WASHINGTON. Marcn ll.-Scnator
Morton will make an effort to have the
case Of Kellogg, claiming seat as sena-
tor from Louisiana, acted on at this ses-
sion of the senate, and an impression pre-
walls that favorable report on his case
win be made by majority Of the COM
mittee on privileges and elections on
Tuesday next. 1t is not certain, however,
that the senate will agree to act on the
case now as number of Republican sem
ators prefer TO let matters rest for the
present, rather than take any action
upon the vexed Louisiana gu stion-
which might be embarrassing 10 the adj
ministration, when by permitting
the Kellogg case to go over
until the next session. il can
be determined with much less
discussion than if any attempt were
made TO do so now, and besides the mat
ter may be virtually settled by the exec
ative department of the government be-
fore that time. IL is said the Democrats
viii vote tor postponing the case Of kel-
.og. until next session. In view of all
the circumstances it is believed that the
Kellogg case will not be disposed of be-
fore next winter. The same may be
said of the South Carolina contest.
Should these cases 60 over the special
session Of the senate will probably close
before the end Of the present week, as
executive business can be disposed Of In
a few days. yrf rr
The president and cabinet are in daily
receipt of letters and kilograms from

ties in approval of the rational course in
