Charles Bradlaugh has written a letter in reference to the prospects of the radi- cals in carryinh . the elections to come off in England. He says it is probable there will be a majority of conservatives re- turned to the next Parliament, and that a compact radical band will be witnessed for the first time in England's history. That the conservatives are alive to the policy of the radicals, and that working- men will, probably, be represented in the House of Commona. That they will be able to send enough radicals to Parlia- ment to prevent the whigism of the Granville type from carrying measures. Petitions, numerously signed by prom- inent bankers and merchants of this city are to be presented to Congress imme- diately, against additional issue of paper money, either directly by Government or indirectly by National Banksovould be most injurious to the interests of the whole Union. 1111w.-111-••111 WASHINGToN.

The Government to retain the amount to be charged for transporting mails and the mil- itary service. The company asks the Uni- ted States to guarantee interest on 5 per cent. bonds, running for thirty years. In consideration of such accommodation the company propose to pay the Govermnent a liberal per cent, in the gross earnings, thus securing the Government from loss. The President is preparing a message to Congress, in which he makes an elaborate statement of the facts in connection with Federal proceedings in Louisiana. The President opposed any legislation by Con- gress ordering a ne..v election, and says that he has no doubt but that the eleetion in Lonkiana was an organized fraud for the benefit ot the present State government. That there never had yet been a fair count of the votes, and that such as have been re- turned were done so by dishonest means, too well known to be refuted. That Louis- iana is entitled to the same protection as anv other state from illegal and uncondi- thinal violence as other states are. '.Vashington, 26.—The Register of the Treasury was before the House Committee on appeupeokti4,m4 to -day. explaining the manner and expense of condueting and recommenils making an annual appro- priation air suet, expense, to be estimated and paid as now. under the head of private.

Anthony, from Printing Committee, re- ported unfavorably on the motion to print the memorial in relation to the government of the District ot Columbia. lie said the memorial matle serious charges against offi- cers. but no proof to sustain them has been su lent t ted. In the House, this morning, a bill was in- troduced and referred under call of the States by Gunekle, to repeal so much of the act of Mareh 3rd, 1872, as provides that rep- resentatives elected to Congress may re- ceive their compensation monthly trona the beginning. of their term. By ()rile to provide National Currency for redemption thereof in coin and for the redemption ol circulating notes heretofore issued by or, under authority of United states. The bill provides for issue by Uni- ted Siates\ of $2,000,000.000 of circulating notes, to be known as United States gold bond notes of various denominations, which are to be tiled in the treasury at reserve in- terchangable for outstanding bonds to be issued at the pleasure of holders, they shall cireulate as money and be issued by the government as National Bank Currency now is. Burney gave notice he would submit a res- olution for a committee to investigate as to proof ot the charges in the memorial, laid on the table at the expiration ot morning hour's business. The case taken up and a motion nioved that the case of Pinchback be recommitted to committee on privileges and elections, and the committee be instructed to send tbr persons and papers to investigate the conduct of Pluchback in connection with said election. The President will not send his message to Congress on Louisiana affairs until to- morrow, after submittitor the same to the cabinet to -day. Washington, -20.—In the Senate to -day, bel'ore the expiration of the morning. hour, a resolution instructing the Committee on Contingent Expenses of the Senate to con- sider the expediency ofexeluding from sta- tionery room ot the Senate all articles except paper, pens, pencils, envelopes, ink, and mucilage was adopted. Hiteheock offered a resolution directing the Secretary of Interior to fiirnish the Sen- ate with copies of reports of Government Directors of the Union Pacific Rail Roadfor the years, 72 and. 73, agreed to House bill granting authority for coinage to be execu- ted at Mint ot' the United States for foreign countries was passed. Also the House bill abolishing the otlice of First Deputy Com- missioner of Internal Revenue. The Judi- ciary Committee reported back the bill with amendments. The Bankrupt Act, with additional amendments, relating mostly to matters of deterioration of values. The amendments already reported. The following, however, are new and important amendments. Pro- viding that in ease of voluntary bankruptcy a discharge shall be granted to debtors. whose assets shall not be equal to 33 per cent., instead of fifty per cent. as now ap- proved against his estate, upon which he shall be liable as principal debtor, without assistance to his creditors in number and value as prescribed by existing law. An amendment providing that in computing number of creditors, who shall join in ap- plication to have a debtor adjudged bank- rupt, creditors whose respective debts do not exceed $250 shall not be reckoned as • part of the requisite proportion of quota of all the creditors . , but if their be no creditors whose debts exceed said sum of $250, or if requisite the number of creditors holding debts exceeding is, 1 250, fail to sign a petition the creditors having debts of said amount, shall be reckoned for the purposes afore- said. Logan introduced a bill providing a pen- sion of $8 per month shall be given to each honorably discharged surviving officers:m(1 enlisted men, including militia volunteers ot' military or naval service, who have serv- ed sixty aays in the war with Mexico. Also to the surviving unmarried widows of officers and soldiers. Morton offered an amendment to his mo- tion to the effect that P. B. Puichback he allowed to take his seat in the Senate, up- on taking the necessary oath, and the Com- mittee! on privileges and elections are sub- sequently to consider the grounds upon whirl' his seat is contested, and report to the Senate. Morton then reviewed' his ar- gument of a few days ago, as to the.validity of Kellogg government, and the legality of the legislature in electing Pinchbaek, and the general government being bound by the decision of the State tribunal on questions of State law of the State Constitution, if the government of the United States assumed the right to go behind the decision of the state tribunal on such a question. Since making that argument he had received in- formation charging Pinchback with proeur- ing his election by illegal means. If the charges are true it rendered it im- proper for him to occupy a seat in the Sen- ate, and he, Morton, thought it his duty to lay the matter before the Senate and let it decide whether to investigate the same be- fore or after his seating. McCreerv then took the floor and pro- ceeded to deliver a long speech on the con- stitution ot Louisiana, arguing against the legality of the Kellogg government, and re- viewing the facts connected with his elec- tion. and quoting copiously from the testi- mony taken by Congressional Committee on Investigation. He contended that the hellogg government was a fraud from the tirst, and held in power by a corrupt judi- ciary, and by the army of the United States. McCreery concluded by urging that the State of Louisiana had been deprived ot a Republican form ofgovernment, guaranteed to her by the constitution of the United States, that the Federal government is bound to protect the people in their repub- lican institutions, whether the enemy come from abroad or within the borders of the State. At the conclusion of his speech the further consideration of Morton's motion was postponed till Wednesday. Senate went into executive session soon after and adjourned. Orili introduced in the House a bill to expedite exchange at the depositaries, to be established at all the principal cities, under proper safeguards. It provides that accrued interest on all bonds surren- dered to the United States shall be retain- ed by the Government toward the fund- ing of National Debt. It presents volu- minous and minute details tbr regulating the bonds and the manner of exehanging them tor gold. The indications are that the internal revenue for the month will foot up 89,- 500,000, and it is estimated that .$1,000,- 000 will come from annual tax on Banks, leaving the balance of the month about on an average with the fiscal year previ- ous to the panic. The President to -day issued an execu- tive order providing for commissioners, one from each Department, and one from the Smithsonian Institute, and one front the Department of _Agriculture, to pre- pare and arrange such a collection ot ar- ticles from each department for exhibi- tion at the Philadelphia Centennial Cel- ebration as will illustrate the functions awl administrative facilities ot the Gov- ernment in thne of peace and its re- sources in thne of war. Washington, 27.—In the Senate, Thur- man presented the petition of w. w. Cor- coran. G. W. Riggs. and other tax -payers of Washin!rton City, asking for an investi- gation into the affairs of the District of Co- lumbia. L-itl on the table. On motion of MeCreery the credentials of McMillen. as Senator trom Louisiana, were recommitted to the Committee on Elections. On motion of Morton, his resolution for creating ) a Board ot' Transportation Commis- sioners, offered a few days ago, was taken up and he addressed the Senate in its favor. The Finance Committee's Resolution was taken up, but Bayard not being ready to address the Senate the consideration was postponed until to -morrow. The Committee on Banking and Curren - y. added to the bill pendiee before them ae clause looking to the early resumption ot specie payments. The President did not send to the Senate his Louisiana message to -day, it not being neat ly. The President sent to the Senate the fol- lowing nominations : Edwin M. McCook, to be Governor of Colorado ; John W. Jenkins, of Virginia, to be Secretary of Colorado ; B. Searight, Surveyor of Col- orado. Albert G. Caldwell, of Ohio, to be Counsel to Aneonia. In the Ilouse, Murray, from the Com- mittee on Public Lands, reported a bill to revive a grant of lands to aid in the con- struction of a railroad from Vieksburg to Texas state line.

I have not seen any ofthe articles which you informed me II. S. Foote has wri:ten abusing me, nor have I any desire to read Whatever he might write. In the year 1871, I published him as constitte- ionally a liar, and his subsequent course only serves to confirm me in that ,judg ment. Since that date, therefore, I have taken no notice of the utterances of said Foote. His flattery, when he was seek- ing political preferment in the' Confeder- acy, and his abuse when faithtless to his trust, as a representation in the Confeder- ate Congress, when he was preparing for his subsequent desertion to the enemy, were undisturbed by me—you are at lib- erty to use this if you think proper. I remain, respectfully and Truly yours, JEFFERSON DAVIS.\ Chicago, 27.—A Washington special to the _Enter -Ocean says the House commit- tee on Banking and Currency have ar- rived at an important conclusion and de- cided against Kelly's bill and against abolishing the National Banking Act.

Galveston, 24.—This morning in the criminal court the ease of T. B. th.lm, charged with the murder of John Furge- son, and owing to the non -arrival of wit- nesses was postponed. While waiting James Furgeaoth son of the murdered man, approached the prisoner between the railing and table and unobserved pulled a tive shooter awl tired at Helm, killing him instantly. Young Furgeson, waa arrested and is 110W on trial for the killing - of Helm. ENGLAND. Londe'', 24.—Parliament is dissolved by Royal decree. Gladstone IRIS issued an address to his Greenwich constituent:, asking fin. a re-election, and announcing that the Queen bad been pleased to ac- cept the advice of her ministers to dis- solve the present Parliament immedia- tely and summon another one to meet on the 5th ot March, 1874. Gladstone gives az; a reason for this mex-zure that since the defeat of the gov- ernment on the Irish educational ques- tion, it has not been sufficiently strong to carry out government legislation. And appeal to the people is made as a remedy tor the present state of things. The appropeiations are cut down so as to enal-le the government to promise a surplus of five millions sterling, on which to apply the large surplus to a remission of taxation which would be the course of any ministry. The principal meas- ures of relief spoken of by Gladstone have always been approved by the Conser- vatives. It would have been far better for the country. if within the Led few years the foreign policy of the Government had been a little more dignified. The extensive household suffrage to coun- ties he characterized as falaceous, and says no one has more strongly opposed the contemplated reform the premier. London, 26.—Disrali has issued an ad- dress to his constituents in Buckingham, asking for a re-election, on which he says that it is unnecessary to consider wheth- er a disolution of Parliament was resotr- ed to avoid a confession that the premier had violated constitutional law, by per- sisting for several months in the occupa- tion of office to which he had no lona:er a right. and was trying to make a day of reekoning for a war conducted wallow authority of Parliament . It suffices to point ont the enprecedented course of it intends to repeal the income tax and relieve bocci taxation. The Times says of the address . . of Glad- stone, that it is characteristic of the man, and doubts the wisdom of the repeal of the hicome tax. The Post says the address amounts to almost a complete coup de etat. The Standard is confident of a conser- vative majority in the new election, and severely condemns the suddenness of the dissolution. All.journals agree upon the popularity of financial measures of the government. The address ofGladstone, on the solving of Parliament has flattened the English market for securities. It is said that a sister of %Vitally haa paid the tine imposed on him by Chief Justice Cockburn for contempt of court. London, 24.—Whally was released from confinement yesterday on the pay- ment of his tine. The new Parliament will meet the 5th, of March. Londoh, 29.—Disrali, in an address to his constituents, in Birmingham, seeking a reelection, strongly condemns the Gov- ernment charges. Gladstone having vi- olated the constitutional law by presist- ing for several months Occupation of an office, which he was no longer enti- tled to, and with orginating the A.shantee war, without communicating with Par- liament. for which the premier is severe- I ly denounced. Disrali says he finds noth- ing definite in Gladstone's address, re- I gartling policy, except that he intends • summoning and subsequently dissolving Parliament. These is nothing definite in the premier's policy except that it in- tends to apply the surplus revenue of the 0 . overnment to a remission of taxation, which ahy party or any ministry would do. The address contains the same points as his former speech. the main and leading features of which have been tele- graphed before. London, 27.—Speculations continues in regard to the reason which caused the Government to decide upon a dissolution of Parliament. Some declare it was brought about by dissentious in the Cabinet. Oth- ers that Gladstone has been summoned be- fore the Court of Queen's Bench for not standing for a re-eleetton, after accepting office, in March last. The utmost interest - is manifested over the impending elections, and great activity is displayed in prepara- tions. The newspapers are tilled with ap- peals to the people of the counties and bur - roughs. it is believed the general election will be completed by the 16th of February. All parties feel confident ofsuccess, and the betting is now favorable to the Liberals. ,ffmossisimmewriffs. PIR,C3C - EE 1 41)TINTC); S —OF— THE MUTH REGULAR SESSION F— The Montana Legislature.
