The Case of Senator Hill, of Georgia.
The case Of Joshua A. Hill, Senator elect from
Georgia, whose application for admission was re-
ferred to the committee at the opening OF the ses-
sion, occupied some time in its consideration by rea-
son OF the large number Of documents necessary to
examine In support and in opposition to his claim.

able to his admission.
Georgia Radicals Opposing Further Congress
sionnl Interference.
Colonel j. e. Bryant Chairman OF the Republican
Executive Committee OF Georgia, authorizes the
statement that he is opposed to the bills Of Messrs.
Sumner and Butler affecting the political interests
Of that State. While he, in the Legislature was OPP
posed to the expulsion of the negro members, and
is In favor of reseating them, he will oppose any

Trouble Among the Missouri Radicals.
1t appears that Senator Henderson's threat to run
for Governor OF Missouri and the canvass Of the
State is entirely dependent upon the success of his
enemies to read him out Of the republican party
in Missouri. He says the kilograms sent from here
for the purpose Of accommodating him are false
and intended to drive from him his friends in the
Legislature. No vote was taken or proposed to be
taken to remove him from the craftsmanship Of the
Indian Committee Of the Senate. If his opponents
beat him by fair ne has not one word to say;
but he insists the party in Missouri has right to
set up platform and principles in Missouri different
from the national platform, or to excommuncate
him while he is recognised by the party here. He
wants his party position recognized and his claims
considered member of the party, and he will be
satisfied II he should at oil 1t would be as O
publican, and rescae the party, as he says, from
clique of selfish politicians, who have continued to
destroy every public man who refuses to submit to
their dictaton.

The House was in merry mood to-day. The fun
commenced with the introduction by Mr..
Jones, OF Kentucky, of o resolution to make
the pay Of female employees Of the govern
ment the same as that of males who perform
the same kind OF service. Jones' intention was no
doubt good but he couched the terms Of mis- resou-
ton in such awkward way to cause its reading
60 give rise to irrepressibe laughter. The Cerberus
OF the Treasury E. B. Washburne, Of course led
the opposition to the resolution increasing the
nay OF the poor women. when ne found
that clear majority OF the House was
against him he commenced TO flibuster,
though his defeat was only q question Of

demanding divisions" and "tellers," he was finally
beaten and the resolution passed.
