with his persistent lobbying ana oorlng UNTIL Tue
Senate has ordered an investigation into the
charges of corruption preferred against him IN
connection with this Georgia muddle Inc evil
aence Is pretty conclusive that some OF BullocKs S
satellites have eudeavored to influence legislation
against the Bingham amendment by bribery and
corruption. Besides this, Bullock was persistent
IL snubbed in the Senate during the struggle en-
tuesday night. Even Butler snubbed him
with the cut direct in the presence OF the crowded
pa,leres. by turning away and refusing to con-
verse with him. The temper OF the House is deci'
dedly against the Senate bill, and the latter oouy
desire to let Georgia in at this session they must
swing loose from Buock's demands and come
over to the more conservative views OF the house.
The carpetbag element is demoralized. Ine
long. jarring prejudice among the Northern kadi'
Gals against this class found vent IN the House
this week in the repudation Of the claims Of
Sypher, who demanded seat as the representa-
tive Of one of the New Orleans districts, and sup
ported his modest request by three thousand
votes out CT thirty thousand This was ilttie
more impudence than the House was Wiling 70
put up with, and they administered the addition
al sting of voting him In and then eXpelllng MIN.
IF syphcr had by any possible means squeezed
through. the Democrats intended to charge him
with selling q cadetship and demand an investi-
cation, feeling confident that they would secure
his eypusion on II. However, it was openly
charged on the socr that Sypher was to be brought
in through corrupt bargain. 1t was charged
that he had been bought over by the PennsyiVa-
mia tariff interest to vote for the iron duties IN
the pending bill. Having taken his carpet bag
and gone South from Pennsylvania, ne was nat
urally identified with the protective interests oi
that State; but, like all the carpetbaggers, he had
o price. The rest of the Louisiana clique Will fare
the same fate; and now that the ball IS roillng'
others from the South had better keep clear re-
cord. The bribery investigation Of the Senate
NAV bring some more OF their rascallties to the
surface.
The programme to reconstruct Tennessee is
likely to fall of its own dead weight. There Is a
division in the Congressional delegation on the

tain the 'outrage theory i"tte strong enough.
Old Brownlow says If it ever gets through the
House, he intends to fight it in the Senate. He
declares that it is merely scheme on the part OF
Stokes and Maynard to get elected to the Forty
second Congress. Under the present enfranchise-
ment and with their great personal unpopulartty,
they know they can never get into public lie
again, unless they inaugurate revolution IN
Tennessee and get elected by bayonets. II the
matter ever comes to the Senate, Brownlow will
make this charge. The fact OF it Is, this Tennes-
see programme would not have got this far, had
it not been for the non-committal views OF Gov
ernor Senter, who testified on both sides OF the
question before the Reconstruction Committee.
The President has made complete preparations
to leave town just as soon as Congress adjourns.
He has built cottage by the sea- on the beach

State Department to his summer cottage on the
Hudson.
Before the end of the session society" expects
to get in quite nutter over the marriage OF Gen.

He is the only carpet.bagger who signs the GER

transparent for Washington.
