THE FIGHr FOR Buffers sSEAT-washington
January 23.-Thc Radicals are making hercu-
lean efforts to induce Senators Patterson and
Csnever to agree to vote for unseating Gen. But
Ter and seating Corbin. Senator Hill has com.
pleted the minority report in this case, and will
submit it at the next meeting Of the committee
II declares that Buffers case is res adjudicata,
and that Corbin's case turns upon whether there
was quorum in the Chamberlain Legislature,
and as there was no quorum, according to their
own showing, there was therefore no election.

SIR The friends of Commissioner Phelps

Mr. Phelps is the president Of the board and
had he chosen TO oppose this outrage 1t would

So long as The NATIONAL REPUBLICAN
Printing and Publishing Company has
more than $4,000 worth of useful and per-
feet machinery, presses, type, and fixtures
all paid for, to say nothing of its business
good will-with no deed of trust or other
incumbrance decorating its properties-and
so long as it pays as it goes, and enjoys q
business patronage that takes care of it,
and is constantly increasing in the midst of
dull season of hard times, we fancy it is
quite rs well off as the average publishing
houses in the country. If this company
could not purchase n ream of paper,
except upon terms-C. 0. Dor if it had a
power press travelling back and forth be-
tween New York and Washington at the
expense of the manufacturer, for the rea-
son that it is not able TO honor its obliga-
tions therefor; or if this company had
promised the readers of The REPUBLICAN
a new dress Of type, and the same had been
manufactured to order, and was withheld
by the manufacturers for the want of the
money or confidence that it would come il
the type were parted with, and the readers
of The REPUBLICAN had been disap-
pointed in the use of old type for months
we say if these were incidents in the
history of THE REPUBLICAN under its pres
ent management, the Trdmp's ODa might
perhaps, with some propriety, sneer at its
poverty. Until such incidents occur, OF
until our establishment is decorated with q
deed of trust for $4,000, our meddlesomG

our business affairs with little more

1T appears that JEFF DAVIS knew of
and expected to receive the beguest recently
devised to him by Mrs. SARAH A. DORSEY
for some time before she died. In fact, the
will is to be contested ON the ground that
JEFF excrted "an undue influence over the
ancient SALLIE. OF course no one will
speak i'll of the dead but of JEFF, WHO,
perhaps ought to be dead, it will do no
harm to remark that his reputation for gal
lantry seems TO increase with advancing
years. There was that affair in the sleep
ing car near Memphis several years ago,
which had almost been forgotten; but re-
collections of which will certainly be re-
viyed now just to give spice TO the con-
test. A sublime spectacle this trial will
present, with "Our President on the de-
