ISpecial Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun.
j ? Washington, November 22.
j BFFECT OP THE LOUISIANA CASS. :
Should Mr. Butler be admitted it
will inevitably lead to . the admission
of Eustis and Spofford. This is tho
roughly understood, and it accounts
for a remarkable scene witnessed in
the Senate chamber after the ad
journment.' f Senator Conk ling was
the centre piece of a group consisting
of himself. Senators Anthony,. Howe,
Mitchell and others. In his band he
held a tally list, and, with the others
looking over his shoulders, scanned
eagerly one by one the yeas and nays.
All that could be made out was that
if every absentee had been present
the majority of one would still have
been .on the same side. It was
demonstrated that the two carpet
baggers, Conover and Patter
son, have it in their power to
turn the Senate one way or the other.
The situation is looked upon as so
grave that; a telegram was sent to
Mr. Blaine "to-night urging him if
possibles to return. - His pair with
Mr. Grover would hold until ; the re
turn of the latter, but his presence
and counsel and assistance in debate
is desired. For it is a big stake that
the Democrats and the Republicans
are now. playing for; no less than the
control of the Senate. If three De
mocrats can be put into the three
contested seats no one questions that
the Democrats wonld then control
the Senate, and immediately. This
is so well understood that the battle
between the contending sides will be
fierce and protracted. The object of
the Republicans will be to delay a vote
on the case either of Butler or Eastis
until the case of Kellogg is decided.
With this point in view they will.if the
motion to discharge the committee
from the further consideration of
Butler's case be carried, debate the
question of his admission until the
committee is ready to report on tbe
case of, Kellogg, and then it is their
expectation that Conover and Patter
son will vote for Kellogg. With
Kellogg in,' the cases of Kustis and
Spofford could be managed, as they
think, by the present majority of the
Senate.
v Florida Republicans to-night ex
press their confidence that on the final
vote Senator Conover will uot sepa
rate from his party. They say that
he is only coquetting with the JDemo
crats for purposes ; of , his own with
reference' to the federal patronage in
Florida.

The steamship City of Vera Cruz
arrived this morning from Vera Cruz,
bringing; advices from the City of
Mexico to the 12th inst.
Differences among the members of
the Cabinet have resulted in ministe
rial changes. ; Gen.: Manuel Gonzales
is to be Secretary of War. Senor
Zanacona will remain in Mexico at
present, and it is said will be Secre
tary of Foreign Relations. Divisions
have also arisen tip Congress. The
friends of Senor Vallarta proposed a
resolution in the" Senate approv ing
his diplomatic course on the Ameri
can' question. ; It was .voted down.
Fears are eutertained that the per
fidious course of Vallarta will force
war upon the United States.
: A law has passed the Senate pro
hibiting tfte election of a President
to a second term. It is expected to
pass the House also. . .
t Congress continues to show deadly
hostility to the English company
owning the Vera Cruz railway.
Gen. Trevino was about to leave
the capital with .2,500 men for .the
Rio Grande. Trevino will then have
over 4,000 regular troops. All State
troops have, been ordered to disband
and. air irregularly armed bodies to
disarm. ; .
A suggestion has been made that
the Mexican and United States gov
ernments combine their forces on the
frontier to drive ; out the Lipan In
dians, who are considered the. sole
cause of the border difficulties. The
clerical journals are : very : violent
agaibst Diaz. The church party urges
war with the United States. A jour

1 Upon motion of Commissioner Grainger
the following older ' was 'unanimously
passed : : ! -i M
" Whereas,,. There is reason . to believe
that the Justices of the Peace, in the city of
'Wilmington; are "proposing to - institute
Drosecutions aeainst a laree number of oer
sons for failure to list their poll-tax ; and.
whereas, it is the opinion of this Board that
such prosecutions will mainly , result in the
accumulation of a vast amount of costs,.
imposing an intolerable'1 burden' on - the
county; and, whereas.it is the desire of this
Board to have the taxes collected . with the
least possible expenses; therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Justices of the Peace
of this county are hereby requested not to
institute prosecutions in any case, 1 except
with the distinct understanding that they
must look to the defendants, and not to the
county, for the costs of such proceedings,
Resolved, That it la the duty of the Sheriff
to make thorough exertions to collect the
poll tax by distress In every case wnere he
cannot otherwise collect, and where any
property can be found to seize it; aud that in
his settlement this Board will not allow him
for insolvents, except in cases where it ful
ly appears that after due diligence the tax
cannot be collected.. ,
Resolved, That the Finance committee of
this Board aie hereby appointed a special
Committee to consult with-tft magistrates
as to tbe poll tax prosecutions.
Resolved. That the Finance committee be
instructed to advertise, , requesting parties
who have not listed their poll tax to list
at once with the oberlnT and pay tne tax,
and save costs to themselves.

Aitaebuieui AffMlnat a Vessel In Port.
An attachment was issued by Col. John
D. Taylor, Clerk of the Superior Court, on
Wednesday afternoon, against the German
barque Sirene, Capt. Calliess, on the eve of
sailing for Havre, France, with a cargo of
cotton shipped by Col. A Pope, as agent
for the W., C. & A. Railroad Company.
The attachment was issued upon the affida
vit of Capt. E J. Penny packer. President
of the Wilmington Compress and Ware
house Company, which was to the effect
that Capt. Callieaa, as part owner of the
vessel, was indebted to the Compress Com
pany in the sum of $1,252.25, for com
pressing 1,646 bales of cotton. The refusa
of Capt. Calliess to pay the amount being
based ou the fact that he, as agent and
part owner of the vessel, claimed demur
rage as an offset for having been detained
about thirty days in consequence of some
derangement in the machinery of the Com
press, while the Compress Company, it is
-understood, claim that as they are not the
charter party it is not propter that they
should be made responsible, and the char
ter party (the W., C. & A. R. R.) insist that
as they had already delivered the cotton to
the Compress they were uot to blame for
the detention of the vessel, especially as
they had not obligated to deliver compress
ed cotton, that being a matter of choice on
the part of the agent and owners of the
vessel.
The attachment was served on the ves
sel about 6 o'clock on Wednesday evening,
by Sheriff Manning, who left a deputy in
charge of her until yesterday morning,
when Messrs. E. Peschau & Westermann
entered into bond in the sum of $2,504.40
