Pinchback is Not Happy.
Special to the Cincinnati Commercial.
WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE negro
Senator from Louisiana IPinchback] has
addressed a communication to the Republi-
can members of the Senate, complaining
that he has not been fairly treated, and that
his claims have been ignored without a
hearing. He holds that be has as much
right to seat in the Senate as Spencer, of
Alabama, whose election was held under
similar circumstances. Had Congress ig-
hot mi raaOOpifirr1 in
Louisiana and ordered a new election,
Plnchback says he would have had no
ground for complaint, but the President
has recognized the Kellogg government land
Congress, by falling to act in the matter,
has virtually Endorsed him, and as Pinch
back was elected by the Kellogg Legisla-
ture, he holds that he has prinlu ,fdcie
right to be admitted. -
In private conversation Pinchback init
mates that had he been a white man like
Spencer, there would have been no trouble.
At all events he eau not understand the
diffel ence which the Senate has made be-
tweeD-him and the Senator from Alabama.
LegaI-TendeF Reserve to be Issued.
Congress having failed to take actien on
the matter, it is reported that the Secretary
of the Treasury will issue the forty-four
millions of legal tender reserve. There is a
strong pressure brought TO bear fromthe West
and the South, where more curi ency is
wanted, to get the Secretary to act imme-
diately. Ofcourse 1t meets with opposition
from the Eastern bankers and capitalists.
The Senate Finance Committee made a re-
port against the power of the Secretary to
issue this reserve, but it was not acted up
on, and Boutwell, thinks he is free to act.
He is of opinion that the business of the
country demands more currency.
