WASHINGTON, December IA, 1858.
Senator Kellogg offered resolution in the
Senate calling upon General o. o. Howard,
head of the Freedmen's Bureau, to furnish
Congress with all the information in his pos
session, derived through the Freedmen's
Bureau of Louisiana, concerning Ku-Klux
outrages, murders and intimidation before
and during the late election in Louisiana.
He also introduced resolution calling for
information as to the amount of public
lands still belonging to the national govern.
ment in the five States of Louisiana, Missis.
sippi, Alabama, Arkansas and Florida with
a view of putting them immediately into the
market and selling them to loyal citizens.
He also introduced bill granting i'm
mense tracts of land in Louisiana, to the
New Orleans, Mobile and Chattanooga
Railroad Company, of which Mr.. Raynor
of New York is President, and Hon. Oakes
Ames, of Massachusetts,, one of the chief
stockholders. .n.l
General Butler to-day is addressing the
Supreme Court in an important case, involv.
| ing the power of pardon and ann esty by
the President. He is being listened to by q
large assemblage, including some of the
ablest men of the American bar.
Mr.. Sypher to-day introduced in the House
two bills of importance to the people of Lou.
isiana, which were referred to appropriate
committees; one of them provides for the
issuing of the bonds Of the National Govern
ment for 100000 to the Mississippi River
and Lake Borgne Canal Company, of which
DR.. Noyes is President and General 8. l..
Brown one of the chief stockholders. The
other grants large amount of public lands
in the States of Louisiana, Mississippi, Ar
kansas and Alabama to the New Orleans and
Ship Island CaEal Company, recently incor-
porated by an act Of the Louisiana Legisla-
ture, and of which Mr.. George F, Brott is
President. .''.
Hon. Frank Morey has been here. He
differs with other gentlemen of Louisiana
inasmuch as he thinks the election of Con-
gresham in the Fifth District should be
considered valid. He says the Democrat
who has been declared elected is ineligible,
and that the next highest candidate should
be admitted. This course would give Mr..
Morey the seat.
On motion of Mr.. Whittemore all con-
tested elections and all matters growing out
of the recent elections in the States of Lou
isisna, Georgia aud South Carolina were
referred to the Committee on Elections.
The Pesident sent to the Senate to-day
several nominations, some of them sup.
posed to refer to Louisiana offices, but they
have not transpired. matN
Hon. ]. Willis Menard is generally dis.
satisfied. He complains that Governor War
moth has not sent him his credentials, and
denounces the authorities in Louisiana as
having concocted a ''put-up job" against
him. Jones, who is now quite jubilant over
his own prospects for admission, says that
when admitted he will vote for paying
| Menard mileage.
Senator Wilson, who, it is now generally
admitted, will be the next Secretary of
War, ridicules the idea of any men from
| Louisiana having credentials growing out
of the late election, and is gathering up
| proofs furnished him by Louisianians.
i He declares that soon after the fourth of
March General Mower, sickles or Reynolds
will relieve General Rousseau from his
present command.
The different candidates for the Secretary
ship of the Treasury are now giving up the
contest, convinced that E. B. Washbnrne is
the coming man.
kilograms received from Mr.. oreecy indi-
cate an immense amount of rottenness in the
/ Internal Revenue ring of Louisiana. Colonel
Tisdsle is reported as having omitted to de-
posit the public moneys in his possession
into the ubTreasury at New Orleans fol
the past six months and the amount thus
kept back is estimated at $l75.000.
Both Secretary McCulloch and Commits
sioner Rollins express the most unbounded
confidence in Mr.. Creeey's ability and in
tegrity, and say that if such thing is pos
sible, he will be able to smoke out the rascali
who are defrauding the Government in Lou
isiana. - Q.a 5a ROB ROY.
