U. S. sBNATE-BXTRA SESSION.

In the Senate on the 18th, Mr.. Edmunds
moved to amend the Pinchback resolution SO
as to read that he ''be not admitted to seat
in the Senate" After speeches.by Messrs.
Thurman and Morton, Senator Whyte, of
Maryland, made an able and elaborate. argu-
ment against the admission of Pinchbaok.
The discussion of the resolution for the adj
mission of Pinchback was continued on the
18th.
On Tuesday the Piuohbacb case was dis
cussed by Senator Edmunds, of Vermont,
who, though pronounced republican, made
q most effective and logical argument against
the admission of Pinchbaek. One of the
Senators characterized it as a "democratic
speech by republican" Senators Howe and
Logan advocated Pinchbaek's claims, after
which Mr.. Morton closed the debate in earnest
advocacy of the same. A motion was then
made and carried to postpone the further con-
sideration of the matter uutiluext December.
This unexpected result, as an exchange says,
was reached through an unmanly surrender to
mere party gag and to fancifal bugaboo con-
jured by Pinchback, to the effect thar if he
were refused seat in the Senate vacancy
would thereby be declared, and the present
Legislature of Louisiana would elect con-
sentative Senator.
On Wednesday. the Hawaiian treaty was
considered in executive session, and a resolu>
ton was adopted authorizing the committee
on reorganization of the several branches of
civil service to sit during the recess aud to
send for persons and papers.
On Thursday, resolution that the Senate
adjourn sine die on Saturday was laid over,
and resolution adopted authorizing the.'com-
mittce on contingent expenses to sit during
the recess.

This appropriation, like the one of same

Gates the proper feeling of the Legislature

standing many other appropriations. with large

fact that owing to the time occupied by the
Senatorial contest and the removal of the

and determination, he kept this one before the

THE oAPITAL QUESTION.
From the Wheeling Register of the 18th
~. liz. H.. f.lIo.-ire. i,ar,

From the Wheeling Register of the 18th
we clip the following item:
At meetingof the bar of Charleston, held
last Saturday night week, it was resolved to
make a last effort to-saye the Capital from
being. removed from that place, and their plan
is to get out an injunction. In accordance
with this resolve, Judge Ferguson, ~. A.
Quarter and E. w. Wilson, were appointed
a committee to prepare aud take charge of the
case. The application for an injunction will
be made betoreJ Judge Smith, of thesK anawha
circuit, or Judge Ward, of the Cabell circuit,
either of whom will, of course, grant an in
junction. The object of7the Charleston PEG
pie will be toedelay theamatter as long:as pos
sible, SO as to preventive matter from being
time to be presented before the Court of
Appeals, which meets here in.lJune next, or
at the August term of the court4whichis held
at CharlestewD. If they were successful in
this game, the Legislature would have to meet
again in Charleston next November, and they
would make tremendous effort to have the
removal. bill repealed.
The Charleston Courier closes an article
on the capital question, as follows:
To return to the matter we started-to dis
cuss, We would not advise the people Of
Wheeling to spend their proposed 81, GOO, geo
in building Capitol. They don't seem dis
posed to be precipitate about it, and we don't
blame them. .
The agitation of.the Capital question has
but just commenced. 1t will not be suspen.
ded for q single hour after the Legislature
shall convene. Our people propose to re-
locate It at Charleston, IF they can they of
fer this as the promptest and best mode for
redressiEg a gross and unmerited outrage
Failing this, they want permanent location,
and the discussion will be up till they get it.
