work Of the Senate Committee will be
necessarily slow at first, as the object ol
the committee Is to obtain from the Re.
turning Board the aggregate vote Of the
State as returned by the Supervisors oi
the different parishes; secondly, the votes
Of the parishes rejected by the Board,
and also the vote OF the precincts in sew.

It Is doubtful II the committee will be
subdivided, as was done by the House
committee, as n large number Of wit

The Committee hope TO fnhh their
work by the 10 Of January, but ii ID
hardly probable that it can be done by
that time. Thus far the House Commit
Tee have examined no witnesses on The

elimination. The select Committee 10

for the State expense by means Of pro.
visional grants, under his signature. In
