ENr sTAIUs-rHE ALTERNATIVE.
rRou . REGULAR CORRESPONDENT OF the TRBrSE.
WASHINGTON, Feb lit il understood that Mr..
Pinclback is losing his temper at the treatment he
is receiving from his Republican friends in the SEN
ate and particularly from his colleague, Mr. West.
Mr. Morton, in accordance not only with his own
fcclnss, but with the action of a majority OF the
Committee on Privileges and Elections, Is in favor
Of immediate action by the Senate, and unless some
decisionto the contrary is made by the Executive
session or caucus, he will take the earliest oppor-
tunity to bring the matter to vote of the Senate.
II j. certain that the State OF Louisiana lscntt!ed 10
full Senatorial representation and that for several
years Mr. Vests has been tho only vote east III the
Senate from that State. Nj Pinchback is either the
Senator or he is not the Senator and it is dne 10 the
State lac to represent that the Senate should
decide which of these positions is correct Mr. West.
for reasons best known to himself IL III reality OPP
posed 10 Mr. Pinchback's admission. lie prefers TO
he the sole representative of Louisiana on the floor
of the Senate and to control all OF the
patronage. lie IT, therefore, secretly in favor
of postponing the consideration of the Pinch
back ease until next April, or until after the
adjournment of the present Democratic Legislature,
which is now sitting in New-Orieans.
Mr. Pinchback, in the mean time has come to the
conclusion that his case hangs on very brittle
thread II is understood that six Republican scna-
tors from New-England, namely Morrill, tNlc). Nor
rl Vtl, Dawes, Edmunds, Burnside, and Wadleigh,
are opposed to him, besides Mr. Chrlstancy and
enough other Republicans to prevent his admission.
MIR. Morton takes tho ground that Louisiana Is
entitled to full representation, and that Immediate
action is demanded. IT, however, he is by direct
vote declared not to bc elected, not entitled to
seat, vacancy is thus declared in the Senate-a
vacancy which the Democratic Legislature VIII at
once proceed to fill. But if the can be set aside
until the adjournment of the Legislature Mr. Finch
back may then he declared not elected and Kellogg,
the presunptive Governor, who, III this case as Ill
few others, acts with Mr. West, may appoint MIR.
Casey or Mr.. Packard, some other white Admlnls-
tration Republican, to the vacancy.
Mr.. Pinchback, however, hesitates Mt being made
a convenience of in this manner, and will not carry
out the part assigned him i'll the arrangement III
he cannot obtain a speedy vote, his friends say he
will be likely to resign, make terms with the Demo-
Gratis, and defeat the carpet-baggers after ALL

TIE ONLY FEATURE OF YESTERDAY IN THE ROUSE
THE DEMOCRATS AvTEsE TO PRESENT ACTION
AN ADVERSE VOTE OF SO TO 1877.
lBY TELEGRAPH To THE TglBUSEI
WASHINGTON. Feb 1.-the single interesting
feature in the House proceedings to-day was the vote
upon the financial resolution introduced By Eugene
Hale OF Maine. Tins resolution was similar to that
which he attempted to introduce earlier in the
session. and was in substance the one 10 which Mr.
Blaine spoke in the delivery of his great speech last
week II rccitcd the present condition of the de-
prcciatcd currency set forth the character of the
irredeemablc paper money, and showed that both Of
the gccat parties in the platforms adopted at their
party conventions are committed in favor of specie
resumption: aud then declared IT 10 be the sense Of
the House that prompt measures should be taken
10y such legislation is needed TO render cfectual
the policy Of resumption of specie payments, by
placing the hands Of the Secretary of the Treasury
all necessary power TO accomplish this object 10 the
end that 4 sound and suitable currency may be pro-
vidcd for the people.
This resolution received So affirmative and 1877
negative votes two-thirds being necessary for its
passage IL cannot he said that this resolution was
absolutely party vote does il indicate tho rel
alive strength of the innationsts and advocates of
hard money in the House The Republican hard
money vote was solid for the resolution. Not more
than five or six of those that side of the House
who arc in favor of n sound currency were absent.
Many harl-mOncy Democrats, on the other hand,
voted against the resolution the ground that they
do not wish 10 commit themselves to indefinite
measures that they do not believe in the policy laid
down III the act of Jan. II, 1879 and because this
whole subject has been submitted to their party
caucns and they d sire 10 wait for its action before
they give their support in any way to any financial
policy.

Legislature of that State was recently
despoiled of several thousand dollars
by c. unity judge--and professional

Then this writer goes on to tell of a
fne Ave story edifice which has been
bought by a faro-desler, and will be
sumptuously furnished, with view to
accommodating the luxurious tastes of
Il legislators who are fond of sporting:
.sIt is almost by the side of the
aubernatorial mansion. and its close
neoximity to the Capitol gates makes
a a most convenient place of resort
for members of the Legislature.
