The special telegraph to the Pto'yosns
yesterday stated the effect OF pending
proposition TO retain .'the Kellogg gov
eminent, instead Of restoring Narmoth. y
The same telegraph says: ''Warmoth still
confident" Now, while we do not cues
ton the right of any gentleman, with or
without employment, to visit the national
seat of government. and remain az long as
he may choose, we cannot see in what right

should be impartial, and although the
committee had closed the testimony, there
is no reason why 8 witness should
remain to conduct the case n
which he has given evidence. More
especially is this persistan. attendance
singular, after the rest OF the witnesses,
including jacques, have gone home. when
we consider that the witness Warnoth IS
a candidate for seat IN the United States
Senate, and that there has been for some
weeks daily rehearsal Of the play how
not to elect Senator. Naturally {. cardi-
date for this high office would have his
headquarters near the field Of action. The
telegraph suggests why this neglect Of lis
immediate interests here. and Why his
continued attendance in Washington. 1t
would really tend to confirm the charge OF
"a bargain 70, seat in the Senate, against
the installment of the Fusion party in the
State Offices. The effect Of a new election
would have been to reinstate Governor
Warmoth in power. This would have
enabled him, OF course, 80 exercise official
influence over such new election. Upon
this view. :. may be suspected why
