Louie wdl have a large delegation on hand, claiming that in that city was nominated Sam¬ uel J. Tilden, who was e'ected by the peo pie and counted out by the 8 to 7 commission, and that they are entitled to tiie honor of having the convention which is to nonruaro a President who will not only be elected but inaugura¬ ted. They alro claim, that they have the finest convention hall in the count¬ ry, ample hotel accommodations, and tbe most hospitable people in tbe count v, and your correspondent feels iuciiueu to eudorse all they say and claim. John Sherman and bis teernt Mabone, were considerably ta ked aback by tbe Democrats refusing to disco us the calamity resolution and decliumg to give them an opportunity to poro before tbe coectrv as champions of a “ fee ballot and a fair count.” These two wo.idiies had prepared any amount of gore and were ready to de lone tbe country witu it, but tiie Dem oc.t ts of the Senate paid no attention to t'e : r attitudinizing, and knowing nc possib'e dxua^e could result to the cemoc acy ’ cm tne pac age of their eso'ut'oa, reiorxl to discos* it, but entered their “prorest agriost tbe ex- 1 anditure that would be incurred t-jrough its operation, by reconiing taeir votes against it.

Q^en. Butler and hie minions have been in Washington tot a couple of weeks past trying to lead Democrats into the idea that it would be wire at proper ti ae to bring forward the hero of Great Bethel, Foit Fisher, aud Tew¬ ksbury as the Democratic candidate for the Presidency. The leading members of the party, however, have about as much confidence in Butler* reliability as a Democrat, as tbe old deacon bad faith in his clock as a true time-piece, which would, with the hands pointing to ten minutes to ten, strike seven at thirteen minutes p u gt five. The publec debt was reduced a little over eleven millions of dollars during I the month of January. , It if stated on good authority the Ways and Means Comal ie* v >\X "•» *• -■ Ex-Senator Dorsey, of st.*r-rou„frree, arrived in Washington from bis ranch in New Mexico, the first part of the week. It is likely that investigating he will appear the before tbe committee expenditures of tbe Department of Jus¬ tice. If Dorsey gets a cht oce he will go red-eyed for those Republicans when be helped into office, by corrupt prac¬ tices of which they were awaie, and who, the moment he got into difficulty, either fiorsook him end fled or turned upon, and with kypocratical p. etentious of horror X what he ht-u ’one, de¬ nounced him. The death of Congressman E. W. M. Macksy, of South Carolina, cerea>oni*M on t’ last, and tlie funeral.

They w’ll soon,however, recov¬ er from the sober meditations which th's de. th of oneof their nurobe* has oc casioned.and in a day or two deba eand speech-making will become as aha p and hot as evor.
