In a renewal resume regarding tho Congressional contests, the Appeals Washington correspondence ef the 22i inst. says: MT. Gates case can not be taken under consideration for at least two weeks, and hy that time the chances are ten to one against any member of the committee remembering a word of thc argument on either side, which occurred Saturday of last week.
 This method of procedure may have been adopted purposely, but 1t is cer- tainly not satisfactory to the demo- crsts. MT. Cate appeared for himself on Saturday, and made strong argu- ment. On the other side the spectacle was presented of blocks -of-Iive" Dud- ley arguing for the purity of the ballot box. This was SD hidicrous that even members of the committee were oh- served to smile when he rose to speak. Mir. Cate has discovered that the bal lot box which was filed as evidence in lis case by Mir, Featherston has a pe- culiar history. The box itself iA of japanued tin. In the top Is a slot over which an arrangement can be fitted by means of W hieh ballots inserted in the slot may be diverved in their down ward course and caused to fall outside the box. This box was claimed to have been used in Mir. Gates district during the election, and is produced as sample of the fraudulent manner by which the democrats of Arkansas carry the elections. Mir Cate. how ever, has discovered that this denti- cal box which Featherston claims was doing duty in Arkansas was, prior to the election. and on the day of the cleo ton, reposing quietly in this city in the rooms of the republican national com mittee. He will of course. make us. of this information at the proper time. It behooves the democrats to keep a close watch upon the republicans
 They have iunnmerable schemes, and d never failing supply of ehicanery If they don't convince the democrats 1 that black is white 1t won't be the fault of tue party that divides voters into blocks of i've with trusly manager and plenty ef poodle.
