Exclusion OF LOUISIANA CoSGREssMEN. - The
Washington correspondent of the New Orleans Plea
yune gives the following reasons why the southern
members are not admitted:
II is important that the readers Of the Picaylne
should clearly understand why the senator's aud repre-
sentatiyes from Louisiana have been excluded from
their seats in congress- by what power they are kept
out and how long they and the representatives Of he
other southern States to be thus excluded. The
answer TO this is to be found in the action Of congress
during the last two mouths; in the negro suffrage bill
which has passed the house. and the freednens bureau
bill which has passed the senate; but particularly in
the speeches of Mr. Rosseau of Kentucky, delivered
in the house yesterday of Mr. Shellabarger and Mr..
Deming of Connecticut, alluded to in recert ctttr;
Of Mr. Thadeus Stevens, particularly his first ana hist
speech of this session; and of Dir. Raymond on the
29h ult The plot in brief, is simply this: the rail-
cal majority in congress is large enough to carry
through any measures which may be determined onin
caucus If the southern members are admitted, thtir
SO votes Joined with the rs votes that could BID cast
by the democratic members and moderate republicans,
making Is votes in ALL could prevent the passage of
any of the measures upon which the radicals bent.
The radicals have in view such changes and ameId-
ments in the constitution will entirely change the
form Of government. Mr.. Raymond, who knows htir
secrets exposed this in his recent speech.

Why GEN. BAKER WAS DEGRADED.-The Washing
ton correspondent of the Richmond Times gives us
the following reasons why the notorious government
detective, Baker, was degraded:
Baker had become so impudent and felt so entirely
secure from the reach of all men, save the secretay
OF war; that he actually attempted to play the deec
tive upon the president and his household weeks
ago. There is scarcely doubt, however, that this
last specimen of ndeceney and wonderful impudenee
was encouraged, if not suggested by some Of the
presidents Z" radical friends The "great detective"
made an utter failure Of his espionage upon the ek
ecutive mansion for it somehow discovered by
Mr.. johnson, who sent messenger to bring Baker
Immediately into bis presence. The detective dropped
every other consideration and repaired with all haste
to the white house. totally at fault to the purpose Of
this summons from the president, His name beiEg
announced the president directed that he at cnce De
admitted Notwithstanding the presence Of several
gentlemen then engaged with Mr.. Johnson. The la.-
ter most unceremoniousiy charged Baker with bis
ylainous espionage and informed him that if he ever
again heard of his presence in prowling about the
white house, if he permitted any Of his creatures
to speak around the premises the " great detective
should himself lodge in some one Of the dungeons ID
the Old Capitol where many had been incarcerated
upon the simple order Of Blker himself without war
rant Or the semblance Of law or justice
The great detective" amazed at what be heard,
and remained speechless while the president scored
him. Upon the presidents command, g Go, sira
Baker hastily moved towards the door; but before be
quite arrived there Mr. Johnson added: "Hoi one
moment sir, desire that you go to the secretary
Of war and tell him every word l have said to you;
and Shaking his finger at hm) don't you ever ler me
see y0u here again."
The great detective left nstanter and has obcged
the last injunction Of the president most religouay
-->.~-
RADICAL MMoauY IN THE HousE.-The radical
strength in the Washington house Of representatives,
was shown by the vote OIL Thad. Stevens substj
tue for the freedmen's bureau act as it came from
