WAsHINaroN, January 20. The notorious
negro Pinchback, OF Louisiana, finds the
prize Of q seat in the Senate fading from his
vision, and has now to mourn the almost
certain prospect of being slaughtered by
those he had relied upon to be his moststead-
fast supporters. His personal conduct is to
be investigated, and under that order this
representative $50 called) of Louisiana will
be permanently laid on the shelf.
The speech of Senator Gordon to-day at
tracted very great attention, it being the
first set speech from the South on the fnan-
cisl situation since the present debate began;
and while there are many who dissent from
the views of the distinguished Georgian, the
expression is generalthat he delivered his im-
pressions in manner that commended them
to the earnest attention Of the best financiers
in the Senate.
: Senator 0glesby, Of Illinois, made the first
speech of his term to-day in presenting
memorial from the National Board of Trade
in relation to deepening and improving the
inland waters of the United States. His
conclusions were that the Government pos
sesses the right to construct railways and
regulate freights, but at this time he is not
prepared to vote the money necessary for
the construction of such lines. TIMoN.
