WARRINGTON LETTER.
From our Special Correspondent ]

From our Special Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, D. G.. Dec. 10, 1877.
Yesterday was one Of the few days since
October 18th that this Congress may Justly
be proud Of. In the House there was
digniaed debate upon the Mexican ques ion,
and members of both parties united in wha,
must be considered warning to the ad.
ministration against plunging the country
into war. Your correspondent has not
failed, from the first, to expose what he
believed was wicked as well as formldo'
effort Of certain powerful gangs - ,Aole
lators and adveptursrs to t"~ II specu-
countries in hostilities. There wa nsra,
more danger Of the success or ucb a scbems
than yesterday, and It is to the infni,e
credit Of Representatives. Hewitt, Hale
Stephens, Garfield Ind others that tbev
said and did what will certainly cause the
administration to halt, If it was, as feared =,
about to take steps which could end only
In war.
In the Senate Mr.. Eustis, Of Louisiana
was admitted to his seat, and not by a
psrty vote.
For the record Of yesterday, 50 far as
these facts 70, the House and Senate are
entitled to the thanks Of the country.
Senator Matthew's spoke in favor of his
resolution, which is to the effect that all
debts of the United States may be paid in
silver dollars Of 412H grains each. The
speech of Mr.. Matthews was an able one,
but the most interesting portion of the de-
bate was the unreserved manner in which
Mr.. Thurman advocated remonetization of
silver. .-..
justice Harlan, of the Supreme Court
was yesterday sworn in and took his seat
The way Edmunds was beaten 10 this case
Is amusing. He was well known to be op-
posed to confirmation, ard it was thought
If he.was present whsa, a vote was to be
taken he would, without making himself
conspicuous in tAe matter, set the party
machinery to work to cause a rejection. So
the friends Of Harlan called up the subject
10 executive session while Edmunds was
taking 3 needed repose after the Butler.
Kellogg contest and confirmed their man
Then they made a motion to reconsider the
vote of confirmation, for the reason, as they
said, that "Senstor Edmunis, chairman of
the JudiciGry Committee, WAS absent" If
Harlan had been rejected after that the re,
sponsibility would have been on Edmunds,
and the result shows that he did not care to
have the subject go to the country in that
shape.
An instructive statement of the cost of
public printing in South Carolina for two
years is made. One year was under carpet
bag rule, when Chamberlain, Patterson and
the rest had the State by the throat, and
the other is for the current year. The car
pet-baggers took s25O,0oO The cost for
this year is about $4,000. All your readers
who live near State capitals well know
what quarreling there always is over the
few thousand collars annually expended,
and how each party charged the other with
extravaganza in that line. What would
the people of Maine, or Connecticut, or
Michigan, or any other State of no larger

The speech OF Judge Sampson,
Member OF Congress from this Dis
trict, giving his views on the Conn
promise bill, appears on this page.
Though we cannot endorse Mr.. Samp-
son's theory and reasonings upon the
subject, we cheerfully accord him a
hearing through our columns. The
choice Of President was made at
the polls, the results in the various
States had been canyassed and ascer-
tained by the State authorities, Civ
ing Mr.. Hayes majority OF the cleo
torai votes, and we cannot see why
Congress should allow itself TO barter
or put In jeopardy that
legally sscertained result, except
for the reason that the rebels
and copperheads were threatening
war. We regarded their threats,
however, as mere bluster intended
only to frighten and intimidatc In
order to gain by compromise, what
they failed to gain by murder and
intimidation at the polls. But now
that they have succeeded In securing
tho passage OF law to their liking,
we accept the law as law. The de-
cIsion OF the Commission under the
law must be regarded as final, though
we shall not regard 1t as proof OF The
true result at the polls.
