The Pfnchback Case Efforts to
Postpone ITS COnsidera ton.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 10. There
is an evident disposition ON the
part Of the republicans to stave
off the Pinchback issue. The ma
chinery is proyid d.
The most reasonable theory is
that the rejection of Pincllback,
now that all personal objection to
him has been abandoned, will be
regarded MS an expression on the
part of the Senate unfavorable to
tgae legality, and 4 dangerous to the
stability of the present govern
tnent III Louisiana, from top 10

Mr. Marton's present figures
give the seat to Pinchback bg two
