WASHINGTON, March II.

Senator Morton will make an effort
to have the case of Kellogg, claiming
a seat as Senator from Louisiana,
acted on at this session of the Senate,
and the impression prevails that a
favorable report on his case will be
made by a majority of the Committee
on Privileges and Elections on Tues.
day next. 1t is not certain, however,
that the Senate will agree to act on the
case now, as a number of Republican
Senators prefer to let the matter rest
for the present rather than take II
action upon the veXed Louisiana ques-
ton, which might he embarrassing to
the Administration, when, by permit.
ting Kellogg's cast TO go over until the
next session, it will he determined
with much less discussion than if the
attempt We're made to do so now, and
besides, the matter may he virtually
settled by the Executive Department
of the Government before that time.
1t is said the Democrats will vote in
favor of postponing The case OF Kel
logg until next session, and IN view of
all the circumstances it is believed that
the Kellogg case won't be disposed Of
before next winter. The same may be
said OF the South Carolina contest.
Should these cases go over, the special
session of the Senate will probably
close before the end OF the present
week, as the Executive business can
be disposed OF in a few days.
The President and Cabinet are in
daily receipt of letters and kilograms
from prominent persons of both polit-
ical parties in approval of the national
course indicated as the rule of the
Government.
The Democratic papers to-day pub
lish editorials commendatory of Hayes
policy and in striking contrast with
their recent utterances, taking a very
cheerful view of the situation. The
Sunday Herald says President Hayes
is beginning very early 10 justify the
hopes entertained by the better ele-
ment of his party and to disappoint
machine politicians and malignants.
| All that he has said and done thus far
goes to show him to be not only an
earnest and sincere but wise man.
The Herald also declares that although
some fanatical Republicans and some
passionate Democrats may strive to
weaken his Administration, neverthe-
less, ii he ~perseveres in the course he
has marked out, the heart of the
country will turn toward him, and the
strong hands OF its yoemen will sus.
tain him. Even Don Piatt's Capital
praises him by saying, under the cap
ton of Hayes at the Helm" 1.-THE
first moves Of this gentleman pains
one that he was not honestly elected
President of the United States. His
firmness is all the pleasanter from the
fact that it is unex pected. He applies
the knife to evils in his W party aud
kicks aside in scorn the dirty ladder
on which he assembled TO power, and
with that ladder falls much of the i'll
that afllicts u unhappy country"
The throng of ofiice-seekers from
all parts of the land, who c~ongregated
here during the past fortnight have
mostly returned home wiser and sad
der, but a considerable number still
remain freighting the air with doleful
predictions that the party will DO ru-
ined by Schurz and Key in their ex-
pected administration of the Interior
and Postofice Departments. These
disappointed office-seekers, and some
other Republicans, who might be bet
ter informed, express especial fear that
the vast patronage of the Postofhce De-
partment, with its forty thousand en-
ployes throughout the country, will
be used by the new Postmaster Cen
eral for the benefit Of the Democrats.
