they anticipate this year more exclt-

generally understood that Gen. BurLER
will run again. His friends proclaim
that he will get the Greenback nomina-

nomination, that he viii receive the
united support OF the two parties and
will bee elected. The Republicans, to
the contrary, assert that they can beat
him by a larger majority than before.

THE NEW YORK NOMINATIONS.

WASHINGTON, January 31.-The senate
went into executive session at o'clock,
and devoted three hours to the considera-
ton OF Secretary Sherman communication
relating to the New York nominations. His
statement was very lengthy, and covered all
the points involved in the controversy. AZ
ter u heated discussion it was agreed to
postpone further consideration till to-mor-
row. Among those on the Republican side
who may be counted on for the Admins
tration are Senator Dawes, Matthews, Hoar
and Burnside, while Window, Plumb and
Ferry are considered doubtful.
NOT 4 SURE THING.
Private adviccs show that Chandler has
not got a sure thing on seat in the senate,
as the friends of Baglcy have organized a
formidable opposition, and unless some
concessions are made by the Bagley men it
may result in the election of Representa-
Conger, who is the dark horse.
INDIGNANT REPRESENTATIVES.
The Southern Representatives in the
house are justly indignant at the failure of
this congress to support the motions look
ing to the improvement Of the Mississippi
river and the building of the Mississippi
levees, and have finally agreed to combine
and defeat any scheme for the improve
ment of any othert section of the country
unless they can secure some sort of rccog-
milton of their efforts to improve the great
national highway. Some Of them 90 so

SENATE.


SPRINGFIELD, Jan, 31.-There being no
petitions and reports Of standing commit
ties on call, the following new bills were
introduced and ordered to final reading:
BY Mr.. Jones-Bll for an act to repeal
the law in regard to crucltics to animals.
BY Mr.. De Lancy-l'il to simplify plead
ings and practice in courts Of record.
BY Mr.. Foskck--Bill to appropriate
$4,000 per annum to the Reform School at

for additional buildings, etc, for the blind
asylum at lacksonville, also, bill TO make
an appropriation for the ordinary expenses
of the same institution for the next two
years.
BY Mr.. Boniicld--Bll to "a end the law
permitting offsets against claims in suits
and permit the .jnry to settle accounts and
render judgment for plaintiff or defendant
for the amount due ,ithcr.

age the cultivation of fish.

great deal of campaign literature will be
got ready for 1880.
The most striking event OF the week has
been the eloquent speech OF Senator Hill,
of Georgia, in which he declared against
thepayment Of any so-callcd war claims
whether to what were known as loyal or
''disloyal" Southern men. He contendod
not only that it was impossible for the gov
eminent to pay them, but that it was better
for the South that they should not be paid
There Is already a quarrel as TO the rails
ing of the $4,000, 900 necessary for the pay
ment Of what is known as the arrears OF pen
sions under the bill lately passed and mp
proved. The regular pension appropriation
bill for the year gives some S30,000,00O,
but that money can not be used
for payments under the arrears
bill. 1t is said there will be strong Radical
opposition to the appropriation, Radicals,
in voting the bill through, were working
for popularity among the ex-sodicrs but
when they came face to face with the $50,
100000 they seem to doubt whether that
much can be spared from the bondhoders
Much of interest has been developed in
the Last few days in the investigation of
cipher and other kilograms. 1t is shown
that VIM. f. Chandler, furnished the tcle-
grams published in the New York Tribune
and also those Generc Butler had. Ase II
ate committee clerk stole them from the com
mittee room and gave them 70 Radical con-
gresham, the congressman gave them To
high official who tuyned them over to Chan
dlcr. The thieviug clerk, in accordance
with civil service reform as understood by
Mr. Hayes, was given an important Office
abroad.
1t was shown that Pcstmaster-G General
Tyner, then in Indiana, telegraphed to Zack
Chandler, the Secretary Of the Interior,
that $4,000 would be given for the Indian
agencies, and that Chandler agreed to make
the appointments. The money was used in
the Indiana campaign. This was in 1876
1t was also shown that the management ot
the Western Union Telegraph Company had
delivered up to various radical politicians
the original Of important and presumably
compromising dispatches sent by them
pending the Florida and Louisiana electoral
bargains.
1t is now authoratively stated that Sena-
ator Christiancy, Of Michigan, will be made
Minister to Peru. He will be succeeded il
the Senate by lack Chandler. Then thu
new Republican Senators will be Conkling
Platt, Cameron, Logan, Carpenter, Hill, OF
Nevada, Chandler, and probably Pomcroy
Of Kansas all Grant men.

The joint resolution in regard to ccding
the Illinois and Michigan Canal, with an
amendment directing an inquiry as to
whether acesson of said canal to the gen
eral government is desired, and to report at
an early day, was returned by the house to
to the senate.
The senate concurrcd and the resolution as
amended was adopted.
The following additional bills were then,
by consent of the senate, introduced:
BY Mr. Rdell-Bill to provide for the
lcgalization and adoption of children which
have been raised and acknowledged as
adopted.
BY Mr.. lIerdmar-Bill for an act TO in
demnify the owners of sheep in cases of

vides the machinery for raising a fund by
means of licAnses to be collected from the
owners of dogs to be used in paying losses
sustained by the owners Of sheep from raw
ages by dogs, after proof of such loss has
been made.

second time and ordered engrossed for {

Special Correspondence of the Cairo Bulletin
WASHINGTON, January 20, 1879.
The house yesterday added something
like million dollars to the post Office APP
gropraton bill, by agreeing to amend
mcnts of the radical senate. The house has
so far in the session submitted to the domi-
nation of the senate on all matter Of the
kind, and the expenses Of the government
wilt therefore be for the next year greatly
in excess of what they should be and even
Of what the house appropriation committee
reported The direct result Of this loose
way of doing business, unless checked, will
be that the coming Democratic congress
the 46th--will find itself forced to restore
the taxes on tea coffee and other articles
establish an income tax, and in other ways
make the people and the party suffer
There ought to be Democrats enough to re-
sisl the tendency to extravaganza.
