The Baltimore Sun Of Saturday
June 23rd, contains tho following item
from Washington.
An intimate and confidential fricnt
Of one of the carpet.bag Senators, 0
whom there arc just four loft. statct
yesterday in Wizards Hotel that the,
would most certainly vote with til
Democrats unless what they cousidc
due consideration is accorded to then
by the administration. This "dut
consideration must consist, according
to their ideas, Of the Privilege to con
troll tho federal patronage in their res

tho carpet.bag Senators will max
overturcs tc the Democrats for an alli
cnce which shall include cs Que Of it
provisions g reorganization Of tho com
taittCcs and change of tho officers o.

dimly defined, one Of tho carpet-bug
gcrs went to q prominent Democrat
Senator and said to him that be woul
como over to the Democratic sid
Whenever his vote could DO Of any ben

The fey carpct.baggcrs have it i
their power by goirg together to Civ
the control Of the Senate to tho Dem
