cluded the speech which he began last Satur-
day, taking strong Administration ground,
abusing Wilt, and defending Sheridan,
whose kilograms he said were all true. The
speech created no sensation, but is considered
as exhaustive Of the Radical view of the
situation in Louisiana.
Senator Johnston, Of Virginia, got the
floor, but had only spoken short time when
he yielded to motion for executive session.
In the feW. remarks he made the senator cbaf.
lenged comparison of Virginia with any
State in the Union with respect to obedience
to the laws and proper obedience of the
rights Of all citizens, and secuted the idea
that certain senator's have endeavored to set
up before the country that there is a feeling
extant throughout the South in favor of a
new rebellion. saying emphatieally that he
doubted the sincerity of the senator's who
have stated it.
Mr. Pinchback is getting to be very much
of white elephant in the Radiclls' posses

and doubt the propriety, in partisan point
of view, of not admitting him, SO that to-

new credentials were referred to the Com.

was hardly expected, and was rare dsap-
pointnent to Pinchback; but had they not
been so referred debate would have opened
that would have equlled In bitterness any
discussion that has taken place for long

Republicans who would join with the Dem.

York, and had stated that he could control six
votes against the bill, and he wanted>hs in
fluence with the six opposing votes silenced.
Ie gave Randall the S35, 900 to use for this
purpose, and he had not the slightest doubt
but that he spent every cent Of i. in that
direction. He looked on the "bear move.
