Social SLoP.-We see il stated that
Mrs. Chrlstiancy, charges that her
husband, Judge Christiancy, sold his
seat In the Senate 10 the late Zach
Chandler for SUN Of money, and that
her knowledge of this transaction,
gained through her husbands son, DR..
Victor Christiancy, was the cause of
the cruel treatment she received at
the hands Of her venerable lord. She
tells a frightful story Of ill.treatment
on cher man." charging him with be.
ing a confirmed opium eater and o
slave TO liquid stimulants. If all this
be true, the young damscl "brought
her pigs 10 a very poor market" when
she bestowed hor affections and hand
on Judge Chrstiancy. But tho Judge
seems to hold out far bctter in this
transaction than "old Fac" did.

ters from the polls where they had
been arrested and were examined
there Two Of these men we're found
to be Republicans, and permitted TO
go tree, The third one was found TO
be Democrat, and sent down 10 Dav.
enport at the postoiiice, where he was
held to bail and his naturalization pa.
pers taken from him. In one case q
warrant had been executed, the party
arrested and brought before Daven.
port the Warrant was signed by Dav,
enport, and alleged information under
oath against the party arrested. His
counsel followed him and examined
into the question. The counsel was
sent by the District Attorney to an
upper room In the postoflice building,
where he found one Stephen Mosher,
who had large pile Of information
before him, which he was signing. He
asked for the oath against his client,
and was handed bundle of papers not
indorsed nor folded, containing about
fifty aflidavits relating to that Assem-.
bly, district. Not ore OF these had the
name of Davenport or any other Off
cial annexed TO it, On examina.
tion of them he found the information
against his client in the same condition,
and not sworn to, although his client
had been arrested three hours before
upon a warrant based npon this inior-
nation.
These facts serve 10 expose the in
iquitous uses to which the Republicans
applied the provisions of tho Federal
election laws IL ia estimated that
many thousands OF citizens who were
justly and lawfully entitled TO vote
were disiranchised in 1878 by the
Vaccinations of Davenport. Thecom-

THE LOUISIANA !SENA TOR.
SHIP.

The Committee on Privileges and
Elections, In the United States Senate,
on the 10th inst, reported It's action
in the kellogg.Spoflord case from Loui.
siana. II is as clear as the sun at
noon, that the notorious carpet tbagger,
Kellogg, has held seat in that body
ior over three years to which he has no
better title than Hayes has to the Pres.
idency. The same scounjrels who
seated the one seated the other, by
perjury and bribery, After some little
discussion Senator Hill offered two
resolutions, the first declaring that
William p Kellogg was not elected a
Senator, by reason of having been
chosen by IN illegal body, and having
gained even it's action through bribery
and corrupt practices second, that
Henry NJ Spoflord was entitled to the
seat now occupied by Kellogg, and has
been entitled to it since March 4, 1877.
These resolutions were adopted by u

bility, not be presented to the Senate
before the early part OF next week,
and will then be accompanied by the
majority report, which is very lengthy,
exhaustive and elaborate, and is describ.
ed by those who have seen it as a very
remarkably able documentand convinc.
ing in character lttraverses both the
law and the facts at great length, and
states that Kellogg is clearly proven
to have been guilty of bribery and cor.
ruption, both before and after the cleo.
tion, accuses him Of procuring wit,
nesses TO swear in his interest, and of
other and divers crimes. The first
high ground to be taken by the report
will be that Kellogg was not elected
by a Legislature legally constituted, a
quorum not being present. Then come
in the after facts, and the clearly
proven charges that he manipulated
the electors before and the returns af.
ter the election are adducod against
him, as well as the matter OF hiring
lying witnesses and bribing the mem.
bcrs of the pseudo Legislature. The
minority report will probably be made
up by Senator Angus Cameron, and
will favor the retention of Kellogg,
winding up with a bloody-shirt howl.
