THE LOUISIANA SENATORSH iP. 'im SalIN(ATE cOtMMITTEM ON w LUC FTIONW1 TO RllPORT IN RUEL LAiiO'0 PAVOR. WV the Veto Will Ntana--Penltien to SeOatOrs C.hrtlaney, Davis and Me.t thews on the Leouteana senatorial qulestion. lpeeial to the Demoomt.l WARritntToN, Nov. 7.-The Radical majority of the Senate Committee on Elections and Quail ae ations has determined to report in favor of 1eating Kellogg on the prima famte case, and w'tsld have so reported this morning, but for tile iabenoe of 1ien Hill and Hear, who heth de. *ire to be present when the vote Is taken in the eQOIlttee. The original game of delay has blosi spoiled by the development that (hris ,esioy. Matthews and Booth would vote with the Democrats to take the amo out. of the com mittee and bring it before the Senate, after a reasonable time should have elapsen for exam ination. This tact drove the Rladicals to the wall, and they have resolved to dle in the last ditch, with Kellogg's bloody shirt nalled to the flaetat, as it were. HMaing reached this determinat(on, they were anxious to force a vote in the tSnate be tore Morton's Democrat.il sueceasnr should ar rive, but Voorhees was appointed to-day and will be here Friday. and a vote can easily be staved otf until he is sworn in. The all-mn portant question is the adoption or rejection of the report of the c~mmit.tee. 'rThe Iaditsi enators assert. conildently, that. Matthews Will vote with them. I have never heard him epress his intention in no many words, but from the general tenor of his conversation when I have talked with him, I have inferred that be will not vote to seat Kellogg at all, although it it possible that he might also vote against the admission of SBofford, with a view to remand lng the whole case bank to the Leiuslature. I have talked more to the point, however, with Seater Chrlstlancy. I have heard him say that, while his examination of the case between the olaims of Spofford and Kellogg had not been sufliciently exhausted to enable him to ,do termine conclusively how he would vote on the main question, yet I Inferred that, so far as he had dnmlined the law and the facts, the result of his investigations had been favorahloe to Spofford. I alm satiflled that ChOrlttianey htns examined the case and will vote on It entirely from a judliial standpoint, and that. partisan oonslderations or appeals from his party asso elates will have no weight with him. I venture the prediction that he will In no event, vote to seat Kello r. With Voorhees in his seat the vote on the repDort of the committee will probably stand thirty.flve Republieans voting yea and thirty four Delnocrats voting no. with Davis morally oertin and Matthews and Ohristianoy most likely to vote no. Then if motion Is made to seat Spofford the vote will stand the same. ex Dept that Matthews may vote aalnst it for the reasons above mentioned. This would make the vote a tie-thirty-slx to thirty-six--and the casting vote of Viec President. Wheeler will un doubtedly be given against Spoiford. Thus the matter practically turns upon the attitude of Matthews. and it Is by no means Itmpossible that he may vote to seat Spofford. The Radicals are very anxious to force the thing through before any split occurs in their arty over the New York appotntnments. LATan.-Sine writing the above I have seon Senator Christiancy and Informed him that three of the tRepublican oenators had assured me that they could depend on him with cer tainty to vote to seat Kellogg on the primlnfarie case. He replied at once that no Senator .eor anybody else had authority to say anything of the kind, and he could not himself say definite ly how he shoukl vote. He said that when he voted to refer the case it was with the under standing that the committee were to take tes timony, and lay all the facts before the Senate; but if It was true, as reprted. that the committee intended to report IKellogg entitled to the seat on prima farie and without taking any tostimony beyond the naked statements of the two contbstants: he should not vote on the .ase at till until he had investigated the facts himself. This will oer tainly block the Radical game of rushing Kel logg through, because If any attempt is made to force a vote at once on the report of the commit tee Christiancy will object. and under the usages of the Senate an objection of a single Senator is sufficient to open the flood gates of debate. I think it perfoctly safe to assume that Kellogg will not be sworn in under the report of the committee, but as to whether Spofford will be seated by the same vote that rejects Kellogg I cannot undertake to say. BUELL. .pe:rt of the Architect of the Treasury. WAsunxoroT, Nov. 7.-The Supervising Arch itectot the Treasury has submitted his annual report to the Secretary of the Treasury, and a etailed history of the various public ildi, together wilh the various amounts Dpropr ate and the balances now on hand to .,Izry on work upon unfinished buildings.

New Orleans Custom-House-During the past year the second story of this building has been completed, excepting the courtrooms, offices of the district attorney and the front and rear vestibules. Considertlble work is yet required to properly fit up the central portion of the first story for storage purposes, and nothing has yet been done in the third story. The appropria tion for this work is entirely exhausted.

To protect her little child, sleeping in a cradle near the fire, she seized the lamp and carried it out, burning as she went. Mr. Wimbish, a neighbor, and a colored man at work in a potato patch near by, were attracted by the screams, and made all possible speed to the rescue. On arriving she was prostrate on the floor, nearly burned to death. They succeeded in extinguishing the flames, but the fire fiend had (lone its work.

Another Levee Bill. [8t. Louis Times.i WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.- Mr. H. Casey Young, of the Tenth Tennessee District, will to-morrow introduce in the House a bill com prehending the reclamation of the waste and overflowed lands of the Mississippi Valley. The bill provided for the issue of bands, guar anteed by the United States, to the amount of $45,000,000, and creates a levee district, em bracing the States adjacent to the Mississippi Siver, from Missouri to the mouth. A levee board is created of five members composed of three army offleers and two civilians, the salaries of the latter to be $3000 a year each. The board is required to make a survey of the river and report to Congress a plan for the reclamation of all overflowed lands and those now pro tected by levees, and the means of such re clamation by levees, cut-offs and outlets. The whole cost is not to exceed the amount of the authorized bonds-$45,000,000. The States in which the lands lie are to impose a airect tax on the lands to be benefited, the tax to be collected by the United States government and devoted to the payment of the interest on the bonds and the creation of a sinking fund for their final payment. The bill also provides for a tonnage tax on the commerce of the river to assist the payment of the ex pense of the work. Sitting Bull's Intentions. [Oinoinnati Enquirer.] It is certain that the bad blood caused by this year's work will erupt next season. In deed, Sitting Bull never tires talking of his intention to strike the Americans at the first opportunity. He says he knows the country lying between the Missouri and the frontier so well that he could keep Miles and Terry dancing there all summer. He was fairly considered a successful Indian leader 'efore the commission, but since his interview with the commissioners, which the Indians, with out exception, regard as the greatest of his triumphs, he has become a braggart.

Mr. Porle said that he hail voted to take the bill out of the morning hour be cause he did not believe in the prln ciples of gan law and because he believed that the truth hail nthing to fear in a dills cussion with error. Heldid not think that all the truth was on oil ter side of this quetilon. It. was a uestio tn whn hich the country nneded lI ht, and he thought the discussion here would give sime additlonal light on the subjeIt. He then procetiedd to the defensii of the no tlonal bank system, and said that a:1:a banks had succumbed on anount of the exenssive taxa tion, which was greater on banks t han on other species of property. -Mr. Kelly slrai that taxation had not driven a bank out of existence. The banks in Phila dolphia had paid semi-annual dlividends rang ing from I to it per cent. anti had a large sur plus. Besllds onthankha i rooently made an extra dividend of ltce per coet. He maintaind that such profit as this wais not. calculated tol drive capital out of employment. Mr. Prlcn sanh th Ise Were exceptional cases, and did not disprove the rule. Ho reiterated his statement that taxation had driven and was driving the national banks to surrender their clrculation. These banks had polt over 880,000, 000 in the, treasury. Mr. Kelly asked If it was not paid with gold given them by the government for putting In clrculation notes printed by the government and redeomable in worthlills,. lying greonbtaks. Mr. Plrile satid those notes were printed by governmnit, iutt. hut iIil for by the banks with fsio.0oo.iusi. Mr. lrine next. princodtd tbo reply to Mr. lPhtilips, denying that th ocurrency of France wis three t imes that of the United tlt.ates. The circulation of France was, ho said. $:12 l2 per capita, anit ,of the United htaote Os21 , per capitn. It was a fIa t which every gentleman would admit. that, oxoept Franc., the ircmlla tlon of the United States was greantor than any civilized nation.

Kelly and Mr. Price. In which the former re minded Mr. Price of the suffering and distress which had occurred through attempts to re sumo madelby the British government in 1822. Mr. Price responded that he was not on the floor of the British Parliament legislating for England, but in the Congress of the United States; not for a country which could be crossed in a day. but for one reawhing from the Atlantic to the Paciflc. from the icy regions of the North to the tropics; a country like no other, and one which no other country could be like. for there was no place to put it. [Loud clapping of hands and applause.] Mr. Kelly said that as large as the country was the American eagle spreads its wings over every acre and screamed deflance to all creation. [Renewed laughter.] Mr. Harrison said the mistake that was al ways being made in supposing that this c.u ntry. over which the, gentleman from Iowa had flown his earls. was unlike any other. He referred to the financial systems of France, England and Germany. Mr. Tucker offered a resolution for the pay ment of the Chap ain from October I to Novem ber 7, the date of his resignation, the resolution being necessary owing to the failure of Mr. Persell to take the oath of office. Adopted. Mr. Chandler, from the Committee on Appro priations, reported a bill making an appropri ation for the deficiency in the pay of the navy and of the Marine Corps, and for other expen ditures, and gave notice that he would call it up immediately alter the army bill was disposed of. Mr. Biker. of Indiana, introduced a bill to authorize the issue of a legal tender not re denmable in coin on demand. Referred. Mr. Page presented an address to the people of the United Sta es. from the Senate of Cali fornia. on the subject of Chinese immigration. Mr. Morey introduced a bill to amend the sun dry Civil Appropriation bill in relation to the payment of mail contractors in the Southern country prior to 1861. Referred to the Commit tee on Postoffices and Post roads. The House at 4:10 p. m. adjourned. Counterfeits. WASHINGTON, Nov. 7.-Mr. John 8.

The union lnsists that manufacturers must take all back. The manufactnrers refuse to aceede to this. slat upon following out the resolution of union not to employ union men under any cu mstances. If the employes wish to reunme work. It be as non-unionists, and they can only be hi.d singly. It is believed that many will become o desperate that they will defy the union a of4t to work this week. Now that the pol. Tld.i have withdrawn their support. It is very e.i dent that the fundsof the soriety will not be s filcent to even keep them from starvation m~ they remain idle much longer.
