Our Washington Letter.


WASHINGTON, d. G., June %, 1879.
Messrs. Editors Tho latest plan Of the dem.
ocracy was carried out to-day, and the two bills
which have been manufactured out Of the vetoed
Judicial appropriation bill are now before the
president. The regular appropriation bill provid-
ing for the courts will be approved, while the
other bill having the Objectionable section which
was on the vetoed bill will be again returned to
the House with the disapproval Of the president.
This will probably be done on Monday. The
question then arises
WILL THE PRESIDENT REcoNvFNE CONGRESS
should 1t adjourn without making provision for the
marshals9 This matter in connection with the
Congressional programme was under discussion
at the cabinet meeting yesterday All the men,
bers Of the cabinet favored veto the marshal =
bill and the approval of the regular judicial BILL
There was some division, however, as to recon-
vening Congress after its adjournment upon the
receipt Of the next veto message. Such course,
1t was thought should not be taken II 1t could be
avoided. As the marshals will not be provided
for however, except In their salaries of two hun
dred dollars EACH and as the whole machinery Of
the courts hinges upon the operations Of their Of
fees, reconvention OF Congress seems just now
to be unavoidable There seems to be no doubt
| II Congress should see fit TO adjourn on Monday
or Tuesday, az the programme is now, that II will
not have adjourned many hours before procla-
nation calling 1t together again will be issued by
| She president, The democrats in that case will
have to submit to the inevitable and pass the
marshas bill without the political rider attached.
There are several of the party in the House who
declare with all the vehemence OF language that
1 they will filibuster against the passage of any
other bill for the support OF the marshas than the
one now before the president. The Southern men
generally, 1t is understood, will vote to pass the
bill in its proper shape. The Western democracy
with Mcmahon Of Ohio at their head are In favor
Of fighting it out 1t is easy to see, however,
which horn of the dilemma will be at last ac-
cepted.
| This extra session. while it has accomplished
| no practical good, must, Mt least have taught the
democracy that the revolutionary schemes which
they have been attempting can never be accom-
plished. The accidental return of the democratic
| party to power In both branches of Congress nat
urally embodened it to venture upon many ex-
treme projects, and installing its temporary sue
cess for an Endorsement OF its old worn-out theo-
ries OF government, its first step to revive all
the issues of 1891 which every student of history
knows were intended to subordinate the powers
Of the general government to the will and dicta-
