for them TO have the resolution voted down, and
many of the Republicans secretly rejoicing that the
case had been got rid of for the present without
yea or nay vote The victory if victory it was, was
on the side of the Democrats for they have succeed
ed in getting the committee virtually under obga-
tons to the Senate to report speedily on the creden-
tals and have besides, called public attention to
the continued violation of the constitutional right
of Louisiana to be represented
The committee, although controlled by as strong
partisans as can be found on thesRepublcan side.
will scarcely venture after the discussion to-day to
keep Mr. Eustis long ont of his seat. Louisiana IS
entitled to two representatives on the floor of the
Senate. Not by her fault but by the action of
the Senate one of the seats belonging to the State
has been kept empty for four years, and the other
for nearly eight months She actually out of the
Union so far any representation is concerned IN
the only branch of the Government where States are
represented. Every day that she is kept out
the Constitution is violated. 1t is, perhaps.
unfortunate that the admission of Judge Spoi-
ford aud Mr.. Eustis would cut down
the Republican majority to two in a full vote, but
the Republicans cannot afford, on tins account, 70

TALK ABOUT THE CAPTOL-wAYNE MCyEAGH AM
The ENGLISH MISSION.
FEY TELEGRAPH TO THE TnBUNEI

tBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TKIBUNE.l
WASHINGTON, Oct 19.-It is understood that SEN
atOr Cameron wants South American Mission Tor
ex- Congressman S. Newton Pettls, of Meadvillc,
with Benjamin Moran at Lisbon, and Wayne Nc
Veagh to go London. 1t might be supposed that
Pennsylvania had a reasonable share of foreign mis-
sions, and would not claim another.
A host of prominent Louisiana politicians are here
looking after appointments and conirmatlons' ana
taking an active interest i'll the contested Senator
ships A number of them get access to the floor OF
the Senate, every day, in spite of the rules Mr. Ed
munds gave Them and other intruders, shot to-
day, when he spoke of the gentlemen who were
"holding convention" back of the seats while he
was trying TO make a speech.
II is reported on what to be good authority,
that the English mission has been offered TO the
Hon. Wayne McVeagh, of Pennsylvania. A dispo-
sition TO appoint him was intimated n week ago,
coupled with the suggestion that all that was
needed to make il ripcn into determination was for
the opposing factions of Pennsylvania politicians to
unite upon him. Probably they have done so,
though not word can be coaXed from Senator
Cameron on the subject. Mr.. McVeagh, although
brother-in-law of the Senator, has never acted in
politics with the Cameron regency, and his sympa-
tines have always been supposed 10 be on the SIDE
of those who wish to rescue the hepuDhcah party
in Pennsylvania from the dominion OF rev ONCE
holders If there was any opposition TO MN that
stood in the way of his appointment, it no doubt
came from Senator CaneTOns friends. Mr.. McVeagh
served with credit as Minister 10 COnstantinOple
during Mr. Lincoln's administration. He has many
qualities fitting him for diplomatic post, among
which are education, culture knowledge OF the
world. secretion tuc conversational powers, ana a
capacity to cat good dinners and say good things al
tcTWaTd.
Frightening, The attitude of the two Senators
from Kentucky, who both favor him. has drawn all
the Democrats 20 his support. Senators Beck ana
McCrcery are influenced partly by state pride partly
by ,her acquaintance with General Harlan and their
knowledge of his character and talents, and partly
by feeling of generosity towards a worthy pOlti-
cal opponent from their own state. member OF
the Judiciary Committee said to-day, that he did
not doubt that there would be a favorable report ON
the nomination. and that the opposition among he
publcans would end in talk

BY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUSBl
WAsuIYGTON Oct. 19.--The Eustis case was
quietly dropped by the Senate to-day, in wholly un-
expected manner and one that was about equally
satisfactory to both sides. Mr.. Thurman had the
floor on resolution to take the credentials from the
Committee on Privileges and Elections, in order
that the claimant might be sworn in He repeated
the facts Of Mr. Eustlss election In 1876, by an
disputed legislature to fill the vacancy created by
the Senate refusing to admit Pnchback, of his hav
Ing been kept out already twenty-five months, and
Of his present attitude as the only claimant of the
seat. On this statement he built one OF his charac-
efstically strong and well-cOnstrncted arguments.
Nh. Edmunds replied by picking flaws in the form
Of the CREDENTIALS which lack the certificate OF the
Governor Kellogg having refused to certify to them,
and were in other respects bungling and irregular.

went on for an hour longer Senators Bayard. Nc
Milan Wadlegh and Mitchell taking part in it, and
all speaking in a subdued prayer-meeting tone pc
cuhar 70 the Senate this session, and, apparently,
coming from the desire Of Senators not TO get excited
about politics, or to excite anybody else. Finally
senator David Davis said that he knew nothing
ABOUT the case, and did not want TO be called on TO
vote upon it, and, as it was in the hands of com
hitee he should vote TO leave it there hoping the
committee would report in few days.
