It will bo observod that the ‘:}nrty managers did not attempt to swear in Pinchback as a Sena- tor zeltordny, ‘whon the Senate was reorganized. Buch a procoeding would have caused an im- mediato explosion, which would have boen very unpleasant on such a grand coremonial coca~ sion. ‘The Caldwell case ought also to be voted on at once, in order that it may consume none of tho time of noxt winter's session.

Brroman and Hitcheock are the only Sonators left on the Committoe on Territo- riog, from whom a Ohairman will be likely to bo chosen, and the chances are in favor of tho lat- ter.
