THE LOUISIANA CONGRESSIONAL BFLEc uIoN.
The Hol-e Committee IN Elections have decided
TO report IN favor of the admission OF the two Ions
iana Representatives from New Orleans, but against
the others, in consequence of the small number OF
votes received by them. This position viii probably
be sustained by the House, but will no doubt lead TO
long and exciting debate In which the status of the
rebelous States will be fully conside ed.
MOVEMENTS OF Mr.. Foo1g.
Mrs. Foote tonight received intelligence from her
husband, who is still at Fredericksburg He will
probably soon make another attempt to enter our
lines.

The Tribune contains the following special de.--
patch from Washington:

The President has been closeted air day, DENYING
himself 10 all corners.
1t il whispered that two Alabama Peace Envoy,
had audience, and that the President was giving L,
mind to the endeavOrs from both sides of the line II

Upon this head, the Tribune editorializes a, fol-
