INDIANA FRAUD.
From Osr Own Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, Feb. :, 1877.
Notwithstanding all We have heard in some quar-
ters Of the contl gencies Of Cass and Walker gong
into the CabiIe., those gentlemen themselves have
pretty efectuaIy silenced any such anticipation.
Gen Csss took occasion 10 say, very emphat'csuy,
that Mr.. Buchanan not only never colterrea Win
him, directly or indirectly on tbs subject, but that
be studously avoided any consultation even in re
aaJd TO TIE political policy Of his Administration
Their interviews were principally devoted to oeSee'
yatons upon the unsettled state Of the weather and
atmosphere influences generally. Mr.. Walker aP-
pears 10 be- in the same boat, and be- has explained
that when his friends insisted upon the use ot MS
name he told them very frankly there was no pros
pect Of succcss-an opinion when Subsequent ue
velopments has substantially verified. Not word
was said concerning the persoRna OF the new Adj
mipistratlon 10 Hunter or Mason, or DAVIS, but
they were enlightened as Ia the views To De- emu
bodied in the Inaugural Reasoning upon these
data and taking some other facts INTO considefa'
ton, the present probabilities point to Cooo stu LOT
the prenier's place lie has the air OF man sat
i.f.d with himself, and by no means displeaseo
with the immediate future. Ii IS very true ne
knows no foreign language, and has not devoHd
mncb attention if any, 10 diplomacy. But he -
prompt. rather conservative IN foreign affairs,
man of good sense, and has announced blmself ~
be opposed to pros criptlon IN any form. 80 lar as
the u arrangement Of the foreign policy IS concerneu
he will lean if appointed, upon Mr. buchanan, VINO
intends 10 keep a sharp eye on those matters any
how.
An effort will be made to patch up the treaty
which was so roughly handled in the Senate the
other day. but with hardly any real hope OF success

been denounced as Objectionable and if they are
ema, culated as has been suggested, there VIII be-
nothing but the shadow of a name left. majority
of the Committee OF Foreign Relations are well
inclined % accommodate the difficulties IN the
Senate, but with the opposition already manifested
the attempt would appear to be wholly imPtactiea-
bic. The progressive interest in that Chamber
must have something to agltate and in the absence
of existing lexcliements in Kansas or elsewhere,
tLey have fallen back upon the old hobby Of row
with England Mr. Dallas Bquite nervous AZ che
comments of the press on this his hvorlte scheme OF
pacfcatioa, and mOurns over the manifest decline
Of public men. Mr.. Buchanan was not hked in
England, and was rather tabooed IL society Tor
time for having countenanced G. orgc Sanders aud
his red-repubhcan c0ntrtrss. lie brought home
souc rest utments with hun, and would nos mind, II
half chance offered, TO rap PalnerstOn over the
knuckles This feeling IL very we'll known here,
and hence the endeaSVr t. put the treaty through
WI notifications.
Tie most fragrant outrage yet attempted by
Democratic partlzanship was exhibited in the bogus
election of l.. s. Senators by q traction OF the
Legislature of Indiana. Audacity and defiance OF
all law are its chefest recOmmendauOps, and thcJ
may 20 far TO prOpuate influences that under other
circumstances would repel so daring all attempt 70
disgrace the Senate Sir. Bright left his seat as
President Of the Senate fortnight ago, TO look
after bis reelection and he Was IN Attendance upon
ia in hTeh I'M.
How far be may have instigated it may appear
hereafter. There is no pretext even, excepting the
principle established in Harlans case, by which
Bright and Fitch can claim seats. Every point oil
objection then raised not only exists now but exists
in a form Of deliberate aggravatiOn, which should
exclude them without reference. We shsI see II
the Committee ON the Judiciary can lend their
sanction 10 this gross outrage, or whether men can
be found upon the floor OF the Senate to stand up
and advocate wha. they know % h. wlllful nfrac-
ton Of law and constitutional rights. And II the
Senate shau reject the application for seats founded
upon the action Of mob, for such wa- the s0-csled
Joint COnvt ntOn" in legal contemplation, then IL
NAV be seen whether Nr Buchanan viii call into
bis Cabinet any OF the parties engaged 10 trsnsac-
ton 20 nefariOus.
The statement recently published, that Spanish
heet had been dispatched from Havana with hos
tile intentions for Vera Cruz, was exaggerated be-
youd the warrant OF fact. When COmoniorts
