New ORLEANS, December S.-The
Picayune's jackson, Miss special
says. In obedience to summons Score
tary Of State Myers left for Oxford
last night and will appear before the
Grand Jury of the United States
Court now in session there. 1t is
supposed the Grand Jury will investi-
gate the conduct of the Tate county
commissioners. Myers took the Tate
county returns with him. Iuforma
ton from Washington that Manning
will refuse the certificate, meets with
the approval ola large majority of the
Democrats here, who think that he
should make his contest independent

Manning Will not Accept the
Seat ON the Governors
Certificate.

WASHINGTON, Dec. Your cor
respondent has information of un-
questionable character that Col. Man
ming will not accept a seat in the forty.
eighth Congress by virtue of the
certificate he now holds. Whether
he will surrender the certificate or
not, is not definitely stated, but this
much is certain, that he is contemplat-
ing some course that will relieve the
authorities in Mississippi, and the
next Congress from all embarrassment
in the consideration ofhis case. Col.
Manning declines to be interviewed
on the subject, and is nou.committal
beyond saying that be will adopt such
a course as his conscience will approve
have reason for believing that he
will give up his prima iacia title to
the seat, permit Chalmers to be sworr
in, and then contest on the ground O.
fraud and bribery.

Special to the St. Louis Republican.
WASHINGTON, December 5.-The
Dakota lobby, headed by General
Ordway, are conspicuous at the cap
ital. They are working hard to have
early action on the bills to divide the
Territory and to admit the southern
part as a State. Their programme i:
to push their bills through the Senate
first and send them to the House,
where they can be more readily
reached on the Speakers table than
the bills on the House calendar. The
Republican managers will make a de
termined effort to carry through the
scheme. They know that the next
Congress will refuse the admission Of
the Territory as a State, and hence
the case is now desperate.
