publicans in the House.
THE NEXT SPEAKER.
FROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 81, 1875.

10 third reading or to o fua vote on the same
day On which IL Is introduced. except by the con.
sent OF three-fourths OF the members This
rule, however, 10 not to apply to any bill
or measure which gives the money or credit OF the
government, except to the regular appropriation
bills, which, beng always considered in Com
mittee OF the Whole, are always subject to debate
II the bearings OF this rule are understood IL
viii probably get the consent OF botn sides OF the
House. 1t 10 very dinerenC from the repeal pro-
posed last Monday. because that was q special
measure openly intended to apply only dur.
Ing the present session and leaving the door
open to Jobs OF all kinds. The new rule now pro-
posed Is to be permanent and expressly excludes
all appropriations OF money from its advantages
and leaves them subject to hiibustering opposi-
tion II this s in any case necessary as t 10 9ener-
ally ackno wledged to be sometimes. A Job tackled
on an appropriation bill In the Senate would have
to undergo q scrutiny In Committee OF the Whole,
where 1t could be debated at length.
A D1sAaREEABLE MIDDLE IN THE SENATE
PNCHBAcK LIKELY TO BE AGAIN sNuBnrD-
HIS ExcE1LENCY OPPOSED TO HIS ADMISSION
AS SENATOR.
Meantime matters are not a. lovely az they
might DO in the Senate. The Senate caucus Is be-
neved 10 have determined that. though the Kellogg
government shall be recognized, Pinchback shall
be refused his seat. HIS Excellency the President
is known 10 be greatly opposed TO tho admission
OF Ptnchback, and has, 1t Is said, expressed his
opposition to his own adherenrs. Many republican
Senators are also adverse to bis admis-
sion. 1t is possible that the Committee
on Elections may report In his favor, but even II
they do not 1t is not now probable that the Sen.
ate will seat him. But Plnchback Is an enterprts
ing person, not easily put down, and he threatens
that II he is not seated this wecK he win 20 down
20 Louisiana aud ming all his forces on the side of
the conservatives. He even threatens to make
matters hot for Kellogg ana to cause his and An.
toine's impeachment aud removal, and there is no
doubt that he Is capable OF making desperate
night and OF pulling others down with himself.
THE DELAY OF TIE REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE
ON ARKANSAS AFFAIRS M
TR1aUEs TO INFLUENCE 1T-HoPE THAT GOV
ERNoR GARLAND WILL BE SUSTAINED.
The long deliberations of the Committee on
Arkansas Affairs have excited the uneasIness OF
the administration men. who hoped for speedier
report and will be bitterly disappointed II the
Garland government is not upset. The committee
consists OF Messrs Poland. Ward and Scudder
republicans, and Saylor and Sloss, democrats.
They are all lawyers and men Of character not
easily managed. and not likely to make q
mere partisan report. There is no doubt
that the administration Is determined, If 1t Is any
way possible, to overthrow the present Arkansas
government, ana 1t Is quite possible that strong
pressure will be brought to bear on the COM
mirtee to make report which will arord excuse
for this outrage. lr was supposed that the
committee would have reported last week, but
their long delay gives ground to hope that
they viii resist the pressure and sustain the
present government. II they do this the Presi-
dent and the administration partisans will re-
ceive q severe blow TO all their plans. The com.
mittee nave kept their deliberations and purposes
profound secret 1t Is believed. however, that
the majority are not at this time inclined to dis
turb or dsposses the Garland government the
report will probably be agreed upon BY next
Thursday. 1t is probable that there will also be
minority report.
THE COMING LOUISIANA REPoRr-THE suB-CoM-
MITTEE's CONCLUSIONS SUPPORTED By THE
CRUMBLINa TO PIECES.
The proceedings OF the Louisiana Committee, as
published in the papers, are read with great IN
terest. IL Is taken Tor granted that the commit.
tee, on the evidence they have heard, must report
tlat the work OF the Returning Board was fraud,
which was the finding OF the sub-com-
mittee, but II they do this, and IT.
as seems probable now, they shall also
have TO report that the last election
was fair and without Intimidation, then 1t would
seem that all pretence ofarmed interference by the
President to prevent the assembling OF the legiti-
mate Legislature OF the State Will DO gone and
with such report before His Excellency, General
Grant, people here do not hesitate to say that his
lurtner efforts to prevent or obstruct the meeting
of the lawfully elected Legislature will be revou.
tionary. The real situation to-day In Louisiana Is
that His Excellency. by the power OF federal
nvovn hltuv nF Co.
Legislature, which, according to a report OF
Congressional Committee, duly accepted ana
presented to the House, was fairly and openly
elected, and In the Lower House, OF which the
conservatives have rightly according to the re-
port, twenty-nine majority; this in State where
no one pretends that civil war or unusual dis.
order threatening to society now prevails. If
Andrew Johnson had done for day even what
His Exceency General Grant has been doing for
nearly month, he would have been impeached
ana summarily removed.
