WISCONSIN LEGISLATURE.
MADISON, FEB. |, 1875

MADISON, FEB. |, 1875.
Correspondence t" the Tribune:
The Chicago Times says that
"Madison is excited over poultry
show, the senatorial contest and the
Can-Can," but now as the poultry
show has ended and the Can-Can
gone to some other capital city, all
interest again centers in the choice
of a Senator. Every hour the ex-
element becomes more interesting.
Various reports of schemes and COM
binations, by which some favored
candidate is to win are prevalent.
One thing, however, is manifest I'M
less some of those Is senator's, who
have determined not to support
Carpenter, recant, his prospects are
blasted.
There is report circulated that
all Of Carpenters supporters have
determined to stand by him to
the last, even if there should be no
election, but let the Governor make
an appointment and next Fall make
the senatorial question q special
issue. Should this be carried out,
the State would so against Carpen-
ter by at least $4,000 majority.
SO far there has been no material
change from the first ballot.
Judge Cole receives nearly the
entire vote of the boilers among
whom is Kearton Coates, who first
voted for Washburn but since he
has failed Of support now goes for
Cole.
The principal measures intro
duced the last week were: resolu-
tons in reference to legislation re-
garding railroad connections and
cheap transportations were adopted.
Bills to amend chapter 273 of the
laws of 1874, relating to railroad,
telegraph and express companies
were introduced. A memorial to
Congress in reference to concurred
jurisdiction over the islands of the
Mississippi. Petitions for the re-
peal of the law exempting the West
Wisconsin Railway land from taxa
ton. A bill for the repeal of
County Supervisor system of county
government, and to restore commits
sioner system or some similar one.
The nomination of John w. Hoyt,
&. II. Paul and J. II. Osborn as
Railroad Commissioners was con-
tirmed by the Senate. Bills were
introduced to appropriate $4,000 to
the industrial school for current ex-
penses for the year 1875 to the
Hospital for Insane at Madison,
SOB, 800; to Hospital for Insane at
at Oshkosh, slS6,000. A bin author
izing the Mineral Point Railway
Company to change its station and
depot. To facilitate the establish
ment of a law library for the use of
courts and the bar in the eastern
portion of the State.

The Senator question has been
before the people SO long, that the
sickly honor of the Carpenter clique
has become a corpse, that is already
tainted and begins to SAVIOR OF cor
ruption. The seven votes that pre-
vented MATHS election have dozen
times vanished away, as his satellites
have figured ont on paper the State
ticket of next fall, and promised the
highest positions within the gift OF
the people to win over those who
refused to support their leader In
every assembly district, whose rep
resentatives refused to support their
choice, the Carpenter politicians
have been active in circulating
papers, petitioning the Legislature
to turn to his support. In these
cases few politicians and dead
beats, who have desired to have
their names appear among the so
thought prominent men, have signed
the papers and tried to represent
the whole district. Such feeble lob
bies have failed, as they should have
done; and that most eminently In
orr own district for Mr.. Coates
knows the feelings Of the
people he represents, and has man
fully stood by them to have done
would have been the sac
rifice of his trust and honor; and
would have resulted in his condem-
nation by the very men that petit
toned his vote.
And still the Sentinel, and other
organs proclaim the Cor
ruption of the anti-Carpenter men !;
while at the same time there are
many prominent men all over the
State, to whom the nomination Of
some important state office has been
offered by the State Central Com
mittee, if they would use their inhu-
encce for his election. This has
in several districts in the
State, and the same has happened
Indirectly in this city; but our
prominent men have known too
well their own business to be lead
away 10y such seduction, or blinded
by the hollow promises of political
rascals. If such measures are the
last resort of the Carpenter men, it
will be long time before they can
convert honest men to their support,
and just as long before Matt. IL.
Carpenter can become his own sue.

A DISPATCH on Wednesday even
ing states that Angus Cameron, Of
La Crosse, has been elected u. S.
Senator, as successor to Matt. IL.
Carpenter. BY what party or
movement we are unable to say.
He was born in the town of Gale
donna, Livingston county, N. T.,
July 4, 1876; received an academic
education; is by profession law
yer; he came to Wisconsin in 1857,
and settled at La Crosse was elect
ed to the senate for full term in
1852 was member Of the assembly
In 1866 and 1867, and was elected
speaker Of that body the latter
year has been a member Of the
board Of regents Of the University
OF Wisconsin,, since 1867. He re-
ceived 2,7SS votes, against l,OG3 for
William Il. Mcconnell, Dem, in the
district as then constituted.
In oil the positions that Mr.. Cam
sron has held, as far as we have
learned, his honesty and fidelity
have never been doubted, but he has
always been regarded as a man OF
ordinary ability, aud his election
will take 10y surprise most OF those
who know him.

Caucus ON Louisiana Affairs.
The vote in the caucus yesterday was l8
to in favor OF seating Pinchback. There
was another caucus today, when the Re-
publican Senators caucussed five hours. In
resolution to support the President in
what he had done, and to stand by him in
support OF the Kellogg government in all
lawful authority, there were eight dissent
ing votes. The admission Of Pinchback
was not discussed.
A Centennial Regatta Proposed.
[ A large meeting Of the watermen propose

More About the Caucus.
There was five hour caucus to-day over
Louisiana matters. The meeting was
frightfully discordant. 1t is doubtful
whether the eight voting nay will abide the
action. The caucus was quite full. but the
question did not involve Kellogg or, Pinch
back directly. It was simply whether the
President should be sustained ia what he had
done and to sustain him hereafter when with
in the letter of the law. The names of those
who vsted nay and absentees can not be
obtained tonight. Edmunds and Freling-
huysen, the latter the ayowed special friend
OF the colored people, are aloof. No infiu-
entlal or representative man knows what
will happen. Kellogg to the end of his
term and General West as the sole Senator
from Louisiana are merely probable.
On dit in caucus to-day COnkling and
Howe had no objection to Pinchback, but
had not vindicated the Kellogg government,
and in view of the Senate report of 1872,
and the sub-committees report of the
House could not consistently, as lawyers,
sustain the Kellogg government as de jure,
but were willing to sustain the President in
his provisional recognition.
MIR. Morton will change his resolution so
as to seat Pinchback by direct vote.
