WASHINGTON, Dec 3, 1873.
Buticr's Move To Put Pinchback IN tho
Senate.
Much to the surprise OF everybody in the House
to-day Butler moved to lay the resolution TO ad
init Pinchback on the table, After some opposition
from Beck, who wanted to have a vote on IT, the
resolution was laid on the table. The object OF this
move OF Buffers is undoubtedly to give PinchbacK
time to get into the Senate, falling in which nc
win be admitted to the House.
The action OF the House in the case clearly indi-
Gates what may be expected from the great major
ity which the republicans have In the body. Cox
very indiscreety made a party attack upon the
republicans, thus making 1t party question, with
the result seen. Had he followed the course OF
Lamar and other democrats on the West Virginia
case, who never even once alluded to IL as party
question, IL Is the general opinion that the result
would have been similar
The Back Pay Bill and It's Chances.
Some effort was made by several to get the bill
reducing the pay OF members referred, but the
House adjourned before taking any action thereon.
1t is evident the republicans believe that the
peal OF the increase OF salaries will give their party
a clear bill of health to cover over the Mobiier and
other frauds, and save the republican party. Mr..
Hale OF Malne-doubtless inspired by his mentor,
Speaker Baine-is making himself particularly
Officious in the matter but they VIII make very
little capital by IL, as, from present Indications the
democrats Will vote as unit for the increase.
The Old Committee on Foreign Relations
To BE Continued-The Democrats, rs
Usual, Get Two Committees.
The committee appointed by the republican Sem
ate caucus to-day to revise the standing commit
tees Of that body have completed their duty.
Although the committee decline to furnish
information to the press in advance OF
their report to the caucus, 1t has been as
certained from member OF the Committee on
Foreign Relations that the committee Will be the
same as at the organization OF the Senate in March
last-namely. Cameron, Chairman Norton, Hamhn,
Howe, Frelinghuysen, Conking and Schurz. Bout
WELL who entered the Senate after the organiza-
tion OF the committee in March, will 60
on either the Committee of Commerce or
Finance. There will be probably IL
changes in all. Vacancies are left in the
list to be filed at the suggestion OF the democratic
Senators as heretofore, among which is the chair
manship OF the Committee on Engrossed Bills, for
mery occupied by Mr., Casserly. The democrats
being allowed the chairmanships OF two commit
tces-namely the Private Land Claims and En-
crossed Blls-Senator Thurman is now chairman
OF the former committee.
Liberal Republicans Object To Being
The liberal republicans have signifed their
wish that the republicans do not class them
as democrats, and will accept such places as
may be assigned them the committees
by the caucus. Senator Sumner WILL it is said,
tonight be appointed on committee by the re-
publicans, perhaps as member OF contem-
plated new committee.
The Contract for the Five Per Cent
loan Not 10 BE Renewed.
The contract with the bankers composing the
syndcate for placing the five per cent loan expired
on Monday last and viii not be renewed. The
Secretary OF the Treasury will determine IN lew
days the plan OF future operations.
Timely Reminder.
AZ the republican senators were assembling to-
day in the ladies' reception room AT the Capitol
Tor the purpose OF holding caucus, Senators Cor
don, Of Georgia. and Ransom. OF North Carolina,
both democrats, who not aware OF the use
the rooms had been for the time set apart for at
tempted to enter. The doorkeeper politely in
formed them they could not go in. AT this Senator
Ransom got indignant and asked the en-
ploye If he knew who he was, reminding
him at the same time that he was Senator and
had the right of access to the public rooms OF the
Senate. The parley blocked the way OF those en-
titled TO admission, and Senator Robertson, or
South Carolina, learning the cause, said :-''Let in
the penitent sinners" The democratic Senators
withdrew their demand for admission and found
more congenial atmosphere nearer the Senate
chamber.
Screnadc to Horace Maynard.
Representative Horace Maynard, OF Tennessee,
was screnaded tonight at the Ebbitt House.
Among those in the room adjoining the balcony
from which he spoke were President Grant
and several members OF the Cabinet and
a number OF Senators and Representatives.
In the course OF his remarks he said
that the people OF Tennessee would see
Tor themselvs whether the present agitation on the
subject OF Cuban AFFAIRS boded war peace.
They have read the protocol, which was honorable
TO the United States and not dshonorabe TO Spain,
and VIII look to the President leader OF peace
in this transaction while they VIII not forget the
wisdom and caution of the Secretary OF State,
through whom the instrument was consummated.
