SPECIAL Dispach to The Chicago Tribune.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec 5.-The Louisiana
politicians give out that the present programme
with regard to Pinchback is to influence tho Sen
ate to seat him first, and to investigate him AZ
terwarls, If desirable. Tho point to be gained
by seating him is. that the Senate cannot seat
him without recognizing the validity OF the hel-
logg Government, and, as the House has already
recognized the Kellogg Government BY seating
three Republicans, Congress would havo fully
recognized the Kellogg Government, and the e1~
pected revolution Of AIcEnery would be defeat
ed. The Kellogg people have no special lo7o
for Pinchback, but would be glad to make use Of
him al the means whereby the complete !ecog-
nislon Of the Kellogg Government can be So
cured.
ANOTHER BEGGING MEMORIAL
Another attempt is to be made to convert thu
United States Treasury into national poor
house. The residents of the river parishes in
Louisiana have sent here memorial, which
will be presented to Congress on Monday, re~
questlng the aid OF the Government to repair
the 1evees Of the Mississippi River. The memo
rial sets forth that the creVasses which we're
the cause Of the terrible inundatlon last
year still exist, and that neither the
State nor the people have any money
to repair them, and that, unless they
are repaired before another season Of high
water, similar calamity to that of last year Will
visit the eutire Lower mississippi region. The
memorial represents that forty-seveu parishes
are in danger Of 1nundation at the first freshet-

WARRINGTON, D. G., Dec 5.-Ihe hotels are
crowded with Congressman, and the city begins
to ASSUME the appearance Of session-time. Tha
result of the elections constitutes the main
topic Of discussion, and almost every Congress-
man has his own views OF the causes Of the Re-
publican defeat. The members are scarcely
moro united in their forecasts OF the probabili-
ties OF the session. Some claim that the cloaing

SHIPMENTS IN BOND.


Special Df5pdtch to The Chicago I1iouns.
WABH1xaroy, d. c., Dec. 5--The discovery Of
the system Of smuggling on the northern
borders, By means Of eeal-locks, through bonded
cars, has furnished some Eastern Congress-
men and Eastern merchants with an argu-
ment against the continuance OF the IA"
which permits the importation OF c7rs
with bonded goods in interior ports OF
entry This class of persons make two points
against the law first, that it afords opportu-
nity for smuggling. against which it ls difficult,
il not impossible, to guard; second. that, owing
to the ine1perience Of the Appraisers in tho in
lard cities, OF for other causes, the duties On
aome classes Of goods are frequently less ut tho
inland pozt8 OF entry than at the seaports. There
,s considerable discussion Of this subject among
the more immediate representatives Of the EaAt-
ern cities, but it does net now seem probable
that tho Business opponents OF the present sys-
TEN will have the courage or the following nec-
essary to modify tho Ihrough-Transpottat.o
law.
PROPOSED INVESTIGATION.
It is expected that the recent statements in
theae dispatches relative to the alleged difference
between the Appraisers at Chicago and New York
in the classification OF certain lines Of cotton
goods will result in Investigation into the
facts by the Specia1-A9ency force OF the Trea3-
ury Department. The only official information
that the Treasury has on this subject Is derived
from General Appraiser Meredith. The records Of
the Office OF Commissioner OF Customs, hoH eVer,
show that the Chicago Custom-House, in all the
