionists^ nearly all their original customs and manners have died out. They live separately, to this dav, from the white Jews, as the latter do not regard them as actual descendants af the Jewish race. As an answer to this the colored Jews boast of their lek ters of freedom given by an ancient king of India, and another one of King TscnandrackupU, who lived in the time of Alexander the Great. They do not call themselves "Jews," but "Sons of Israel," and they maintain that they are in possession of a number of autograph prayer-books written by the patriarchs. They live Hgnorant, earn in the field
