Extract of a letter, dated
WAsHINGfoN, Dec. %, 1881.
Washington has been much enlivened for Sc
veral days past. by the members OF the Baltimore
Convention, who came here for the purpose of
Do wing their respects TO MIR. Clay. and other dis
tingushed statesmen, and to see the two houses
of Congress in Session, or who have tarried with
us on their return to the Senate. These gentlemen
have been much gratihed in their acquaintance
with Mr.. Adams, Mr.. Clay, MIR. Webster, Mr..
Calhoun, and others. Many dverting anecdotes
if his observations could be collected. and printed
in pamphlet, the proprietor might well afford
to pay the expense Of taking out patent. He
entertains no doubt but that the general prospe-
rity of the country is alone owing to the wise
measures recommended 10y him. nor that he has
originated the whole of our financial SYSTEM
On one occasion he remarked. that if there was
not dollar in the Treasury he could carry on
the operations of war, and defray the expenses
without either levying taxes or borrowing money.
On being asked how he would provide the ways
and means for sustaining our army and navy, he
replied that was perfectly easy-why, said he, [
would issue bills payable at four and an half or
five per cent. interest, He says, the payment Of
our national debt will have moral influence in
other countries anG that he believes it will cause
other governments and nations to pay off their
national debts. When talking about paying of
the national debt, he frequently becomes quite
enthusiastic. On recent occasion, he said he
would pay off the national debt in nine months.
The Serate, that sturdy and, as he says, - OBJ
stinate body" has began "to pester'' the old
gentleman again, bv rejecting one of his nominal
tons. He brought pet here from Tennessee by
the name of Gwin. and gave him a good snug
berth in the post-office. The President thought,
and in this Mr.. Gwin seems to have concurred,
that an appointment in the post ofice-was not
sufficient reward for his services during the Pre-
sidential contest; and he transferred him from
the post-ofice, to land Office in Mississippi.
Whether vacancy was created for this crony.
have not understood. His nomination was def.
nitely acted on in the Senate to-day, and reject
ed by about two to one. Mr.. Polndexter, it is
said. is not altogether pleased with the ndignity
offered to the State Of Mississippi. by sending
partizan clerks to fill important Offices in the
State he represents; and he speaks without re-
serve as to this, and some other nominations.

wi e>PoRdenf, da,,I
k'cHioSO, Dec. a4th, 1881
DEAR Sin: had not expected, when L..
wrote you, To have been $" long silea, IT,.
lay has bera occas'oned by a variety # ,...
among which, indisposiinn. and the ,A..,
any very important matter 10 commun,,..I
not been the least. You viii have learned ss
the papers Of this City, the progress Of bo,;,
in the House since my last. Two subjects onl, y
general interest have been touched H..
question Of gradual emancipation. wh;c, VIZ
(prematurel!y) debated last week, upon matt
to refer petition from sundry citizen. IS
County of Hanover, and one from the Society,", :,
Friends lin which the proprlety Of prO,;Jn. ~
law for the manumssion Of the future ;D,,s,,
OF Slaves was strongly recommenGeh ,o T..
Committee on Free Negroes, &C.. The d.h,,.
was warm and animated, and conducted ,it
considerable ability on both sides. The u0t,,
to refer, finally prevailed BY large majority
But thls cannot be considered as test Of the d.,
position Of the Legislature to take stand in ,.
Iation to this all important matter. Many a.,
supported the reference, did SO merely "a mr.,
mote enquiry, and that the subject mic ut BE- .,
amined in all its bearings with view Of putin,
it at rest. 1t is believed, by many. to be iuDo.
Iitic and imPracticable to frame any law, A, iii,
time. having for its object even remote and 81,
dul abolition; and that the public mind would be
better satisfied by thorough investigation. IT,.
subject will now be fully before us, ard bors
may receive that attention which its imDor,ue.
demands. Slavery is admitted by all to be A.
evil; but how to get rid Of it asreeably to ,le re.
sources Of the State, and without nterfpring
with the rights Of individuals, is question which
even the knowing ones seem at loss to deter.
NINE. The report OF the COMMITTEE of Court.
of Justice, adverse to extending the Jurisdiction
OF single Magistrate to greater sun than SaO
is the other subject to which refer Nc. Gholsor
moved to reverse the decision Of the Committee
and, in an able argument Of considerable Length
portrayed the evils Of the present law. Afer
protracted disc ussiun, the motion to reverse pre-
vailed. But think il doubtful whether b.
can be framed which will meet the views Of al
parties. You will have seen, that the de-.
sion Of the last Legislature, upon the que,
ton Of the constitutional qualification Of
citizen Of Richmond to represent the County d
Hcnrico, has been reversed; and that Mr.. VII
liams, VITO was returned for the county, has be-.
elected upon the ground Of his ineligibty, b.
ins a resident Of the city.
