WARRINGTON, January 13.-Persons who
went TO the Senate chamber to-day expect
ing to hear some good speeches were DIS
appointed. Senators Butler and ingalls,
were TO have discussed the negro question.
Dir. Butler wanted two hours. and mas
much as that would have forced Mr.. In
gals to commence at 4 O'clock, the latter
sonciuded not to attempt 70 tax to-day.
Senator Butler also concluded not to speak,
but he will probably do so next Thursday.
The telegraph wires, owing to the storms
that are prevailing, are down in many d.
rections. and the South Carolnian is too
shrewd man to speak when bis remarks
cannot be reported fully.
prsGUsTEp.
Some Of the Republicans are highly. dis
gusted with McGinniss, OF West Virginia,
who is contestine the seat OF Dir. Anderson
in Congress. His lawyers have failed TO
comply with the regulations and his con-
test is in had shape. He has not fled the
proper briefs, and his case has been poorly
managed.
The Republican press Of the country has
studlonsly misrepresented the status OF all
the West Virginia cases and the facts con-
nected Herewith. a. will be seen and adj
mitted BY the majority in the House when
the testimony taken has been examined.
IL would seem that McGinnls's course is an
admission that he never had any case on
its merits. He challenged many votes in
various counties in the district, and get he
failed TO prove that any Illegal votes were
cast for Anderson, and only consumed ten
days OF the forty given TO him by statute
in which 70 take testimony. he never tled
notice Of contest as the statue requires. and
the copy in the record was furnished by
Anderson. He is not only in the attitude
of having no case, but of having been
guilty of the grossest negligence. McGln-
mis- has evidently been laboring under
the hallucinatiou throughout this whole
case that Republican majority
would turn q Democrat out simply be-
cause he was q Democrat. although he had
been fairly elected. Anderson was served
by McGinnis with great many notices to
take depOsitiOns having been notified to
appear az sixteen different places IN tho
district on the same day, but McGinnis
only turned up in person or by counsel at
five of the sixteen places. while Anderson
was subjected to great expense and lAcon-
venience in appearing by counsel at all OF
these points. IL is evident that Mc(iinns's
game il q bluff one and that there is no
merit in his case. The face of the returns
shows the election OF Anderson, and 1t APP
pears from proofs IN the case that Nc
Ginnis received 345 illegal votes in the dis
lTitI. IIlt DlO-b on luftll uIFAiE ht'A NN1N
by negroes in Mercer and Mcdowell coun-
ties. which border on the Virginia line.
GrOssest frauds were committed by the
Repu blicaus in the West Virginia election
and especially in Alderson's district.
Senator Barbour introduced IN the Sem
ate TO-DAY bill for the relief Of the heirs
of Mark Davis, Of Petersburg. DAVIS
claimed that personal property and rents
were taken from him by Union soldiers IN

of sickness in his family.
