The Radical senators are awaiting with
some anxiety 10 hear the effect OF the PreS-
dents message on the country. They are
becoming lltic FESTIVE. and are now quite
wiling that tie debate should be brought
to a CLOSE. Some Of them have Intimated
that it ought to be concluded this week.
Probably some half-dcZsn OF the Democratic
senator's desire set 10 speak on the subject, in
Guiding the two south Carolina senators and
Mr.. Stevenson. Whether the time will be
given them depends on the opinion Of the
ulsjoriiy rs 10 the party advantage or disad-
vantage If the debate is permitted to SO on
next week.
SMoTuERRD DOCUMENTS.
one significant fact has been noted in con.
ncc.i9n with the documents sent in by the
President. II" onits from them the tele-
grams addressed 10 him by Governor Nc.
Emery, and what Is more important, he does
not include al of the orders and correspond
cuce with General Sherd N. some of which
would shed much light on the subsequent
transactions. What is gwen shows conclusive
l. hat has already been stated in this CORE
spoudencc: that General Sheridan was sent
for certain partisan objects since made appa-
rent, and that he fully understood what was
expected OF him. and proceeded to carry it
out according 10 MS own ideas. II all the
correspondence which has passed between
the White House, the War Department, and
General Sheridan was given, 1t would leave
no ioothold OF defence for the Administers
ton and its supporters.
WHAT WILL THEY DO ABOUT IT:
In regard 10 what is likely to be done it
does not seem probable in the temper Of the
Senate that anything will be done 20 relieve
the people of Louisiana OF the incubus press,
ing them TO the earth, bot If any additional
proscriptve character. Ii need not be
surprise if it is now determined to admit
Pinchback, and speedily.
LET Us HAVE PEACE.

subcommittee which went To New Orleans
SAYS all that the people want is peace. HI

CAUCUS or REPUBLICAN SENATOR'S.
II has been determined by the Republican
senators to ho!G Louisiana caucus in day
or two. There will be TWO questions pre-
,enteu for the decision of the caucus. Firs!
the absolute recognition of the Kellogg gov
ernment; and second, the ordering OF q new
election. In conversation to. night an int1u
entia! Radical senator said that the caucus
would have very animated discussion be.

THE LOUISIANA COMMITTEES REPORT.
The subcommittee on southern affairs
Hessrs. Foster, Phelps, and Potter, submit
ted their report to the general committee to-
day, but the committee declined to make il
public. A pressure was brought to bear
upon Mr.. Foster TO induce him to modify
the report. The subcommittee, it is under.
stood, intimate that the Kellogg government
is fraud, and that Kellogg was not really
elected in 1872. The general committee do
not wish to submit that report. Mr.. Hoar
and others urge that the time afforded the
sub committee while in New Orleans, if it
had been devoted wholly to the one point of
the validity Of the Kellogg government, was
not sufficient for an exhaustive examination
OF the whole question. SO grave question
should not be lightly decided, and that it
would be better for the whole committee to
60 10 New Orleans and carefully examine
the subject, hearing all parties and going
thoroughly through the whole matter. This
would be better than for subcommittee to
make report upon a partial examination.
Mr.. Fosters view OF the case is not COM
planned OF, but the fact that the examination
was not thorough, and the possibility of an
erroneous judgment under such circum-
stances, is strongly urged by prominent Re
publican leaders. If Mr.. Foster should
agree to modify his report, which does not
seem likely, the whole committee will go to
New Orleans. II he sticks, the report will
have to be made to the House, because
Mes,rs. Phelps, Potter, Foster, and Marshall
will certainly vote in favor OF 1t. This is 4
majority OF the committee. The other mem
bers are Mc>srS. &. f. Hoar, Wheeler, and
Frye. They will probably oppose the report
beiog made TO the House.
