WASHIAGTUN, Nov. 20.-The majority
Of the members OF the Senate Committee
on Privileges and L ections are keeping
up the old game oil delay. They have
refused so lar to act on the case OF MIR.
Butler, and yesterday they refused the
request of the Democrats TO take
up the case of Eustis. They
sat two hours, Of which time one
and half hours were spent
by the Republican members discussing
whether they would meet to-day or not.
The sub, committee Will report to the
full committee their attempt 10 get from
hessrs. Spofford and Kellogg certain
admitted facts as basis Of action by
the committee. The game OF the major
ity undoubtedly will be to get a report
in favor OF Kellogg, aud, il possible, Sc
cure his admission at all early period.
DEMOCRATIC SENATORIAL CAUCUS.
The Democratic Senatorial caucus
yesterday postponed action until they
would take on the cases of Butler and
Eustis. Judge Thurman is authorized
to move in the Senate to discharge the
Committee from the further cunsidera
tion OF the case, and it is now expected
that he will make the motion to-day
The Republicans have three absentees
namely, Sharon, Blaine and Matthews
Sharon can not leave California at this
time on account of his private inter
ests. Mir. Blaine is paired with Mr.
Lamar. Mr.. Matthews, on the question
OF discharging the committee, would
probably vote no. Several Republicans
are expected to vote for dis
charging the committee. One of these il

who has said from the beginning thai
Butler was entitled to his seat. Genera
Butler is hopeful ofsuccess. Tae chances
seem to be that Butler and Eustis will
both be seated, and that Kellogg's will be
the last case disposed Of
THE NOMINATIONS.
A report prevails that all the nomina
tiUns now hung up in the Senate will be
acted on in day or two. Ii this be
not done, it is probable that motion
will be made in open Senate, and car
IieL, to discharge the committees from
the further consideration Of these cases
This would insure the confirmation O
Harlan and the New York appointees
but of course the motion will be bitterly
resisted by the ring of Republican
Senators who have 80 long ruled the
chamber.
THIRD DISTRICT OF LOUISIANA.
The case Of Acklen vs.. Darral, now
before the Committee on Elections, has
been assigned to a subcommittee oom
posed Of Messrs. Ellis, of Louisiana
Harris, OF Virginia, and Cox, OF Ohio.
THE COLORADO CASE.
The Colorado case will soon be de
cided. The committee is much divided
Four Democrats are for seating Patter-
son, but Messrs. Ellis and Cox are fol-
declaring the seat vacant, and this
course Is most likely to be adopted.

MARYLAND HORsEs.-0ur superior breed of
racing stock has just won another triumph at Je-
rome park. Governor Bowies FLY 0riole won
handsome victory against strong field, in which
the odds were strongly against her. The race was
sweepstakes, mile and half, and the time 2.443.
The second race was handicap, mile heats.
Gov. Bowie's chestnut FLY Mary won this also,
winning the first and fourth heats, thereby show
ing bottom as well speed. 1t is worthy of note
that these two FLIES half sisters, the dam be-
ing My Maryland, and in thus showing both
speed and endurance prove the nobility of her
strain. Mary was the favOrite in the handicap,
and was freely offered against the field, which
shows that her merit and her ancestry were fully
appreciated by judges of horsefesh. The steeple
chase was won by Mr.. A. d. Browns celebrated
horse Coronet who has SO often been victor in
brilliant races of this kind. The steadiness and
precision with which he clears the barriers, TAX
ing the hurdles and water gaps in his stride, and
| doing more work than is necessary, and then
his speed in the quarterstretch, all Of these mako
him favorite in any field. These three races
show the high qualities of the Maryland stock in
the three great essentials high-mettled speed,
endurance and activity. They also show capacity
for good training and discipline. Their beauty
speaks for itself.-BaltO. Gazette.

ter B. Haley, indicted for assaulting Leander Me-

Thursday of last week, the defense offered Mrs.
