RETURN OF TEE MORRISON LOUISIANA CON.
MITTEE.
WARRINGTON, Jan. 22.-The Morrison
Louisiana Committee have returned here
and had their first meeting to-day. They
propose to submit their report as speedily
as possible, and for that purpose will sit
during the session of the House. There will
be two reports, the Democrats submitting
their version of the means by which the
elections were carried and the Republicans
theirs.
THE ELECTORAL BILL.
Senator Morton says that his mail this
morning brought largely increased acces,
sions to the endorsement already received
of his position on the electoral bill. The
same approval from his people at home has
greeted the course of Mr.. Edmunds.
Mr.. Morton is not sangnine Of defeat of
the bill in the Senpte. He thinks It rests
entirely with the Democrats. Mr.. Wallace,
who possesses keen discerDment upon
politico-legal points, has not yet fully fixed
his position on the subject. Mr.. Cameron
is unquslidedly opposed it.. Mr.. Moron's
hope is in sufficient number of he Demo
cratic Senators voting against the bill TO
nullify the votes in the Republican ranks for
it. 1t is estimated that but fifteen Republt-
can and five or six Democratic Senators
will vote against the measures. The Sen.
ate and House Democrats will hold
joint caucus to night, at which the policy
of the Democrats on the bill will be def
nitely ascertained.
sETAToR ANTHONY IMPROVING.
Senator Anthony is improving steadily,
but is still quite weak, and after si' ting up
for an hour this morning was compelled to
lie down He will not go out to day, as
was expected, but it is thought that he will
be strong enough to do so to morrow or
next day should the weather permit.
ASSESSMENT OF CLERKs.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-The Democrats
are in high spirits over prospect of dis
covering the amount of campaign fund de
rived from the assessment of clerks in the
Executive Department. Fisher, who col
ected in some of the departments, took in
BIS, 900, upon which ne received percent
sge Of from 8 to 5per cent. It appears that
he whole amount will approximate $780,
100. The list of the names of clerks was
destroyed. Out Of 1900 visited by Fisher,
out about twelve declined to contribute.
