EUsrIS TO BE ADMITTED.

speedily be admitted as Senator from
Louisiana for the term ending March
Sd, 1879. In full meeting of the
Committee on Privileges and Elec-
tiOns it was determined to report his
case favorable, and as there is no con-
testant he bids fair to be sworn in
without delay. The resolution was
adopted in committee by the vote of
Messrs. Wadleigh, Mitchell, Hoar
salisbury, Merrimon and Hill
three Republicans and three Demo-
Gratis. The nays were given by
Messrs. Cameron of Wisconsin Nc
MILAN and ingalls,. When Eustis is.
admitted there will be full repre-
sentation of all the States for the first
time since the Forty second Congress
in the Senate. That body will then
embrace 81 Democrats and 80 Repub-
iicans; that is, if Mr.. Sharon cOncluds
to forsake the San Francisco Stock
Exchange for his place in the Senate
Chamber. This count places Judge
Davis permanently among the Dem
ocrats, where he can hardly be said
to be a fixture. Without Sharon,
however, the actual Republican ma
Jorlty will be only one, and subject
at any moment 10 the fluctuations of
MIR. Patterson, whom neither party
is placing much reliance upon at this
moment.
THE BUSINESS OF CONGRESS.
The extra session has extended
over two months, and the net result
OF 1t, so far as legislation is concerned
is the passage of the army appropria-
lions and the Naval Deficiency Bill.
OF the eighteen hundred bills intro
duced in the two Houses not another
one has become law. The bills for
the remonetizing Of silver and repeal
OF the ReSump ion act are hanging
i'll the Senate, and the Paris Expo,i-
ton bill is pending in the House,
with the Senate amendments to it.
All this unfinished business will hold
It's place in the regular session, and
come up iii its order. Among the
nominations left oyer are those of W.
IL Smith to b7 Collector of Customs
at Chicago, and John Baxter, to be
Circuit Judge for the Fifth Circuit.
