DENT.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.-The President
in conversation spoke of the proposition
which has appeared in the Chicago and
other Western papers to elect him to the
Senate to succeed Gen. Logan. He
said that his name was first sugges-
ted in this connection by his old friend
Houghton. AS soon as he saw the article
he Immediately wrote to his friends i'll
Illinois that he was not and would not be
candidate for the Senate. He said he
had three reasons for this decision; first,
that although he considers himself
citizen of Illinois, yet de does not consid-
er that he has within the last twenty
years resided a sufficiently continuous
period in the State to entitle him to a
candidacy for the United States Senate;
second, he has been a servant of the
people for the last sixteen years, and af-
ter the 4th of March, he proposes to see
how it will feel to be q sovereign: the
| third and most important reason of all he
says is that hefavors the reelection ofGsn.
Logon as against any other candidate.
He prefers Gen. Logan, he says, because
he is one of the most laborious and in
f1uential members of the Senate, and was
one of the bravest officers in the Union
army. He said he had written to Illinois
that in his opinion it would be nation

SENATOR BoGY ON LOUISIANA.
Senator Bogy, of Mo-, who was mem
| ber of the advisory democratic commit
| tee at New Orleans studied up the whole
| facts of the case with great industry. The
Senator made q speech on Louisiana
affairs in the Senate yesterday and again
| to-day, in which he completely exposed
| the insufficiency of the premises on which
| Senators Sherman and Morton endeavor
| to bolster up the action of the returning
board. Senator Bogy's speeches have
made quite an impression in the Senate
"sELLING OUT HENDRICKS"
| Within the last few days there have
been rumors floating around in political
circles that the friends of Gov. Hend-
| ricks were very much excited and distur-
bed over what they regarded as indica-
tions of a disposition ON the part of the
out" Hendricks, ,ifthereby they can secure
Tilden. These rumors are very widely
circulated, and there are democratic
members of both houses who believe
there is foundation for them. A demo-
cratic Senator said tonight that he had
no confidence in the New York politi.
clans of either party; that they would sell
out anything and anybody to attain their
own ends, and he had believed all along
that they would "sell out" Hendricks il
they could make by it and the opportuni
ty offered. 1t is not to be believed, Of
course, that Gov. Tlden would be party
to anything like, and it is not charged
that he individually would give his con
sent to anything of the kind. Hendricks
is just as much elected as he is, and nc
bargain should be made which will separ
ate the cause of one from the other. As
, already intimated a contingency may oc-
cur which will result in the election o.
Tilden by the House and Wheeler by thu
, Senate. If this comes about legitimately
2 which is by no means improbable, Meth
, er Gov. Hendricks nor his friends woult
complain or have right to complain
But if it comes about through any pre-
concerted arrangement'it would be a
gross q violation of justice and of public
, morals as would be the Inauguration Of
, Gov. Hayes.
SUB-CAUCUS.
, The democratic sub-caucus committe,
met at the Riggs House tonight and con
, sidersd various propositions, and adjourn
} ed without reaching conclusion.
