Senator Hoar awked Judgl Slpofford hlow. a.- I Cording to the Louishana constitution. the Xc'- rotary of State could give scaled returns of I electlons to the Speaker of the House, when, until ertllenlates of election had been appended' no means of determining what member had at prima facto right to a seat could be had. Judge + ipofford admitted that uulose r'leturns were oplied from parish returns it would bh difficult * determinj in the first instance who had a Sriaht to the llate In the Logislature. Senator Hoar said that according to the old eenrtitution of (Georgia the Scletatry of Stato ODneed the returns. and tho House meets and organizes with the 8peaker on the statements of the Bieretalry. Judge Bpofford acknowledgend that both of tho t lval governments of Louisiana. in the first Lmys of tlheir respe'l lve organizations, were •gtilty of irregullirit io; but at the time ofI his eleotion the Nicholls government was in full Sblst and running nceording to the letter as a ewll ias the meaning of the law. We also showed that the State Legislature 1 from which he was accreited had been in con- tinuous existence ever since the legal expira- tMon of the preceding government: whereas I the other and pretended Legislature had exist- e d only a brief time, beginning and ending at c ts unknown to the law of Louisiana. He expressly disclaimed havitng ever read the words di'fac'to and df jutr'e to distinauish the t iP~ckard from the Nicholls government, and "rsed his whole case upon the assumption that t here had been no government but that of Nleholls in Louisiana since January 4, either t ia law., in eouity. or in fact.

THE LOUISIANA SENATORSHIP. [Baltimore Sun.( THE CASH OF .rU)tit ScPOFFORD. WASHINGTON, Oct. 2o.-The Senate Commltt•e on Privloeges and Elctions hold a meeting this morning and made a show of proiceedlngs with the case of Spiotordi ais against Kellogg by noti- fying both parties to appo•r before the commit- tee on Monday next. A Sout horn RIepubllcan Senator, who has had au interview with the President on the sulbject., says that the, Presi- dent unreservedly remarked that he thought Mr. Kelloagg should hie admitted to the Senate. and that he thought every Interest of the Ite- publican party domandid his admlissaon. This explains the course of ,tanloy Matthe•'s, who will certainly vote for the admission of Mr. Kel- logg. THE CARE OF MR. EUSTI,. In the case of Mr. Eustis. of Louisiana, which came before the Senate to-day, the tabling of Mr. Thurman's propositlon was at his own in- stance. in order that Judge lavis antd e ther new Senators who were not cognizant of the circumstan"es of the ease wouldt have the op- portunity to examine into it. The Democratic Senators also had the assurance privately from several of the Republican Senators that =o far as the case of Mr. Eustis was ctncerned they would not interpose any unnecessary delay in taking it up for action. Some of th - Louisiana Democrats here say that there is a kind of a half wish among some of the hundred or more sena- torial aspirants in Louisiana that Mr. Eustia shall not be admitted, as it would give them another chante. Want It settled. [Cincinnati Commercial.] WASHINoyro.

This fact thas not been known to the gieneral ,ublic until within the last few days ant is belloved to be a strong point against Moffatt.

"Mr. •Stephens."said he, "says Mr. Hayes holds his offile by a better title than George Washington did. because Mr. Hayes was put th ,re by the highest judicial tribunal ever formed in this country." "That reminds me," s~id Mr. Blaine. "Gf an old fillow up in Maine who ran for office, and they charged on the slump that he had been indicted for villainy of some kind. The candidate answered in his ,own behalf that the other candidate made a I great blunder in staking the htarge. He ad- misted the indictment, and pointed to the fact that he had the verdict of twelve jurymen to the effect that he was an honest man, while his or,- ponent had never even been indaited, and con- seqrtuntly could not have such a recommenda- tion for the suffrsges of the people."

Philadelphia Leat to the Reptabllans. [N. Y. Triban".] A bad feature of the situation for the Iie- publicans is that they cart no longer count upon Philadelphia for its old Republican ma- jority of from 10,0w() to 20~(00X, and they will probably not get any majority at all here. The local organizatinm Is broken into two dis- cordant factions, one led by Dlisston, and the other by Iowan. The Mayor has directed his police not to pay one dollar of assessment, and he seems dispolon to let the elfectlon go by default. Those who are familiar with the Influence of the police in a city campaign will appreciate the effect of this Indifferent atti- tude this year. It is possible that the State committee may pluck up courage, shake off its lethargy and organize a brisk fortnight's canvass; but there are no signs as yet of such intention on their part, except to issue a sonorous proclamation call- ing upon Republican voters to be true to their party, which has reduced the State debt by some $27,000,000, and has always been true to its trusts. Senator Cameron who, it will be recollected, controlled the late convention, might be expected to step in at this critical juncture and make a heroic effort to preserve the old ascendancy of the party; but It is re- ported here that he will husband his strength and money for next year when a Legislature is to be chosen. That Legislature will re- elect Cameron or somebody in his place, and his thoughts are naturally in that direction, and he is busy with plans to carry close dis- tricts next year rather than making what seems to be a close light this fall. The Paris Exhibition. IN. Y. Tribune.l The Paris Universal Exhibition building for the exhibition of 1878 is being pushed rapidly to completion by the French government, and already has a grand appearance. The great hall is completed up to the springing of the iron roof trusses, and more than three quar- ters of the iron and glass roofing over the in- dustrial galleries on the Champ de Mars has been completed. In the centreof the building is a wide open air avenue, in which will be p~ie rttre t;me art-gaieris. Itt was at first thought that there would be no necessity for annexes, but the idea has been given up and the Champ de Mars will be more crowded with supplementary buildings than it was in 1867. Half of the space of the grand vesti- bule will be used for the exhibition of the presents received by the Prince of Wales during his visit to India.

Senator Hoar awked Judgl Slpofford hlow. a.- ICording to the Louishana constitution. the Xc'-rotary of State could give scaled returns of Ielectlons to the Speaker of the House, when,until ertllenlates of election had been appended'no means of determining what member had atprima facto right to a seat could be had. Judge +ipofford admitted that uulose r'leturns wereoplied from parish returns it would bh difficult* determinj in the first instance who had a

Sriaht to the llate In the Logislature.Senator Hoar said that according to the old

eenrtitution of (Georgia the Scletatry of StatoODneed the returns. and tho House meets andorganizes with the 8peaker on the statementsof the Bieretalry.

Judge Bpofford acknowledgend that both of tho tlval governments of Louisiana. in the firstLmys of tlheir respe'l lve organizations, were

•gtilty of irregullirit io; but at the time ofIhis eleotion the Nicholls government was in fullSblst and running nceording to the letter as a

ewll ias the meaning of the law.We also showed that the State Legislature 1

from which he was accreited had been in con-tinuous existence ever since the legal expira-tMon of the preceding government: whereas Ithe other and pretended Legislature had exist-e d only a brief time, beginning and ending at c

ts unknown to the law of Louisiana.He expressly disclaimed havitng ever read the

words di'fac'to and df jutr'e to distinauish the tiP~ckard from the Nicholls government, and"rsed his whole case upon the assumption that there had been no government but that of

Nleholls in Louisiana since January 4, either tia law., in eouity. or in fact. BUELL.

THE LOUISIANA SENATORSHIP.

[Baltimore Sun.(THE CASH OF .rU)tit ScPOFFORD.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2o.-The Senate Commltt•eon Privloeges and Elctions hold a meeting thismorning and made a show of proiceedlngs withthe case of Spiotordi ais against Kellogg by noti-fying both parties to appo•r before the commit-tee on Monday next. A Sout horn RIepubllcanSenator, who has had au interview with thePresident on the sulbject., says that the, Presi-dent unreservedly remarked that he thoughtMr. Kelloagg should hie admitted to the Senate.and that he thought every Interest of the Ite-publican party domandid his admlissaon. Thisexplains the course of ,tanloy Matthe•'s, whowill certainly vote for the admission of Mr. Kel-logg.

THE CARE OF MR. EUSTI,.In the case of Mr. Eustis. of Louisiana, whichcame before the Senate to-day, the tabling of

Mr. Thurman's propositlon was at his own in-stance. in order that Judge lavis antd e thernew Senators who were not cognizant of thecircumstan"es of the ease wouldt have the op-portunity to examine into it. The DemocraticSenators also had the assurance privately fromseveral of the Republican Senators that =o far asthe case of Mr. Eustis was ctncerned theywould not interpose any unnecessary delay intaking it up for action. Some of th - LouisianaDemocrats here say that there is a kind of a halfwish among some of the hundred or more sena-torial aspirants in Louisiana that Mr. Eustiashall not be admitted, as it would give themanother chante.

Charlie Ross, Allas Johnny Mothfftt.RniraMOND, Ind., Oit. 24.-One ftact that makes

the identliy of litt!e Johnnuy Moffat more mys-terious than at the time of his adoption by Mr.Moffatt Is that the latter gawv his confidentialneighbors to unduerstand that he wished every-body to believe that Johny was his own andnot an adopted child. This fact thas not beenknown to the gieneral ,ublic until within thelast few days ant is belloved to be a strongpoint against Moffatt.

Mrs. Heiteman. being a cousin of Mr. Moffatt.was supposed to know more about the true in-wardness of the case than most people. Hersuspicions as to who Johnny really was we'eannounced several years ago, and she has beensteadily working up Tho case for several monthspast, and a diary kept by her, which has justcome to light, shows that she has displayedmore than ordinary skill in her movements.

day that so far as the title Alexand,,r H. Site-Frhene accords to Hayes Is concerned, the simile/s peculiar. "Mr. •Stephens."said he, "says Mr.Hayes holds his offile by a better title thanGeorge Washington did. because Mr. Hayes wasput th ,re by the highest judicial tribunal everformed in this country." "That reminds me,"s~id Mr. Blaine. "Gf an old fillow up in Mainewho ran for office, and they charged on theslump that he had been indicted for villainy ofsome kind. The candidate answered in his,own behalf that the other candidate made aI great blunder in staking the htarge. He ad-

misted the indictment, and pointed to the factthat he had the verdict of twelve jurymen to theeffect that he was an honest man, while his or,-ponent had never even been indaited, and con-seqrtuntly could not have such a recommenda-tion for the suffrsges of the people."

Philadelphia Leat to the Reptabllans.[N. Y. Triban".]

A bad feature of the situation for the Iie-publicans is that they cart no longer countupon Philadelphia for its old Republican ma-jority of from 10,0w() to 20~(00X, and they willprobably not get any majority at all here.The local organizatinm Is broken into two dis-cordant factions, one led by Dlisston, and theother by Iowan. The Mayor has directedhis police not to pay one dollar of assessment,and he seems dispolon to let the elfectlon goby default. Those who are familiar with theInfluence of the police in a city campaign willappreciate the effect of this Indifferent atti-tude this year. It is possible that the Statecommittee may pluck up courage, shakeoff its lethargy and organize abrisk fortnight's canvass; but there are nosigns as yet of such intention on their part,except to issue a sonorous proclamation call-ing upon Republican voters to be true to theirparty, which has reduced the State debt bysome $27,000,000, and has always been true toits trusts. Senator Cameron who, it will berecollected, controlled the late convention,might be expected to step in at this criticaljuncture and make a heroic effort to preservethe old ascendancy of the party; but It is re-ported here that he will husband his strengthand money for next year when a Legislatureis to be chosen. That Legislature will re-elect Cameron or somebody in his place, andhis thoughts are naturally in that direction,and he is busy with plans to carry close dis-tricts next year rather than making whatseems to be a close light this fall.

The Paris Exhibition.IN. Y. Tribune.l

The Paris Universal Exhibition building forthe exhibition of 1878 is being pushed rapidlyto completion by the French government, andalready has a grand appearance. The greathall is completed up to the springing of theiron roof trusses, and more than three quar-ters of the iron and glass roofing over the in-dustrial galleries on the Champ de Mars hasbeen completed. In the centreof the buildingis a wide open air avenue, in which will bep~ie rttre t;me art-gaieris. Itt was at firstthought that there would be no necessity forannexes, but the idea has been given up andthe Champ de Mars will be more crowdedwith supplementary buildings than it was in1867. Half of the space of the grand vesti-bule will be used for the exhibition of thepresents received by the Prince of Walesduring his visit to India.
