THE LOUISIANA sENATORsHIP

1t is not so certain, even should the
returning board permit the election of
the Legislature in Louisiana to stand
as heretofore reported, that the Demo
Gratis viii be able to secure a United
States Senator. The credentials of
Pinchback, as Senator from that State,
for six years from March 4, 1873, are
still before the Committee on Priv
ileges and Elections. Senator Morton
eadeavorei to have Pinchback sworn
in last session, on the ground that he
had prima fscie right 10 the seat.
The question came before the COM
mittee on Dec. Is, 1873, when
Morton found himself unable to OBJ
tain a majority In favor of his
proposition. Sumner was absent, and
the remainder of the committee stood
as follows: For seating Pinchback:
Morton, Logan Anthony and Mitchell;
against seating him: Carpenter, Al
corn, Hamilton, of Maryland. and
Salisbury. Morton was, therefore,
obliged to report this tie TO the Senate
and ask that the committee be dis
charged from the further consideration
of the case. He Immediately after
offered resolution of his own, declar-
ing that Pinchback had prima facie
right to the seat. This resolution is
still before the Senate, and it is Just
possible that the Republican majority
in that body will admit Pinchback, in
order to prevent the Democrats get
ing the Senator from Louisiana.

The Chicago Tribune, notwithstand-
ing its recent reconstruction as a Re-
publican organ, assures US that "the
West is ready to act with the South in
demanding a revenue tariff which shall
relieve the people of the onerous tax
upon the necessities of life, and at the
same time shall be sufficient to support
the government and maintain its credit.
The West is ready toact with the South
in demanding a sound, stable currency
in sufficient quantity for the legitimate
needs of the country, so as to remove
the damage which is now occasioned to
business by the fuctuation in value,
and the necessity imposed upon mer-
chants and manufacturers of speculat-
ing upon these values before they can
make contracts, thus introducing a
dangerous element of uncertainty into
all kinds of business.

THE Huntingdon Times announces,
authoritatively, that DR.. Curtis will not
contest theright of Mr.. Brooks to a seat
as the Representative from Carroll
county, but will leave the matter en-
tirely with the Legislature to take such
course in regard to the case as it may
see fit. This is the case, it will be re-
membered, II which there was a tie
vote between Curtis and Brooks and
which was decided by the Sheriff Civ
ing the casting vote N favor of the
latter. But even though DR.. Curtis
should make no contest, objection will
doubtless be made to Brooks compe-
tency when he presents his certificate
of election. 1t is aquestion that ought
to be settled by the Legislature so
clearly as to leave no doubt whatever
in case Of a tie, as to the proper course
to be pursued by the returning officer
and the Governor.
