Patterson, of Colorado.
The telegraph brings us news that the
contest for the seat in the House of Rep
resentatives from Colorado, which has
been carried on for some time past, has
been finally decided in favor of Patter
son, Democrat, by a majority of six.
The circumstances attendant on this
contest are as follows: Last October a
special election was ordered in Colorado
for a Representative in Congress for the
unexpired term intervening between the
date of the admission of that State into
the Union and the adjournment of the
44th Congress. At the election Patterson
was the Democratic and Belford the Radi
cal candidate for the position, and Bel
ford was elected by p very small majority.
The regular election for members of the
4.‘>th and subsequent Congresses, how
ever, was placed by the constitution of
the State in November, and at this elec
tion Patterson again ran, though
his opponent Belford claimed that
the October election was intended for
both the unexpired term of the 44th and
the full term of the 45th Congresses, and
refused to enter the canvass. All the
votes cast in November for Congressman
were for Patterson, so he claimed the
seat on the ground above stated. After
a full hearing of the matter, the Commit
tee on Elections reported in favor of Pat
terson, and the House was called upon to
vote upon three questions. First, to seat
Belford, which was rejected. Second, to
declare that there had been no valid Con
gressional election held in Colorado in
November, also rejected by a majority
of one. And third, to seat Patterson—car
ried by the majority of six, as before
stated.
Of course the Radical press of the
country will raise a great hue and cry over
this action of the House. They will de
nounce it as a partisan measure, and one
brought about by fraud and trickery, but
in so doing they will not only be silenced
by facts as they are, and as we
have detailed them—which clearly
show that if there was a valid and
constitutional election in November,
Patterson was undoubtedly elected—
but their cries will also be hushed by
precedents they themselves have estab
lished.
A similar case occurred in West Vir
ginia during the Forty-first, an over
whelmingly Radical, Congress. Then Mr.
Martin, Democrat, one of the present
members from that State, was nominated
for Congress against Hagans, Republican.
A certain day in August, we believe, had,
for years, been the legal day appointed
for Congressional elections by the con
stitution of the State, but in the mean
time, a new constitution had been adopt
ed and just gone into force, and
in this instrument the Congres
sional election day was changed
to October. At the first election
Martin declined to run, on the ground
that the election would be invalid. Ha
gans, however, did tud, and received only
about three or four hundred Radical votes.
In October Martin was elected by a very
large majority of some thousands : yet,
in face of all these facts, a House of Con
gress, largely Radical and in which Ben
Butler was a leader, voted to seat Hagans.
Here was a case somewhat similar to that
of Patterson, but infinitely more flagrant
ly unjast, for Hagans did not even have
the forms of law which surrounded Pat
terson’s claim to sustain him in his pre
tensions.
For our own part, we would have pre
ferred that the Democratic majority in
the present House had decided that no
valid election for a member of the Forty-
fifth Congress had been held last fall in
Colorado. This would have prevented
even the appearance of indulging in
Radical practices. Probably, however,
the committee and the House generally
were clearly satisfied that the election
was legal, and, if so, there was no
alternative but to seat Patterson. At
any rate, with their own course in the
case of Hagans, of West Virginia, on
record, to say nothing of the late action
of the Senate in the matter of Kellogg,
neither Radical leaders nor Radical
journals have any right to raise one word
of objection to the result of this Colorado
Congressional contest.
IV TELmPII
IHE MOKNESH SEWS.
FROM WASHINGTON.
A SCENE IN EXECUriVE SESSION.
Now that the Senate has seated Senator
Eustis (Democrat, Louisiana,) with only
nine negative votes, it is in order, says
the Bridgeport (Conn.) Fanner, to in
quire why he was not seated nearly two
years ago. Has any new information in
his favor come to the Senate during its
present or last session ? As the Senate
Committee has taken no evidence, the
question may be answered in the nega
tive. In fact, the Senate had no more
information upon his election when it ad
mitted him, Monday, than when his cre
dentials were presented some twenty-two
or twenty-three months ago. Verily the
ways of Republican Senatorial manage
ment are past finding out. From the
seating of Mr. Eustis only two facts can
be readily evolved, viz.: That he has
been unjustly deprived of his seat, and
his State of his services as her represen
tative, for nearly two years; and that the
Wheeler compromise Legislature which
elected Eustis is held a legal body by the
Senate, while the Hayes compromise
Legislature which elected Spofford is
practically set aside as illegal and of void
effect.
The long protracted political contest
which his for so many months been car
ried on in France between President
MacMahon, on one side, and Gambetta
and the Republicans, on the other, has
been finally settled. Ma-Mahon has an
nounced his intention of yielding to the
manifest will of the people, and has ap
pointed a Republican ministry. This
settles the question of the Re
public in France, and effectually dis
poses of the much talked of
and frequently predicted coup d' etat.
Bonapartists, Orleanists, Legitimists and
all the other advocates of a strong
government must now take back seats
and permit liberal ideas to have full play
in that hitherto much distracted and
divided country. This settlement of a
difficulty which promised at one time to
be very serious, will no doubt be hailed
with pleasure not only by the French
people themselves, but by the people of all
countries having commercial and business
relations with them.
The color line, says the Boston Post,
was broken in Georgia completely at the
last election. The colored people voted
in all sorts of ways at their own sweet
wills, and with as much freedom as they
could have done in Boston. This, says
the Post, is answer enough to the croak
ing few who still think that the colored
man in the South is the victim of unmiti
gated persecution at the hands of his
white neighbor. The Post is right. The
colored man in Georgia is not only free
to vote all sorts of ways at his own sweet
will, but is sometimes liberally paid for
voting.
The voice of the Cairo (Illinois) Bulle
tin is still for war. The editor is alarm-
ingly pugnacious. He says: “The United
States Government has already dilly
dallied too much with the Mexicans, and
it is high time that some more decisive
action should be taken. Let us have a
fightj”
Personal Matter Between Senators
Gordon and Conkling.
[Special Telegram to the Morning News.]
Washington, December 14.—During the
executive session this evening a sharp al
tercation occurred between Senators Gordon
of Georgia, and Conkling, of New York,
which may lead to serious personal conse
quences. It seems that Senator Gordon
was on the floor calling for the report on the
nomination of Smith as Collector of Customs
at Mobile, Ala., and which the Committee on
Commerce had directed Senator Spencer to
make, but which it is said the latter was en
deavoring to suppress in order to prevent
the case from coming to a vote.
Mr. Conkling came to the rescue of Mr.
Spencer, calling out loudly and in peremp
tory tones, “Go on with the calendar.”
General Gordon, on beiDg thus interrupt
ed, remarked that “he was glad that the
Senate was conducting the public business
and that the Senator from New York had no
right to give orders to the Vice Paesident.
Mr. Conkling, seeming not to hear
the remarks of Senator Gordon, asked
the latter what he said, wl ereupon the
Senator from Georgia repeated his remarks.
Mr. Conkling replied that “if the Senator
from Georgia stated that he was giving or
ders to the Vice President he stated what
was not true.”
Mr. Gordon a: once restated what he had
said, when Mr. Conkling stated again that
“if the Senator stated that he had given
orders to the Vice President he stated what
was not true.”
“Yery well,” said Senator Gordon; “we
will settle that.”
“Yes,” said Conkling, “we will settle it
here.”
“No,” replied Gordon, with marked em
phasis, “we will not settle it here.”
This scene was of course highly excitiDg.
At a later period Senator Thurman under
took to play the part of peacemaker, but
failed entirely.
Mr. Conkling has privately stated to-night
that he intended no reflection upon General
Gordon’s veracity, but up to a late hour to
night the affair remains unsettled.
General Gordon is by naturo pacific, but
is as resolute as he is uniformly courteous
to all persons. It is pretty certain that Mr.
Conkling’s insulting tone towards the
Democratic Senators will not be permitted
to go on in thie case without a check.
the Cabinet that necessity exists for taking the unfortunate position in which he is
a careiul view of the subject, and hence a found placed.

CONFIRMATIONS AND NOMINATION S.
[By Telegraph to the Morning News.]
Washington, December 14.—The Vice
President laid before the Senate a com
munication from the Secretary of the In
terior calling attention to the law in regard
to compensation. He suggests that tho law
be so amended as to allow the department
to pay the same rate for advertising as pa
pers receive from private individuals. It
was referred to the Committee on Civil
Service and Retrenchment.
Mr. Cameron, of Wisconsin, called up the
House joint resolution relating to reservoirs
to promote the navigation of the Missis
sippi river, which was passed.
Mr. Edmunds, by request, introduced
bill to extend the operations of the act of
February 27, 1875, to provide for a settle
ment with certain railway companies for one
year. Referred to the Committee on Rail
roads.
At the expiration of the morning hour
the Senate resumed the consideration of
Mr. Matthews’ resolution, declaring the
right o* the government to pay bonds in
silver, and Mr. Hereford, of West Virginia,
spoke in favor thereof.
The House iB considering the report of
the Conference Committee on tho deficiency
appropriation bill.
The Ways and Means Committee adopted
resolutions that the committees pursue
investigations similar to the last session.
The Republicans cancnssed in regard to
Sergent-at-Arms French, and meet again
to-morrow. The general impression is fa
vorable to French.
More full inquiries verify the Associated
Press report of the struggle over the New
York nominations. Mr. Beck, of Kentucky,
is surprised and indignant that some papers
placed him as voting with the majority.
In the House the conference report on
the deficiency bill was, after much discus
sion, agreed to. The item of five hundred
thousand dollars for inland transportation
of mails in the star service is retained in
the bill.
The Senate amendments to the bill for the
Paris Exposition were also taken up and
concurred in. These two bills now go to
the President for his signature.
A resolution reported from the Commit
tee of Ways and Moans for a wholesale in
vestigation of all the government depart
ments was opposed by the Republicans who
resorted to filibustering motions, and the
House adjourned without action.
Confirmations—Lee, Consul General to
Frankfort; McLean, Consul General at Nas
sau; Baldwin, Collector of Customs at
Charleston, South Carolina; Prouty,Collector
of Customs at Saluria, Texas; Fisher, Sur
veyor of Customs at Cairo, Illinois; Davis,
Judge of the Court of Claims; E. C. Wade,
Collector of the Third Georgia District.
Nominations—S. Wiley Wells, of Missis
sippi, Consul at Hong Kong; L. L. Lewis,
District Attorney for the Eastern district
of Virginia; E. Pratt Stratton, of New York,
Superintendent and Inspector of Steam
boats, Second district; David Porter, Sur

chrest, Surveyor of Customs at Wheeling;
John Oglesby, Assistant Appraiser at New
Orleans; Wm. F. Lee, Postmaster at Pensa

The House Committee on the Pacific Rail
road appointed the following sub-committee
on the Texas Pacific: House, Morrison,
Chalmers, Luttrell, O’Neill, Blair and Cole.
ilesars.Honse, Chalmers and O’Neill are fa
vorable to tho Texas Pacific. The position
of Cole is not clearly defined.
In the Senate Matthews’ silver resolution
was discussed without action.
The Vice President announced as a special
committee authorized by the resolution of
Mr. Conkling, submitted on the
Uth instant, to inquire into the
possibility of promoting commercial
intercourse with Mexico, and to establish a
just and peaceful condition of affairs on the
borders of this country and Mexico, and
also to ascertain and report facts
touching the present government of Mexico
Messrs. Conkling, Hamlin, Howe, Jones or
Nevada, Cameron of Pennsylvania, Eaton
and Maxey.
The Senate adjourns to-morrow imme
diately after reading the journal, and busi
ness lies over until the 10ih of January.
The Chinese question was a leading topic
of attention to-day at a full meeting of the
Cabinet. The recent reports to the Presi
dent from Ban Francisco, in addition to sev
eral papers on the snbject brought to his
attention at varions times, were laid before
the council and made a matter of very earn
est consideration. It was expected at the
meeting that the report of yesterday
from the six companies was an ex
aggerated statement of the disorder
that had occurred, bat the President has
been advised from several sources of a con
dition of affairs which may eventuate in ae-
rions trouble. The feeling is, therefore, en- I
tertained by the President and members of I
rather prolonged discussion of the problem
to-day. There was no result, and the mat
ter will be continued at a future meeting of
the Cabinet. It can be said that the mem
bers of the government are not unmindful
of the ability of the proper civil au
thority in San Francisco to prevent
outrages of this kind, but it may be
requisite to give assistance if required, in
which case tho naval force in the Pacific
would in all probability be directed to
stregthen the local authorities so as to pre
vent a recurrence of aDy serious trouble
that might happen. The question of the
treaty relations between the two countries
was discussed. The views of some of the
members of the Cabinet seem to be, that
some modification might be made in order
to limit the importation of the Chinese. It
is not unlikely that the President will at
some time make the Chinese question
the subject of a special message to
Congress.
The Cabinet also gave attention to
onr relations with Mexico, though there
was nothing particularly new with regard
thereto for consideration. The question of
recognizing the Diaz government will, how
ever, very soon be formally acted upon, as
the administration inclines to the opinion
that it is necessary and proper to approach
this question with bat little further delay,
and reach some decision concerning it.
No important nominations were decided
upon, and the New York custom honso ap
pointments were not subjects of any dis
cussion.
In Executive session to-day considerable
time was devoted to the nomination of
Edward C. Wade to be Collector of Internal
Reveuue for the Third district of Georgia.
Senators Gordon and Hill opposed its con
firmation on the ground that Wade would
not be acceptable to the people of Georgia.
They thought a Republican acceptable to
the peopleshould have been appointed. The
nomination, after some discussion, was con
firmed by a strict party vote. There was also
some opposition to tho confirmation of C.
H. Baldwin to be Collector of Customs of
Charleston, vice Worthington, and of
Messrs. Lee and McLain, both of Ohio,
nominated respectively for tho Consul
Generalship at Frankfort and the Consul
ship of Nassau, but they were all three con
firmed by large majorities.
It has transpired that Blaine would have
been Chairman of the Committee on Mexi
can Affairs, created by Mr. Conkling, had
his health not demanded recreation during
the recess. The twelve years’ sore between
Blaine and Conkling, it is said,- has been
healed. Blaine gave Conkling vigorous
support in his contest against the President
over the New York custom house.
The nomination of Sami. B. McLin,
formerly a member of the Florida returning
board, to be Associate Justice of the
Supreme Court of New Mexico, was reported
unfavorably from the Judiciary Committee,
and was rejected in executive session with
out division. Senator Conover is reported
as most earnest in opposition to this ap
pointment as one nDfit to be made.
M. Ozenne, Minister of Commerce,
M. Faye, Minister of Publics Instruction^
and Admiral Roussin, Minister of Marine,
of the Grimaudet de Rochebouet Cabinet,
will resume their former positions as heads
of departments.
London, November 14.—A Paris dispatch
to the Times says : “The message from
the President is to be communicated to the
Chamber of Deputies by M. De Marcere,
Minister of the Iuterior, and to the Senate
by M. Dufaure, President of the Council
and Minister of Jnstice. The message is
short, and will give every satisfaction to the
majority. The whole budget for 1878 will
be voted before the Chamber! separata.
Great and general satisfaction prevails at
this termination of the crisis.”
Versailles, December 14.—The message
of MacMahon was read in both Chambers.
It states that the elections of October 14th
affirmed afresh the confidence of the coun
try in Republican institutions. The mes
sage continues: “In order to obey parlia
mentary rules, I have formed a Cabinet se
lected from both Chambers, composed of
men resolved to defend and maintain these
institutions by the sincere exercise of
constitutional laws. The interests of the
country imperatively demanded that
the crisis through which we are
passing shall be set at rest, and demand,
with no less force, that it shall not be re
newed. The exercise of the right of disso
lution is in effect nothing bat a supreme
consultation before a Judge, from whom
there is no appeal, and could not be estab
lished as a system of government. I be
lieved it to be my duty to exercise this right
and conform myself to the reply of the
country.
“By the constitution of 1875 a parliamenta
ry republic was formed. The constitution
while establishing my irresponsibility in
stituted the joint and individual responsi
bility of the ministers. The independence
of ministers is the condition of their re
sponsibility. The principles of the consti
tution are those of my government. The
termination of the cris'.s will be the start
ing point of a new era of prosperity, for the
promotion of which all the public powers
will concur. Harmony being re-established
between the Senate and Chamber of
Deputies, and the latter being henceforth
assured against premature dissolution,
the Chambers will be entitled to achieve
the great legislative labors demanded by
the public interests. The International
Exhibition will offer to the world fresh tes
timony of the vitality of onr country.” The
message is signed by President MacMahon
and countersigned by M. De Macere, Minis
ter of the Interior, and M. Dufaure, Presi
dent of the Council.

weeks’ provisions still on hand and ten days’
rations in his transport train for the whole
army. The immediate cause of his aban
doning his entrenchment was the breaking
oat of an epidemic among the troops. There
were forty or fifty dead bodies a day in Piev-
na, there were no men available to bury
them, and the mortality was increasing.
Eight hundred sick and wounded are in the
hospitals.”
A telegram from Athens announces that
l insurrection has broken ont in the

Constantinople, December 14. — The
Turkish troops are concentrating on the
Servian frontier.
London, December 14.—A Renter telegram
from Erzeroum, dated yesterday, says in
pursuance of orders from Lord Derby the
British Consul left here this morning with
all the arohives of the consulate.
Four fourteen centimetre siege guns have
been brought by the Russians from Kars to
Hassan Kaloh, and the attack upon Erze
roum is momentarily expected.
General TergukassofTs division from Bay-
azid is threatening Van, the Turkish head
quarters.
The Erzeroum correspondent of the Times
says the departure of the British Consul by
order of Lord Derby is regarded by the
Turks as foreshadowing a British declara
tion of war against Russia.
The Pall Mall Gazette has a dispatch from
Copenhagen saying: “It is believed the
Russian Minister is negotiating with Den
mark with a view of proposing Prince Vladi
mir of Denmark or Prince John of Glucks-
bergas ruler of Bulgaria.”
A Renter telegram from Constantinople,
via Syra, says : “Peace and war parties are
contending for the supremacy, but it is be
lieved the war party will prevail.
London, December 14.—A Russian official
dispatch dated Bogert, 13tb, says: “Sixty
battalions of Turks yesterday attacked the
forces of Grand Duke Vladimir all along the
line, directing, however, their principal
efforts against the left and centre. They
attacked Metchka six times, bnt were
each time repulsed with great loss and
compelled to retire to Jovan, Bifilik
being cut off. The Grand Duke Vladimir
narrowly escaped a ball which struck very
near him. Suleiman Pasha, describing the
same affair, claims that he carried some of
the entrenchments of Metchka, but was
unable to hold them owing to the fire from
the heights and the arrival of Russian rein
forcements.
It is reported that it has been necessary
to amputate Osman Pasha’s foot.

Pinohback cannot understand why he,
elected United States Senator by a Legis
lature whose members all had undoubted
returning board certificates, should have
been rejected, while Kellogg, who was
elected by a Legislature which never had
the slightest claim to legality, should
have been seated by the votes of the very
men who favored his rejection. Pinch-
back is opaque both in face and intellect.
The reasons are obvious. In the first
place, the Radical majority in the
Senate needed Kellogg’s vote much more
than they did Pinchback's when he was a
claimant. In the next place, Pinchback
is a negro, with a negro wife, and much
as your average Radical professes to love
“the poor African,” he is not sufficiently
enamored of him to be willing for his
wife to associate on terms of social
equality with a black woman. These are
the reasons in a nut shell for Pinchback’s
rejection and Kellogg’s admission.

AN EXAGGERATED CHINESE TELEGRAM.
San Francisco, December 14.—The state
ment telegraphed to-day by the Chinese,
six companies, to President Hayes, that one
hundred and fifty of their countrymen, on
landing from a river steamer, were attacked
by roughs and maltreated and robbed, and
that no interference was made by the police
for their protection, lacks confirmation.
Careful inquiry at the central and harbor
police stations and from persons frequent
ing the vicinity of the steamboat
landing, fails to show that aDy snch
incident occurred. City Point is infested by
crowds of vagrant boys who take advantage
of every opportunity to throw stones at
Chinamen landing at the wharves. Such an
occurrence took place last Saturday uigbt v
when the policemen in attendance on the
dock chased the boys away and administered
a flogging to two or threo of them. Proba
bly this circumstance has boen mignified

SYNOPSIS OF THE SULTAN’S SPEECH.
Constantinople, December 14.—In the
speech from the throDe yesterday the Sal
tan declared that Russia began the war and
that Turkey was compelled to defend her
self against aggression, and had offered the
utmost resistance. The Ottoman had dis
played a most patriotic spirit,as was evinced
by the self denial of all classes. Tho
Courage of the Turkish soldiers had
excited the admiration of the world.
He t-poke with special approbation of
the formation of a civic guard. His non-
Muesulman subjects had shown a conscien
tious desire to share in the defense of the
country. The constitution granted to non-
Munsulman subjects perfect equality in law,
t^refore as they had acquired correspond-
duties at home, it was only nat
ural they should share in the military
service, and the government had decided to
enlist non-Mussulman subjects in the ranks
of the army. The only safeguard for the
empire was completely to carry out the con
stitution. The Sultan’6 dearest wishes were
to see all classes of his subjects eDjoy the
blessings of complete equality and the
country profit by the acceptance of modern
ideas, financial reforms, the fulfilment
of national engagements, the adjust
ment of taxation in accordance
with the rnle of sound political
economy, the collection of revenue on an
equitable system, the revision of the judi
cial system, reform to facilitate the tenure
and sale of lauded property, the bestowal of
municipal privileges as the basis of an ad
ministration system, and finally by the reor
ganization of the gendarmerie. Unfortunate
ly, the calamities of war had retarded the ac
complishment of these reforms. Neverthe
less, the Sultan hoped for the future progress
of reform, and various measures had
been prepared by the Council of State and
would be submitted to the consideration of
Parliament. Concerning civil procedure,
the general election, ministerial functions,
the high court of justice, the public press,
taxation, and the state of siege, he con
cluded as follows: “Gentlemen and deputies,
truth can be elicited on questions of Doliti-
cal tDd civil rights only by perfect liberty
of discussion. That liberty having been con
ferred by the constitution, you require from
Not Afraid.—Senator Patterson says I
there is no authority for or truth in the
statement that he “will go to South Car
olina in January next to give bail for his
appearance for trial.” He says that he
will go to South Carolina when his bnsi- I
ness or his inclination prompts him, and
that he expects to go very soon. He does
not anticipate that any further proceedings I
will be taken against him in the courts
of South Carolina, and does not, there
fore, see what he would give bail for.
