The senatorial Fight.

The following, from the Cincinnati En-
q,iirer, in regard to the Senatorial fight now
in progress, is well put-especially the last
paragraph:
The combat between the long-haired rad
icals and short-cropped conservatives of
that heterogeneous mass called the Union
party gets warmer as IL goes on. A little
bird gives us a graphic account of what oc-
CURED in the tin pan of last Thursday night.
Don Piatt, of Logan County, who was re-
turned on a pledge TO bring about negro
equality, seconded by Mr.. Speaker Parrott,
left the radicals, while Stanton, Gaddis and
Dangler entered an appearance for the con-
servatives. The fight was over the PROPOSE
tion to continue the election to the ad-
journed session. The conservatives, being
eager 10 have the election at once, carried
the day, and would have pressed the con--
test To an Immediate vote, but for an In
timation that IL crowded, the radicals
would cover their Indignant heads and
march out.
The debate was warm, loud and personal,
and His Satanic Majesty, who presides over
such gatherings, must have laughed at his
Union subjects exhibiting such unity.
This is not our funeral, but IL is human
nature TO take sides, even In dog fight,
and we can not help sympathizing with the
gentlemen who, disguised with Schenck's
failure rs General, his brutality In Balti-
more and general demagogisn, strive 10
sustain a man who, has shown q DISPOSE
tion TO be generous, at least, II not just to
his fellow-citizens of the South.

at Is understood that about the 18th in+
slant the members Of Congress from the
Southern Stntes, both Senators and Repre-
sentatives, will present themselves In a
body, with their credentials, and ask to be
admitted TO their seats; aud that at the
same time. or, just before, the Presidents
proclamation viii appear, declaring the re-
storation of the Uniou complete, and those
States entitled TO their full representation
in Congress. IL the radical majority shall
refuse to admit them, then, It Is said, the
President will at once make use of those
measures Of which the Constitution gives
him the control, TO make the power OF the
Executive felt.
Up to this time he has endeavored to CON
duct his administration without coming to
an open breach with the Republican party.
But he thinks he has waited long enough
now, and IL the radicals arc determined To
make the issue, he will not shrink from it.
Heknows that he will be supported by the
people at large. and IN Congress by the Dem
ocrats and moderate Republicans. He is de-
terinined that tiIe South shall be no longer
deprived of its just rights, aud If the radi-
Gals in Congress force him to extremities,
they will only have themselves to blame.
The radicals are aware OF this determina-
tion of the President, and are alarmed
about 1t, as the article in the Chicago Iri1
bune Of December 30 shows But the Presi-
dent will not be deferred by such attacks
from the fearless discharge of his duty

NEW 1ORk, january 10.
On Wednesday the Fenian Senate will
try the three members of the Senate who
Joined O'Mahony. They are charged with
violating their oath Of Office and repudiat-
ing the Constitution of the Fenian Broth
erhoOd. General Sweeney has issued an
order to all circles to he firm in their de-
termination to aid him in his efforts to
command the grand military movements
which will embrace the opening campaign
against England.
+. O'ROurke, Treasurer of the Senate
branch of the Brotherhood, has placed the
funds in his hands TO the credit of Sweeney,
and 1t is to be used In the purchase of war
materials.
Letters from Paris say there is a strong
desire on the part of the French Govern
ment and people for Inauguration of meas
ures which shall restore their trade with
this country to its former proportion, from
which it has greatly fallen off.
The Secretary of the Treasury has in
structed cotton agents to make no more
sales Of captured cotton for the present.
The Secretary believes delay will be adj
vantageous to the Government in bringing
into the Treasury higher price for cotton
than can be obtained now.
The Post says: Wall street is more ami
mated to-day. The fears that sOme-h hasty
and ill-considered effort of contraction viii
result from the financial measures before
Congress appear to be passing away.
The loan market Is growing easier, and
the current rate for demand loans is Sac
per cent. Commercial paper passes at 7@

The stock market opened with more ami

Railroad shares show considerable spec
ulative activity.
Dispatches from Washington say the in
formation called for by Congress- respect
ing MaXimilian's express company, will
show up singular state of things. 1t APP
pears that charter was obtained from
Macmillan for such n company, and imme
diately thereafter certain parties organized
and issued large quantities of stocks, and
distributed very freely among prominent
gentlemen in New York and Philadel-
phia.
1t is alleged that the correspondence win
show that large amount of this stock was
received by an official for certain facilities
granted TO the company in allowing vessels
to depart from the United States loaded with
articles contraband Of war.

construction contemplate the organization
of four sub-committees out of their NUM-
ber, and to divide the South into four trav-
cling districts for these committees to visit

toms:
Sir-l have been informed that the ship
Sandusky recently arrived at Fayal from
Bristol for New York, and laden In part
with hides taken from cattle that had the
disease now prevalent in England and
known as the cattle plague. Customhouse
officials can not use too much vigilance in
guarding against the Introduction Of this
terrible disease, and will permit no offering
of hides to be tanned without first reporting
IN each ease and receiving instructions from
the Treasury Department allowing the
entry to be made.
By direction of Major-general Hancock

Pennsylvagia, Delaware, Eastern Shore and
