eers These two classes if they do not constitute
majority of either House, VIII make large and
strong minority, and will make the execution OF the
Presidents plan to say the least difficult.
4 Senator Morton has been spoken OF as convert to
the new election plan. The report that he Will go
back on hs record Of last year is highly lmproba-
HE The confessions which Mr.. Pinchback has
made TO him seem 10 have made
deem IMPRESSION but they do not affect
,he logic of his position. lie has
held that the Senate had night to inquire into the
circumstances of Mr.. Pinchback's election until
after he had been seated. Given Kellogg as dc tGcto
Goyernor and his signature on PHchbacks creden-
tials. and MI Morton has held that the Senate
ought TO inquire no further INTO the case until MI
Pinehback has been seated and SEINE one appears 10
contest.
The confession of MI Pnchback Of Illegal prac-
tees in connection with his election does not change
the state of the case at ALL If his transactions with
Norton furnish any good ground for an inquiry
before his admission then the inquiry cannot stop
until all the circumstances Of the Senatorial cleo
ton are known. Mr.. Morton, speaking for himself,
does not believe that his Committee will reopen the
whole Louisiana question III the consideration OF
the Pinohback case.
Another step IN the Presidents unloading
process is said to be the determination to impeach
Judge Durell and not allow him to resign. The
impeachment is said to be based on acts not of a
political nature.
Adispatch from New Orleans says The Republican
State Central Committee is now in session in the
Senate Chamber. There is a full attendance from
all parts of the State. Resolutions were unanimously
adopted protesting against new election, as likely
70 cost the lives of hundreds OF colored in the
northern parts Of the State and the Red River
parishes.
Mr.. PINCHBACB DETERMINED TO have SEAT IN
THE SENATE OR A NEW ELECTION IN LOUISIANA.

sion.
IGRSERAL FkEts DIsrATcBl
WASHINGTON, Jan. 23-Mr. Pinchback's
friends deny that be made any confession 10 Senator
Morton Of fraudulent practices with reference 10 bis
election by the Kellogg Legislature. They saw IN ex
PLANTATION OF the recent eOmmotion among those int
rested IN the Louisiana case, that when
Senator Morton introduced ms motion to recommit
Pinchbask's case, the latter thought that his
chances for admission the Senate were
thereby, and various statements and threats were
gwen out showing disposition TO turn on the Kellogg
party. Now, however. Mr. Pinchback asserts the con
vienon that upon investigation Of his case the Com
Btee Oh Privileges and Elections will not ind that the
charges against him are sustained. He says he has
been rendered the unanimous support OF the
true Republicans OF LOUISIANA and that thus fortified
he determined to abide the issue Of the Senate The
Kellogg party 1t II said were some what hasty in their
iest regarding new election. They surprised by
Senator Morton's motion But the surprise being over
they now desire MI. Pinchbaeks case shall be TONIGHT
