TIVE REV ELECTION PLAN.

The plan for a new election in South
Carolina and Louisiana, proposed by Ser
ator Patterson Of Soath Carolina to the
president, and said to DO endorsed by
some northern republican senators, is ep-
proved by southern republicans, but earn
estly opposed By the southern democratic
representatives here. One of the agents
OF the Nichols government says fatty that
his people will not submit to it that
there had been one election at which O
president had been elected ard that an cleo
ton good enough for that ought TO settle
the legality of the election of state officers.
The i~esolute opposition of the Nichols
people here to the plan seems to indicate
mischief if an attempt be made to force
a new election.
MORTON TAKES THE FOREIGN AFFAIRS COM.
MITTER.
Senator Morton has decided to accept the
chairmanship of the foreign affairs COM
mittee in place of Senator Cameron. This
seems to indicate that Morton is of the
opinion that the southern policy will no
longer be of such distinguished importance
as it has been, and that the foreign affairs
committee will be more promising.
OPPOSED TO AN EXTRA SESSION.
President Hayes is very much adverse to
an extra session if it possibly can be avoid
ed. One plan suggested is that capitalists
pledge So. 600, 900 or $4,000, 900 for the
pay of the army between July l and De-
cember /, and accept the Pay rolls as
pledges of payment. Several democratic
congressman have notified the president
that they are opposed to an extra session.
THE CAMKRoNs.
Ex-senator Simon Cameron called on
he did not believe in his southern policy
he and his son Don will support the ad-
ministration.
LOUISIANA CAsE POSTPONED.
1t now seems to be agreed by common
| consent that the entire Louisiana question
| shall go over without discussion, to the
next session of congress.
EXTRA SESSION DOUBTFUL.
1t is not yet positively decided whether
or not an extra session will be necessary 10
provide for all the wants Of the army
during heI..ensuing fiscal year, but the
president stated to-day he has no present
intention of convening one for an earlier
date than about the last of May or first OF
| June.
