WtsHISGToS, Feb. ,, 1873.
The struggle rapidly approaches, and every moment
makes the news Of the preceding moment stale; 20
that II may be the whole matter will have a definite
decision before you receive this. | will give YOU
however, what learn to be the determination of bch
sides.
If the Select Committee be voted, then its members
will be named by the House itself or the Speaker
who is fair man. and WILL in accordance with lmme-
mortal usage name members, majority OF whom
shall represent the views Of the majority, as expressed
in favor of the resolution. .;
Mcssrs. Clay of Kentucky, Dewart of Pennsylvania,
and Haskn of New-York who were Committee oi
Democrats to wait upon the President, were received
AT the White House last evening. There was fun
and free conference Mr.. Buchanan said to Mr.. Clay
that whatever vote he gave on the Lecompton Con.
stitution would not far he concerned, sever
their friendly relations. The Administration, TOE,
seemed to admit that if fraud detected, would
sflo ct the admission of Kansas under Lecompton.
There was nothing done at the caucus of the Demo
cratic members OF the Pennsyvania Delegation
They stand seven to seven, with one absent.

TESTIMONIAL To THE REv. Dr.. McLEoD.-In the
month of December last the congregation Of The Rev.
Dr.. Mcleod, in the Twelfth street Church, between
Sixth and Seventh avenues, addressed communication
to their pastor inviting him to devera discourse before
them in commemora;ion Of hs twenty five years minis.
Try in this city. DR.. Mcleod, in compliance with the
wishes Of his congregation fixed the 18th day Of Jan
uary as for celebrating the event. that day being the
twenty-ftth anniversary Of his installation; but 81
accident which he met with few weeks since render
ed postponement OF the celebration necessary until
lest evening" when the Interesting event took place.
After the opening devotional exercises were con-
cluded Mr.. Brown OF The Trustees of the Church
read the correspondence which had taken place be-
tween the Trustees in behalf of the congregation and
their esteemed pastor and then addressed the latter
considerable length, expressive OF their appreciation
Of his services among them daring a period Of %

A COMPROMISE.

The correspondent Of The Philadelphia Nsrt i~er
icoR writes:
There is reason to believe that compromise is
encouraged in high quarters, with the counsel OF
Southern men, to admit Lecompton aud refer the
Slavery clause back to the people, qualification
to admission. And it is understood the President r
well inclined to this plan as mode of pacitcstion
though il will not be recommended in his message.
From indications to-day, the friends Of the Admins.
trstion are discouraged at the prospect of carrying
the Lecompton Constitution through the House, and
eoncede the detection to be greater than has hereto
fore been represented. As the hour of decision draws
near the courage of those who endure aud would cn.
brace, begins to falter They the handwriting on
the wall with the finger of the Nebrasks bill sterHy
pointing TO an inevitable doom.

WHAT LOOMS IN TIE FUTURE.

CorresJtDdeuce Of The Charleston Mercury
WAsHI.GToS, Jan. %, 1888.
Events here are threatening. Kansas will be here
by Monday and the fight will begin upon the present
alton Of the Kansas Constitution.
The latest and most authentic advices show that
P1o-Savery have carried the elections, aud that
all the State machinery is in their hands.
The effort Of Pro-Slavcry men ia Congress VIII De
10 hitch Kansas to Minnesota and bIng them IN to-
gether, The Senate Committee have already reported
a bill for the admission of Minnesota. The Committee
intended TO unite Kansas and Minnesota by delaying
the report upon Minnesota until Kansas came but
Douglas in the absence of couple OF those support
ing Kansas took a snap Judgment and got report.
An effort Will be made in the Senate TO unite them
The House Committee will put them together The
result j. somewhat doubtful. Instructions from
Northern State Legislatures have shaken many OF the
hitherto advocates If admitting Kansas. The South
ern III may be able to muster them back again,
but it not certain. Kansas will be made test of
party all sgaDce and the will be put TO every
one who wavers, and every one who deserts will be
marked down. Tie Administration is night now, and
must be backed up. IL is rumored that there i
difference between Gov. Walker aud Judge Douglas
one holding the Kansas bill TO be an enabling a.,
the other denying it. 1t is thought Kansas will bs
brought in, but after desperate fight. The South
Is more united than ever before, and the Moth Is
less divided. Events are hurryng us 10 an unequiyo
cal sectional struggle. Ii Kansas be rejected the
South will repudGte Democracy. Thinss are coming

From Oar Own Correspondent;
WAsIuNGToN, Tuesday, Feb. ,, 1859.
Who is j. d. Williamson of Trinity Building,
Sew-York isa question which much exercises
the qudnuucs of the capital just now, and to which
no one seems able to give satisfactory answer He
appears resolved to set at defiance the House of Rep
ressntatives, and is said to be prepared to test by
legal means his right to refuse to obey the sum
mons of the Sergeant-at-A The case Is similar
in appearance though not in substance, to that Of
Col Chester the correspondent of The Philadelphia
ssxirer, which came up last Winter during the in.
yestgation into the affair Of Matteson, Gilbert, Ed
wards DC. The subpoena served on Col. Chester
contained clause torbidding him 10 quit the City
Of Washington without the leave of the Committee.
Overlooking this clause Col Chester, supposing that
he would not be wanted immediately, went to Phila'
dephis where his family resided spend few days
Ibe Committee, under the impression that he was
eontumscl0us aud had fed TO avoid testifying, OBJ
famed an order from the House directing the
Speaker to issue his warrant of arrest. The Ser
Eeant Arms proceeded to Philsdelphia, and
ioano Col: Chester entirely willing to appear be-
lore the Committee and testify, though the amount
OF hls testimony was that he knew nothing az ,ll
about the affair. Col. Chester did not wish TO con.
tend with the House Of Representatives and hal
no occasion TO; but Mr.. Williamson is understood
10 fnteud 10 resist The call for his evidence having
taken legal advice in the matter. 1t is an import.
ant constitutional question, and ought t. be Get.
tied. II is desirable that the precise rights and
powers Of the House and OF private citizens should
be defined beyond dispute.
A good deal Of Importance has been given in the
House aud the Senate TO a statement sigued by H.
