C., March 7.—Senator Davls, of Illinots, has selected a new seat on the Demo- cratie side, and will thus be bearor the party with which he uniformly votes. In the future classification of thie Scnate [t will be unnecessary to put Davis duwn as an Independent, ns he has never cast anything but a Democratic vote since Le took his seat. ANXIOUS. " The Democrats have beco unable to obtain any {nformation {rom Orezon as to tne ability of the new Democratic member to be present at the organizntion of the House. There aro indications that Schliicher’s successor will be a Greenback- cr. The vacancy in the Twvelfth New York Dis- trict cannot bo tilled until next fall, as the Stato law does not authorize the Governor to order a apecial clection without the consent of the Leg- islature. THE GREENITS, The Beeretary of the Greenback party, fn an faterview, says: “Wo are o party now, o na- tioual party, aud wo,man mot 0 _member of our organization will” be'*'eldcted VT our votes. ‘There nre none of our own mem? bers who are ambitious for a place, nud e are just as willing to take n vew convert, provided o formally enters our ranks, asja man elected on the Natlonal ticket. Weo Intend to organize the Houso or force the bard-money men of both theold parties to combine against us, and wo would rather prefer that they should do so, The lines would then be drawn, and the fight of the people ngainst the moncy-power would be- in,”? TAE BUPERVISONS' LAW, It may be taken for granted that no law pro- viding for the repeal of the sections relating to United States Supervisors and thelr duties wiil be signed by the Presldent. Of course ho has not. even intimated to any one that he will pur- sua this course, und he could not with propriety indicate his futentions. But it Is deflnltely known that he regards these lnwa as right and nccessary, and just to all porties, and as entirely*” non-partisan in choracter, and de- signed only to sccure honesty fn uatlonal elections, e s known also to be in thorough accord with the Nepublicans in Coogress in regard to theso Jows, and there s no doubt felt awmong the latter that he will ETAND PIRMLY WITI THEM to the last In maintalnlog the presont laws on the statute hooks. As to the repeal of the Juror's-Oath law, there will be no opposition to that among Re- publicans. Indeed, an offer was made to the Democrats in conferenco committee to yleld that. As to the employinent of troops sbout the polls, it is not expected that the Republicans or President will deemn It necessary to allow the Army bill to fall on that account. Iu faet, there are wmauy who believe that the real contest In conference on the Army bill, althougn its discussion was carefully nvolded, was the concealed opposition an the part of sey- eral joctobers to the rallroad telegraph clause, and that the political amendiment was LANGELY A COVER {rom which to defeat the new telegraph legisla- tlon. 1t is quite possible that the Republicans may yleld the scction relating to the use of troops, for many of the best lawyers among them hold that under the lawa in regard to the deflance of United Btates laws the Prestdent has all the authority needed to use troops in spite of the posae comitatus clause. The Democrats are Just beglnning to con- sldur one feature of the fallurc to pass the Legislative bill which did not attract thelr atiention to s great extent when they were contomplating the effect which the fallure of this bill would have upon the Administration. ‘Thiey scem to have forzotten that ALL THE EXPENSES OF CONGRESS are also in this bill, jucluding not only the salarics of members aud Senators, uid all em- ployes, but the amount nceded fur stationery, fuel, hgbt, folding documents, pages, all the means for carrylng tho matls, all messenger serv- Ice, and, In short, every oxpense about the Caplitol, the reporting of debates and statlonery for committees as woll as for members. None of these things can be provided for after the+80th ‘of June if the Leeislative bill s not o law without opon violation of the law, und without subjecting auy oflicer violating it to criminal prosecution. Theso considerations are having a very marked offect upon both the Dewocratte members und the large crowd of cundidates for place. 'The ldea of serviug pere haps for soveral months without pay 3 18 NOT FLEABANT, and it {s particularly disagrecable to the major- ity of caudidates who will, even when success- ful, oxbaust most of their avallable rezources In the trip to Washington and coutest for posi- tigus. K1t is admitted, then, by those Domocrats who talk tho loudest of never surrondering thefr present position on the Bupervisors law and stopplng the wheels of the Government till the Republicans und President surrender, that this stopping of thelr own supplies also wil} intro- duce very troublesomo dlssatisfaction, - if not mutiny, fnto thelr own raoky, « i Tho question of Boutherncontrol of the House has also becomo prominent, and Blackburn's S'RICE FIVE CENTS] {8 campalgn witl turn upon ft.

The lobby, which waa so badly beaten. and chlefly in the House, and by its Committee on Appropriations and the 8peaker, Is hers in force, nnd fighting Rundall alnost to & man, It members were about .to leave town in despalr, when the announcement made of an extra secsslon topped them. They have not centered on any particular candidate, but sre for anybody to besit Randall. Blackburn wili open regular headquarters next week, and the campaign will be a violent one from that timnoe till the House is organized. The renewed contest of Caldwell, of Al bama, for Clerk hns brought out from those fu- tereated a very curfous story of . A PIAUD ON THIE BALLOT-NOX, perpetrated fo the Degmozratic caucus held in the House of Represontatives to declde vn the organization of the Forty-ifth- Congress, The statement {s . altogether from Democratic sources, and is to tho following effect: That o member who regarded \himsell as under spectal oblieation to ono of the principal candidates had printed o lot of @rds bearing the name of Caldwell, These he took, und, with avery hard pencdl, made a line through the name, and wrote below, with the same pencil, tie name of auother candidate. The peucil wns 50 hard und made so light tine as not to be noticed in the aubdued lizht of the hall by the friends of Caldwell, to some of whom they were distributed. When the ballots were counted care was taken to direct the attention of the tellers to these scratched tickets, Cald- well’s fricnds now clabin that coough of these were iu_the box to have chanzed the result und nomiuated him had the fraud become kuown in time. - The number of trick tickets Is given at fitteen. It Is not charged that Clerk Adams was o party to the fraud, but at the coming clectlon Caldwell's friends say that just for once they will have acting Supervisors, BRAZIL.

Mr. Lamar—The only difference between my- self und Jeffersou Davls §s, thut bis exalted character, his pre-cminent talente, his wells cstablished reputation as a statcsman, as o vatriot, und a8 o soldior,enabled him to take the lead fu @ cause to which I.congeerated mysolf, -and to which every flbre of my heart respotded, ‘There was no distinetion between insult to him and the Southern people, except that he was their chosen leader and they his enthusiastic followers; nnd there has been no difference since.” Jeffersan Davis, since the War, lins nover counseled fusurrcetion against the authority of the Government. Not one word las ko uttered Inconsistent with tho greatness nnd glory of this American Republie, The Senator from Massachusetts can point to no utterance of Jeferson Davis' which bids the people of the South to cherish aulmositivs und hostilities to tbis Unfon. Nor docs ha eherlsh them himself, ‘The Bonator, it pains mo to sy it, not only in- troduced this umendmnent, but he coupled that honored nume with treason, for, sir, he s hon- ored amoug the Bouthern people. He did only WIIAT THEY SOUGHT TO DO.
