Bargain.
WASHINGTON, Feb. l5.-HoUsE
Gibson, rising to question OF
privilege, said he repudiated the
intimation or suspicion that any
Representatives of Louisiana have
been engaged in any bargain in re-
ga d to the Presidency which re.
flected on the honor of that State.
He had differed from his colleagues
in supporting the electoral bill and
he had advocated strongly the pol
icy of adheriDg to the bill framed
by the committee appointed for that
purpose. He had felt that the bill
was, in great measure, in the
interest of the peace, honor and
welfare of the country. He
had been gratified to see that the
action of Southern men on that
question, standing up for the Union,
had excited in the breasts of the
Northern people u sentiment of
confidence in the constituencies
and States of the South senti-
ment which had been q stranger to
that people for more than quarter
Of century. He had felt that it
was held by the people
whom he represented, that q
State had no part in the
Union separate from the inter-
ests of the whole country, and he
had felt that whatever redounded
to the interests of the whole coun-
try would secure the hap
piness and prosperity of Louisiana.
He had seen at that time the
President declaring in unequivocal
terms, that the time had come
when he had made up his mind to
uphold no longer military gov
eminent over the people of Louis
lana. That had been given as an
order to the military commander in
New Orleans. He had felt assured
that no bargain was necessary,
that no private understanding was
necessary to secure the people of
the South in their rights. He had
felt cratlfied when he read the in
augural address of President
Hayes, and when he had seen
that gentleman call to his CHIEF
Cabinet position gentleman

CAPTAIN ADAMS brings very cheer,

the prospects of the early passage OF
the Texas and Pacific bill. Opposition
is weakening, and the friends of the
bill are growing stronger day by day,
There is little or no doubts but the bill
will pass the senate by very consider.
able majority. Southern influences are
crystalizing in favor of the measure.
and decided action by the senate will
60 Tar towards building up its strength
in the house. Stanley Mathews warm
support is an earnest of executive favor.
80 should the bill finally pass, no stern
veto is to be feared. Indeed taken

much hangs, wears very pleasant as,

and that will, of itself, constitute an
all-sufficient reward for years of toll

THE Next SENATE.

The New York Times, the leading
Republican paper of the Union, has
arrived at the conclusion that the next
Senate will be Democratic by majority
of not less than Ave nor more than
sasenteen. The terms of six Senators
from doubtful States. whose successors
are yet to be elected, will expire on the
4th OF. March next. These are Voor-
hees of Indiana. Barnum of Connect
cut, Conkhng of New York, Cameron
Of Pennsylvania. Oglesby of Illinois,
and Howe of Wisconsin. Indiana,
Connecticut and New York voted for
Tilden, and it is probable that at least
two of them--Connecticut and Indiana
will re elect Democratic Senators.
The other States mentioned are now
represented by Republican Senators,
whose chances of reelection or of being
succeeded BIZ Republicans are extreme
by doubtful; but even if all the doubtful
states should elect Republican Sena-
tors. the Democratic majority will be at
least Ave.. the Times places Nevada

final estimate gives the Democrats A.
