WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-The President
IS preparing a message, which he will
send to the Senate after submitting Il
to the Cabinet, in which lie will male
a plain but elaborate statement of facts
in connection with federal proceedings
in Louisiana in support of the United
States Courts. The President is on
posed to any legislation by Congress or.
dcrinS a new election in Louisiana. al
though he had not hesitation in saving
thst .here is nj doubt that the late cleo.
ton was an organized fraud from be-
ginning to end, for the benefit of those
now i'll possession of the Government
of that State, and that there has not
yet been a fair count of the votes: TINT
the pre.ened result has been reached by
dishonest means too we'll known to le
repeated. Still, it is his opinion, as
privately expressed recently, that Con-
gress has no more right to order a new
election in Louisiana than it has in any
other State, because of local conflict, all
the States now being on an equal status
in tho Union, and entitled to the sams
general protection from illegal or un-
constitutional interference by any
branch of the Federal Government as
they are against invasion.
Prospective Al; ournmcnt Of Congress.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.--Consressmen
are already besigning to speculate con-
corning the possibility of an adjourn
ment on May LIST. They argue that
now that the House has assumed such a
position as regards retrenchment, no
bills taking money from the Treasury
can possibly command attention from
Congress at this session, except orui-
nary appropriation bills.

which will soon be introduced in Con-
grcss, is briefly rs follows: All land of

bonds running for thirty years to n linn
tied sum per mile, and III for consid-
Grafton of such accommodation the Com
pany propose to pay the Government II
libcrablc percentage on the gross earn
inrsandthus save the Government from
loss.
/ strong Opposition to secretary N'ciAuru-
CON.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-The question
of currency imitation continues to DO
the principal topic of interest hero.
The best considered opinion is that
nothing can pass the House which in
any way rebukes Secretary Richardson's
issue of a portion of the legal tender
reserve, or which shall restrict his
power to issue the entire forty-four mil
lions. Chances favor the latter measure
under the earnest recommendation OF
Boutwell, and other Administration
Senators, Notwithstanding there il q
strong current of Republican sentiment
in the Senate opposed to imitation on
the part of men who still hope that the
rapid cheapening of money at all finan-
cial ccnters and increasing revenue re-
ceipts, may yet induce Secretary Rich
ardson to withdraw his appeals for
more currency. Dissatisfaction with
Richardson's administration of the
Treasury is widespread and hourly in
creasing among the staunchest supper
tiers of Grant. Nobody questions his
integrity, and scarcely anybody ques-
tons his incompetency to grasp
the vital financial issues of the day.
The rumors of his resignation have
their origin simply in the concur
renee of opinion that the honest and in
telligent pressure against him must
soon be needed by the President.
