ate 10y IL vote Of thirty-three yeas to
thirty nays pastpored the further con-
sidcratiOn of the resolution for the adj
mission of Pinchback until the second
Monday Of December next.
Andrew Johnson will not likely be
drawn into any discussion in the SEN
ate during this session. He says he
has no new points to make regarding
the Pinchback case, which he thinks
has really no foundation, anyhow, the
fallaciOusneSs of the claim has already
been clearly and fully demonstrated by
senators. The intended screnade to
Mr.. Johnson, on which occasion it was
hoped, or expected, he would pay his
respects to some of those gentlemen
WHO in former years had fought him so
bitterly and unrclentingly, has been
indefinitely postponed.
Another eX-member of congress has
been nominated by the president to Il
federal office, which in point of salary

came necessary TO xiii them to accom-
piinI4 the desderatum. Certain friends
of Forrest wrote him at once. The
publication was made asking if he had
been correctly reported. In reply he
says that he never heard of such a
place as Mulloon, Tennessee that he
has not made public speech for two
years, and that he has never uttered
such sentiments either publicly or pri-
vately. He says further: ~ am sat
isiied that there is party in the south,
who have come among us since the
war, that are doing everything in their
power to engender bad feeling between
the races, and create animOsity be-
tween the president and the southern
people. 1t is my desire to see the

sacred above everything elsc.u
