SENATOR PATTEIWON NOT A FUGITIVE FROM JUSTICE. Washington, December 5.—Judge Humphreys this morning delivered his opinion in the mutter of Jno. J. Patterson, relator bn hubens corpus, to be relieved from the warrant of ur- rest on requisition of the Governor of South Carolina. There were present among others, Senator Patterson and two or his counsel, namely Messrs. Cook and Sliellaburger, and Mr. Lowndes, attorney for South Caro lina. The Judge’s opinion was elab orate. He denied the power of the State of South Carolina to vacate Sen ator Patterson’s commission which must continue until constitutionally revoked in pursuance of organic au thority. It could not be said that Senator Patterson was a fugitive from justice, as he was here in discharge of official duties like all other meinbers of Congress, and besides he had noted in the capacity of Senator years be fore the present indictment was brought against him in the South Carolina court. The writ was granted and defend ant discharged. housk bSpouts. In the Elections Committee of the House three reports were read—one by Cox, Republican, to refer back, one by Hiscock, Republican, to seat Belford, one by Springer, Democrat, to seat Patterson.

Tlie majority and minority of Privileges and Elections are prepar ing an elaborate rc|K>rt on the Eustis ease, which will he presented in elaboration of their resolution, six to three, that Eustis is entitled to his seat. TO BE RENOMINATED. The President is again quoted by persons who visited him yesterday, that he would renew all nominations upon which no adverse report had been made by the committee to executive sessions. If this determi nation holds, all will tie re-nomina ted, except the New York Custom House officers, and Sanford as minis ter to Belgium. . TEXAS BORDER. General Ord is before the Military Committee.

GENERAL ORD’S EVIDENCE, Ord stated in his evidence before the Military Committee, that the Mexican people and authorities on the lower Rio Grande were in sym pathy with the raiders into Mexico, THE NEW DEMOCRATIC PAPER, the Post, appears to-morrow. The Democratic caucus of the House this afternoon voted to endorse and sup port it. It starts with a specimen is sue of about 10,000 coiiies. The staff consists of Stillson Hutchins, propri etor ; John A. Cockerill, managing editor: A. C. Buell, editorial writer, and Messrs. Aiken and Marks, assist ants. It is contemplated by the man agers to adopt the plan so long prac ticed by certain influential newspa pers of purchasing news from outside parties, which will be a new feature in Washington journalism.

Special to Enquirer-Sun.J Washington, December 5.—The reports that the suspected Cuban steamer Estelle has been granted clearance were premature. JUDGE HUMPHREYS’ TALK. Humphreys’ decision in the Pat terson case concludes: I think I am bound to take judicial cognizance that party organization is one tiling and faction to destroy it is another. The most cruel tyranny would be the ap plication of civil torms of law to the dominance and triumph of the pas sions of a faction. 1 cannot reconcile it to ray sense of duty to give aid in § lacing manacles and handcuffs ubout } e individual citizen for the purpose of surrendering him bound infertile hands of those who may not be dis passionate enough to vindicate the true rights of the individual, or to those who might lie led by impassioned appeals to a condition of mind they could not resist. Zeal for the correction of wrong has often led to the convictr ion of the iunooent. It is the duty of courts to sit still, deliberate and with civil procedure to throw their pro tection in such decision us may curb and control wayward action. Let the man he remanded to the body j/t which he is a member. That body is legally, constitutionally, morally, and intellectually capacitated to dis pose of tile questions involved and to condemn or acquit. I discharge him from arrest of the warrant for his extradition and the same is hereby ordered. EUSTIS CERTAIN TO BE SEATED. Special to Enquirer-Sun.] Washington, Decembers.—There Is no doubt that Eustis will be seated as Senator from Louisiana, but there will probably be six speeches on eacli side, not for delay but to enable Sen ators to place themselves on record.

The visit of the Vice President and Secretary Sher man to the White House is under stood to have reference to the New Orleans Custom House, and it is like ly in this instance the President will depart from his determination of re- nominutingpnrties against whom the committees of the Senate have taken no adverse action.

The* Latest Indicate a Probable Agree* raent and Negotiation* are Progre*** in*. % EXPLANATIONS ASKED FOK. Versailles, December 5.—Leon Renault gave notice lie would ask the Ministry to explain tlie semi-official note which stated, in substance, that President MacMalion’s efforts to form a conciliatory Ministry have been so far frustrated by tlie exhorhitunt de mand of the Left that a congress of the two houses should be held for tlie revision of the Constitution. M. Grevy said lie was tlie only member Of tile majority who had been summoned by the President, and he did not speak in the name of the Left or indicate any conditions. Tlie a fill l r causes much comment. Several members of the Left declared after the sitting that the idea of a congress, which had only been men tioned in private conversation, had been seized upon nt the Elysee as a pretext for breaking off negotiations for reconciliation. DENIALS OF THE LEFT. Paris, December 4—Midnight.— The Bureaux of tlie Left of the .Sen ate issued note formally denying any Senator belonging to their section lias been authorized by the Republi cans, or commissioned by President MucMahon, to formulate conditions for the formation of a Parliamentary Cabinet. Deputies of the Left have issued a similar declaration. THREAT TO THE CHAMBER. Manchester, December 5.—The Guardian'u Paris special says Mar shal MacMahon’s refusal to' receive the delegation of merchants on Mon day, has caused great irritation. . A Reuter from Paris Is reported to day in Parliamentary circles flint tlie Government contemplates prorogue- ingtheChnmbcrof Deputies and form ing a dissolution of the Ministry, should theChamber not vote tlie Bud get to-morrow. CONDITIONS ENTIRELY UNSETTLED. London, December 5.—A special to tlie Timm from Paris says all po litical finessing and ostensible nego tiations which have been going on for some days past simply conceal u plan of campaign for the execution of which it was necessary to prepare the public opinion. Tills plan is no other hail a fixed idea of a second dissolu tion. President MncMalion lias sum moned the Duke DeAndiffrct Par- luier and MM. Grevy and Dufoureto tlie Elysee, but did not enter on a question of a new cabinet witli any if them. He merely spoke generally, neither side formulating any propo sals. Then lie saw Senator DuClerie, who lia<i no mission or official status, and asked him whnt the Left de mnnded. M. DuClerie, thinking to bring about a compromise, wrote a note expressing his views of what liis iarty might expect. Of course ike a man bargaining, lie asked much in the hope of obtaining little. Immediately the Right unanimously cry out, you see what the Left demands, a coup d’etat against tlie Senate; tlie dishonorof the Marshal. It is impossible to come to an understanding with them. Next day, when every body belives nego tiations are about to begin, till official note announces that they are broken off - ; that tlie President cannot yield to the demands of tlie Left and dis arm himself and the Senate. In other words, advantage is taken of the individual, unofficial and almost confidential act of a Senator in order to strike with ill-gulsed enthusiasm into the path of a second dissolution Tlie Chamber having furnished no pretext one is sought for outside, and where it is believed to have been found. This note is issued as the first warning of tlie battle in which it is desired to engage. The scheme is transparent. After the overwhelming contradic tion given to tlie note by last night’s proceedings in tlie Chamber, what will the President do? That is diffi cult to say. It is terrible to contem plate a dissolution involving!!!! illegal collection of taxes, and it is paiiiiul to see tlie Marshal lien lined in between violence and dissolution; hut judging by tlie past, it is to be feared Ills prompters will select that course which is most dreaded by moderati men. NEGOTIATIONS U ROB ABLE. Special to Enquirer-Sun.] London, December 5.—A Reuter’f from Paris contains the following In parliamentary circles this evening in consequence of groups of the Left having protested against the imputa tion that they wished to modify the Constitution, an arrangement is not thought impossible. Negotiations to that end are believed to he imnii nent. It is rumored the Left ar dined to postpone debate upon the Budget question until Monday, in ol der to facilitate negotiations. M. De\Vclohe, Minister of the In terior, ill receiving the Mayors of Paris and^othem to-day, declared the Marshal's was not a roup cl'rial Gov ernment, lmt would respect Law Constitution and the Republic.

The reporter was about to reniark- tliat if a life of gratitude for what she had already averted, if devotion, un dying, deep—hut the pointed ’ crown recalled him. ‘‘I read in a paper,” lie remarke ‘‘that when the dressmaker intrustc with making your costumes for Cleo patra went to .co l’ieous painting, to which slio was referred for sugges tions, she oume away saying tlmt tlie whole matter might’ lie more proper ly referred to a jeweller. 1 have been sent to ask—" It might have liven fancy, but tlie reporter thought that at this moment the lady’s face was eovulsed with laughter, ilu paused. “Pray continue,” said Cleopatra, "you have been sent to ask—?” “Why.” “Why?” "Why; yes, ni’in" “I infer,” said the actress, “that you are not familiar with Picon's printing of Cleopatra."
