It will be observed that in this frst
ltwenty-three republic ans, twenty We
democrats and an independent vote for
the bill, and thirteen republicans and
eleven democrats vote against 1t. 1t will
also be observed that two Senators
Patterson and Sharon-are left out as
absent, and that the name Of Senator
Kellogg does not appear on either list.
If the vote should stand as recorded
tor Kellogg, his vote cast either way
would decide the question:; and people
who have besn studying the "chances"
Of the bill are now busily asking how
Mr.. Kellogg is likely to vote. So far no
one appears to have got q satisfactory
answer to this rather important question
Mr. Kellogg has not yet committed him-
self. IS
The Latest Returns from the
Returning BOard-The Presi-
dent Opposed to the Louisiana
Prosecutions. .-.
WASHINGTON, February 11.-The
President to-day was entirely unreserv-
Cd In expressing his disapproyal Of the re-
turning board prosecutions in New
Orleans, or is so represented by gen.
tleman who talked with him on the
subject. This gentleman says the Presi-
dent stated that the prosecution was q
violation of the pledges made last
spring, and that he woald In a very
short time make known publicly his
opinion to that effect also that he had
now determined to use all the influence
of which he is possessed to save Wells
and Anderson from punishment.
Secretary Sherman also seemed to
think that it is time for him To speak
his mind, and his temper appears to
have gotten the better of his discretion,
The threats of Mr.. Sherman and his
violent language are not likely to have
any effect so far as stay of the proceed
lngs against the returning board is con-
cerned, and some of the best friends of
the President do not receive with ap>
pr0val the statement that his voice Is tn
be lifted up Ia behalf Of wells and Andes
son Any action which the President may
take in the direction of relieving them
now that the matter has progressed sc
far, will certainly have the one effect,
il no other, to confirm the belief thai
he regards his own personal interests al
lin jeopardy. Senator Kellogg was al
the White House to-day and had an in
terview on this subject with the Presi
dent.
A statement is made in one Of the
evening papers to-day that Mr.. Kellogg
denied the story about the $4,000
which he borrowed after the presi-
Dental election to help make Hayes
President. This so-called denial need
not be deemed worthy of notice, as 1t
does not come from his own signature.
There are witnesses for what was said
on the subject in this correspondence.
The cool audacity Of the dispatch sent
to Anderson by Messrs. Sherman, STAN
ley Matthews, Gen. Garfield and theiI
associates, who were in New Orleans in
, November, 1876, is somewhat remark
able even from the source from which ii
has emanated. The American people,
to whose sense of justice they commend
Anderson, are perfectly well aware OF
the merits of the case, and are also ac-
quainted, to some extent, by this time,
of the part played In the transaction by
Mr.. Sherman & Co.
Two More Votes for the Demo-
Gratis.
WASHINGTON, February 1O.-lt Is
more than probable that the admission
of Patterson, of Colorado, and Wiggin-
ton, of California, will shortly be follow
ed by the admission of the claimants for
! the seats now held by Rainey and Smalls
of South Carolina. j. S. Richardson
contests the seat of Rainey, and Judge
lTillman, of Edgefield, the seat of Smalls.
The latter has not yet presented his case
in proper form to the committee of elec'
tsons, but will do so in few days; Mr.
Richardson, however, has not only pre-
ssnted his argument, but has had the
lmost favorable results, and within short
ltime the subcommittee in this case, cons
lsistinp of Messrs. Ellis, of Louisiana;
Cobb, of Indiana, and Hiscock, of New
York, will report in favor of seating him.
