was appointed to re|>ort at a future meeting as
to what measures shall have precedence, the
object being to act upon those of the greatest
public necessity In order to avoid if ]>ossible an
extra session ot Congress. ProminentSeuators
generally arc against an extra session, and Some
go so tar as to declare that the President should
not call an extra lesion even it many bills are
neglected, as the fault would then lay with
Congress and they would be responsible before
th>' country. There is no doubt that all import
ant business will be transacted and an extra
session avoided, the leading members iu each
House lieing much opposed to convening the
new Congress immediately upon the close of
this one. There is leasonaible time yet to act
u I on all bills of importance, and as night ses
sions will soon be commenced, business will be
dispeeed of more rapidly than heretofore.
Conflicting Stories About the Situa
tion in New Orleans?A telegram from New
Orleans this morning says that information from
some of the worst parishes in the stale is to the
etlcot that officers commissioned by the Kellogg
government have taken jsi.vjession of their of
fices, and are discharging their duties without
the least opposition, .judge Cullum, i'usionist,
decided on Fridav that he wax bound, as were
all the courts, to recognize the Kellogg govern
ment as the only legal government in the state.
This decision was rendered iu a test case brought
up for the purpose.
On the other hand, a private dispatch from
New Orleans to a government official, received
here on Saturday night, san the police rei>ortcd

the armory and the |*olice stations by the fusion
party. Immediately on the discovery of the
plot a strong force ot' jiolice were placed inside
the institute, and alI]'ro|>er measure* taken to
defeat the scheme. Not much credit is given to
the story. The latest advices from New Orleans

Senator Pomerov re-appearcd in his seat
in the Senate to-day, a few minutes after that
hotly had been called to order. As he passed
down the aisle, he extended his hand to General
Logan, who was sitting by Senator Feutou at
the time, and after shaking hands with both
these gentlemen, took his old seat next to Sena
tor Patterson. Subsequently he arose, and iu a
brief speech relative to the late Senatorial elec

allegations made against him. He closed bv call*
ing tor a special committee, to be composed of a
majority of democratic Senators, to Investigate
the charges made againstliim and report during
the present session. The Senate voted the com

he would designate the me rubers during the dav.

THE ELECTORAL VUtB.
The Senate committee on privileges ami elec
tiou? to-day presented their preliminary repoi
in regard to the electoral vote of Loatr.cn;
The committee recite the circumstances of th
election in Louisiana, as brought out by the ir
vestigation, and in conclusion vay that Goi
Warmoth had the whole machinery of electio
ui his hands, and that every mc atu w as resort*

ifficultie* were Thrown in the way W' regixtrn

Teat inconvenience to hnd the registrar, am
ui many instances were unable to do no; place
ot registering and of veting in many parish*
were Used at points remote from the centers o
population, often without notice of the plac>
being given; false registration uppers, doubl
voting, stuffing ballot-boxes, and other fraud
a; il Irregularities, were charged in a majorit
Of the parishes, and there is not much room t
doubt that the Lynch retumina-l>oard were o
the opinion that, upon a fair election, the re
litbliian party wouidlia\e carried tlie state, am
tad I" ? 11 cheated and hindenil in every wa;
possible by the power that controlb-d the ma
chincry of' the election. But. notwith>'tandini
all this, the Lynch returning-board. with tb
sort of cadence v? hich w as botore them, had i?
tower under the Ihw of the slate t
investigate these charges of fraud an<
injury, or to act upon their oouvic
ticirns" of wrongs that had been suffered
Tlie election of the Greeley electors was ceTti
Hi d to by the governor of the state, but tin
official n't urns of the electlou have not beei
counted by the rctui ning-board created by tli<
laws of Louisiana tor that ptu|Hise; ami th<
pcrxoiu who. in fact, made the examination ant
count, bad no legal authority to do so. Tbt
lection of the Grant elector* is certified by th?
Lynch returning board, but that board dsl noi
have the offiriaTreturns before them, and tbcil
lection is not certified by the governor of tlx
state an required bv the act of t'ongress. Th?
committee are ot the opinion that neither th*

Jointly, have the ]iower under the conctitutior
to canvass the returns of an election aud o<>uui

cate of the governor of the slate, to iiiotiirt
whether the vote* for electors have ever oeeii

the law of the state, or whether ia making sucfi
count, the boaul bad before them the offi.-la!
return*, the committee offer no suggestion*. but
present only a statement of the tacts asthej
understand them. As to the other question*
upon which the committee are instructed to re
port, touching the existence of a legal state fnv
eminent in Louisiana, and the admission of *
Senator trom that state, they are not bow pre
pared to reiKirt
In an addendum to the rcj>ort by Mr. Morton
chairman of the committee, he "refers to tin.
fact that a majority of the committee were ol
opinion that no reference should be made in the
rei?>rt to the deehbm of the supreme court ol
Louisiana as to whirhw.is the legal returning
board, and states the fat t that on the dar ol
.lanttaiy last the supreme court ot the state de
c:?U-d. on an appeal fiom the'Sih district court
tliat the board consisting of Lynch, Long?trcet
and Hawkins, togther with Governor W.timotl

who had been suspended bv Governor Wai moth
?lien he |y st jtp|*ointetl Herron, ami who hatl
been resfflted by a decision of the supreju'
court, constituted the legal retnrning hoard
and that Da Polite, Wharton aud Hatch had m
authority whatever.
Mr. Tiiiuibull also submits an addendum to
the rei>ort. in which he says in substance that
he believes the Wharton board was the lightful
one, and dissents from the following passage in
the rejK?rt of the committee :
' ? T he e vitleucoanbmitted to t he [Lynch ] board.
and which ha* been described to the committee,
undoubtedly produced the ouuvictiou lu theii
mintls that the election liatl been an organized
fraud." "There is not much room to doubt thai
the Lvncli returning-board were of ttio opinion
that, 'ujioii a lair election, the republican part\
would have carried the state. and had been
cheated and hindered in every way |>o-sible bt
the power that controlled the'machinery of the
election." Mr. Trumbull further says: Tb*
fact that the I ynch board undertook to couut in
the repnblican'candidates as elccted without tin
semblance of an official return before them, ami
in some instances upon spurious, forged, and
false affidavits, as the evidence before the com
mittee shows, affords no evidence to mv mind
that they supimscd a fair eiection had not beei
held.

THK ALABAMA CLAIMS BILL,
w:is taken np.
Mr. Freliughuysenargued airainst pav.ng any
(?irtioti ot the fund to the Insurance compame-.
He held that they hail received their a<tvaii *e
war lates, that it'was theii busiueas to Lake auc4i
risks, and they charged accordingly. Besides,
as all know, the stock of insurance eoinpaine*.
as ot other corporations, in constantly changing
hands, and a-a general thing the partlew who
t?iid the losses would not be the parties who
would now receive thw allowance. The ship
on ner has no legal claim. I?ecau*e hi* low was
occasioned by an act of war of a public enemy.
The man who had a just claim wa* the mer
chant, whose goods were destroyed, aud who
liad no insurance. Every intelligent citizen
knew that the infury done ti* by Ureat Britain
was a national injury, and it was perfectly ah
-unl to make any argument on a point so plain.
HOl'SE OF REPRESENTATIVES?The
S|>eaker proceeded with the regular Monday
morning call of states and territories for bills
and resolutions for reference only, and the fol
lowing were, among others, introduced and re
ferred to the committees indicated:
