WASHINGTON, March 23, 1875.
sent my last letter TO you with the
thought and hope that it was to be the final
one on the proceedings of the extra session
of the senate. But all me And oh your
readers 1t is disappointed hope. But
let us take courage, and hope once more
that the present week may see an end of
all this work among the blathcrskites of
the senate All this witless fret and tumult
that VIC hear, does "seem more stale than
to the sections ear his own dull chimes"
That graceless sealot Mr.. Frelinghuysen
could not manifest any nobleness of con-
tented mind over the disposition of the
Pinchback question, and SO must needs fill
the political pipe once more, and bid his
brothers of the senate linger while longer
and smoke it. But he filled it with weed
stronger than those of his own household
could comfortably smoke. They felt that
they could safely puff on resolution that
asked simply for an approval of the Presi-
dent'sacton in protecting Louisiana, but not
on one that expresses ''the opinion that
he should continue TO recognize in that
state the existing state government. Con-
| sequently Mr.. Anthony offered resolu-
ton ON Saturday, differing from Mr.. FIRE.
| linghuysen's in that it does not in words
ask the President to continue his past ac-
tion, although it expresses an approval of
that action, which might be considered a
taclt request for its continuance, and
| neither does it contain the words "the ex-
listing state government" Thus has the
Louisiana matter become at length like a
great black, poisonous spider, which,
though brushed off in one way and another,
persistently crawls back upon our national
councils hopes of adjournment. Though
some friendly hand brushes it away, as did
Mr.. Edmunds and Mr.. Christiancy, in their
able opposition to the admission of Pinch,
back, yet still it crawls offensive to some
of the good members. A few of these last
wearied and disguised, have gone home
leaving the thing to crawl as 1t will. The
republicans threaten to begin to-day ,h'
incubating process of sitting on the ques
ton In continuous session until the demo
Gratis are tired of their posture, and the lat
ter threaten not to weary II it takes al
summer to kill the resolution made to stant
by the President. So far on this new pre-
sentation of the matter they have had tn
monopoly of all the talking that has beef
done, which the republicans concluded +
grant them, and almost every seat on tn
republican side is vacated during the de
bate.
J ANDY JOHNSON HAS SPOKEN AT LAST.
, The recent resolution SO stirred his SOU
r within him that his tongue became looscned
and he was brought to his feet last Satul
, day night at the comfortable speech max
ing hour of half-past eleven. But he wa
T prevailed upon to give way until Monda
Q when he made two hours speech, mol
8 outstanding he began by saying he ha
r but few words TO offer, and should disaT
6 point the evident expectation of Ion
i speech that seemed to prevail. His sol
