EXTRACT from another Letter.

WAsnISGToS, March Is, 1890.
The unanimous rejection of the nomination of Hen
ry Lee 10 Algers, has led to the expectation and
even belief that some of the other nominations which
have beer sent in to the Senate, will share the same
fate. There has been some discussion with closed
DOORS during the present week. and has that
this discussion has had reference to of those
limitations which considered the most exception
able. But the results yet postponed: and another
week may probably eapse before our suspense on the
subject will be relieved The Senate did not sit to-
day.
The public appetite for Mr.. Webster's speeches
seems daily to increase, instead of suffering abate-
ment from the lapse of time. The demand of the
pamphlet editions must set calculation defiance, as
to the number which may yet be required to satisfy
the wants of the people every where. / have Just
seen letter from intelligent gentleman, a recent
member of Congress, who says that the effect which
has been produced by these speeches in the interior OF
New York, surpasses any thing within his know
edge and that this single effort Of Mr.. Webster has
| accomplished more than men of great talents have
usually been able to achieve in whole life He
states that all eyes are directed to Mr.. Webster.
We find ourselves in the House Of Representatives
in all the misery of Tariff discussion, in spite Of
the resolute manner in which the House evinced their
sentiments, when the bill from the Committee Of
Ways and Means reported I cannot divine to
what extent the debata Mr. Anderson's resolution
will be permitted to proceeds but should it continue
another week, we shall have ample display of
the power of elimination and rccrimnation, and as
disagreeabc n of confusion, dscord, i'll feeling
and vituperatve eoquence, we have witnessed for
years, to the utter extinction of all business and
the annilation of the hopes of the numerous ndivi-
duas who are here with their claims, waiting for the
tardy justice of Congress. Mr.. Speieht Of North
Carolina, and Mr. Campbell of South Carolina ad-
dressed the House to-day, not much on the subject
of the resolution before it, the wickcdncss of the
Tariff System: and both these gentlemen, to Judge
from their language, ready, while they repudatc
the name of disunionsts to advise, and Join in such
acts ofhostilty to the General Government as must
eventuate in dSunion. Mr.. Speight declared him,
self disposed to 60 tho length Of declaring the Tart,
unconstitutional. of opening the ports of the South
without the authority OF Congress, and appointing
collectors without reference to the National Execu
tive, and Mr.. Barnwell expressed sentiments which
were in unison with those Of Mr.. Spcght. Several
members started for the floor when Mr.. Barnwcll
concluded but the allotted hour had passed away and
the combatants have some eight and forty hours ar
msticc allowed them.
The rejection yesterday of the bill for the relief O,
Susan Decatur, must have the effect of destroying any
hopes she may have entertained Infringing Congress
to her terms. lis known that bill might have been
passed. making moderate compensation for the SER
vices OF Com. Decatur, giving to his widow perhaps
about Sa0000-but this she has obstnatcy refused ,C
accept being determined 10 have all which she desires
or nothing lfshe has been unable to have ALL even
with the Executive recommendation TO back her an
pcation to Congress in which the Executive has Sc
great majority, it's fair presumption that she will
be constrained to put up with nothing; unless she
should far abatc of her demands, as to be content
with whatever Congress may choose to give.
