POLITICAL ON DIT.
The Irresistible Crisis.

water, this fight between Houso "nu SoAe'
and Judging from the proportions of the caput
it has very large body. The Senate, having
: Radical majority, will attempt to hold over
the House the Damocles sword of adjourn
ment sine die in order to keep the Conserva-
tives quiet; but they know, at the same Time,
how suicidal to their own interests such o
course must be.
Kellogg is endeavoring to adjust these
differences and bring about quiet in his hap
Nv family, but he finds it difficult work.
Everything is exceedingly lively about the
old hotel and something will turn up to-day
going to show that adjustment don't exactly
adjust.
sauce for the Goose, Etc.
There is great dissatisfaction on the part of
Radical Senators over the lack of patronage
their party have received in the organization
OF the House.
They allege that now they don't propose to
give the Conservatives more than they can
help, and Kellogg, it is reported, feels some
what like going back from his old stand and
compromise. They say that turn about is
fair play, and if the House travels on party
lines the Senate can do the same thing.
The Conservative Caucus.
There was q meeting of the Conservative
members of the House at 104 o'clock this
morning and quorum present. The ques-
ton of seating the four unseated members
came up, and it was reported action would be
taken some time to-day in their cases. The
Republicans in the Senate are rampant over
this, and on the floor could be heard ex-
pressions sounding much like determine
ton to adjourn sine die ii the Conservatives
took this step.
Pinch was circulating around considerably,
and it is not all improbable that when the
House committee, to whom was referred
the question, make their report, the pro-
gramme in the Senate will be developed.
Those -Four Members.
The question Of the right Of Rochon, Floyd,
Nartinette and Reichard, the men seated at
tho regular session, to occupy the seats of
Democratic members. was raised yester-
day and will probably be tested to-day,
and . lively fight is expected. The
Faithful declare that if these men are unseated
it will be veritable violation of the compro-
mise compact, and they propose dreadful
things if the Conservatives do put them out.
The most direful threat is that as soon as it
is done the Senate will adjourn sine die. This
is generally believed to be merely bluff game
to catch Democratic votes and give certain
Conservatives who are supposed to be pledged
to vote against the unseating of the men,
something to fall back on.
The non-compromise Conservatives will go
solid to put them out, and there is much
curio sity to see how the compromise men
will vote.

Impeachment Talk.
The faithful cannot be happy unless they
have something to talk about The re-organi-
cation of the House occupied them for some
time, but that is no longer theme worth
Grating on. There is only one little matter
connected with it that remains open for any
very animated discussion, and that is the
question Of those four members, and that is
not sufficient and they have again COM
menced to talk about impeachment just
prior to the opening of the session, Hawkins,
Judge of the Superior District Court, was
the man.
They were "going for" him. Hawkins was
to be thro IN or. and his court abolished. It
was all to be done to scare Clinton, and pun
ish "the Judge" But Clinton did not scare
worth cent. and now they are trying it
again. They are now talking Of impeaehing
Clinton. 1t was asserted yesterday that arti-
cles would be fled to-day. It is possible, but
not probable. that they will be. There is too
much "-b!uff" in this business throughout,
and it is not safe to take anything for granted
in reference to it.
Clinton takes the matter coolly, and to all
appearance does not count it anything more
than talk.
