vate citizens.
A CHARGE OF BLAcKMAILINd.
The Capital openly charges Senators
Spencer and Dawes with attempting TO
levy blackmail upon Chorpenning, and say
that failing in this they defeated his claim.
THE FRENCH AND SPANISH MISSIONS.
The Worlds special says Washburne is to
retain the French mission, with the presi-
dents son, Webb Hayes, as second secre-
tary of legation. Cushing desires to return
from Spain. Sickles will probably sue
coed him.
wARMoTB's PLAN.
The Tri5un0S Washington special says
Warmoth has submitted written plan, pro-
vlding that the Louisiana legislature DO
empowered to ill the contested seats. This
would leave the senate democratic, the
house republican, and the int convention
republican, but opposed to Packard. War
moth is looking for the United States sen-
atorship.
HAMPToN's FIGHT WITH CHAMBERLAIN.
The HeraId's Washington special says
Hampton will proceed against Chamber
lain under the statute enacted by the re-
publica us in 1868. 1t provides for the sum-
mary eviction of any person intruding
himself into public office by warrant is
sued by the circuit judge.
HOW wALDRoN WAS DEFEATED.
The Tribune says the nomination of
Waldron, democrat, for marshal in Ten
nessee was defeated in the senate by com
bination of carpet baggers and Bourbons.
The appointment was made after full con.
sulla ion with Postmaster General Key and
prominent Memphis citizens. The point
of the opposition is to drive Key from the
cabinet.
CAPTURING THE SOUTHERN ooNGREssMEN.
The Suns Washington special insists
that the administration is to control the
speakership of the new house, and gives
the names of southern congressman who
seem to favor the plan. The pressure has
neither let mol limit. The hope of a sub.
sidy, levte grants and harbor improve
m nts, the promise and distribution of
offices, have broken democratic principle
at the south as the ice breaks in the spring
THE PROPOSED COMPROMISE.
The Tsibune's special says ii is generally
believed Vice-President Wheeler, Con-
gresham Foster and Stanley Mathews will
shortly 60 10 New Odeans and endeavor to
effect compromise, based upon the re-
organization of the legislature aid the can
vsss by it of the vote for governor. The
republicans insist that the withdrawal of
the troops without such adjustment, would
be an abandonment of tie republicans OF
the south.
| AN ADMINISTRATION SPEAKER CERTAIN.
The Times Washington special SAYS i,
10 e'--.--A. -.ontly upon good autbori-
ty, that before the opening OF the extra
session the old party lines will be 80
broken that at least 20 democr ats will vote
for any candidate suggested by Hayes,
and that the election of an administration
| speaker is certain. The leaders of the fill
clustering element claim that they will con-
troll the organization, aud that large num-
Der of southern republicans, led by prom
inent gentleman from New England, will
act with them. There seems 10 be good
| foundation for the Statement.
| THE POST MASTER GENERAL AND HIS AP-
PoINTMkNTs.
The Worlds special says single objec-
ZION defeated several of the postmaster
generals important nominations, among
them that of Potts, democrat, for post
master at Petersburg, and of Hughes for
attorney in Tennessee. The nomination
| OF Vaughn, democrat, as postmaster at
Memphis, was retained at the White House
| at the last moment, through the interposi.
ton OF Tennessee republicans. His APP
pointment is improbable. The nomination
of Stone, republican, for attorney of South
Carolina, was lost through democratic OBJ
jections.
THE DOUGLASS CONFIRMATION - SENATOR
WHITE ON SLAVERY.
The Tribune special says Senator Whyte
of Maryland, while opposing Douglass
confirmation Saturday, is reported to have
said that, although he was a native of
Maryland and q member of the strictest
sect of the democracy, it was his proud
boast that he had never been STAKEHOLDER,
and neither he nor any member CT his fam
lily had at any time encouraged the odious
institution of slavery. Douglass conHr-
nation is looked upon as a triumph not
only of the administration, but also of the
moderate southern men. 1t gives the presi-
dent assurance of adequate support in the
| senate, no matter what dissenBions may oc-
cur in the republican party.
The debate on INSTRUMENTATION of Fred.
erick Douglass in the executive session of
Saturday afternoon marked a new era in
American politics. The color line has
begun to break. Hayes policy of recon-
Citation and Of good fellowship between
the north and south was supported in the
senate by all the democratic senators ex-
cept twelve. Frederick Douglass was COD
frmed as marshal of the District of Co.
lumbia by vote OF 80 yeas to 10 nays.
The country will lose much by the irjuuc-
ton of secrecy placed upon executive pro-
ceedings. The debate Is said to have ex-
nioited some OF the loftiest. broadest. nobl-
est patriotism that has bsen witnessed 10
he proceedings of congress for many a
