WASHINGTON, December IA, 1868.
EDITOR REPuBLIcAN: -a,.
Mr.. Syphers friends claim great credit for
that gentleman for procuring the repeal Of
the prohibition against the organization oi
militia forces in the lately rebelllous States.
An examination of the Congressional Globe
will show you that on the fourteenth instant
Mr.. Sypher, by unanimous consent, sub.
mitted the following resolution, which was
read, considered and agreed to:
Resolved That the Committee on Mill.
tary Affairs be directed to INQUIRE into the
expedieDcy Of repeating the sixth section OF
the act making appropriations for the sup
port of the army for the year ending June
80, 1868, and for other purposes, approved
March 2, 1867, which prohibits the organiza-
ton of militia forces in the States Of Vir-
ginia, North Carolina, South Carolina,
Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Louisiana, Mis-.
sissippi, and Texas; and that they report by
bill or otherwise. ra7
If Mr.. Sypher was so anxious for repeal
of the prohibition, why did be not with his
own pen at once frame bill with the object
in view, and have his bill referred to
the Committee, instead of asking
the Committee to draw up bill
to effect the purpose. But, unfortunately
for Mr.. sypher's fame in this partculi r
General Paine, Of Port Hudson fame, OF
the same day introduced a bill on the same
subject, complete in all its formalities and
details, which was read first and second
time, and referred to the Committee on
Reconstruction. Tt is surmised here that
after the fourth of March Mr.. Sypher may
accept position under the militia law of
Louisiana which will enable him to show off
his ability and prowess.
There is one matter in which Mr.. Sypher
is entitled to exclusive honor. That Is, the
promptness with which he introduced bills
giving Government aid to each of two rival
Mr.. Mckee, Of Kentucky, has introduced
bill to establish new Judicial district in
Kentucky. 1t was read a first and second
time and referred to the Committee on the
Judiciary. A similar bill, to be applicable to
Louisiana, is in course of preparation, and
will be passed few days before General
Grants Inauguration. Several of your best
lawyers are already mentioned in connec-
ton with the new judgship. l pIs-
Mr.. 0Neill, of Philadelphia, has intro
duced bill supplementary to an act en-.
titled IAN act to establish a uniform system
of bankruptcy throughout the United
States,n approved March 2, 1867, which was
read first and second time, and referred TO
the Committee on Revision of Laws of the
United States. Several important changes
in the present bankrupt law are in contem-
pation. Mr.. Wilson, OF Iowa, is devOting
some attention TO the subject. sls
We have a new sensation in semi-offieial
circles here. The letter Of Hon. u r. G.
Pitkin, of your city, TO General Butler on
the political aspect Of Louisiana, reached
here yesterday morning in pamphlet form
and is scorcher.s w hile, in some respects,

it seems to be about right. / am told that
it is intended for Northern circulation more
