WASHINGTON, March 16-The Pinchback case
TOOK sudden and unexpected turn Tonight ana
much to the regret of a majority of the Senate
Whatever their votes may indicate, its discussion 10
by no means closed. At the evening session only
TWO speeches were made one by Senator Logan
ana one by Senator Morton. The former was
devoid Of any strength of argument, and the
latter was merely repetition ofbs former speeches
Both speakers warned Senator'S that if they failed
to admit Dir. Pinchback. the blood flowing from
future outrages and riot would be upon their hands
Mr.. Morton closed his speech at about 1l:l5, when
Mr.. West-uncxpectedly to majority of
the Senate, and to some of the
friends Of Mr. Pinchback-m0ved TO postpone
the case until the second Monday in December next.
Mr. Logan, who had protested so strongly that
there would bc trouble unless Mr.. Pinchblck was
admitted, was taken with amaZement and conster-
nation, and refused to vote whom his namo
was called. After the close of the poll call
he explained that he thought his political
friends were making great mistake but not de-
string to vote against his party, he withheld his
vote. The case postponed by vote Of SO to 30.
Three Republicans, Messrs. Booth, ChIistancy and
Hitchcock, voted III tho negative. Tho Senate adj
Journed at hall-past II.
Senator West said, after tie close Of the session,
that the object Of the Plnchback party was to de-
feat the NewYorlK Legislature meaning the LouiSi-
ana Committee now sitting in New-York. He said
that the only way to beat majority was to post
rbne decision as long possible The scheme
which resulted 50 successfully was arranged to-
night and was not thought Of until after Mr. Logan
made his speech. Gen. Butler - credited with
having originated tho idea Tho object
is to draw the party lines closely that no Repub-
lcan can escape. If tho compromise is successful
Conservative Will probably be elected by the Legs-
lature and tho Issue at the beginning OF the NLlVth
Congress will be Mr. PincAback on one side and
Conservative on the other. Mr.. Pinchback, how
ever, said tonight that if the Conservatives were
admitted in the Legislature there would be tie
between the Democrats or Conservatives and the
Republicans
Pnchback is himself very much ela.ed at this
last movement, and thinks that he viii st9ad bet
ter chance Of admission next Winter thaI he would
stand now.
