IOI'IsIANA,

The report Of the Senate Committee on
Privileges and Elections, which was presented
yesterday, dOes not afford much hspe that
the very unsatisfactory political condition OF
affairs at present existing In that State will
no settled during the present Congress. Hero
we arc in the closing days Of tho session, with
several Of the appropriation bills yet uuactcd
upon, with large amount Of miscellaneous
business undisposed Of, and the committee
having charge Of the Louisiana muddlc un-
able, II we may Judge from their report, to
more than barely penetrate the maze Of legal
tcchnicalltles and contradictory testimony
In which the right and the wrong Of the con-
tost would seem TO be buried.
The committee have only reported upon
four or hvc Of the Intricate questions which
they were directed to Inquire into, and pre-
seut the Senate a couple Of chapters with the
traditiOnary promise Of Sylvanus Cobb's
stories that II l. to bo continued In our
next We do not wish to be understood as
blaming tho committee In any way. We be.
lievo they have done nObly, far better than
could have been expected under Ihe clrcum.
stances. When we recolCct the lncxtricablt
confusion In which tho whole question wa,
involved VIC are surprised that they have
been abic to make the progress that they have
made. But they have not been able to con,
slider some OF the many immediate and press
Ing questions that directly concern the STATE
and her relations with the Union. They say
"As to the other questions upon which the
committee are instructed to report, touching
the existence Of a legal State government In
Louisiana, and the admission Of Senator
from that state, they are not now prepared
10 report" No, and we doubt that II they
were to remain In session all the summer
they would be any nearer to conclusion
upon these points than they are now. Tn,
more VIC consider the whole affair the NOR,
we are inclined to think that the plan tug
guCstcd by Gen. Butler is the shortest anC
easiest way to get out Of the difficulty.

Mn. JouS W. GARRETT has project be-
fore Congress to allow him to put down rails
for a steam railroad In front Of the Capitol
1t is to be hoped that 1t will receive no con.
Sldcration whatever. Mr.. Garrett has not
shown the slightest disposition to effect con-
ncctlon through the city other than that at the
very foot Of the Capitol, because that is
cheap, and any other would cost money.
The Bourbons of the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad never consider the wants or rights OF
the people Of Washington, and the only
wonder Ia that they do not demand track
up Pennsylvania avenue, and ask tho city to
build 1t for them. We expect proposition
Of this character ono Of these DAYS.
