WASHINGTON, May Ex-senator Brown,
Of Georgia, was sworn in to-day, and after
wards taken by the hand by senators gene

MY msrshals, and he voted No." He sat
by his colleague, Senator Hill, and will do
40 permanently. There was again great re-
gret expressed that so true, gallant, and
faithful a representative OF the South as
General Gordon has retired to private life,
and Senator Bayard and others showed a
GOOD deal Of feeling while alIuding to his

GENERAL LoNGsTREET AND THE TURKISH
MISSION.
The Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs
yesterday considered the case OF General
LOngstreet, nominated for the Turkish mis-
sion. but did not reach a conclusion. / had
taken il Tor granted that he would be con-
6rmed without opposition, but l find
tba, there are senators who will not vote for
his confirmation. Their opposition is not
based on the fact that, after being one OF
Lees most trusted lieutenants, he took sides
with the negroes and carpet baggers OF
Louisiana against the real people OF that
State. but it grows out of the fact, they say.
that be was not only a member of the
notorious Louisiana Returning Board, but
A. the commandant OF the negro police
ordered them to fire en- bis own people.
THE KELLOGG CASE AND REPUBLICAN sENA-
TORS.
After frequent conversations with Demo-
cratic senator's had come to the conclusion
that the Kellogg case had gone to join the
Fitz-John- Porter case, and so stated in my
dispatches. This morning, however, Re-
publican senator who was about to leave
Washington wanted to pair with Democrat
on the Kellogg case. This was construed to
indicate that his party anticipate action on
it before adjournment. Senator Pendleton,
it viii be remembered, argued that this case
is not res dJudicata, and yet he was against
unseating Mr.. Kellogg. In commenting on
the position Of the distinguished Senator
from Ohio leading Republican congress
Kan to-day remarked that il he did not re-
gard il AS res odjudicdta he did not see how
be could vote against the committees re-
port.
THE MORRISON B0OM-IT INCREASES.
The news from the Missouri Democratic
State Convention which met to-day indi-
Gates that Mr.. Morrison, OF Illinois, has a
powerful following in that State; and it
has been conceded for some time that his
own State is for him. Last night meet
Ing Of gentlemen from different States was
held at Wizards and insugurated a ma
tlonsl Morrison boom. Among those who
spoke was General Chalmers, OF Missis'
sippi. A number OF Democratic repre-
sentatives to-day, in commenting on this
Morrison movement, spoke not only most
iayorably in regard to 1t, but In affectionate
terms OF their brave Illinois colleague.
General Hunton says no man ever carried
more honesty into the White House than
William Morrison would IL elected to the
presidency. He is very candid man, but
his manners under proyocation are not at
all times those Of Chesterfield.
BAYARD, SEYMOUR, AND OTHERS.
Although it was expected that Delaware
would instruct for Mr.. Baysrd, neverthe-
less that II has done SO Increases the presi.
Dental standing Of its distinguished sena-
tor with his fellow-congressmen. The fact
i. that nothing is more important than that
presidential candidates should be backed by
their own States. Ia spite Of the fact that
Mr.. Seymour continues to say he doesn't
want to be nominated, the people continue
TO say they want him. The news from Kan
sas is that members OF its Democratic Con-
yention prefer Seymour to anybody else.
The Jewelt boom has not opened. His
friends say it will be lively when it COM
mences.

The REPUBLICAN SITUATION BLAINE TO CON.
fAND IN PERSON AT CHICAGO.
The rumor Is repeated to-day that Senator
Blaine will go TO Chicago and direct his
light In person. This looks like hand-and-
hand encounter, and is warning to the
Grant managers that II they win it will be
after the hardest battle ever fought In the
history OF American politics at q
national convention. Blaine's friends
mere are anything but downhearted, and
