STAR Routes ANA Lofterfes.

Representative Manning says of his resolu-

Information in regard to the present relations
of the Louisiana state lottery with the post
Office department, that he expects to show a
suspension of the order interdicting the
use Of mails In the interest of the
Louisiana lottery. He was intimately
connected with the passage of the star route
deficiency bill in the spring of 1880, and says
tina, it was corruptly obtained by General
Brady and great ring of contractors inter-
ceding in The deficiency appropriation.
Manning also says there is every reason to
believe the lobby employed by the lottery
company was strong enough to defeat meas
uic SO necessary to the star route ring, and

Coming Congressional Caucus

WASHINGTON. March 2e.-The senate
committee, consisting of Davis wv. Va),
chairman; Morgan, German. Coke, Harris,
Grover and one vacancy, Mcpherson having
declined, expect to confer with the house
committee in few days. The senate COM
mittee is in favor of leaving the management
of the congressional caucus to the house
committee, inasmuch as the election is for
members OF the house only. 1t has been sug-
sested that the senate committee shall, in
stead of the former part of the regular exeeu-
tive committee, confer and cooperate with
the house committee and assist them
wherever they could. 1t is now understood
that Representative Flower will really have
the management of the congressional com.
mittee. Gen Rosecrans, it is said, is to be sat-
istied with the honor of holding the position
Of chairman, and will go home and leave the
direction of the canvass to Flower.
