OUR WARRINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON d. C., June %, 1877

WASHINGTON d. C., June %, 1878.
Mr.. Potter's Committee will accom-
plish much in showing how desprra''
were the expedieuts Of Republican
leaders in securing false c"nnt /"
the VOTES 10 1876. 1t will do as grra
service i'll showing how hailow ar'
the Professions Of civil service reform
on the part Of those who shared TIE
plumber. 1t will show, in addition t.
all that rrformrr received and dis
tributed tho stolen goods, knowing
them to have been stolen. We knew,
for instance, that Mr.. Hayes bad given
office to nearly all the prominent mtn
who went South in his cause, and bad
rewarded by peace the more inhnen
tial Southern men who, after Tiiden' :
election, were conspicuous in their
efforts to count Hayes in But we
did not realize therxtent of the bar
gaining that 10 and his intimate
friends among the retormprs had with
the scnrvy rogues who did the dirty
work in Florida and Louisiana. IRE
FORM isa word that will hereafter
ruin the party speakingt.
The regular business of the Com
mittee for tho last few days has not
been of an exciting character. TO.
day Mrs. jerks will testify. I'm
known to most, she has been in the
city for several days and in constant
intercourse with the attorney of Sec'y.
Sherman. The point on which she
is to be examined lis as to the pxjS
tence of a latter, said to have been
written by sherman in which he
pledges protection and reward to two
Louisiana officials who contemplate
making false statements in order to
give the State to Hayes. If the Com
mlttee has permitted Shermans at
torney to prepare replies for Mrs.
jerks it is not likely that her testi.
moDy will amount to much. what
ever she may know. She is tho wo-
man said to have had the letter in
net possession.
Two old Senators are auxions to
get back to their seats. They are
Chandler, of Michigan, who no doubt
wishes for a chance to fight the Adj
ministration, and Pomeroy of Kan.
sas. The place of Chandler is more
acceptably filled than when he occu.
pied it. Judge Christiancy has de-
veloped great deal of the partisan
of late, but has ability and character
to which Chandler never aspireds, In
the other case, if Kansas m ust hare a
Republican Senator, the change fIom
Ingalls, SO Pomeroy will he relief to
those who have occasion to be at the.
Capitol, and benefit to the country.
do not mean to praise Pomeroy at
all in saying this. ,.< 5
The Senate yesterday by vote Of
passed As to Is bill providing that
U. s. notes shall be received the same;
as coin for 4 per cent bonds, and after
October 18th shall be received for
Custom dues.
An attempt was also made in the
Senate to postpone the day of final
adjournment, but a large mojorjty
voted against it.
The House for several day past
has been engaged on what is known
as the Sundry Civil Bill, and passed
it last night. This, like the river
and harbor bill, is always inflated"
after it gets before the Honse. Jones
accommodates Smith and Robinson
by voting for their lite amendments,
and they in turn favor Jones, and so
immense sums are added. Now that
the bill goes to the Senate that body
will try it's hand in the work of swell =
ing the amount. 49,. ~g,-s,
There are but four days left Of the
session, and this and the Army Ap. I.
preparation bill get but basty 'consi..1
