WARRINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON, DC, !
March II. 70,

After recognizing the two Houses
will come the question whether or not
anything shall DO done at the extra
session besides the passage OF the TWO
appr opriatiou bills which failed at the
regular session. 1t is thought BY some
that only those measures with OF
course, amendments repeating the su'
peryisor and test oath laws, and for
bidding tho use Of Federal troops at
the polls, should be acted on. By
Others it is believed that the first
Democratic Congress. at its first meet
ing, should in some significant manner
give farm to popular disapproval OF the
extravagant and unconstitutional leg
islation Of the past dozen or more
years. There will be lively contest
on this subject probably.
10 the long procession Of radical
candidates for the Presidency-Grant
Blaine, Coukling, Washburne. Co.,
is now to be added the name OF Sena.
tor William Window. 1t is only OF
late that Senator W. has been men
toned, but bis friends think it will
have refreshing sound to those lie
publicaus who dislike the scheming
and cunning which characterize the
efforts of some of the other candi-
dates.
Prof. Ga,ngee, undeterred by the
fact that Congress gave him no assist.
auce, goes plaoidly on in his prepare
ton Of means for freezing the yellow
fever out of infected ships which may
arrive at Southern ports next summer.
The Professor has the confidence OF
medical and scientific men here, and

The Late Important Mineral
Discoveries In LlnnO County.

LLANo, TEX, March 18th, 1879.
Mr.. JULIAN 1 have refrained from
writing on the subject of our mines
until now, because l wanted to write
something definite and certain, as this
county has been injured already by
unreliable reports. Mr.. McGhee has
been laughed at and ridiculed as Wis.
iouary upon this subject en- ough to dis.
hearten any man that had less energy
than he has; he has dug and deived
against all kinds of adversely; but
from this time on his circumstances
will be easy. He has struck a vein
of copper in combination with silver
and gold that is three feet thick and
known to be five miles long, which the
first assay Of an inferior ore when first
struck made $50 in copper without
testing the silver or gold. Since the
main vein was struck, or rather the
foot rock, they have metal that is be-
iieved by a scientific mineralogist and
others to be worth from 500 to $3.50
to the ton in copper besides the gold
and silver which in all probability will
run I'D the value to 5000 per ton. Now
this being developed l can safely say
that there are hundreds of places just
aq good, some little deeper down than
Mr.. McGhee's which is only only A #.
from surface. So people need not run to
Leadville to invest, as this county can
give room for any kind of investment
wanted which will pay we'll directed
effort. The Huston mine is now be
ing worked with fair prospect of get
ing metal in from 20 to 40 feet more.
DIR. Smith has already struck meta
that would pay to smelt, and has not
got to his vein matter. Capt. Brown
has mine about u feet deep, with
perhaps the best prospect ever struck
at that depth, and is only waiting
capital to work it. The Owens mine
was worked until good pay in ore
was found when he and the owner
of the mine got into, a muss and since
then, Il months ago. it has been sus.
pended. The Holden mine, just north
of the town of Llano, is as good as any
of them, being on the same lead Of DR.
Smiths on the south side of the river
half mile from town. 1t may be that |
will give you an item from time to time
as they progress. j. W. DAVIS.

| Report of the Potter Committee
The Courier Journal says in publish

The Courier Journal says in publish
ing tho Potter report:
No one can read it without being i'm
pressed with the wisdom, nay, the ne
cessity Of the original purpose to in-
vestiyate. Those squeamish Democrats
who thought the Potter resolution i'm.
politic at the time it was introduced,
must sec in this admirable document.
30 full, 10 specific, 80 authenticated
and 80 clear-that it could not have
been avoided, and that it ought not to
have been avoided.
The story of the great crime was
bound to come out. 1t could not De
suppressed. The attempt to conceal
it would have been only second in
guilt to the crime itself Not merely
MIR. Tilden and Mr.. Hendricks, not
merely the Democratic party, but all
the people Of the United States, have
an interest in knowing the facts OF the
case, which Mr.. Potter and his com .
mittee, have set forth in a manner at
once simple and telling, truthful and
brilliant.
The darkest page of history can
hardly surpass it. 1t is from first to
last a chronicle of conspiracy, usurpa
ton, forgery, perjury, force and fraud ,
done by men since rewarded by the
patronage of the Administration under
whose leaders they directly served. Re-
voting as the story of Louisiana is, it
is even exceeded by the shameless vii
lainy tina: is recorded of Florida.
In style the report is perspicuous
and plain. 1t is not a stump speech
or an exparte, special plea. With an
earnestness which disdains rhetoric
and directness which does not stop to
: call names, except when they express
or explain the facts with most brevity
it unfolds the varying phases Of the
crime. step by step, as it was perpe-
trated in Tallahassee and New Orleans
closing with a terrible arraignment-
and the more terrible because it is not
| clogged with eplthet-of John Sher
| man, Edward +. Noyes and William
Pitt Kellogg, the responsible chiefs OF
the conspiracy. The beginning and the
end of the report are particularly note
worthy but no one who sits down to
peruse it is likely to quit it till he has
read it all.

1t is high time, as all intelligent peo-
pie admit, we had law requiring the
publication of forced sales in the
newspapers. 1t is due to the newspa'
per press, and still more to the class
whose property is now regularly sacri
feed for want OF such public notice.
Iii is difficult to avoid the conclusion
that the failure to enact 80 righteous
law long since has been owing to
interested motives on the part Of our
legislators, as indicated in the article
we copy in another place from the Bel
ton journal. We believe the press
have the power, by concerted action,
to control this subject, and that it
will be their own fault if they allow
it to 90 over again. We suggest, then,
that every newspaper publisher in the
State make at once personal appeal,
private az we'll as public, to the men,
Der or members from his district in
favor of such law, and we believe it
will be needed, and that we shall get
it. We are not prepared to believe
that the present Legislature will allow
itself to be controlled by the nppian-
ces of legal shysters and landsharks,
to the disregard of the wishes of the
press and the best interests of the
people of the State. But if we are
mistaken, we want to know it, and to
have our lawmakers assume their
proper responsibility. We say, then.
let the issue be clearly raised, SO there
shall be no room for lodging.
We would further suggest
that the appeal we advise to members
of the Legislature be specially made
to such newspaper men as may be
members Of that body. The name Of
Hon. Mr.. Linn, editor of the Victoria
Advocate, and an able and influential
member, occurs to US as that OF a st
champion OF the rights Of the press OF
Western Texas. We are not advised,
but no doubt there are editorial repre-
sentatives in the Legislature from 9th
err sections Of the State, and they Of
course are the persons who may most
naturally be expected to lead of in
this matter, so important to the news
psper fraternity.
